Qing Ling then picked up Qing Xin's body and moved directly towards the outside of the space. Outside the space, in the midst of the battlefield, Qing Ling's figure turned into a black streak of light and flew directly towards Sky City.
Within Sky City, Chen Tian lay on the city's ground, slowly waking up. He then said, "I know why I am special now."
As Chen Tian accepted the mission, his memories also resurfaced. It turned out that Chen Tian had always been...!
"Brother, brother! Save my sister, save my sister!"
Qing Ling's voice rang out, interrupting Chen Tian's thoughts. Qing Ling appeared before Chen Tian, carrying Qing Xin's body. Chen Tian looked at Qing Ling before him and then at Qing Xin in her arms, and he asked, "Is your sister willing?"
"You need to know that I can save her, but it relies on the technological power of another world. If that happens, she will lose her freedom."
"I, I don't know, but I want my sister to live. Brother, please help Qing Ling!"
Seeing Qing Ling's plea, Chen Tian shook his head and then said, "So be it. If all else fails, we'll just have another one."
He slowly raised his hands, and lightning flashed across the sky above Sky City. The heavens were filled with divine light, which then blossomed. Countless rays of light slowly condensed into a throne, and then Chen Tian's hands moved rapidly downwards. The divine throne directly plunged towards Qing Xin's body, instantly entering it.
Condensing a divine position, creating a divine seat, creating the origin of a divine spirit. This was the method of God Lord Chen Tian. In the Divine Realm, a God Lord was an existence that transcended the Heavenly Dao, even capable of controlling it.
Then, Chen Tian gestured with his hands, and an electronic screen appeared. A contract appeared before Qing Ling, and Chen Tian said, "With a divine position, divine essence, and divine source, your sister can also appear in the real world and merge with humans who have similar origins. She will be digitized, just like them. However, the location is uncertain. It's uncertain where she will land, when you will meet, or where you will meet. But her memories will not disappear, so don't worry."
"Thank you, brother!"
Qing Ling nodded, then placed her index finger on the contract. Her entire figure then turned into starlight and floated towards the sky.
Chen Tian looked at Qing Ling, then gently touched her forehead. The two of them then looked towards the space. Shu Zi slowly appeared before Chen Tian and said, "God Lord, our strength is dwindling. I have a bad feeling something big is about to happen!"
"I know. The Evil Spirit Clan always has a backup plan. So, let's not make a move now. We'll wait for the right moment. If that doesn't work, we'll execute that plan!"
"But if we execute that plan, our awakening progress will be significantly delayed. We might not meet the contract requirements!"
"I know, but we can only trust our other selves in that world. Trust them to grow up quickly."
At this moment, Chen Tian was not the Chen Tian from this world. The Chen Tian controlling this body was another Chen Tian from another world, the God Lord Chen Tian.
Shu Zi nodded, and then the two of them slowly began to observe the battlefield of Hong Mo.
In Hong Mo's space, Hong Mo's opponent was a young Evil Spirit, but this youth's entire aura was different, just like an ordinary mortal.
Hong Mo said, "Why don't you understand by now? You are the one who is misguided."
Xie Po retorted, "Shut up! Facts prove that technology is a machine that incites war. Humans are becoming increasingly lazy because of technology. Once they get used to convenience, they won't stop. They are gluttonous and lazy, living their lives relying on technology. Furthermore, technology causes wars. I am not wrong."
Hong Mo replied, "Technology is meant to benefit humanity. It's true that humans are becoming lazier because of technology, but humans are still striving persistently, constantly advancing and evolving. Wars are also fought for self-preservation."
"Heh, then how do you explain that with convenience, humans won't even move a muscle? Because of technological development, everything is solved by technology. People who were originally diligent have instantly become lazy."
"When we designed technology, it was for the benefit of humanity, but what happened later? Humans became increasingly lazy, relying on technology. The more convenient things are, the more addictive they become, and the harder it is to escape laziness."
Hong Mo said weakly, "That's only a part of them."
"Shut up! Human nature is like this: lazy and selfish. It cannot be changed. But this is also why I joined the Evil Spirit Clan. Now, proud of technology, my entire body combined with the power of the Evil Spirit Clan has surpassed that of normal humans. I am even stronger than before. Everything I create, I will destroy and recreate."
"Alas! Is this why you abandoned the Mechanical God? Allowing the entire Mechanical Nation to become like that. That was a nation we created together! The beautiful sight has turned into this. Can you bear it?"
Hong Mo clutched his heart. If one listened carefully, the sound was not that of a human heart, but the beating of a mechanical heart.
Hong Mo spoke again, "To stop you, I am willing to merge with the machinery, just to tell you that technology is meant to benefit humanity, but you are still stubbornly going down the wrong path."
"It seems this battle is truly a fight for our respective beliefs."
Hong Mo looked at Xie Po before them, and then the two slowly spread mechanical wings from their backs. However, Xie Po's mechanical wings were entwined with patterns of evil spirit energy, while Hong Mo's were purely mechanical wings.
Both of them were cyborgs. Hong Mo was a cyborg who had forcibly integrated machinery into his body, while Xie Po was a mechanical life form human from birth, capable of controlling and mastering any machinery.
They were once the best of friends, researching technology together, benefiting humanity, and creating the Mechanical Nation. But after a certain incident, Xie Po, as the Mechanical God, developed a disgust for humanity and thus joined the Evil Spirit Clan.
A dignified deity had fallen. To stop his former friend and companion, Hong Mo had integrated the Mechanical God's research data into his own body. Hong Mo was originally just a scientist. After obtaining the Mechanical God's research data, Hong Mo learned how to integrate machinery into his body and thus began to prevent his former companion from falling.
They had different philosophies, which were mutually contradictory. Technology had indeed benefited humanity, but the advent of technology had also promoted human laziness. Human selfishness and other factors, influenced by technology, were magnified.
(Here's an example: If you get used to takeout, will you still cook yourself?)
Mechanical fragments slowly appeared on the arms of Hong Mo and Xie Po, and then these fragments began to reassemble. Mechanical swords slowly grew from Hong Mo's hands, while mechanical gun muzzles emerged from Xie Po's arms.
Watching from outside, Shu Zi said, "Both of their philosophies are actually correct, they are just too stubborn."
"Yes! If the two of them could understand each other, then their achievements and future paths would not be limited."
Shu Zi looked at Chen Tian with a playful expression and said, "Chen Tian, you chose Hong Mo back then. You placed the Mechanical God's divine position on him. As the God Lord, did you already know this would happen, which is why you sent the Mechanical God's data to Hong Mo?"
'Cough cough!'
Chen Tian did not speak. After all, he had been quite playful back then. Being a God Lord was too boring, so he wanted to find some fun. Who knew that such an irreparable mistake would occur!
