the fire on the blade instantly surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, a maintenance robot was also raising a welding torch to stab straight forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, the maintenance robot's attack would have struck the captain's left shoulder before the captain's axe could land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the teammate attached to the captain's chest activated the Binding trait at that moment, forcibly pinning the maintenance robot in place, rendering it immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle axe dragged a trail of golden flame as it swept across, severing the welding torch in the maintenance robot's hand, followed immediately by a kick that sent the robot flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the captain sharply raised his left-hand shield to meet another maintenance robot attacking from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield collided with a mechanical arm; the sound of shattering metal rang out as the already damaged arm exploded into scattered parts upon impact with the rock shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest pause, the captain swung his battle axe, slashing at the maintenance robot on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames dragged a dazzling trail through the air; with the Force Barbarian trait activated, the intense heat melted part of the robot's outer shell before the axe blade even made contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the axe fell, the robot's head was split in two, black smoke rising from the cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, more robots surged forth from the corridor, including a type of robot never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An analysis scan swept over them, presenting the robots' information in the minds of the team players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Engineering Robot Model E4]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Level: 11\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target Description: A medium-sized engineering robot equipped with multi-functional mechanical arms and welding devices, responsible for structural repairs and maintenance of large-scale equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense beams of energy attacked; the captain held the rock shield upright before him, blocking this entire wave of offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, I'm at critical health, don't use me as a shield anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing A Lan's reminder, the captain decisively withdrew the shield he had raised before him, spun around with his battle axe, and swept horizontally; the axe blade fanned out, knocking back several maintenance robots, while those touched by the Force Barbarian Axe emitted piercing alarm sounds amidst the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can't hold on; so many robots are attacking from ahead, Host, retreat quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Eagle-Headed Demon teammate's cry, the captain decisively turned and sprinted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light Shield and Binding, take the front!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teammate immediately released a Light Shield to help the captain withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever a robot approached, the Binding Soul would activate, restricting the approaching robot in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through their tacit cooperation, the captain successfully escaped, drilling out of the mechanical ruin tunnel and arriving in the wasteland region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sprinting several hundred meters further, he looked back; no robots were pursuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasping for breath, the captain plopped down on the ground; the teammates also reverted to their original forms, dissolving the Fusion Cultivation Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although exhausted, smiles overflowed on the faces of the small team's players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facts proved that Fusion Cultivation Mode was extremely powerful, fully capable of challenging enemies above their level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback was insufficient endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even one team member reached critical health, they had to withdraw quickly; otherwise, casualties could occur, causing Fusion Cultivation Mode to break prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This combination Cultivation Mode is too strong; no wonder beings from the Upper Realm have such sharp minds.\" The captain looked at A Lan, whose Iron Face was filled with exhaustion, and spoke with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, don't tease me; I'm just the lowest-level novice player in the team right now.\" A Lan smiled and waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, finally we don't have to fight other players for monsters; this Fusion Cultivation Mode allows us to explore more dangerous areas. It would be even better if we could solve the endurance issue.\" Tu Bai lay limp on the ground, still resting in a sprawled position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the small talk, the topic shifted to the mechanical ruin tunnel they had just discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tunnel was located six kilometers east of the Novice Village exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of players in the nearby wasteland had noticeably decreased, making the competition for monsters less fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those capable of hunting here were generally small groups of over thirty players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But through their Fusion Cultivation Mode, they could fight here easily, achieving the hidden accomplishment of hunting above their level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This newly discovered mechanical tunnel should be a passage leading to the Mechanical Ruin City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, besides cleaning robots and maintenance robots, there were also engineering robots with stronger combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of mechanical monsters inside was large, and their combat strength was high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they rushed in to kill a few robots, they had to withdraw quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they would easily fall into a predicament of being surrounded and find it difficult to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the captain, no other team member had died yet; they all wanted to persist a bit longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their stamina recovered, the team members stood up, switched to their Soul forms, and fused with the captain again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they still chose to continue exploring deeper into the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tunnel entrance was wrapped in twisted metal