Lord of Old?

Even after the remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure appeared, the rescue and relocation efforts at the Primal Source Pasture did not stop.

The Lost World Alliance escorted six rescued civilizations, taking the lead in returning to the Primordial Universe Time-Space along the expedition route.

Kakarot, meanwhile, led the Destruction Legion to continue guarding the outer perimeter of Ancestral Nest.

Saine led his Mechanical Engineering Legion into the deepest part of Ancestral Nest.

Helan also stayed.

One of the missions that the Star Tomb Civilization has undertaken for millions of years is to preserve the last remnants of the legacy left by the Lord of Ancient Azure.

Now that the remains are about to leave the Primal Source Pasture, he naturally wants to witness it with his own eyes.

"The earliest ancestors of the Star Tomb Civilization were a group of tomb guardians protected by the Lord of Ancient Azure," Helan said.

"After that war ended, it was he who, before completely losing consciousness, delivered the last Civilization Fire Seed to the edge of the pasture."

"The reason we've stayed here isn't just because we have nowhere else to go."

"It's also because our ancestors once swore that one day they would free the Lord of Ancient Azure from the enslavement of the Source-Devouring Time-Space."

After Helan finished speaking, he slowly knelt down before the enormous remains.

At the same time, all the regular stone tablets on the surface of the Star Tomb Ark also emitted a low hum.

Saine did not interrupt this memorial service that spanned millions of years.

Only after Helan stood up again did he allow the Mechanical Engineering Legion to continue approaching.

The Rule True Body of the Lord of Ancient Azure rules, quietly resided in the center of the Ancestral Nest.

His appearance resembles an ancient stone statue with six arms.

Its body surface is covered with Rule Patterns.

Each line connects to the very essence of the Primal Source Pasture.

On the surface, there are no normal life fluctuations within the Lord of Ancient Azure.

However, his Rule True Body and remaining essence still far surpass those of ordinary Level-12 Peak beings.

Countless bright yellow veins are deeply embedded in every part of the remains.

They continuously draw power from the Lord of Ancient Azure and transform it into nutrients to sustain the operation of the Primal Source Pasture.

This extraction has been going on for millions of years.

If it were an ordinary Level-12 Being, it probably wouldn't even have left the last fragment of the rules.

The remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure still retain a relatively complete outline.

This alone is enough to prove the Lord of Dimension foundation the other party possessed during their lifetime.

"Number all the Source-Devouring Veins by layer," Saine said.

"Do not immediately sever the part connected to the core of the remains."

The Mechanical Engineering Legion then began working around the Lord of Ancient Azure.

Numerous metal platforms and detection devices were deployed on the six arms and throughout the Rule True Body.

The Magic Cube's Cube hovered in front of the remains, beginning to analyze the oldest bright yellow marks.

Saine soon discovered that the power left behind by the Source-Devouring Progenitor was not simply for suppressing the Lord of Ancient Azure.

Several layers of extremely complex Rule Nodes are distributed deep within the origin of the remains.

These nodes are responsible for drawing power.

On the other hand, it is attempting to transfer the remaining will and Rule Authority of the Lord of Ancient Azure to different Devouring Source carriers.

The oldest Source-Devouring Beasts mothers outside the Ancestral Nest were products of this experiment.

However, most of them did not develop complete intelligence.

The Rule Authority it embodied have also crumbled over the long years.

"The World-Realm Emperor Monarch is right," said Saine.

"This is indeed one of the earliest prototypes of the Emperor Monarch System."

The early diversion experiments did not directly create a new Emperor Monarch.

Through the failure of the Lord of Ancient Azure, the Source-Devouring Progenitor confirmed that the Rule Authority could be divided and carried by other individuals for a long time.

The subsequent Seven Emperor Monarchs were clearly the result of continuously refining this system.

However, the existing information about the Primal Source Pasture does not directly explain why the Source-Devouring Progenitor was able to maintain a clear mind for so long.

The division of rules only proves that the various Emperor Monarch took on part of the Mother Time-Space Authority for him.

The core secret that truly enabled the Source-Devouring Progenitor to transcend the Life Constraint remains in his own hands.

Saine was not disappointed.

The raw data he has just received is already a great supplement to his Node Engineering.

