Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce nodded in agreement: "Now that they've found me, I think we still have a chance of winning..."

"Moreover, I feel that all of this is somehow intricately connected to me... so I still believe that I have some chance of winning..."

Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

A giant tree on the side that the thunderbolt was pointing to said, "Your Highness, it should be just ahead."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er looked in the direction Da Lei was pointing.

Xiao Ce looked in the direction Da Lei was pointing.

There stood a huge black tree, so large that it could not be described simply as thick.

This enormous black tree is as thick as twenty people could hug.

That height is so high that you can't even look up and see the end of it.

The giant tree was entirely black; not only were its branches and trunk black, but even its twigs and leaves were black.

This is so dark, it's almost unnaturally dark.

"Is this a tree?" Yin Pan'er followed the gaze and, after a long while, gave her answer.

Xiao Ce smiled, then shook his head, smiled at Yin Pan'er, and said, "Obviously, it's not...it should be some kind of passage..."

As they approached, they thought they would see something, but finding the entrance would likely cause some trouble.

However, when they got closer, Xiao Ce was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

There is no other reason.

As Xiao Ce and his group approached, they saw a door next to the giant tree.

And that door was wide open.

Seeing this scene made both Da Lei and Yin Pan'er express their doubts.

"Your Highness, this...this can't be a trap, can it?"

After witnessing this scene, Xiao Ce noticed the tense expressions on the two people's faces.

Xiao Ce then said to the two men, "Don't be nervous, relax. Didn't they just say that the first door has already been opened for us..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er gave a bitter smile and then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you're right... I almost forgot about what happened earlier... They have many simple ways to kill us; there's no way they can use this trick."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's indeed the case."

"Let's go inside and take a look."

They walked down the giant tree. Actually, this secret room was similar to the basement passage where the director and his group were found.

After going down, there was a secret room, and a robot was waiting at the door.

This robot is the standard, the kind of robot Xiao Ce knew.

It's the traditional kind of robot, not the kind that follows the void or even the director and his team like a realistic robot.

"Hello, Xiao Ce."

Xiao Ce saw the traditional robot greet him, and its speech was very mechanical.

Da Lei had never seen anything like it before, but he was so nervous that he wanted to protect Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce smiled at Da Lei: "Don't be nervous, Da Lei. This is the first-generation robot that I told you about."

Compared to the tense atmosphere just now, Xiao Ce was not so nervous after seeing the robot.

Xiao Ce asked the traditional robot, "Are you the person who just messaged me?"

The traditional robot shook its head: "No, Mr. Xiao Ce, my name is Guangxin, and I am the general manager of Lost Island. I have been authorized to come and greet you."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded when he heard the traditional robot say this: "Guangxin? Okay, is this the control room for the entire Lost Island?"

The Guangxin robot nodded at Xiao Ce and then said, "That's right, that's exactly it!"

Before Xiao Ce could speak, the Guangxin robot said to him, "Mr. Xiao Ce, let me take you inside for a tour."

To be honest, the person who sent that message was really hostile.

Xiao Ce was quite unaccustomed to the robot named Guangxin being so polite to him.

Although he wasn't used to it, Xiao Ce naturally didn't say anything and simply nodded.

Xiao Ce followed the robot named Guangxin into the house.

This room contained a huge screen, unlike the small, secret room where the director and the others were.

This room truly provides a clear view of every corner of the island.

"So, you knew about what happened just now? That apocalyptic scene?"

Xiao Ce asked the robot named Guangxin.

Guangxin nodded to Xiao Ce and then said, "That's right, this Lost Island is my world. I can create anything here, and I can do anything."

Xiao Ce found Guangxin's words somewhat unbelievable.

Guangxin walked directly to a giant computer next to the big screen, where a software program was displayed.

After Guangxin opened the software, a map resembling a lost island appeared.

The robot quickly entered a command into the software, and the screen immediately switched to the director and Odin.

At this moment, they were all sitting scattered around, some chatting.

The weather was fine and sunny at the time, and then Guangxin typed in another piece of code on the computer.

Immediately afterwards, the originally sunny weather turned into a stormy day with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.

The sudden turn of events caused the people who had been resting scattered around to rush towards the secret chamber that led downwards.

However, the downpour came very suddenly, and in fact, they were not far from the entrance to the secret chamber.

However, they were drenched to the bone.

The robot directly input the first generation of code, and the weather started to clear up again.

Guangxin roughly followed Xiao Ce's instructions on how to do it.

Xiao Ce said to Guangxin, "So, if that tsunami had really hit us just now, we would have been doomed?"

Guangxin nodded: "That's right, that's exactly right. I can do everything here."

Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised after hearing Guangxin's words: "Then what is the point of having those secret room directors?"

Guangxin pointed to the side of the computer software where there was something that looked like a battery bar.

“Every operation I perform, every control I make, consumes the stored energy. Once this energy bar reaches zero, we can no longer operate.”

After listening to Guangxin's words, Xiao Ce saw the display bar on the screen, which looked like a battery bar, showing that there was only a little over 60% of energy left.

