Chapter 510: The Arrival of the Steam Era!
Along one side of the towering semi‑corporeal deep‑space cliff wall, a twisted, rugged rocky passage spreads toward the darkness.
There are more than twenty companions, each of whom is at the Chao Shen Da Shi level.
Some are shabbily dressed, some exude a hidden aura, some are solemn, silent, and press on.
Members of every tribe are present, and leading the way at the front is the Chao Shen Da Shi of the Mechanical Clan.
Among the Chao Shen Da Shi crowd.
Ta Ke's projection, disguised as a Chao Shen Da Shi, silently follows the group through this Main World edge‑gap passage.
And passing through the "Main World Rift Passage" to enter other Main Worlds is the method the star‑fire Mechanical Clan deities gave Ta Ke to access them.
Only after first hearing from the deities that he must cross the Main World Rift Passage did Ta Ke feel somewhat skeptical.
The deities' instructions are extremely detailed and reliable.
"The Green Star Clan uses the Mechanical Clan's corpses to build reconnaissance forces throughout the various Main Worlds."
Originally, Star Scar Crows populated every corner of the Star Scar Crow Main World, serving as the fate emblem of the entire Main World.
That means extracting certain primordial items from the Main World so that entrants can conduct sufficient ecological cycles in advance.
This provides Ta Ke with a fertile ecological environment for traversing and settling.
Lower‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi and ordinary Chao Shen are easy to handle.
Yet in the shadowed corners, these Main Worlds still have many concealed passages to the outside.
And these remote, barren corners align with Ta Ke's intention to enter those Main Worlds.
"Entering a Main World through a rift is an undetected core power."
"Trying to enter the world ruled by the Green Star Clan through normal channels is virtually impossible."
It is fully qualified to confront, even to contaminate, the Green Star Clan's vine‑sequence civilization.
The Mechanical Clan has launched the Steam·Mechanical·Origin Project, preparing to fully welcome the power of the Steam Sequence.
The Mechanical deities already have a solution for this.
It is said that in the Star Scar Crow Main World, the Star Scar has already given rise to a fairly good ecology.
And Ta Ke has begun the Mechanical Clan's tailor‑made Main World Travel Plan for him.
Many areas of the Main World remain in a state of resistance.
Although protected by Mechanical ecology, the Main World's repelling forces have been partially resolved.
Calling it a Travel Plan, the Mechanical Clan naturally knows what Ta Ke intends to do.
"This grants Mechanical Ecology a strong protective power across many Main Worlds."
"Because the Green Star Clan overuses the Mechanical Clan's metal."
Resisters similar to the Mechanical Clan are countless.
Ta Ke's weak demigod rank, together with his Steam divine power, makes it hard for him to pierce such a 'rift'.
Beyond that, in the many Main Worlds seized by the Green Star Clan.
However, entering a Main World through a rift remains extremely difficult for someone of Ta Ke's stature.
Yet, under the Green Star Clan's invasion and slaughter.
At this moment, the Main World Ta Ke enters is the Star Scar Crow Main World.
In other words, today, in this alien land, the Steam Sequence ecology's response to Mechanical ecology's incursion demonstrates the astonishingly strong invasiveness of the Steam Sequence.
After the overall plan is drafted.
Thus, resistance is destined to be suppressed and hard to succeed.
Even when the original Main World ecological controllers governed the world, these hidden passages were difficult to control.
The Travel Plan is Ta Ke's scheme to inject Steam·Black Mist·Star Web Ecology into the many Main Worlds.
These Main Worlds already possess certain zones of chaos.
After about three months, under the Mechanical Clan's operation, Ta Ke successfully reached the edge of the Star Scar Crow Main World.
And he also cultivated fate‑creatures like the Star Scar Crow.
This allows early ecological integration, avoiding rejection, and thus easily entering the remote barren corners of each Main World.
Moreover, invaders like the Green Star Clan.
Then, the Green Star Clan's invasion arrived.
Even though the Green Star Clan governs the territories they have seized.
The Steam·Black Mist·Star Web Ecology in Ta Ke's hands, after many revisions, is now sufficiently powerful.
