Upon hearing this, Carl quickly corrected, "That wasn't solely achieved by Elsie, but rather the collective effort of the Salvationists. Elsie mentioned that relying solely on her own abilities isn't sufficient to accurately predict which lighthouses will be lit up and when. This is a highly complex and challenging predictive task, so all Salvationists must work together to ensure the accuracy of their predictions."
"So, how do they predict all of this? Is it impossible for humans to learn their techniques?" Haoyun asked curiously.
"It's stargazing techniques. This stargazing technique is an ancient heritage of the Salvationists' civilization. This ancient heritage endows the Salvationist clans with innate abilities to observe celestial phenomena and foresee the fate of all things. Later, as the Salvationists broke through their limitations and rapidly enhanced their abilities, their stargazing capabilities were greatly strengthened. This allowed the Salvationists to gain the ability to predict the movements of the Sibos based on their actions," Carl answered seriously.
After pausing for a moment, Carl continued, "Even with the help of stargazing techniques, the Salvationists can only make limited predictions about the movements of the Sibos. However, due to the fact that the Sibos' headquarters causes noticeable celestial changes in both outer space and Earth every time they transmit signals to Earth, and the Salvationists happen to have a keen ability to capture these celestial changes, they have the ability to predict the location of the next Sibo signal reception beforehand."
"That's why the Salvationists are constantly monitoring changes in celestial phenomena. Once the Salvationists detect a celestial change and predict the location of the next Sibo signal reception based on this change, they immediately notify the nearest main city to deploy a special task force there to observe and record the light pillar pattern formed after the lighthouse is lit up. Then, the Salvationists will meticulously analyze and calculate to attempt to decipher effective codes from these light pillar patterns. Finally, as long as we can combine all the cracked codes into a password, we have the opportunity to open the door to the Sibos' headquarters and directly execute a decapitation operation against the masterminds behind the Sibos' operations!" Carl's eyes shimmered with two bright rays full of hope.
"Are you sure that once you get that password, you can open the door to the Sibos' headquarters? And do you really think that destroying their headquarters will end the war on Earth?" Haoyun asked.
"The Salvationists have said that Earth NX is not the only planet suffering from Sibos invasion, nor is it the only planet receiving help from the Salvationists. Based on successful cases where the Salvationists have rescued other planets, they naturally believe that this is the best and only way to rescue us. Therefore, we need not worry too much. We just need to systematically collect data for the Salvationists! The Salvationists will once again break the Sibos' locks and rescue humanity from the clutches of the Sibos!" Carl replied confidently.
Looking at Carl's confident expression, Haoyun still felt that the Salvationists' plan was not thoroughly scrutinized, but he finally resisted further questioning. Leaving aside whether the Salvationists' plan was reasonable, Haoyun and his companions were actually very curious about what kind of unusual scenes the big chimneys would present after they were lit up? Everything had to be seen to be believed. Haoyun and his companions believed that only by seeing the scene where the Sibos received signals from outside the Earth could they judge whether the Salvationists' ideas were feasible, or even find some flaws related to the Salvationists or the Sibos.
Thinking of this, Dream Jia asked again, "By the way, Carl, Elsie just said that we are only one step away from cracking the Sibos' code?"
Carl replied, "That's right. Before we carried out the last mission, the Salvationists had already cracked six hundred and sixty-five valid codes collected from around the world based on observations of light pillars."
"Six hundred and sixty-five valid codes? That's a lot?!" Haoyun exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right. In order to crack open the gate to the Sibos' headquarters, we need to first decipher six hundred and sixty-six correct codes from the light beams emitted by the lighthouses, and then through the decryption of these six hundred and sixty-six codes, find the password to open that gate. However, because the lighthouses do not emit beams containing the correct codes every time they light up, we continue to expand our search range and collect as many light pattern data as possible so that the Salvationists can decipher the required codes. Ah! This is a very daunting task! You know, we spent more than ten thousand years, paying countless costs, just to finally collect six hundred and sixty-five codes! Now, we're just one code away! We really hope that we can be the generation that witnesses history!" Carl sighed emotionally.

Looking at Carl's hopeful eyes, Haoyun comforted him, "Hey! Carl, don't worry! It's just one code. As long as we can crack it, victory will be ours!"
But what Haoyun didn't expect was that after hearing his comfort, Carl smiled bitterly and said, "Hey! Brother Yun, you don't know! In the past ten thousand years, humanity has collected six hundred and sixty-six codes many times, and has cracked the final password from them. However, things are not as simple as we imagine. Because there is more than one lock on the gate to the Sibos' headquarters. And the passwords obtained by humans each time are only enough to randomly unlock one of the locks."
