Chapter 538 Regret, Surrender
Time flows like flowing water. Just as Xu Yang and Meng Cha are indulging in the warmth of the fusion of origins, feeling the unprecedented harmony and perfection of life and power——
In the cold and vast border of nothingness outside the primordial universe, two completely different cosmic barriers that both symbolize the highest power of the cosmic sea began to ripple at the same time.
In the mechanical universe.
This is the kingdom of absolute logic and cold metal!
Endless metal stars are moving safely in trajectories precise to the millimeter. In the universe, the huge energy nebula is bound in the pipe, surging inside, like the blood vessels of the universe, flowing with colorful light.
After losing the core territory of the original universe, the actual strength of the mechanical race did not lose much. Their unique pyramid-like master recognition structure determined from the beginning that the will of the Mechanical Father God was the will of the entire race.
What is different from other life groups is that as long as the Mechanical Father God does not break through, the strong mechanical people under his command will never have the opportunity to break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe!
The pyramid's master recognition authority is not slavery... After all, once soul slavery is planted, it cannot be transferred to others, while the mechanical race's master recognition authority can be transferred.
The Mechanical Father God would not allow a being with the same strength as himself to appear in the clan to divide the power.
At this moment, at the membrane of the small universe, the Father God of the Mechanical Clan is seeing off his children.
"Yaxing, my child." An oval shadow shrouded the Lord of Yaxing, as kind and honest as a father. "This trip is a little dangerous. I am glad that you are willing to go for your father. Although this matter is important, your safety is more important. You must judge the situation. Do you understand?"
The shadow fluctuated slightly, containing seemingly infinite love and worry.
The Lord of Yaxing, standing in the shadow, is a female humanoid mechanical body composed of countless precise silver modules, with smooth curves and emitting a cold luster.
When he heard the Mechanical Father's concern, the loyalty in his heart was instantly elevated to the highest priority, and his eyes brightened.
"Father God!"
The Lord of Yaxing was excited and determined. She bowed deeply and said, "Being able to share Father God's worries is the highest meaning of Yaxing's existence! Father God's will is the direction of Yaxing's progress! Please rest assured, Father God, Yaxing will act prudently and will never let Father God down for his trust and care."
The Mechanical Father regarded her with satisfaction.
Very good, this is exactly the executor he needs.
Yaxing is a member of the mechanical tribe whom he personally created and granted authority in his early days. She is also one of the oldest Lords of the Universe and has the deepest emotional attachment to him... It's a pity that Lord Yaxing has limited potential. In the countless years since he broke through to the Lord of the Universe, his strength has not improved at all.
This is also the reason why he chose the Lord of Yaxing this time... Of course, this can only be thought about in his mind, and he cannot use this excuse directly.
After all, loyalty is loyalty, but if you can't win people's hearts, the enthusiasm for action will be greatly reduced.
"Very well, my child."
The Mechanical Father's voice became softer, even with a hint of deliberately disguised fatigue, "We, the Mechanical Clan, have come to the crossroads of fate. The Heavenly Wolf Overlord of the Demon Clan has broken through to become a True God. That kind of power... both the original universe and the cosmic sea have been determined and completely rewritten. Continuing the meaningless confrontation will only consume the foundation of the clan and lead countless children to a meaningless end."
He paused, as if making an extremely difficult decision: "For the continuation of our race, for the future of countless children... we need to understand the attitude of the Heavenly Wolf True God. Is he willing to accept the peaceful coexistence of our mechanical race? Under his new order, can we retain the fire and space for development?"
"Your mission this time is to go to the demon tribe's territory and ask the demon tribe's high-ranking officials in person for an answer."
"Understand?"
"Remember, child, your safety comes first. Under any circumstances, if something goes wrong, I allow you to protect yourself."
"Yes! Father God!" Lord Yaxing answered like this, but he made up his mind in his heart that if something went wrong, he would not bring shame to Father God even at the cost of his life!
"Ya Xing will definitely live up to your trust! For the sake of our tribe! For the Father God!"
The oval shadow slowly receded and merged into the cold cosmic background.
The Lord of Yaxing stayed where he was for a moment, repeatedly reviewing the orders of his Father God, and then he transformed into a silver stream of light that was almost undetectable by conventional means, and silently passed through the barrier of the mechanical universe.
At the same time, at one of the three outposts specially set up by the demon race outside the mechanical race's universe, a red light suddenly flashed on the big screen.
"The main level fluctuations of the universe are detected entering and exiting this surface... The main level fluctuations of the universe are detected entering and exiting this surface..."
A cold electronic synthesized sound echoed in the outpost control room. On the huge screen, on the complex energy map representing the mechanical race's cosmic barrier, a glaring red dot clearly marked the location of the energy overflow and the intensity assessment - the Lord of the Universe level.
