I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The purple blood on this land is still warm.

They stepped through, their armor and boots stained with color.

No one cares.

In the center of the battlefield, the forty-meter-tall steel behemoth still knelt in place.

Shen Tian walked around it, carefully examining every part of its structure.

The outer armor plates are intact.

The joint hinges were not deformed.

The only damage was that the internal spiritual energy transmission circuit was precisely burned off by the divine lightning.

The core driving crystal is still inside the chest cavity, emitting a cold purple light intact.

Shen Tian stopped in front of its chest and placed his palm on the edge of the giant crystal core.

It was warm and had a slight vibration, like a heartbeat.

Just then.

Deep within his mind, a system notification sounded.

[Orange Talent "Abyss Observer" effect triggered - Target memory has been acquired, and the host can view the relevant memory in the panel]

Shen Tian's pupils contracted slightly.

[Fusing memory fragments detected]

Should we integrate memory fragments to upgrade the "Weapon Forging Secrets"?

Shen Tian's breath hitched for a second.

The secret method of weapon forging can even be upgraded?

He glanced down at the giant crystal core in his palm, its purple light flickering eerily, like a heart that had been dissected.

Shen Tian did not hesitate.

"upgrade."

[The fusion begins...]

After a while.

[The Secret Art of Weapon Forging has been upgraded!]

Shen Tian checked the upgraded weapon-forging techniques on the system panel.

On the panel.

[New Technology 1: War Golem Casting]

【简介：以精神力驱动晶核为核心，铸造可远程操控的战争兵器。傀儡体型可分为小型（2-5米）、中型（10-20米）、大型（30-50米）三个级别。驱动方式为精神力直连或信号塔中继操控。傀儡战斗力取决于核心晶核品质、装甲材料强度及灵纹铭刻精度。】

[New Technology 2: Construction of Spirit Signal Towers]

[Introduction: The Spirit Signal Tower is the core of the Purple Spirit Clan's war system. Its first function is to amplify and broadcast the mental power of a psychic by tens or even hundreds of times using high-purity soul crystals embedded within the tower. This continuously interferes with the mental power of enemy targets within its coverage area, reducing their reaction speed and judgment, and in severe cases, causing mental collapse. Simultaneously, the signal tower can emit standardized mental control signals to remotely drive war puppets into formation combat. The effective control radius depends on the tower's specifications, but can reach a maximum of one hundred miles.]

[New Technology: Spirit Rune Inscription]

[Description: Spirit Runes are the bridge connecting the Spirit Signal Tower and the War Golem. The array of spirit runes engraved inside the golem's armor and joints can convert the spiritual wave signals emitted by the Spirit Signal Tower into the power that drives the golem's movements.]

Three technologies.

A complete war system.

From casting to driving to control, a precise closed loop is formed.

A war signal tower is a war engine.

Once a spiritual signal tower takes root within the Dragon Kingdom, using the high-purity soul crystals embedded within the tower as a medium, the mental masters of the Purple Spirit Clan can amplify their spiritual power by tens or even hundreds of times.

The coverage area extends for hundreds of miles.

Within a hundred miles, all ordinary human civilians will experience headaches, insomnia, irritability, and hallucinations.

Over time, he suffered a mental breakdown.

This is just a side effect of passive radiation.

More importantly, remotely control war puppets.

A single tower controls a radius of hundreds of miles.

With three towers overlapping each other, tens of thousands of war puppets can be simultaneously controlled for formation warfare within a radius of 300 miles.

Shen Tian took a deep breath; he finally understood.

Why did the Purple Spirit Clan travel thousands of miles to the heart of the Dragon Kingdom to "peacefully settle in"?

Why did the first vanguard team bring 10,000 men, and they even said that at most 100,000 could come?

This is a troop buildup.

They planned to build a spirit signal tower as close as possible to the Dragon Defense Line, and then cast war puppets on the spot.

In the occupied territories of the Dragon Kingdom, there are resources available everywhere.

Inexhaustible.

Once the spiritual signal tower is built, once the million war puppets are cast—

All it takes is a single command.

A million-strong steel torrent, tireless and fearless of death, directly crushed the border defenses of the Dragon Kingdom.

And standing on the border of the Dragon Kingdom are living, breathing people.

Flesh and blood against a torrent of steel.

Shen Tian clenched his fists.

This is what they call "peaceful entry," and this is what Lin Hai calls "mutual benefit and win-win."

Shen Tian looked at the corpses of the Purple Spirit Clan scattered all over the ground, his eyes cold.

He who kills will be killed by others.

Do Lin Hai and the people behind him know the true purpose of the Purple Spirit Clan?

Maybe you know, maybe you don't.

But it doesn't matter.

Because whether they know it or not, the result is the same.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

These eight words are not prejudice, nor are they hatred.

It is a bloody fact.

The Purple Spirit Clan is like this, and so is the case!

They cannot coexist with humans.

It's never possible.

There is no gray area between humans and alien beasts and demons.

Either you die, or I perish.

He had only one thought in his mind, which was extremely clear and unwavering.

He will continue down this path.

Slay all the strange beasts in the world.

Slaughter all the otherworldly demons.

Until there was nothing on Earth that could threaten the survival of humanity.

Leave none alive!

【Ding! 】

[Would you like to consume 10000 kill points to perform a 100% perfect repair on the War Golem?]

After the weapon-forging technique was upgraded, the forging of war golems has become part of it.

The system can naturally repair it.

And it's a 100% perfect fix.

The logic is exactly the same as that of the secret method of forging weapons.

"Yes."

Shen Tian didn't hesitate for even a second.

[10000 kill points consumed]

[Repair begins...]

The giant crystal core beneath his palm suddenly trembled.

Ziguang's stock price surged.

A visible energy ripple spread outward from the center of the crystal core, extending at an astonishing speed along the gaps in the chest armor plates to the limbs.

hum-

Everyone heard that sound.

It was deep and heavy, like the first breath of an ancient behemoth awakening.

Qin Zhenshan suddenly turned his head.

Chi Xiao placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Zhou Xuan took three steps back, his expression changing drastically.

Shen Tian remained motionless, his palm still pressed against the crystal core, feeling the power of the system flowing through his steel body.

The spiritual energy transmission circuit that was severed by the divine lightning is being rebuilt at an incredible speed.

Purple-gold energy threads grew out of the crystal core, spreading like blood vessels throughout the entire body along pre-designed grooves.

The repaired conduction circuit is more precise and efficient than the original Purple Spirit Clan version.

The way the lines are laid out has changed.

The removal of redundant nodes improved transmission efficiency by at least 30%.

This is what "100% perfect repair" means.

It's not about restoring the original state, but about achieving the theoretically most perfect state of this body based on its existing foundation.

On the inside of the armor plate, new patterns are growing on the array of spirit patterns that were charred black by lightning.

Purple runes emerged stroke by stroke, as if an invisible hand was carving on the metal surface.

The entire repair process lasted less than thirty seconds.

But in those thirty seconds, everyone present forgot to breathe.

Because they saw it with their own eyes—

The colossal steel behemoth kneeling on the ground is coming back to life.

First, the spiritual patterns on the joints of the limbs lit up.

A cold, purple light flowed along the seams of the armor plates, like lava filling a dried-up riverbed.

Then comes the torso.

The giant crystal core inside the chest cavity burst forth with a dazzling purple light, and the vertical pupil-shaped core reopened, its light brighter and more solid than before.

Finally, the head.

The oval-shaped metal head was slightly raised, and purple light spilled out from every seam.

[Repair complete!]
