"Then I'll trouble you, Elder."

Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slightly, and then ordered many relevant personnel to enter the warship.

Soon, the aura of spatial laws spread out, and the entire warship began to leap across spatial scales.

No one below the Venerable level accompanied them, because in this situation, those below the Venerable level were merely a burden, not an asset.

The starship began to start, and a bright blue aura burst forth. A flame thousands of feet long suddenly rose up, accelerating to an incredible speed in an instant.

At the same time, a spatial rift appeared in front of them, forcing them to perform a spatial jump.

When the entire ship came to a stop, the surrounding area was an endless expanse of space, with few stars and even fewer stars in sight. Everything around was shrouded in darkness and mystery.

This type of region is often called the Dark Realm, which consists only of void and has no planets.

When they arrived, they discovered that in the distance, there was a floating star city built from mechanical ships.

Through the starship, Jiang Shu sensed that a large number of Zerg and Machine Races were already waiting above the floating star city.

"Oh, look at those things, some of them are pirate star cities."

Zhan Feng gazed at the floating star city and couldn't help but marvel: "I never thought I'd have the chance to go up and sit for a while."

"What is this rare item?"

Jiang Shu asked with a smile.

"Of course, there are desperados among all races, or people who are fleeing from being hunted down, who often turn to piracy."

"These pirates naturally cannot be exposed to the light, and they dare not appear on ordinary planets, let alone mining planets. They can only hide in this dark space to survive."

Zhan Feng sneered: "It seems there was a pirate crew here, which was easily wiped out by the machine race and the insect race."

"I see."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly, understanding the reason for this.

Just then, the cold, mechanical alloy bulkhead slowly opened, revealing a series of star-like patterns rippled outwards.

Jiang Shu, Zhan Jiuxiao, and a group of other Venerables stepped out of the starship and appeared on this star city.

Almost instantly, Jiang Shu felt hundreds of gazes, both open and hidden, suddenly turn to him, scrutinizing him as if trying to gauge his true strength.

Jiang Shu's lips curled slightly, exuding confidence and composure.

Even when he fought against three powerful late-stage Venerables, Jiang Shu did not unleash his full strength.

Moreover, having undergone the trial of the ninth level of the Eternal Tower, his strength has become even greater.

As I strode into this place, another member of the mechanical race hurriedly stepped forward.

"Fellow human allies, please follow me. The commander is already waiting here."

"Okay, let's go see that person."

The group of powerful figures walked leisurely, not in a hurry to meet the figures behind them.

As they walked and chatted, the group arrived at the center of this star city.

Above this place, a figure that radiates a bright light, like a mechanical sun, appears upside down in the sky.

The figure rippled with immense power, surrounded by a vast ocean of information. In the blink of an eye, not only Jiang Shu but even Zhan Jiuxiao was slightly surprised.

"The Machine Race Matrix? These lunatics have even brought out the sleeping Matrix."

Without a doubt, the status of the Machine Race's mother race is extraordinary, even surpassing the peak of the Venerable realm.

At this moment, the mother's gaze fell, and countless particles gathered in the air, forcibly piecing together the figure of a woman.

The woman smiled slightly, looked at everyone present, and then said, "Greetings, everyone. Please give my regards to the human saint."

"I have seen the mechanical matrix."

Zhan Jiuxiao led the other human venerables in raising their hands in greeting.

He couldn't even estimate the strength of the mechanical mothership before him.

After all, just based on that one skill of recombining matter and forming people, they thought that the mother body in front of them must have gone very far on the path of creation and transformation.

At the same time, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out on the starship.

Everyone looked up and saw countless giant insects flying in like a locust plague. Most of the giant insects were not highly cultivated and could barely move in the deep space of the universe.

As for the seven or eight that acted as leaders, each of them possessed the cultivation level of a Venerable.

The two leading ones, in particular, possessed the aura of peak Venerables.

In short, the Zerg also paid great attention to this area.

"In that case, how do we now find that pseudo-universe?"

"Not urgent."

And the human female figure that the mother body had reassembled shook her head slightly and said:
"No need to rush. There are still two days before that place opens, so we can take our time to prepare."

"The human race's venerable one—was it he who obtained the power of that black stone and also the key?"

The mechanical mother looked up at Jiang Shu, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Yes, didn't you share the data after you returned?"

Zhan Jiuxiao spoke jokingly.

"It's just a vague idea, but based on the information we received last time, this person seems to be even more extraordinary."

Opening of the mechanical matrix.

Jiang Shu simply laughed it off and ignored it.

"Let me explain the current situation to you."

The mechanical matrix opened its mouth, and in an instant, the corridor was filled with dense energy spectral lines and simulated rune images.

As these countless images intertwine and crisscross, they form a picturesque scene.

That was also a starry sky, containing a large number of planets, each different from the last.

Some planets are home to powerful beings, while others are desolate and barren. In addition to humans, there are also mechanical and insectoid races.

After all, this universe is a rebirth of the original universe, not a true destruction. If some species remain, it can be explained.

"According to our calculations, the pseudo-universe we have discovered may not even be one percent of the visible universe we know today. However, even so, it is vast enough for life forms as small as mayflies."

As he spoke, a Zerg envoy standing nearby immediately scoffed.

"You mechanical race still love to boast, as if you're not planktonic beings."

The Zergling spoke with a cold laugh.

Meanwhile, the numerous mechanical guards on the side were on high alert, seemingly ready to attack the messenger at any moment.

"Humph!"

The Zerg envoy snorted coldly and said no more.

At this moment, the humanoid figure created by the mother figure continued to speak:
"Next, we should discuss the division of interests, because there may be conflicts later on."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu smiled strangely. The last time he broke into the Sage's Tomb, he should have signed an alliance agreement, but unfortunately, too many powerful forces were involved, rendering the so-called alliance agreement useless.

