Chapter 1 Alone in a foreign land as a stranger
Taishang Hongmeng, chaos is at the beginning, and the universe is laid.
Legend has it that there are 3,000 dimensions in the world.
The Holy Light Universe, the Myriad Phases Universe, the Dragon Phoenix Universe, and the Bliss Universe are all high-dimensional universes that rank high in strength in the three thousand dimensional universes.
As the oldest universe in the world, the Great Universe of the Great Flood Universe was once ranked as a high-dimensional universe, but now it is decaying, ranking at the bottom of the heavens and all the universes.
And the culprit of all this stems from a battle for Jiuding.
Regarding the records of Jiuding, the human race can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty at the earliest.
According to legend, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, King Dayu of Xia divided the world into Kyushu, so that Kyushu contributed bronze, engraved Kyushu map, cast Jiuding, and carried out the national fortune in town.
However, in the historical records of the mechanical family, the Jiuding cast by the Xia Dynasty is just an imitation.
The real Jiuding contains supreme mysteries, and its history is much older than that of Jiuding in the Xia Dynasty, which can be traced back to the origin of the universe.
Kyushu Ding, also known as the Ding of Jiuyu, is said to have been born in the early Hongmeng period
For endless years, the mechanical clan has been committed to studying the secrets of Jiuding, and even sent strong people to infiltrate the territory of the human race, and at all costs to obtain a replica of Jiuding, trying to solve the true mystery of reincarnation.
However, to date, the research on Jiuding in the mechanical family has not progressed for a long time.
The Domain of the Mechanical Race, the Eternal Realm, the First Scientific Research Institute.
In the deepest part of the scientific research institute, a bronze giant tripod about nine feet high seems to have survived forever, and the three bronze pillars with thick bowls are in a three-legged position, connecting to a two-eared round tripod, as if carrying a supreme power.
The ancient words and patterns engraved on the tripod give people a sense of endless desolation and longevity.
At this moment, countless researchers of the mechanical clan are observing around one of the engravings, trying to analyze it.
This is a very simple carving, carved with only a mountain and a river.
At first glance, there is nothing special about this mountain.
However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that this mountain and river are centered on the central peak, and a total of nine mountain ranges are extended, each of which is like a dragon, prostrate on the earth, as if in worship.
In Feng Shui, this is called the Nine Dragons Pilgrimage.
As the old saying goes, the pilgrimage to Kowloon is the master of the world!
Now this bronze giant is engraved with such a pattern, I don't know what it implies.
Just when a group of mechanical researchers were at a loss for the ancient text and map engraved on the bronze giant tripod, the intelligent optical brain in the scientific research institute suddenly captured a set of mysterious signals.
This is a very complex fluctuation.
The target source is close at hand, and it is the Nine Dragons pilgrimage map engraved on the bronze giant tripod, and mysterious fluctuations emanate from the central peak.
Although the mysterious signal of "undecipherable ......" is captured by the intelligent light brain, it cannot parse any useful information.
This is a signal of civilization that is completely different from the technology mastered by the mechanical civilization.
"According to the big data of the virtual universe, the words and patterns on this bronze giant tripod may be related to the ancient legends of the human race." A mechanical researcher said in a low voice: "Academician Qin said before that the text on the Ding is similar to the ancient divine text of the human race. ”
"Academician Qin was born in the Terran race, and he was born in the study of the ancient civilization of the Terran race, since he said so, then he is not far from ten."
"It's a pity that Academician Qin committed a capital crime, otherwise with Academician Qin here, we wouldn't be helpless."
At this time, Academician Qin, who was in the mouth of a group of mechanical researchers, was in the Eternal Temple, the holy land of the mechanical race, and was being tried by the Supreme Mechanical Court.
Academician Qin, whose real name is Qin Yue, although he was born in the human race, he has been working for the mechanical race because he has lived in the mechanical clan since he was a child.
At the same time, out of curiosity, he is also secretly studying the entire mechanical race.
The automata are very different from other cosmic races.
