Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Lin Huanwu, with his white hair, sat on the throne in the Golden Palace, angrily rebuking his ministers.

"Your Majesty, the elixir of immortality is unattainable..."

"If Chen Aniu can be found, why can't I, the ruler of a nation, be found? If we can't find Chen Aniu, then find his family. Anyway, he's been missing for years, so why be afraid!"

At Lin Huanwu's command, the state machinery sprang into action.

Of course, he didn't have this control at the beginning.

But over the years, he has been in power and has gradually gained control over all the major and minor factions within the court.

Even without Heng's deterrent power, it can still command countless heads to roll to the ground without shaking any of its foundations.

Having held this position for many years, his talents had naturally been brought to the fore.

Even more so, in the depths he was unaware of, having possessed the highest position for many years, he had been awakened to an unprecedented desire for immortality. The selfish wisdom factor that had been widely planted within him by the gourd people had long been activated.

Not only was it activated, but because he never even thought of practicing martial arts, it continued to grow enormous and expand infinitely.

In addition, thanks to his early martial arts training and the diet of an emperor, he developed a very good physique.

Although he was getting old and over a hundred years old, with a face full of spots, he still had some strength to control the court.

However, due to a lack of further training, he never became stronger; only the infinite 'selfish' wisdom factor activated on the throne continued to expand.

Of course, as he grew older, he also noticed that some of the discontent among his subordinates was gradually becoming uncontrollable.

After everyone left, Lin Huanwu was plunged into deep sorrow.

"Why, why can't I do it, but Chen Aniu can!"

And at that very moment—

"If you want, I can give you that opportunity."

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Who, who is talking?"

"Me? The person you've always wanted to see."

The person I've always wanted to see?
Lin Huanwu felt a jolt of fear, suddenly looked up, and glanced around. There was no one there.

The sound comes directly from inside the head.

This kind of supernatural power, this kind of method...

"Your Excellency, could you be the holy one who imparted the secret of immortality to Chen Aniu?"

Lin Huanwu asked in a trembling voice.

“A holy person? No, I am just an ancient person who can never die. However, although I am not the one who taught you the so-called method of Chen Aniu’s immortality, I am the one who gave him the opportunity to live forever.”

"Ancient people who couldn't die?"

“That’s right, Lin Huanwu, you and I are very similar. Back then, I was also a ruler of a civilized country. Because I longed for the way to eternal life, I used the country to search for the method. But the difference between you and me is that I found my own opportunity, which allowed me to travel through the infinite universe and leave behind countless clones. But you, on the other hand, searched the whole world but could not find it.”

The one speaking was the gourd-shaped person.

Whether it was out of a sudden impulse or not, he began to recount his past.

Lin Huanwu listened patiently, then asked:

"Holy and immortal ancients, you just said you could give me the chance to live forever. Is that true?"

"Of course, your selfishness has been cultivated to such an excellent degree. How could I allow someone as talented as you to die so easily?"

The gourd-shaped figure chuckled and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huanwu's heart stirred, and he asked:

"Could it be that Chen Aniu has gained your favor because of this so-called 'selfishness'?"

"Him? He's different from you. His 'selfish factor' is also quite strong. He figured out the method himself and strengthened it to the point that he could barely be considered decent. Unfortunately, he was ultimately blind to everything, but his 'selfish factor' eventually shrank, and he will surely die in the future."

The gourd-shaped man was certain that Heng would perish in a few hundred years, as if he had already foreseen that day.

"He must die? Haha, very well. May I ask, Holy One, can I live?" "With your current level of 'selfishness,' as long as you understand my method, I guarantee you will live for at least tens of thousands of years."

"Hundreds of thousands of years? May I ask the divine being to enlighten me!"

Lin Huanwu's face lit up with ecstasy.

It's already quite remarkable that I've lived this long. Whether I can survive any longer, I'll figure out later.

"Then you need to concentrate and not get distracted. If my method damages your brain, don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huanwu immediately calmed himself down.

follow closely--

boom! ! ! !

A deluge of information flooded my mind.

This information seemed to contain a lot of 'impurities', which immediately overwhelmed Lin Huanwu's spirit.

puff.

He fell to the ground.

"What Lin Huanwu? He's nothing but a useless personality. From this day forward, I will reverse everything. I am Wu Huanling!"

This seems to be yet another experiment by the gourd people.

While teaching Lin Huanwu the secret to immortality, he also caused his soul to split into countless pieces.

From that moment on, while pursuing the path to immortality, he also sought a way to reunite his soul.

……

The year is now 2100 in the Gregorian calendar.

Lunar Fortress.

"Indeed, humanity is making rapid progress."

In his quest for a way to unite souls, he took on various roles, from ancient times to the present, sometimes killing those connected to the Calabash People (Old Zhang, Clones Lu), sometimes participating in the development of artificial mechs, and sometimes participating in the research and development of the Dream Virtual Mother Machine, his presence felt all over the world.

Of course, the main task is to find everything related to the gourd people.

After being taught the secret to immortality by the gourd man, he was forced into a state of mental breakdown and suffered greatly every day.

Although it grants immortality, it is no different from being tortured.

If he could, he would definitely seek retribution from the gourd man for this suffering.

Today on the moon, he killed a character who had been replaced, and realizing that he was almost discovered by a young man, he was about to take him down.

"That young man... his name was Li Yi, I think I ran into him once on the Yaochi Ship, and he almost noticed me that time."

On that occasion, he impersonated an investigator and easily fooled a group of people.

This time, as he approached the young man, preparing to make a move, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"Forget it, this guy can see through my disguise, so he's definitely not an ordinary person. I don't need to take the risk. I can just live a little longer, but I'm not invincible... I should retreat."

Ultimately, he decided to stop interfering in matters related to the moon.

"Let's go to the alien territory and see if there are any other better materials. I just want to live a quiet life and don't want to be targeted by any powerful people."

After being easily driven to schizophrenia by the gourd-like people, he developed a deep fear of those powerful individuals he could not understand.

Oh, by the way, his current identity is the highest bishop of the True Holy Church, a sect he founded.

But since they are leaving human territory, there's no need for this sect to remain.

After much deliberation, he decided to use this sect as bait in exchange for a batch of resources to leave human territory.

Several months later, the incident occurred in which Li Yi, together with several Heavenly Realm experts, lured the True Saint Sect into making a move and subsequently destroyed it.

Meanwhile, Wu Huanling had already left human territory and embarked on a long interstellar journey. (End of Chapter)
