Chapter 181 - Civilization Mecha


Chapter 181: Civilization Mecha

“When did you discover that something was not quite right?” Freedom Immortal Emperor’s voice sounded again, firmly and solemnly, without a trace of banter.

At this moment, Lyu Liang was still inside the fortress. Hearing his words, he looked up at Freedom Immortal Emperor, who was sitting in front of him. With tear stains and a wry smile on his face, he shook his head and said, “I thought all of these were real, until I saw my friends coming out of the relic. Then, I knew that everything was just an illusion.”

“Then why did you keep going on?” Freedom Immortal Emperor asked a second question.

Lyu Liang lifted his head and replied softly, “Because I wanted to see how much I could do in the illusion. And, I wanted to realize my ultimate dream, which is to lead an idyllic life with Ying’er.”

“You are such a pure and unambitious man! It is indeed my great fortune to have you as my successor! Now, as the dominator of the seal, I solemnly declare that you have the qualification to use the Civilization Mecha!” Freedom Immortal Emperor’s eyes lit up, and there were both gratification and relief in his tone.

Lyu Liang was stunned, and then he asked, “So I can operate the Heaven Prestige Fortress now?”

Freedom Immortal Emperor did not answer Lyu Liang’s question. Instead, he closed his eyes and said softly, “Let me tell you a story first. This is something you should know, as an inheritor of the Civilization Mecha.”

“Once upon a time, there was an absolutely dominant world. The cultivators there, did not only have superior cultivation and magic treasures, but also an advanced civilization that was incomparable among all the other worlds. At that time, this world was called ‘the Space of Pan Gu’.”

“The Heaven Prestige Fortress and the enormous warships in the video, were all common weapons in the Space of Pan Gu, and all of these powerful existences beyond the conception of cultivation, were called ‘Civilization Mecha’. They were created by a group of mysterious giants in this space.”

“Those giants were at least at the Tao Ancestor level, and some were even at the Divine Emperor level. Although they occupied less than a tenth of the Space of Pan Gu, their strength were ranked the best among all. However, they were faced with two disadvantages. First, the resources were scarce in the area where they lived. Therefore, even if they had mastered the advanced skills of Civilization Mecha, they could only make several lowest-level cannons. As for warships or fortresses, although they were able to design them, they had no way to produce them. Second, they had a short lifespan, which was a fatal weakness for all of them!”

“Then, as time went by, the giants integrated into other clans, and the closest contact they had, was with the Human Clan, which had the largest population.” “Therefore, some gifted cultivators learned the skills of Civilization Mecha gradually, and soon after, they created some clones that could even rival the original ones.”

“Meanwhile, the giants also gained numerous valuable materials. So, the results were satisfactory to both. But then, one thing happened, which led to the rivalry between the two clans, and led to the devastation of the Space of Pan Gu.”

“As the giants collected more and more materials, they came across an artifact that could change a clan’s fate! With their high cultivation and super mecha skills, the giants would have been an enviable clan. However, their lifespans were short. Even a giant at the Divine Emperor level could only live for 100 thousand years.”

“But there was a kind of Spirit Grass called ‘The Tianxuan Holy Rattan’, which could prolong their lives, especially for those at the Emperor level. With it, they need not have to worry about the brevity of their lives! What we didn’t know was, the inevitable seed of war had been sown, ever since they obtained the first rattan.”

“One day, without any warning, the giants launched a massive invasion of the Human Clan, in the areas where there were an abundance of Tianxuan Holy Rattans. The defenseless humans were stunned, as the giants were still on good terms with them the day before. Before they realized what was happening, a third of the Space of Pan Gu, had been invaded.”

“What stirred their anger was that, in order to obtain those Tianxuan Holy Rattans, they destroyed everything with mechas, regardless of cultivators’ lives. From then on, war was inevitable between us!”

“Led by 10 Divine Emperors of the Human Clan, we fought back, during which, the clones from the Civilization Mecha played a vital role in the war. And fortunately, although the giants had much more mechas than us, their population was limited. So, the number of mechas they could operate, was almost the same as ours, which was a great blessing for us!”

“The war was tragic. Only the powerful figures at the Emperor level could afford to fight against the mechas. Others below this level, including Divine Ancestors, found it hard to hold on for a long time.”

“At that time, except for the Space of Pan Gu, the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa next to it, was the most influential, where there were also powerful figures at the Emperor level. And there were also some ancient families and Rogue Cultivators, whose strength could rival that of an Immortal Emperor, although they were not many! All of these people provided great support to us!”

“There were 10 families altogether, each of whom was much powerful than the other! Those who influenced the war most, were the puppets of the Fang family and the spirit servers of the Han family. You have seen them just now, but those in the war, were far more powerful.”

“The war was cruel. With so many mechas in the war, even Divine Emperors couldn’t control the extent of the damage.” “Shortly afterward, the war swept over the entire Pangu Origin world. Only the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa remained intact, as it was under the protection of the Divine Emperor of Pan Gu, the supreme leader of the Space of Pan Gu at that time.”

“I can’t remember how long the war lasted. What I know is that numerous lives were lost from both sides. Until one day, in order to end this hopeless war, someone proposed that we should seal up the Space of Pan Gu, which had been totally destroyed by the war.”

