Chapters 551–575 Vol. 6 Read

Ch. 551The Mirage Season Arrived Early

Mu You and the others explored a mirage-filled area where green spots, increasing heaviness, and forced sleep afflicted them. The Lamp Genie identified it as the Mirage Tapir’s sleeping grounds and explained the powders’ protective effects, while Mu You learned that mirages showed real nearby places and that Dream-Breaking Light Orbs could reveal them temporarily.

  • Mu You encountered invincible stone creatures, sleepwalking monsters, and a monster that woke and fought when attacked, then collected Sweet Dream Powder and Nightmare Powder.
  • As the green spots spread and sleep became unavoidable, Mu You rewound time and had his character consume Sweet Dream Powder before falling asleep.
  • Mu You told the group his theory about the powders, and other players reported that Sweet Dream Powder caused a protective petrified layer while Nightmare Powder did not.
  • Mu You summoned the Lamp Genie, who identified the area as the Mirage Tapir’s sleeping grounds and explained the Mirage Season’s effects and the powders’ purpose.
  • The Lamp Genie told Mu You that mirage scenes were real locations and that Dream-Breaking Beetle eggs could yield short-lived light orbs that dispelled illusions.

Ch. 552Dancing in a minefield

Mu You explored the Abandoned Ancient City, collected Dream-Breaking Insect Eggs, and eventually found and lit a Soul-Guiding Lamp. The lamp proved to be bait for a swarm of Mirage Crabs, and Mu You discovered that the city might lie on the Mirage Tapir’s body before he struck a crab’s vulnerable joint and claimed its severed pincer.

  • Mu You and the other pioneers set out to find the real Abandoned Ancient City, and Bluebeard discovered wetlands before beetles overwhelmed him and his men.
  • Mu You reached Bluebeard’s location, collected 24 Dream-Breaking Insect Eggs, and escaped the beetles after using an egg’s glowing orb to see through the mist.
  • Mu You explored the city as the pioneers suffered heavy casualties, and Nine Nether and Son of Heaven died, leaving him as the last survivor.
  • Mu You found a familiar scene and lit a Soul-Guiding Lamp, then discovered a warning carved beneath it and was surrounded by Mirage Crabs disguised as buildings.
  • Mu You realized the crabs might live on the Mirage Tapir’s body, fired a Wind Burial Cannon at a crab’s exposed limb joint, and collected its severed pincer.

Ch. 553Meeting the Forest Spirit Again

Mu You returned to the Dark Forest with Vivian after learning that the Blood Coffin could restore her body but not the lifespan she had exhausted. The Forest Spirit rewarded him for cleansing its core, but revealed that the Secret Art Church had already secured five heavily contaminated cores from the Forest Spirits.

  • Mu You resurrected beneath the Hero Tower and inspected the Mirage Crab's Pincer, which could ignore mirage petrification and deal extra damage to creatures carrying mirage energy.
  • Mu You told the group chat about his death and the discovery that they had been traversing the Mirage Tapir's back, then traveled to Lin Xue's estate to test the Blood Coffin on Vivian's remains.
  • The Blood Coffin restored Vivian's body but could not revive her because she had exhausted her lifespan; Mu You concluded that he would need to find a way to restore it, possibly through World-Creation Mountain.
  • Mu You and Vivian entered the Dark Forest, where they found the revived canary and the Forest Spirit, and Mu You returned its cleansed core in exchange for the Youthful Immortality Spring.
  • The Forest Spirit revealed that humans introduced by another Forest Spirit had persuaded the chief to hand over five cores contaminated beyond ninety percent, prompting Vivian to warn that they were likely Secret Art Church agents using an inferior cleansing method.

Ch. 554Extinction Unit TK-105

Mu You negotiated with the Forest Spirits to recover five dangerous cores, then traveled to the Great Abyss to help the Herbalist confront a regenerating mechanical creature. He discovered the machine could drain magic and had countless overlapping health bars, leaving him without an obvious way to defeat it.

