Chapter 106 Demon Suppression Tower and Ares Technology
a few days later.

In Dalian, the battle between the Armor Warriors and the Shadow Guardians has entered a fierce stage.

Every day, the news headlines are almost entirely dominated by various tabloid stories such as "unidentified creatures damaging city buildings" and "flames shooting into the sky, suspected to be a gas explosion."

But Ba Dou didn't care about these things. Instead, he leisurely arrived in Tianjin, or more accurately, Xiwang City.

With his work on the ERP system finished, he can finally focus on his own things.

Before me stood a massive, weathered tower.

The tower is mottled and exudes an ancient and solemn aura. On the plaque at the top of the tower, three large characters are engraved in a flamboyant style: "Demon Suppression Tower".

The tower's main gate was heavily locked with iron chains as thick as an arm, and a large, rusty padlock hung on it, seemingly declaring that this place was inviolable.

"Ha~"

Ba Dou smiled when he saw this. This thing was useful to ordinary people, but to him, it was no different from being made of paper.

He stepped forward, gripping the cold iron chain with his right hand, and the chilling energy originating from his Shadow Realm bloodline surged within him instantly.

He didn't use brute force to pull it.

Instead, it allows that dark "qi" to enter from within, breaking the lock on the heart...

"Click——"

With a sharp crack, the sturdy iron chain snapped, as fragile as a withered tree branch.

Ba Dou casually tossed the broken chain aside and pushed open the heavy door.

A long-dormant, chilling aura wafted over.

The space inside the tower is far more magnificent and enormous than what is shown in the TV series.

In the dim light, twenty-four ferocious statues stood on both sides, each lifelike and exuding an ominous aura.

Netherworld Demon.

Besides Kula, the statues of Lufa's twenty-four strongest Netherworld Demons are all here.

Ba Dou's gaze swept quickly over the statues, finally settling on the high platform in the center of the hall.

There, a neatly folded garment lay quietly.

It must be the one that sealed Lu Fa...

Ba Dou nodded. It seemed the timing was about what he had expected; Lu Fa hadn't had time to be resurrected yet.

After all, in the original story, the Netherworld Demon only appeared ten years later, collecting resurrection energy through crime as a means of cultivation.

He temporarily ignored the clothes of the sealed path and began to carefully observe the layout of the tower.

“Gen, Kan, Qian, Dui, Kun, Zhen, Li, Xun…”

Ba Dou muttered incantations and paced back and forth in the main hall with peculiar steps.

"It really is the layout of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams."

His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The TV series didn't go into detail, but he had long suspected that the internal structure of the Demon Suppression Tower was a mysterious one, given how many elements of this were present in the series.

So... according to the theory of the Eight Gates Formation, the entrance to the spaceship should be located at the "Gate of Life," which symbolizes infinite vitality.

The Death Gate and the Shock Gate are traps, the Wound Gate and the Block Gate are mazes, the Rest Gate is for recuperation, and the Open Gate is the main entrance but is definitely protected.

Only the entrance to life is the most suitable place to hide the core.

With that thought in mind, Ba Dou no longer hesitated and took out the Gengnu Vajra Pestle from the backpack on his back.

He gripped the vajra tightly and walked toward the direction of the Gate of Life that he had calculated.

One step, two steps...

The moment he stepped into the gate of life, the silent vajra in his hand suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the seemingly ordinary wall in front of him made a creaking sound, and a hidden door slowly rose up, revealing a deep, downward-extending metal passage.

"Sure enough!"

Ba Dou felt much more at ease.

Everything went exactly as he expected.

Why would Captain Gorfar of Ares go to such great lengths to deliver the Vajra Pestle across time and space to him, a "descendant of the Shadow Realm"?

Now, the answer is revealed. Because, on this planet, he is very likely the only person capable of deciphering Ares technology!
A transmigrator who possesses cultivation experience of "Qi" from the world of "Under One Person" and knowledge of Qimen Dunjia derived from it, while also being intimately familiar with the plot of "Armor Hero".

There is only one place on Earth where Ares's cutting-edge technology can be obtained in its most complete form.

right here.

This Demon-Suppressing Tower, or rather... this Ares Star Destroyer disguised as a Demon-Suppressing Tower—the Afars!
The Gengnu Vajra Pestle is the controller and key to this super battleship!

Ba Dou took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and stepped into the metal passage.

The passageway descends, exuding a futuristic, technological feel.

Soon, he arrived at a spacious area.

This should be the bridge, or rather, the control room, of the USS Afas.

But... it's completely empty.

There were no flashing indicator lights, no complicated control panel, and not even a display screen.

There was only a lone, oddly shaped driver's seat placed in the very center.

"Oh? Mind control?"

Ba Dou raised an eyebrow, recalling the feeling that Geng Nu Vajra Pestle had given him before. The texture and energy circuit of that thing were more like the magical artifacts in "Under One Person" than a technological creation.

If this ship is the same...

He walked to the driver's seat and plopped down in it.

The chair is made of a special material that feels warm and smooth to the touch. The moment he sat down, it seemed to create a subtle resonance with his body.

Ba Dou closed his eyes and tried to slowly expel the cold "qi" from his body, while concentrating his mind and using his "intention" to communicate with the cold steel behemoth.

If this method doesn't work, he has a backup plan.

That means waking up Lu Fa in advance and then having a proper "deal" with him, since he currently has quite a few bargaining chips on his hands.

Of course, that's a last resort.

However, in the next second.

The vajra in his hand suddenly emitted a soft white light.

An irresistible suction force came, and his consciousness was instantly pulled out of his body and thrown into a boundless and strange space.

"Holy crap, this feels... like an interior scene?!"

Ba Dou's consciousness looked around and uttered a heartfelt sigh.

The feeling this space gave him was almost exactly the same as the "interior" in "Under One Person".

It is a world composed purely of spirit and consciousness.

A thought flashed through me.

[Access: Afas Database]

Instantly, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind like a waterfall.

Warship structural diagrams, weapon systems, energy cores, navigation logs... everything was presented in his consciousness in the most direct and primitive data form.

Whatever he wants to see, it will appear.

Whatever he wants to know, the answer will automatically appear.

"Awesome..."

Ba Dou's consciousness was practically grinning from ear to ear.

The control system and control equipment of this Afas may not be a physical entity at all!

It is a kind of existence similar to the "Heavenly Dao" in the world of "Under One Person"!

Something conceptual, composed of the souls of numerous living beings...

However, for a top civilization that possesses incredible technologies such as faster-than-light travel, time travel, and even the digitization of life genes, it doesn't seem too far-fetched to be able to create such a thing.

if it is like this……

That means that the technology of Planet Ares is indeed a superior alternative to the Under One Person system.

In other words, by utilizing the resources of a one-person world, it is indeed possible to complete the analysis of Ares technology...
