Inside the bronze altar, Lin Xiao's right pupil split into a gear-like shape. The First Generation Overseer's memories surged in like a tide—one million epochs ago, they had used the Quantum Immortal Slaying Array to fold the Primordial Chaos Sea into 129,000 experimental zones, with every Jiejiao Disciple serving as a carefully designed observation variable.
The so-called gathering of myriad immortals was nothing more than a bacterial colony experiment in a culture dish. The Observer Colossus's sonic waves shattered Lin Xiao's dantian, only to reconstruct his Purple Mansion with bronze gears. "Look at the Sect Master Tongtian prototypes you worship."
As the gears turned, Lin Xiao saw the first-generation testing ground: countless Sect Master Tongtian prototypes floated within glass cultivation chambers, neural bundles from the Chaos Green Lotus connected to their backs. Whenever a prototype comprehended Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, its cerebrospinal fluid would be extracted and injected into the lotus's roots.
"No... this can't be real!" Lin Xiao's modern cultivation primordial spirit was collapsing, yet the Overseer genes forced him to watch: when the first-generation Interception Sect was destroyed, twelve colossi used the God-Slaying Spear Matrix to refine a hundred thousand cultivators into fertilizer for the green lotus, encoding their screams into the Heavenly Dao Laws.
At that very instant, the Green Ping Sword fragment that had been quietly embedded in the altar suddenly burst forth with dazzling green light! Like lightning, it swiftly pierced through the Four Gates of Immortal Slaying in the primary universe, triggering a breathtaking quantum entanglement.
At the same time, a vague phantom quietly emerged within Lin Xiao's sea of consciousness. It was unexpectedly the Chaos Dao Pattern Qin Yu had left behind before he dispersed! Like a ghost, it whispered to Lin Xiao, "Look carefully at the serial numbers on those cultivation chambers!"
Lin Xiao's heart clenched. His gaze swept over the surrounding cultivation chambers like that of an eagle. Suddenly, his gear-shaped right eye seemed to be activated by some force, automatically decoding the information hidden on the chambers.
Beneath the collarbone of every Tongtian prototype was branded a mysterious emblem—"HJ-07"! The discovery made Lin Xiao's body tremble uncontrollably. He stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
When he tremblingly tore open his collar, he discovered in horror that the same brand was slowly emerging upon his skin.
"Hongjun Seventh Generation..." Lin Xiao murmured, his voice laden with fear and despair.
Before he could recover from the shock, the Observer Colossus's Quantum Immortal Slaying Array suddenly emitted a piercing alarm. Immediately afterward, countless red beams wrapped tightly around Lin Xiao like a spiderweb.
"This experimental subject model has lost control. Initiating recovery procedure." A cold electronic voice rang beside Lin Xiao's ear, like a judgment from hell.
At the critical moment, the Jade Disc Fragment within the liquid Chaos Green Lotus seemed to sense Lin Xiao's peril and suddenly released a radiant beam of light. Like a meteor, it shot straight into Lin Xiao's brow.
In an instant, the broken primordial spirits of the First Generation Myriad Immortals howled forth like a gale. They rode the Twelve-Grade Technological Lotus Platform, binary Immortal Slaying Sword Art pulsing across its petals, their momentum vast and their might shaking every direction!
"We were wrong..." A Quantum Tai Chi Diagram floated above the white-haired cultivator's head. "Back then, we should never have written the Immortal Slaying Code into the green lotus genome!"
Just as everyone sank into memory and remorse, the Quantum Immortal Slaying Array spun madly, firing fierce rays toward Lin Xiao. Yet the Twelve-Grade Technological Lotus Platform bloomed with brilliant light, and the Binary Immortal Slaying Sword Art transformed into a shield, blocking every ray. The White-haired Cultivator roared, "Activate the Myriad Immortals Combined Attack!" The twelve-grade lotus platforms instantly merged into one, forming an enormous Immortal Slaying Sword that carried the myriad immortals' fury and unwillingness as it slashed toward the Observer Colossus. Unfazed, the Observer Colossus's massive body unfolded at once, and countless bronze gears flew out to collide violently with the Immortal Slaying Sword, erupting in an earth-shaking boom. Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Xiao circulated the Chaos Dao Pattern within his body, attempting to break the Quantum Immortal Slaying Array's seal. Just as he was about to succeed, a mysterious force suddenly descended, sweeping him and the myriad immortals' primordial spirits into an enigmatic space. Within it, an aged yet majestic voice sounded: "Your story is far from over..."
