The drastic changes in the Galaxy and the shocking spear on the Lightless Island woke up the super forces that had been sleeping for a long time. They were still immersed in the joy of the Mechanical Engineering and Training Institute on the Seven Continents. But now, they all felt a chill down their spines.
It was as if the autumn wind had swept away all the fallen leaves. It was as if the end of the world was coming.
That feeling became more and more real as the images from the Galaxy were released. That spear seemed to be able to pierce through the light screen and pierce into their hearts. Even the level-9 players felt uneasy.
Maybe this catastrophe was like the autumn wind that swept away all the fallen leaves on the ground. Maybe they and the forces they belonged to were the autumn leaves on the ground!
After the autumn wind, there would be a winter that would never see the light of day.
The feeling of impending catastrophe seemed to have been imprinted in the blood of the human race. The last few eras had been annihilated silently, and the human race seemed to have gone extinct long ago. The blood of the newborn humans seemed to still carry the memories of the final catastrophe. This was an unavoidable turmoil. The only way was to fight to the death to protect themselves, their families, their friends, and everything within their sight!
The memories imprinted in their blood were awakened, and the trembling was awakened. Soon, the seven continents were plunged into a state of panic. Fortunately, Li Xiang was not the only one in this era. Bai Lili, Lancelot, Bai Shili, and a few others who had ascended to the throne had all sent out notices. They used this opportunity to announce the truth of the final catastrophe to the public. They were certain that it was unavoidable, and they could only face it together.
Those players who were lucky had been wiped out in the beginning. This time, Bai Lili took the opportunity to wipe out a group of wavering middle-of-the-road players. She had to hold on tight to all her forces. The enemy was already strong enough. If there was any internal strife, there would be no need to fight the war.
As if it had been agreed, the Bai family officially launched an attack. As the leader of the five kings in both the old era and the new era, the Bai family had the best resources and connections. They had a large number of disciples and elites. They had been hiding on the Subcontinent. Many super forces thought that the Bai family was similar to the Dong Ling family and the Ji family. However, when they saw the Bai family's legions, they realized that the Bai family had changed a long time ago.
One of the legions led by Baimiya was as large as a level-9 super force, and the Bai family had hundreds of such legions!
On the other hand, the five kings of the new era — the Dong Ling family, the Yue family, the Oakes family, and the Ye family — had all sent their legions to important numbered cities.
The Night Monarch was all alone. After ascending to the Fifth Monarch Realm, she reformed the former Night Watchers of the Great Wall of Disaster and gathered her former subordinates. With the help of her only Blood Descendant, Night Shadow, she established this new Monarch Realm. Now, it was also a super powerful faction.
The Night Shadow had the blood of both the Ye family and the Yue family. He was Li Xiang's teacher. The Oakes family had pledged their allegiance to the Polar night players. After the war in the South, the Yue family had become one with the new Polar night alliance. After Li Xiang killed the Golden Lion, the Dong Ling family had returned to the First Lady's hands. As a result, the five kings were more or less closely related to Li Xiang. As the five pillars of the human camp, they would never be shaken.
The Evil Royalty and the Poker Club had finally revealed their trump cards after this incident. The Evil Royalty had poached the pillars of many forces through Bai Lili's vile spawns. They had a large number of vile generals who were all elite players. Under her swift and decisive rule, they had become the number one super force in terms of combat power, resources, and connections.
The Poker Club's composition was relatively complicated. Lancelot's subordinates were either mechanized creatures or anthropomorphic Disasters. He was the first player to activate anthropomorphic Disasters with Bai Lili. For some reason, Bai Lili had stopped this plan, but he continued. The anthropomorphic modification had even spread to the Dominator and Overlord Disasters. With a large number of mechanized creatures, the Poker Club's strength was not below that of the Evil Royalty. In fact, it was equivalent to half of Galaxy.
After the video incident, Lancelot made a public appearance for the first time. At the same time, he gave Li Xiang some reassurance. Regardless of whether he still had any personal grudges or irreconcilable conflicts with Bai Lili, at least they were allies when it came to facing the final catastrophe.
