Chapter 274: Chapter 272: Tianming’s Agreement with the Mother of Destiny! Witness the True Mechanical Ascension for Her!

The rusty Mechanical Ascension God before him was actually the creator of the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny?

Mechanical Mainbrain, Mother of Destiny... Mother of Destiny...

"Successor, can you tell me about the world outside? I am trapped here and can’t leave, but I still want to hear about what happened to my Mechanical Divine Country after I left."

Upon hearing the question posed by the Mother of Destiny, Lin Tianming was quite surprised.

Does she not know about the self-imposed seclusion of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms?

Staring at Lin Tianming’s contemplative silence for a while, the Mother of Destiny’s voice, filled with rust and corrosion, once again echoed.

"I originally thought you were from my Mechanical Divine Country, but it seems that is not the case."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming’s heart skipped a beat.

She wouldn’t harm him just because he was not a person of the Mechanical Divine Country, would she?

"Although I have waited so long without seeing a true person of the Mechanical Divine Country, I still thank you for giving my deteriorating and shattered body a shred of solace in these fleeting days."

Feeling the Mother of Destiny’s emotions of loneliness, sorrow, sadness, despair, and other negative feelings, Lin Tianming didn’t know what to say.

She has been persevering with her corroded and rusty body, likely just to see someone from the Mechanical Divine Country again, right?

Finally, after eons of waiting, she encountered him, resonating with her Mechanical Ascension Power.

But he was not the person she most wanted to see.

This further deepened her pessimistic mood of seeing no hope at all...

All these negative emotions permeating the zenith of the Mechanical Supreme Hall were sincerely conveyed to him.

"Trapped in this hall full of rust and corrosion, I’ve lost track of time. I only remember that to buy my Mechanical Divine Country more time for self-imposed isolation, I chose to stay here..."

"Even though I steadfastly supported and guarded it, this once holy and majestic Mechanical Hall has ultimately become desecrated and unclean under the rust’s corrosion..."

"Those from the Mechanical Divine Country who stayed with me to buy time, have all undergone horrific mutations under this terrifying rust corrosion..."

"The eternal and indestructible Mechanical Body is breaking down, and despair along with fear were planted into everyone’s mechanical minds, spreading like a virus. Even for those with mechanical bodies that have long discarded emotions, they could not prevent the madness from shattering everything..."

"Our original intention in pursuing Mechanical Ascension was to discard the easily corrupted flesh and pursue the absolute rationality of supreme mechanical ascension, yet even that could not withstand corrosion. Were we wrong from the very beginning?"

The Mother of Destiny, who started talking to herself again, also revealed to Lin Tianming a terrifying truth.

The pursuit of the Mechanical Divine Country to discard all emotions and think with absolute rationality in the path of Mechanical Ascension still could not stop the erosion of the Deceit God’s power.

For those in mechanical bodies that deal with everything without emotional influence, the absolutely rational mechanical mind, once tainted by the Deceit God’s power, could also fall into a state of mental madness like the brain in a flesh body.

Absolute rationality did not bring redemption to the Mechanical Ascenders; instead, it caused them to fall into a self-destructive crisis of collapse.

It completely subverted the belief of "weakness of the flesh, the ascension of the machine" held by the people of the Mechanical Divine Country.

The reason they went a different way than the Genetic God Country and Spiritual Power Divine Country was the belief that Mechanical Ascension was the supreme path to eternal ascension.

Now, telling them that the so-called Mechanical Ascension is still a joke in the face of the Deceit God, how could they not collapse?

As Lin Tianming continued to reflect, he gradually understood the despair permeating the Mechanical Supreme Hall.

"There’s no hope here, only dreadful truth..."

Muttering the hopeless words of the Mother of Destiny, Lin Tianming subconsciously lowered his head, looking at his fully mechanized body.

He seemed to see his body covered with rust, eroding his body into disrepair, and planting madness, fear, loneliness, and sorrow into his mind.

Once these emotions are planted, for those with mechanical bodies, it is even more impossible to contend with these negative emotions, destroying everything in an irreversible manner.

The flesh body has not discarded all emotions and can even resist such negative emotions with its own willpower.

But for the mechanical body that has achieved absolute rationality, there is no such thing as will, it’s fundamentally unable to resist the planting of these emotions...

Recalling what Meng Xiyue, a Goddess Reincarnator, mentioned in her data – that in the future, when the Dark Great Horror strikes, the Mechanical Divine Country will not resist and will collectively betray as traitors – Lin Tianming suddenly understood the reason.

The current state of the Mechanical Divine Country has evolved to the point where the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny can upload everyone’s consciousness.

Everyone’s consciousness will be uploaded to a data space created by the Mechanical Mainbrain, to share and gather all the knowledge of the Mechanical Divine Country.

In this state, each person is the Mechanical Mainbrain, and the Mechanical Mainbrain is each person.

Once the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny is corrupted by the Deceit God Power, and hopelessness and fear are planted.

