Chapter 292 New World, Star Plate

Suddenly, the light spot in the center of the light column burst into a dazzling light, and a huge halo formed above the core of the artifact. The halo slowly rotated, emitting a shocking beauty.

The halo rotated faster and faster, and Gu Yang and his team members felt a strong attraction, as if something was calling them.

Their bodies were light, as if they had lost weight. Gradually, their toes left the ground and slowly rose into the air.

Gu Yang stretched out his hand and tried to touch the huge halo, but as soon as his fingers touched the edge of the halo, a powerful energy wave surged from the center of the halo, pushing him back.

His heartbeat accelerated, but he did not feel fear. Instead, he felt an inexplicable intimacy and warmth in this power.

The air around him began to vibrate, as if countless voices were whispering in his ears. Those voices were ancient and mysterious, full of wisdom and power.

Gu Yang closed his eyes and listened to these voices attentively. He could feel that these voices were messages from the stars and were precious treasures left to future generations by ancient civilizations.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the halo and hit the core of the artifact directly.

The core made a crisp sound, and then the entire altar began to vibrate, as if something was about to wake up.

Gu Yang opened his eyes and saw that the light on the core of the artifact became brighter and the halo became larger and larger until it covered the entire underground space.

A void crack appeared in the center of the halo, and the crack gradually expanded, eventually forming a huge light gate.

The team members were stunned. They looked at the wonders in front of them and couldn't believe that all this really happened.

Gu Yang's eyes flashed with excitement. He knew that this light gate might be the entrance to another world.

He turned his head to look at the team members, nodded, and signaled them to get ready.

Then, he took the lead and walked towards the light gate.

As he approached step by step, bursts of beautiful melodies came from the light gate. It was a communication beyond language, a dialogue between the stars.

Gu Yang took a deep breath, then took a decisive step and passed through the light gate.

His vision suddenly became bright, and a roar sounded in his ears. Then he felt that he was being attracted by a powerful force. His body was spinning at high speed, and the surrounding scene became blurred.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was standing in a strange place.

The sky here was deep blue, the stars were twinkling, and the ground was scattered with strange plants and crystal stones.

The land where Gu Yang stood seemed to be an unspoiled primitive world.

There was no cloud in the sky, only dense stars, which emitted soft light and reflected on the earth, forming a starry scene.

Under the starlight, strange plants grew in different postures. Some looked like ancient trees, with twisted branches and wide crowns, as if they could carry the entire starry sky; some looked like herbs, with leaves shining with metallic luster, bathing under the stars, emitting a faint fluorescence.

The stones on the ground were different from any mineral that Gu Yang was familiar with. They were crystal clear and seemed to contain liquid inside. With the sound of Gu Yang's footsteps, these stones swayed gently and made pleasant sounds, like natural musical instruments.

In this world, the air is fresh and pure, and every breath can feel the life force contained in the air.

Gu Yang took a deep breath and felt that his body seemed to be purified by the energy here, and every cell was beating happily.

He turned his head to look at the team members and found that they had also passed through the light gate and stood in this unknown land in shock.

Their eyes were full of curiosity and desire to explore, as if they had forgotten the way they came and just wanted to explore more mysteries in this mysterious world.

Gu Yang led the team, and they stepped onto this land carefully, fearing that they would destroy the tranquility and beauty here.

They walked through patches of grass illuminated by stars and through forests formed by star trees. Every step was full of novelty and surprise.

After walking for a long time, they came to an open area.

Here, huge star-shaped slabs were inlaid on the ground, with complex patterns engraved on them, which were strikingly similar to the patterns they saw on the star-shaped altar.

The star-shaped slabs emitted a faint blue light, as if the brightest stars in the night sky had landed on earth.

Gu Yang realized that these slabs might be some kind of guide for this world, and perhaps could lead them to discover more secrets.

He decided to let the team stay here for a while and study these star-shaped slabs carefully.

Just as they were about to observe carefully, a strange sound came from a distance, like the cry of some creature, or the sound of a flute blowing through a hollow cave.

The sound was melodious and mysterious, which aroused their vigilance.

Gu Yang signaled the team members to stay alert, and they held their equipment tightly, ready to meet any challenges that this new world might bring.

Their heartbeats accelerated, but the light in their eyes became more determined, because they knew that no matter what was waiting for them ahead, they were ready to face it.

Gu Yang took the lead, his eyes firm and curious, and stepped onto the road paved with star-shaped slabs.

The team members followed closely behind, their footsteps echoing clearly on the stone slabs, interweaving with the mysterious chirping sounds in the distance, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

They shuttled between the intricate star-shaped slabs, each of which seemed to contain some special meaning, but it was difficult to interpret what it was immediately.

Gu Yang stopped from time to time and leaned over to observe the patterns on the slabs, trying to find patterns and connections.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a special slab. Its pattern was much more complicated than the surrounding ones, and there seemed to be a star flashing in the center.

Gu Yang felt that this slab seemed different from the others. He carefully placed his hand on it, and the star pattern on the slab actually emitted a soft light as he touched it.

Faintly, a weak energy wave came from the slab, passing through his palm and flowing through his body.

Seeing this, the team members also tried to touch other slabs, but it seemed that they were not as profound as Gu Yang's experience.

Gu Yang realized that these slabs might be some kind of mechanism or inheritance, which required a specific method to activate.

They continued to move forward, following the guidance of the star-shaped slabs, and came to a huge circular square.

In the center of the square, there stood a towering stone pillar, on which were carved countless star maps and unknown words.

Gu Yang walked forward and carefully observed the patterns on the stone pillar, trying to interpret the meaning.