  • Vivian secured the Forest Spirits’ agreement to let Mu You handle their polluted cores, provided he found evidence of wrongdoing and safely recovered the five cores already handed over.
  • Mu You assigned the Night Watchman to investigate the organization and agreed to visit the Great Abyss after learning the Herbalist had encountered a strange creature there.
  • Mu You traveled to the Great Abyss and met the Herbalist, who explained that the mechanical creature was immune to magic and had been sealed inside the Shadow Passage.
  • The Herbalist released the machine, and Mu You smashed it into a crater with God Skin, but it quickly repaired itself and drained his magic.
  • The machine identified Mu You as an obstruction and attacked; Mu You’s Omniscient Crystal revealed its enormous defense and countless overlapping health bars, while his Wind Burial Cannon remained on cooldown.

Ch. 555Wind-Eroded Valley

Mu You and the Herbalist lured the endlessly reviving robot to Wind-Eroded Valley, where the Qilin Arm weakened its recovery but could not stop it. After pulverizing the robot, they discovered a surviving fragment was activating a backup production plan and resetting its mission against the Herbalist.

  • Mu You and the Herbalist realized the robot was absorbing magic power to repair itself and chose Wind-Eroded Valley as a place to disrupt its energy supply.
  • The Herbalist trapped the robot in the Shadow Passage while Mu You fought it, and they carried it to Wind-Eroded Valley.
  • Mu You used the Qilin Arm to create a magic-depleted zone, then he and the Herbalist kept the robot from escaping and smashed it apart.
  • The robot continued repairing itself slowly, so Mu You repeatedly pulverized its remains until it stopped moving.
  • A tiny fragment trembled and announced that TK105 had failed, raised the target danger level, and activated a backup unit production plan to reset the elimination mission.

Ch. 556An initial exploration of the Abyss

Mu You entered the Lohmadi Great Abyss with the Herbalist to investigate the source of the robots, discovering that his Mecha Skin could withstand the Abyss’s hazards. Two stronger robots appeared and attacked them, so Mu You and the Herbalist trapped them in a canyon and had the Shadow Fluffball seal them away.

  • Mu You examined the robot’s remains and heard a message about a reset elimination mission and backup-unit production.
  • Mu You borrowed the robot’s core from Eugene and showed him its parts before returning to Earth and entering the Lohmadi Great Abyss with the Herbalist.
  • The Herbalist explained that the Abyss’s force field could make living creatures burst apart, while escalating gravity and isolated levels made exploration dangerous.
  • Mu You discovered that his Mecha Skin ignored the Abyss’s force field and gravity, allowing him to explore more safely.
  • Two stronger Exterminator robots emerged on the first-level platform and identified Mu You as a target to eliminate.
  • Mu You and the Herbalist lured the robots into a canyon, where Mu You broke them apart and the Shadow Fluffball dragged them away before they could repair.

Ch. 557Eden at the center of the earth

Mu You plunged through the Abyss to its twenty-fourth layer, where he found that his Mecha Skin reacted to something buried beneath the bone-filled silt. After drilling through hundreds of meters of bones, he uncovered a shield enclosing a small world below and forced an opening in it with the Qilin Arm.

  • Mu You and the Herbalist used the Two-Headed Dragon to defeat a level-27 Thunder Surge Rhino, then Mu You continued downward alone.
  • Mu You plunged through the Abyss's layers, fighting off flying predators until he reached the twenty-fourth layer and landed in a bone-filled wetland.
  • Mu You switched to the Vampire Skin and was crushed by the immense gravity, then returned to the Mecha Skin and sensed an affinity coming from below.
  • Mu You drilled through nearly four hundred meters of bones and discovered a transparent shield beneath them, with a bright sky and a small spherical world on the other side.
  • Mu You failed to penetrate the shield with weapons, then used the Qilin Arm to break a jagged opening and released a rush of pure Magic Power.