“The proposer was from the Gongsun family, who was the best at sealing, among the 10 families. And his proposal also gained approval from the majority. After all, that hopeless war had made too many cultivators lose their families and friends. But the problem was that the stimulation of the sealing method needed time and it would create a loud sound. So we needed some people to hold off the giants, who would definitely hinder the preparation for the sealing.”

“After discussing this, the 10 Divine Emperors finally decided to adopt this method to end the war! As for choosing the candidates to hold off the giants, they had a fierce argument over it. That was because these people would also be sealed up with the giants. In short, unless the seal was destroyed someday, they could never break free!”

“The candidates could only be the powerful figures at the Emperor level, so even Divine Emperors felt it difficult to choose. The people for and against the proposal had numerous arguments over this. Finally, five Divine Emperors selected over 100 cultivators to execute the proposal for peace, for the later generations.”

“Not all the people chosen were willing to do that, but they had a strict sense of duty and had to follow the orders. On that fateful day, they executed the plan resolutely, and the position of the sealing was deliberately set at a narrow space that the Civilization Mechas couldn’t enter.”

“As for what happened afterward, you have seen it in the video. The sealing succeeded, and this disastrous war finally ended, with the sacrifice of numerous powerful cultivators.”

“The Space of Pan Gu broke into five parts, and each part had a core seal. Among the five seals, four are subsidiaries, and one is the main. Now, they are scattered in different places. Among the four subsidiary seals, two of them are in this world, and one is in the Pangu Origin world. And the last one is in the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa, which is now known as ‘the forbidden area of Remote Antiquity’, which is a gathering place for wild beasts.”

“The core seal lies precisely where the giants live, and it has been sent into a mysterious space by the Gongsun family. Unless the four subsidiary seals around it are broken, the core one will not show up again.”

“Before the sealing began, the guards for the four subsidiary ones had been confirmed. This place is guarded by Ancestor Tongtian and myself. And of course, we are just a Divided Soul from our real existence, as we are also trapped in the seal.”

“Those one thousand corpses you saw in the mausoleum are the basic sealing containers. There are four thousand sealing containers in the four subsidiary seals, and even their lowest cultivation is at the Tao Master level. Most of them are from the Space of Pan Gu, and they are all heroes, who helped to bring this war to an end.”

“Now, Civilization Mechas have reappeared. Although they are the lowest-level cannons, you have seen their destructive powers. What the high level of civilization brought to us is only the accelerating devastation. I tested you in the illusion, just to see whether you would get lost in such mighty powers. To my satisfaction, you are pure and determined, and indeed qualified to be a master.”

After quietly absorbing what was being said, Lyu Liang was inwardly stunned. Those seniors at the Tao Master level could have been influential figures wherever they went, and those masters at the Emperor level could have been absolute kings in a world. But for the sake of peace for the later generations, all of them sacrificed themselves to launch an indescribably, tragic sealing war. What they had done was absolutely admirable, something to be remembered through the ages.

“Senior, I’ve never heard about this from anyone else, and I know nothing about the powerful figures at the Emperor level. Is it because the world I’m in is at a low level, or is it being deliberately covered up?” Lyu Liang asked curiously.

“For both reasons. But it’s mainly because the powerful figures of the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa have sealed up everything related to that war, including the cultivators at the Emperor level, and especially the mechas, who are an absolute taboo! Cultivators’ world should be dominated by cultivators themselves. As for those mechas that broke the balance, just let them disappear from this world!” A hint of nostalgia appeared in Freedom Immortal Emperor’s eyes, and his tone sounded very distressed.

Lyu Liang nodded firmly. He already understood that the existence of the Civilization Mecha would not do any good to the cultivators’ world. The tragic war had totally revealed the harm of such a mighty force.

Looking at Lyu Liang, who had a serious look on his face, Freedom Immortal Emperor smiled slightly and said, “I told you all of these because you will be the new master of this sealed space, to replace me. And I’ll also keep my promise.”

“Master? I’ve never thought of mastering this space! I came here with my companions to find…” Lyu Liang was stunned and confused.

“Don’t worry. I know what you’re coming for. Over a hundred people have been to the relic, but none of them could find it. Only when you become the master, then can you operate the high-level Civilization Mecha. Isn’t it what you want? No matter how many cannons you get outside, they can’t rival a Civilization Mecha. What are you hesitating for?!” Freedom Immortal Emperor said playfully, looking at Lyu Liang’s embarrassed face, with interest.

“You mean that I can obtain this Heaven Prestige Fortress?” Lyu Liang tried to calm down, but he was feeling too excited inside. If he could get this potent stuff, then the war outside might end early, just as the illusion showed.

“Ho ho, do you think that you can take the Heaven Prestige Fortress out? Have you ever thought of how much chaos it will cause? How will the powerful figures of the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa react to it? The illusion is always deceptive, and the troubles in reality are much greater than you expect. Besides, the Heaven Prestige Fortress is where the seal lies. Even if I allow you to take it away, you can’t do it.” Although Freedom Immortal Emperor’s words caused a lot of disappointment to Lyu Liang, he knew that he would not leave empty handed.

Just as he expected, Freedom Immortal Emperor paused to look at Lyu Liang’s hopeful eyes, and then he said with a laugh, “All right, let me tell you straight. Although you can’t get the Heaven Prestige Fortress, you will still obtain a treasure that is enough to turn the tide of war. But you need to make an absolute vow as the master of the Civilization Mecha, that all the mechas, whether inside or outside the seal, will lose their effectiveness, when the war ends!”
