Chapter 171 Warning, the Divine Pavilion is Devoured! Lin Fan: Unplug it!
Lin Fan's voice wasn't loud, and it had a lazy quality characteristic of Beijing accents.
But those words struck the hearts of everyone in the courtyard like a bolt from the blue.
Hey, newbie?
Who are you talking to?
Li Zhenguo, and the paleontology expert behind him who was pinching his companion's philtrum in an attempt to wake Academician Zhang, both subconsciously followed Lin Fan's gaze.
At the edge of the horizon, there was that strange building that was still emitting a faint light, as if it were alive.
An absurd and laughable thought arose simultaneously in both of their minds.
Is Mr. Lin talking to this "kitchen"?
The next second, the reaction of [Tiangong Kaiwufang] confirmed their absurd conjecture.
"Buzz—"
The huge light screen on the building's wall lit up again.
This time, there were no complicated words or patterns.
In the center of the light screen, only a huge scanning aperture full of futuristic feel appeared.
The aperture slowly moved downwards, sweeping across the Desolate Stone, which experts called an "ominous object."
"Sir! No!!"
The paleomaterials expert who witnessed this scene felt his soul leave his body!
He no longer cared about saving his companions, nor about the difference between superiors and inferiors.
He rushed to Lin Fan in one stride, spread his arms, and used his body to block the Stone of Annihilation.
The color drained from his face, leaving only extreme terror and urgency!
"Sir, stop! This thing really will devour everything! Your divine workshop, though wondrous, is still made of energy! Once locked by the laws of the Stone of Annihilation, it will be completely drained!!"
The old expert, who had spent his entire life studying supernatural matter, spoke in a sharp, hoarse voice, choked with fear.
He witnessed it firsthand.
An S-class fire-type ability user only got a little closer to the rock.
In an instant, the raging flames, powerful enough to melt steel, engulfed him and his entire body.
There were no screams, no struggles.
It just vanished into thin air.
It was as if an invisible hand had forcibly erased them from this world.
That scene was a nightmare he could never shake off for the rest of his life!
He absolutely could not stand by and watch Mr. Lin and this "divine workshop" that concerns the future of humanity suffer the same fate!
However, Lin Fan looked at his expression of being on high alert and ready to die a heroic death, and just scratched his head in confusion.
"Hey, old expert, what's all the excitement about?"
He reached out and, as if picking up a chick, gently lifted this national treasure-level academician, who held a prestigious position in China's scientific research community, aside.
"Is it really necessary to scan a code to verify the goods in my new kitchen?"
Lin Fan curled his lip, thinking the old man was making a fuss over nothing.
He thought to himself: My kitchen is equipped with Chaos Divine Thunder as an upgrade pack, the World Tree as an electrical wire, the Ancestral Dragon Soul as a battery, and I can even turn the universe into a pot. Why would I be afraid of a broken rock like yours?
What a joke.
Just as he was complaining, the scanning circle on the screen of [Tiangong Kaiwu Fang] stopped.
Lines of brand-new golden text, containing some supreme "Tao" and "principle," began to emerge rapidly.
[A special substance at the 'Law-level' has been detected...]
[Initiating root cause analysis...reverse engineering its cosmological model...]
[WARNING! The 'Return to Nothingness' Law has been detected! This law possesses 'End' attributes! Activate the highest level of protection protocol!]
[Analyzing...Analyzing...failed!]
[WARNING! This unit's energy circuit is being reverse-engineered by this substance! The unit's energy core is expected to be completely annihilated in 3.7 seconds!]
The text on the screen instantly turned a blinding blood red!
The purple-gold aura that had just stabilized in the entire [Tiangong Kaiwu Workshop] began to flicker violently!
A visible black aura, like pure "nothingness," emanated from the Stone of Annihilation, transforming into countless black tentacles that tightly coiled around the [Heavenly Craftsmanship Workshop]!
"It's over!!"
Upon seeing this, the paleontologist felt his vision go black, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
His face was ashen.
He's finished.
The hope of China is gone.
Ultimately, their ignorance led them to offend this forbidden and ominous creature!
Li Zhenguo's heart sank to the bottom in an instant!
He couldn't understand the words on the light screen, but he could clearly feel that the aura of that "divine workshop" was weakening at an alarming rate!
The black stone, on the other hand, resembled a terrifying beast that was feeding, emanating an increasingly evil and terrifying aura!
"Sir! We need to think of something quickly!"
Li Zhenguo was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his voice became distorted.
But Lin Fan remained calm and composed as he watched the catastrophic scene unfold before him.
He was even a little impatient.
"What's all the noise about? Making such a fuss over such a small thing, what kind of behavior is this?"
He glared at Li Zhenguo with annoyance.
Then, he slowly walked to the front of the [Tiangong Kaiwu Workshop], which was flashing violently as if it might go out at any moment.
He reached out and patted the cold, slightly trembling wall again.
"Hey, you newbie, what's up with you?"
His tone was as if he were scolding a brand new appliance that had just been bought and was already broken.
"How come you got bullied by a broken rock?"
"Didn't I tell you? Analyze it, don't let it analyze you!"
"Isn't that shameful?!"
"Did I go through all that trouble to create you just so you could be a decoration?"
"Quickly! Unplug it!"
Lin Fan's exasperated reprimand left Li Zhenguo and the experts standing nearby stunned.