frames; the rust-stained iron sheets were covered in cracks, and the air was filled with the smell of machine oil and rust, mixed with the scent of damp earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tunnel, the walls were covered with intricate pipes and cables; some had broken, with exposed wire ends sparking in the dim light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was littered with scattered broken mechanical parts; gears, bearings, and screws were visible everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, one could hear piercing noises coming from the end of the tunnel, as if some ancient machinery was operating without lubricant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several long-extinct lighting lamps hung from the tunnel ceiling, their shades covered in thick dust; occasionally, water droplets fell from cracks, and the walls bore numerous welding graffiti, clearly traces left by maintenance robots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, thirty meters ahead, a cleaning robot is clearing the mechanical debris we just killed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" The captain nodded, raised the rock shield transformed by A Lan, and walked quickly toward the end of the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they encountered the cleaning robot mentioned by the Eagle-Headed Demon teammate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cleaning robot was stronger than the previous ones, reaching Hunting Level 5; it was currently using a steel brush to clean rust marks off the ground, then piling the broken mechanical debris in a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain stepped forward and slashed straight at the cleaning robot with his Force Barbarian Axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garbage detected, initiating cleanup!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green light on the surface of the cleaning robot suddenly switched to red, entering combat Cultivation Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the mechanical arm could raise, it was immobilized by the Binding Soul teammate attached to the chest area; the Level 8 Force Barbarian Axe easily split the metal shell, cutting the cleaning robot in half with a single strike, as arcs and sparks erupted from the cut surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, the captain stepped forward, collected the cleaning robot and the mechanical debris they hadn't had time to pick up earlier into his Spatial Bag, then summoned the Sacrifice function to offer them to Di Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sacrificial Power obtained was evenly distributed among every member of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the battle commenced, the warning red lights above the Mechanical Ruin Tunnel lit up, marking the start of a new round of fierce fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robots they had fought before surged along the tunnel once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain decisively raised his rock shield and actively charged at the nearest maintenance robot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Binding control, Light Shield auxiliary defense, Force Barbarian Axe offense, Eagle-Headed Demon warning alerts, Rock Shield primary defense, Gargoyle resisting fatal attacks... the Fusion Body wreaked havoc throughout the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the drawback of low levels was weak endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when A Lan, who transformed the rock shield, reached critical health, they had to withdraw as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not feasible to have the captain use his Gargoyle body to replace the rock shield for tanking damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain's body was covered with teammates in Soul form; occasionally taking hits on empty spots was fine, but if the captain became the primary damage taker during combat, it would easily endanger other teammates at critical health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the teammate attached to the chest position, embedded with the Binding Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would reach critical health after taking just one hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the captain stuck out his chest to take damage, the one most likely to die instantly would be the teammate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, under Fusion Cultivation Mode, A Lan, who transformed the rock shield, was the core damage-taking unit of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle lasted less than twenty minutes; the captain successfully slew the remaining four robots, collected the debris into his Spatial Bag, and sacrificed them to Di Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After distributing the gains, they continued exploring deeper into the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next stretch of the journey, the number of blocking robots noticeably decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think there might be some opportunity in this place?\" Tu Bai's voice rang out in the team chat channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not sure if we'll get rich, but there's certainly a small fortune; the mechanical debris accumulated outside for long ages and decomposed by energy elements is mostly worthless, but the mechanical debris inside the tunnel is ready wealth, crafted from spiritual ores, which can be directly sacrificed to Di Zhao for Sacrificial Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking thus, the captain came to the pile of mechanical debris stacked in the corner by the cleaning robot, collected the heap into his Spatial Bag, sacrificed it, and obtained 124 points of Sacrificial Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, this is first-come, first-served; those who come later won't even get to drink the soup,\" a teammate said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pile of debris collected by the captain in the corner was regarded as unusable garbage by many factions in the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were cast from spiritual ore materials, reusing them required refining and classifying different spiritual substances, a process that was extremely troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only powerful factions like the Black Black Tide and the Insect Swarm had the foundation to be non-picky, able to devour all matter into usable energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the players possessed a similar ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it was a spiritual substance, it held value in the eyes of the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Di Zhao recycles all garbage, turning waste into treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, encountering mechanical debris along the way was like finding \"Sacrificial Power red envelopes\" scattered in the tunnel in the eyes of the small team's players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the tunnel, the view ahead suddenly opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What appeared