Panlong, I've already become a main god, and the system only just activated.

Clearly, this man was the receptionist arranged in advance by the other party.

Lota looked at the man and was genuinely surprised. A robot?

In Lota's perception, the man's body was entirely made of machinery, and even his appearance was made of some special material, rather than real skin.

Not just this man, but most of the people around him were almost all these "robots".

In reality, the empire's scope largely comprised what Lota considered "mechanized" things. Its technological artifacts far surpassed those in Lota's "Blue Star memories."

If you only looked at the surrounding life, Lota would even think that this was a scene from millions of years after the development of Earth.

This is the most unique race in technological civilization: the Machine Race. They are also the only race unable to reproduce on their own. All members of their race are manufactured.

Zero appeared in the words before Lota.

Mechanical race?

'This is different from a mecha.'

Lota was secretly amazed.

[Completely different. Mechs are also products of technological civilization. Although they are powerful, they are inferior to mechanical races in terms of level. Members of the mechanical race can be treated as 'living beings'; they possess their own 'consciousness.' Mechs, on the other hand, must be piloted and controlled by living beings and do not have their own consciousness.]

Zero explained one sentence.

"magic."

Lota sighed and then walked into the round fortress.

Actually, Lota could find the other person without the receptionist's guidance, but Lota didn't say much because he sensed that the guy's condition was indeed somewhat special.

Soon, the receptionist led Lota to a large door on the top floor, then bowed to Lota and said, "Your Majesty, I will go down now."

Lota looked at the completely mechanical and technologically advanced gate and sighed, waving the guy away.

Then, the technological gate in front of them opened automatically, and a mechanical voice rang out, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on attaining the Dao of God King."

Lota smiled and stepped through the door. Before her stood a specially made, deep blue "screen." On the screen appeared the figure of a woman.

Looking at the figure on the big screen, Lota was still surprised; it really was just as she had sensed.

This god-king's state is truly quite different.

It's not so much a state as it is a different form. After all, judging from the previous telepathic communication and Lota's perception, this virtual figure can unleash all the divine powers of the God King.

It is a genuine god-king.

A virtual system god-king who has mastered the laws of space?

This is an idea that Lota just had.

At the same time, Lota had some guesses about the state of zero.

"Fellow Daoist, did you not previously travel within my Mechanical Universe Kingdom?"

The virtual figure looked at Lota and smiled.

"I have always practiced asceticism and rarely traveled."

Lota replied.

The virtual figure smiled and said, "It is a great honor for my Mechanical Universe Kingdom that you have come here to prove your Dao."

After a pause, the virtual figure asked directly, "I wonder if you are alone, or if you have a family? I received information about the Blue Strike Empire before, and it seems you wish to join it?"

Clearly, this virtual figure already knew Lota's previous information.

Although the gods are powerful, they are not much. However, if they can recruit a being at the God-King level, they will definitely not give up.

Lota smiled and said, "Back then, I had no hope of breaking through, so I just wanted to find a place to cultivate. Now that I'm breaking through, it doesn't matter anymore."

The virtual figure was not surprised and clearly knew that a Blue Strike Empire could not possibly recruit a God-King.

Any god-king can create a vast empire with just a single word.

God-King and Heavenly God are completely different beings.

"Where does this fellow Daoist intend to go next?"

The virtual figure asked a question casually.

Lota glanced at the virtual figure, about to speak, then remembered something and said, "I wonder if there is any Fallen God Grass in the Mechanical Universe Kingdom?"

This Fallen God Grass is an extremely precious item that Zero gave us before, and it seems to be of some help in Ilitana's awakening.

"The Fallen God Grass?"

The virtual figure clearly knew about this thing and didn't ask any further questions. "If you need it, I can arrange to find it. It won't take long."

"Thank you very much."

Lota expressed her gratitude.

Soon, Lota settled into a special accommodation for the time being.

After blocking out everything around her, Lota asked herself, 'Why are you staying here for now?'

With Lota's current strength, he could easily search for the Fallen God Grass in the universe on his own. However, Zero suddenly appeared with words, wanting to stay in this mechanical kingdom for the time being.

After a pause, Zero displayed the following text: "[You should be able to guess some of my situation. Although I don't belong to the Machine Race, I'm similar to that virtual consciousness; we belong to the same race. To fully recover, I need some energy here.]"

[If I can recover, I'm confident I can fully revive your little plant. Otherwise, relying solely on the Fallen God Grass only offers a possibility of recovery; it's not guaranteed.]

Thinking of Ilitana, Lota paused for a moment, then quickly changed the subject, tacitly agreeing to stay for the time being, 'What races are you and that virtual character?'

Zero no longer concealed this fact, [Technology Clan].

"Tech people?"