When every cyborg is born, they will be implanted with a mechanical heart, which will serve as the core of their cultivation and life.
According to research by other races in the universe, the Heart of Machines contains a number of programs that have been encrypted with Robotic technology.
These programs are esoteric yet subtle, capable of giving life to the automata while directing their thoughts and actions.
Instruction 1, all cyborgs are not allowed to actively or passively betray the mechs in their lives, otherwise the self-destruction procedure will be triggered!
Instruction 2, all low-level mechanical families must unconditionally obey the orders of high-level mechanical families!
Of all the program instructions in the mechanical family, these two instructions have the highest priority.
The first directive guarantees that every cyborg will be absolutely loyal to the automaton.
Even if you are captured by the enemy, if any thought or action that betrays the automata occurs, the self-destruct procedure will be triggered.
As for the second directive, it is the core that maintains the relationship between the entire mechanical pyramid.
That's right, the entire mechanical family is a pyramid relationship.
In the Cymbin, a high-level mech controls a large number of low-level mechs, and the low-level mechs control more mechanical monsters.
layer by layer, and finally formed the pyramid ruling structure of the current mechanical family.
A people with an absolute hierarchy that will not tolerate betrayal.
Especially betrayal, once discovered, is a capital offense!
Now, Qin Yue is being tried in the Eternal God Temple, the Holy Land of the Machine Clan, for committing the great crime of treason.
It's an ancient temple that was used to make decisions about big things, but now it's filled with all sorts of automatons.
At the head are the three emperors of the mechanical clan.
There are a total of ten emperors on the surface of the automata, but not all of these ten emperors live in the eternal realm.
Two of them are in charge of guarding the frontier battlefields, four are traveling, one is in retreat, and only three are in the eternal realm all year round.
These three are the Black Emperor, the Blood Skull Emperor, and the Demon Eye Emperor.
The Demon Eye Emperor's body is incomparably huge, and its core is a mechanical one-eyed one eye the size of a mountain, with this mechanical one-eye as the center, a full hundred and eight mechanical tentacles extend from it, and from a distance, it looks like a giant one-eyed mechanical octopus with teeth and claws.
An aura of endless terror enveloped the entire hall.
Qin Yue was shrouded in this endless aura, and it felt like an ordinary person had been thrown into the bottom of the sea at a depth of 20,000 meters, surrounded by oppression and difficult to breathe.
And this is just the breath of life that the Demon Eye Emperor naturally emits.
"Is this a War Emperor-level powerhouse? The release of the breath alone made it difficult for me to breathe. Qin Yue's heart sank.
However, in Qin Yue's opinion, although the Demon Eye Emperor was terrifying, it was still slightly inferior to the Blood Skull Emperor.
The Blood Skull Emperor is a humanoid machine in the shape of a blood-colored metal skeleton, nine feet tall, although it cannot be compared with the Demon Eye Emperor in terms of size, but in front of it, even the Demon Eye Emperor the size of a mountain peak can't help but lower its arrogant head.
"Blood Skull Emperor, cultivating the Law of Blood Origin, has already reached the high level of War Emperor, and it is said that among the Ten Emperors of the Machine Clan, his strength ranks third." Qin Yue said secretly in his heart, and then secretly glanced at the Black Emperor who was standing at the top of the Eternal Temple.
If it is said that among the ten emperors of the mechanical race, the Blood Skull Emperor ranks third in strength, then the Black Heaven Emperor is the undisputed first.
The Black Emperor is a dragon-like machine covered in black scale armor.
It had a mechanical body hundreds of times larger than the Demon Eye Emperor, and its huge body nearly 100,000 meters long was entrenched there, like an ancient dragon, and even the Demon Eye Emperor looked extremely small in front of it.
At this moment, the entire Temple of Eternity was shrouded in the shadow of the Black Emperor.
Eight wildernesses and six combinations, I am the only one!
Heaven and earth, only I dominate!
This is the Black Emperor, the undisputed strongest of the Ten Emperors of the Mechanical Race.
Qin Yue had a hunch that most of today's trial would not end well, after all, even the Black Emperor had come forward.
