The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 686 - 679 Logic

Gao Yuan and Xinghe’s panic and astonishment were unmistakable, so the few people who came up could immediately understand that this was definitely not as simple as letting them see that Ram and Nate were unharmed.

If the light from before was the only clue and Gao Yuan and Xinghe had missed it, that would really be unforgivable.

Gao Yuan’s voice trembled as he said, "Did you remember when it lit up just now? You said it was a treasure map, so did you remember?"

Xinghe made a bitter face and replied, "I remembered, but, but it’s not a map, nor a set of instructions, it’s the Health Faction’s accusation, an accusation against the Eternals Faction. There weren’t any valuable clues; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so eager to close it."

"Was there anything else? Did it say anything else? Such an important clue couldn’t possibly be just an accusation of the Eternals Faction’s crimes, right? Wasn’t there any information like a location?"

After thinking it over, Xinghe nearly cried, then shook her head and said, "No, it only said that this is the key to opening the Ark, just that..."

Gao Yuan was dumbfounded, then he said in astonishment, "What does that even mean..."

"Wait a moment, please wait, I think I understand now, did you find the key to the Ark?"

The first to react was Yang Yi, and Gao Yuan immediately said, "Yes, the key is the Star of Fortune on Ram’s body, that Ruby, oh no, the Red Diamond. It was the diamond that lit up just now, but now it’s gone again."

Yang Yi raised his hand and whispered, "Excuse me, please."

The interior space of Mecha model 59 was too small. Grolyov stepped aside, Xiang Weiguo stepped aside, followed by the can opener Sirte, and then Gao Yuan. When Yang Yi made his way to the front of the Ark of the Covenant, he whispered, "Let me have a look."

Xinghe opened the medical cabin’s lid for the third time. Yang Yi glanced inside, looked down at Ram, pointed to the diamond on Ram’s neck, and asked, "This one?"

"Yes."

Yang Yi looked at Grolyov and asked, "How did Ram get the diamond?"

"He pried it from a statue, uh, it’s a complicated story to explain."

Due to the language barrier, Yang Yi had to ask around for information, and after getting the answers he needed, he immediately said, "No need for explanations, so the diamond just showed an abnormal reaction, but now it’s gone, right?"

Xinghe nodded right away, while Yang Yi, without hesitation, asked, "So what’s the difference between now and then? Any differences in conditions?"

"No, it’s just the same..."

Xinghe was obviously still confused, and her answer made Yang Yi frown.

As Yang Yi observed Ram, Xinghe hesitantly said, "Just now when I was inside the Mecha, I suddenly detected the signal of the Ark, but it was very weak..."

While Xinghe was explaining, Yang Yi suddenly pulled a knife from his waist, a very short dagger, and then without hesitation, he drew a cut across Ram’s chest.

With his left hand holding the Red Diamond and his right hand dragging the knife across Ram’s chest, when blood flowed out from the cut near Ram’s neck, Yang Yi placed the diamond into the blood.

The moment the diamond came into contact with the blood, it immediately emitted a red light.

Yang Yi smiled faintly, released his hand, and at that moment, the wall of the medical cabin slowly grew a spike. The spike moved to the wound on Ram’s body, began to absorb the fresh blood, and as it did, the small cut that Yang Yi had just made on Ram quickly healed.

The spike also drained the blood from the diamond and then re-injected it back into Ram’s body, and at that moment, the light from the diamond immediately vanished.

"That’s it, the diamond reacts when it comes into contact with blood. I think that’s one of the conditions for the reaction, but now we need to conduct another verification."

Everyone was stunned by Yang Yi’s actions, and as he spoke, he had sliced open his own finger inside the medical pod and pressed it against the diamond.

The red glow reemerged.

"Confirmed, it’s not just Ram’s blood that meets the condition, so..."

The medical pod drained the blood from the diamond, and the diamond’s light vanished again while Yang Yi looked at Gao Yuan; Gao Yuan immediately stretched out his hand.

Yang Yi cut once, then again, and another time, but Gao Yuan’s finger didn’t even mark.

Yang Yi looked at Gao Yuan, who whispered in a low voice, "Thick skin, use some force."

"Do it yourself."

"Can’t, I can’t bring myself to do it."

Yang Yi suddenly plunged the knife down, forcefully cutting Gao Yuan’s finger, and at last, a bit of blood seeped out.

Gao Yuan immediately pressed his finger against the diamond, but this time the diamond did not respond—no response at all.

Gao Yuan understood that the glowing of the diamond wasn’t unconditional, at least Celestial blood would elicit no reaction.

Yang Yi looked at Xinghe, who whispered, "No need to try anymore; Gao Yuan’s blood is like mine, filled with nanobots, a typical characteristic of the Eternals Faction, whereas the Health Faction doesn’t have this..."

Yang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Health Faction? Eternals Faction? Oh, I see."

Gao Yuan couldn’t help but ask, "You see what?"

"By looking beyond the surface to the essence, observing the phenomenon here, your reactions, then applying the phenomena to the two terms, it’s easy to conclude that the Ark is Celestial, but the Celestials are divided into two factions, namely the Eternals Faction and the Health Faction. Therefore, the Ark was hidden on Earth by the Health Faction, who didn’t want the Eternals Faction to find it. Since humans and Celestials share the same genetics, naturally, human blood can awaken the Health Faction’s legacy, a treasure that the enemy of the Health Faction, the Eternals Faction, cannot awaken. This is logical. Moreover, I’ve been thinking, if the Ark is the hope left to humanity by the Celestials, then why can’t it be found? The only reason is that it was intentionally hidden—not because they feared humans finding it, right?"

"Yes!"

Gao Yuan’s answer was brief, and then he gave Yang Yi a thumbs-up and said, "Impressive, you’re sharp."

Xinghe silently closed the lid of the medical pod, and Yang Yi pointed at it and said, "I want to test further to see if the diamond can still be activated outside of the medical pod. I think that activation doesn’t require the medical pod; otherwise, it won’t make logical sense."

"No need to test. It can be activated with just blood."

After speaking, Xinghe said in a low voice, "But we still don’t have the exact location of the Ark. Ram mentioned he found two more diamonds, where are they?"

Everyone looked at Grolyov, who paused for a moment and said, "One of them is with my daughter, and the other should be with Ailin—I’m not too sure."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "No need to look for the other two diamonds. I believe the Ark is at the location where the diamond was found; that’s the logical place. So, where was the diamond found?"

Gao Yuan said in a daze, "That place has been searched over and over..."

"It wouldn’t be a hiding spot if it could be easily found..."

After saying that, Yang Yi added in a serious tone, "So, what we have to do now is just to go to the place where the diamond was discovered. The Ark is there; that’s the only logical explanation."