Fortunately!
To oppose the Green Star Clan.
If we cannot defeat the Green Star Clan's vine‑sequence ecology.
Regardless of how the Steam ecology performs over at the Flora Cosmic Mountain Range.
The Star Scar Crows are on the brink of extinction.
Traversing the Main World rift for about a week, Ta Ke successfully arrived at the Star Scar Crow Main World.
The landing point is a desolate mountain desert.
In this remote barren land, Ta Ke's Steam·Star Web Ecology is well suited to develop.
Scattered across mountains, oases, dunes and other energy‑source nodes are points where Steam·Star Web Ecology takes root.
Moreover, the radiation power of the Steam Star Web is astonishing.
Even at great distances, it can still radiate there.
Initially, radiating the Steam Star Web across the entire Flora Cosmic Mountain Range took little time.
Radiating these Main Worlds consumes a bit more time, but the final result is not significantly different.
Facing the Green Star Clan's invasion, Ta Ke's counter‑steam‑ecology invasion gave the Green Star Clan a real headache.
About a year and a half later, in the Main World of Star‑Scar Crow, after burying thousands of steam‑ecology seeds—some obvious, some hidden, some large, some small—in every secluded corner.
Ta Ke left the Main World of Star‑Scar Crow.
He set out for the next world, continuing his journey through main worlds.
Each world requires at least one to two years, plus another half‑year of travel.
In roughly two to three years, Ta Ke can traverse a main world.
Besides cycling the ecology and deeply understanding each main world's ecological traits.
He spreads his Steam Wizard Sequence in those main worlds that have independent ecologies.
That is also what Ta Ke needs to do.
The Voyager Preacher
That is another identity of Ta Ke.
In fact, Ta Ke's preaching in these worlds has been quite effective.
After inheriting the Steam Wizard Sequence, its power is evident to anyone who uses it.
Apart from some initial difficulties in spreading it.
Once the Steam Sequence began to bloom on a small scale, people learned of the Steam Wizard Sequence's strength.
Soon, Chao Shen Da Shi yearning for great power swarmed in.
Across three consecutive Chao Shen Da Shi worlds, the Steam Wizard Sequence's power was not only embraced by many Chao Shen Da Shi, but Ta Ke also encountered some resistance groups.
Those resistance groups opposing the Green Star Clan showed no resistance at all to Ta Ke's Steam Wizard Sequence; on the contrary, they coveted it greatly.
At this point, the difference between Ta Ke's Steam Sequence Ecology invasion and the Green Star Clan's Green Star Vines Ecology invasion became clear.
Steam Ecology strengthens the existing ecology without altering it, representing ecological growth, evolution, and metamorphosis!
In contrast, Green Star Vines Ecology seeks to eradicate the original main‑world ecology of these worlds.
Thus the Vines Sequence Ecology takes root and sprouts in those worlds.
It then draws the source of the main world to fuel the Green Star main world's ecological growth.
Firmly treating these main worlds as his own "experience packs".
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth…
Ta Ke travels through one main world after another.
Time flies by rapidly.
…………
Chaos Green Star Main World, edge‑world fissure.
A team of Chao Shen Da Shi silently traverses deep within the fissure passage.
While all factions are present, a few Green Star members are interspersed, slightly conspicuous.
After all, others use these "smuggling" channels to enter or leave the Green Star Clan's main world, either for personal gain, to evade pursuers, or to oppose the Green Star Clan.
This alone makes the team's composition very complex.
Moreover, the Green Star Clan's own sects also move through these hidden dark corridors, further complicating the team's makeup.
However, some powerful Chao Shen Da Shi sensed the heavy, profound, twisted aura of those Green Star members—as if bearing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—and began to understand a bit!
Those Green Star Chao Shen Da Shi are likely city‑slayers, nation‑destroyers, mostly fugitives.
"Did you hear? A few days ago a steam war broke out in the Star‑Dai Main World."
Someone whispered while moving.
