I Don't Even Know Where the Void Ends. How Would I Know About That?

After that, the family's outing didn't encounter anything unusual.

However, thanks to the Gray-Haired Man's reminder, Bai Qiuran encountered some worlds along the way and stopped randomly to take a look inside.

Indeed, as the Gray-Haired Man said, some of these worlds clearly showed traces of civilizations that once existed. However, these civilizations left only fragments and traces, nothing more, as if they had truly been swallowed up by something terrible.

So, after the family trip, Bai Qiuran sent the two children to the Goddess Xi He and took the opportunity to visit the Central Immortal Palace to tell Le Zhentian about the incident.

"I have already taken care of the six people you sent. Grandmaster, there is no need to worry. Their system is indeed very unique."

Le Zhentian waved his hand and said, "However, the unknown things that gnaw on civilization in the lower reaches of the Void River... Grandmaster, do you think this could be the reason why the civilization in the Consciousness Domain established Consciousness Barrier back then?"

"I don't even know where the end of the Void is, how would I know such a thing?"

Bai Qiuran and said, "We can't draw conclusions about this kind of thing until we encounter it ourselves. But in any case, this kind of thing is extremely dangerous and seems rather hostile to civilization, so we must be prepared."

"I know."

Le Zhentian was about to say something, a gem on his throne suddenly began to vibrate and emit light.

"What's the matter with the Machine God?"

With Bai Qiuran by his side, Le Zhentian made no attempt to hide anything and immediately connected with the New Machine God.

"Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor."

The voice of the Machine God came from the other side; it was a cold, hard mechanical voice. It was probably controlling a Machine Puppet to communicate with Le Zhentian.

"While I was organizing the data from Previous Generation, I found two very interesting specimens. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"Specimen?"

Le Zhentian initially wanted to say what was so special about the specimens; over the years, he had seen countless specimens of wondrous creatures. However, the Machine God's call must have a reason; those two specimens must have something special about them. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are they important specimens?"

"It could be very important."

The New Machine God replied, "Because the Previous Generation set its data security level to be extremely high, it took me so long to successfully unlock that memory bank, see the data on these two specimens, and know where they are stored."

"Alright, I'll be there right away. Where is the specimen now?"

"Within No. 7 Research Station."

"That's what the Machine God replied."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After Le Zhentian finished speaking, he hung up the call and then looked at Bai Qiuran.

"Grandmaster, would you like to come along and take a look?"

Bai Qiuran. The two children had already been sent to the Goddess Xi He, and with Xi He's supervision, he didn't need to worry too much. The girls had already returned home, and he still had to pay his dues on time when he got back anyway. So, after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look. I'm quite interested in the Old Machine God's collection."

So the two of them rode together in the Immortal Emperor's carriage, leaving the Immortal Realm and arriving at No. 7 Research Station, where the Machine God had been relocated to the Immortal Realm.

Unlike the design style of the Immortal Realm, the facilities created by both the old and new Old Machine God are full of a strong mechanical and science fiction style. The research station of No. 7 is suspended in the Void, looking like a golden mechanical top. Around the top, there are several huge star rings made of metal and Runes that are constantly rotating.

Le Zhentian's private Void Airship slowly came to a stop on the disc atop the metal gyroscope. Then, greeted by several Machine Puppet, Le Zhentian and Bai Qiuran arrived at their destination.

In the monitoring room filled with screens, countless commands are being continuously input into various locations of the research facility under the influence of the Newborn Machine God's mind, managing the operation of this research site. And in the center of this monitoring room, a simple Machine Puppet stands there.

Upon seeing Bai Qiuran and Le Zhentian arrive, the mechanical Machine Puppet turned around.

"Welcome, Your Majesty. The Immortal Ancestor has also arrived. Perfect timing."

What kind of specimens are you going to show us?

Le Zhentian nodded at it, then got straight to the point and asked.

"This is it..."

The Machine God turned back, and in the instant it turned, the images on countless screens nearby were switched to a blank research room. In the center of the research room, there was a piece of "amber" with a faint yellow color, and in the center of this amber, a strange creature was solidified.

"This is a... bug?"

Upon seeing this creature, Bai Qiuran asked in surprise.

The Machine God zoomed in on the image, and through the lights of the research lab, Le Zhentian and Bai Qiuran could see more clearly the appearance of the creature sealed inside the amber.

It was a gigantic insect, but it did not belong to any of the insects the two of them knew. The insect had a huge body, huge claws and sharp fangs, its body was covered with a black carapace, and it also had a pair of powerful hind limbs.

Encased in amber, it maintained an aggressive posture with its claws raised, forelimbs extended and hind limbs standing upright, like a praying mantis attacking its prey. However, at that moment, it encountered an accident and was encased in the outer layer of material, forming something resembling amber, which was then preserved by the Machine God as a specimen.

"Based on the information I've compiled from the memory bank left by the Previous Generation, this thing was discovered within a Void Storm on the border between its territory and the _book_. At the time, the Energy Storm was very weak, and this thing was fortunate enough not to be destroyed by it. It named this worm the Void Bug and even extracted its biological genes for analysis. The basic substances that make up this worm are very mixed, but according to preliminary analysis, it is a creature capable of traversing the Void with its physical body."

"That's amazing?"

Bai Qiuran asked, "So, are these insects intelligent beings from some kind of civilization, or a group of predatory insects that have evolved powerful physical abilities?"

"None of those."

The Newborn Machine God replied, "Based on the analysis of the Previous Generation, this insect lacks brain tissue, has no organs capable of thought, and has no Souls, spirit, or Consciousness -like entity within it. However, it can act autonomously and has its own clear purpose. Therefore, based on the deduction of the Previous Generation, describing it as a [weapon] or [tool] might be more appropriate."

"What a coincidence. Not long ago, I heard from a new ally that many worlds downstream of the Void River had been completely devoured by some unknown thing. Today, you told me that these insects have appeared in the Machine God's reserves. I wonder if there's any connection between the two."

Bai Qiuran in amazement.

"I have an idea about this."

After pondering for a moment, the New Machine God asked, "According to our investigation, this insect sealed in amber seems to still retain signs of life. If we remove the outer layer of material, it might be able to regain its mobility... Your Majesty, Immortal Ancestor, should we give it a try?"
