Chapter 273: Chapter 271 The Rust-Stained Mechanical Mainbrain, Mother of Destiny! The Desperate Final Stage of Mechanical Ascension!

On the sixth day of the trial in the Underwater Mechanical Dragon Palace, Lin Tianming’s four-person team had practically explored the entire Dragon Palace.

As expected, Lin Tianming was certain that all four of them could probably advance to the final round.

Standing before a majestic statue in the Mechanical Dragon Palace, Lin Tianming couldn’t explain why, but he felt as if something was calling out to him.

[Is Brother Tianming sensing this statue? I’ve been here in my previous life, and I’m quite sure there is nothing special about this statue!]

[Perhaps Ming Jun thinks there is something special about this ordinary statue? I also investigated it in my past life and found nothing. The only hidden treasure of the Sea Emperor Festival is in the final round.]

Although Ye Qingxue and Lianghua both felt that the statue was very ordinary, Lin Tianming, who sensed a strong call, felt differently.

After careful sensing, Lin Tianming found that his body was automatically transforming into a Mechanical Body under the increasingly intense calling.

Moreover, the Thunder Demon Dragon Spear in his Storage Space also resonated slightly.

This reminded Lin Tianming that the material of the Thunder Demon Dragon Spear was also full of a mechanical feeling, quite different from ordinary Divine Artifacts.

It seemed that the Thunder Demon Dragon Spear was left by the Mechanical Ascension God from the great battle between the three Ascended Gods of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms.

Ye Qingxue and Lianghua were also showing disbelief upon discovering the resonance between Lin Tianming and the statue.

[Brother Tianming has actually resonated with this statue?]

[This is a resonance of Mechanical Ascension Power... Ming Jun has discovered an opportunity I didn’t find in my previous life!]

Meng Jiang was also stunned, not expecting Lin Tianming to resonate with the seemingly ordinary statue.

When the calling reached its peak, Lin Tianming turned into Mechanical Ascension Light and was directly sucked into the statue.

This scene immediately panicked Ye Qingxue, Lianghua, and Meng Jiang.

"Brother Tianming!"

"Ming Jun!"

"Brother Tianming!"

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming, who had entered the statue, arrived at a grand Mechanical Ascension Hall.

However, compared with the beautiful and dreamy outer Dragon Palace, the inside was filled with an indescribable eerie aura.

It was not Demonic Qi, but rather a deceitful and terrifying aura similar to that of the Deceit God!

The pillars, walls, ceiling, and various intricate instruments of the entire Mechanical Ascension Hall were covered with dreadful signs of corrosion and rust.

This was the first time Lin Tianming had witnessed the signs of decay indicating corrosion on objects from the Mechanical Ascension Civilization, and he was utterly shocked.

Why was the previous Mechanical Secret Realm still perfect as new despite its endless years, without any signs of decay?

A suffocating sense of despair and horror spread, extinguishing all grand hopes of aspiring to the Mechanical Ascension Civilization.

In this hall, which should have been sacred and magnificent, lay a huge Mechanical Thunder Dragon.

As a creation of the Mechanical Ascension Civilization, it should have had infinite Divine Power, but it was now, like everything around it, covered with horrifying signs of corrosion and rust.

Some parts of its Mechanical Body were so severely rusted that they looked as densely packed as a Hive, causing discomfort even to those without trypophobia.

A sensation of foreboding and filth spread upwards along the despair-ridden, rusty mechanical steps of the Hall, creeping towards the higher Sacred Mechanical Supreme Hall.

This scene of decay seemed to hint at the ultimate truth of Lin Tianming’s journey, who also possessed Mechanical Ascension Power.

The Thunder Demon Dragon Spear flew out, as if it were lamenting for the Mechanical Thunder Dragon that had long perished, trembling continuously.

Lin Tianming took hold of it slowly, as if the despair that even Mechanical Ascension could not escape was also transferred to him.

After hesitating, Lin Tianming bowed deeply and paid his respects to the Mechanical Thunder Dragon that had been dead for an unknown period of time.

As Lin Tianming showed his respects, the Thunder Demon Dragon Spear flew back into his Storage Space.

Looking at the steps behind the Mechanical Thunder Dragon that led to a higher Hall, Lin Tianming, who could not leave for the time being, could only take a deep breath and start climbing upwards in search of a way out.

"Despair..."

From the highest pedestal of the grand Mechanical Ascension Hall, a voice seemed to be heard.

