Back then, the God-Slaying Heavenly Venerable had indeed encountered a Mechanical Lifeform!
But that Mechanical Lifeform had already been on the brink of death, gradually exhausting its energy!
Before it died, it had told the God-Slaying Heavenly Venerable the secrets of the Heavenly Secrets Holy Land!
In truth, calling the Heavenly Secrets Holy Land a sacred land was something of an exaggeration.
The crux of the matter was that, throughout the myriad heavens and worlds, very few had ever truly witnessed the Heavenly Secrets Holy Land's power-or rather, hardly anyone had ever come into contact with it at all!

But as the Mechanical Lifeforms slowly grew stronger, they refused to accept a fate of continued subjugation.
And so they began to fight back!
The first one they killed was the Mysterious Strong One who had created them, a fellow who was merely at the ninth heaven of the Primordial Chaos Realm!
Yet his death had not been silent. With his own hands, he had broken the origin crystal that supplied these Mechanical Lifeforms with energy into two pieces!

And that Mechanical Lifeform was Shenzhan 01!
