The secrets of the Emperor Monarch System

When the message from the World-Realm Emperor Monarch arrived in the Gear Time-Space, the first round of investigation into the remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure had already begun.

Saine did not respond immediately.

Deep within the Central Experimental Cluster, the colossal body of the Lord of Ancient Azure by Rules Body, was suspended in mid-air by hundreds of silver-gray Mechanical Platform.

The six arms extend into different areas.

The dark brown lines on the body surface and the remaining bright yellow phage structures presented distinctly different layers under the projection of the Skynet.

The Ancient Azure Stone Stele brought by Helan was placed around the remains.

Whenever the Mechanical Probe approaches the depths of the source, a stone tablet lights up, marking out a region of Civilization Inheritance that Saine cannot easily touch.

Lina stood near the chest of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

A Power of Rules emerged from her fingertips and slowly moved along the interior of the remains.

What she was responsible for identifying was not the Source-Devouring Rule itself.

Rather, it is the boundary between the remnant will of the Lord of Ancient Azure and those negative, corrosive forces.

The Little Fox Girl carried several newly compiled records, shuttling back and forth between different experimental platforms.

Serena then archived the historical images transmitted back by the Ancient Azure Stone Stele according to the changes in time and rules.

Dragon Girl Mel led a group of Mechanical Assistant to inspect the two relatively well-preserved arms of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

These tasks cannot directly bring about earth-shattering increases in power.

However, the absence of any one of these steps could lead to deviations in subsequent experiments.

The Luluman lingered near the head of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

The Rule of Life she unleashed were gentler than other forces.

Large patches of emerald green light did not enter the remains, but instead floated slowly around them.

Whenever a faint fluctuation of will emanates from within the Lord of Ancient Azure, these points of light will change accordingly.

"His personal will was not integrated into the Devourer Structure," Luluman said.

"It's more like it's fallen into some kind of very deep hibernation."

Saine moved the results of the Magic Cube calculations to Luluman's front.

"The Soul Light has been completely extinguished."

"This wisp of will lacks the foundation for a true revival," Saine said regretfully.

"I know," Luluman replied.

A seed that has lost its vitality can never grow back into the plant it once was.

"However, the information it retained can still be retrieved completely."

As she spoke, Luluman slowly covered the forehead of the Lord of Ancient Azure with a patch of emerald green light.

At the same time, Saine also reduced the operating intensity of the surrounding mechanical devices.

A wisp of dark brown will, almost imperceptible to normal perception, then emerged from the Source-Devouring Veins.

It did not leave the remains of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

It's just that it's gradually creating a small gap between itself and the suppressive structure left by the Progenitor Source Seal.

"That's enough," Saine said.

A pale gray-white, Final Silence Radiance immediately enveloped the surrounding area.

The bright yellow veins that were still trying to entangle the ancient will have their activity greatly reduced.

At this moment, Helan presented a well-preserved Ancient Azure Stone Stele.

After the dark brown will established a connection with the stone tablet, the previously fragmented historical scenes finally began to connect.

What Saine saw first was the early attempt by the Source-Devouring Progenitor to divide the Rule Authority of the Lord of Ancient Azure's rules.

A large amount of the original essence was forcibly stripped from the Lord of Ancient Azure and injected into different carriers.

Among those vessels were the mother bodies of the Source-Devouring Beasts, as well as the remains of Dimensional Strong Practitioner whose consciousness had been completely erased.

For a period of time initially, these carriers were indeed able to help the Source-Devouring Progenitor share some of the pressure from the rules.

But as time went on, problems soon emerged.

High-level authority without the guidance of individual will will continuously spiral out of control within the entity it represents.

A portion of the carriers experienced rule-breaking.

Others were completely assimilated by the chaotic will of the Mother Time-Space, eventually reverting to being rule-bound monsters that only knew how to devour.

The most serious instance of the loss of control even affected nearly a quarter of the area of Primal Source Pasture.