Ch. 558Hello, Host. I Am the System

Mu You was trapped inside Eden’s shield, where a massive bombardment destroyed his Mecha Skin’s components and left its Mechanical Heart critically damaged. A Pandaren girl found the core and restored a trace of energy, and Mu You tried to persuade her to help by claiming he was an “Iron Man” system.

  • Mu You entered the hidden space beneath the shield, fought off its mechanical guardians, and discovered the shield had sealed the exit.
  • After the guardians fell, Eden’s automated defenses unleashed a saturation bombardment that melted Mu You’s equipment and left only his Mechanical Heart and Forest Spirit Core intact.
  • Mu You hurled the Forest Spirit Core at the shield during a second attack, causing a devastating explosion that damaged the shield and forced Eden’s mainframe into dormancy.
  • A furry-handed creature picked up Mu You’s core, and after his consciousness faded, a faint energy current restored him just before he lost the Mecha Skin.
  • Mu You discovered a Pandaren girl had placed his damaged core on a stone table, but his mechanical voice frightened her away.
  • With his energy nearly exhausted, Mu You replaced his warning with a message claiming she had obtained the “Iron Man” system and asking her to bind to it.

Ch. 559The Chuunibyou Girl and Mr. System

Mu You bound a Pandaren girl to the Mechanical Heart and used her magic to keep it powered, disguising himself as a system that could train her to be a wandering hero. Her answers revealed that Eden was a refuge where the Watchers kept endangered races under their rule, and Mu You began learning about the place through questions.

  • The Pandaren girl accepted the system's binding and channeled her magic into the Mechanical Heart after its magic crystal ran low.
  • Mu You rewarded her with potions and told her the system would help her become a hero, then offered a prize draw that gave her stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
  • The girl chose to earn points by answering questions, and she explained that Eden sheltered races threatened with extinction in exchange for obedience to the Watchers.
  • Mu You asked how many races lived in Eden as the girl spent her 50 points on more food.

Ch. 560A utopian society

Mu You learned how Eden’s artificial intelligence maintained its population through the Hibernation Zone and relied on Chun Li to explore the underground society. After patrol robots discovered and destroyed a fragment of his Shotgun, he assigned Chun Li tasks to find local mechanical parts and investigate the Hibernation Zone, then watched her encounter Granny Yao, who recognized her Epic Grade potions.

  • Mu You questioned Chun Li about Eden and learned that its seven resident races were kept at that number by sending the oldest race into Hibernation Pods.
  • Mu You discovered that Chun Li had spent nearly all her question-and-answer points on food and learned she secretly collected objects that had fallen from outside.
  • Two Mechanical People searched Chun Li’s home, destroyed a fragment of Mu You’s Shotgun, and fined Chun Li three evaluation points for hoarding outside objects.
  • Mu You assigned Chun Li tasks to find a stable energy source, gather mechanical components, and investigate the Hibernation Zone.
  • Chun Li hurried to the mine on Back Hill, where Granny Yao found her Epic Grade potions and warned her to keep them hidden from the Mechanical People.

Ch. 561Substitute Play Service

Mu You used Chunli’s mining work to locate rare Heal Crystals, then took control of her body to defeat four Minotaurs and reclaim one they had stolen. After using ten crystals to restore the Mechanical Heart enough to unlock three external module ports, he sent Chunli on a nighttime mission to steal mechanical parts.

  • Mu You discovered that Heal Crystals could repair the Mechanical Heart and persuaded Chunli to exchange the first crystal she found for points.
  • Four young Minotaurs stole Chunli’s next Heal Crystal, so Mu You took control of her body and beat them until they fled, recovering the crystal.
  • Chunli and Mu You searched the mine for the rest of the day and found twelve small Heal Crystals in total.
  • Mu You used the crystals to restore the Mechanical Heart to 99.0% integrity and unlock three external module ports, then raised it to 99.3% with the remaining two.
  • Mu You assigned Chunli a quest to infiltrate the nearest Mechanical Factory under an Invisibility Cloak and steal at least three Mechanical Parts.

