Chapter 15: The Star of the Machine

Three days later, the mechanical planet of space-time fault.

This is a special location that is different from Planar City.

If it is said that the space-time city on the mechanical planet is a transit station tailored by Lu Xuan for those who can travel through time and space in order to find the country of light.

Well, this is a super-large altar built to preserve the body of the Great Gu.

Based on the size of the giants, a huge pyramid-like structure has been built with the properties of being strong enough to withstand any natural disaster.

And on the periphery of this massive inner pyramid, a wilderness guarded by countless mechanical beasts drives away anyone who tries to approach it.

It's not just the ever-changing and varied automatons.

The wilderness itself is also a large energy source, capable of extracting a steady stream of energy directly from the core of the mechanical planet.

When these geocentric energies meet the silver rivers on the surface, a crimson wave is formed.

It has to be mentioned here that the silver river that runs through the entire planet is essentially a group of mechanical beasts that have not yet possessed a concrete form.

These automatons exist in the form of nanoworms and nanofactories, and they themselves store all the abilities and DNA components of the automatron group since their birth.

Therefore, when this silver river merges with the energy of the center of the earth, a mechanical beast that is very different from the normal state is born.

It's like a river of blood that surrounds the entire wasteland.

Any substance that falls on this river of blood will be swallowed and assimilated by it in an instant.

When the devoured matter reaches a certain level, the entire blood river will actively differentiate and produce an extremely special blood-colored mechanical beast like a living body.

These blood-colored mechanical beasts possess beasts that far surpass their peers, and will be the first to attack any living being.

Since these blood-colored automatons were branded with the mission of "guardian pyramid altars" at the beginning of their birth, they naturally became the guardians of the wasteland.

No matter who they are, no matter how powerful they are, if anyone dares to invade this wilderness, those blood-colored mechanical beasts will attack them wildly until all the invaders are destroyed.

Given the amazing assimilation and reproduction abilities of the Automatons, it is unlikely that an outsider will successfully invade the wilderness.

"Aren't you afraid of accidents if you let these mechanical beings develop like this?"

Standing directly above the pyramid-like altar, Hikari looked at the rampant, murderous blood-colored automatons below, instinctively wary of their presence.

Truth be told, Hikari has never seen a civilization that would allow its creation to evolve so freely.

Not to mention the blood-colored automatons.

Even if a normal version of the mechanical beast goes berserk, this mechanical planet will become the brood of the mechanical beast.

"I thought only humans would worry about their creations rebelling?"

Through getting along in the past few days, Lu Xuan and Hikari have initially established a friendship, so they speak a lot more casually.

"Aside from ability and size, giants aren't much superior to humans."

"You know, in the dark ages when the stars of the Land of Light were extinguished, we did only more crazy things than you might think."

Unabashedly revealing the dark history of the Land of Light, Hikari still maintains the calm tone.

"Not much better than humans?"

"I guess you're the only one in the entire multiverse who thinks so."

Putting down the operating instrument in his hand, Lu Xuan also looked down at the blood-colored mechanical beasts below.

"Those civilizations that fear the rebellion of creation often regard creation as their own 'slave' civilization."

"Or rather, the creations of those civilizations are themselves 'tools' made by intelligent beings to enjoy and relieve stress."

"It's just that with the progress of science and technology and the development of the times, those civilized creatures themselves are becoming more and more like their own creators."

"In this respect, they are fundamentally different from my automatons."

After a slight pause in his tone, Lu Xuan continued to explain calmly.

"I have no desire for automatons, and I even expect them to evolve their own civilization, so I'm not worried that they will rebel against me."

"In a sense, I even look forward to the day when they rebel."

"Because that means their awakening, and it also means that my research on life and civilization can be closed."

Normal civilization creates artificial life in order to replace some complicated work that it is unwilling to do.

Lu Xuan created artificial life, just to explore the topic of life and evolution, and by the way, to help himself solve a little trouble.

The different original intentions led to completely different endings for the two.

"You are usurping the authority of the Creator."

Hikari has seen many civilizations and defeated many self-proclaimed "gods".

Lu Xuan was the only one, and Shikari felt that he had never seen through the other party.

Except for a few close people, the other party seems to have maintained that kind of high-minded and detached posture.

As Hikari put it, it was the attitude of looking down on all beings like a Creator.

Due to the fact that the level difference was too great, Lu Xuan was not at all worried that the rebellion of the mechanical beasts would really hurt him.

On the contrary, Lu Xuan was looking forward to the mechanical beasts breaking through the original program they had set and adding some fun to this "experimental subject" that was destined to be long and boring.

As for whether Lu Xuan would be angry or even completely exterminate the mechanical beast because of this?

Based on Hikari's observation of Lu Xuan in the past few days, he believes that this possibility is most likely non-existent.

The "bear child" is naughty and beaten.

No parent really cares too much about the children they have brought up.

If one day, the mechanical beasts really awaken and rebel, Lu Xuan will most likely choose to let go like a real parent, and then choose a new topic and research direction.

"This mechanical planet...... It's the 'coming-of-age gift' you'll give them in the future! ”

It was obviously a questioning sentence, but Shikari said it in an affirmative tone.

This mechanical planet fits perfectly into the ecology of the mechanical beasts, and it is a planet that cannot occur naturally in the universe.

Considering that Lu Xuan himself did not have much demand for the resources on the mechanical planet, it could basically be concluded that this was an artificial planet specially created by the other party for the mechanical beast.

"It's just an artificial planet, you should be able to do it, right?"

Glancing at Shikari slightly, Lu Xuan thought that with the other party's technology and resources, it was impossible not to do this kind of thing.

"Haha, I don't know why you have so much confidence in me, but building such a huge planet is indeed beyond my ability."

"It might be more realistic to be the King of Ultra instead."

Spreading his hands a little helplessly, Shikari found out through his understanding in the past few days that Lu Xuan didn't know why he had a very ridiculous overestimation of his ability.

I'm just a scientist.

is not a "candidate creator" like Lu Xuan, who has both technology, ability, resources, action, and even a perfect assistant.
