Chapter 2150: Major

The Jelly suddenly flattened on the ground, which made the voice coming from it even more comical. "How's that possible... Over twelve million years... No, that's only the time when my pod last communicated with the system. It might as well have been twenty million, thirty million, or even more!"

"Ahem," Rean tried to cheer Tanxan a little. "Well, that also shows your dedication to your equipment. Even after millions of years, it was still working. As expected of the leading researcher of the Dimensional Yin Yang Spaceship!"

Tanxan's jelly body then returned to normal. "Working fine? Then why it didn't stop the cryostasis?" Thinking about that, Tanxan moved to the Cryogenic Pod and began to check the information. Many holographic messages appeared one after another before Tanxan finally found his answer. "I see... the time input was made through the system, but it seems like the database responsible for it was suddenly deactivated. No, judging the state of this Chamber 13R, I guess the database has been damaged or destroyed."

Roan wasn't really in the mood to wait for Tanxan to recover, though. "Alright, what happened happened. There is a reason why we came here to wake you up. We need your help."

Tanxan turned around and looked at Roan. "Now that I think about it, just who the hell are you? How come you only came to release me now?"

Rean nodded. "I'll give you a full explanation." He then used a Divine Sense Message to explain everything that led to the exploration of the Ruins of the Stars. After all, it would take too long to speak it. "And that's how we ended here."

"This..." Tanxan didn't know what to say. "The Yin Yang Space Barrier was kept running all this time, so no one could enter until now. However, due to this war between the two higher realms, it seems to have been affected. That makes sense."

Roan narrowed his eyes. "Why? These two higher realms fight is happening really far away from this spaceship. Why did the spaceship open due to that?"

However, Tanxan shook his blobby head... or was it a head? Let's consider it so. "You seem to not understand how the Yin Yang Space Barrier works. It doesn't generate the Light and Dark Elements on its own. Instead, it draws them through a spatial displacement that covers an area tens of thousands of times bigger than the ship itself. Usually, in open space, these two elements are pretty much perfectly balanced."

He continued. "However, after this Heavens of yours began to fill the Underworld with Light Element, it also affected the balance in the rest of the Universe. It makes sense since these two realms are responsible for much of the land in existence. That caused the change in the Yin Yang Space Barrier, which obviously allowed your forces to enter this place. In fact, the entrance was supposed to be completely open. But I guess it has also been damaged, which explains why your backgrounds had to gather methods of harmonizing with it to get inside."

Rean and Roan were right in the end. They had guessed when they passed through the ring entrance that it wasn't supposed to have anything blocking the path.

Tanxan decided to leave it at that. "Whatever. I need to get back to Lingan and see what happened to my Universe."

Ran couldn't help but ask. "We heard from the system that the Bului Universe employed your Lingan Universe's service to move our Universe's Chaos Origin Source because their own was about to be extinguished. Is that true?"

Tanxan nodded. "That's correct. Obviously, it didn't work." He then changed his focus to the communication device. "System, report the causes of the damage in the ship."

-Error: Main Database Compromised. Information Request can't be fulfilled.-

"We tried that," Rean said. "But anything related to the time when this spaceship was evacuated seems to have been lost."

Tanxan narrowed his... eyes? "Even the main database was affected. It is found in the most secure location of the spaceship. Whatever attacked us at that time had to be extremely powerful. System, are any other survivors in the spaceship Cryogenic Pods? Ignore the life forms that have entered the ship in the last year."

-Pod 401349X was the only pod with life signals. The rest of the ship that can still be scanned has no life forms fulfilling the time request.-

"So I'm really alone in this shit..." After that, Tanxan basically made the same questions as the twins did about using this ship to return to its own Universe. Naturally, the system told him how the ship would most likely explode due to the damage to the Dimensional Thrusters. "How does it expect me to repair the Dimensional Thrusters? It would take thousands of years on my own. I don't even know how they work to start with. That's not my area."

Suddenly, Luan's eyes picked up movement. "Father, there are more of those robots coming!"

Rean and Roan immediately took out their weapons, ready to destroy the patrolling robots.

However, Tanxan left the room ahead of them, appearing in front of the patrolling robots. "Tanxan Tanxin, ID Number 07794513S. Deactivate Chamber 13R Defense System."

The robots immediately stopped as several lights began to scan the Jelly. After a breath moment, all the red lights around disappeared. In fact, all of the alarms and warning systems were completely turned off as a similar system voice echoed in the corridor.

-ID 07794513S confirmed. Major Tanxan Tanxin. Request Accepted. All Defense Systems turned OFF.-

The robots then turned around and began to make their way back from where they came from.

"Major?!" Rean's group was taken aback. "Aren't you a researcher?"

Tanxan looked back at them. "What? Can't a researcher have a high rank? My cultivation talent might not be that impressive, but my tactical intelligence is definitely one of the bests in the Lingan Universe... or I believe it still is today. It's just that I'm usually not needed for such things and especially because I prefer to use my time for my research work. Not to mention that all the crew of the Dimensional Yin Yang Spaceship has to be enlisted in the Lingan Universe Army. Civilians are not allowed to travel between Planes. Everyone here is... was a soldier."
