Chapter 293: Harvest and Divine Name

"The battle has already been won. Is Commander Hannes still going to run away?" Li Yu's voice was faint and cold, seemingly a bit different from before.

Hannes smiled awkwardly and hurriedly shook his head: "Not at all, I just wanted to report this news as soon as possible to avoid the High Echelon mobilizing additional military support."

Previously, due to the increase in the enemy's Strength, Hannes had once again requested backup.

"No rush..." Li Yu's hand pressed on Hannes's shoulder, just like when they first met, but unfortunately, the current Hannes had already lost the courage to resist.

"Open the highest Authority of the Patrol Fleet and let my Artificial Intelligence connect." Li Yu's tone was indifferent, without the slightest intention of negotiating.

Hannes knew Li Yu was preparing to erase all traces of the recent battle, or more accurately, all traces of the 【Apostle】.

By connecting to the highest Authority of the Patrol Fleet, Li Yu could arbitrarily modify the explicit video evidence.

Hannes felt apprehensive inside but had no ability to resist. Li Yu preparing to delete the video evidence first at least proved he had no intention of going on a killing spree.

"No problem..." After a moment of silence, Hannes slowly nodded.

What remained were integrated complex Mechanical Restraints and large warships. With the highest Authority, Claptrap basically didn't need to spend much effort.

He deleted all the battle videos and left numerous backdoors for unexpected needs.

"Any other orders?" Hannes's current attitude could be described as fawning.

It couldn't be helped; who told him to feel apprehensive about Li Yu's attitude? At least until Li Yu showed killing intent, he didn't want to fall out either.

"Let's handle the remaining miscellaneous matters first..." Li Yu was Noncommittal and shifted the topic.

Both of them had a Tacit Understanding to not mention the matter of the 【Apostle】.

The entire battlefield was already completely unrecognizable. The Magma welling up from Underground had cooled and filled the ravines and cracks on the ground, but still emitted a blazing heat.

If one looked down from a distant orbit, they could clearly see the massive cracks on the continental plate of Planet Abundant Star.

Although the crisis of the Evil God invasion was resolved, the trauma of this incident to the Hengfeng System was permanent.

Because the entire Planet Eternal Distance had been subjected to Blood Sacrifice, there were almost no normally surviving lifeforms left on it.

The natural environment was also severely damaged. Under normal circumstances, relying on the planet's own repair abilities, it was almost impossible to recover.

"Old man, don't worry too much..." Hunter stood next to Gober: "Under planet-level Ecological Regulation Devices, your place can recover in a year at most."

After Gober's brief excitement, what followed was endless sorrow. He forced a smile: "The environment can be restored, but the people..."

Hunter shook his head and sighed, not saying much. When he was still serving in the Star Glory Empire, he had seen this kind of situation many times.

No one could do anything; they could only rely on time for self-regulation.

The Transformers all looked at Li Yu with reverence, and the surrounding soldiers also carried solemn respect and unspeakable gratitude, spontaneously making way.

Li Yu looked around; a massive number of gazes were concentrated on him. To this, he only had three words: "We have won."

The name of Primordial Heavenly Venerable resounded across the Earth. The soldiers raised the Weapons in their hands, expressing their inner excitement. Fortunately, they didn't do something stupid like wildly firing into the sky.

"What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like something is off with you?" Amidst the cheers, Hunter leaned in and asked in a low voice.

"The Advancement was too crude and left some hidden dangers, but it's not a big problem." Li Yu shook his head, then walked towards the Shelter.

Leaving aside the issue of hidden dangers, just normally sustaining this battle to the end would be very exhausting. After all, the opponent wasn't a Normal A-Tier Lifeform.

Watching Li Yu's departing back, Hannes secretly clenched his fists. Did you think I wouldn't know you would delete the videos? I prepared for this long ago...

Suddenly, Li Yu's footsteps paused. Hannes's heart skipped a beat, almost wondering if he had accidentally spoken his thoughts out loud.

"Commander Hannes, don't stay on the ground anymore. If you stay on the ground, I really can't feel at ease." Li Yu's voice transmitted into his ears.

Hannes took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Coming!"

.........

Not long after, in the passages of the Shelter, a large number of ragged survivors slowly walked up.

Their eyes were mixed with confusion and apprehension. Although the sky was still shrouded by the Sinking Blood Mist, when they stepped onto the long-lost Earth, crystal tears couldn't help but well up in their eyes.