The team members were on guard around the square to ensure that they would not be threatened by any unexpected threats in this unknown world.

Just as Gu Yang was concentrating on studying the stone pillar, the mysterious chirping sounded again, clearer and closer than before.

He looked up and saw a shadow moving vaguely behind the Star Tree in the distance, as if a creature was approaching them.

He immediately signaled the team members to assemble, and they stood back to back in a circle, and everyone watched the movements around them nervously.

Gu Yang clenched the equipment in his hand, ready to meet the unknown creatures that might appear.

At this moment, several figures slowly walked out from behind the Star Tree. Their body shape was similar to that of humans, but their skin was light blue, and their eyes were large and bright, emitting starlight.

They held strange weapons, but did not show hostility, but looked at Gu Yang and his team with curiosity and scrutiny.

Gu Yang narrowed his eyes, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

He had seen these creatures in a memory before.

That was the appearance of a tribe of aboriginals before the invasion of the Nine Netherworld.

Gu Yang immediately realized that these creatures were the former aboriginals of the Nine Netherworld.

At this time, he did not know what attitude these aboriginals had towards the Nine Netherworld creatures, so he held his weapon tightly and signaled his team members to be on guard.

Gu Yang's heartbeat accelerated, and he knew this was a critical moment.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound peaceful and friendly.

"We come from afar and have no ill intentions." Gu Yang said slowly in the common language of the Nine Netherworld. He was not sure whether the aboriginals in front of him could understand.

A tall man among the aboriginals came out, his eyes fixed on Gu Yang, as if he was examining them.

After a while, he responded in a strange tone: "Are you travelers from the Star Gate?"

Gu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they could communicate. "Yes, we are explorers, hoping to understand this world."

The aboriginal man nodded, turned around and exchanged glances with his companions, then said to Gu Yang: "Since you said you have no ill intentions, then follow me."

Gu Yang's pupils suddenly shrank, and after hesitating for a moment, he still signaled the team members to put down their weapons and slowly move forward with the aboriginals.

Perhaps the tall man did not realize that Gu Yang actually had such courage, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But what he said before was not a lie to Gu Yang and others. Seeing that everyone followed him, he directly led them in a certain direction.

Along the way, no one spoke, and everyone remained silent.

Just like this, they walked silently all the way, and soon they passed through the Star Tree, and then through patches of star-dappled grass, and came to a circular building built of boulders.

There are complex star map carvings at the door of the building, which is obviously an important place.

Gu Yang and others looked sideways, full of curiosity and vigilance, wondering what would be inside this mysterious building.

"We're here." At this time, the tall man who led the way spoke.

Then, he walked in front and led everyone into the building.

The building was very simply decorated, with a fire pit paved with stones in the center and some stone benches placed around it.

The light here was very dim, but Gu Yang's eyes quickly adapted to the environment here.

The fire pit in the center emitted a faint light, and several aboriginals stood around the stone benches, their faces serious, staring at Gu Yang and his team vigilantly.

The tall man motioned Gu Yang and the team members to sit down, and he stood opposite the fire pit, looking directly at Gu Yang through the flickering flames.

After Gu Yang sat down, he looked around and found that the interior decoration of the building was simple, and the walls were also carved with star maps and mysterious texts, which were very similar to what they had seen on the star-shaped stone slabs before.

The tall man spoke, his voice was low and powerful: "I am the elder of this tribe, named Carl. How did you find this place? What is your purpose?"

Gu Yang stood up and faced Carl, saying calmly: "We are explorers from the outside world. We came here through a light gate. We are full of curiosity about this world and hope to understand the civilization and history here."

Carl was silent for a while, then nodded: "According to the prophecy of the ancestors, outsiders are qualified to learn our inheritance. But before that, you must pass our test."

Gu Yang and the team members looked at each other. They knew that in a strange world, it was necessary to accept the test.

Gu Yang replied: "We are willing to accept the test."

Carl turned around and picked up a strange object from a stone platform next to him. It was a seemingly ordinary stone plate, but its surface was engraved with a complex star map.

He placed the stone plate on the stone platform next to the fire pit, and then said to Gu Yang: "This is the star plate, which can test a person's wisdom and mind. Those of you who can unlock the secret of this star plate are qualified to participate in the inheritance."

Gu Yang stepped forward, stretched out his hand and touched the star plate. He could feel a weak energy fluctuation coming from it.

He knew that this was not an easy thing, but he also knew that this was the only way for them to move forward.

He took a deep breath and began to carefully observe the pattern on the star disk, trying to find the law.

The team members also gathered around, they knew that this test was related to their chance to continue exploring in this world.

Gu Yang's brows gradually frowned. The pattern on the star disk was intricate, and each star point seemed to have its special meaning, but it was very difficult to find the connection between them.

At the same time, the others also took a stone disk and began to analyze it alone.

Time passed little by little, and the flames in the fire pit danced, reflecting the focused faces of everyone.

Just when Gu Yang was about to give up, his finger accidentally touched a small convex point on the star disk, and the point suddenly lit up and emitted a faint blue light.

Gu Yang's heart moved, and he quickly found several corresponding points according to the star map in his memory, and pressed them down.

As he moved, the star points on the star disk gradually lit up, forming a complete star map.

Carl saw this scene and showed a surprised expression on his face. He didn't expect Gu Yang to solve the secret of the star disk so quickly.

Gu Yang stood up straight, looked at Carl, and waited for his response.

Carl stood up slowly, looked at Gu Yang deeply, and then announced loudly: "You passed the test, welcome to our world, foreigner."

Seeing this, Gu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look at the other team members. (End of this chapter)
