World version update

Chapter 233 How Rumors Were Born
The destruction of a secondary war fortress was rare but not a big deal.

Although the secondary war fortress is strong, its resistance at the mysterious level is almost zero. If a strong person with special abilities approaches the range of the secondary war fortress, there is a chance that it will be destroyed.

But in this war, three secondary war fortresses and one satellite-level war fortress crashed, which was definitely a major event that shocked the entire Great Collapse Realm.

Under the gloomy sky, a huge monster was moving slowly across the barren land like an ancient beast.

It is like a small mountain made up of countless metal structures. Its surface is covered with a special dark gray alloy, which emits a cold luster under the gloomy sky, like a flowing metal ocean.

The Intelligent City is a huge force formed by the gathering of all creations in the intelligent version, and is also the battlefield overlord in the Great Collapse Realm.

Beneath the flowing metal shell, there are countless war factories hidden, and a large number of war machines are produced every minute and every second.

In terms of the potential for large-scale war, the Robot City ranks second and no other force can rank first.

As soon as the satellite-class war fortress lost contact, the Intelligent City sent out several mechanical intelligent beings to survey the battlefield and try to reconstruct what happened on the battlefield.

However, in just half an hour, a detailed survey report was sent to the Supreme Council of the Intelligent City.

Around the round table, all thirteen members of the Intelligent Council, representing the highest authority in Intelligent City, were present.

They have fully mechanized intelligent life forms, information life forms that reside in virtual images, and even worse, only a brain remains soaked in nutrient solution.
The presence of the thirteen councillors is enough to show the importance that the Intelligent City attaches to this war.

In fact, for the Intelligent City, the loss of the secondary war fortress is insignificant.

As long as there are enough high-level resources, it is not difficult to build a secondary war fortress with the industrial level of the Intelligent City.

However, satellite-level war fortresses are absolutely top-notch forces even in the Intelligent City. The manufacture of satellite-level war fortresses requires not only massive amounts of high-level resources, but more importantly, the three core modules carried by the satellite-level war fortresses.

The three core modules are all creations of rules, and are also the key to the satellite-level war fortress's ability to hunt down Nascent Soul powerhouses.

The three core modules of Energy Tide, Soul Blockade and Spell Annihilation are called Immortal Hunting Modules, which are specially designed for hunting immortal cultivators. In addition, there are God Killing Module and Absolute Martial Arts Module, which are aimed at extraordinary people of different systems.

The value of the three core modules alone far exceeds the materials of a satellite-class war fortress. More importantly, even if one searches the entire Great Collapse Realm, not many of these resources can be found. This is enough to show how much loss the Intelligent City suffered in this battle.

What's more important is that some immortal cultivators directly destroyed the satellite-level war fortress equipped with the immortal hunting module, shaking the trump card that the Intelligent City is proud of. This blow to the Intelligent City is far greater than the loss of resources.

Inside the Round Table Council Hall, the Omnic Councillor, who was covered in flesh and blood and mechanical creations, presided over the meeting. He took out the survey report he had compiled and reported to the other Omnic Councillors:
"After investigation by the Mechanical Wise and combined with the information transmitted by the main brain, this Immortal Cancer pretended to be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage to show weakness to the enemy, holding a magic banner, and controlling a large number of powerful ghosts.

There is no information recorded about him in the database of Intelligent Machinery City. The Mechanical Sage made a bold guess that the Immortal Cancer who disguised himself as a person at the peak of Foundation Establishment should actually be at the peak of Golden Core to Nascent Soul stage. He is suspected to be a very hidden master of the magic path of the Immortal Alliance.

The magic banner in his hand is the recorded magic treasure Soul Banner! "

Afterwards, the Intelligent Senator uploaded another document, which was a record about the Demonic Soul Banner.

After reading it, many Omnic councillors maintained their expressions, but the rapidly flowing torrent of information in their eyes showed that their moods were not as calm as they appeared.

Afterwards, a large amount of information was transmitted among the intelligent robot senators.

"Is it such a vicious creature?"

"Absorbing souls? Is the intelligence of my Omnic race also considered a soul?"

"The Immortal Alliance actually hides such an extraordinary strong man, and he also carries such a powerful weapon. Perhaps we should temporarily suspend the persecution of the Immortal Alliance."

Just as the robot councillors were discussing, the councillor presiding over the council dropped another bombshell.

“Members of the Senate, please note that the cultivation and magic weapons of this Immortal Cancer are secondary. No matter how ferocious the Soul Banner is, our Intelligent Machinery Clan will never go to the battlefield in person, and his methods will not be able to do anything to our war machines.