The collapse of the Mechanical Divine Country will be faster than that of the Genetic God Country and the Spiritual Power Divine Country!

In the future, when the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms and the Abandoned Land should unite in the critical moment to resist the Dark Great Horror, all Mechanical Gods will, at the moment of that supreme entity’s arrival, declare allegiance in a virus-like state of collapse.

Meng Xiyue, who is not of the Mechanical Divine Country, cannot understand, and ultimately dies miserably within infinite fear – is this the future?

Even enduring through an era of infinite darkness like Lilith did, one cannot escape an annihilated end.

The future... truly is despairing!

The voice of the Mother of Destiny echoed once again.

"Did we really make a mistake? Should we never have taken the path of Mechanical Ascension from the start?"

She seemed to be questioning herself, and also asking Lin Tianming.

Her condition was getting worse; rust corrosion had imperceptibly encroached upon her already heavily damaged Mechanical Body.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming’s pupils involuntarily narrowed.

Was he about to witness the demise of a Mechanical Ascension God under the corrosion of Deceit God Power?

"Should we have sought Genetic Ascension, or Spiritual Power Ascension? Or are all these paths mistaken?"

Listening to the Mother of Destiny’s self-doubting words, as if she could dissipate at any moment, Lin Tianming, resonating with her emotions, unconsciously began to walk towards her.

He slowly said, "Perhaps there was never a right path, nor a wrong one from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, the Mother of Destiny lifted her half-face, which was gradually being eroded by rust.

Before long, this half-face, which still showed traces of past beauty, would be riddled with holes due to the rust corrosion.

Watching Lin Tianming take the initiative to grasp her corroded, rust-spotted hand—a sight she herself found terrifying—and noticing that he was not at all eroded by the rust after coming into contact with her, her emotions of despair seemed to manifest a glimmer of hope at that moment.

"You’ve listened to my whispers, already tainted by the Deceit God Power, for so long and not a thing has happened to you. You resonate with my negative emotions but show no sign of rust corrosion; even touching my corroded Mechanical Body has done nothing..."

At these words, Lin Tianming as if awakened from a dream, realized he had dared to actively touch this rust-corroded Mother of Destiny.

What was he thinking just now?

Lin Tianming could not figure out how he had the audacity to act so recklessly.

Fortunately, his touching the Mother of Destiny had not resulted in any irreversible dire consequences.

"You’re right; perhaps there never was such a thing as right or wrong from the start. I just have not achieved true Mechanical Ascension..."

Prompted by the Mother of Destiny, Lin Tianming also recalled the profound-sounding words he had just uttered.

Had those words really come from him?

"Thank you for appearing, allowing me, who was mired in desperation and fear, to see the hope of Mechanical Ascension. Lastly, may I entrust you with a task?"

Hearing the request of the Mother of Destiny, Lin Tianming, always resonating with her emotions, nodded.

"I hope you can, on my behalf, witness the true Mechanical Ascension. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I hope you never give up hope. Can you do that?"

Feeling her contradictory emotions of despair and hope coexisting at the moment, Lin Tianming agreed to her request.

"Although I’m not sure if I can make it to the end, if I can, I will definitely take you to witness the true Mechanical Ascension in the future."

With Lin Tianming’s promise, he could clearly feel all her negative emotions dissipating at that moment.

Yet her wreckage of a Mechanical Body, still disintegrating into rust ash under the rust corrosion, steadily vanished before Lin Tianming’s eyes.

"Thank you, I look forward to the day of your true Mechanical Ascension, not the false ascension of our Mechanical Divine Country... Lastly, I wish you good luck..."

As Lin Tianming listened to the Mother of Destiny’s departing words, before she became totally extinguished, he also felt somewhat melancholic.

Just when he thought that the Mother of Destiny would be eroded by rust without leaving any trace of her existence, he heard something falling to the ground.

Looking closely, he realized it was a quarter of the Mother of Destiny’s face that still had an eye.

Even though the ground was full of rust corrosion, this quarter-face remained untainted.

Lin Tianming bent down and picked up the quarter-face, a lifelike piece of precision machinery.

Despite being precise machinery, it felt no different from human skin, showcasing the pinnacle achievements of Mechanical Ascension technology from the Mechanical Divine Country.

Moreover, Lin Tianming could feel the emotional resonance of the Mother of Destiny from this remaining quarter-face.

All her previous negative emotions had dissipated with the vanished rust ash, leaving only a faint sense of hope, nearly imperceptible.

Perhaps it was his promise to her that brought this last ray of hope, leaving behind this quarter-face?

Although temporarily puzzled by what exactly had left this quarter-face behind, Lin Tianming’s eyes were filled with determination; he would do his utmost to fulfill his promise to this Mechanical Ascension God who was engulfed in despair before her death.

He brought a final flash of hope to her in her despair.

If he could truly achieve Mechanical Ascension in the future, perhaps he could use this quarter-face to help her return to this world.

Witnessing that hope become reality in Mechanical Ascension!
