Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

The microcosm before my eyes suddenly contracted and expanded, extending all the way to the outer reaches of the solar system.

The immense spacetime load also caused a great distortion in the spacetime of the solar system itself, forming a huge spacetime turbulence.

The surrounding powers realized the situation was bad and retreated.

If someone were to be swept up by this microcosm and become Li Yi's prisoner like the people of the Heavenly Dragon Sovereign, the situation would be dire.

"This Lord Yi is getting too arrogant. He can handle so many Sovereigns and Supremes all by himself, and he even dares to try and drag us into it?"

"Does he not know that our power is far superior to that of those useless rulers?"

"That's right, that fool is clearly up to no good. He still wants to get the first share of the pie?"

"That Lord Yi was someone who easily suppressed and killed Jiu Yu, how could he be so foolish?"

"However, he has indeed become arrogant this time."

The lone rulers on the periphery exchanged a few casual words, all deeply impressed by Li Yi's methods.

However, they still looked down on Li Yi's arrogance and his attempt to drag them, who were stronger, into his scheme, and even ridiculed him.

It wasn't that they were mocking Li Yi's abilities, but rather his arrogance.

Although some of these people are not as strong as the Heavenly Dragon and Fire Phoenix, they are numerous and much stronger than the bottom-tier rulers of the Third Era who have little effect in the microcosm.

But their smiles soon faded.

They thought they could sit back and relax on the periphery.

The moment the microcosm expanded to the boundary of the solar system, it suddenly surged, unleashing an overwhelming and irresistible attraction that abruptly drew in all the surrounding forces.

These powerful figures are renowned rulers from the second, fourth, and fifth eras, numbering more than ten from each era.

Among them are three powerful rulers whose prestige rivals that of the Heavenly Dragon and the Nine Feathers.

They are the Five Leaf Overlords of the early Second Era, piloting the 90,000-meter Overlord Mech.

The ever-changing master of the fourth era, piloting an 80,000-meter-long master mech.

The Void Overlord of the Fifth Era, piloting a 120,000-meter-long Overlord Mech.

And, seven well-known ancient creatures.

The seven are: True Crab, True Lizard, True Shell, True Armor, Great Golden Crow, Great Kun, and Great Zhu Yan.

"Zhen" and "Tai" are prefixes unique to the names of ancient organisms.

This truly refers to the original ancestral lineage of this type of biological form, each of whom is the bloodline ancestor of countless divine beings in later generations.

"Tai" refers to a creature that has reached the pinnacle of power, a terrifying being whose physical body alone can rival that of a low-level magic god.

For example, the World God, formerly known as the Great World, is born at the pinnacle of this special type of creature and possesses a variety of terrifying innate powers.

Those whose names contain the prefix "Tai" are a whole level stronger and more powerful than the ancient creatures with the character "Zhen," with only a few exceptions.

For example, the two ancient creatures, the True Dragon and the True Phoenix, whose lives have spread far and wide, have many flaws and have never been able to reach the pinnacle of their kind.

However, its inherent power is equally formidable.

In the blink of an eye, the last dozen or twenty powerful individuals on the periphery were swept into the microcosm.

In an instant, only the World God remained in the entire solar system, both inside and outside, withstanding the sweeping wave and remaining steadfast on the outer perimeter.

Even so, the God of the World was still greatly surprised.

Because he could feel that the power of that microcosm sweeping towards him was more like a show.

It seems that Li Yi sensed his arrogance and therefore deliberately avoided him. "Interesting. I thought you relied on your strength to act arrogantly, but it turns out you have quite a bit of insight and vision."

The God of the Realm opened his Eye of Realm Reflection and carefully observed the past.

He wanted to see if Li Yi's purpose in bringing so many powerful individuals in at once was truly to create a new world.

If so, that would be incredible.

The so-called "Creation Realm" is a concept cultivated to an extremely profound level. It is a core ability that transcends ordinary rulers and is truly possessed by the strongest rulers of the first era.

It was precisely because those eight rulers joined forces to cut off most of the universe's origin and create their own realm that the universe's origin was damaged, causing the disaster to escalate and gradually show a tendency to completely destroy the entire universe.

Only the most experienced ancient beings and powerful rulers would know the general situation behind this.

Other ordinary rulers and newly promoted rulers, at most, only know from hearsay that the root of the disaster lies with the core rulers of the first era.

But we don't know how they did it, or how they managed to do it.

In essence, they joined forces to cut apart the universe and create a new world.

This realm is no ordinary one; it has severed almost all of the universe's origin and the top-level core of various conceptual sequences.

This also led to a situation where those who followed them lacked a top-level concept for their cultivation practices, making it impossible for them to perfect them.

Therefore, these later rulers were said to have the power to rule.

In reality, it's just that it's richer and more complete than the concepts comprehended by the Supreme Being.

Essentially, it stems from a lack of top-level concepts and a lack of the aura that a truly powerful leader should possess.

Only a few exceptionally talented, lucky, and hardworking individuals can overcome this limitation and barely reach the level of Nine Feathers or Heavenly Dragon.

And that's the limit.

Due to the limitations of their innate physical bodies, they can only utilize all things, namely divine mechs, to achieve a level of combat power comparable to that of ancient creatures.

Without divine mechs, even ten Tianlong-level powerhouses combined wouldn't be enough to defeat a slightly stronger ancient creature.

The difference in their life rank is so great that the boost brought by the concept becomes insignificant.

It's like ants learning technology, being able to fire guns, and becoming invincible among ants.

But against humans, these bullets are like a tickle.

Only when ants can harness large mechs and utilize the amplification brought about by sufficient scale can they generate sufficiently powerful force.

Li Yi's transformation into Holy Armor is essentially the same.

Without this external boost, his current physical combat strength is comparable to that of an ordinary ruler, but it is naturally not enough to physically overpower ancient creatures.

Now, if Li Yi really wants to sever the origin of the universe and create his own world, the situation could be very different.

If true, this means that Li Yi will have reached the level of power of the first era's ruler, comparable to the God of Law.

Then, those who come after him will also have their power ceiling lowered once again because the origin of the universe was cut apart again and various concepts were cut apart by Li Yi.

If that's the case, then the God of the Realm might have to stop it.

After all, he hasn't transcended yet, and he can't tolerate the fact that the origin of the universe has been greatly reduced.

This would undoubtedly greatly reduce the probability of him achieving transcendence.

The so-called transcendence is essentially the situation where the more paths one's predecessors have trod, the more blocked the path becomes for those who come after.

But is Li Yi really going to go to such extremes? (End of Chapter)