"I wonder what the Machine Race Mother thinks?"

Zhan Jiuxiao politely inquired.

The insectoid venerable one then spoke with a cold laugh:
"Cooperating with these things is not as good as cooperating with us directly. They can plan everything behind the scenes and send us to our deaths. You will gain a lot in the end."

The mechanical mother slightly turned her gaze and glanced at the Zerg envoy.

In an instant, the insectoid envoy's body stiffened slightly, and every mouth on his body was forcibly sealed, making it impossible for him to speak again.

"Alright, now the world is quiet."

The mother said calmly.

Jiang Shu was also amazed: "The cultivation levels of the Mechanical Race are indeed quite abstract."

In today's universe, intelligent beings are not judged by their physical bodies or their ability to cultivate laws, but by the fact that they possess their own souls.

Clearly, unlike other schools of thought, they become indifferent as they strive to improve themselves and move towards the Tao.

The system of this race is extremely special. The most important thing is that each race has no intelligence and only follows predetermined functions and commands given by the outside world.

In ordinary systems, the higher one's cultivation level, the closer one is to being a god.

However, the mechanical group is different. The higher their cultivation level, the richer and more natural their emotions and expressions become.

"Alright, that's enough of the annoying guy. Now let's continue."

The humanoid body reassembled by the mechanical matrix continued to speak: "The rules are not actually difficult for you. Simply put, if any of you can obtain some benefit under individual circumstances, we will naturally not interfere."

"But if it involves collaboration from multiple parties, a referendum must be held to determine the appropriate division of responsibilities..."

The mechanical entity made several requests, none of which were excessive, and they were all fulfilled.

"Next, we will naturally discuss the two scenarios of the pseudo-universe in this regard."

"If you gain any insights, experiences, or key information from this, please share them. This won't cost any resources, and you'll even receive a reward."

……

The machine race spoke in increasingly detailed terms, and everyone listened intently.

Soon after, the agreement on the distribution of the spoils was almost finalized.

"Gentlemen, please rest for now. We have prepared accommodations for your arrival."

The human venerables nodded in agreement and then left the place to rest.

The place Jiang Shu chose to stay was a rather luxurious villa, which was even illuminated by simulated light within this dark domain.

The previous owner of this place is unknown, as is whether he was killed by the mechanical race or devoured by the insectoid race.

Jiang Shu ignored all of this and was about to sit cross-legged to continue strengthening the forbidden Daoist energy within his body.

In that instant, the area between his eyebrows suddenly became burning hot and itchy.

"This is……"

Jiang Shu's expression suddenly turned strange as he sensed that the wisp of Dao pattern between his brows had crawled out like a caterpillar, appearing on his forehead.

"So there's been some reaction?"

Jiang Shu was startled, and a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face.

He felt the effects of the lines between his eyebrows, and tried various methods, including stimulating spiritual power and other techniques, but to no avail.

That Dao pattern seemed to serve only as a means of sensing.

However, this also made Jiang Shu truly certain that the Dao pattern in his hand was probably the key to unlocking this event.

"Those two parties didn't deceive each other, thankfully."

Two days passed quickly, and Jiang Shu emerged from the crowd to meet with many powerful human warriors.

At this moment, the Mechs and Zerg had also gathered, waiting for that opportunity to arrive.

Once the time arrives, they will be able to enter that pseudo-universe and obtain massive amounts of resources.

"Please follow me, everyone. We have prepared the necessary procedures and are about to jump into that pseudo-universe edge zone."

"Transferring to another universe?"

Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of excitement. He had always been curious about the secret behind his ability to traverse between two worlds.

However, even now that he has become a Venerable One, he still cannot see what secret lies behind this.

Now is the time to test the waters.

At this moment, as the mechanical queen spoke, the entire star city beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

This is not a sign of collapse, nor is it due to an attack. Rather, the entire star city has mobilized a massive amount of energy, causing the entire city to teeter on the brink of collapse.

Jiang Shu glanced around and saw that the star city had been modified in various ways, with a strong mechanical style.

These immense forces surged forth and converged into a certain device. The total amount of energy probably surpassed the peak of a Venerable, and even approached that of a Saint.

However, simply accumulating energy is not very meaningful. For that level of combat, it can be broken almost instantly.

The energy here is not used for combat.

At this moment, the mechanical mother body, resembling a suspended mechanical head, emitted countless torrents of information, and then manipulated the star city to operate violently.

Rumble!
Star City trembled violently, unleashing more and more energy. Immediately, the many Venerables present joined forces and began to utilize the laws of space.

"Strong warriors of the Zerg and the Terrans, please lend us your assistance."

The human clone created by the mechanical mother spoke.

The next moment, the powerful members of both the Zerg and the Human races also made their moves, joining forces to reverse spacetime.

At this moment, the total number of Venerables present was as high as thirty. With their combined efforts, they managed to create a gate of light under the command of the mechanical race's mother.

The energy for the portal was being provided by that star city.

Even so, it probably took draining most of the energy from the transformed Star City to complete the project.

The coordinates of the target of this portal were in disarray, seemingly still being adjusted.

"Please wait a moment. Our mechanical race's mother body needs some time to be located."

"That pseudo-universe is attached to the larger universe, but it will also constantly wander on the edge of the larger universe."

A mechanical messenger spoke up.

Neither the Zerg nor the Terrans had much of an opinion on this, and they waited quietly.

After all, compared to computing power, the mechanical race naturally stands out.

All that could be seen was the mechanical matrix constantly performing calculations and deductions.

The chaotic energy flow within the portal began to stabilize, and the aura of the space seemed to have a clear purpose. (End of Chapter)