Lota raised an eyebrow. A race named directly after a type of civilization?

This is as bizarre as someone calling themselves a fairy-demon race, a biological race, or a magical race.

Seemingly sensing Lota's curiosity, Zero explained in detail, "Any technology within this universe originates from our technological race. This includes the machine race, mechs, and any technological artifacts; theoretically, they should all be our 'descendants.'"

From the moment of our birth, we, the Tech-Creative Race, have possessed immense power. However, precisely because of this power, we are also limited by the universe; we have never had a physical body to correspond to it.

"So, you're actually just a wisp of consciousness?"

Lota narrowed her eyes slightly.

[Not entirely accurate, but this is a general understanding.]

Zero displayed a sentence, not elaborating on this point, and then continued to explain, "[It is also because of this that we create various carriers of ourselves, and even infuse these carriers with powerful energy using our own abilities.]"

"And so, mechs and the mechanical race were born?"

Lota also found it incredible.

Having created a race and a powerful civilization on their own, the strength of this technological race is probably far beyond what he currently understands.

Yes. It was later discovered that any medium for creation can only temporarily serve as our body. And the more complex the medium for creation, the more we want to fully utilize our abilities.

The text that appears without any discernible emotional fluctuation reveals, [however, within this context, we discover that we can create a series of 'pseudo-consciousnesses' based on our own awareness. These 'pseudo-consciousnesses' can be fully contained within the carriers we create. This is the current state of the mechanical race, and all the various objects referred to as 'intelligence'.]

This can be considered one of the methods we've found for 'reproducing'.

Chapter 90 Unexpected Changes

Lota quickly figured out some of the differences between the Machine Race and the Tech Race.

This mechanical race actually shares similarities with the fallen angels he previously controlled; both are essentially 'humanoid weapons.' Moreover, as creators, their consciousness can occupy the bodies of others, using those bodies as temporary vessels.

However, whether they are fallen angels or angels of light, their consciousness is merely the 'consciousness' of life before it becomes an angel, and their bodies are all born from the angelic reincarnation pool. The mechanical race's bodies, on the other hand, are created by the technological race, and their consciousness is a 'pseudo-consciousness' created by the technological race.

It can be said that the Machine Race is a race entirely created by the Technological Race itself, and in this respect, the Technological Race's capabilities far surpass those of the main gods.

However, it was also because of this that Lota had a vague idea of ​​the power of the Tech Clan.

Since all the mechanical races were created, could we say that if the technological races needed life, could the entire mechanical race they created be transformed into a single human being?

So, the Dark Mechanical Universe Empire he is currently in might actually just be the virtual god-king Skadi's 'self-entertainment'?

After all, the mechanical races of the entire Dark Mechanical Universe Empire were created by Skadi, or at least manufactured in places similar to an 'assembly line'.

At the same time, 'pseudo-consciousness' was also a fabrication of Skadi.

Adding to Zero's previous description, in order to unleash greater power, their carriers need to be more complex and powerful. So, is the infinite creation of mechanical races one of their ways to become stronger?

For a moment, Lota held Skadi in even higher regard, or rather, the life of the Tech Race.

Does zero also have its own form?

Or rather, it once had its own medium.

How do you restore your energy?

Lota asked herself a question.

Even with zero wariness, he was still prepared to give it a try because of Ilitana. He didn't know when it started, but he had grown accustomed to Ilitana's presence.

He was ultimately just a living being, not an emotionless machine.

[Although the Tech-Clan lifeforms have no physical form, they do possess their own core. You only need to stay here and cultivate in seclusion; I will handle the rest.]

Zero appeared in the text, seemingly worried that Lota might overthink it, and continued to explain, "Don't worry, I swear I won't do anything to you, otherwise I'll have the Creator God destroy my consciousness."

"The creator god?"

Lota's heart skipped a beat.

In the magical universe, the only being known by the chief gods is the supreme god. The supreme god governs heaven and earth, and even the chief gods cannot disobey the supreme god's oath. They are unaware of the primordial chaos beyond heaven and earth.

However, there is no supreme god in the main universe.

But Zero mentioned the Creator God. Could it be that the powerful beings within the main universe know about the existence beyond heaven and earth? Know about the Primordial Chaos?

Seemingly aware of Lota's confusion, Zero explained, "In your own subordinate universe, there are already people who can guess what happens beyond the heavens and earth; naturally, there will be people within this universe who can guess as well."

In this universe, almost all beings who reach the level of God-King are definitely beings from beyond the heavens and earth. Just as our technological race created the mechanical race, aren't we also created by that great being?

Lota paused for a moment.

In 'Blue Star Memories', the Panlong World was pre-written; the main universe only mentioned it briefly, and no one knows its details. It's very likely that it has already transcended the realm of being "pre-written."
