"Ah—!"
The twenty-first attempt to pull it out, but the dagger stuck in his heart remained unmoved.
"Damn it, I should have stabbed shallower back then," Gu Ya sighed. "It's like it's grown into the flesh; moving it still hurts."
"I did it without a second thought back then, didn't consider the mechanics or consequences."
"There was no choice. If I hadn't sealed the Xieshen Yiweng, I would have been killed by the Divergents."
Gu Ya’s consciousness ascended back to reality. He turned to Liang Yuwei and asked, "Master, are you done?"
Beside Liang Yuwei was his portable toolkit. He held a welding clamp and cell forceps, wearing a monocular magnifying visor, diligently welding a minuscule circuit board. He mumbled, "Hmm... not yet. The consciousness transfer instrument is too intricate. Three hours isn't enough."
Gu Ya felt a pang of impatience and asked Ning Yu, "Can you help?"
Ning Yu's complexion was extremely poor, ashen pale, her lips even a shade of white. She parted her mouth slightly and said, "Depression plus anemia. I don't want to move..."
No wonder Gu Ya had felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness within her body when he was in the Old Days Library.
So, this girl was sick.
"Ah... forget it, maybe moving a bit will help..." Ning Yu struggled to shift her body, turning the co-pilot seat backward. With great effort, she raised her hand, resting it on the makeshift workbench, and slowly said, "Tell me the principles..."
Gu Ya succinctly explained the principles of the consciousness transfer instrument.
After listening, Ning Yu tilted her head, fatigue coloring her voice, "Can you explain it in more detail? I don't quite understand..."
"It's very simple. Creating a mental communication channel, then the human brainwave frequency visualization module, followed by the virtual space imaging module, and then..." Gu Ya sounded a little impatient. These things were child's play to him.
But Ning Yu's expression remained blank as she stated, "Not everyone is as proficient in technology as you are! Even Divine Power Users have varying aptitudes for learning!"
Gu Ya paused. So not all Divine Power Users were like him, mastering one thing and excelling at all of them.
"What are the principles and components of this mental communication channel? Explain it bit by bit..." Ning Yu's face grew even paler. 138 Reading Network.
Liang Yuwei said earnestly, "Gu Ya, let me talk to her. Make me a 'Xu Jing 852214' type chip."
Ning Yu understood. A miniature square chip instantly materialized in her palm.
Liang Yuwei took the chip and began soldering the pins, saying as he worked, "Then the mental transmission device. There should be off-the-shelf products. This is often used in psychological therapy."
Ning Yu held her breath, her gaze fixed ahead. Her little finger moved with difficulty in front of her, likely searching the system store for corresponding items.
After a long while, a small cubic box materialized in her palm and she handed it to Liang Yuwei.
"Then the simulated brainwave light frequency integration..." Liang Yuwei said, glancing sideways.
Ning Yu had fainted.
Only her left hand, controlled by Gu Ya, was still impatiently tapping the armrest of the driver's seat.
Liang Yuwei spoke in a cold voice, "Gu Ya, she's still a young girl. Have some patience. Besides, Wuxian City has the instrument available. Why the rush?"
Gu Ya replied irritably, "Master, I'm anxious! This trip to the Old Days Sect was fruitless. The Black Star Empire is testing 'Haiyang,' and there are also the three major troubles of Hui Ye Technology, the Chong Li Sect, and the Yue Lan Base that need to be resolved. The most crucial thing is that I still haven't found a way to unseal my divine power."
"I want Ning Yu to enter my consciousness world and find a way to unseal it as soon as possible. Who knew she… she’s sick."
"I'm really anxious!"
"Bang!!"
Liang Yuwei slammed his fist onto the workbench and sternly reminded Gu Ya, "What's the use of complaining and being anxious? Problems still need to be solved one by one. We are all people who live with our heads on the line, fighting with the resolve to die. If you're anxious, can't I be?"
"But there are always setbacks. Did you reach where you are now smoothly? Didn't you always face immense difficulties and dangers, but you always pushed through and resolved them!"
"Remember what I asked you? Do you think you've lived a 'cool' life? You haven't! What good is having divine power? There are many things in this world that can restrain you and kill you!"
"Anxiety won't solve the threats to you."
Gu Ya sulked for a moment, then his heart gradually cleared, and he said calmly, "Master, you've scolded me awake."
Liang Yuwei continued installing the instrument, saying, "Black Star's 'Haiyang' is the top priority. The Yue Lan Base and Chong Li Sect can be put aside for a while. Once you recover your divine power, we'll go destroy it together."
"I believe Ning Yu and all of us will help you. Obtain intelligence, formulate tactics, adapt to circumstances, and strike at the heart of the matter. We absolutely cannot let 'Haiyang' come into existence."
"But there are always variables. The Black Star Empire also has individuals who can rival us, we just haven't met them yet."
"The future is still full of danger."
Gu Ya nodded, his inner gloom further lessened.
Since his transmigration, he had never complained. Every time he encountered difficulties, he had fought with all his might to resolve them.
But for some reason, after losing the Xieshen Yiweng, he had changed completely.
He felt useless, needing his friends to help with everything, feeling like he was dragging everyone down.
But fortunately, his friends never abandoned him and helped him without hesitation.
"Master, you've taught me a lot, not just knowledge, but also how to be a person. Thank you, Master," Gu Ya said calmly.
Simultaneously, Gu Ya silently vowed in his heart, this was his first and last complaint.
From now on, no matter what difficulties or dangers he encountered, he would face them head-on, confronting danger directly.
Just like the old man said in the mech bounty battle: "The dangers you will face in the future are thousands of times greater than this small bounty battle... Live as if you are already dead!"
"How much further to Xian Xia?" Gu Ya asked Liu Feng.
Liu Feng stared intently at the display screen ahead and said coldly, "Never mind how far it is, there's a problem to deal with now."
"Ten minutes ago, at 12 o'clock to our right, 420 kilometers away, three hundred and forty mechs have followed us, flying at a slight angle across our path. We expect to meet them in about half an hour."
As Ning Yu was facing away from the display screen, Gu Ya couldn't turn her head, nor could he see the radar on the screen.
Liu Feng continued, "Brother Shen and Xiao Jin Quan have already deployed to intercept. If it were an ordinary Black Star mech squadron, they could handle it."
Gu Ya said with slight concern, "I'm just worried we'll encounter a high-combat-effectiveness Black Star fleet."
Even if he released the Jin Lin mech from the Duomi space, Gu Ya couldn't pilot it now.
The Red Beast mech had lost an arm and was still tasked with transport.
The Ba Can mechs were providing reconnaissance for the Red Beast.
Even more disadvantageous was that Liang Yuwei's mech was left behind in the Old Days Library.
There was only one option left. Gu Ya said calmly, "Liu Feng, change direction and follow Shen Jing Ming. No matter their intentions, they must be eliminated."
"Understood!" Liu Feng readily agreed and used the comms to notify Shu Fei Zhang.
The Red Beast and the Ba Can mechs turned direction and sped towards the approaching enemy.
