"My lord...please continue...grant me...liberation..."

Baxia's hoarse electronic voice echoed over the vast Mercury Sea, carrying an endless weariness weathered by two thousand years of time.

Jiang Han's heart suddenly clenched.

He stood atop the tortoise shell, smeared with blood and engine oil, looking down at those dull, mechanical yellow eyes.

In those eyes that should have only killing instincts, Jiang Han saw emotions deeper and more desperate than any human's.

Blue coolant mixed with glaring blood dripped down Baxia's metal face, which was covered with sword wounds, and splashed onto the bronze floor, creating desolate blood flowers.

[Ding! Target deep memory fragment received!]

Through the neural connection of psychic communication, a long-forgotten scene flooded into Jiang Han's mind like a tide.

It was a dark and gloomy underground factory.

Countless Taoist priests from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, dressed in black robes, manipulated a massive bronze mechanical arm to firmly press an ancient giant tortoise, which was still struggling wildly, onto the operating table.

The scorching hot shape-memory metal was forcibly poured onto its flesh.

Immediately afterwards, twelve enormous demon-suppressing bone nails were driven inch by inch into the depths of the giant tortoise's spine amidst the giant tortoise's heart-wrenching screams!

With every breath and every movement, the bone nail would churn wildly in its nerve center, bringing excruciating pain akin to being slowly sliced ​​apart.

This is not at all some kind of "supreme glory of the guardian beast of the Great Qin".

This is the eternal punishment imposed on this creature by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in order to seal this "world-destroying blind box"!

They deprived it of its freedom, deprived it of its right to die, and made it carry this ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment for generations, suffering unbearable pain and barely surviving for two thousand years under the mercury sea at absolute zero!

"Waaah—"

Baxia let out another low roar.

Instead of resisting, it wriggled its body with great difficulty, and deliberately straightened its broken back, exposing the remaining eleven demon-suppressing chains, which were deeply embedded in its flesh, to the mechanical dragon's claws.

"My lord..."

There was no resentment in Baxia's voice, only a plea.

"I have carried this coffin for two thousand years... suffering day and night... never finding a moment of peace..."

"Today, I beg my lord for mercy... to allow the black dragon to remove all the bone nails... and dismantle my body..."

"Allow me...completely!"

It is seeking death.

Once all twelve bone nails are removed, its central nervous system will completely collapse, and this war machine will be able to face the "death" it has longed for for two thousand years.

The mechanical dragon not far away stood frozen in place.

Its massive claws still gripped the bloodstained bone nail tightly, leaving it unable to advance or retreat.

This killing machine, which was just moments ago incredibly ferocious and wanted to tear everything apart, now resembled a child who had done something wrong.

It turned its massive dragon head to look at Jiang Han, who stood in a pool of blood, and let out a helpless whimper, as if asking for instructions:

"My lord, shall we continue pulling?"

The deathly silence in the live stream was broken.

Countless viewers were deeply moved to tears by this poignant sense of tragedy that transcends millennia.

"Damn it! Those bastards from the Great Qin Heavenly Secrets Pavilion! This is animal cruelty!"

"It's too tragic... carrying a bomb for two thousand years in pain, unable even to die..."

"Jiang Shen, stop it, don't pull it anymore, it will really die if you keep pulling it!"

Jiang Han took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the shock and trace of pity in his eyes had been completely erased.

Instead, it was replaced by extreme tyranny and violence!

Stop.

Jiang Han's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

He strode up to the mechanical dragon and snatched the blood-stained bone nail from its massive metal claws.

With a loud "bang!"

Jiang Han smashed the Demon-Suppressing Nail, which symbolized the highest authority of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, onto the bronze ground as if throwing away trash.

"My men are not for those dead men from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to decide their fate!"

He turned around, stepping through the bloodstains on the ground, and walked step by step to the huge mechanical head of Baxia.

Jiang Han reached out and patted its cold armor hard.

"Want to die? That's wonderful."

Jiang Han looked down at it, a haughty smile playing on his lips, his tone revealing the protectiveness and tyranny unique to a tyrant:

"Is the salary those dead men in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion paid you enough to buy your life?"

"Now that you've acknowledged me as your master, your life is my private property!"

"Without my permission, you don't even have the right to be scrapped!"

Baxia's dim eyes trembled slightly, as if he couldn't understand the logic of his new lord.

Without further ado, Jiang Han decisively activated the system in his mind.

"System, open the black market!"

"Bring me the best potion that can repair this half-flesh, half-machine monster! Don't try to fool me with those cheap mediocre ones that cost a few thousand points!"

[Ding! Host's needs detected. Selecting high-dimensional repair resources...]

[Filtering complete! Now displayed on the system's black market homepage!]

A row of luxurious potions radiating golden light instantly appeared on Jiang Han's retina.

[S-Grade Genetic Mechanical Repair Fluid: Priced at 50000 Exploration Points. Instantly reconstructs severed nerves and damaged armor in S-grade and higher creatures, perfectly fusing flesh and machine.]

[Advanced Liquid Coagulant: Price: 14000 Exploration Points. Forcibly seals fatal wounds within 3 seconds.]

Seeing the astronomical price of 64000 points, Jiang Han didn't even blink.

"I bought them all!"

[Ding! 64000 exploration points deducted!]

Current balance: 5,120,500 points.

As the system notification sounded, Jiang Han reached out and grabbed at the air.

A high-tech syringe, as thick as a forearm and radiating a rich, vibrant green light, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Through the transparent tube walls, you can even see countless nanoscale mechanical insects swimming wildly in the green liquid.

Carrying the priceless divine medicine, Jiang Han strode back to the terrifying blood hole on Baxia's back, where blood was still gushing out.

He raised his foot and stepped on the armor at the edge of the wound, his tone cold, yet carrying a barely perceptible hint of gentleness:

"Expand your defense matrix."

"Bear with it, I'm about to give you a shot."

Upon hearing Jiang Han's words, Baxia's massive body trembled violently.

A flicker of extreme disbelief flashed in its mechanical yellow eyes.

It could not understand how this new ruler, who was even more irritable and tyrannical than the First Emperor, would be willing to expend such a precious divine object for such a broken "tool".

"Waaah..."

Baxia let out an extremely soft whimper.

It slowly closed its mechanical eyes, actively removing all energy shields and rejection reactions from its body, completely exposing its most vulnerable nerve center to Jiang Han without reservation.

Jiang Han gripped the enormous syringe with both hands.

He took a deep breath, aimed at the severed mechanical spinal cord deep inside the blood hole, his eyes narrowed, and he plunged it in fiercely!