The real key is that this Immortal Cancer seems to have mastered a magical power that can make our mechanical creations suddenly malfunction!"

“According to the analysis of the information transmitted by the main brain and the wreckage of the war fortress, three secondary war fortresses and one satellite-level war fortress all experienced sudden internal failures, which eventually triggered a chain reaction out of control and led to their destruction by the enemy.

This kind of magical power is the power at the rule level, which cannot be blocked by material and energy means at all, and even the power of rules of the core module is difficult to resist.

Especially the last time we faced the satellite-class war fortress, the other party seemed to have suppressed the operation of the hunting module by some means, and then used magical powers again to destroy the satellite-class war fortress. "

After these words were spoken, even the intelligent senators who had lost most of their emotions could no longer sit still.

"There is such a magical power?"

"The Great Collapse Realm has lasted for tens of thousands of years, why have we never heard of this kind of magical power?"

“The number of satellite-class war fortresses in the Intelligent City is limited, and most of the time they can only be used for threats.

The main combat power of most battlefields is the secondary war fortresses. Once this magical power can destroy the secondary war fortresses at will, it will greatly reduce the war potential of the Intelligent City. "

"High-risk alert! High-risk alert!"

"We must confirm whether this magical power can be learned by others. If this special magical power can be passed down, it will definitely bring endless troubles to our Intelligent City."

"We must hunt down this immortal cancer at all costs!"

After a brief exchange, all the intelligent councillors reached a consensus.

First, all mechanical forces were used to search for any trace of Lu Yan. Once found, all satellite-level war fortresses were mobilized to hunt him down.

Secondly, spread the identity of Lu Yan, the true disciple of the Demonic Dao, and the information about the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand to the outside world.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is a forbidden treasure of the Immortal Alliance, especially the righteous ones are extremely hostile to it. The Intelligent Machinery City wants to use this move to cause dissatisfaction within the Immortal Alliance over the use of forbidden magic weapons by the true disciples of the evil path, and to ignite the conflict between the righteous and evil paths.

In the process, the news of special magical powers was concealed, and the threat of the true teachings of magic was exaggerated in other aspects, creating a powerful image that could break the balance of power in each version and arouse the hostility of the major version forces.

After just a few hours, a flood of information about the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the true teachings of the Demonic Path began to spread throughout the entire Great Collapse Realm.

Coincidentally, tens of thousands of miles away in the sky, a majestic kingdom of God stands at the junction of reality and myth.

The kingdom of God hangs above the sea of ​​clouds, its outline like an inverted golden scale, and its size is so huge that it stretches for hundreds of miles.

The city is surrounded by seven circular walls, each of which is inhabited by believers of different ranks. The levels are divided by the power of faith to herd all living beings.

And in the very center of the kingdom of God, the temple towers into the sky, and loud voices of prayer emanate from the sacred hall.

In the seven-layer inner kingdom of God, millions of heroes followed the voice of prayer and chanted. A huge amount of faith power flowed day and night to provide the kingdom with a source of power. In the golden sea of ​​clouds above the kingdom of God, demigods turned into tall shadows. Their eyes, which should have been watching all living beings, turned to the last demigod, Cairns.

Feeling the gazes of so many demigods, Keynes' face showed no fluctuations, but he had already started cursing in his heart.

The Kingdom of Gods and the Intelligent City jointly eradicated the Cancer of Immortality that appeared in the ruins of the blessed land. This should have been an easy task. With a demigod and a satellite-level war fortress dispatched, even the Cancer of Immortality at the Nascent Soul stage would die.

If he has made great achievements at that time, the Kingdom of God will surely grant him faith as a reward. This is an opportunity that Keynes has fought hard for.

Who would have thought that the merit that was originally picked up for free would lead to an accident. A satellite-level war fortress and three secondary war fortresses were destroyed, leaving only the demigod Keynes alive.

This was absolutely the worst news for Keynes.

The rules of the Kingdom of Gods are strict, because the beliefs of the demigods in the Great Collapse Realm do not belong to them, but their source is the Kingdom of Gods.

As long as the Kingdom of the Gods determines that Keynes is incompetent, they can strip Keynes of his faith, and even the Army of Heroes can be recovered at any time, and then the faith and the Army of Heroes can be given to another person to create a new demigod.

In this battle, Keynes underestimated the enemy and did not take action immediately, resulting in the destruction of two secondary war fortresses and a satellite-level war fortress. Later, he let Lu Yan escape because of the false threat from the Soul Continent.

If reported truthfully, such a record would certainly be punished. Even if a demigod added fuel to the fire, Keynes' position as demigod might not be kept.

