Heading to the Mechanical Race Territory (Please Follow)

A pale-blue crystal fell into the depths of the main hall just like that.

In the dim secret chamber, there was only this crystal engraved with special characters. Reaching this place through the winding passage had required tremendous effort.

Outside the secret chamber stood a massive G-class Metal door.

This was not the original metal of Thunder God Hall. It had been added by that strange race from long ago, the Lorlori Race, with layers of Secret Runes reinforcing the outside of the door.

Zhou Lin was certain that this crystal contained an unknown secret.

It might even be related to the existence of the Main Hall.

The treasures connected to the Thunder God Hall Main Palace would definitely drive the Venerables mad with pursuit. If word got out, all the Venerables in the Primordial Universe would swarm toward this Cosmic Secret Realm.

Zhou Lin suppressed his excitement and began moving deeper into Thunder God Hall. He traveled through the Void Realm, so no one could detect him.

Was that an illusion?

The Limit of Immortal King Purple Zinc King rubbed his nose. He had just felt as if someone had passed by him, but for someone to escape his notice was incredibly difficult.

To accomplish this, one would at least have to be a Universe Venerable.

Purple Zinc King gave it no further thought and continued searching near the passage.

Teleportation was completely impossible here. An inexplicable restriction exerted pressure on the area, and there were too many Thunderfalls. Even in the Void Realm, Zhou Lin could only move slowly.

Half an hour later...

The Void Realm really is quite useful for treasure hunting. Zhou Lin easily passed through the door. No matter how sturdy the metal was, it could not obstruct the Void Realm.

As soon as he entered the secret chamber, Zhou Lin condensed a Void Realm clone to touch the crystal. Unexpectedly, he picked it up with ease.

There were no traps.

Unfamiliar writing. After confirming that it was safe, Zhou Lin's True Body took the crystal and rubbed it with his hand. The material was not unfamiliar. It had been made from Purple-Blue Thunder Glass.

To engrave characters on this kind of material, one needed at least the strength of a King Immortal.

The universe was vast. Even the Virtual Universe Company's database could not claim to contain every written language, much less the language of this long-extinct race.

Zhou Lin poured divine power into it and even dripped blood onto it. In short, he tried every method he could think of.

But the crystal continued glowing with purple-blue light, without the slightest other reaction.

For a moment, he found himself at an impasse.

Could this race be like the natives of Yanji Continent? Zhou Lin began wondering whether any surviving descendants of this race might still exist in the Thunder God Hall Secret Realm.

But even if there were, he had no way to find them.

This Cosmic Secret Realm was even more vast than the Milky Way. There were countless floating continental fragments, intact planets, and Thunderfall regions.

In the dim secret chamber, Zhou Lin paced back and forth restlessly, thinking about how he could uncover this race's written language.

Zhou Lin repeatedly studied the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence and carefully read through all the information concerning the original race of Thunder God Hall.

This race had been wiped out by the Mechanical Race. Its wealth that had not been transferred in time, along with a large number of its people, had all been seized. Therefore, the only race that might currently understand its written language was—

the Mechanical Race.

Then it looks like I'll have to target the Mechanical Race or one of their affiliated races. After making his decision, Zhou Lin left the branch hall while maintaining his incorporeal state.

The other wealth in the branch hall was unimportant. What mattered was the secret contained in this piece of Purple-Blue Thunder Glass.

Perhaps because of the Purple-Blue Thunder Glass Token, this branch hall did not store any other high-value items. In the end, the Kings who explored it could only come away empty-handed.

The most valuable token had been intercepted by Zhou Lin.

There aren't any Mechanical Race members within the Thunder God Hall Secret Realm. The information Zhou Lin had obtained was quite detailed and comprehensive in every aspect.

It clearly stated that the Mechanical Race rarely came here.

Moreover, Zhou Lin had no way to target Mechanical Race members. They were extremely difficult to enslave, and their communication methods were formidable enough to give them ample time to send a warning.

Therefore, his target could only be an affiliated race of the Mechanical Race.

After consulting the records for a long while, Zhou Lin was relieved to find that humanity still kept relatively detailed records of exterminated races.

Which Universe Venerables had taken action and which affiliated races they belonged to were all recorded clearly.

The Wuhong Tribe, the Boer Ya Tribe, and the Emmonka Hunstan Tribe.

After a moment of thought, Zhou Lin decided to target members of the Wuhong Tribe. They had once participated in the war against the Lorlori Race.

Races with Universe Masters were relatively safe. The races that had been exterminated were almost all Venerable races, so their affiliated races had participated extensively.

The dirty work and the exhausting work were all done by them, while the Peak Races took the majority of the spoils.

If humanity wanted to exterminate some weak race, the ones likely to participate in the battle would all be affiliated races such as the Tiwala Tribe and the Golden Horn Tribe.

Although the Wuhong Tribe was an affiliated race of the Mechanical Race, it also occupied a massive star sector. Its internal territory was no less vast than humanity's Universe Countries.

Zhou Lin first used Teleportation to leave Thunder God Hall, then used Divine Kingdom Teleportation to return to Human Territory and contacted an Immortal responsible for assisting with Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

The Immortal then used Divine Kingdom Teleportation to take Zhou Lin to an uninhabited region nearest to the Mechanical Race Territory.

This journey alone cost a full twenty Hun Yuan units.

After reaching the vicinity of the Mechanical Race Territory, Zhou Lin frantically used Teleportation to hurry onward. He did not travel by spaceship or fly.

He completely merged with the Void Realm, making it utterly impossible for ordinary detection instruments to discover him.

The level of Zhou Lin's Teleportation was comparable to that of a Venerable.

When a Universe Venerable who had mastered the complete Law of Space teleported, it would not cause intense spatial fluctuations. Instead, they would merge perfectly with space.

When Immortals teleported, the fluctuations they produced could easily be detected.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The place where the Virtual Universe Company's Immortal had brought him was a full thirty thousand light-years from the Mechanical Race Territory, so reaching it had taken quite some time.

So this is the Mechanical Race Territory? After his final Teleportation, Zhou Lin finally arrived at Star Sector No. 320 within the Mechanical Race's territory.

The Mechanical Race's territory was named by star sectors, each one comparable in scope to one of humanity's Universe Countries. They also had a Virtual World in every star sector.

However, these Virtual Worlds were independent. After leaving one, they had to connect to another world from scratch, making them far less convenient than humanity's system.

The scene before Zhou Lin was completely different from Human Territory. Although the Mechanical Race was inferior to humanity in terms of the Virtual Universe,

its technological power was stronger. Every planet before him had undergone special modifications, with its exterior completely covered in various strange metals.

After several more Teleportations, Zhou Lin finally arrived deep within this star sector.

The Wuhong Tribe is in Star Sector No. 277. Zhou Lin calculated how he should make his way there. He had come to this place to obtain information.

If the Mechanical Race discovered that he was searching for information about the Lorlori Race's written language, someone might connect it to the Thunder God Hall Main Palace.

The treasures in each branch hall had previously been worth as much as the entire fortunes of several Kings. If the Main Hall emerged, even the Venerables would surely be tempted.

Therefore, he had been frantically using Teleportation the entire way and had not used a spaceship at all. He simply did not want to leave behind any possibility of exposure.