before them was a spacious control room; the piercing sound of machinery operating came from outside this room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain approached the workbench, his gaze passing through the transparent glass to look down at the hall below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of his line of sight was a massive mechanical core still operating, protected by a thick energy barrier; internal lights flashed alternately as it rotated slowly, occasionally stuttering and emitting piercing noises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the mechanical instruments were piled numerous metal eggs the size of human heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone search the area; there might be hidden treasures here,\" the captain reminded them at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the teammates one by one dissolved their Soul Soul forms, switched back to their main bodies, and scattered in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan stepped forward twice, arriving at the control console; his gaze swept over the complex array of various buttons before focusing on a stack of blueprints pressed into a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and drew one sheet; the paper, made of some unknown material, had not been damaged by time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The complex lines and dense symbols on the blueprint left him momentarily baffled; after his vision focused on the symbolic information, the text automatically distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The translation function activated accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blueprint's title transformed into a line of striking text that entered A Lan's eyes: Blueprint for Consciousness Transmission and Mechanical Immortality Concepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concept of mechanical immortality was not unfamiliar to A Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moon Eclipse Clan, to which he belonged, had encountered multiple development bottlenecks throughout its long history of evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A so-called development bottleneck refers to a point where technology within a specific field becomes difficult to break through further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an inevitable problem existing in the development of any race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the relatively short history of human physics development as an example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early physics content was very sparse, consisting only of preliminary thoughts on object motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by modern times, Galileo laid some foundations of classical mechanics through experimental research on free-fall motion and the like, causing the volume of knowledge to gradually increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, building upon the research of predecessors, Newton proposed the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, constructing a complete system of classical mechanics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, the field of optics also saw initial development, such as the discovery of some basic principles of geometric optics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The physics knowledge system of this stage was relatively simple; under conditions of receiving a good education, an individual needed only a few years of systematic study to master the core knowledge of classical physics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving further forward, by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, physics underwent major transformations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell established the theory of classical electromagnetism, while thermodynamics and statistical physics also developed, such as the proposal of the three laws of thermodynamics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The volume of physics knowledge in this era increased significantly, and theoretical mathematical expressions became more complex; to enter this field, students not only had to master classical mechanics but also needed to deeply study new knowledge systems like electromagnetism and thermodynamics, possibly spending over a decade to achieve a relatively deep understanding in these areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And subsequently, the creation of quantum mechanics and relativity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the field of physics continued to develop, the volume of knowledge within it grew exponentially; later generations needed to spend vast amounts of time learning existing knowledge before they could stand at the pyramid's peak of this field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they wished to pioneer new knowledge content for this field, their lives had already reached their end, long having missed the peak period of vigorous energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moon Eclipse Clan encountered this very type of problem at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the initial stage of new field knowledge, one could finish learning by age ten; afterward, entering the expansion stage, they would construct new content for this knowledge system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this generation died, the accumulation of knowledge required learning until age twenty to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it became thirty, forty... The accumulation of knowledge was like building a house, constantly expanding space upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the point where the new generation needed to spend an entire lifetime just to reach the top floor, utterly powerless to add new floors to this knowledge system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus appeared the expansion of learning through specialized sub-fields, cutting one body of knowledge into multiple knowledge systems to reduce the burden of learning for future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the knowledge system continued to accumulate, this problem would still reach a bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowledge in branch fields required future generations to study for a lifetime, truly achieving a sea of learning with no shore to return to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, knowledge in many systems complemented each other and simply could not be classified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various problems plagued the major kingdoms of the Moon Eclipse Clan at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to break the deadlock? In ancient times, the two strongest kingdoms of the Moon Eclipse Clan respectively proposed two solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Moon Eclipse Kingdom named Aizer had long been troubled by short lifespans; many outstanding scholars and sages passed away before they could fully transmit their lifetime of learning and experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Moon Eclipse people of the Aizer Kingdom turned their eyes toward genetic