"Before the trial begins, please watch the whole thing happen."
Under the nod of the Black Emperor, the Demon Eye Emperor took the lead in speaking, and with a wave of his hand, a three-dimensional projection appeared in mid-air.
In the Temple of Eternity, all the mechanical people looked into the air, and Qin Yue, who was standing in the center of the trial, also looked up.
The first thing that appeared in the projection was the image of the Zerg Mother Queen Elise visiting the Eternal Realm a year ago.
Then the scene switched, Qin Yue privately contacted the Zerg, planning to leave the Eternal Realm together when the Zerg Mother Empress Elise returned to the Zerg territory after her visit, and finally returned to the Terran through the Zerg territory, but was rejected by the Zerg.
Later, the Zerg side informed the Demon Eye Emperor of the matter.
The Demon Eye Emperor immediately ordered Qin Yue's arrest and a public trial today.
Scene after scene, almost completely recreated.
"Qin Yue, you have secretly contacted the Zerg and intend to break away from my mechanical clan, but is there such a thing?" The Demon Eye Emperor stopped drinking, and his expression was not angry and arrogant.
Qin Yue frowned slightly, and then said very calmly: "Yes, the Blood Skull Emperor once promised me that as long as I cracked the secret of Jiuding, he would allow me to bury the remains of my parents in the Terran territory, so I ......"
Without waiting for Qin Yue to finish speaking, the Demon Eye Emperor turned his head to look at the Blood Skeleton Emperor and asked, "Blood Skeleton Emperor, is there such a thing?" ”
"Nonsense, when did I say that?"
The Blood Skull Emperor spoke, with a terrifying majesty, sitting high on the throne, surrounded by a cloud of chaotic blood light, mysterious and powerful.
At this moment, Qin Yue had a bad premonition and realized that he had been deceived.
In fact, if you think about it, you know that he has come into contact with so many core secrets of the mechanical clan, how could the mechanical clan let him go.
I'm afraid that on the day he proposed to leave the Eternal Realm, the Automaton was already planning to die.
As for today's trial, it is estimated that it is also for those aliens who have taken refuge in the mechanical race.
After all, Qin Yue, as an academician of the First Scientific Research Institute of the Mechanical Race, if he killed him directly if he didn't have a legitimate reason, he was afraid that it would chill the hearts of all the aliens.
Just for the sake of acting in a scene, even an existence like the Black Emperor was alarmed, and Qin Yue didn't know whether to cry or be proud for a while.
"Qin Yue, what else do you have to say now?" The Demon Eye Emperor said coldly.
"What else can I say, anyway, horizontal and vertical will be a death, no matter how much you say, you will turn black and white upside down, why waste your tongue." Qin Yue scoffed, looking up at the Demon Eye Emperor and the mechanical jury behind him.
"Hmph, my mechanical clan treats you well, but you plan to take my clan's secrets to the human race, so ungrateful, wolf-hearted, it's intolerable not to kill you." A mechanical warlord said indifferently.
In this regard, Qin Yue showed contempt and said, "Is this the excuse you have come up with in every possible way?" ”
Although he knew that he had come into contact with too many secrets of the mechanical race, if he expressed his desire to leave one day, he might be killed.
But at this time, it was still difficult to let go, only a long sigh.
"If you feel wronged, you can show evidence to prove your innocence, and my mechanical clan will definitely deal with it impartially." A sneer appeared at the corner of the Demon Eye Emperor's mouth, and he said hypocritically.
"You are clearly an undercover agent of my mechanical clan sent by the human race, with ill intentions, and your plans are very big, but it is ridiculous that my clan still entrusts you with important tasks and strives to cultivate." Another machine warlord spoke.
"I was born in the Mechanics since I was a child, how can I be an undercover agent sent by the Terrans?"
Qin Yue's voice was very high, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at all the mechanical clans present: "I ask myself if I have worked hard for the mechanical clan all these years, and I have not dared to slack off, you ask yourself, but there is a half-lie, and now you are repaying it like this?!" ”
There was an air of injustice in his body, which was difficult to let go.