Lancelot had personally promised that the anthropomorphic Disasters would not be affected by the Lord of Disasters' revival. They were friends of the human camp. Although many forces doubted his words, Li Xiang trusted this man.
Because with Lancelot's temperament, if he really wanted to deal with Lin Huang and the seven continents, there was no need for him to lie.
It seemed that no matter what the original purpose of the anthropomorphic Disasters was, whether it was Bai Lili's idea or Lancelot's, the basic purpose was probably to deal with this catastrophe.
They should have had a premonition of the Lord of Disasters' revival. This was a very long-term plan.
As the recognized leader of the New Polar Night Alliance, Li Xiang no longer stayed out of the matter. He constantly ran around the various forces, dispelling their fears and gathering all the strength of the human race.
He felt that he had already touched the threshold of Level 10. It seemed like he was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through. However, the clearer this feeling was, the more difficult it was to actually carry it out. After more than a month had passed since the video incident, the feeling of breaking through became more and more obvious. However, there was still no sign of it happening.
Li Xiang knew that haste made waste. As he walked around, he also went to see Bai Lili, Lancelot, Bai Shili, and Duke Xiluo, who had been holed up in the machinery room all year long.
This Level 9 pinnacle player who was not often talked about, the undisputed number one in the field of machinery, had long since stopped managing Wessex. He locked himself up in the machinery room all day long. When he opened the door, Li Xiang was shocked.
There was another figure in the machinery room. Upon closer inspection, it was the Queen of Pain, whom he had not seen for a long time!
She was a perfect mechanical creature created by Xiluo himself. Xiluo claimed that her completion rate was even higher than his own daughter, Cecilia. Her model was Bai Lili before she was dismembered. In the Sky Arena and the subsequent series of battles, Li Xiang had interacted with her. The last time she appeared to help Li Xiang kill General Shogun and the others, she went to other worlds to search for her true self.
After that, even after Li Xiang died, the Queen of Pain did not appear again. There was no news of her at all. He thought that she had died in space. He did not expect her to be in Duke Xiluo's machinery room!
"Long time no see, Li Xiang." The Queen of Pain looked like a young and energetic Bai Lili in all aspects. She was valiant and only had a white towel wrapped around her body. Her long hair was wet, and water droplets dripped down her face. Her fair and smooth skin and large breasts were exposed.
Her voice no longer had a mechanical tone. Her expression was natural, just like a real person.
Li Xiang felt that the subtle connection between him and her had disappeared. At his current level, he could not feel any mechanical aura from her.
However, his intuition told him that this was not a body of flesh and blood. She was still a mechanical creature in essence, just a different concept from the mechanical creatures he knew.
Li Xiang suddenly thought of Bai Yuhan. This cousin of the Bai family was the same. After a part of her body was mechanized, she became different from a human. However, she was also different from a pure mechanical creature. She had the thoughts and emotions of a human, but she also had the characteristics of a mechanical creature.
In other words, they were not inanimate objects, nor were they humans. They could be said to be a completely new species!
Creating living beings was the exclusive ability of Eternal existences!
As if he saw through the reason for Li Xiang's shock, Xiluo smiled faintly and invited him into the house to have a seat. As he brewed tea, he said with a smile, "Why, are you shocked? To be able to shock a Polar night player who has the mechanical authority, that's enough for me to be proud. "
The so-called machinery room had long been transformed into a warm little home. Only he and the Queen of Pain lived here. They were like newlyweds, isolated from the rest of the world, living a comfortable life of their own.
Li Xiang took the cup of strong tea and chuckled. "Uncle, you must be joking. In terms of mechanical knowledge and knowledge, I'm still far behind you and him."
"Haha, the three of us are just researching in different directions. You don't have to belittle yourself. Lancelot focuses on mechanical creatures. He wants to create mechanical creatures with the strongest combat power. You, on the other hand, are working in a wider field with a wider range of applications. As for me … All these years, I've only wanted to create the most perfect version of her in my heart and memory. She's real, not fake, and has her own thoughts and feelings, just like a human. "
Duke Xiluo looked at him and then at the Queen of Pain. He held her hand gently.
The Queen of Pain responded with a smile. She was no longer confused and doubted her own identity. Now, she loved this man. She had her own thoughts and feelings. She was a real "human".