Unplug...the power?
Sir, are you sure you're directing a shrine to fight against the "end times," and not having a child turn off the neighbor's main power switch?
However, before they could react...
That scene, which I had long taken for granted yet could never understand, unfolded.
"Buzz—!!!!"
The [Tiangong Kaiwu Workshop], which was about to be swallowed by the black aura, suddenly erupted with a violent roar after Lin Fan's "reprimand"!
There was not a trace of grievance in that roar, only an absolute and enraged majesty!
next second.
It had just been upgraded, and the purple-gold energy circuit, infused with the power of chaotic divine lightning, was instantly pushed to its limit!
In the unfathomable [Furnace of All Things], the "Chaos Creation Pot" that had just been used and had not yet cooled down suddenly trembled!
A "creational force" more domineering and unreasonable than ever before, mixed with the will of "creating the world," surged out of the furnace!
This force did not attack the Stone of Annihilation.
Instead, it was directly poured into the [Tiangong Kaiwu Workshop] itself, into the "highest authority" that Lin Fan had created with a single slap!
On the light screen, the blood-red warning disappeared instantly!
Instead, a line of golden light flashed, filled with contempt and domineering declaration!
【"Highest Authority Command" activated!】
[Command: Do it!]
[Redefining the priority of 'rules'...Definition successful!]
[The "Law of Return to Nothingness" is classified as a low-level subordinate law!]
[Starting final parsing...]
"boom--!!!"
An invisible, supreme principle that transcends time, space, cause and effect, and destiny erupted from the [Tiangong Kaiwu Workshop]!
The black "void" tentacles that entangled the workshop melted away instantly, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, before this "reason"!
The "Stone of Annihilation" seemed to sense the deadly fear as well!
Its ugly gray surface began to tremble violently!
It wanted to escape!
But it was too late!
An invisible light composed of pure "reason" instantly enveloped it!
next second.
On the light screen, the final information about this stone was completely analyzed!
[Analysis complete!]
【Item Name: Cosmic Tomb (Remains)】
[True Composition: The final tomb formed by the condensation of all concepts and laws of a Level 1 universe that failed to achieve creation and returned to annihilation.]
[Core Law: Absolute 'nothingness,' absolute 'stillness.' It can devour, assimilate, and 'annihilate' all energy, matter, and even 'concepts' below its original dimension.]
[Value assessment: Incalculable.]
[Suggested solutions: 1. Reignite it, reverse its annihilation, and evolve it into a completely new universe (success rate: 0.00001%). 2. Use it as a 'final weapon' to completely erase a galaxy from a causal perspective. 3. ...]
When this series of messages appeared, enough to drive even the gods mad with fear.
In the courtyard, apart from Lin Fan, everyone who could "understand" its meaning was completely numb.
The...grave of the universe?
A failed...universe?
Erasing...galaxies?
These words were completely beyond their cognitive limits.
They felt like paper figures living in a two-dimensional world, suddenly told that the "paper" beneath their feet was just a page from a three-dimensional comic book.
The shock of having their worldview shattered and reshaped left them unable to even feel "shock".
They just stared blankly.
Lin Fan frowned impatiently as he looked at the pile of technical terms on the screen that he neither understood nor cared to look at.
He walked to the control panel, faced the light screen, and once again raised that most basic yet most crucial question.
Stop with all this useless stuff!
"I'm asking you, what exactly can this thing do?!"
The light screen flickered.
He seemed quite helpless about his unconventional new boss.
All complex information has been hidden.
The light screen provided the final summary in the simplest and most straightforward way.
[Summary: This item can absorb and 'annihilate' all heat and energy.]
[Application suggestion: It could be modified into a unit that requires no power supply and can achieve a cooling effect of 'absolute zero'...]
【……refrigerator.】
When the word "refrigerator" appears.
The entire courtyard fell into a silence even more deathly still than "annihilation".
Li Zhenguo, along with the two experts—one who had just woken up and the other who had just collapsed—stared intently at the light screen as if they were looking at alien creatures.
Their brains completely shut down.
Lin Fan's eyes lit up the moment he saw the word "refrigerator"!
refrigerator!
Yup!
This thing can absorb heat, so isn't that what cooling is?!
No electricity needed! All-natural, pollution-free, green and energy-saving!
The cooling effect can even reach absolute zero?!
Imagine how refreshing it would be to use it to chill watermelon and beer in the summer!
"Great! This is good stuff!"
Lin Fan slapped his thigh, a genuine and satisfied smile spreading across his face.
He felt that Li Zhenguo had finally given him a decent and practical gift this time.
He turned his head and gave Li Zhenguo, who was almost turned into a stone statue, an approving smile.
"Xiao Li, I'm very satisfied with the refrigerator raw materials you sent this time..."
"Please tell the country for me to thank them later."
Then, he ignored those few mortals who were completely dumbfounded.
He walked to the "Cosmic Tomb" that had been suppressed by the "Divine Workshop" and dared not move.
He gave the [Tiangong Kaiwu Workshop] his second instruction as the boss, an instruction full of pragmatism and a touch of everyday life.
"Alright, it's settled then!"
"Make me one just like the double-door refrigerator in my house!"
"Remember! It needs to be big! It needs to be able to hold a lot!"
"Oh, right, we also need to add a fully automatic ice-making function!"