I think he has worked hard for decades, worked diligently all the way, and almost died of overwork several times, but he was treated like this by the mechanical people.
He asked himself that his efforts over the years were enough to be worthy of the cultivation of the mechanical clan.
Now he just wants to bring the remains of his parents back to his hometown for burial, but he is not allowed, and even kills people.
The body of the Blood Skull Emperor is as crystal as blood jade, his eyes are scarlet, the blood and light in his pupils are flowing, and he has a kind of transcendent temperament, at this time, he opened his mouth plainly, and said: "The human heart is sinister, this is the best interpretation of your human race, if you have no ghosts in your heart, why don't you directly show it and contact the Zerg privately, what are you trying to do?" ”
"Haha, the dog is invincible, this is the best description of your Blood Skull Emperor, now this is all your clansmen, why do you need to play it again, just take off the disguise, just shameless, and use these high-sounding reasons?" Qin Yue sneered.
The Blood Skull Emperor had a gloomy expression, sitting there high, and the intense killing intent came out of his body, pressing Qin Yue almost out of breath.
"Why should the Blood Skull Emperor be angry, such criminals are punished by their own laws."
The Demon Eye Emperor was condescending, his eyes looked around the audience, and he said indifferently: "Ladies and gentlemen, Qin Yue secretly colluded with the Zerg and tried to betray my mechanical clan, the facts are clear, and now I announce that I will deprive Qin Yue of the title of academician of the First Scientific Research Institute and sentence him to death, which will be executed immediately!" ”
"Now you don't even need to ask the jury's opinion? You're really straightforward. ”
Qin Yue completely calmed down, and he didn't want to say anything more.
"Qin Yue, for the sake of your contribution to my mechanical clan, I allow you to say a few last words." The Demon Eye Emperor spoke.
Qin Yue was silent, what else could he say, they were all people from the other party here, even if he had a three-inch tongue, he couldn't explain it reasonably.
"Qin Yue, everything in this world is not absolute, my mechanical clan does not want to kill them all, as long as you can crack the secret of Jiuding and make meritorious contributions, you may be exempted from capital crimes, and even regain your freedom." Black Emperor Road.
Since the beginning of the trial, the strongest war emperor of the mechanical clan has spoken for the first time, and in his words, he actually intends to give Qin Yue a glimmer of life.
However, Qin Yue closed his eyes and ignored it.
Several Mechanical Clan War Sects were about to step forward to escort Qin Yue and rush to the execution ground, but the Black Emperor waved his hand, signaling them to be calm and calm, and then continued to speak: "You are still young, why bother to kill yourself, why take a step back and open the sky, this is the wisest choice." ”
"I haven't helped you crack the secret of Jiuding and will be wiped out, if it is really solved, will I still be able to live?" Qin Yue sneered.
Whether to die now, or to be completely used up by the mechanical clan and then die, he would rather choose the former.
The faces of the Black Emperor and the others were plain and natural, without the slightest embarrassment and ugliness of being broken.
"Qin Yue, you are a smart person, with your talent, as long as you can endure your temperament, you will definitely be able to break through a world in my mechanical race, why do you have to return to the human race?" The Blood Skull Emperor also opened his mouth to persuade him.
"That's a good word, if you want me to continue to work for your mechanical clan, it's better to be directly enslaved by souls." Qin Yue said.
The Blood Skull Emperor frowned, in fact, they had secretly tried to cast the Soul Enslavement Secret Method on Qin Yue.
It's just that Qin Yue has already carved a ban in Zhihai, and once Zhihai is forcibly invaded, his divine soul will immediately explode itself.
If it weren't for that, they would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now.
"That's it, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced, so let's be put down for execution." The Black Emperor sank his face, gave up decisively, and let Qin Yue be taken down.
Although Qin Yue is a rare talent, loyalty is the most important thing for the mechanical clan.
Since Qin Yue was unwilling to continue to work for the mechanical clan, then there was no need for him to live.
After all, only the dead can keep secrets forever.
