Chapter 281: A Few Matters on Transformation

A dense Blood Mist permeated the Atmosphere. If observed from Cosmic Space, one could faintly see that the Blood Mist had already covered about two-thirds of the entire planet's surface area.

In the continuously churning Blood Mist, huge bloody eyeballs surfaced from time to time. Hideous bloodshot veins filled the pupils as they gazed at the Earth below.

A massive amount of body parts were piled together. This looked like a Blood Flesh Temple that hadn't been completely built yet. A foul-smelling river of blood collected broken body parts from everywhere and converged here.

Countless devout Believers knelt in pools of blood. They were all Citizens of the Hengfeng System, even still wearing their own clothes. However, now they all had fanatical expressions, chanting something in low voices.

Looking down from above, there was no end in sight; it was densely packed with kneeling Believers.

Within the Blood Flesh Temple, dozens of Evil God Cultists gathered together, shrouded under blood-colored robes. Before them was a screen formed from a pool of blood.

It was divided into many screens. Some screens would zoom in and out from time to time, allowing one to clearly see––

A Blue-Red Mechanical Body over ten meters tall, wielding a Metal Utility Pole, swept away the Blood Beasts in front of her. Blood sprayed all over the ground, and in the next moment, she transformed into a galloping giant truck, driving across the Earth.

That was a large Transport Vehicle produced by Azure Bird Heavy Automotive. The Evil God Cultists who had been lurking in the Hengfeng System for several years recognized this vehicle.

Even in one screen, overwhelming arrays of tanks, Transport Vehicles, and helicopter formations were marching majestically in a certain direction.

Whenever they encountered Blood Beasts blocking the way, they would transform into Mechanical Bodies and sweep away everything.

The Blood Beasts on the road were almost completely crushed by them. This was a mechanical army that emerged from some Military Base, with astonishing combat power.

Countless Mechanical Lifeforms, whether transformed from cars, tanks, or even Portable Smart Devices.

From everywhere in the Hengfeng System, regardless of size, whether powerful or not, regardless of speed, all steadfastly headed in a certain direction.

Various scenes fell into the eyes of the Evil God Cultists. Their expressions were ugly. One Believer spoke up: "According to the observations of the divine eye, starting yesterday, these bizarre Mechanical Lifeforms have been continuously appearing on Planet Abundant Star."

"And they clashed with the Blood Beasts, causing massive casualties among the Blood Beasts, even damaging the corpses; these are all food for God!"

Another Believer added: "What are they? They don't seem to be outsiders; many things are indigenous creations of Planet Abundant Star."

The leading Priest said: "I don't know. These things appeared almost simultaneously across the entire Planet Abundant Star, marching majestically and sweeping away everything, just like... like us..."

The terrifying atmosphere of the entire decisive battle fell silent for a moment before a Believer slowly spoke: "Does the Priest mean there is also a Divine Spirit behind them?"

"Taking machines as Believers, or even creations? Who is it? Forging God-Craftsman?"

His words silenced the place again. Forging God-Craftsman––one of the Twelve Main God Council Members, and also one of the extremely ancient Chief God Councilors.

The Forging God-Craftsman had experienced the succession of at least three Chief God Councilors. He was an uncompromising veteran, and at the same time, his Strength was unfathomable.

In several Divine Wars, the Forging God-Craftsman almost always kept out of it. His Believers almost never caused trouble, loved forging and research, and had climbed the Technology tree to an extremely high level.

That was an existence on the same level as their God of Gods, Nightmare Knight.

The Priest shook his head: "The Forging God-Craftsman wouldn't turn his gaze to these two small planets."

"It could be a certain Old Friend of God, or it could be some method of Return Star, because such a situation hasn't occurred on Planet Eternal Distance."

He waved his hand casually, and the pool of blood formed a 3D model of Planet Abundant Star, slowly rotating and continuously dripping viscous liquid.

"According to trajectory calculations, the paths of these Mechanical Lifeforms cross and overlap, converging in the same place."

Countless fine blood threads coiled around the entire Planet Abundant Star, eventually converging in a certain place, forming a giant blood sphere.

The model continuously enlarged. When the coordinates were confirmed, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"It's Shelter No. 1?"

"Isn't Ted right there? Return Star's support is also there. Is this matter related to them?"

"..."

Facing the successive questions, a deeply hidden fanaticism appeared in the Priest's profound eyes: "All doubts will be answered there."

