As the Golden Bell continued to resonate, rocks began to fall from the spaceship, crashing into the seabed and causing violent tremors. The entire water region churned intensely, akin to a massive earthquake.
In less than ten minutes, a part of a spaceship emitting a faint blue glow finally emerged. With large rocks falling away, the spaceship's size shrunk significantly, yet it still appeared enormous, with the exposed section stretching for several kilometers. The top of the spaceship was dotted with numerous metal pillars, from which currents of electricity flashed, making the entire ship resemble an electrified porcupine, deterring any living being from approaching.
The surface of the spaceship was incredibly smooth, composed entirely of a blue metal that showed no signs of wear or damage, as if it had just been manufactured. This blue metal, of unknown origin, remained remarkably sturdy and untouched by the passage of time.
Brandon speculated that the spaceship must have passed by here accidentally, but was brought down by the strong magnetic field emanating from the corpse of a giant god. The magnetic field from the corpse, over several millennia, was evidently very powerful, and at that time, the corpse had likely not fully petrified.
The spaceship had been submerged for an unknown number of years, its surface gradually covered by silt, which over time transformed into black sedimentary rock, deeply burying the spaceship in the sands of time. Only today did the spaceship reveal its original form.
The spaceship's hull was dotted with honeycomb-like holes, each large enough to accommodate Brandon's body. The purpose of these holes was unclear. Gazing at the highly futuristic spaceship, Brandon felt a bit at a loss.
From childhood to adulthood, from human to lizard, he had never encountered anything so advanced. Although this spaceship could be considered an antique, its technology clearly surpassed that of Earth's current era.
Brandon felt a surge of excitement looking at the spaceship, imagining the powerful weaponry it must possess. He could envision how formidable the dragons that fought Atlantis must have been.
The spaceship's surface showed no seams or signs of doors, appearing entirely sealed. The powerful currents striking Brandon's Golden Bell had no effect, instead seeming to invigorate the Golden Bell.
The Golden Bell pulsated, continuously absorbing the electrical energy, becoming increasingly solid. Its originally golden hue slowly turned a dark yellow. The Golden Bell's glow gradually faded, and if not for the swiftly moving runes on its surface, it would resemble an ordinary temple bell.

Observing the changes in the Golden Bell, Brandon felt more confident. The electricity had no effect on him. He hovered in the air, slowly approaching the holes.
Each hole had a diameter of about ten meters, emitting a faint purple light, seemingly capable of unleashing immense energy at any moment. As he gazed at these holes, Brandon felt a chill. Shaking his head to dispel this uneasy thought, he slowly floated towards one of the holes.
Brandon's massive body landed at the edge of the hole with a loud thud. The nearby metal showed slight signs of melting, as if powerful energy had passed through it. Advancing a few dozen meters, he saw a cluster of intense purple light ahead.
Brandon quickened his pace and found himself at the end of the hole. At the top of the cavity was a ten-meter-wide purple transparent crystal, glowing in the darkness. Brandon's eyes lit up, realizing this was a high-grade energy crystal.
From Brandon's knowledge, energy crystals were classified into low-grade (red), medium-grade (green), high-grade (purple), supreme-grade (multicolored), and energy essence (a cluster of white light).
Brandon had never seen a high-grade energy crystal before. He had only ever obtained two crystals: one supreme crystal, embedded in a sword hilt and later used to construct a magic array left in Serpent Valley, and one energy essence, kept in his lair. However, both were only the size of a quail egg, nowhere near as massive as this one.
Even though this was just a high-grade energy crystal, its immense size and beauty captivated Brandon, filling his eyes with a gleam. The spaceship had countless such holes, and if each contained a high-grade energy crystal, it would be an enormous treasure trove. Despite already possessing around a hundred Divine Power Crystals, Brandon couldn't help but feel a dry mouth and a racing heart.
Suddenly, a thought struck Brandon, causing him to shiver. He realized the true purpose of these holes. These crystals clearly weren't decorative; this was likely a massive energy emitter. The idea of having stood in the spaceship's energy cannon for so long made Brandon break out in a cold sweat.
Brandon slowly moved away from the hole, eyeing the honeycomb-like array of cannon ports with lingering fear. He didn't extract the high-grade energy crystals, reasoning that other creatures wouldn't venture here, and humans, with their current technology, couldn't approach the spaceship anyway. The powerful electrical currents surrounding the spaceship thwarted any human exploration.
Gazing at the spaceship, Brandon felt a powerful urge to possess it. If he could own the spaceship, he wouldn't need to engage in such short-sighted actions as taking the crystals. However, a significant problem loomed: he had no idea where the spaceship's entrance was. Without knowing the entry point, Brandon couldn't enter the spaceship, and without entering it, he couldn't control it. The spaceship would remain a mere exhibit.
Brandon also harbored a plan to visit Pluto upon reaching the great heaven level, to investigate what the dragon ancestors might have left there. With the spaceship, creatures like Skyler and the great beasts could accompany him, potentially uncovering traces of the dragon ancestors.
Brandon floated away from the hole, hovering in the sea, pondering. He looked up and noticed the massive metal pillars on the spaceship's back. Deciding to investigate, he floated upwards, approaching the towering metal pillars, each several hundred meters tall, resembling giant antennas. There were hundreds of these pillars.
