The summit of Mount Tianlu was not the location for the lighthouse.
Therefore, the only remaining possibility was the vast plains of the extreme north.
Given that Tang Houde left an image for the reincarnators to find him, it was unlikely he had already launched the lighthouse into the sky.
If that were the case, how would anyone find him?!
If Tang Houde didn't want to be found, he could have left no information at all. Why go through all this trouble?!
Moreover, if the lighthouse truly could accommodate a million people to live and work there, as described.
Then they wouldn't need to return to the ground, nor would they have gone to such lengths to summon the reincarnators.
The space station would have ample food and drink, and no need to worry about monster attacks. Wouldn't that be much more comfortable than the ground?!
Combining the analysis above, Zuo Nan still believed the lighthouse had not been launched.
And it must be in the ice fields of the extreme north, otherwise, his own life would be in great danger. kAnshu伍.ξà
A burden with no value... How would Zhang Chen treat him?
He would probably be left to die in the wilderness, which would be considered the most merciful punishment!
Thinking of this, Zuo Nan couldn't help but shiver.
Soon, the church members were all assembled.
Zuo Nan, as the team leader, led a small group responsible for technical research.
Zhang Chen and Xu Ruina, along with others, returned to the ground.
They were also curious about what the inside of the energy transmission terminal looked like.
Han Shuang and Fan Yiyi led dozens of elite members of the church, establishing defensive positions near the spire to prevent monster ambushes.
Actually, with Roid present, any monster with a modicum of intelligence would not willingly come to its death.
This was merely a precaution against unforeseen circumstances.
From Roid's back, the spire didn't seem very large.
But upon approaching, they realized the tower was also incredibly magnificent.
It stood seventy to eighty meters tall, with its base covering an area the size of a football field.
The exterior was clad in sturdy reinforced concrete, similar to the high walls of the walled cities.
It was protected by an energy grid.
There was a massive iron gate at the front, with reinforced automatic sentry turrets on both sides and above.
"I've dismantled this gate before, and it should be possible to open it from the outside!"
Zuo Nan volunteered again.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhang Chen waved his right hand, stopping Zuo Nan.
He saw lines of prompts appearing on the ground in front of the iron gate:
[Proximity mine, senses living beings within fifteen meters in front and behind, and immediately triggers an explosion!]
[Physical attacks and energy attacks cannot trigger the explosion!]
Just in front of the gate alone, there were hundreds of proximity mines.
Furthermore, the mines were covered by an energy grid.
This meant that if an energy attack was used, it would only cause energy to rebound, having no effect on them.
Even with Zuo Nan's strength as an advanced metamorph, he shouldn't sustain too much damage by walking over.
However, as they still needed him for research on the energy transmission terminal, it was best not to risk him for now.
Er Pang was still resting...
So, he had to do it himself!
Zhang Chen recalled the energy flow and construction method when he transformed his clone during his battle with the Singer...
Suddenly, he waved his right hand.
A person identical to him instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Wenwen and the others were stunned.
He could actually clone himself?
This... this was too powerful!
Xiao Guanghan shook his head as he watched, thinking to himself:
"I was too naive, why did I believe everything Zhang Chen said back then?"
"He even said he was just an ordinary person... What ordinary person could tame such a giant spider?"
"What ordinary person could casually produce a ton of fruit without a hint of change in their expression?"
"What ordinary person had explosive combat power, not to mention the ability to clone themselves..."
"And you said you weren't a god? If you claim to be an ordinary person again this time, I absolutely won't believe you!"
Zhang Chen's clone leaped forward lightly, his foot just touching the ground.
*Pfft!*
Suddenly, a blinding white light flared.
A scorching beam of energy shot up from the ground, engulfing Zhang Chen's clone up to his ears. It then shot twenty meters high into the sky, continuing for three to four seconds before stopping.
"There's a trap?!"
Zuo Nan exclaimed.
Although he was more than thirty meters away from Zhang Chen's clone, he could still feel the scorching heat of the energy burning his face!
To feel that hot from such a distance... If he were the one stepping on the trap now...
Even if he wasn't completely roasted, he would surely be scalded.
Thinking of this, Zuo Nan felt a chill of fear.
As for the members of the True God Cult, their fear and reverence were palpable.
"My god, there's such a terrifying trap here..."
"This temperature... it's terrifyingly formidable..."
"If it were me, I would probably be a charred husk by now..."
"You're lucky, if it were me, I'd already be ashes..."
However, Zhang Chen's clone, who had stepped on the trap, seemed completely unfazed.
The energy barrier around him prevented even his clothes from being scorched.
After discerning the lethality of the mines, Zhang Chen's clone suddenly accelerated.
With each jump, he precisely landed on a proximity mine.
Subsequently, hundreds of bright lights erupted, and the heatwave ignited the surrounding trees, which began to smolder.
A few cult members with ice abilities rushed forward to extinguish the flames.
*Bang bang bang!*
Zhang Chen's clone reached the gate and, with lightning speed, destroyed the defensive systems at the entrance.
"Phew, it's our turn now!"
"This gate, I'll..."
Zuo Nan intended to say that the gate would be his responsibility.
He wanted to show off his technical skill in breaching the gate of the Progressive faction from the outside.
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of metal tearing.
Then, with a loud bang.
The massive metal door was directly pulled off by Zhang Chen's clone and thrown aside like scrap metal.
*Pfft!*
Afterward, the clone vanished.
"Alright, there are no defensive weapons inside, and when the mines detonated, the energy barriers were also disarmed!"
Zhang Chen declared, leading Xu Ruina and the others inside.
Zuo Nan followed closely.
Upon entering, there was a sterilization chamber.
Further inside, they entered a spacious hall.
In the center stood a colossal cylindrical object that extended all the way to the spire.
Above the control panel was a glass window, offering a clear view into the interior of the cylindrical object.
It was empty, with nothing inside.
"The energy is transmitted from here?"
Zhang Chen asked, slightly surprised.
He had expected some advanced technological means, but now it seemed like a simple process of putting energy in and transmitting it, nothing particularly remarkable.
"Yes, but the energy being transmitted doesn't seem so simple!"
Xu Ruina pushed open a door on the side of the cylindrical body.
It was labeled 0835.
