At this time, the strongest genius in the history of the Alliance was sleeping with Ji Yanran in his arms.
Ji Yanran didn't watch Han Sen's fight that day. Whenever Han Sen was involved, Ji Yanran would feel uneasy. She couldn't handle the pressure, so she waited outside the training center for Han Sen. When Han Sen announced his victory, Ji Yanran was finally able to relax.
Han Sen was exhausted the night before. It was already morning, but he was still fast asleep.
In space, there was no difference between day and night, so waking up early was pointless.
But Han Sen felt his face itch. He couldn't help but twitch his cheeks, but the itch didn't go away. Instead, his nose started to itch. Han Sen couldn't help but sneeze and wake up.
Then, he realized that a green, crystal-like rhinoceros beetle the size of a fist had crawled onto his face. Its claws were about to reach into his nostrils.
Han Sen grabbed the rhinoceros beetle and put it on his bed.
This unicorn beetle was the only one he had ever brought back from a Crystallizer ruin when he was still serving in the army.
Han Sen had been keeping it for a long time, but he hadn't noticed anything special about it. If there was something special about it, it would be that it didn't eat or drink, but it didn't die. It had been a few years, but it was still very healthy.
There was something strange about the rhinoceros beetle, though. Every time Han Sen left it for a long time, it would become lazy and its luster would dim.
But if Han Sen kept it around for a few days, it would be back to normal.
Han Sen didn't know what was going on, but he thought the rhinoceros beetle was something special. Exploring the crystallizer ruin was going to be very dangerous. Han Sen thought about it for a long time and decided to bring it along. He hoped it would be useful in the ruin.
Ji Yanran was still sleeping, and she looked very tired. Han Sen carefully pulled his arm out from under her neck. He didn't want to wake her up, so he went to get something to eat.
But then, he noticed that the rhinoceros beetle's green light was strange. Han Sen took a closer look, and he noticed that the rhinoceros beetle's body had gears that looked like watches, and they were slowly turning.
Han Sen was shocked. He had been keeping the rhinoceros beetle for a few years, but he had never seen anything like it.
Just as Han Sen was going to take a closer look at the rhinoceros beetle, an announcement came from the speakers.
"The ship has arrived at Planet APX-706. Landing is underway. Everyone, please gather in the meeting room."
Ji Yanran was woken up by the announcement. She stretched, revealing her beautiful body. Han Sen wanted to pull Ji Yanran back into the bed.
But now wasn't the time. He put on his clothes and went to the meeting room.
Han Sen put the rhinoceros beetle in his pocket. He wanted to check it out after the meeting.
In the meeting room, the shura and the Alliance were all there. The holographic projector was showing Han Sen the planet.
It was different from the crystallizer ruin Han Sen had been to before. It was a crystallizer planet, but this one looked normal. It was so normal that Han Sen wondered if there was a crystallizer ruin there.
On the surface of the planet, there was no trace of the crystallizers. The planet was full of green plants, and they were growing very well.
They were huge. There was no doubt that the planet's air was very high in oxygen. It was a planet that was suitable for human habitation.
Around the planet, there was an atmosphere that was similar to that of a planet inhabited by humans.
The ship shook a little, and then it broke through the planet's atmosphere and landed at a predetermined location.
The leaders of both sides told their members what to look out for, and then told them to go back and prepare. They would depart in three hours.
Because of Yu Tuoshan's injury, they were two days late. There was no time to waste.
Because they had done a lot of research, they knew this planet was suitable for human habitation. But still, they left the ship and went to their destination.
Inside the armor, Han Sen operated it with one hand and looked at the rhinoceros beetle with the other.
Ever since they landed on the planet, the rhinoceros beetle's organs started to spin faster and faster.
Han Sen didn't know what that meant, so he kept a close eye on the beetle.
Aside from the gears and organs spinning, nothing else was happening. Han Sen couldn't feel any lifeforce from the beetle, either. Han Sen was confused.
They soon arrived at their destination. Both sides had set up a base there. The people in the base reported the situation and took them to the entrance of the ruin.
Han Sen didn't expect to see a lot of crystallizer technology at the entrance, either.
In an open space that had been cleared of trees and plants, he saw a black crystal wheel about 20 meters in diameter embedded in the ground.
The black crystal was as black as ink, and it wasn't transparent at all. It was difficult to see through it, but there were many strange patterns on the wheel. They were the patterns of crystallizers.
There were many grooves on the black crystal wheel. It was like cutting a cake, and it was divided into twenty sections.
Four of the sections had warning signs, but Han Sen didn't know what they meant. Before they arrived, everything was confidential. Even the people who were going to participate in the project weren't told the details.
When Han Sen saw the black crystal plate, his heart jumped. He looked at it strangely.
The pattern on the black crystal wheel was very similar to the one on the back of the rhinoceros beetle. He had looked at the rhinoceros beetle for many years, and he was very familiar with the patterns. When he looked at them, the patterns matched Han Sen's memories. They were just magnified.
"What is the connection between them?" Han Sen thought. He put his hand into the pocket of the rhinoceros beetle.
When Han Sen touched the rhinoceros beetle, his face changed. He quickly pulled his hand out. There was a wound on his hand, and it was bleeding.
