Chapter 820: Traversing the Barren Universe Zone
Just as Li Yu was about to hang up, he saw that Loyd's expression was somewhat hesitant, as if he had something to say.
"What, do you still have something?" Li Yu asked with a bit of teasing, "Don't tell me you want to wish me success in my Evolution."
Loyd subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but suddenly realized it would be very inappropriate, so halfway through, it turned into a nod.
This resulted in his large face drawing a semicircle on the screen, which was quite comical.
Looking at Li Yu's wide grin, Loyd felt even more Speechless and spoke up: "Originally, the Empire's High Echelons wanted to seek your cooperation on a certain matter."
"Cooperation?" Li Yu was slightly taken aback, his imagination running wild.
Now that The Forerunners had basically been eliminated, and the Star Glory Empire had no intention to Unify the Galaxy, what else could they possibly need his cooperation for?
Loyd didn't Keep in Suspense and continued immediately: "To deal with The Overseers. You also know that for... us, The Overseers are a hidden danger."
"If our two sides cooperate, we should be able to completely eliminate them."
However, he naturally wouldn't leak this information. Instead, he pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "Then that's really unfortunate. Let's talk about it after I evolve into a Super Lifeform."
You speak as if you're definitely going to succeed,Loyd muttered inwardly.
But this matter was indeed not urgent. Anyway, they had already waited this long.
"Then I wish Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign a smooth Evolution," Loyd forced back the sour feeling in his heart and offered a blessing that he didn't mean.
"Thanks for the auspicious words," Li Yu revealed a smile that made Loyd feel a bit strange.
...
More than half a month later, in front of the Wormhole, a massive amount of Instruments and equipment were operating to assist in stabilizing the Wormhole.
"After I leave, seal the data regarding this place. It cannot be leaked out," Li Yu ordered.
The surrounding researchers all nodded in unison.
Then, the thirteen Primal Transformers, along with some elite Transformers, turned into streams of light and merged into the Symbiotic Bio-Armor.
He wasn't preparing to bring too many Transformers; low-level Transformers wouldn't be of much help to him.
All thirteen Primal Transformers had the potential for Advancement, so he also brought the ones that hadn't advanced yet.
The Titan Artifacts in this Interstellar region were almost Squeezed Dry by him, but there must be quite a few Weapons containing Source Matter in the outside world.
Therefore, he also brought the Supreme Forge with him.
The Eternal Machine God descended, radiating unparalleled might, looking down on everything with disdain.
Without much hesitation, Li Yu brought Andrei and Bloodlust and stepped inside with one stride.
"Beep, beep, beep, Wormhole overload, please adjust immediately!"
Suddenly, the alarm blared violently, and the complexions of numerous researchers instantly changed.
"How could this happen? We clearly tested it, and there were no problems."
"Could it be that Lord Dragon Sovereign is too strong, and the Spatial Channel can't bear it?"
Peyton ordered calmly: "Don't panic. Activate the Wormhole's auxiliary stabilization equipment."
The numerous researchers immediately performed their respective duties. As a large number of Instruments and equipment trembled continuously, the Wormhole gradually stabilized.
...
Amidst a Thundercloud-like Spatial Storm, a silvery-white stream of light shuttled at high speed, like a small boat in giant waves, bumping incessantly.
It was exactly Li Yu who had entered the Wormhole. Even though the Wormhole discovered by Ron could save him a portion of the journey, the danger level of the Barren Universe Zone was still difficult to estimate.
He directly used the Eternal Machine God to travel. There were two tiny clusters of light attached to him, which were precisely the two Old geezers, Andrei and Bloodlust.
The Barren Universe Zone was divided into multiple ring zones. With his current Strength, the vast majority of the ring zones would be hard-pressed to pose a threat to him.
The outer ring zone was considered a normal region, where relatively active energy and matter maintained at least temporary stability.
Further in was a turbulent transitional zone, where chaotic Information States and violently denaturing matter, energy, and space entangled together, forming a chaotic storm that surrounded the fragments.
The innermost layer was "Chaos," where distorted Information States and indescribable threats all hid, and the level of madness was extremely terrifying.
The regular Void Storm areas couldn't even pierce his surface Shield.
Of course, they hadn't truly entered the Barren Universe Zone yet; this was just the spatial travel channel constructed by the Wormhole itself.
