Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

"Thump... thump..."

The subtle yet penetrating metallic heartbeat clearly reached Lin Hui's ears.

With each pulse, a divine golden light emanates from its core depths.

This moment.

Lin Hui felt his blood rushing through his body, every cell and every nerve sending a craving to his brain.

Lin Hui's intuition told him that this was the mechanical heart he wanted.

I didn't expect the Eldar to actually have this thing; Clement wasn't trying to fool me with a fake.

Now that we've confirmed the item is genuine, things become much easier.

"However, we need to prepare a backup plan before the formal transaction, in case the other party is desperate and tries something desperate."

Thinking of this, Lin Hui turned to Huo Lie and gave the order:

"Immediately assemble all your orc troops. We may be facing a tough battle with the Eldar next."

Huo Lie patted his chest and laughed, "Understood! I'll personally issue the mobilization order right away!"

After saying that, Huo Lie turned around and strode out of the royal court to consolidate his millions of orc troops.

Only Lin Hui and the Divine Emperor's avatar remained in the main hall.

As Huo Lie left, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became heavy.

The avatar of the God Emperor stood silently in place, glanced at the mechanical face on the holographic screen, and said with disappointment, "Is he... Clement?"

Lin Hui nodded slightly: "Yes."

In the past two days, Lin Hui has told the God Emperor's avatar everything about the current situation on Torres Star, Pope Clement's defection to the Mechanical Elf Race and the establishment of the Mechanical Cult.

The God Emperor's avatar struggled to suppress his inner rage, speaking in an icy tone:

"I never imagined... that the person I once personally chose and placed my hopes on would actually defect to a heretic and even turn around and harm the people of the empire. This is my sin."

Lin Hui turned his head and calmly said:

"Senior Divine Emperor, don't take all the blame upon yourself. No one can guarantee that a person will be loyal forever, and besides, time can change many things."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you clean house."

The Divine Emperor's avatar nodded slightly, then asked, "Now that you've confirmed the Mechanical Heart is in the hands of the Mechanical Spirit Race, what are your plans next?"

Based on his understanding of Lin Hui, he knew that Lin Hui would definitely not engage in a normal transaction with the other party.

Lin Hui smiled and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, we need to find out the coordinates of the Mechanical Heart and then snatch it back!"

After speaking, his expression turned serious, and he suddenly asked, "Senior God Emperor, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. If I want to seize it by force, I must first understand the enemy's strength. Just how powerful is this Mechanical Spirit Race's fleet?"

During this time, Lin Hui had a question that remained unanswered.

Before the former God Emperor ascended to demigod status, one of his avatars possessed the strength of the 9th-tier extreme realm, meaning he himself was at least a half-step demigod.

With such combat power, coupled with the original foundation of the Torres Empire, even if the mechanical spirit race's technology is incredibly advanced, it's not a pipe dream for the God Emperor to lead a few Rank 9 powerhouses into space and take down those five Supreme Lords.

Why didn't the God Emperor lead the fleet to completely eliminate the Mechanical Eldar back then, instead allowing them to hover in near-Earth orbit for so many years?

There must be some secret hidden within this that he is unaware of.

Upon hearing Lin Hui's question, the Divine Emperor's avatar remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:

"You guessed right. If it were just dealing with Tutankhamun and those few Supreme Lords, with my strength back then, it wouldn't be a problem at all."

"However, the reason why the Eldar can occupy near-Earth orbit and overlook the entire planet Torres is because their strongest force is not those five lords, but Sauron."

"Sauron?" Lin Hui raised an eyebrow. "The overlord of the Mechanical Eldar?"

Recalling the intelligence they had previously captured, Lin Hui subconsciously asked, "Wasn't He already severely injured and in a deep sleep when He crashed on Torres?"

Could it be that the information Clement deliberately released earlier was false in order to lure me into a trap?

"He is indeed asleep." The God Emperor's avatar shook his head and said in a deep voice, "But he is still a being that cannot be ignored."

"Back then, I made initial use of the [Omnipotent] authority and successfully reached the level of a demigod. At that moment, I led my subordinates directly into near-Earth orbit, intending to eliminate the Eldar fleet once and for all!"

"However..." The God Emperor's avatar's tone turned somber, "Just as I was about to reach the mechanical mothership, an extremely terrifying consciousness awakened from the depths of the fleet. It was that overlord Sauron! He did not appear in person, but merely locked onto me and issued a warning."

Lin Hui slowed his breathing slightly as he listened intently.

"I immediately made a prediction." The God Emperor's avatar gave a bitter smile. "The results showed that if I recklessly waged war against the Mechanical Eldar, the final outcome... would not only be that I would not benefit, but the entire planet Torres could be completely torn apart in the battle. Therefore, I had no choice but to compromise and abandon the attack."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui was secretly alarmed and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that this Overlord Sauron possesses demigod-level combat power?"

"No, not at all." The God Emperor's avatar gave an affirmative answer. "He should only have the strength of a half-step demigod, but his actual combat power was still a notch stronger than mine at that time!"

"Back then, He was severely injured by a supreme being, and the [Star God Fragment], which served as His energy core, shattered. If He hadn't faced a life-or-death crisis, He would never have awakened so easily."

Because if He were to be forcibly awakened, it would require an even longer period of time and a massive amount of energy to fully repair the Star God fragments and restore His demigod strength.

The God Emperor's avatar sighed, "So, we reached some kind of tacit understanding that time. I retreated to Star Shield City to prepare for my complete ascension to demigod status, while they continued to lie low in near-Earth orbit."

The incarnation of the God Emperor's voice became incredibly bitter as he spoke:

"But I never imagined... that my act of ascending to demigod would instead push the empire into an even more terrifying abyss."

"Just when I was about to advance to demigod, Tutan found me and told me about the evil god of the world."

But by then, I had already been subtly influenced by the madness and evil spirits within the power, and I couldn't heed any warnings. I only wanted to take that final step...

"Based on the information I have now, I have probably failed and become the medium for the evil god's descent."