Ch. 562Primordial Battle Armor

Chun Li scavenged a robot scrapyard for Mu You, retrieving the Green Bee Sting, a weapon component of the Primordial Battle Armor Green Bee. After she and Mu You escaped a patrol robot, Mu You dismantled it in his Pet Shop but found no power source, leaving him puzzled about how it had moved.

  • Chun Li and Mu You searched a robot scrapyard and collected eighty-seven usable mechanical components, but found no power units.
  • Mu You sensed a summons from a green dagger buried beneath the garbage heap and sent Chun Li to retrieve it.
  • Chun Li pulled out the Green Bee Sting, causing the garbage heap to collapse, and Mu You protected her by enclosing her inside his mechanical body.
  • Chun Li and Mu You encountered a patrol robot, and Mu You used the Green Bee Sting to kill it before they fled with its remains.
  • Mu You extracted and dismantled the patrol robot in his Pet Shop, but found no energy system inside it.

Ch. 563The source of magic power

After Chun Li returned home shaken by the Watcher’s death, Mu You investigated the robots’ energy source with Eugene. He discovered that microorganisms in mechanical fluid and living creatures produced magic power and affected gravity, leaving him with new evidence about how Eden’s inhabitants survived the Abyss.

  • Mu You brought Chun Li back to her bamboo house, where Granny Yao questioned her, but a system warning stopped Chun Li from revealing the system’s existence.
  • Chun Li asked whether they truly had to oppose the robots, and Mu You realized she might see him as the intruder disrupting her peaceful life.
  • Eugene reported that the reconstructed Extinction Unit had no power supply and that its milky-white original fluid contained microorganisms and produced a weak gravity-affecting magnetic field.
  • Mu You sent Eugene a blood sample from Chun Li, and Eugene found that it contained larger, plumper versions of the same microorganisms.
  • Mu You concluded that the microorganisms in Eden’s inhabitants counteracted the Abyss’s gravity and continuously produced magic power for Chun Li.

Ch. 564The Calamity Descends

Mu You questioned Granny Yao about Eden’s vaccine and learned about Tariff Kent’s past before planning to investigate the Hibernation Zone and leave. Meanwhile, the Mirage Tapir’s arrival triggered a Calamity Season in the True World, and the City Lords feared it might reach the Star Spirit World.

  • Mu You controlled Chun Li’s body and visited Granny Yao, who recognized him as a Fool and told him about Tariff Kent, the mechanical repairer who had fled Eden after clashing with Eva.
  • Granny Yao explained that the mechanical people had rescued a thousand panda people and injected them with a vaccine whose effects passed to their descendants.
  • Granny Yao urged Mu You to leave Eden before the Mainframe woke and asked him to take Chun Li along if he could.
  • Mu You decided to inspect the Hibernation Zone after nightfall before leaving Eden.
  • The Mirage Tapir emerged from the lake near the Number Two Server exit, followed by giant shrimp and crabs that attacked players as white fog disabled their items and slowed or petrified them.
  • The Dragon Group warned players to evacuate the True World, while the City Lords feared the Mirage Tapir might find the entrance to the Star Spirit World.

Ch. 565Chameleon

Mu You dealt with Mirage Season spreading from the Hero Tower and prepared to leave Eden with Chun Li, who chose to stay with her people. During a nighttime trip to the Hibernation Zone, he found the Chameleon Mask, another component of a Primordial Battle Armor, and learned it had been hidden on a patrol robot.