Li Yu reached the end of the Wormhole channel, and ahead was the specially constructed Spatial Barrier.
It was precisely by utilizing this kind of Spatial Barrier that the Wormhole channel could extend to this degree.
This technology was almost impossible to replicate. According to the research of his subordinates, this Spatial Barrier had an extremely high affinity with the Barren Universe Zone; it didn't extend here by forcefully resisting the Barren Universe Zone.
Thud!
Li Yu directly shuttled through, and before his eyes appeared a boundless Cosmic Space of Chaos Color, where various chaotic Information States entangled here.
And the abrupt appearance of an anomalous organism instantly caused a riot in this region.
A massive number of shadows rushed over from afar, arriving right before his eyes in the blink of an eye.
This was a biological creature that looked extremely bizarre. Its body was enormous, with a length that could almost reach the radius of a standard Life Planet.
Its carapace was grayish-black, covered with fine threads and protrusions.
These protrusions and threads seemed specifically designed to increase its defensive capabilities, because there was no soft spot anywhere on its surface—it didn't even have eyes or a mouth.
On its abdomen were two rows of giant chelipeds, eight legs in each row, and every leg had sharp hooked claws.
Its head was enormous, taking up almost more than half of its body. It had only a very large pointed cone covered with holes, which swallowed the chaotic Information State here.
"This is too bizarre," Li Yu secretly grumbled, and this group of wandering creatures immediately launched an attack.
One by one, the monsters inhaled the chaotic Information State. Streaks of grayish lightning suddenly appeared, wandering across their bodies, and then violently shot out, attacking Li Yu.
Hum!
Light lit up in the Eternal Machine God's eyes. It popped out a massive Energy Barrier to protect the machine body. All the gray lightning bombarded it, exploding into streaks of electric light.
In the next second, the Eternal Machine God began to unleash its terrifying firepower.
Terrifying Energy Cannons bombarded the monsters, blowing scorched gaps in their carapaces, piercing through them with undiminished momentum.
However, normally, after piercing through a few hundred, the attack would lose steam, and the number in front of them was incalculable.
The defensive power of these monsters was truly astonishing. After all, this was an attack from the Eternal Machine God, yet it was difficult to cause large-scale damage.
If it were Dezang or Alfrey and the others, their lethality would probably be even more limited.
But the Eternal Machine God could at least still hold the advantage. One by one, the monsters were easily blasted apart, exploding into scattered biological tissue.
At this time, more and more creatures rushed over. Their numbers seemed endless, showing no fear at all as they advanced wave upon wave to slaughter the Eternal Machine God.
And Li Yu didn't stay in place. Instead, he kept breaking through forward. Under his powerful lethality, his forward speed was not hindered.
Only Andrei watched this scene with trepidation, deeply afraid that with one careless move, he would become food in the mouths of these monsters.
After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings suddenly opened up. Those bizarre-looking monsters gradually dispersed and no longer chased the Eternal Machine God from all directions.
But this didn't mean the danger had passed. Li Yu's expression was solemn. This was the "Chaos" region at the core of the Barren Universe Zone; how could there only be a few monsters?
The reason those guys stopped chasing was probably because there was a more terrifying threat ahead.
Just as this thought surfaced, a burst of brilliant radiance suddenly erupted from somewhere unknown.
"Information State Outburst, Rule Entanglement Phenomenon..." Li Yu's pupils contracted as he Absarbed some information from his surroundings.
The Information State Outburst was okay, but the Rule Entanglement Phenomenon was troublesome.
The Rule Entanglement Phenomenon wasn't a simple clump of matter, energy, or Information States.
Rules were the foundation of the Universe, but in this region, extreme chaos affected the Rules, causing them to undergo an entanglement and distortion phenomenon.
The terrifying nature of Rules didn't need elaboration. The Creator Civilization used the Annihilation Device to affect the Rules, causing the Titans to be on the opposite side of the Universe—it would be hard for them not to perish.
The "Chaos Zone" no longer possessed any stable information structure.
Within this range, there was no matter, nor was there energy. Sometimes, it couldn't even be called Chaos.
This region was just a large mass of meaningless, chaotic Information States—seeming like a flower but not a flower, seeming like a shadow but not a shadow.
But precisely because of this, everything could be distorted, including the Rules.
Now that brilliant curtain of light was rapidly unfolding. The feeling of it rushing head-on was truly thrilling.