"Sorrow..."

"This is the truth..."

"There is no hope to be seen; everything will fade into oblivion..."

As Lin Tianming continued to ascend, drawing ever closer to the supreme Mechanical Hall, that hopeless voice—sounding somewhere between human and mechanical—grew clearer and clearer.

"The Mechanical Ascension we desperately strive for cannot escape such a fate; then, what meaning does this pursuit hold?"

When Lin Tianming set foot in the grandiose Mechanical Ascension Hall within the Supreme Hall, he finally saw the source of that voice of despair.

The hall, once symbolizing sanctity and eternity, was now as decayed and dilapidated as the great hall below.

Rust and decay had corroded the place, leaving it in ruins. At the very end of the hall on a decrepit mechanical throne, sat a Mechanical Ascension God with half of the head liquefied by mechanical fluids, covered in rust spots.

Only half of the cheek had skin that still bore a striking resemblance to that of a normal human being, physically pristine and perfect.

From that half-intact face, it was clear that she must have been a beautiful Mechanical Ascension God before the rust took over.

"There is no hope here, only a terrifying truth, O successor..."

Hearing that voice, corroded as if by rust, Lin Tianming felt a tingle on his scalp.

The image of the Star Key Angel from the Genetic God Country turning into a deformed monster made of blood and flesh flashed through his mind.

Lin Tianming felt that the rust-covered Mechanical Ascension God before him was as horrifying as the Star Key Angel back then.

Why does both Genetic Ascension and Mechanical Ascension ultimately turn into bizarre and terrifying creatures?

Although Lin Tianming had yet to witness the dreadful conclusion of Spiritual Power Ascension, he guessed it was probably similar...

Noticing the deep corruption of the Mechanical Ascension God as she gazed at him, Lin Tianming instinctively thought to flee from this place.

"Don’t be afraid, successor, let me see your Thunder Demon Dragon Spear..."

As the Mechanical Ascension God spoke, the entire rust-strewn Mechanical Supreme Hall was enveloped in a disturbing and eerie Deceitful God Aura, blocking Lin Tianming’s escape route.

This creature had been completely transformed by the Deceit God Power!

Lin Tianming took a deep breath, and at the same time, his Thunder Demon Dragon Spear once again flew from his Storage Space into the rust-streaked hands of the Mechanical Ascension God.

"Still as sharp as before... Has that child also perished? I heard She was off to duel with the Star Key Angel from the Genetic God Country; I never expected that farewell would be forever..."

"But perhaps it’s for the best... At least She will not witness this desperate truth with Her own eyes..."

After muttering to herself for a moment, the Mechanical Ascension God returned the Thunder Demon Dragon Spear to Lin Tianming.

Lin Tianming repeatedly checked that his Thunder Demon Dragon Spear wasn’t corroded before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have seen the Mechanical Thunder Dragon in that great hall below, haven’t you?"

The Mechanical Ascension God’s decaying inquiry echoed, and after some hesitation, Lin Tianming nodded.

For some reason, he actually felt pity for this Mechanical Ascension God before him, like a lonely, elderly soul.

But isn’t Mechanical Ascension meant to forsake all emotions in favor of ultimate rationality?

Why can he feel her sadness, unwillingness, despair, and other negative emotions?

Could it be the influence of the Deceit God Power?

Before Lin Tianming could understand this issue, the Mechanical Ascension God’s voice rang out again.

"Your Thunder Demon Dragon Spear and that Mechanical Thunder Dragon once shared a common master, the Mechanical Sea God of my Mechanical Divine Country."

Hearing what the Mechanical Ascension God said, Lin Tianming suddenly understood why the Thunder Demon Dragon Spear had resonated earlier.

"Successor, do you have any questions you wish to ask me?"

Faced with the Mechanical Ascension God’s inquiry, Lin Tianming looked again at her eerie and terrifying rust-streaked body for a while before asking the question he most wanted to know.

"Who are you?"

It seemed that Lin Tianming’s question evoked memories of the past for her, as the Mechanical Ascension God sat in silence on the throne for a long while, her body covered in rust stains.

Just when Lin Tianming started to worry that perhaps he had asked something inappropriate, the Mechanical Ascension God finally answered his question.

"I am one of the original gods of the Mechanical Divine Country, the creator of the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny. A very long time ago, the people of the Mechanical Divine Country would respectfully call me the Mother of Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny..."