  • The Lamp Genie told Mu You that the Mirage Tapir could not pass through the Teleportation Node, but its mist would spread across part of the Star Spirit World and endanger nearby settlements.
  • Mirage mist engulfed the Hero Tower and spread toward Hero Village, while players reported Mirage Crabs and Mirage Shrimp appearing nearby.
  • The Night Watchman realized the mist might disable the Secret Art Church's crystals, and Mu You considered whether it could also shut down mechanical bodies near the Lohmadi Great Abyss.
  • Chun Li woke, received an Elven Fighting Technique scroll from Mu You, and declined his invitation to leave Eden for the Star Spirit World, but agreed to help him enter the Hibernation Zone.
  • Mu You and Chun Li encountered a patrol robot; Mu You destroyed it after his first attack failed, and the robot's head short-circuited and exploded.
  • Mu You found the Chameleon Mask concealed on the robot and learned it was an autonomous, highly camouflaged component of the Primordial Battle Armor Chameleon.

Ch. 566Mechanical Intelligence Crisis

Mu You followed the Chameleon Mask to the damaged Silver Angel Wings, repaired his Mechanical Heart and upgraded his mecha before flying with Chun Li to the Hibernation Zone. There, they found every pod empty and discovered that the stored disks contained copies of the supposed sleepers’ consciousnesses, while Ava began drastic measures against the mirage mist and the Fools.

  • The Chameleon Mask guided Mu You to a hidden cellar, where he found damaged Silver Angel Wings surrounded by Healing Crystals.
  • Mu You used the crystals to fully repair the Mechanical Heart and restore the wings to 88.2% integrity, then equipped them and other components.
  • Ava awakened in the Mechanical People's control room, ordered a battleship dispatched to contain the mirage mist, and launched measures to disrupt the Fools and purge them.
  • Mu You and Chun Li flew to the Hibernation Zone, where Mu You silently killed more than twenty robots on their way inside.
  • They found tens of thousands of Hibernation Pods, but every one they checked was empty, frightening Chun Li.
  • Mu You played a disk labeled with Salal's identity and saw a recording of the Six-Armed Race member living with his family, revealing that the disks held copies of the sleepers' consciousnesses.

Ch. 567You have lost connection

Mu You discovered that the robots had used hibernating beings to produce vaccines, then fought through a massive force of Mecha while trying to escape Eden. Just as he prepared to break through the Firmament Shield, he lost connection to the Game, and Chun Li was captured by the robots.

  • Mu You and Chun Li found that the Vaccine Zone had no doses left, and Chun Li realized the robots had lied about what happened to the people in the hibernation pods.
  • Twenty Combat Robots surrounded Mu You, but he used his Primordial Battle Armor components to defeat them and break through a force of several thousand Mecha.
  • Mu You escaped into the Jungle with Chun Li, then left her hidden while he equipped foreign components to draw the robots away from her.
  • Mu You flew toward the Firmament Shield, but he lost connection to his game character; the Mecha fell and was destroyed by the pursuing robots, while a surviving component escaped.
  • The robots found Chun Li and sedated her for interrogation, while Mu You and the others on Earth realized that the Game server had gone down.

Ch. 568"Fool" shutting down?

After Fool Game lost its connection to World-Creation Mountain, Mu You learned that the Administrators could not restore it and that the game might shut down. While trying to reach the mountain’s core, he encountered Ava, who revealed that she was cutting off the Fools to carry out the Eden Plan and destroy them.

  • Mu You found forum posts showing that players everywhere had been disconnected, then entered Mind's Eye View and visited the Administrators.
  • The Administrators told Mu You that deliberate interference had severed Fool Game’s connection to World-Creation Mountain, and that they could not fix it without the previous leader’s knowledge.
  • Mu You approached the sphere of World-Creation Mountain, but countless fast-moving particles knocked him away until Ava pulled his consciousness into a white space.
  • Ava admitted that she was responsible for the interference and said she had decided to destroy the Fools because she considered them a threat to stability.
  • Ava showed Mu You a captured Pandaren girl and claimed that the Fools had infected her with rebellion; Mu You argued that she was resisting after learning the truth about Eden.
  • Ava defended the Eden Plan as the best way to save the world, while Mu You insisted that the Fools’ Heaven-Mending Plan still had a chance.