"The plan is advanced; the encirclement and annihilation begins!"

Many Believers clearly hadn't expected this decision and couldn't help but feel a bit worried: "The encirclement and annihilation begins directly? Without the support of the High Priest, can we do it alone?"

"Rest assured, the High Priest has already entrusted the Divine Child to me. With the power of the Divine Child, they will definitely have nowhere to escape!"

The Priest raised his hands high and shouted loudly: "The great God is watching us; we will definitely succeed!"

"Will definitely succeed!"

The Believers all shouted loudly in unison, exceptionally fanatical.

.........

"Mom... I've felt recently that there's someone else in the cave..." A Young Child in ragged clothes tugged at his Mother and whispered.

"Where is there anyone..." The gentle Mother squatted down, stroked her son's face, and forced a smile:

"I'm going to collect food. The food in the Shelter has become much more abundant recently. Maybe we'll be able to go out soon. You have to be good at home."

The Young Child nodded in ignorance, pursed his lips, and didn't continue speaking.

The woman stood up, pushed aside the sack covering the entrance of the cave, and prepared to collect food, while outside were people just like her.

Watching his Mother leave, the Young Child curled up in the corner, seemingly preparing to sleep. His breathing became even and gradually lightened, seemingly asleep.

A moment later, an Old Radio placed on a dilapidated Table, which had long been useless, actually emitted bursts of coughing sounds.

Its body rapidly transformed, hunching its mechanical body. Electric sparks permeated all over its body, looking like it had been in disrepair for years. Black smoke puffed from its mouth, seemingly ready to break down in the next second.

"Getting old... getting old..." It shook its head, tightened its own screws, patted its feet that hadn't completely transformed, and sighed heavily.

"What... are you...!" The Young Child in the corner, who was supposedly "asleep," stared dumbfounded at the Old Radio before him.

"Ah...!" The Old Radio was startled, hurriedly jumped up, and quickly retracted back into its Radio state. Unfortunately, the two grayish-black mechanical legs failed to assemble in time and remained exposed.

After waiting a moment, the Old Radio transformed back as if accepting its fate. Its gloomy eyes stared at the chubby Young Child in front of it and muttered: "What a cunning kid, just like your Dad when he was little."

"You've seen my Dad?" The Young Child's eyes gleamed. Not caring about fear, he ran forward and asked.

"Of course I've seen him. I was bought by your grandfather. I witnessed your Dad's growth, and also your birth..."

The Old Radio hunched its body, occasionally pounding its mechanical waist, coughing up two puffs of black smoke.

"Have you always been like this?" The Young Child's big eyes were full of curiosity.

"Of course not. I was only granted life yesterday by the great Primordial Heavenly Venerable." The old man shook his head.

"Primordial Heavenly Venerable?" The Young Child repeated the name.

"That's right, the great Primordial Heavenly Venerable, also our Creator. We follow his commands." The old man's words were filled with reverence.

"Oh..." The Young Child found it somewhat difficult to understand the Old Radio's words, then asked again: "Then can you tell me about my Dad?"

"Of course..." The Old Radio looked at the Young Child before it, "But you must promise me not to tell this to anyone else."

"Why?"

"Because Primordial Heavenly Venerable commanded that our kind in this Base should not appear before humans for now." The old man added.

"Alright, let's pinky swear..."

.........

"Damn it, recently I always feel like someone is peeping at me." Hunter walked into the room Muttering Curses, seeming somewhat paranoid.

"And when I brushed my teeth this morning, I could even hear my electric toothbrush cursing my bad breath. Are you sure you didn't spread some virus two days ago? I'm having auditory hallucinations..."

"If you did spread some virus, just give me the vaccine, I won't condemn you."

Li Yu sat in his chair, doing who knows what, with many electronic devices placed before him.

Hearing Hunter's words, Li Yu was somewhat Speechless. He originally wanted to tell him the truth, but now he couldn't be bothered with this guy.

Plonking his Buttocks onto a chair, Hunter continued: "You've been zoning out for two or three days. Do you have any other plans? If not, let's retreat."

"What's the rush..." Li Yu shook his head: "I plan to contact that Helle, to ask about Rohan's specific situation. She must know better than us."

"It's been days, and you just remembered?" Hunter stared at Li Yu suspiciously.

"I was busy with things before..." Li Yu shook his head. Hunter always felt Li Yu was hiding something from him but couldn't find any evidence.

