Familiar with the formula and the taste, he was unsure of what he would truly comprehend.
Minutes passed, and a melodious voice echoed once more.
【Congratulations, you have acquired the Ancient ability: Star Gate Construction.】
Lu Ziye was taken aback; it turned out that the so-called ability was the power to construct a Star Gate. However, he quickly sensed something amiss as he glanced at the Red Zone and the Star Gate Metal Wreckage. A completely different realization dawned on him.
He could distinctly feel that there had once been a path for Star Gate Construction here, linking the Black Zone and the Red Zone. He understood the construction principles and the connection points clearly. The Star Gate could transcend space, allowing for the creation of a portal between any two locations, and he was the first human to possess the ability to construct a Star Gate as a Mechanic.
Lu Ziye finally grasped why only Mechanical Beasts could pass through the Star Gate. During its construction, one could set specific pathways for it, akin to radio frequencies. Only a Mechanical Beast that constructed a Star Gate would understand this frequency; its body’s Energy Core would need to resonate with it in order to pass through.
Thus, Lu Ziye could now construct a human-exclusive Star Gate, permitting only humans to traverse it. The construction of a Star Gate required vast amounts of Soul Crystals, which explained why the Mechanical Beasts were frantically trying to cultivate Human Mechs. They aimed to utilize human resources to generate an immense mech army, subsequently providing a source of Soul Crystals.
The greater the distance for communication via a Star Gate, the more Soul Crystals were needed. Therefore, the ultimate goal of the Mechanical Beasts was to build an incredibly powerful Star Gate, possibly leading to some unknown destination. Lu Ziye speculated that this secret lay beneath the Black Zone.
“Xiao Lu, what’s going on?” Xiao Ming noticed something unusual about Lu Ziye’s mech and asked with concern.
Lu Ziye did not hide anything; what was there to conceal? Who was he protecting? Eagle Sauce or Sakura Zai? Did they still have combat capability?
So he spoke candidly: “Legion Commander Liu Tianwei, I have acquired the ability to construct a human-exclusive Star Gate.”
“What?”
“Wait, what?? A human-made Star Gate?”
“Oh my god, did I hear that right?”
The mechanics from Dragon Kingdom were all astonished. The emergence of this ability meant that humans could connect the Resource Star, Blue Zone, Purple Zone, and Red Zone, restoring their previous structure. If any area encountered issues, human mechanics could immediately cross through a Star Gate to provide support.
However, these thoughts were still too narrow in scope. The Eagle Sauce Nation Commander, still reeling from shock, couldn’t help but voice his doubts: “Perhaps this ability can unravel the ultimate goal of the Mechanical Beasts, even revealing their origins.”
Xiao Ming nodded in agreement: “Mechanical Beasts didn’t just appear out of nowhere. Their attack on Lan Xing aimed at capturing humans to enhance themselves. But after boosting their capabilities, what do they intend to do? We currently don’t know; perhaps you can solve this mystery.”
Meanwhile, in the distance beneath the Black Zone, Sakura Kingdom Commander wore a grave expression.
At that moment, space trembled violently as a brand new Star Gate appeared in the sky.
"Is there still reinforcements?" Xiao Ming felt very surprised. The war was over, and what was the point of opening a Star Gate at this moment to provide support?
The Star Gate was quickly constructed, and Lu Ziye also prepared for battle. From the Star Gate emerged a strange Mechanical Beast. Unlike the towering Mechanical Beasts that stood hundreds of meters tall, this figure was about two meters high and humanoid in shape. It looked quite old, yet its energy aura was exceptionally powerful. Lu Ziye sensed the opponent's level: Class A.
This was a formidable adversary he had never encountered before.
Just when everyone thought a great battle was about to begin, the strange Mechanical Old Man spoke. "You all step back; I want to have a word with him." The Mechanical Old Man, gleaming with metallic luster, pointed a finger at Lu Ziye.
"Do you think we would fall for that?" Xiao Ming would never allow Lu Ziye to be in danger.
The Mechanical Old Man smiled slightly and with a gentle flick of his finger, all the Mechanics were pulled into the Star Gate he had created, disappearing into an unknown location.
"Now it's quiet; just us humans. Don't worry, they are not gone; they are just temporarily trapped in a place I created. Once our conversation is over, they will return."
"Who are you?" Lu Ziye asked, highly alert.
This question seemed difficult to answer. The Mechanical Old Man pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "It's been thousands of years since anyone asked me my name. I am like a Mechanical Pioneer."
