My train of thought was cut when the Darkest Sun said, "The Blue Suns say that it has been millions of years since the Thunder Domain was here on the Beyond, if this entire area is that old, then those creatures would long be dead, nothing can live beyond the passage of time. Not even immortals."
I find that sentence very hard to believe. Especially here, but I can't do shit about it anyway.
"We'll need to figure a way out," I said as I looked at the closed door ahead of us. Scenes from what we just watched flashed in front of me and I couldn't do anything but sigh.
"let's go back, we can't move forward," I said to them.
"Euh... as much as I would like that," Law said as he pointed back, "It seems like that's not going to be possible..."
The door we came from had closed off.
"What the fuck?" I cursed "Also weren't you all outside the room just a second ago?" I questioned.
They all looked at each other. And as if they just realized it.
"How did we walk inside?" Dao Shen asked.
"We never did," Zhang Tian replied, "The room itself moved past us and enclosed us in... also," he said as he pointed forward. I'm pretty sure that that door was closed a second ago."
Turning, it was the same door that the man in the recording said to not go through no matter what.
Fuck.
"Shen Bao," Zhang Tian spoke, "Could you explain everything that the man said? We didn't get the chance to understand some of what he had said. We can help if we pool our thoughts together."
I thought for a moment and said, "Sure, so it goes like this..."
Several minutes later, after explaining everything that happened on that man's planet and how they escaped to ultimately land here Zhang Tian sighed.
"I can't seem to fathom the despair they were in, but I can understand their actions. So, if they used Soul Power to control this metal, or what you call Soulsteel, would that mean that if we inject it with our own Soul Power it will morph? Can we not do that to open a pathway outside?"
I shook my head, "Though everyone in their world was able to do so, that doesn't mean we can. It would require a specific sequence, a frequency of sorts... better yet, it would probably require a cultivation method that only they know.
Perhaps it is the most basic of cultivation methods for them to control their soul energy, but for us who have no idea how to do so, it could spill doom for us if we act without thinking of the consequences."
"Shen Bao is right," Dao Shen said, "If we were to randomly inject the facility with soul energy, it might reject it, or worse it might consider us hostile. You have seen how volatile this vessel is. It isn't simply a bastion to protect it is also a deadly weapon. I guess we'll have no better choice but to proceed forward. Since we can't even retreat to the exit," he said.
"Just use your puppets to clear the path ahead, I believe in the words of the Blue Sun, nothing should remain alive after so long," the Darkest Sun who was borrowing the Fire Lord's mouth said.

"We've seen you use them, replication shouldn't be that hard," Zhang Tian said.
"Only use them in desperate situations, we'll conserve as much of our Qi as possible, since we don't know if we're alone or not," I said.
Strangely, there was no signs on the ground under us. The man in the last transmission had said that their Queen fought behind the door.
But there are no signs of battle. Well, as far as I can see, there is a lot of dust on the floor. And blood from tens of thousands of years ago should have already dried and disappeared.
But unlike the entrance where there were bones. There was nothing here. No human remains of cultivators who fought, no bodies, no clothes, or even remnants of them. Nothing.
We continued heading deeper and deeper into the passage until we arrived at a conjunction.
Three pathways plus the one we came from.
"Should we split up?" Law asked.
I turned to him with the, "Are you stupid?" look and said, "That's the best way to get yourself killed. Also, that's how people start dying in Sci-Fi movies," I said.
"Sky what?" Law questioned.
"Don't mind it, also, splitting up is pointless, we have no way to communicate with each other nor do we know the map. We have to choose one path and clear it, then go back and choose another, it is long, it is slow, but it is meticulous and safe."
"Then which path are we choosing?" The Fire King said.
"Law, which path would you like to go to?" I asked him.
"Hmm, I'd go right, I always like right passages in mazes," he said.
"Then right we go," I said.
The group was confused, and Dao Shen asked, "Why right? What's so special about it?" he asked.
"This guy, is like a Fortune Rat, very lucky, so If I have no way to find my path forward, I'd rather rely on his luck."
Dao Shen didn't seem too convinced but he didn't disagree after all no one really had any good reason to choose any other path.
"Since I chose right!" Law said, "Let me go in first. Hopefully we'll find some treasures," while he was speaking he seemed to have crashed into something and fell back.
He rubbed his nose saying, "Why the hell is there a damn wall here." He looked up and frowned, "Huh, there is nothing... what did I crash into..."
Before I could fully grasp what happened. The "Wall" began materializing and reformed into one of those creatures.
It was standing right in front of us.