Many survivors knelt on the Earth as if their bones had been removed, sobbing continuously and murmuring the names of their relatives.

A massive number of Transformers wandered on the Earth. Their electronic eyes showed great confusion towards the bizarre behavior of these people.

Gober slowly walked out from the crowd. The weathered old man's face carried a resolute look, and his eyes, which should have been cloudy, were still bright and piercing.

"Everyone..." His voice wasn't loud, but it gradually made the low whimpers here disappear, and a large number of confused gazes gathered on him.

"In a short period of time, we suffered tremendous changes..."

Although Gober's words were plain, they were full of strength, and the eyes of these survivors gradually lit up.

"...Under the support of Lord Primordial Heavenly Venerable and... these Allies, we ultimately achieved victory..."

Gober's words carried reverence and love. He originally wanted to include Returning Star, but remembering Hannes's cold face, he ultimately left Returning Star out.

He had participated in many meetings. In his view, it was Li Yu's persistence that prevented the Hengfeng System from completely disappearing.

He didn't know anything about Theft of Faith, A-grade Mental Power possessors, or 【Apostle】. He only knew that it was Li Yu who ultimately saved them, and that was enough.

Mentioning Li Yu... that is, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the surrounding Transformers suddenly became energized and gathered around, listening to this old man blabbering.

Inside the Shelter, Li Yu sat on a chair, a highly concentrated Nutritional Potion in his mouth. Many empty test tubes had already piled up on the ground.

This made his condition much better. In his hands, he held a mass of flesh and blood concentrated to the extreme, with a layer of blood light swirling on its surface. If one could look through the blood light and zoom in tens of thousands of times.

They could clearly see that the scarlet flesh and blood were constantly tangling, and they could even discover those hideous and twisted incomplete faces.

Although this thing looked only the size of a fist, it had condensed the flesh and blood of all living beings on the entire Planet Eternal Distance.

Li Yu stared at this thing. He had no intention of destroying it. Although it looked evil, the Energy contained within was indeed very terrifying.

However, he had no intention of absorbing it. In his other hand appeared a blood egg; it was exactly Rohan's Divine Child.

When both appeared simultaneously, it was as if a certain attraction was generated, wanting to approach each other.

However, they were interrupted by Li Yu, who put both away again. This egg hadn't become one of his own yet, so he couldn't let it Devour this mass of flesh and blood.

Rubbing his head, he casually opened the personal System of the 【Titan Colonization Armor】 to detect the integration progress of his Gene Chains.

After all, passing through this massive battle, and even having it broken once, with the buff of the 【Golden Blood Talent】, the Gene Chain Development Progress must have increased a lot.

In fact, when his body recovered to its peak state, he already felt an increase in Strength.

And indeed it was true. Detected by special Instruments, his Gene Chain Development Progress had reached 10%.

And how much time had passed since he became an A-Tier Lifeform? If this news got out, it would probably cause another huge uproar.

This battle had increased the Gene Chain Development Progress by a full 3%, a terrifying speed.

The 【Golden Blood Talent】 was indeed very powerful, truly worthy of the "Little Saiyan" nickname he jokingly gave it.

However, this was also because he possessed the passive skill 【Near-Death Rebirth】, otherwise even a purebred Golden Blood Tribesman couldn't fight in this manner.

Unfortunately, this Talent developed slowly with the intensity of the battle; it wasn't just about getting heavily injured, otherwise, Li Yu could exploit the bug.

However, the most important thing was becoming an A-grade Mental Power possessor, able to pilot the 【Apostle】 in combat. At least it wasn't just an empty shell to look at anymore.

With this, he initially possessed the self-preservation ability to participate in major events like the fracturing of the Amethyst Civilization, avoiding unexpected capsizing incidents.

Pondering for a moment, Hunter knocked and entered. He glanced at Li Yu and, noticing his condition had improved considerably, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That old man Gober wants to see you later to discuss what to do with those mechanical constructs."

As if thinking of something, Hunter hesitated: "That old man's attitude towards you is a bit strange. I suspect his preferences aren't right. You should be careful."

Li Yu was a bit Speechless. The Transformers on this planet were just an experiment of his, but they had also played a major role.

However, Li Yu definitely wouldn't take them away. First of all, there were too many, and he had no vehicle to accommodate them.