The current rule diversion initiated by the Lord of Evil Swamp bears many similarities to the attempt made by the Source-Devouring Progenitor in the past.

The Evil Spirit King, the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, and Yilan, who is currently undergoing a transformation, can all learn from the failure of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

In particular, how to prevent the carrier from completely losing their mind, and how to ensure the long-term stable operation of the diversion nodes.

Saine has found new directions for adjustment from several damaged structures.

"Seal and transfer the entire set of remains first," Saine ordered.

"The Ancestral Nest core was also taken."

He did not conduct deeper experiments directly at the Primal Source Pasture.

This place was once the area controlled by the Source-Devouring Time-Space.

After losing contact with the Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor, other powerful beings from the Source-Devouring Time-Space could arrive at any time.

Hundreds of large Mechanical Platform then surrounded the Lord of Ancient Azure from different directions.

The grayish-white noise-reducing ripples gradually suppressed the regular activity around the remains.

One by one, the silver-gray sealing pillars began to sever the deep connection between the Ancestral Nest and the Primal Source Pasture.

The remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure have long been the most important rule fulcrum of the entire Primal Source Pasture.

If he were to be removed directly, this already dilapidated Dimensional Plane would likely collapse completely in a very short time.

Saine certainly didn't care what the Primal Source Pasture would eventually become.

However, the legions of the Mechanical Civilization and the Lost World Alliance had not yet completely withdrawn.

He then ordered the Engineering Legion to construct a temporary replacement node based on the core materials of the complete Source-Devouring Mother Nest.

Whenever a Origin Veins within the Lord of Ancient Azure is severed, a replacement node will take over the corresponding rule pressure.

As a result, the Primal Source Pasture did not collapse immediately.

This also gave the rear Transport Ship enough time to evacuate.

The World-Realm Passage Mark lights up again at this moment.

The World-Realm Emperor Monarch has clearly been paying close attention to the changes at the Primal Source Pasture.

"Simply relying on devouring and continuous harvesting is indeed not enough for a Dimensional Plane to develop in the long run," said the World-Realm Emperor Monarch.

"Those drained pastures will not recover."

"Individuals who are reassigned also need a more stable growth system."

"I'll contact you again once the follow-up analysis results are available," Saine said.

"I await your news. However, your first priority is to deal with the wrath of the Primordial Ancestor," said the World-Realm Emperor Monarch.

Upon hearing this, Saine's gaze narrowed slightly, and he prepared to resist the retaliatory interception from the main force of the Source-Devouring Time-Space.

This trip to the Primal Source Pasture, however, has further deepened the cooperation between Saine and the World-Realm Emperor Monarch.

Although Saine and the Source-Devouring Time-Space Spacetime are generally hostile, it does not prevent him from mutually benefiting from the needs of the World-Realm Emperor Monarch in certain areas.

The first batch of sealing pillars quickly closed.

The sealed Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor and the Myriad Pastures Source Disc were also sent into the expedition channel at this time.

This Level-12 Peak living sample will also help Saine to compare the rules and structure of the Primal Source Pasture.

Helan then personally placed the last few Ancient Azure Stone Stele preserved by the Star Tomb Civilization around the Mechanical Platform.

These stone tablets can maintain the stability of the outer layer of the remains, preventing them from disintegrating during interdimensional transfer.

The bright yellow veins on the surface of the Lord of Ancient Azure were severed layer by layer from the outermost layer by the Mechanical Engineering Legion.

As the last thick vein connecting the Ancestral Nest began to detach, the Ash Fire the surface of the God of Machines's body suddenly pulsed abnormally.

A faint fluctuation of rules emanated from the depths of the Lord of Ancient Azure's body, which had been dormant for millions of years.

Saine looked up.

The Rule Eye on the forehead of the Lord of Ancient Azure, which had always been closed, slowly opened a crack.

That eye did not release any Level-13 Tier power.

A faint will, almost fading away at any moment, bypassed the surrounding machinery and landed on the God of Machines.

"You..."

"Not a creature from the Source-Devouring Time-Space..."

Skynet immediately issued its highest-level alert.

This is not the instinctive rule left behind by the remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

Rather, it is a personal will that has been dormant for millions of years!

Is this guy still alive?
