Chapter 156: New Residence

It was not just Li Yu who guessed the determination of the high echelons of Wanfu City; the other God-Chosen who experienced it together also showed different expressions after hearing the name, obviously guessing it too.

Regarding this, Xu Baixi didn't feel anything, still looking at the nine people enthusiastically.

His words and demeanor clearly treated the nine God-Chosen as his own people.

"The nine fellow Daoists each represent different 【True Gods】, especially Xu Xuan, Yang Huan, and others, whose followed True Gods are all in contact with the real world for the first time."

"If it were elsewhere, wanting to leave behind inheritance, one must experience war after war."

"Especially now that the six major righteous sects have already occupied almost the entire real world, other True Gods have no chance at all."

"Only our Wanfu City is the last place of hope."

"As one of the welfare treatments for 'Pioneers', in the future, the City Lord's Mansion can also help everyone with missionary work; even if you want to build a brand-new path to godhood sect from scratch, the City Lord's Mansion will also help with all its strength."

Every word Xu Baixi spat out possessed extraordinary infectious power.

Even Li Yu felt his blood boil after hearing it.

At the same time, he understood his hidden meaning in seconds.

This Stage Magician was not just speaking to the nine God-Chosen, but to the nine True Gods behind them:

"To leave behind inheritance, to compete for the real world, add more chips."

"Big investment, only then big harvest."

Until this point, Li Yu and the others all reacted.

The nine people were all calculated by the City Lord's Mansion.

In order to exempt divine corruption and go deep into pioneering forbidden lands, this was indeed one of the reasons why the City Lord's Mansion formed the God-Chosen Pioneer Team.

But there was a more important reason two:

"The City Lord's Mansion wants to rebel!"

"To be precise, the City Lord's Mansion wants to take Wanfu City and upgrade it to 【Wanfu Nation】."

"In this way, the inherent order of the three kingdoms and six sects in the real world can be overthrown."

"In order to achieve the goal, the City Lord's Mansion began to find ways to contact the gods and seek help from all other gods besides the righteous gods."

"And the focus here is on terrifying Evil Gods beyond the sky such as 【Lord of Alien Forms】 and 【Mother of All Ages】."

"This was originally just a conspiracy theory, but now it is completely confirmed."

When Li Yu realized this in his heart.

He suddenly felt somewhat speechless!

He was fooled.

He wanted to escape from the dangerous place of the South District and escape the clutches of the Sacred Nest, but unexpectedly he got on another even more terrifying pirate ship.

Although the City Lord's Mansion would not treat him as an "experiment" to be skinned and dismantled, its plans were even bigger.

If there were no accidents, the City Lord's Mansion would use many means, such as unimaginable welfare benefits, to completely tie the nine people to the war chariot of the City Lord's Mansion.

The "housing welfare" in front of him was just the first step.

If it were just an ordinary practitioner, even a Sequence Five, or even a Sequence Four, it would not be worth the City Lord's Mansion's deliberate wooing.

But God-Chosen!

It is very different.

Except for Li Yu, a fake whose future is unknown, the other eight, foreseeably, will each have a bright future.

In the future, being promoted to a high sequence like Sequence Two is almost a certainty.

Especially people like Xu Xuan and Yang Huan, who each represent a new sect that is about to rise and has a powerful True God behind it.

Thinking to this point, Li Yu suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and a feeling of powerlessness at being forced to be involved in a big event.

Although Li Yu's strength growth speed was already shocking enough.

But staying in Wanfu City, it actually seemed like it was never enough?

"No, it's not just not enough in Wanfu City."

"It's this world!"

"I'm afraid that in the three major kingdoms of Gan, Li, and Jing, the situation is the same; as long as one steps on the path to godhood, one must face these."

"Living in peace? That would only be the thought of ordinary people."

In a trance, Li Yu seemed to have figured something out.

In his heart, he suddenly felt enlightened.

Previously, he had been urgently wanting to escape Wanfu City, but now it seemed that there was no need for such a strong obsession.

Being able to adapt to the environment and quickly improve strength is the foundation.

Besides, as a practitioner of the Spirit Venerable path, going to the three kingdoms and six sects would still be a heretic and would have to face another situation.

When Li Yu figured this out, Xu Baixi, who had finished wooing the eight God-Chosen, suddenly handed a communication device with a strange shape and made of bronze to Li Yu and said:

"This is the key to that mobile castle, and also a caller."

"That mechanical life usually controls the castle to fly around, but the range is still near the Ancient God Camp. You can just find a wilderness to call it over after getting off the train."

"If you determine to use that castle as your residence, you also need to follow some rules, such as accepting deployment regularly, etc.; it does not restrict your freedom, just to ensure your safety."

"You are all God-Chosen, can face 'Evil God corpses' directly, but there are countless dangers in the three forbidden lands; just exempting divine corruption is not enough to survive in them."

"Good!"

Li Yu's face was unchanged, and he took the caller.

Then he took Hongdou and got off the Ancient God Train, and what he saw later was a quite lively and strange camp.