Secondly, their Strength was too low, and taking them away would be useless.

He could only leave them on Planet Abundant Star. But after all, they were a race that called him Creator, so he had to handle this matter properly, Li Yu pondered.

"Forget it, I'll go find him." Li Yu stood up and walked out of the room.

The survivors they met on the way all showed grateful expressions towards Li Yu. They carried longing and aspiration, preparing to return to the surface.

Most people were Alone; only a very small portion grouped in twos and threes, heading above ground through the corridors.

Seeing Li Yu approach, everyone hurriedly made way, letting him pass first.

Hannes was forced to stay by Li Yu's side. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but groan.

Arriving on the surface, a large number of survivors gathered around Gober, seemingly discussing something.

"Ten meters is too short, it has to be a hundred meters!" Someone shouted loudly.

"A hundred meters is also short, a thousand meters will do."

Even Transformers joined the discussion, their voices carrying unique mechanical characteristics.

"It must be ten thousand meters high!"

"..."

The discussion rose and fell, and Li Yu gradually understood what they were discussing.

They were actually discussing building a commemorative statue for him.

"Primordial Heavenly Venerable!" Someone shouted loudly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Gober hurriedly rushed forward: "Why are you here? I was just preparing to go down and report to you."

The surroundings hurriedly scattered. Almost no one dared to stand around him. Li Yu felt a bizarre sensation.

His gaze gradually became majestic, making people not dare to look directly. Through his A-grade Mental Power, Li Yu could sense subtle white light linking from Gober to himself.

He looked around; most soldiers basically had them. Only upon reaching an A-Tier Lifeform could one see these Faiths.

Therefore, the minimum requirement to be called a Subordinate Deity was to be an A-Tier Lifeform.

This is natural Faith? Li Yu was somewhat surprised. He originally wanted to convert this group of people into Believers to completely eradicate the possibility of the 【Apostle】 leaking.

But looking at it now, it wasn't necessary. This group of people had actually become his Believers directly.

However, upon careful thought, it didn't seem too surprising.

After all, he defeated the Evil God Avatar head-on, and the 【Apostle】 inherently possessed certain Divine Characteristics. Plus, that group of Transformers howling names like Creator every day.

It would be strange if this group of people who witnessed the whole process of his battle with their own eyes didn't believe in him.

Subsequently, he remembered Hunter's words again. So this was the reason for Gober's bizarre attitude; it turned out he became his Believer.

"Just make something simple..." Li Yu didn't dwell too much on the statue; he didn't care too much about this issue.

"Understood..." Gober nodded piously, then spoke with anticipation and hope: "We want to request you to leave behind those respectable Mechanical Lifeforms."

"Oh?" Li Yu was slightly surprised, then realized. For Believers, Mechanical Lifeforms were his creations, carrying extraordinary meaning.

"No problem..." Li Yu naturally didn't refuse; he hadn't planned on taking the Transformers away anyway.

"Then... what should we call you?" Gober continued to ask: "How should we preach you to outsiders? Is Primordial Heavenly Venerable your Divine Name?"

"Did they become your Believers?" Hunter finally had some guesses and asked.

"Pretty much..." Li Yu answered.

"Outrageous... you're actually going to become a god..." Hunter felt it was somewhat unbelievable, and reminded him: "Your Divine Name cannot use the Interstellar Common Language."

"A Divine Name is the sole guide pointing to a Divine Spirit. Although Rohan is called the Lord of Filth, his actual Divine Name is extremely complex, composed of multiple languages."

"No wonder those Priests often say obscure and difficult-to-understand things." Li Yu realized, then looked at Hunter somewhat strangely: "How do you know this?"

"I am the Captain of an advanced fleet after all. Isn't it normal to know this?" Hunter was a bit Speechless and reminded him again: "Being a Divine Spirit isn't easy."

"I know." Li Yu nodded. After thinking for a while, he looked at Gober again and spat out a string of language that sounded extremely obscure and difficult to understand to outsiders: "Lord of Mechanical Creation, Explorer of Alternate Dimensions, Omniscient and Omnipotent God––Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

"Lord of Mechanical Creation, Explorer of Alternate Dimensions, Omniscient and Omnipotent God––Primordial Heavenly Venerable!" Gober repeated. Hearing Gober's words, Li Yu's expression seemed somewhat nostalgic.

It's been a long time since I heard Chinese...