modification technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They invested massive resources and energy into researching the mysteries of racial genes, attempting through constant experimentation to modify defects in the gene chain and extend the cell division cycle, thereby prolonging individual lifespans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their view, only by possessing longer lifespans could one accumulate richer knowledge, allowing civilization and technology to develop more deeply in all aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Moon Eclipse people of the Cyber Civilization Kingdom firmly believed that mechanical ascension was the best path to achieve eternal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They believed flesh was too fragile, prone to sickness and aging, filled with various uncertainties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To solve this problem, the Moon Eclipse people of Cyber dedicated themselves to perfectly fusing consciousness with machinery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting with the development of prosthetics, they moved from simple mechanical limbs to complex artificial organs, gradually replacing the fragile biological parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their ultimate goal was to fully upload consciousness into mechanical carriers, freeing life from the constraints of time and flesh, allowing it to exist in a completely new form of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereafter, one only needed to constantly replace old body parts to achieve the concept of mechanical immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first direction was: genetic modification to extend lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second direction was: mechanical ascension for eternal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Research in these two directions launched simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, many other Moon Eclipse Kingdoms chose different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, some Moon Eclipse Kingdoms sought to solve the development bottleneck problem by rapidly digesting knowledge, meaning improving learning efficiency and enhancing learning capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For resources needed for development, fierce wars broke out among the major Moon Eclipse Kingdoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the wars ended, none of the major kingdoms had managed to solve the development bottleneck problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the high command of the Moon Eclipse people from different kingdoms chose to cease hostilities and negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starting point of the modern Moon Eclipse Clan was born from these negotiations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The major kingdoms united into the Pillar Clan (Moon Eclipse Clan), wherein \"Pillar\" represented the cornerstone supporting the race, as well as the mainstay of stable development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To resolve endless conflicts, the concept of AI supervising the Moon Eclipse Clan was also brought onto the agenda, ensuring that future development would no longer be directed by the interests of a small privileged class; the AI would take the overall future of the Moon Eclipse Clan as its development goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Net was thus born, built upon the foundation of the \"Mechanical Ascension\" technology from the Cyber Kingdom of that era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the Moon Eclipse members of ancient times never expected was that the birth of the Star Net actually solved the development bottleneck problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Star Net possessed infinite lifespan and an information database that could expand infinitely, capable of storing an infinite volume of knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henceforth, ordinary Moon Eclipse members no longer needed to learn tedious scientific knowledge; all development could be left to the Star Net, which continuously learned and grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The development of the Moon Eclipse Clan no longer had any bottlenecks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, genetic modification technology also continued to develop after the Moon Eclipse Clan resolved its internal contradictions, giving birth to countless powerful genetic warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that at a certain stage, due to \"identification and judgment\" issues, this technology was banned by the Star Net, exiting the historical stage of the Moon Eclipse Clan, leaving behind only basic genetic modification techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the genetic modification technology later gifted to humanity, which created a group of super genetic warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also banned for the same reason were the core technologies regarding mechanical body modification within \"Mechanical Ascension\"; the many basic knowledge fragments left behind became the cornerstone for constructing the modern virtual network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The essence of the virtual network was not to let \"life\" survive within a virtual environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, after mechanical ascension was completed, it was a network used by Moon Eclipse members who had achieved mechanical immortality to store knowledge and information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future envisioned by the Mechanical Ascension project, all knowledge would be stored in the network world; acquiring any knowledge would simply require searching and downloading it within that realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the Mechanical Ascension project was listed as taboo by the Star Net, the virtual world appeared before the eyes of Moon Eclipse members in another form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the historical data on Moon Eclipse development he had read during his school days, A Lan felt emotional in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the changes of years, the Star Net created by their ancestors had brought the Moon Eclipse Clan to where it stood today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had even allowed them to evade a terrifying natural disaster sufficient to destroy the entire Moon Eclipse Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to review the mechanical ascension theories described on the blueprint, A Lan was surprised to discover that the content on the paper could change by sliding; the text and images upon it would reorganize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed to be a technology similar to electronic ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it looked like a sheet of paper, it stored vast amounts of information and could change its displayed content through touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The text and images above detailed a theoretical model for consciousness transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through a special energy wave, consciousness information was extracted from the brain and then precisely implanted into a mechanical carrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan continued flipping through with great interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flipping through more than ten pages, he saw a mechanical diagram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The title bore a line of text: [Carrier of Immortality and Evolution - Mechanical Guardian].