"What is Gundam?"
"No, it's nothing, please don't mind it."
After the initial consternation, Wang Lu quickly realized that the Gundam-like metal puppet he saw was not a dramatic coincidence, but a most reasonable product.
What Sun Buping said before was right. If he wanted to make up for the difference in strength between him and the Fallen Immortal, he had to rely on the power of external objects. However, no matter how sharp the weapon was, it could not cover up the weakness of the user. No matter how sharp the sword was, if it fell into the hands of a child, it would be difficult to say what threat it would pose.
If he wanted to leave no flaws, he had to strengthen the user's ability. However, this was tantamount to returning the problem to its origin — if there was a way to make the cultivator's own strength surpass that of the Fallen Immortal, why would he work so hard to sharpen external objects?
And a humanoid puppet was the perfect answer to these two contradictions … However, in this flying immortal world, it was inevitable for Wang Lu to be shocked when he suddenly saw this kind of thing.
After thinking about it, Wang Lu put down the surprise in his heart and asked, "Thank you, Senior, for telling me such a long story, but … Why do you want to tell me this?"
Sun Buping's Gundam was indeed powerful, but it was obviously his own car and had nothing to do with outsiders. And this kind of sharp weapon took Sun Buping ten thousand years to build. Obviously, there would not be a second one at present. Moreover, if it was really a supreme immortal treasure, why would there be a second one … So, in short, whether it was the story just now or the Gundam, what did it have to do with Wang Lu?
Since you're so powerful, then drive the Gundam to sweep away the Fallen Immortals. I will remember to cheer for you.
Sun Buping smiled and said, "I'm dying."
"… Dying?" Wang Lu asked in surprise, "The injury from 16,000 years ago hasn't healed yet? Or was it because of Black's plot just now? "
Sun Buping said, "My lifespan is coming to an end."
"Lifespan is coming to an end?" Wang Lu felt that this reason was absurd. How could the dignified leader of the Dixian leave at such a critical moment for such a reason?!
"There are no immortal things in this world. No matter how strong a cultivator is, there has never been an example of someone who can live as long as heaven and earth. My normal lifespan is about eight thousand years, and I have lost more than half of it in many fierce battles with the Fallen Immortals. Then, in the group of immortal tombs, I exhausted all means to forcibly extend my lifespan. However, when I reached ten thousand years, I was like a dried up oil lamp, and so far, I have overdrawn my lifespan for two thousand years. I also didn't expect that after ten thousand years, the group of immortal tombs has not been opened, and the Fallen Immortals have never appeared again. But, fortunately, I was able to complete this godly weapon. "
As Sun Buping spoke, he sighed in amusement. "Actually, when I first started to build it, I thought that even if I spent the rest of my life, I would only be able to complete a rough framework at most, and that I would need a fated person in the future to complete it. In the end, it was you who worked so hard until the end. "
Wang Lu was silent for a while and then asked, "Then … you finally completed this miraculous product, and you're going to leave peacefully?"
Sun Buping said with a self-deprecating smile, "I'm afraid I can't say peaceful. After overdrawing my lifespan for two thousand years, if there is reincarnation, I'm afraid I would have to reincarnate in the animal path for ten thousand years to pay off this debt. If there is no reincarnation, after I die, I would have to suffer thousands of lightning tribulations to be free. But in any case, my time is indeed coming … So, sorry for being a bit long-winded just now. "
"It's okay, it's understandable …" Wang Lu said, "But, back to the original question, these things … What do they have to do with me?"
When Sun Buping died of old age, Tetragon would take over. If something happened to Tetragon, there was still Bai Ze, Xuan Mo, and the entire Wanxian League … Why did he have to go through so much trouble to find me to say such meaningless nonsense?
"Because I need you to drive it."
"Me?!" Wang Lu widened his eyes in disbelief and turned to look at the metal puppet, which was more than a thousand feet high. Although the big guy had not moved yet, the cold and awe-inspiring presence made people feel a little breathless. Wang Lu had no doubt that even if he fought with all his strength, he would not be able to fight against this guy's little finger.
Just from what he saw on the surface, this giant puppet looked clumsy, but its body was made up of countless small basic modules. These basic modules were as big as a fist, while the small ones were as thin as a grain of sand, and each module was engraved with complex and fine inscriptions. Finally, under the powerful control of the central control, a unified structure was maintained.
This structure was not too novel, and Wang Lu had learned some basic knowledge in puppetry. The puppet made in this way had extremely comprehensive functions, but the flaw was that the strength of the controller's primordial spirit was extremely high. If he were to drive this thing, his primordial spirit would probably be broken by the surging torrent of signals as soon as it was connected to the control center of this big guy.
However, Sun Buping would not joke about this kind of urgent matter.
Therefore, Wang Lu said, "Give me a reasonable reason."
Sun Buping said, "Because you have the Void Spirit Root."
Void Spirit Root … Wang Lu closed his eyes. This reason was really, really strong.
