Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

Huang Quan finally calmed down her panic, but the redness on the tip of her ear had not faded yet. She subconsciously took half a step back, but was still not far from Lin Yu. The temperature on her fingertips still remained from the touch on her waist.

She looked at the expanding black shadow on the space wall, then looked at Lin Yu's hand pressing on the seal, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the star core?"

"Hmm." Lin Yu frowned, and could clearly feel the disorder in the core of the star.

The last time at the starting point of Akivelli, when he used the power of the two stars to bind and open up his destiny, he felt that the energy was a bit sluggish, but everything was going too smoothly at the time, and he was busy rushing to Luofu, so he actually forgot about looking for the tree of imaginary numbers.

Now that I think about it, my friends didn't remind him at the time, probably because they all thought he had a plan. Who knew he would make such a mistake?

"Using the power of the binary stars to gain the path to pioneering destiny seems to have destabilized the star core. Now, if I want to open the rift to the Tree of Illusionary Numbers, I need the stable power of the binary stars. But they are like loose powder kegs, and I'm afraid they will explode if I mobilize them even a little bit."

He clenched his fists in frustration, his knuckles turning white. "The last time I went to the Imaginary Tree, I was teleported there for no apparent reason. I don't even remember the exact coordinates. Going back now is unrealistic. He sealed off everything around it... I can't teleport away."

Huang Quan walked to his side, raised his hand and touched the seal on his wrist, and a faint energy resonance came from his fingertips.

Her red eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing the fluctuations of the star core. "I've heard before that the star core is essentially the energy of the young branches of the Imaginary Number Tree. Forcibly using it to bind destiny is like bending a living branch and tying it to a wall. It will repel the energy of destiny."

"Your pioneering destiny seems to have the ability to tear apart space, which just so happens to clash with the properties of the star core."

"What should we do then?" Lin Yu's voice was anxious.

The vibrations of the space wall became more and more frequent. The shadow of the giant stone hand could already clearly see the regular patterns between its fingers, and the speed at which energy seeped in was also getting faster and faster.

Huang Quan didn't answer immediately. She walked to the wall of space and gently drew an arc with her sword. The dark purple void energy condensed into a temporary barrier on the wall, temporarily blocking the penetration of regular energy.

When she turned back, her eyes were filled with a certainty. "Isn't there a root anchor in the abandoned branches of the Imaginary Tree? The anchor is connected to the world bubble in the quantum sea. The spatial energy of those fallen worlds may be able to neutralize the restlessness of the star core."

Lin Yu's eyes lit up. "You mean, first go to the anchor point of the abandoned branch, use space energy to stabilize the star core, and then open the crack of the tree of imaginary numbers?"

"Yeah." Huang Quan nodded. "The void space won't last long. We have to find the direction of the abandoned branches as soon as possible, but..." She paused, her eyes fell on Lin Yu's hand that had just been around her waist, and her ears turned red again.

"Don't touch my waist suddenly next time."

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and couldn't help laughing, "I know, I'll tell you in advance next time."

"Who asked you to tell me in advance..." Huang Quan turned his face away, but was not really angry. Instead, he took the initiative to walk in front, with the long sword leading the way, and the void energy drew a light purple light band in the darkness.

"Follow me closely. It's easy to get lost in the void. It will be troublesome if you bump into debris."

Lin Yu followed behind her, looking at her back, her clothes fluttering gently, and the anxiety in his heart also faded a little.

The vibration of the space wall continued, and the dark shadow of the giant stone hand was still smashing outside, but at this moment Lin Yu was no longer panicked.

With Huang Quan by his side and a clear goal, even if the core of the star becomes unstable, even if there are judges chasing him outside, it doesn't seem so scary.

"Oh right." Lin Yu suddenly remembered something and took two quick steps to catch up with Huang Quan. "Just now outside, you said you went to the abandoned branches. Do you know where the anchor point is?"

"I think I remember the direction." Huang Quan continued walking, his sword slicing through the floating imaginary dust in front of him. "There are a lot of debris from fallen worlds around the anchor point, which emits a light blue energy. The last time I was there, I saw a puppet of Boshizun there. It shouldn't be difficult to find."

"The...puppet of Master Boshi?" Lin Yu was stunned.

"It's the Black Tower." Huang Quan explained.