Without waiting for Li Xiang to ask, Duke Xiluo explained everything.
When he was young, he was arrogant and had great talent. Even though he spent most of his time on machinery, he still far surpassed his peers in the path of cultivation. He could stand shoulder to shoulder with geniuses like Bai Shili.
When he found out that he had a younger brother whose mechanical talent was not below his own, Xiluo's interest was piqued. He met this younger brother of his who was equally talented in Lancelot's manor. He also met Bai Lili.
At that moment, he was completely captivated.
Bai Lili was lively and cute. She had the best of everything. In their circle, she was a little princess, the center of everyone's attention. However, she loved Lancelot deeply. The two of them had been through too much together. They had long fallen in love. No one could replace them.
Xiluo knew that he had no chance at all. At that time, he had the idea of creating a "Bai Lili".
The plan had been laid out decades ago.
Since then, Xiluo had been hiding his feelings for her until Bai Lili came to him. She wanted to breed a descendant with him. That was how he had successfully obtained Bai Lili's genes.
Bai Lili had chosen Lancelot, Xiluo, and Bai Shili. After that, there was Li Xiang, Li Yetong, and Cecilia.
Cecilia, who had many of Bai Lili's bloodline and characteristics, naturally became Xiluo's best research subject. She was equivalent to half of Bai Lili. The technology that Xiluo wanted to use on the Queen of Pain could be tested on Cecilia first.
Just like that, with Cecilia as the first test subject, the Queen of Pain was successfully completed. However, it could not be officially activated.
The most difficult part was how to turn her into a sentient life form.
Unlike Bai Yuhan and Cecilia, they were humans to begin with. They were just mechanized. They did not have cognitive problems with consciousness, thought, or emotions. However, the Queen of Pain was a mechanical creature created out of nothing. She was programmed and had no consciousness.
No matter how similar and precise the creation, a dead object was still a dead object.
"I spent all my effort and traveled to countless worlds. I even seemed to have come into contact with some eternal beings. Finally, I found a way to activate her mind. That's you, Li Xiang." Xiluo sighed.
"Me?"
"That's right. Have you forgotten? She only truly awakened her own consciousness after her nerves were connected to yours. Before you came to the Sky Arena, she had no consciousness at all. " Duke Xiluo nodded heavily. "All of this was arranged by me. However, the premise was that you would initiate contact with her."
Li Xiang came to a realization. When he had gone to the Sky Arena, he had wanted to choose a mechanical creature. He had chosen the Queen of Pain because she looked like his sister Yetong. He had also heard that she was a creation left behind by Duke Xiluo.
After that, the Queen of Pain had slowly changed. As their bond deepened, she gradually gained self-awareness. She began to question herself and search for her true self. Li Xiang had also contributed a lot during this process. Now, she could become a real 'human'. Li Xiang had indeed contributed a lot.
He did not expect all of this to be arranged by Duke Xiluo.
He did not explain the reason, but it probably involved the secrets of eternal beings. This kind of secret technique to create living beings must have a huge price. After all, it was an ability exclusive to eternal beings. He did not know how Xiluo had made a deal with such beings and obtained this secret technique.
He did not ask, and Xiluo would definitely not tell him. He only needed to know the result.
"Compared to the two of you, I really don't deserve to be called the number one mechanical man. From the beginning to the end, I was only thinking for myself. After I successfully completed the creation of her soul, I stayed here with her and did not ask about anything else." Duke Xiluo smiled bitterly. "I'm not a qualified successor to the family. I'm not a qualified company chairman, and I'm not a qualified father. I only want to be a good husband."
"This is your choice …" Li Xiang sighed. Actually, it was not that Xiluo did not care about anything else. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to meet him after Li Xiang came looking for him.
It was just that his love for Bai Lili was too deep.
Looking at the blissful Duke Xiluo and the Queen of Pain, Li Xiang could not bear to break them apart, even though this happiness was obtained at the cost of many people's pain.
However, when it came to love, who could tell who was right and who was wrong?
"I understand. However, I hope that you can find time to meet Cecilia. She …" Li Xiang stopped there. He thought about how his sister Cecilia had distorted two personalities because of this …
