The Machine God and the "Speaker"
Bai Qiuran her hand.
Considering that these Machine Puppet would be Wealth of the Immortal Realm after he killed the Machine God, Bai Qiuran did not use his full strength to annihilate the Giant God with one palm. Instead, he dispersed his Palm Force, temporarily shaking apart its limbs and torso.
The Giant God was incredibly tenacious. Even after being Bai Qiuran, with its arms and legs scattered on the ground and half of its body embedded in that world's Material Plane, it continued to struggle. Its limbs began to break apart into small Machine Puppet, seemingly trying to separate and then re-coalesce with its torso.
But Bai Qiuran didn't give it that chance. He took a few steps and arrived in front of the Giant God Automaton in the blink of an eye. His hands flew, and he used countless complex hand seals to apply restrictions, Formation, and Runes to the Giant God's torso and various limbs, sealing off its movements.
To prevent the Giant God from using its knowledge of Machine Puppet to reverse-engineer these Formation Runes, Bai Qiuran even temporarily created and illustrated some things when sealing it, fusing the Runes and Formation into a seemingly magical trap, which he then mixed into the seal of the Giant God Automaton.
Once the seal was complete and the seals were interconnected, they formed an Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram of intersecting lights in the Void. The Giant God Automaton was trapped within it in a star-shaped formation, like a small insect Restraint by a spider web, unable to move.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."
Bai Qiuran clapped his hands and grabbed Tang Ruowei, who was standing some distance away.
"I need to go help my comrades. You stay here and watch over it for me until I return."
Tang Ruowei glanced at the Giant God, then obediently nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Qiuran took out an object, a square device resembling a repeater. This was something given to him by the Rainbow Sheath Clan after he returned to Eden after sending off the Immortal Realm intelligence team and made a pleasant deal with their Collective Consciousness.
Of course, this was Bai Qiuran's own request. The others in Eden seemed to have great confidence in that old-model Emperor-level Machine Puppet. According to the Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan, for the past 30,000 years, Eden's technicians had been dedicated to modifying this Ultimate Weapon. They did not believe that the Emperor-level Machine Puppet they had modified would lose to the current Emperor-level Machine Puppet of the Machine Puppet Divine Court.
However, after listening to the story, Bai Qiuran still took the item. He did this mainly as a precaution. The Machine God was a force to be reckoned with, and Bai Qiuran was afraid that the Rainbow Sheath Clan's Collective Consciousness might use an Emperor-level Machine Puppet to hunt it down, only to be outmaneuvered by it like this.
This device can communicate across extremely distant Void, even connecting Eden beneath the Void River with the Material World above it. It was something that Eden was forced to create after retreating into the Void River.
Bai Qiuran took out the device and made contact with the Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan. After learning the coordinates of their current world, he summoned Clear Autumn Waters and rode his sword down the Void River.
The "Glory" Machine Puppet shut down its communication with Bai Qiuran and looked at the star system in front of it.
This is a Star System, not a large one. Apart from the green star at the center that acts as the gravitational pull, there are only three planets in orbit.
However, it is worth mentioning that one of the planets in the middle has actually developed an environment suitable for the reproduction of life, and some intelligent beings have already emerged on it.
The cloaked Machine Puppet was now quietly suspended above the planet's atmosphere, which was like a white veil, looking down at the land below, where many Intelligent Lifeforms were living and multiplying, and had already built up rudimentary civilizations.
They couldn't see the cloaked Machine Puppet high above, but the Machine Puppet could see them very easily.
Seeing this, the Rainbow Sheath Clan's Collective Consciousness manipulated "Glory" and quietly moved closer.
Sensing the approach of the enemy, the cloaked Machine Puppet turned around and silently gazed at "Glory," which was many times larger than itself.
"What goes around comes around, and I've finally caught you."
"Glory" bent down and gazed at the small figure floating above the planet.
"Machine God, is there anything you want to say now?"
"Catch me... A common problem with material life is that they tend to overestimate themselves."
A mechanical voice came from beneath the cloak.
"This is merely a part of my countless spare bodies, a tiny tentacle connected to my grand mind. Even if you destroy this body, it won't affect me at all... Besides, Eden's rebels, how can you be sure that my deliberate exposure to you wasn't to lure you here to be eliminated, so I could leave without any worries?"
It raised its cloak, a black cloak that blotted out the sky, stretching out like a canopy that covered almost half the planet's sky. On the ground, countless intelligent beings, seeing the sky turn from white to black, trembled like leaves in fear, all prostrating themselves on the ground, kneeling and worshipping the heavens.
Thanks to this, Glory also saw what the Machine Puppet looked like under the cloak.
It was a humanoid Machine Puppet about two meters tall, without any extra parts. It looked like a Machine Puppet that had come out without a proper shell and coating. It had obvious parts and pipes on its body, and its two eyes were just two round, red lenses.
This mechanical Machine Puppet rests its left hand on a metal staff with a round gemstone inlaid at the top, and holds a small, ancient Jade Casket in front of its chest with its right hand.
Despite its rudimentary construction, "Glory" became extremely cautious in its movements.
"Just as I predicted, the last guard you took with you was your [Speaker]."
The Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan solemnly declared, "No matter when or where, it will always be your strongest trump card."
"Then you should know that your crude, outdated Machine Puppet is no match for my [Speaker] in any way."
The voice of the Machine God came from the Jade Casket.
"Knowing this, you still chased after me. Sometimes, you material beings really are hard for me to understand."
"There's nothing hard to understand, it's just that I personally don't want to see you have it easy, and I want to beat you up."
The ten arms of the "Glory" Machine Puppet bloomed like lotus flowers, forming different hand seals.
"After our great kingdom was destroyed, I hid for 30,000 years, and now I have finally seized this opportunity with you... Machine God, you rarely find yourself in such a sorry state."
"... Then I'll take care of you before that person arrives."
The Machine God commanded, "[Speaker]."
Its thoughts unfolded and flowed into the Machine Puppet beside it. A dazzling red light shone in the Speaker Machine Puppet's eyes, and it raised its head, releasing a chilling killing intent on its emotionless face.