The control room was not empty.
Three beings of different shapes were sitting around a floating square table.
Their respective "pastime" was interrupted by sirens and flashing red lights.
The Crystal Clan Startalker who was temporarily transferred here tilted his head slightly. There was no expression on his face made of starlight, only a slight ripple of being disturbed: "Hmm? Should we intercept?"
The strong man of the Prison Clan stopped wiping the bone fragments, looked up at the screen, and his jaw opened and closed, making a rubbing sound: "Lord of the Universe... don't pay attention to it. The direction... um, is it heading towards the original universe?"
His soul fire jumped. "Record it in the background and send a message to the Zerg Queen at the same time."
drop!
"Recording completed."
"Target: The Master of the Mechanical Universe. Movement direction: The original universe. Energy characteristics: Hidden." The recording intelligence's voice without any emotion sounded, "Threat assessment: The threat level of the Master of a single universe is close to zero. There is no direct threat to the outpost."
Upon hearing this, the astropath waved his hand made of starlight gently, and the shrill alarm and the flashing red light disappeared instantly. The screen returned to the normal cosmic background energy map, leaving only a tiny, almost invisible mark to record the event that just happened.
"Got it." The Astropath said calmly, turning his attention back to his own business. "What kind of waves can the Mechanical Clan make now? It's nothing more than sending a representative to explore the way, or... offer their knees. Let them do it."
The Skeleton Observer made a few dry "ho ho" sounds, as if he was laughing: "Offer your knees? That depends on whether the True God Sirius is willing to step on you. The demon race nowadays, huh..." He shook his skull, no longer paying attention to the screen, and continued to wipe the black bone fragment attentively, as if that was the most important thing in the universe.
For them, the masters of the universe who were sent by the Eternal Kingdom to "assist" the demon race in monitoring the mechanical race, this was more like a routine matter with more form than meaning.
The demon race is now in its heyday, and the Heavenly Wolf God dominates the universe. Even their immediate superiors have to act with caution during the demon race celebration. The entry and exit of a mere mechanical race lord of the universe is not even a ripple in the face of the absolute power of the demon race.
Records are kept simply because the job requires it.
As for the follow-up? That was the demon race's own business. They just had to make sure the message was delivered. At the same time, the small universe of the True God of Ezhou was also rippled.
The difference is that he went out personally instead of sending his men. As a lone ranger, he didn't have any masters of the universe who could take on the responsibility.
……
The Lord of Yaxing of the Mechanical Clan carefully sneaked into the primitive universe and the territory of the Demon Clan.
She did not try to hide her tracks and was soon discovered by the demon patrol. She did not resist but immediately stated her purpose.
The leader of the patrol team was only a Universe Venerable and did not dare to neglect her. After reporting, she was quickly brought before one of the core high-ranking officials of the demon clan - the Lord of Devouring the Sky.
Facing this rising star, the Lord of Yaxing did not dare to act arrogantly, but directly conveyed the meaning of the Mechanical Father God: "On the orders of the Father God, on behalf of the Mechanical Clan, I would like to say hello to the great Heavenly Wolf True God and the Demon Clan."
"We are willing to establish friendship with the demon tribe and maintain everlasting friendship." Her attitude was respectful, but she spoke of surrender in a tactful way.
The core demand is the survival of the mechanical race.
After listening to this, the Lord of Devouring the Sky seemed to be thinking about something, but there was no expression on his face. He just nodded to show that he understood.
"I already know what the mechanical race is thinking. Let's wait and see until the master comes out of retreat, and then we will make the final decision."
He asked the demon general to take the Lord of Yaxing away for "proper placement", which was actually putting him under house arrest, waiting for Xu Yang's final decision.
For the demon clan today, it is expected that the mechanical clan would come and surrender... If they could still stubbornly continue to be hostile after seeing Xu Yang's power, that would really surprise them.
The Lord of Yaxing seemed to have something to say before leaving, but he paused, hesitant to speak, and followed the waiter down.
Almost at the same time, space somewhere in the original universe was forcibly torn apart.
The figure of the True God Erzhou stepped out. Although his aura was no longer as violent as it was in his heyday, the pressure of the strongest person in the universe was still there, but it was much more restrained, with fatigue and solemnity.
He did not hide his whereabouts and was soon intercepted by a patrol team led by the Demon Clan's Universe Master.
Facing the vigilant gaze of the powerful demon clan, True God Ezhou stopped, and the rolling black fog around him calmed down. He said in a low and direct voice: "I am Ezhou. I am not here for war, but to meet True God Tianlang."
