Chapter 357: Who Bears the Black Pot? The First Collector's Black Technology

The authority of the Lord of the Veil to take the whole world as a stage, all living beings as actors, and forcibly arrange dramas sounds both overbearing and a bit romantic.

But for those chosen as "roles," it can only be said to be bad luck.

The weak who are kept in the dark naturally have no influence.

But powerhouses of the collector's level absolutely cannot accept their body and soul being absolutely controlled and manipulated, even if the other party is a powerful ancient god.

It was precisely because he scanned that this was the territory of the Lord of the Veil that he didn't take action.

Change to another god.

For example, the invincible Blood God.

The collector would still go for it.

In fact, he is least afraid of gods like the Blood God. Although he would be easily killed if he faced them, he couldn't be caught at all, at most losing a few substitutes.

To get a precious collection!

He is very willing to pay a hundred substitutes.

This "weakness" was known to Li Yu, so he didn't need to probe around anymore and directly proposed a cooperation plan:

"Senior!"

"Since you don't want to watch this newly born 'Aberrant Mech Race' be exterminated, and you want a precious and rare collection, and you don't want to offend the Lord of the Veil."

"I have an idea that can help you achieve this goal."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Very simple, senior just needs to pay for one thing, a 【Stasis Force Field】 device that can cover a large range and whose target limit is barely touching the demigod level. With this device, this new race and that Daoist who has started to walk a special mechanical path can all survive."

"This new special mechanical race indeed needs senior's helping hand."

Li Yu's tone was incomparably sincere.

The collector's counter-question was also incomparably direct:

"Oh, if I do this, what can you get? And what can I get?"

"I need senior to sign a mechanical agreement, give up using this little thing as a substitute coordinate, and open the authority of the Mechanical Undead Race to him."

"As for senior's reward, how about this aberrant mechanical ancient god transformed by the *Pioneer*?"

"You have the ability to make it break away from the 'narrative domain' of the Lord of the Veil?"

"Naturally, there is. The narrative authority is indeed overbearing and unreasonable, but it is not without the slightest weakness. What it fears most is 'character loss of control'... in fact, it already has signs of loss of control. After all, in the original script, the *Pioneer* didn't have this form."

"Next, as long as it continues to be strengthened, it may completely lose control, completely break away from the script, and will no longer be marked by the narrative authority."

"To do this, others can't, only its creator, the 【Aberrant Daoist】, can strengthen it alone. It just so happens that I have a way to make that Aberrant Daoist do so."

"At that time, what you will get, senior, is also a perfectly undamaged and strengthened version of the Aberrant Mech Race Ancient God."

"The above transaction can be written into a virtual agreement, which will take effect after both parties sign."

"How about it?"

Li Yu threw out the bait without reservation.

In these words, there was indeed no component of deception.

The weakness of narrative authority is hard for others to know, but Li Yu has an "insider" in the City Lord's Mansion, so he knows it vaguely.

Judging from the positions and interests of both sides!

The plan Li Yu gave can be called a win-win situation where each gets what they need.

When the collector heard this, he really took the bait.

He is a mechanical brain, best at making decisions, and has no emotionality.

In the blink of an eye, the massive computing power had finished deducing and thinking.

Subsequently, he gave a response:

"I can give up the substitute anchor in this little thing's body, and I can also open part of the Mechanical Undead Race authority to him."

"The 【Stasis Force Field】 device that can cover a large area is being transmitted over, the virtual agreement is starting to generate, so who is signing with me..."

"It's me!"

"This senior of the Mechanical Undead Race."

Before the collector finished speaking, Hongdou's projection suddenly appeared in the screen floating in the fortress.

Although the master and servant had only not seen each other for two breaths, Hongdou at this moment had undergone obvious changes.

Across the screen, Li Yu could also feel the divine taste of a very high level on her body.

Although it was very unstable, it had clearly broken away from the mortal level.

Li Yu didn't need Hongdou to give an explanation; he realized: she took action.

It can be said!

Hongdou participated in every step of the Dead Machine Daoist's evolution.

And Hongdou herself is the most pure "Tiangong Seed." In terms of status and authority, she is higher than the Aberrant Daoist.

Strength is not enough, backdoor authority makes up for it.