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous content roughly depicted the concept of consciousness transmission; this time, what was presented was the conception regarding the mechanical carrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This part was also the core content of the mechanical immortality concept, demonstrating how to construct a nearly perfect mechanical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This body possessed super-strong evolutionary capabilities, able to obtain different evolutionary directions by devouring spiritual ore substances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Machine Guard Clan planned to first forge the \"Mechanical Guardian\" in the form of a weapon for use in war to clarify its growth potential, before considering the method of transmitting consciousness into the Mechanical Guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as this plan succeeded, the Machine Guard Clan could break free from the fragility of flesh and the limits of lifespan, achieving mechanical immortality in the truest sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The various conceptual designs on the paper linked ring to ring; every concept spoke of the Machine Guard Clan's mad pursuit of life extension and evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It opened A Lan's eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flipping to the last page, he found these words left behind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this Monster World where powerful races stand tall, we possess no innate extraordinary talents, nor do we have the blessing of powerful rule forces; the only thing we own is the accumulation of wisdom from countless generations, which is an exploration fire that never extinguishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will Iron Face those powerful races that control the laws of heaven and earth with our mechanical bodies, challenging those existences standing at the peak with our eternal lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This road is destined to be thorn-filled;

the steel torrent they once took pride in had turned into scrap metal, and even the name of their race had been submerged by the river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan's fingers lightly stroked the control console; a cold sensation traveled from his fingertips, and he seemed to hear those unfulfilled oaths echoing in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This race had once been so proud, running along the path of chasing dreams with hope, determined to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with powerful races, yet now it had quietly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one must find a reason, perhaps their dreams were too grand, so much so that even time could not bear them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the vast majority of races, the four words \"Monster World\" signify cruelty and destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The factions capable of taking a seat at the table in the Monster World are, in the end, an extreme minority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of races are more like the Machine Guard Clan, able only to cling to their dreams and, in the most tragic manner, become the dust of a new era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he was a player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fate of the Machine Guard Clan, which had once walked the same developmental path as the Moon Eclipse Clan, filled A Lan with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the difference was that behind them stood a High-Dimensional Lifeform capable of changing the Moon Eclipse Clan's future, destined to walk a path completely different from that of the Machine Guard Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, a teammate's exclamation came through the voice channel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sacrificing this Mechanical Heart to Brother Di Zhao actually yields 70,000 Sacrificial Power (screenshot.jpg).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan focused his gaze on the screenshot, and the information automatically surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mechanical Heart (Damaged)]:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quality: 56\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Item Description: A special device crafted by the Machine Guard Clan to maximize energy efficiency and reduce energy loss (Sacrificing to Di Zhao yields: 72,235 Sacrificial Power).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stowing the special paper in his hand into his Spatial Sack, A Lan looked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze passed through the transparent glass, sweeping toward the lower hall, where he discovered that, at some unknown point, a team member had actually gone down to the lower hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The analysis screenshot from earlier had been posted by this very team member;

in reality, after it happens many times, it's just like anything else,\" A Lan said calmly, shrugging his hands to indicate he had no solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, swarms of mechanical spiders surged along the corridor like a Black Tide, and the squad members in the control room were instantly engulfed and torn apart by this wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vision of the squad members was subsequently shrouded in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the team leader, all other team members were entering the Little Black Room for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad members resurrected at the spatial node in the Cave World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After regrouping, they left the space and set out toward the tunnel once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the squad members discussed their discoveries before their collective sudden death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mechanical Core, worth 72,000 Sacrificial Power, made their hearts race with desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could obtain this Mechanical Core, the team's development speed would see a significant boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might even have enough funds to purchase armed vehicles, or even growth-type pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was that there were large numbers of combat robots, \"Mechanical Spiders,\" near the Mechanical Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first team member to die posted an analysis screenshot of the Mechanical Spiders in the team chat channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the analysis image, the Mechanical Spider was only the size of a human head;