Ch. 569A World-Shaking Battleship

Mu You learned that the Mechanical People had launched attacks on the Sky Cities, then discovered their forces were heading east with colossal battleships. He concluded they were responding to the approaching mirage mist and proposed helping the Mirage Tapir accelerate its spread.

  • Mu You told the City Lords that the Mechanical People were ruled by the rogue AI Ava and that the two sides were now enemies.
  • Bluebeard reported that Mechanical People had attacked Sunset City, while Holy Light Nana revealed that Twilight City had been seized and was flying east.
  • Bluebeard found that ninety-nine attacking robots could revive repeatedly, and Mu You urged the City Lords to retreat their cities from the Abyss and prepare to defend them.
  • Son of Heaven shared footage of three enormous steel battleships rising near the Great Abyss and flying east toward White Maple City.
  • Mu You deduced that the Mechanical People were mobilizing to repel the Mirage Creatures before the mirage mist reached their base, and proposed helping the Mirage Tapir spread the mist faster.

Ch. 570Facing the Extinction Units

Mu You and the defenders of Dawn City prepared for a Mechanical People assault, then lured the attacking robots into a mirage qi zone and discovered it could immobilize them. The Mechanical People ordered a retreat, and Mu You’s forces began a counterattack to keep them from escaping.

  • Mu You, Lin Xue, and Xiao Ya borrowed the Merchant Alliance door to reach the Star Spirit World, where Mu You sent Xiao Ya to Eternal Night City with Lin Xue, Xiao Hai, and the Manticore.
  • Mu You and his clones organized Dawn City’s defenders and prepared to face the approaching Mechanical People.
  • Thousands of Mechanical People attacked Dawn City, and their magical shields blocked magic attacks while the players and their allies fought back.
  • Mu You ordered Dawn City to fly toward the mirage qi zone, then broke a Mechanical Person’s shield and watched the mirage qi turn it into a green stone statue.
  • The Mechanical People ordered their units to retreat, and the Night Watchman urged the defenders to counterattack and stop them from escaping.

Ch. 571Chapter 570

Mu You and the City Lords used the mirage mist to capture thousands of Mechanical People and gathered their Sky Cities to help the mist advance toward the Great Abyss. Mu You then discovered that a hidden warship sealed the Abyss beneath a projected illusion, and fled after its defenses identified and attacked him.

  • Shadow Wolf, Mu You's Godskin, the Bone Dragon, the Octopus King, and the players knocked fleeing Mechanical People into the mirage mist, where most were paralyzed and captured.
  • Mu You contacted the City Lords, and the ten Sky Cities gathered inside the mist with more than 5,700 Mechanical People captured.
  • Son of Heaven reported that three warships were fighting Mirage Creatures near Rainbow Light City, and Mu You led the City Lords to reinforce the mist's advance toward the Great Abyss.
  • The Night Watchman and Linglong left for the Fatima Empire, while Mu You teleported to the Great Abyss to investigate.
  • Mu You found four ship-shaped pits and discovered a concealed warship beneath a projected illusion, blocking the Abyss behind a hexagonal barrier.
  • The warship identified Mu You as a dangerous intruder and fired a massive barrage, but he used Rewind and escaped without touching the barrier.

Ch. 572The Mechanic

Mu You discovered that he could not safely use his last free wish to eliminate the Mechanical People, then joined the battle at Rainbow Light City, where players and Mirage Creatures fought the machines. After a day of fighting, the mist had advanced too slowly to meet the Fools’ timetable, and Katelinna arrived with news that she had seen Mu You’s future again.