One of the biggest characteristics of the Void Spirit Root was that the entrance and exit of the Jade Mansion and the outside world were very wide, almost without any restrictions. When Wang Lu was still in the Qi Refining Stage, he could cause the tide reaction of the surrounding spiritual energy. Now that his cultivation base had advanced to the Yuanying Stage, his access was probably comparable to that of an Immortal. However, this meant that...
"This thing has no requirement for the primordial spirit?"
"There is no requirement for the strength of the primordial spirit, but the requirement for the primordial spirit is more demanding … As for the specific situation, you will know after you go up and try it."
"... Very well, then I won't be polite."
Wang Lu leaped up to a height of several hundred zhang, entered the central control room of the metal puppet, and sat on the throne in the center of the control room.
Just when he was curious about the joystick and other equipment of this big guy, the door of the control room suddenly closed with a bang. From the holes on the four walls of the room, red liquid poured down like a waterfall, and soon filled the entire control room. Wang Lu seemed to understand something, but he was not in a hurry and let the liquid soak him.
Before long, the red liquid filled the room. Wang Lu took a deep breath and let the liquid pour into his mouth and lungs.
The next moment, Wang Lu felt that his world was fragmented. His field of vision was stretched, and the sound of the liquid rolling in his ears was distorted into strange notes … In a flash, Wang Lu's field of vision appeared a dark red low mound. And the sky above his head suddenly became a lot lower, as if it was within reach.
“？！”
Wang Lu felt somewhat inconceivable. After a moment of hesitation, he tried to raise his hand.
Then, he saw two palms shining with a metallic luster.
Boom!
It was as if hundreds of thunderbolts exploded in his mind at the same time, shaking him into a trance. When Wang Lu regained consciousness, he found that he was already outside the body of the puppet. Sun Buping and Tetragon were on either side of him, looking concerned.
"... What was that just now?" Wang Lu shook his head, still feeling dizzy. Fortunately, there were no other side effects.
Sun Buping explained, "That was a rejection reaction caused by a low synchronization rate."
"Synchronization rate?"
"This puppet isn't a cold and emotionless tool, but a mystical weapon that possesses life. And if you want to control it, you need to synchronize your thoughts with it. When you can reach the point where you can connect with it and communicate with it without any hindrance. It is equivalent to you becoming its incarnation, and you will have unparalleled and powerful strength. And my so-called synchronization rate is a unit to measure the level of synchronization … "
"Wait, this makes me feel very strange …" After listening to Sun Buping's explanation, Wang Lu felt his head ache even more. "Let's first confirm a few issues. First of all, driving this big guy should be quite risky, right? For example, if the synchronization rate is too low, then there is no need to say anything, but if it is too high … "
Sun Buping was a little surprised by Wang Lu's question. "You actually thought of this step? Amazing. As you guessed, driving it is very risky. The synchronization rate is one of the important factors. If the synchronization rate is too low, you cannot use the puppet's power, but if the synchronization rate is too high … you will be assimilated by it. Because compared to it, you are really too weak. "
"This setting is really …" Wang Lu shook his head and asked, "The second question, when this puppet was first created, you should have customized it for yourself, right?"
Sun Buping nodded. "Yes, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. Although I completed it, I lost the opportunity to personally drive it."
"In that case, no matter how I look at it, your wife, Tetragon, is more suitable. She has been your husband and wife for many years, so she must understand the thinking of the big toy you created better than I do. At the same time, she is very powerful, so it will be difficult for her to be assimilated … "
"Yes, from a steady point of view, she is more suitable than you," Sun Buping said. "At the beginning, I did arrange for her to drive it. But … the rejection effect is more serious than I expected. She does not have the Void Spirit Root, and as a part of the control center in the control room, she will be bombarded by energy from all directions, so it is inevitable that she will be injured. At the same time, although she and I have become dao companions, we are familiar with each other. But our temperaments and ideas are very different, so it is difficult to raise the synchronization rate to the highest. And the most important thing is … she has been plotted against by the darkness, and has been seriously injured. There is no hope for her to recover for at least a few decades. "
Hearing this, Wang Lu looked at Tetragon in surprise. Only then did he realize that although she had been putting on a cool and calm posture, her condition was indeed very bad. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was covered in cuts and bruises. One of her arms was seriously burned, and one of her eyes was blind, and blood kept flowing out …
Sun Buping said lightly, "Of course, if you really do not want to drive it, it is okay. Tetragon will persist until the end."
"Okay, okay." Wang Lu waved his hand. "Since we have already said this, you want me to watch a cute loli girl die? I will drive it … By the way, let me ask you one last question. This big guy, what is its scientific name? "
Sun Buping said, "Speaking of which, I have not really considered the problem of naming it. This thing is the result of my life's blood, sweat, and tears, but more importantly, it carries the desire of countless people for victory and happiness. So I am going to name it … "
"Evangelion."
"Enough, change its name now!"