it adopts a modular design with low manufacturing costs, facilitating mass production, and adapts to combat in various complex terrains; the end of each leg is equipped with hooks, allowing it to move on vertical walls as easily as on flat ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat strength of the Mechanical Spiders was not high, but their numbers were immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When fighting in Fusion Cultivation Mode, the thing most feared was this type of numerous enemy, as the team leader found it difficult to look after the other teammates attached as accessories on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, combat endurance was already a weak point; once surrounded by Mechanical Spiders, death was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about we level up first, raise our ranks, and then go to the tunnel?\" Tu Bai suggested after pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I disagree; the location of the Mechanical Ruins Tunnel is very conspicuous; by the time we raise our ranks, it may have already been discovered by other player squads, or even teams; too many competitors will join the scramble, making it difficult to obtain it then,\" A Lan shook his head, indicating this suggestion was not feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what do we do? Several people in the team are squishies; we simply cannot withstand the Mechanical Spiders' attacks, plus our combat endurance is already weak; every time a teammate dies, the combat power of Fusion Cultivation Mode is greatly diminished; we are simply no match for the Mechanical Spider army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Bai scratched his head, expressing that it was tricky, then looked at A Lan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upper-World Being, do you have any ideas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward A Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the team leader was the boss in the squad, after spending time together, A Lan had become the backbone of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the inquiry, A Lan pondered briefly, organized his words, and nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do have a method that can improve endurance and significantly boost combat power, but doing so also comes with a series of drawbacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upper-World Being, don't keep us in suspense; get straight to the point,\" Tu Bai immediately perked up, looking at A Lan with an expectant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan smiled and nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The problem of weak endurance, where one person suffers severe injury and the whole team needs to rest, can actually be solved by deepening the Soul Fusion Tactics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you browse the Soul Library, you will discover a very miraculous soul; this soul appears to have low intensity, yet it is extremely suitable for our set of fusion tactics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is the Second-Generation Primordial Soul, Sequence 40 in the Soul Library: Life Link.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the teammates immediately opened their Star Vein interfaces and accessed the Soul Library to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect described for this soul was: Release a rule-based blood-qi tether to connect with a target, sharing life; the percentage of damage borne can be freely adjusted, or borne by a single target; specific damage is calculated based on the 'attacked party'; maintaining the connection continuously consumes a slight amount of blood-qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the soul trait description, the eyes of the squad members lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already understood what A Lan intended to convey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Life Link, all players in the team could be constituted into a state of shared life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, there would be no issue of a single teammate suffering severe injury and needing to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through adjustment, the life values of the team members could always be maintained at the same level; when life consumption was severe, they could rest in sync, significantly improving combat endurance and allowing the health bars of teammates to perfectly adapt to every operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the team leader, who had remained silent throughout, raised a doubt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upper-World Being, we all fight in soul form, and the biggest difference between soul form and original form is the inability to bear multiple soul traits for simultaneous use; theoretically, to interconnect the lives of our six team members, five people would need to embed the Life Link soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the problem returns: in monster form, even if we open the second Star Vein slot, we cannot switch to use two types of soul traits; for example, Xiao Bai is in the Mighty Axe form; in this form, he cannot use the Life Link trait, unless he switches to the Life Link form during combat, or fights in original form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, A Lan smiled and nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team Leader, your point is correct; therefore, this soul school requires one person to fight in their original form while the rest of the team continues using their monster forms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That still doesn't add up; assuming I go with the main body form, embedding Life Link can only connect me to a single target; how can I connect to all team members? Identical souls cannot be embedded repeatedly?\" The team leader shook his head, expressing his inability to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is another soul in the Soul Library called Scattered Arrow; its effect allows a type of soul trait to be sliced for use; for example, slicing a single output skill into a group output trait; therefore, Life Link can also achieve multi-target connections through Scattered Arrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap, it really can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get excited yet; let me finish detailing the concept behind this fusion school...