A vessel that originally possessed Level-12 Power Level completely lost control after receiving too much authority.

His Rule True Body expanded to a level exceeding that of ordinary planes, before suddenly exploding under the impact of chaotic will.

The Source-Devouring Progenitor had no choice but to personally take action to reclaim the authority scattered throughout the ranch.

The other entities, stripped of their individual consciousness, gradually merged into the Ancestral Nest structure.

They didn't collapse, but they also couldn't continue to grow.

It can only operate like a mechanical part, repeating the instructions left behind by the Source-Devouring Progenitor.

This method of sustaining existence can last for a long time, but it cannot give birth to a true Emperor Monarch- level being.

Early shunt experiments subsequently failed.

"High-level rules aren't something that can be preserved indefinitely simply by putting them in a container," Saine said.

"It requires the entity that carries it to understand, organize, and maintain its operation."

This also means that when the Source-Devouring Progenitor later constructed the Emperor Monarch System, he had to allow each Emperor Monarch to retain their complete personal will.

Only in this way can the Seven Emperor Monarchs each bear different Mother Time-Space Authority.

However, the existence of independent will means that Emperor Monarch cannot become puppets who completely obey orders.

The World-Realm Emperor Monarch is the most obvious example of this.

The more complete the rules he establishes outside the Mother Time-Space, the weaker the constraints imposed on him by the Source-Devouring Progenitor.

"No wonder the Source-Devouring Progenitor didn't directly erase his will," Lina said.

"He can't do that," Saine replied.

"Until a new stable structure is found, he still needs the World-Realm Emperor Monarch."

Helan remained in the outer observation area throughout.

When he saw the ancient scene of the Lord of Ancient Azure having his power divided, the black star pattern on his face almost completely stopped turning.

These events, which occurred millions of years ago, were only vaguely documented by the Star Tomb Civilization.

Only now does Helan truly know what the Lord of Ancient Azure endured after his fall.

"The progenitor used the failures of his ancestors to build the foundation for the Seven Emperor Monarchs who followed," Helan said in a low voice.

"To be precise, it was the failure of the Lord of Ancient Azure and many other entities," Saine replied.

"The Emperor Monarch System is not the result of a single experiment."

"The Source-Devouring Progenitor made at least dozens of adjustments to maintain a balance between the power of diversion and independent will."

Saine did not deliberately avoid these cold conclusions just because Helan was right next to him.

For a Level-11 Peak expert, accepting the truth is more meaningful than listening to comforting words.

The Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor, sealed in another Experimental Zone, also began to struggle violently at this time.

The Source-Devouring Beast Core within the Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor clearly sensed the changes in the early diversion structure of the Lord of Ancient Azure.

A faint, bright yellow vein attempts to cross the seal and reconnect to the Mother Time-Space.

The Civilization Noise Suppressor was then activated.

The Ash Fire burned inward along that vein, forcing the Pasture-Realm Ancient Emperor to fall silent once more.

By comparing the living samples with the ancient remains, Saine will have a more complete understanding of the information.

However, Luluman did not leave immediately.

She glanced at the still-operating experimental apparatus around her, then said, "He gave you his Rules Body so that those civilizations could survive."

"I know," Saine replied.

"I will not destroy anything related to the Civilization Inheritance."

"Helan can stay here for the entire time."

Luluman nodded.

Even though Saine had grown to a level far surpassing hers, at least this disciple was still willing to listen to her finish speaking.

The experiment continued.

Centuries later, the last batch of original memories preserved in the Ancient Azure Stone Stele were finally fully awakened.

A vast expanse of dark brown light converged above the laboratory, forming an ancient Star Map that spanned multiple Dimensional Plane.

Primal Source Pasture is just one of the more prominent ones.

In addition, there are dozens of early Source-Devouring Pasture, as well as hidden coordinates left by members of the Remnant Realm.

Just as Saine was about to have Skynet check each one, a coordinate that was still flashing suddenly went out.

The signs of life there disappeared completely in a very short time.