The Aberrant Daoist, who is already a Weak God, is probably being influenced by Hongdou.

Her will will be the subsequent actions of the Aberrant Daoist.

The power that the Aberrant Daoist swallowed and evolved is also being partially controlled by Hongdou.

The First Collector as one of the leaders of the Mechanical Undead Race!

If the status in mechanics and virtuality is not enough, signing an agreement with Him is no different from courting death. No matter how good the content looks, fair and just, once signed, it will eventually turn into a slave contract for selling oneself.

Changing to Hongdou, it is different.

Her current status and state can fear no agreement trap.

If she is really promoted to 【Tiangong Goddess】 in the future and then signs an agreement, the one who needs to be careful is the other party.

And Hongdou's appearance didn't surprise the collector at all. He obviously knew it early on.

"Nice to meet you, a young mechanical goddess."

"I was very surprised when I initially discovered your existence from the little thing's memory bank, as well as your creator."

"I didn't expect that in this strange battlefield of gods, a hidden small world, there would be a mechanical god called 【Tiangong God】."

"The great power she presented made me feel ashamed, and also incomparably painful for her fall. If possible, I would like to collect a 'Tiangong God-Chosen,' or a Tiangong Sect brain program."

"However, this wish should be impossible to achieve for the time being."

"Then, let's follow the plan."

"This trip, getting a big guy of a new mechanical race as a collection is also very good."

When the conversation reached here, everything went very smoothly.

The performance of this First Collector of the Boundless Spirit Realm was completely unworthy of his notoriety outside, but really like a sincere and honest senior.

However, neither of the master and servant believed him.

Each exchanged spiritual responses in their hearts.

"Master, he will definitely pit you."

"This old fox, I guess he is holding back bad water, let's see what he wants to do."

……

The advantage of both sides being treacherous and smart people is that even though they have their own ghosts and calculations, it doesn't affect efficiency at all.

Even, once the plan was set and the agreement was signed, both sides took action immediately.

A second ago, the Daoist who was fighting to the death in Wanfu City and stirred up a "aberration war" that swept the whole city, together with that vast number of aberrant mech races.

Suddenly, they stopped fighting and began to retreat.

This change!

Suddenly caught all parties off guard.

According to the normal process, this Tiangong Aberration disaster would be eliminated by the True God avatars they summoned at a great price.

Although it was very unpleasant to be inexplicably struck by disaster, it was good to be able to eliminate it and share the spoils in the end, which could make up for some losses.

But if the Aberrant Daoist and the new mech race were allowed to run away?

This outcome, all parties could not accept.

Especially the Sacred Nest!

As the hegemon of the South District and the battlefield, the high-level members below were either rebelled or exterminated.

The 【Saint Council】, which was once famous in Wanfu City, that is, ten demigod-level powerhouses, had to entangle and restrict the Aberrant Daoist, and also sacrifice themselves to summon the Ancient Sage avatar.

By this time, they were also broken and paid a heavy price.

If this allowed the Aberrant Daoist to run away with this newly born aberrant mech race, the ten saints would only be vomiting blood.

You must know that they were still proud earlier, swallowing the 【Tiangong Sect】 missionary branch, and getting a new mechanical path for themselves, which was simply a wonderful business without capital.

But now it looks more like the missionary branch actively being swallowed, then "parasitizing" the Sacred Nest, sucking blood to grow, and finally running away.

Once confirmed!

The Sacred Nest, the ten saints, and the True God Ancient Sage behind them.

All have to lose face.

Who can bear this?

Especially the key inside, is Hongdou.

Once it is "exposed" in the future, it will really become a mortal enemy among mortal enemies.

Li Yu and Hongdou also realized this.

However, there is no choice.

"This trouble, this disaster, makes me and Hongdou look like the mastermind."

"However, it's all a coincidence, or fate."

"Hongdou's original intention was just to subdue the 【Missionary Branch】. She also couldn't think that the Dead Machine Daoist could upgrade by cheating, be promoted to Weak God so quickly, and create a new race."

"But since it's a great benefit and a great opportunity delivered to the door, don't waste it."

"Anyway, this has nothing to do with me, Li Yu. With Lu Sheng's cover, I will always be a 'nobody.' This is the benefit of having an insider."

Just as Li Yu was thinking this.

