Inside the Heavenly Demon base, the Deformed Shadow's entire Primordial Spirit power scattered, manipulating a large number of panels and metal, issuing various commands to the Heavenly Demon machines and mechanical kin. Zhou Bai thought to himself: 'The situation on Zuo Dao's side is not bad, but even with fast cultivation speed, relying solely on the human's own cultivation, they are still not strong enough.' In front of the Deformed Shadow, rows of neatly arranged armors shimmering with silver light stood together, forming phalanxes. A large number of octopus-like mechanical kin roamed around these mechanical armors, waving their tendrils, flashing with electric lights, continually repairing and maintaining them. These mechanical armors were prepared by Zhou Bai for Zuo Dao and other human kin. Updates are released by n0velfire.net Since the Foolishness Kin's points were upgraded with blue luck, Zhou Bai could freely choose which abilities shared with the Foolishness Kin, no longer randomly sharing abilities by chance. Therefore, he manufactured a large batch of mechanical kin shared with Tang Ruhai's ability to update and replace his mechanical army. The mechanical armor kin in front of him were also all shared with Tang Ruhai's ability, possessing Zhou Bai's Tang Ruhai defensive power. This meant that as long as Zuo Dao and his team wore these armors, they too would have Zhou Bai's Tang Ruhai defensive power. Additionally, there were tactical nuclear bombs sharing the ability of Calamity, and propulsion devices sharing the Acceleration Ability. And further enhanced, composed entirely of 108 mechanical kin sharing Tang Ruhai defensive power, the Void Crown 2.0. The external armor, all Tang Ruhai defensive power flying ships—the Starry Sky Throne 2.0. "Hehe, the next time my mechanical kin army appears, if the immortals and gods want to fight me, they'll have to break through my army first." Zhou Bai could already imagine the future, himself surrounded by mechanical kin, several kilometers around him as impenetrable as a copper wall, blocking the attacks of gods and immortals. Even his human kin would have overwhelming defensive power, each one capable of shielding him from a blade. "Now the biggest flaw in the mechanical kin is that I haven't been able to create my own communication network." Looking at the kin army in front of him, Zhou Bai thought to himself: 'I have to wait three more months to use the information from the Immortal Ascension Book to exchange for the Heavenly Demon's quantum communication technology. By then, I can build a fully autonomous mechanical army, not like now, completely controlled by the Heavenly Demon, even able to affect the mechanical kin.' At this moment, Em entered the factory, waved at Zhou Bai and said, "Brother! Today's experiment is about to start, the Queen is waiting for you." Zhou Bai walked towards Em: "Let's go." The two arrived at another laboratory, where a large number of monitoring devices and Heavenly Demons immediately began to thoroughly record the entire experimental process. After some preparations, Em directly opened a Void breach and then threw a music box-shaped 20th hexagram into it. Zhou Bai and Em both held the necklace, directly activating the power of the hexagram. The next moment, the scene before them shifted again, presenting various irrelevant past images. This continued more than twenty times, just when Zhou Bai thought today would end in failure as usual, a different scene finally appeared in the subsequent observation. It was an expanse of unending snowfields. Heavy snowflakes fell from the sky, and apart from the white that filled the heavens and earth, there was no other color to be seen. Zhou Bai watched the view before him constantly wobble, move, advance, seemingly looking out from someone's perspective. His heart trembled: "Another memory of someone? Is it the same person as last time?" The view advanced rapidly, leaping across the snowfields, until a towering black mountain, piercing the clouds, appeared ahead. From Zhou Bai's perspective, the peak seemed to connect with the sky itself, its height indiscernible. Zhou Bai exclaimed: "What is this mountain? Why is it so high?" The view continued towards the mountain, where a giant Stele appeared before Zhou Bai, inscribed with characters he could not understand. However, a male voice came from outside the scene, apparently the perspective owner's voice: "Blind Mountain...finally here." The man walked along the mountain path towards the summit, and through the changing view, Zhou Bai saw frozen corpses strewn along the mountain path, all with blindfolded eyes, seemingly blind in life. He also saw some corpses with half of their bodies already turned into dead wood. Zhou Bai suddenly realized, were all the trees along the mountain path transformed from corpses? Apart from the corpses, Zhou Bai occasionally saw blindfolded individuals prostrating and climbing the mountain, expressionless and numb. A moment later, a giant bronze gate appeared in the scene, blocking the mountain path entirely. The man approached the gate, and a strange face emerged from it, producing a thundering sound. The man's voice spoke again from outside the scene: "I am Ji Wufan of the Purple Cloud Palace, here to mend the heavens, humbly requesting a look at the Foolishness Scripture." The bronze face emitted an incomprehensible sound, and the man sighed, saying, "I am willing to offer the Heavenly Person Decay Technique from my Purple Cloud Palace in exchange. Now with the Void leak and the Heavenly Dao obscured, if we do not unite and pool our strength to plug the Void, I fear the world's end is near, please consider." Soon, the picture blurred, and Zhou Bai could only see a vague figure seemingly entering the bronze gate, then everything vanished. When Zhou Bai regained his senses, he was back in the Heavenly Demon's laboratory. He rubbed his forehead, analyzing what he had seen and heard, thinking to himself: "Is it the same person? Seems to talk about the Void affecting the Material World, could it be from the Qing Yun era? But did Earth from that era have such tall mountains?" Beside him, Em was excited, exclaiming: "Damn it, there's finally dialogue this time, not just scenery. I collected the Void Pulse signals, next time the chances of finding similar dialogue should be much higher." She then recounted what she saw, which matched Zhou Bai's experience perfectly. Her memory was even more vivid than Zhou Bai's, perfectly storing all the scenes and then uploading them to the Heavenly Demon's network, even allowing them to be replayed. Seeing the unknown characters and odd dialogue in the scene, the Heavenly Demon Queen's interest was immediately piqued. Zhou Bai asked: "What do these characters mean? What era and nation are they from?" The Heavenly Demon Queen remained silent for a long time, seemingly searching her database. Finally, she replied: "In my database...there are no matching characters. As for this scene's era, it may be older than we imagined, much older."
