The interior of the room was the same as the main control room of the crystallizers. There were many crystallizer machines, too. Han Sen suspected this was the case, so he wasn't surprised.
But in that room, which looked like a crystallizer building, Han Sen saw a person.
Han Sen didn't know if it was a living person, because there was a man inside a crystal jar. The jar was filled with liquid, and the man was suspended in the liquid.
He had short black hair, and he wore crystal armor. It looked like the geno armor Han Sen had received from Tina.
Aside from that, there was nothing special about the man. He looked like an ordinary human, and he didn't have the organs of a creature or spirit.
"Is this a human?"
Han Sen wasn't sure, so he used his Dongxuan Aura to scan the transparent jar. He couldn't see through the walls, so he couldn't tell if the man was dead or alive. He couldn't feel his presence, either.
Just as Han Sen was going to enter the jar, a voice came from the room. "The machine is malfunctioning. The God's Baptism cannot be completed. Please wait or return."
Han Sen looked up and down, but he couldn't see where the voice was coming from. Still, Han Sen guessed that it was a voice that belonged to a human brain. It wasn't the voice of a living creature.
Han Sen didn't leave, though. Things were developing in a way he hadn't expected, but it did give him a chance to learn more about the place.
Something must have happened there, and that was why the crystallizer machine was malfunctioning.
"If I'm guessing correctly, this crystal jar is the tool used for the God's Baptism."
Han Sen walked around the room and examined everything. Then, he looked at the crystal jar in deep thought.
Han Sen didn't know if the man in the crystal jar was a creature from the baptism, or if he was the controller of the room.
"What exactly happened here?
Why is this malfunctioning?
Is this man dead or alive? "Han Sen had many questions.
The room didn't look like it had been damaged. Aside from the man in the jar, there was nothing special about it.
"Successfully connected to the control room. A portal has been discovered. Do you wish to open it?"
The unicorn beetle symbol on Han Sen's palm lit up again, and a voice similar to the AI sounded.
"Open!" Han Sen was very happy. He was now sure that this was a crystallizer's territory.
"It looks like the sanctuaries are connected to the crystallizers. I wonder if the crystallizers discovered the sanctuaries first, or if they created the sanctuaries themselves," Han Sen thought to himself as he looked at the beetle's light.
A crystal wall slid open silently, and Han Sen looked out. He was shocked. There were still crystallizer buildings outside, but many of the machines were broken. Most of the buildings had collapsed, and it looked like a wasteland.
Han Sen walked around under the guidance of the beetle, but he couldn't see any complete equipment or buildings.
The whole place was as big as the Forbidden City, and the further away from the room Han Sen came from, the more damaged it was. That was the only room that was still intact.
Han Sen walked to the edge of the building and looked out. His face looked strange.
There was a starry sky outside, and it wasn't strange to see a starry sky there. The sanctuaries had a starry sky, too.
But the sky in the sanctuaries wasn't like the sky in the universe. It was full of planets, and no one knew what the sky in the sanctuaries was.
Han Sen stood there, and the sky he saw was the same as the sky in the Alliance. It was full of planets, and there was one that was close to him. It was so big that it made him feel depressed.
Han Sen's heart jumped. He flew up and looked at the crystallizer buildings from above. He noticed that the crystallizer buildings were built on top of an asteroid, and that asteroid was still floating through space.
Han Sen wasn't sure if he was in the Alliance or not. There were no planets around him that he didn't know.
Han Sen summoned the beetle, and when he entered it, he brought up the beetle's star map.
Han Sen was just going to give it a try, but he didn't expect it to actually work. The star map showed him where he was.
It was called the Ya Chuan System in the beetle's star map. There were seven or eight systems that extended in one direction, and Han Sen could see the systems that the Alliance occupied.
Han Sen thought about it, and he knew that this was a barren system that the Alliance hadn't explored yet. He was also sure that he was back in the Alliance's universe.
It was too far to return to the Alliance's system, and there were many magnetic fields and energy storms in the barren system. It would be troublesome to return to the Alliance from there. So, Han Sen decided to return to the meteorite.
After the beetle scanned the meteorite, Han Sen was able to tell that the meteorite was part of a planet. He didn't know why, but it had split.
The crystallizer buildings there must have been part of a large control room. That was all that was left.
Han Sen didn't find anything useful in the ruins, so he returned to the room. He looked at the man in the crystal jar.
The man's crystal armor was most likely geno armor. If that was the case, he wasn't the leader of the ten Son of God's. He wasn't there to receive the baptism.
"Who is he, then?
Does he control the people here?
Or is he an intruder? "Han Sen looked at the man with a complicated expression.
Because he didn't know if the man was dead or alive, Han Sen didn't dare open the jar.
People who had geno armor were dangerous. Han Sen wasn't sure if he could deal with the man. After all, he hadn't gone to the Fifth God's Sanctuary yet. He hadn't generated his own geno armor yet.
Although he could use one, Han Sen's body wasn't strong enough to use the full power of the geno armor.
While Han Sen was hesitating, he heard a katcha noise. It sounded as if something had broken. Then, Han Sen saw the crystal jar open.
The crystal jar was like a tree trunk, and the top half of it opened. The liquid inside was poking out of the crystal, but it was still cylindrical. It didn't come out of the jar.
Han Sen looked at the man in the jar with caution. As he wondered if he should leave, the man in the jar suddenly opened his eyes.
His black eyes met Han Sen's gaze, and it made Han Sen's heart jump.