The figures of the two people gradually disappeared into the dark purple void space. Outside the space wall, the smashing of the giant stone statue's hands continued.

As long as we can find the root anchor point and stabilize the star core, we can go to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, find a way to fight against the Judge, and rescue Aha.

Lin Yu looked at Huang Quan's profile beside him, and saw her trying to find the direction seriously. Suddenly, he felt that the impulsive hug just now might not be a bad thing.

At least it made him more aware that no matter how big the difficulties he encountered, he was not alone.

...

"Are you okay?" Lin Yu quickened his pace, walked side by side with her, and gently touched her wrist. "The wear and tear of nothingness has had a significant impact on you. Do you want to rest for a while?"

Huang Quan paused, and the tips of his ears turned light red again, but he did not avoid his touch. He just retracted his wrist, and his voice was a little muffled.

"No need, we'll get there if we hold on for a while. The denser the dust, the closer we are to the branches. The light blue light from the anchor point can disperse the dust." As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and held the sword horizontally in front of her. The sword light instantly split a piece of debris flying towards her.

Lin Yu nodded, "Why would Heita go to the anchor point?" He remembered the conversation just now and couldn't help asking, "Doesn't she always stay in the space station? Why would she come to a place like this?"

“Who knows what she wants to do.”

"Last time, I happened to see her walking by with an experimental box, muttering things like, 'The materials for the Quantum Ocean are really hard to work with,' and 'This damn anchor point's energy is giving me a headache.' When she stopped to rest, she sighed at the anchor point's energy and said, 'This little bit of energy is enough to neutralize the raging star core.'"

"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, her words reminded me."

Lin Yu's heart moved. Aha pointed to the ground when he was imprisoned, the anchor point connected to the old world of the Quantum Sea, and the "energy neutralization star core" mentioned casually by the Black Tower. These clues were connected like beads.

He was about to ask again when he suddenly felt a burning sensation coming from the star core seal on his wrist.

Looking down, I saw a faint glow on the seal.

"The star core is reacting!" Lin Yu said, "Is it resonating with the energy of the anchor point?"

Huang Quan followed his gaze towards the seal, a flash of understanding flashing in his red eyes. "I've said it before, the star core is not a product of the Star God, but the energy of the young branches of the Imaginary Number Tree. The anchor point is an extension of the roots of the Imaginary Number Tree. They originally have the same origin."

"This resonance can temporarily stabilize the restlessness of the star core. Once we reach the anchor point, we can use the old spatial energy of the fallen world to neutralize it. Then we should be able to safely mobilize the power of the binary stars."

As he spoke, the pale blue light ahead grew brighter and brighter, the dust gradually thinned, and he could even see wreckage floating in the distance.

The broken planetary crust and the abandoned starship keel still have old regular patterns on the surface that have not completely disappeared.

"We're almost there!" Huang Quan quickened his pace, and the dark purple energy on the sword lit up again. It was obvious that he had regained some strength after seeing hope.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "crack" sound from the space wall behind them, which was more violent than any previous time. The imaginary mist under their feet trembled, and even a few silver-white energies seeped in through the cracks, and when they fell to the ground, they turned into tiny chains and spread towards them.

"The space wall can't hold on anymore!" Huang Quan's voice suddenly tensed up, and the sword turned in a circle in his palm, and dark purple void energy surged along the blade.

She knew that the anchor point was outside. If she continued to waste time, she would either be crushed by the energy of the rules or blocked inside by the giant hand of the stone statue, and she would not even have the chance to get close to the anchor point.

"The anchor point is in the meteorite belt outside. We must get out!"

Lin Yu immediately understood, raised his hand and held Cun Hu in front of him to block the silver-white chains that had already wrapped around his ankles.

"I'll help you stabilize the space!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Quan's sword slashed fiercely at the wall of space.

The dark purple blade light was like lightning tearing through the night sky, instantly opening a crack half a person's height. The cold light from the outside universe rushed in with stardust, carrying with it the unique metallic rust smell of meteorite debris.

"Let's go!" Huang Quan took the first step, but the moment he stepped out of the crack, his pupils suddenly contracted.

In the darkness before his eyes, a huge black shadow came crashing down with the sound of whistling wind. The knuckles with the texture of stone statues were more hideous than those seen before, and there were dark marks of corrosion by void energy between the fingers. It was the giant hand of the Judge!