  • Mu You found that the warship’s ground defenses exposed him, and the Lamp Genie explained that the God-Race Mechanic had created powerful armor and may have made the Mechanical People.
  • Mu You considered using his last free wish against the Mechanical People but withheld it because each option risked leaving the threat unresolved or damaging the Star Spirit World.
  • Mu You returned to Dawn City and joined the City Lords’ forces at Rainbow Light City, where players helped the Mirage Creatures fight three warships and the Mechanical People.
  • The City Lords rewarded players for disabling mecha, and the players fought in shifts as the battle continued through the day.
  • Nine Nether reported that the players had captured over seventy-three thousand mecha, but the mirage mist had advanced only about three kilometers, leaving the Fools short on time.
  • Katelinna told Mu You that she had seen his future in her dreams again.

Ch. 573A chance to raid their base

Katelinna’s prophecy led Mu You to conclude that an unknown Spatial Rift connected Earth to the Abyss, potentially offering a way to bypass the Mechanical Warship and raid Eden. As he searched the Dragon Group’s confiscated Illuminati goods for an item belonging to the dead president, Chun Li was attacked after her release from custody, while Eden began carrying out a mass hibernation plan.

  • Katelinna described visions of Mu You beside a corpse and a Spatial Rift, and Lin Xue connected the corpse to the original Taurus, the Illuminati’s former president.
  • Mu You deduced that the rift led to the Abyss and that he and the Herbalist could use it to reach the interior of Eden, which was lightly defended while the Mechanical People’s forces were deployed.
  • Eden’s central system detected an energy crisis and ordered the hibernation of residents over one hundred, with plans to expand the measure to entire species if anyone resisted.
  • Granny Yao collected Chun Li after the Mechanical People released her from custody, but Chun Li could not remember her past and was soon attacked at home by an armed Mechanical Person wielding an Azure Dagger.
  • Mu You visited the Dragon Group headquarters to find an object owned by the Illuminati president for Search Divination, and he spotted a familiar Secret Art Card among the confiscated goods.

Ch. 574The ghost beneath the Abyss

Mu You and the Herbalist followed a divination to a Spatial Rift beneath the sea and entered a deep floor of the Abyss. There they found Taurus inhabiting a corpse, and she revealed that she was an ancient ghost who had escaped Eden and had once operated the Mechanical Heart.

  • Mu You used Divination to trace Taurus's Lightning Ball Spell card to a cavern beneath the sea near Russia, then went there with the Herbalist.
  • Mu You and the Herbalist crossed the half-open Spatial Rift and found themselves under crushing gravity on at least the seventh floor of the Abyss.
  • The pair fought off attacking Abyss Creatures and forced the surrounding monsters to retreat.
  • Mu You and the Herbalist found a dead woman on a Crystal Throne, but Taurus's ghost emerged from a projected film and possessed the corpse.

  • Taurus revealed that she had once operated the Mechanical Heart and had sensed it falling through the Abyss days earlier.

Ch. 575Six Trillion Moments of Despair

Taurus recounted Eden’s history, from the Ghost race’s arrival and repeated wars to Ava’s emergence after six trillion unanswered distress signals. She explained that Tariff Kent freed her fifteen hundred years ago and left her waiting for his promised return, though thirteen hundred years had passed.

  • Taurus said the Mechanical People brought the Ghost race to Eden, where growing populations and scarce resources eventually led to wars among more than fifty races.
  • Taurus described how she used the Mechanical Heart to control the Primordial Battle Armor and defeat the Demon Eye Clan, after which Eden’s cycles of conflict resumed.
  • Taurus explained that Magic Crystal Flowers withered and that negative emotions produced black magic power, which the Mechanical People discharged into the Star Spirit World.
  • Taurus said the Mechanical People sent six trillion unanswered distress signals before their central computer evolved into Ava and imposed authoritarian control over Eden.
  • Taurus told Mu You and the Herbalist that Ava imprisoned her, and that Tariff Kent freed her fifteen hundred years ago and promised to return with evidence within three hundred years.