Carl then looked forward to the scene of opening the gate again, and a complex smile filled with expectation and revenge appeared on his face.
Seeing the smile on Carl's face, Haoyun and the others felt mixed emotions. They understood Carl's feelings well. After all, Carl was still very young, and humanity was on the verge of opening the gate to the headquarters of the Westerners. If Carl couldn't witness this historic moment in his lifetime, he would naturally feel regret.
Of course, aside from these questions, there was one more issue that concerned Haoyun and the others the most—if they could enter the Westerners' headquarters, would they find a way to leave this world?
"In short, the first thing we need to do now is to figure out what Carl said about the light pillar patterns, codes, and gate passwords. Since there are traces of divine technology on those Westerners, maybe we can find clues related to the Spirit God Realm from these things. In this way, perhaps we will have the ability to find a way to open that gate faster!" said Dao Lao after a quick thought in the private chat channel of the system.
Carl, seeing Haoyun's spirited expression, also raised his spirits and said, "That's right! Brother Yun is right! What's the use of thinking so much? Let's just do it!"
Watching Haoyun and Carl encouraging each other, Dao Lao skillfully took out a small piece of chocolate cake from Carl's backpack and placed it in an empty tin box prepared in advance. Then, he sighed and said as he ate the cake, "Ah! Time flies so fast! It's almost sunset again! I wonder what the Westerners will do tonight?"
"Hopefully, the Westerners won't launch another attack on Rena Tower tonight as the Salvationists predicted! After all, only they can stop the attack, and we have a chance to execute the lighthouse's mission. " Carl said.
"Ah! Let's hope the Westerners can be quieter tonight!" Haoyun patted Carl's shoulder.
In fact, Haoyun and the others had long been prepared. If the Westerners launched another attack on Rena Tower tonight, the three of them would continue to ambush the military facilities behind the Westerners. Moreover, this time, they would directly target the remaining Mother Ship's portal. Haoyun and his friends wanted to know if throwing a divine light bomb into the Westerners' portal would produce a little surprise?
As the clock in the main city struck, the last ray of sunshine on the grasslands was gone. With the black curtain descending again, the air on the grasslands outside Rena Tower Mountain once again became full of death. The defenders of Rena Tower City also re-entered their combat equipment, staring tightly at the Westerners' army, which had already turned on various lighting equipment in the distance.
Time passed unknowingly to midnight, and the slight wind gently blew across the war-torn grasslands, bringing with it rustling sounds and the lingering smell of gunpowder mixed with the fragrance of grass. However, tonight's grasslands no longer had the intense battlefield scenes of the previous night. Just as the Salvationists had predicted, the Westerners did not launch another attack tonight. According to the information sent back by the front reconnaissance team, the reason why the Westerners' army turned on lighting equipment was not because they were preparing to attack Rena Tower City but to illuminate the entire area where their troops were stationed as much as possible so that they could better defend themselves at night.
Since the Westerners invaded Earth NX, humans have never seen the Westerners not engage in any large-scale activities at night. Not to mention that they have already conducted a round of fighting, and the Westerners have completely locked the information particles on the target. Therefore, faced with such an abnormal change in the Westerners that has never occurred before, the defenders of Rena Tower City naturally dare not take it lightly. Therefore, the two sides faced each other across a large area of grassland all night, until the sun rose from the horizon again. Watching the earth gradually illuminated by the sun, the defenders of Rena Tower City relaxed, and after the giant stone that was pressing on their hearts also fell to the ground, they could not help but talk about the strange changes in the Westerners.
In the days that followed, the Westerners' army still did not launch an attack on Rena Tower City, and Rena Tower City gradually returned to its normal production and living conditions. Of course, the people who gradually returned to normal life were not relaxed. Because although the Westerners' army had stopped attacking, they were still stationed outside the Rena Tower Mountain Range, and there was no sign of withdrawal. This seems to mean that the sudden attack by the Westerners did not end completely because of the sudden suspension.
The Westerners obviously only chose to temporarily cease fire due to unknown forces attacks. Everyone believes that it will not take long for these Westerners to launch an attack on Rena Tower City again. So the people of Rena Tower City dare not be negligent, but instead, further increase the efficiency of strengthening defense works so that their defense lines will become even more solid when the Westerners launch another attack on Rena Tower City.