Under Hongdou's influence, the Aberrant Daoist, who had almost destroyed the Sacred Nest, led that overwhelming aberrant mechanical race, regardless of the cost, broke away from the battlefield, and then headed outside the city to the Wanfu Frozen Plain.

Timing!

Grasped really well.

It happened to be stuck at the node where the avatars of the gods were about to be summoned to descend.

A little later, even if a god avatar had descended, the Aberrant Daoist wouldn't be able to run.

And now, when these aberrant mechanical bodies that turned from dead objects to living bodies formed a torrent and surged, no one could stop them.

In the city, a large number of demigod-level powerhouses, including the "Ten Saints," could only entangle and block.

But the effect was not good.

If it were an army composed of flesh-and-blood living beings, it would be better.

The ten saints were all very good at related supernatural powers, and with one "flesh-and-blood reorganization," no matter how huge the army was, it would instantly go out of business.

But the mech race that was already aberrated?

Perfectly immune.

Others such as terrain change, poison, climate, vacuum, meme pollution, etc., also had little effect.

Consequently, the mechanical torrent that filled the earth and the sky crashed into the borderland shrouded in eternal fog in the blink of an eye.

These scenes were truly astonishing.

Who could have imagined?

Wanfu City, which did not fall behind in the fight against the Three Kingdoms and Six Sects, would one day be pitted by a newly born mechanical race.

This kind of accident, if "Li Yu and Hongdou," the two culprits, could not be dug out afterwards.

Most likely, the black pot would be buckled on the head of the Lord of Myriad Changes or the Foolish God!

Reason?

Very simple, the other two Evil Gods with suspicion and motivation, the Ancient Sage and the Lord of the Veil, would be victims in this disaster.

……

"So spectacular!"

In the Immortal Fortress, Li Yu looked at the picture on the screen and couldn't help but sigh.

And the "First Collector" who was still occupying the little guy's shell at his feet, made a more sincere exclamation.

Every sentence came from the bottom of his heart:

"Beautiful, too beautiful."

"Although compared to our Mechanical Undead Race, this is a completely aberrant new race, not possessing a systematic technology, and hasn't mastered the means to fight against gods, but compared to the boredom of the Mechanical Undead Race, they are so wild, so rich and colorful."

"Tsk tsk, every individual is actually different."

"They must not be exterminated. If they are unfortunately exterminated, then the last survivors must appear in my museum."

"I have already seen some very good individuals, that mechanical Buddha, and that mechanical Blood God, they are simply perfect works of art..."

The First Collector was still commenting and eyeing them.

Li Yu suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted:

"Senior, it's time to move."

"That 【Aberrant Mechanical Ancient God】 transformed by the *Pioneer* is the most perfect collection. It is being accelerated and strengthened by the Aberrant Daoist, and has completely broken free from the relevant narrative, completing character loss of control. An entrance has been specially opened for you inside its body."

"Once your stasis force field device is in place, it will immediately recognize you as its master and be willing to be transmitted back to the Mechanical Iron Tomb with you."

"As for how to avoid being marked by the 'Lord of the Veil'? I think senior has his own way."

"Good!"

The First Collector, who

Instead, in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the small robot's body.

Molecular recombination technology activated!

The next moment!

Inside the body of a 'Distorted Ancient God'—a massive, sky-obscuring mix of flesh and machinery—a tiny figure, looking like a parasite, quietly appeared.

This was also a mechanical life form, only its exterior resembled a skeleton.

In his hands, two items appeared: an Annihilation Scepter flickering with green light and a pitch-black box engraved with space-time runes.

Without a doubt, the latter was the static force field that could be released on a large scale and over a wide range.

An absolute weapon of mass destruction!

It was also one of the mainstays that allowed the First Collector to be unscrupulous for many years without ever getting into trouble!

With such terrifying technology.

Below the level of a True God, he was nearly invincible.

As for those above True God level, he had his own ways.

At this moment, he did not activate the black technology in his hands, but first experienced the distorted mechanical ancient god he now controlled.

When he opened his eyes again, his tone showed a rare and distinct fluctuation:

"Such violent and distorted emotions; they are far more fascinating than the zombie-like consciousnesses of our Mechanical Undead race."

"What a truly ugly yet perfect collection piece!"
