Thought Poison

To master the Machine Puppet Divine Court, one must start by understanding the Machine God's mindset.

Therefore, Bai Qiuran could not simply destroy the Machine God without careful consideration. He needed to devise a foolproof plan to ensure that someone could take over the Machine God's position after its death and remain under the control of the Immortal Realm.

With the Machine God having grown to its current state, the "Chain" spell of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua's Thought Imprint is no longer very effective against it. It can be said that the Machine God is now an enhanced version of the Heavenly Dao Will.

Bai Qiuran his own, and he didn't dare let his beloved daughter, Bai Xuxiang, use her abilities to link his thoughts with the Machine God's.

Leaving aside the matter of imprinting the Thought Imprint, Bai Qiuran's main fear was that his daughter would be harmed. If something were to happen to Bai Xuxiang, not only would Jiang Lan and the others find it difficult to forgive himself, but Bai Qiuran himself would also find it hard to forgive himself.

The reason he dared to let Bai Xuxiang link his thoughts with the Heavenly Dao Will was twofold: firstly, because that place was Immortal Realm Fortress, and if the Heavenly Dao wanted to do something, Le Zhentian and a group of Immortal Emperor would be inside; secondly, because he had bullied the Heavenly Dao many times, he Consciousness thought that the Heavenly Dao Will was nothing special and very easy to bully.

But now, Bai Qiuran decided to rely on herself to think for herself.

He needs an Arts that can truly destroy the Machine God, and then he also needs an Arts that can quickly Creation and catalyze the growth of new thoughts.

The Creation Arts was left behind by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua, Bai Qiuran already learned it. The catalysis technique was not difficult either. With a slight modification, the Immortal Emperor Shuhua's technique for strengthening thought could catalyze the rapid formation of thought. Bai Qiuran had a clue.

However, Bai Qiuran had no clue how to destroy a mind. Before this, he had directly destroyed only a handful of minds, and those minds were all newly formed and very weak. He easily annihilated them by using Thought Possession to rush in.

However, facing such a colossal behemoth as the Machine God, Bai Qiuran Bai Qiuran somewhat apprehensive about using her limited knowledge to confront it head-on. In that case, it was uncertain who would ultimately prevail.

Therefore, what he needs is a conceptual attack spell that can be cast with the physical body, directly bypassing the physical body Souls to attack the mind, and must also ensure that it can accurately strike a target.

"Thoughts, thoughts, the Machine God's thoughts are like a net, interwoven in this Void. No matter how much damage a single attack inflicts, it cannot be fatal. Only an attack that can trigger a chain reaction can do so."

In the quiet room, Bai Qiuran sat cross-legged on the bed, deep in thought.

"Chain reaction, Machine God... Net, Behemoths, Poison... etc., Poison?"

Whether it was fate or not, a sudden Spirit Light flashed through Bai Qiuran's mind, and he suddenly remembered Jiang Lan's petite figure. He remembered that when he traveled to the Divine Age and lived with Jiang Lan would occasionally use poison to hunt in order to find food.

In that era, the land was teeming with colossal Behemoths whose bodies were measured in mileage. Hunting was incredibly difficult for Human Race. Bai Qiuran had once secretly followed and witnessed Bai Li and his companions hunting a giant beast. It required an entire tribe's Hunting Team to attack a single Behemoths. Human Race' toothpick-like spears were utterly ineffective at inflicting fatal damage on the Behemoths. Therefore, they could only inflict as many wounds as possible and then chase after the Behemoths, forcing them to bleed to death.

Back then, a Human Race hunt would typically last for more than ten hours or even a whole day, and casualties were common during the chase.

However, after Jiang Lan passed on some simple poison-making techniques to Human Race, hunting became much easier for them. The poisons taught by Jiang Lan could spread along the blood of Behemoths within minutes, causing all the blood in their bodies to coagulate into blood clots, and would decompose on their own within half an hour after the target died, turning the Behemoths into edible creatures.

Human Race only need to apply a little ointment to the arrowheads of their weapons to hunt those Behemoths very quickly.

Thinking of the poisons Jiang Lan had created, Bai Qiuran that they were remarkably similar to the offensive spells she needed.

To Bai Qiuran, the Machine God's current mind is like a giant hand, connecting the vast Consciousness across countless worlds of the Machine Puppet Divine Court —it's the Machine God's "blood vessels," and the thoughts flowing within that Consciousness are its "blood." If we consider the reverse—creating a potent "poison" specifically designed to attack thoughts—then...

Bai Qiuran's eyes flickered, and she gradually began to have a clue.

Four and a half months later, Bai Qiuran officially emerged from seclusion.

He was smug and gathered the Immortals together, and casually tested Tang Ruowei's cultivation level.

Because there is no Immortal Realm in this Void, this girl has not yet Ascension, but her cultivation level has already broken through to the Earth Immortal. It seems that she has learned a lot from this group of the Immortal Realm intelligence teams in the past few months.

"Hmm, not bad, looks like you've finally started studying hard."

Patting the girl's head, Bai Qiuran looked at the Immortals with a serious expression.

"Young men and women, I have a task for you to complete."

"Please speak, Immortal Ancestor."

The Immortals bowed and said...

"Next, I will personally escort you back to the front lines, help you break through the Machine Puppet's defenses, and allow you to return to the Immortal Realm."

Bai Qiuran took a letter out of her sleeve.

"Please deliver this letter to His Majesty Le Zhentian. He will know what has happened after reading it."

The leading Immortals took the envelope and carefully tucked it into his person.

"I won't be going back with you; I have things to do here."

Bai Qiuran continued, "Let's go, there's no time to lose. Let me inform the Chief here, and then I'll send you away."

After bidding farewell to the Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan, expressing gratitude, and making some perfunctory promises, Bai Qiuran led the Immortals away from Eden and headed towards the vicinity of the Rift in the Consciousness Barrier.

The area was heavily fortified by the Battle Corps of the Machine Puppet Divine Court, but Bai Qiuran didn't say much. He came to the defensive line, drew his sword and slashed. His Sword Qi, which could split gold and jade, tore open a Great Dao gap in the Machine Puppet Divine Court's defensive line.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the intelligence team from the Immortal Realm escaped in the Spaceship sent from Eden. Bai Qiuran followed for a distance, dealing with the Machine Puppet pursuers along the way. Only after watching the Immortal Realm Spaceship successfully break free of the blockade did he return with Tang Ruowei.

"Master."

Hiding in the shadows of another world, Tang Ruowei withdrew her Consciousness Demon Clone and asked, "Where do we go next?"

"No rush. Zhentian needs some time to cooperate with my plan."

Bai Qiuran and said, "I got a good location from the Chief Eden. Let's go take a look around there first."