Guangxin continued to explain, "Furthermore, my authority is limited to the island. The other side controls the surrounding waters. The responsibilities are different, and they all use low-power systems. They aim to isolate the most people at the lowest cost, ensuring maximum safety here."

Xiao Ce asked Guangxin, "So you mean, your control over that area of ​​the sea outside?"

Guangxin nodded: "That's right, I only control this one island."

Xiao Ce asked curiously, "What's the situation outside?"

Guangxin said, "This is the security control system that emerged after our Lost Island was opened."

Xiao Ce nodded, then asked, "Is Lost Island a machine?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Guangxin fell into deep thought, then nodded: "You could say that."

Then Guangxin turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Xiao Ce, is there anything else you need to know about this place?"

After hearing Guangxin's words, Xiao Ce shook his head and then said to Guangxin, "No. What's the second floor here?"

Guangxin didn't hesitate and pushed against the wall in the room, creating another downward staircase.

Guangxin said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, you will need to go down there yourself. I cannot leave this area."

After hearing Guangxin's words, Xiao Ce nodded and then walked downstairs.

Yin Pan'er and Da Lei simply followed behind Xiao Ce, looking rather foolish.

Even though Xiao Ce had told them about it beforehand, they still found it hard to accept what they had witnessed.

The two men looked at Xiao Ce with surprise and said, "Your Highness, wasn't that person a deity? Wasn't he even more powerful than a deity?"

Xiao Ce smiled at the two men and said, "This area is a man-made area..."

Xiao Ce paused as he spoke, also sorting out his thoughts.

"You're right. In a sense, he's a deity here. Everything in this area is man-made, and he has the power to control everything. However, they are limited... Of course, it's also clear that what they manipulate is governed by rules..."

The two nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"If they opened this side, why did they close it?"

Seeing Da Lei's question, Xiao Ce smiled and replied, "It's actually quite simple. There are currently several forces..."

"The first force is the one claiming to be Xiao Ce's original owner. He controls many powers, such as those void robots, which are very powerful. And to control these robots, you might need the signal transmission from this signal tower on the island..."

"The second force is quite simple: the Blood Nether Pavilion. I previously thought the Blood Nether Pavilion was with the original owner, but now it's clear that's not the case. The Blood Nether Pavilion is also a very mysterious organization... Moreover, after all this time and with the information we've gathered, they seem to have found a way to control the robots."

"The third force is the base! That base is the one we know Uncle Wang's camp, Xiao Dingshan's side, and also the ones here..."

Da Lei asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, we know all this. But what about the Illuminati...which side are they on?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Clearly, they might have belonged to the original owner or the Blood Nether Pavilion. However, I think the Illuminati is far from being a faction to which they belong... They are merely pawns..."

"Now, aren't they part of our forces?"

As they spoke, they had reached the deepest part of the underground, where there was still a room.

The door to this room is actually no different from the secret room on the director's side.

Even the operating method is the same.

Xiao Ce began to operate the procedure with practiced ease.

As soon as the identification system was activated, another burst of green light enveloped Xiao Ce.

A mechanical surround sound came from all around.

"Identifying the person."

"Verifying identity."

"Verification passed."

With a click, the door opened automatically.

Just then, the dark room suddenly lit up.

This light has a very modern feel.

A virtual person appeared as a projection of light and shadow.

This virtual character is an old man, with a dignified and otherworldly appearance.

After the virtual old man appeared, he said to Xiao Ce, "Hello, Master."

After hearing the virtual old man's words, Xiao Ce asked with some surprise, "I am your master? What is your name?"

The virtual old man said to Xiao Ce, "Master, my name is Void. That's right, you are the master."

After hearing the virtual old man's words, Xiao Ce asked curiously, "Your name is Void?"

The virtual old man said, "Not bad, Master."

Xiao Ce, still puzzled and increasingly curious, asked the virtual old man, "So, why do you call me master?"

The virtual elder said to Xiao Ce, "Because you were able to successfully identify yourself. The system commands that anyone whose identity is successfully identified is the ultimate controller of the Star Network Hub System..."

After hearing the virtual elder's words, Xiao Ce immediately grasped the key point and asked, "Star Network Hub?"

The virtual old man said, "This is the place where you are, Master."

As he spoke, the virtual old man waved his hand, and an explanatory diagram appeared in front of him.

The virtual old man began to explain.

"This Star Network Hub is actually a space machine..."

At this moment, a square space appeared in the scene before the virtual old man. There was nothing in this space except for a stick-like object in the center.

The virtual elder pointed to the stick-like object: "This is the Star Network. It's responsible for releasing and sending signals. It's the natural signal source in this world."

"And this area we are in, this square area, is the spatial hub that you, Master, created!"

"Spatial hub? I created it?" Xiao Ce felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed at this moment.

The virtual elder nodded again: "That's right. The star network is like a signal tower for this planet. It can send signals not only to this planet, but also to other planets in the universe!"

The virtual old man paused for a moment: "Even other dimensions."