Quickly arriving in Outer Space, far away from Quantum Communication Disruption, he opened his contacts and found the Helle whom he had almost never contacted.

Clicking to communicate, a moment later––"The other party has declined"

Uh... Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. After thinking for a moment, he drafted a message and sent it over. A moment later... he initiated the communication again.

......

Radiant Council, on one of the satellites near the Dark Night Sanctuary. In the empty sanctuary, black veils fluttered. Before the large bed in the center, a figure knelt prostrate.

He was completely naked, with lean and strong muscles. His body was covered in crimson whip marks. A black collar bound his neck, and his hands were tied behind his back.

The fluttering veil brushed against his cheek, the ticklish sensation making his breathing rapid.

On the bed, Hel posed in an Alluring posture, her fair skin forming a strong visual contrast with the black veil.

She put away the Smart Terminal, a smile on the corners of her mouth. Staring at the figure under the bed, she teased: "Xia En, do you know who just contacted me?"

Xia En looked up, quietly listening to Hel's next words.

"Li Yu..." Hel spat out two words, causing Xia En's pupils to contract. How could he forget this name.

Hel added: "Speaking of which, it was his whimsical ideas that opened the door to a new world for me. Seeing you kneeling before me in such a posture truly makes my heart surge..."

Xia En's expression was Moody, but eventually calmed down, "Then why did you decline?"

"The person behind him is the key. He is ultimately just a nobody with no exploitation value." Hel shook her head, appearing cold and heartless.

It seems she doesn't know... Xia En's mind stirred. He had been keeping an eye on this "Old Friend", and some recent events had greatly shocked him.

"Ding dong!" The Smart Terminal rang again. Hel frowned slightly, glanced at it, and found it was a message from Li Yu––"How about you look up my name on the Interstellar Network first before deciding whether to hang up..."

Hel frowned slightly, originally wanting to just block him. But seeing that line of text, she casually opened the Interstellar Network and searched this name.

Immediately, a massive amount of information and data floated before her. Staring at the lines of small text, Hel's expression gradually became solemn, and even somewhat surprised.

"...It is speculated that Baron Li Yu is now an A-Tier Lifeform. We should celebrate; this Baron who holds Return Star in his heart is worthy of this glory..."

Although Li Yu never paid attention to it, many news commentators on Return Star's network were currently following him. Although the hype had died down, the group discussing him had always been there.

"Master-Class Lifeform!?" Hel's expression changed slightly. A Master-Class Lifeform would be respected no matter where they were.

In the Radiant Council, a Master-Class Lifeform already had the qualification to become a Subordinate Deity. Even she couldn't ignore him.

More importantly, how long had it been for Li Yu? He had already become a Master-Class Lifeform; his growth speed was too astonishing.

Subsequently, the communication connection rang again. It was Li Yu. Hel's expression flickered, and this time, she didn't choose to decline again.

"Her Highness Hel, long time no see..." Li Yu smiled, behind him the profound Starry Sky of the Universe.

"Indeed, long time no see. The events on Heavenly Desolation Star are still Vividly Remembered." Hel also sighed, a strange flush on her face.

The two of them tacitly forgot about the matter of declining the communication just now and happily exchanged pleasantries.

After exchanging a few words, Li Yu Got Straight to the Point, "Your Highness, how much do you know about Rohan?"

"Rohan, the God of Flesh and Filth, one of the Subordinate Deities of the Nightmare Knight..." Hel's expression flickered, as if guessing something: "What, did you encounter him?"

"Yes..." Li Yu sighed, switching the Camera Lens. Planet Abundant Star and Planet Eternal Distance, shrouded in Blood Mist, appeared in the lens.

"Sinking Blood Mist, indeed Rohan's method..." Hel nodded, becoming much more solemn: "His Believers are extremely patient. They can hide on a planet for years, even over a decade, to set up Flesh and Blood Quagmires..."

"Once the Sinking Blood Mist erupts, in as much as three months or as little as one month, the entire planet can be Blood Sacrificed."

Li Yu nodded. He had some speculations before, because the speed at which the Hengfeng System fell was too fast; in just one month, it had almost completely fallen.

Now it seemed that Rohan's Believers must have done a lot of prior preparation to be able to occupy the entire planet in a short time.

Hel carefully observed the two planets for a moment and reminded: "Rohan's Believers are exceptionally highly efficient Believers among the gods. Looking at the state of these two planets, the Blood Sacrifice should start immediately. You need to be careful."