The Rule Entanglement Phenomenon was like a giant space, like a bubble floating in the Void.
And now, the front of this space was rippling with rings of colorful patterns.
Indescribable colors rapidly spread along the edge of the Void.
Li Yu felt like he was falling toward an incomparably giant colorful vortex.
His eyes flickered. Andrei swallowed hard. Bloodlust, as an aggregate of consciousness, was even more aware of the danger within.
But whether to charge or not wasn't up to them.
A moment later, Li Yu's eyes narrowed. The Eternal Machine God burst with large-scale Electric Arcs all over its body and violently charged in!
A moment later, some phantom-like things surfaced before Li Yu's eyes.
They looked like giant interstellar humans, but their structure and shape were clearly more complex than interstellar humans.
These continuously surging phantoms—the small ones were only about a hundred meters, while the large ones were several kilometers or even a hundred kilometers tall, their expressions mad and ferocious.
They appeared out of thin air within the Rule Entanglement Phenomenon, rushing toward Li Yu's direction, carrying a bizarre power.
"Titans!?"
Li Yu quickly saw what these things were.
They were actually Titan Phantoms, of every Strength level imaginable.
"Mixed with the space-time chaos region, so that's how it is..." Li Yu generally understood how the Barren Universe Zone was formed.
This group of Titans created the Rule Entanglement Phenomenon here and used a special method to make the Rule Entanglement Phenomenon continuously reappear and constantly destroy this place.
Over time, it formed the Barren Universe Zone.
And the attacks they carried out here at that time also became like phantoms, recording their appearance at the final moment.
This was the truly dangerous moment. Calling this group of phantoms just phantoms was true, but within the Rule Entanglement Phenomenon...
In the next second, they could become physical Entities and smash down with their giant fists.
"They're coming!"
Li Yu focused his attention to face them. This was a violent storm condensed from Information States and Rules.
Piercing yellow-white "Fire" light expanded from a single point, instantly forming a dazzling nova in front of the Eternal Machine God.
And within this mass of light, groups of Titan Phantoms charged at Li Yu. Some were real, and some were just phantoms.
The Eternal Machine God's alarms rang incessantly. The Energy Barrier around its body constantly caved in and then rapidly repaired itself. The five dazzling gems flickered continuously.
The machine body trembled violently, bearing super-strong pressure as terrifying collisions occurred from time to time.
This made Li Yu somewhat unsure whether his preparations were truly sufficient.
This was already the result of him using the Wormhole to bypass nearly half of the Chaos Zone and avoiding a portion of the danger.
No wonder it was difficult for anyone from the outside to rush in, not even Super Lifeforms.
"I refuse to believe it. Eight combined into one, and I still can't charge through!" Li Yu gritted his teeth and madly stepped on the gas pedal.
Unfortunately, the Eternal Core was embedded in the Symbiotic Bio-Armor, and the Eternal Machine God was essentially a derivation of the Symbiotic Bio-Armor.
So he couldn't use his own power to provide Amplification anymore. Otherwise, facing this situation, it would have been somewhat easier.
After an unknown amount of time, the Energy Barrier on the surface of the Eternal Machine God flashed intermittently, seemingly on the verge of Collapse.
The machine body was covered with a massive number of wound marks. Many metal structures were already twisted, and there was even a wound that pierced through its chest, which was extremely unbelievable.
Pop!
Accompanied by a faint, almost imperceptible sound, the energy pressure around them instantly weakened by more than a level.
"Information State reactions weakened, Energy Reactions rising, spatial stability rising. We should have passed through the Chaos Zone..."
"The machine body's damage level has reached 74%..."
Li Yu looked at the inspection report. Although the damage was quite severe, they had finally charged out.
Eight combined into one, truly awesome.
"Andrei, are you still there?" Li Yu suddenly called out in the channel, as if remembering something.
After a moment of silence, a faint voice sounded: "I'm here, Lord Dragon Sovereign, I'm still here..."
"You actually didn't die." Li Yu was quite surprised. Although the Eternal Machine God had been trying its best to protect them, he wasn't sure if he could actually keep them safe.
Andrei: "..."
"As long as you're not dead. Let's keep moving forward."
The Eternal Machine God once again turned into a stream of Flowing Light, tearing through the surrounding Cosmic Space, like a cone of light, pressing forward with indomitable will.