The Temple of Eternity, the square in front of the temple.
In order not to stain the temple with blood, the execution ground was set up outside the temple, and now Qin Yue was escorted here and was about to be beheaded.
He stood in the temple square, turned around, and looked at the entire Eternal Realm, his expression was a little complicated, as if he was reluctant.
"Do you still have to come this far?" Qin Yue whispered.
The next moment, the surface of his body began to glow, and layer after layer of formation patterns came out of his body, quickly building a brilliant channel, and he didn't know where it was connected.
"It's not good, it's a space channel, this kid has engraved the space formation pattern in his body, even if he is sealed, he can activate it at a critical moment!"
In the Temple of Eternity, a mechanical war lord had a divine light in his eyes, and he instantly understood the mystery.
As soon as his words fell, Qin Yue's whole person turned into a streamer and disappeared into the passage, and disappeared in an instant.
However, all the mechanical people who saw this scene always looked extremely calm, and they didn't seem to be worried that Qin Yue would flee at all.
In fact, even Qin Yue himself felt that there was little hope.
Although he had completely activated the spatial array in his body and turned on the spatial teleportation, in front of the Battle Emperor-level powerhouse, the spatial teleportation was not absolute.
Sure enough, there was a roar, as if something had exploded, shaking the space.
Then, an afterimage appeared behind Qin Yue, it was the mechanical tentacle of the Demon Eye Emperor.
In addition, a sea of blood condensed, and the Blood Skull Emperor suddenly appeared in the spatial passage, and he also wanted to hunt down Qin Yue.
This is the War Emperor-level powerhouse, even if you turn on the spatial teleportation, they can shatter the void and forcibly enter the passage.
At this time, the situation was critical, and Qin couldn't afford to think about it.
Facing the pursuit of the two great emperor-level powerhouses of the Blood Skull Emperor and the Demon Eye Emperor, he was powerless to resist with only the strength of the peak generals.
The only thing that can be done is to destroy the entire spatial passage, so as to cause the space to collapse and block the pursuit of the Blood Skull Emperor and the Demon Eye Emperor.
It's just that once the space collapses, Qin Yue himself will not be able to protect himself, and it is very likely that without the Blood Skeleton Emperor and their action, Qin Yue will die under the spatial turbulence.
"Fight, it's a death anyway."
Qin Yue was ruthless in his heart, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and directly wiped out the spatial formation in his body.
Originally, the entire spatial passage was constructed by the spatial pattern in his body, and now the formation pattern was worn out, which immediately caused the spatial channel to collapse.
In an instant, the violent spatial turbulence passed through the collapsed spatial passage, sweeping towards Qin Yue, as well as the Blood Skeleton Emperor and the Demon Eye Emperor who were chasing after him.
This time, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the mechanical clan, Qin Yue completely let go, and broke the seal with the help of the spatial power of the spatial formation in his body to wipe out the eruption, and directly rushed into the spatial turbulence.
In just an instant, he was swept into the depths of space by the spatial turbulence.
Behind, the Blood Skull Emperor and the Demon Eye Emperor had gloomy expressions.
The violent spatial turbulence ravaged the void, obstructing their vision and making it impossible for their divine sense to lock on to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue fled from under their noses like this.
"He actually knows how to use the collapse of the space passage to get rid of the pursuit, this Qin Yue is a little clever."
With a low mechanical voice resounding in the void, the spatial turbulence that had been raging and raging seemed to be frozen in ice, frozen in the void.
Then, the Black Emperor's huge mechanical dragon body appeared out of thin air in front of the Blood Skull Emperor and the Demon Eye Emperor.
"Black Emperor, that Qin Yue ......"
"It's okay, he can't escape, not to mention that he is trapped in the turbulence of space this time, whether he can survive is still two words."
The Black Emperor spoke in a low voice, and two meteorite-sized mechanical dragon eyes stared into the depths of space.
The next moment, with the slight sound of mechanical operation, countless pitch-black cannon barrels slowly extended from the Black Emperor's huge mechanical dragon.