Feeling the eager gazes of many demigods, Keynes spoke loudly:

“The Cancer of Immortality is insidious and cunning, and the magic weapon in his hand is extremely powerful. Five powerful ghosts can fight against me together.

More importantly, his magic weapon contains a broken kingdom of God. He can bring the kingdom of God to the world and suppress it. The demigods will have no power to resist at all!"

Keynes' words made many demigods look a little surprised, but someone immediately refuted:

"You are definitely quibbling. You are just an immortal cancer. How can you control the incomplete kingdom of God?"

"Keynes, you are really going backwards. You can even make up such a lie to protect yourself."

"Keynes made a big mistake on this mission, causing heavy losses to the Intelligent City. I propose to remove Keynes from his position as demigod and select a new demigod!"

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

Keynes' half-true and half-false words failed to deceive the many demigods, and the demigods above the clouds began to express their opinions.

Although the final decision lies with the Kingdom of the Gods, the attitudes of the demigods can also influence the choice of the Kingdom of the Gods.

Seeing that the number of demigods who had expressed their opinions was almost half, at this moment, in the holy temple in the center of the Kingdom of Gods, the sound of prayers slowly stopped, and was replaced by a majestic and sacred sound.

“A message came from the Intelligent Machinery City that the Immortal Cancer who ambushed us this time is suspected to have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and he holds the legendary magic treasure Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, and his power far exceeds that of an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord.

This is one of the final trump cards of the Immortal Alliance. Although Keynes failed, it was not his fault. "

As the sacred sound rang out, many demigods looked at Keynes with eyes filled with amazement.

"It's actually true?"

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the most precious treasure of the Demonic Path? Since it can be called a treasure among the Immortal Alliance, it is not impossible that it contains a fragment of the Kingdom of God."

"The true teachings of the magic way are the most brutal. Keynes is lucky to have been able to come back."

Keynes himself stood in the same place. If a demigod took the initiative to see through the light of faith surrounding him, he would find that Keynes himself was already confused.

As the only survivor of that war, Keynes knew very well how strong Lu Yan was.

Lu Yan is just a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, but his methods are quite special. If he had not been fooled at the last moment, Lu Yan's strength alone might not have allowed him to escape from his clutches.

"Does the Smart City have any special purpose?"

Keynes had some vague guesses, but he would not take the initiative to reveal them.

The stronger Lu Yan is, the less responsibility he will have for mission failure. At this critical moment, he will definitely not take the initiative to cause trouble for himself.

In the kingdom of gods, the demigods were discussing among themselves.

Half a day later, the news that an unknown master of the magic path was in charge of a ruined kingdom of God spread quickly. Such a powerful background further confirmed the statement that this master of the magic path was the hidden trump card of the Immortal Alliance.

In just a few days, Lu Yan became famous in this great collapse realm.

In secret, the various major forces that were at odds with the League of Immortals also began to secretly search for Lu Yan's whereabouts, and sent people to the territory of the League of Immortals to explore the secret information therein.

The search lasted for a full month, and all parties were shocked to find that Lu Yan seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

However, Lu Yan's disappearance did not reduce the public opinion from the major version forces. Instead, it made all parties start searching for Lu Yan's whereabouts more urgently.

Surrounding Lu Yan, countless undercurrents are surging in the Great Collapse version!

In the ruins of Dongxuan Blessed Land, hundreds of miles underground, Lu Yan was sitting cross-legged in a cave that was flashing with fluorescent light.

No one would have thought that Lu Yan, who had been searched for by all major forces, was hiding deep underground in the ruins of Dongxuan Blessed Land.

Although the Dongxuan blessed land has been reduced to ruins, the remaining rules, exhausted spiritual veins, and the remnants of the feng shui formation have made the environment here extremely complex. The detection methods of the Intelligent Machinery City are simply unable to explore to a depth of hundreds of miles underground.

After destroying the satellite-class war fortress, Lu Yan was almost exhausted and could not continue to escape.

If he exposed himself in the ruins of the blessed land, he would be caught sooner or later, so he decisively let the God of Qiongyuan choose the direction of space teleportation to the deep underground.

On the third day after the battle, Lu Yan had almost recovered, but he did not choose to escape from the ruins of Dongxuan Fudi.

Lu Yan knew very well that his own strength could not keep up with the dangerous environment of the Great Collapse version. Once he was targeted, he might not even be able to escape back to the Immortal Alliance safely.

Rather than risking his life and escaping in disgrace, Lu Yan chose to stay underground and improve his strength.

Then, give the Intelligent City a big surprise!
