Chapter 130 Planetary Consciousness Beneath the Surface
In the end, curiosity overcame hesitation.
Ishikawa Akira found a volcano that had not erupted and prepared to go underground from the crater.
Above the crater, Ovette transformed into human size, in order to reduce the contact area between the magma and his body and reduce the loss of energy. Ovette's body was wrapped in four-color light, protecting his body, and he jumped into the magma.
A hot, sticky feeling enveloped him. The resistance in the magma was very great and his movements were restricted.
Fortunately, the skin of the Giant of Light has a natural resistance to heat energy, and with the four-color light leaping out of its body, it can still move in the magma.
Ovette plunged into the magma and entered the interior.
It is impossible to see in the magma, and telekinesis cannot completely penetrate this sticky and hot liquid, but it is still sufficient for short-distance exploration.
The sound of magma bubbles bursting kept ringing in his ears. It took more than two hours for Ishikawa Akira to truly enter the underground.
In a hot magma lake underground, Ovette's head suddenly popped out.
The body floated up and escaped from the magma.
"Strange, there is a strange breath of life here?" The reason why Ishikawa Akira stopped here was that he was attracted by this breath.
He flew in the direction of this vitality and soon came to an empty cave.
There is a huge platform in the center of the cave, on which lies a gilded egg. The egg is about twenty meters high. Strands of magma energy from all directions gather together and are absorbed by the egg.
Although the egg was wrapped in gold, the eggshell was translucent. Through the eggshell, Ishikawa Akira could see the egg white swaying inside, as well as several tiny heads wrapped in the egg white.
"A life born in the earth veins? Then it should be the guardian beast of this planet." Ovit nodded: "Since we have met, I will lend you a helping hand."
Yellow light flickered on Ovette's body, and rich earth power emanated from it.
"Use the power of my earth elements to draw the power of the earth veins!"
A large amount of earth power surged in from all directions. Ovette formed seals with his hands, and yellow hexagrams continued to appear, sealing the earth power around the dome.
In an instant, the power of the entire cave's earth veins increased significantly, and the birth time of the planet's guardian beast was greatly advanced.
The gilded giant dome trembled, as if to thank him.
Ishikawa Akira had just retracted the power of the earth element when suddenly, the confused spiritual consciousness from before came to him again and flew around Ovette's body.
Pure and incomparable happiness and joy emanated from this spiritual consciousness.
"You little guy, you finally came out." Ishikawa Akira gently stroked this consciousness. This consciousness was like a puppy, conveying a comfortable emotion.
After a while, the ignorant consciousness invited Ishikawa Akira to go deep into the magma. Ishikawa Akira naturally would not refuse. He followed the pace of this consciousness and went deeper into the ground.
Guided by his ignorant consciousness, Ishikawa Akira soon came to another cave. The cave also had a strong earth energy and a gilded egg in the center, but it was much smaller than the first cave.
"So, you want me to help this planet nurture its guardian beasts so that they can be born earlier." Ishikawa Akira understood the ignorant consciousness's thoughts and couldn't help laughing.
But he did not refuse. He performed the same operation as in the first cave. A large amount of earth vein power was drawn by him and poured into the cave.
Ishikawa Akira spent the next twenty days underground, and under the guidance of his ignorant consciousness, he sealed a large amount of earth vein power. After studying for this period of time, Ishikawa Akira found that these guardian beasts are mainly divided into four categories. Among them, the first egg he encountered, the monster bred in it, Ishikawa Akira has never been found in other eggs, which is considered a large category.
The other three categories all have eggs from different individuals.
In more than twenty days, Ishikawa Akira visited hundreds of caves and helped at least a hundred guardian beasts.
After walking out of the last cave, the confused spiritual consciousness did not take Ishikawa Akira to the next cave, but took Ishikawa Akira to a huge lava lake.
Above the lava lake, a huge ball of soft light was suspended there. The confused spiritual consciousness circled in the air and drilled into the ball of light.
"Sure enough, are you the will of the planet born from this planet?" Ishikawa Akira seemed to have expected it. When his ignorant consciousness took him to the caves where the guardian beasts were born, he had a guess.
As that confused consciousness entered the ball of light, the entire ball of light woke up.
A hazy white light emanated from the ball of light, shining on Ovette's body. His originally tired body now felt relaxed.
After sending out the white light, the white light ball once again conveyed a hint of thought to Ishikawa Akira.
This time, when his ignorant consciousness conveyed his thoughts, there was an obvious sense of pleading.
"What? You want me to sort out the earth, wind, water and fire power of this planet? You think too highly of me." Ishikawa Akira almost jumped up. The earth, wind, water and fire power in the outside world were extremely violent. It was simply a fantasy for the earth, wind, water and fire elements in his body to influence the entire planet.
"You help me sort it out? That won't work either!" The planetary consciousness sent another idea, but was rejected by Ishikawa Akira.
"To comb through the earth, wind, water, and fire forces of this planet, you need not only endurance, but also a strong physique to not collapse under the continuous combing." Ishikawa Akira pointed at himself and said, "I have neither endurance nor physical strength, so I'm afraid I can't help with this."
The planetary consciousness seemed not to understand what he meant and continued to beg him.
"Hey, hey, I really can't do it."
The consciousness of begging filled his mind, as if someone was holding a loudspeaker and recording the begging into the loudspeaker. Regardless of whether he accepted it or not, the sound of the loudspeaker continued to ring in his head.
"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you. I agree. Please stop chanting the spell." Ishikawa Akira covered his head and said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, the ball of light instantly withdrew its begging tone and turned it into simple and pure happiness and joy.
"I'm really scared of you." After accepting the proposal of the planetary consciousness, he developed a subtle sense of spiritual connection with the planetary consciousness.
Through this link, Ishikawa could understand simple ideas of the planet's consciousness even from a great distance.
Under the guidance of the planetary consciousness, Ishikawa Akira entered the lava lake again.
After going back and forth for more than ten times in the several passages in the lake, I finally returned to the ground through one of the passages.
This volcano is underwater.
Ovette's body jumped out of the crater and into the water, and the cool feeling instantly permeated his entire body.
"Sure enough, it's more comfortable on the ground!"