Surrounding the Pioneer, a large number of practitioners were working. Mechanical airships, tower ships, turret towers, defense works, etc., everything was available.

In front of the camp, it was still the frozen plain scene covered by dark white mist, existing for unknown years, hiding unknown terrifying strange things.

And behind the camp, all the way to Wanfu City, although there was still cold mist, it was not so terrifying, filled with various traces of humans.

According to Xu Baixi's statement!

The City Lord's Mansion had already opened up more than a dozen strongholds like the 【Ancient God Camp】 in the three forbidden lands, and had already pushed to the middle areas of the three forbidden lands; now the territory controlled by Wanfu City had expanded several times compared to before.

Once the three forbidden lands were all pioneered, the Wanfu City upgraded to a nation would have a territory map no weaker than any kingdom.

Although Xu Baixi did not mention the "casualties" during the pioneering process, Li Yu knew after a little thought that it must have been a heavy price.

"It seems that a special country purely composed of various evil cultivator believers is in the process of being born."

"I have been forced to become a part of it; maybe by the time the Tiangong Sect people come to pick me up, I will have climbed to the upper echelons of the City Lord's Mansion."

Li Yu was muttering in his heart while quickly finding a remote corner on the outskirts of the camp.

=9+Book_Bar

Then, he pressed the caller in his hand.

In the flashing red light, sounds of beep beep beep rang out.

Li Yu originally thought that the mechanical castle would come quickly, but who would have thought that he waited for a full dozens of breaths before hearing Hongdou beside him suddenly speak:

"Master, detected that the target is approaching... there is indeed a special mechanical life existing in the target."

"Scanning it!"

"The mechanical life shows timid and cautious characteristics, no traces of high intelligence, does not possess negative emotions such as looting and killing, has a slight tendency toward depression, and has no malice toward the master for the time being..."

"Hmm?"

During Hongdou's detection sound, Li Yu seemed to sense something and looked at a hill in front.

In the hazy cold mist, a "colossus" was sneaking closer.

First, it sprayed white steam that perfectly blended into the cold mist, flying from afar; after being slightly closer, it hovered in the mist, and then four slender mechanical legs slowly lowered under the castle, carefully, sneaking closer.

Hiding behind that small hill, watching Li Yu from afar.

Seeing this scene, Li Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed.

Who could have thought?

A huge castle purely composed of mechanical structures could actually be manipulated to make such movements, living like a social phobia patient.

Previously, he was still puzzled by Hongdou's scan, how a mechanical life could be related to "timid, cautious, depressed," etc.

After all, the mechanical lives Li Yu had seen, such as Hongdou, Sacred Nest AI, Daoist Si Ji, Brother Brother Shang Yang.

These people were all existences with extremely terrifying intelligence.

As for personality?

Except for Hongdou and Daoist Si Ji who had some fluctuations, the AI and Brother Brother Shang Yang were both existences that were completely heartless.

The sudden appearance of such a special mechanical life made Li Yu interested.

Just as he was about to continue calling it over across the cold mist.

Suddenly, Hongdou continued:

"The mechanical life's frequency is fluctuating... it has developed curiosity toward the master... it has the intention to approach..."

Hongdou's voice had just fallen.

Sure enough, he saw the mechanical castle, seemingly having finally made up its mind, shuttle out from the cold mist, run down the hilltop on tiptoe, and finally stop in front of Li Yu.

Looking at it for the first time at close range, Li Yu completely understood the words of the "senior engineer of the Tiangong Machinery Factory No. 1."

Entirely piled up from various broken mechanical creations, rusty, as if it were a creation in a garbage dump.

But strictly speaking, it was unusually harmonious.

Steam sprayed regularly, mechanical pipes trembled slightly, and hot air with the smell of machine oil rushed toward his face.

Just as Li Yu was about to press the key to open the door again, he heard a "ka da ka da" sound, and the mechanical cabin door opened wide, and an old spiral staircase fell to Li Yu's feet.

With intense curiosity, Li Yu stepped up and entered the castle.

Just after stepping into it, the first thing he saw was a large amount of debris piled up, quite messy, but it seemed there were some rules.

Before he could observe carefully, he heard sounds of steam spraying from all over the castle, and cabin doors that were originally tightly closed opened one after another; following them were sounds like a child's mechanical voice:

"Welcome... welcome new master!"

"Releasing all permissions... bedroom... control room... watchtower... weapon room... collection room."

"According to the agreement, if the new master chooses to stay after visiting, he will directly possess all permissions."

"If you choose to leave, please... please do not move or destroy the items in the castle, especially any collection in the collection room."

After hearing this, a strange look appeared on Li Yu's face.

The information leaked in these few short sentences was not small at all.

It must have come from that special mechanical life, trying its best to pretend to be a heartless mechanical sound, but the fluctuations in tone in the subtle places still exposed its nervousness.

The most serious thing was when mentioning the "collection room," fearing that the visitor would destroy the collections inside.