The leading demon clan elder felt the other party's restrained power and clear intentions, so he did not dare to let his guard down and quickly reported it according to the procedure.
The news also quickly spread to the Lord of Devouring Heaven.
soon.
Facing the Sky Devouring Lord, True God Erzhou had a complicated expression, but the arrogance of the strongest man in the universe prevented him from being humble and begging for mercy to a Lord of the Universe... even if this Lord of the Universe was the teacher of True God Sirius.
He said in a deep voice: "The Heavenly Wolf True God has reached the pinnacle, and is respected by all the universe. I have no intention of trying to stop a chariot with my bare hands. I am here to let go of the past, submit to the demon clan, and listen to the Heavenly Wolf True God's command."
His words were very direct, much more straightforward than those of the Mechanical Clan's Lord Yaxing.
Faced with the True God of Ezhou, the strongest person in the universe who voluntarily came to surrender, the Lord of Devouring Heaven did not directly settle him like he did with the Lord of Yaxing.
He knew very well that matters between the strongest people in the universe would not be important enough for him to handle directly, even if he was the master's teacher.
"I understand what you mean." The Heaven Devouring Lord's tone was still calm, but more serious than when he faced the Yaxing Lord. "This matter is of great importance, and it is not for me to make a dictatorial decision. Come with me, and I will take you to see the Demon Ancestor."
"Thank you for the introduction, Lord of the Devouring Heaven." True God Erzhou replied in a deep voice. He had no objection. It would be more appropriate to go and see Zhen Yaozu than to stay here and negotiate with Lord of the Devouring Heaven. It would also better reflect the importance that the demon race attached to his identity.
The Heaven Devouring Lord nodded slightly and said no more. He stood up, the spatial laws around him flowed naturally, and he took a step forward and disappeared on the spot with the True God of Eternal Universe.
The next moment, they appeared in a completely different starry sky.
This is not a palace, but a strange place that seems to be in the abyss of the universe.
Under his feet was the flowing liquid black mist, and above his head was the rotating law star wheel, quiet and vast. In the core of this star field, on a huge star fragment engraved with solid secret patterns, a towering figure lay quietly.
The figure was shaped like a mole, covered with dark scales all over the body, and exuded a majestic pressure that had been accumulated over endless years. It was none other than one of the demon clan's mainstays - the Demon Ancestor.
When the Lord of Devouring Heaven and True God of Eternal Universe appeared, the eyes of Zhen Yao Zu slowly opened. They were a pair of huge eyes like lava stars, and the calm gaze swept over, but with a sense of depth and power that penetrated everything, instantly making the space of this star field seem to solidify a little.
His gaze lingered on the Lord of the Devouring Sky for a moment, and then fell on the True God Erzhou.
"Shock the Demon Ancestor." The Sky Devouring Lord bowed respectfully, "True God of the Eternal Universe has come to discuss reconciliation. This is a matter of great importance, so I am bringing him here."
The True God Ezhou felt the deep and solemn gaze of the Demon Ancestor Zhen, and the last trace of subtle discomfort in his heart due to surrender completely disappeared.
This is the one who can truly have an equal dialogue with him.
He collected his thoughts, took a step forward, and nodded slightly to the Demon Ancestor.
"Zhenjiao, long time no see."
The Demon Ancestor's huge lava eyes looked at him calmly without saying a word, but the invisible pressure made the space seem sticky.
True God Erzhou paused, and the surging black fog around him seemed to calm down a bit, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then he slowly spoke:
"I am not here today for him. The Heavenly Wolf God has reached the pinnacle, overwhelming the universe."
“Of course…” He changed the subject, his voice filled with regret and self-mockery, “Looking back at past grudges, I am not completely innocent. In the past, I was entangled with the human race, and I believed the words of… the demon beast ancestor.”
When mentioning the name "Ancestor of Demonic Beasts", the tone of the True God Erzhou became noticeably heavier, with a hint of anger.
"At that time, that fellow was very eloquent and was stirring up trouble. I... was not careful at the time and was deceived by him. In addition, I did have some interests with the human race at that time, so I did many things that were unfavorable to the demon race."
He raised his head, looked directly into the deep eyes of the Demon Ancestor, and said frankly: "This is my fault. I was blinded by ambition and false words, and failed to see the real situation, and I couldn't foresee the strength of the demon race today and the unparalleled power of the Heavenly Wolf True God."
"Thinking about it now, it's too late to regret." The voice of the True God of Ezhou became low, with a kind of fatigue and sobriety after going through twists and turns, "Then I also reflect on myself. Many things in the past were inappropriate. I came here today to put aside all past hatreds and sincerely submit to the demon clan." (End of this chapter)