"Of course we heard. Supposedly during that period the mechanical virtual network in the Star‑Dai Main World was shut down, and those steam rebels were astonishingly strong, consecutively capturing over a hundred legendary city‑states and slaying many legendary Green Star warriors."
"Tsk tsk… captured that many legendary city‑states?"
"Could that be false?"
"Not only did they loot massive resources, they also wiped out the traitors who had defected to the Green Star Clan completely."
"Moreover, the commanders there were quite strategic; knowing they could not withstand Green Star reinforcements, they withdrew before the massive wave of legendary Green Star warriors arrived."
"This steam rebel army's uprising in the Star‑Dai Main World caused ripples across many worlds."
"Many steam rebels previously suppressed have this time launched steam counterattacks in several places, with fairly effective results."
"This time, the revolution of the Steam Sequence erupted, and many fate‑watchers say it sounded the death horn for the Green Star Clan."
"I've also heard that this steam ecology bloom includes many interesting steam heroes."
"Hehe… when the Starlight Giant Sequence was dispatched before, they said the same!"
Some in the crowd believed, while others did not.
"This time it's different."
"Previously, when the Starlight Giant Sequence fought the Green Star Clan in the Furora Cosmic Mountains, it did not have the upper hand."
"This time, the steam ecology in the Furora Cosmic Mountains, even without the Steam Originators preaching the sequence there,"
"still achieved absolute superiority, expanding with crushing force."
"Now, in the Cosmic Mountains, the Steam Sequence has become the unequivocal strongest sequence—that's the consensus."
"Even those elven realms have been forced to undergo the baptism of the Steam Sequence."
The "Disguiser" Ta Ke Lamor among the followers listened closely to the legends of the Steam Sequence, a strange feeling swirling in his heart.
"The elves of the A Fang realm once hunted me, and now they accept the Steam Sequence?"
Ta Ke gently rubbed his palm and gave a light smile.
"Indeed, Reality is the truest preacher; even if you don't believe, you must."
"If you had gotten along with me earlier, I might have shared some of the origin‑faith of the Cosmic Mountains' Steam Ecology with you, just as I now share the origin of the Steam‑Mechanical Ecology with the Mechanical clans."
"What a pity… you have chosen to stand on the opposite side of me."
"As a result, not only were you forced to adopt the Steam Sequence ecology, you also lost the status and qualification of being the Originator of the Steam Ecology of the Cosmic Mountain."
"Hmm… it seems that over at the Cosmic Mountain, some Steam Ecology Originator rituals are underway."
"However, the Steam Ecology weaving I am currently performing is beyond your ability to counter; it would be futile."
Just as Ta Ke was pondering, someone else continued speaking.
"It is said that the Steam Originator—Ta Ke Lamor—has been continuously traversing the various main worlds these years."
"The Green Star Clan now desperately wants to capture that Ta Ke; even the Sequence Sovereign has interacted with the primal forces of the main worlds, aiming to seize Ta Ke, yet after all these years they still haven't caught him."
"That guy is too cunning."
"His cunning is one thing, but if he is alone, a single log cannot make a boat, making it harder for him to oppose the Green Star Clan."
"Primarily, Ta Ke Lamor has allied with the Burning Star Mechanical Clan; it is said that the Burning Star Mechanical Clan has now launched a large‑scale Steam Mechanical Originator ceremony to usher in a new era of the Steam Era."
"Now that you mention it, I recall that in recent years the steam rebels across the main worlds have gained momentum, especially the Steam Mechanical Clan, which is gradually becoming powerful in the Steam Era."
"Some time ago, deep in the void, legendary Steam Mechanical warriors clashed with the Green Star Clan, achieving a sweeping victory and slaying many of the Clan's legendary strongmen; reportedly the Green Star Clan's higher‑ups have kept these events suppressed, unwilling to disclose them."
"It's not only now that the Steam Mechanical Clan has begun to act."
"More importantly, the Starlight Giant has been holding the line against the Green Star Clan's assaults on multiple battlefields."
"Because the Starlight Giant has withstood the attacks, the Mechanical Clan and various steam rebels can launch multiple small‑scale wars against the Green Star Clan, causing it to bleed internally in its world."