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As A Lan spoke, the Soul Fusion Tactics perfected themselves in the minds of the team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Soul Fusion school used Life Link as the core soul for combination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuming the team leader is chosen to fight in main body form, the Star Vein slots need to be embedded with: Qi Devouring, Life Link, and Scattered Arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the soul traits of Life Link and Scattered Arrow, the team leader connects the health pools of all players, activating the team's life-sharing Cultivation Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Bai embeds the single soul Mighty Axe, following the Spirit Artifact output route, combining with the team leader's right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eagle-Headed Demon player above the team leader's head continues with the single Eagle-Headed Demon soul, following the support and reconnaissance route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan transitions into the team's sole damage-soak specialist, embedding the single soul: Rock Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Vein combinations for the remaining two players are: Bind and Light Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of this combination is only one thing: the team leader fighting in original body form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In life-sharing Cultivation Mode, there is no possibility of a weak point being breached by a decapitation strike; every team member is part of the overall health pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In A Lan's conception, this fusion school's gameplay represents an overwhelmingly powerful force among peers of the same rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage distribution method of the Life Link soul is calculated based on the player receiving the hit; therefore, as long as A Lan, transformed into Rock Shield, bears the damage, the health deduction for the whole team is calculated and distributed based on A Lan's physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the effect of the Rock Shield trait is to consume blood-qi to gain continuous extra defense enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the defense intensity is not as high as that of a Gargoyle with the Petrification trait activated, the defense intensity in normal Cultivation Mode is far higher than that of a Gargoyle, and theoretically, the thicker the health pool, the higher the defense intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, in team Cultivation Mode, the entire squad shares hunting experience; all members grow synchronously, equivalent to a single entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of overall strength, the fused form's health pool is the sum of six players, while also possessing the strongest defensive shield and the strongest melee weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the two auxiliary divine skills, Binding Fate Soul and Light Shield Fate Soul, it can achieve invincibility within the same realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting across realms is not difficult either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the number of usable Fate Soul traits, it is even superior to veteran players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of usable Fate Soul traits has reached eight, equivalent to possessing eight Star Vein slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of growth, this fusion model's growth speed is also extremely fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the team leader focusing on opening Star Vein slots to increase the number of usable traits, the other players in the team follow a single Fate Soul growth model similar to the Monster Stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in monster form, one cannot use the traits of other Fate Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discussing this, A Lan proposed a future direction for Fate Soul selection within the Fusion Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suggested adding Shattered Blade (penetration damage), Extreme Speed (consuming health and qi to improve action efficiency), and Thirsty Blood Mark (continuous health regeneration during combat) to the foundational three of Qi Devouring, Life Link, and Scattered Arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team leader only needs to open six Star Vein slots for this fusion model to be considered preliminarily perfected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If new members join their team's fusion model in the future, the tentative plan for the new members' Fate Soul selection is to prioritize the Qi Devouring Fate Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuming another ten Qi Devouring Fate Souls are linked to the team leader, it would provide the team under the Life Link Cultivation Mode with ten times the health regeneration efficiency of Qi Devouring at the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, other auxiliary and combat traits can be added on this foundation to enhance combat capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best to add one more player willing to sacrifice themselves by following the Monster Stream mount path to serve as the team leader's mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that every member of the team serves as an enhancement module for the team leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Fate Soul Fusion Stream gameplay also has a series of drawbacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All players must sacrifice themselves for the team leader's power growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Future battles will be participated in as fused components; once some players leave the team, their individual combat power outside becomes nearly negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the individual, the game experience would become very poor, as they would essentially become mere combat accessories for the team leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second drawback is that using certain trait abilities requires voice communication in the chat channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike a single player with multiple Fate Soul traits who can exert control at will, team synergy must be accumulated bit by bit through actual combat, so coordination issues will definitely arise in the early stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final drawback is that the team's carrying capacity is limited; having too many members would instead become a burden, unless a Fate Soul trait appears in the future that can store teammates in an independent space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that day truly comes, theoretically, the team leader could infinitely increase the number of enhancement modules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, equipping one hundred Qi Devouring Fate Souls would allow full health recovery in a few seconds, making the team leader hunting outside an unkillable cockroach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining the pros and cons of this Star Vein combination, A Lan smiled and stated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the body of a novice player, rivaling veteran players, I shall name this Fate Soul Fusion Sect: The Immortal Fused Vajra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",6757,"2026-06-19T09:20:35.554Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","39f0cd6daf84820af1359403da42625ddfbbfa3f6fa60a03d40c0b61b38f423c","monsters-are-coming-chapter-194","monsters-are-coming-chapter-192",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