"To put it bluntly, the Starlight Giant truly can fight and endure."
Just as the crowd grew more animated.
Someone in the crowd suddenly asked.
"Hey… the guy you call Ta Ke Lamor, who is so powerful, is he some great deity?"
The voice was rough and strong, and for a moment everyone turned to look.
The asker turned out to be a Green Star Clan senior Chao Shen Da Shi bearing a blood‑red great axe.
"You… don't even know this?"
"Ta Ke Lamor, the Steam Sequence Creator known to everyone in the main worlds these years!" someone declared.
"Hehe… I've been locked in a prison for over five hundred years, touched the Legendary Realm, then broke through the cage to get out. Isn't that just normal?" the Green Star Clan senior Chao Shen Da Shi said discontentedly.
When those words were spoken, many fellow travelers felt a chill in their hearts.
Being imprisoned for five hundred years, touching the Legendary Realm, and breaking through the cage—such a résumé marks a truly formidable figure.
And venturing into this hidden, secluded area might just lead to a black‑on‑black encounter.
Meanwhile, the steam mechanical master leading the way, unfazed, slowly spoke.
"Ta Ke Lamor doesn't even know; your information is indeed too isolated."
"Ta Ke Lamor, the Steam Originator, is a demigod, not a true god."
"But achieving true godhood in the future would be without pressure."
"What? The Ta Ke Lamor you've been talking about all this time is the demigod?"
The Green Star Clan great‑axe Chao Shen Da Shi who heard this was slightly stunned.
"A demigod that leaves the Green Star Clan's strong ones helpless? That's utterly inconceivable!"
"Know that many powerful deities struggle to make any splash when confronting the Green Star Clan!"
The steam mechanical master leading the way smiled.
"This is the might of Ta Ke Lamor, the Steam Originator; this is the might of the Steam Sequence."
"The era of the Steam Sequence Epoch has arrived!"
"Furthermore… you all stop thinking about causing trouble; even if you band together, I can crush you dead."
Saying this, the steam mechanical master let out a faint aura.
He has already become a quasi‑legendary mechanical strongman who has bound the legendary seed.
In an instant, those scheming Green Star Clan members slightly reined in their thoughts.
The Mechanical Clan's difficulty to deal with is well known; combined with the Steam Sequence, it becomes even stronger.
Amid the crowd, listening to everyone's exposition, feeling the overt and covert struggles and hidden games, Ta Ke moved like a tiny invisible in a corner, silently advancing with the group.
Watching the exit area ahead about to be reached, Ta Ke breathed lightly.
"Indeed… the Steam Era is coming!"
【Travel Plan】 Traversed the six main worlds controlled by the Green Star Clan, plus the chaotic Green Star main world.
At the same time, Ta Ke also visited three other main worlds that were in a state of war.
Altogether, it consumed more than twenty years.
During this long span, the first few worlds that adopted the Steam Sequence ecology have already unleashed astonishing power.
Although for now it still cannot truly cripple the Green Star Clan.
But it has already been able to drain a considerable amount of the Clan's energy.
From these discussions, some clues can be discerned.
Moreover, as time passes.
The invasion of the steam ecology has put the Green Star Clan into a hemorrhagic state, leading up to the collapse of this colossal being!
Currently.
The Steam Sequence ecology of Flora Cosmic Mountain, and the core— the Steam Star Net Chaotic Star Core ecology on the Chaotic Ancient Continent, have begun to take effect.
Using the Steam Sequence ecology of Flora Cosmic Mountain and the Steam Star Net Chaotic Star Core ecology of the Chaotic Ancient Continent, the Steam Sequence Staircase woven together now boasts considerable scale.
It can be said that now Ta Ke's foundation for divinity has already been formed.
Having concluded his travels through foreign main worlds, Ta Ke returns to his divine kingdom's main world, where he will first undergo promotion, the ascension to demigod.
Subsequently, the half‑god expedition ceremony will commence.
An expedition against the Dark Sun Evil God.
It is also an expedition against the Green Star Clan!
