Poverty makes me capable of anything.

But he wasn't without support.

He was, after all, a member of the Eternal Star Road, and his situation was much better than that of the Night Overlord and others.

……

More than a month after the ceasefire, the Exiled Empire reconvened an emergency meeting.

After being welcomed by Nathaniel, Enron also became a participant.

As Nathaniel was summarizing the recent victories of the Exiled Empire, many were secretly watching Anran.

This includes those few mechanics at the Overlord level.

Unlike others, they were not particularly welcoming of Anran's arrival.

The birth of a new Dominator-level Mechanic means that people are now vying for "resources" and "business."

This is not good news for them.

An Ran didn't speak, but simply listened quietly.

Nathaniel extended a sincere invitation to her to join the War Court, but she was still hesitant about whether to accept.

There's a positive side to this: it will reduce many obstacles for both the Mechanicus and her own future development.

However, there is also a downside: once the Chain of Judgment learns of this, it will definitely ask her for information, and An Ran cannot find a reason to refuse for the time being.

"Long live the friendship between the pioneers and the void!"

She was the one who shouted those words.

We can't just contradict ourselves right away.

As An Ran was pondering, Nathaniel on the stage raised his voice: "Therefore, the truce is only temporary. We cannot give our opponents too much time to prepare. What do you all think?"

The people around the round table at the meeting started discussing it.

Occasionally someone would offer their own opinion, but Anran remained uninvolved throughout.

She's a complete outsider, so nobody cares about her opinions anymore.

The two-hour meeting finally came to an end, but this was just the beginning.

Nathaniel's raid plan was approved by the others, and more meetings to refine the plan are scheduled to follow.

Outside the command post, Heda stopped Anran.

Many people are waiting to see what happens, as everyone knows about the conflict between An Ran and Heda.

Many people are now eager to see Heda teach Anran a lesson.

This made her understand that although she had advanced to the Star Domain Ruler level, she was still an insignificant newcomer at this level and had nothing to be proud of.

But Heda's performance surprised them.

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn from other people's experiences to advance to the Dominator level?" Heda said angrily.

He was angry.

But why does that look a bit like flirting?

Is it because we're doing it wrong?

An Ran spread her hands, feigning innocence: "That's right, I advanced to Star Domain Ruler not long after receiving what you gave me."

"Do you think I'd believe you? You've advanced to the Star Domain Ruler level, surely you can make a move without any action?" Heda sneered.

An Ran explained, "I deliberately hid deep in the starry sky. Sigh, if I hadn't been ambushed on the way, I would have liked to hide even longer."

"..."

Heda suddenly felt that what An Ran said might be true.

She did indeed keep it a secret if the people of Eternal Star Path hadn't tried to kill her.

"I have to thank you."

An Ran grasped Heda's hand with gratitude and shook it vigorously.

Pooh.

Heda shook off Anran's hand.

This isn't over between us. Do you think these little tricks will make me forget your sins?

nonexistent!

"I have to go now."

Heda turned and left, ignoring An Ran's reaction.

An Ran waved to Heda, then went straight back to her residence.

The next day, just as Anran was pondering the problem, she suddenly received a game notification.

"You have successfully collected 1 units of faith power and completed the mission [The Mechanical Tomorrow]."

what--

Anran quickly opened the task panel.

The task reward is available for collection.

Besides 100 billion points of free experience, there are three random colored blueprints and a censer of faith.

Since she had nothing better to do, Anran immediately opened all three blueprints.

Obtain the [Century Fortress (Defense Structure)], [Precision Architecture (Computing Center)], and [Time Trap (Placement Space Bomb)].

The first two are not very significant to Enron, but the latter can still play a significant role in interstellar warfare.

The reward that truly satisfied Anran was the [Incense Burner of Faith].

She didn't know what this thing was for before, but after getting her hands on it, she realized that it was a one-time task reminder.

By injecting 1000 units of faith power, one can obtain guidance for any mission.

An Ran didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to use it.

"Received the quest guide for the quest 'The Body of God'."

In the task details section, Anran successfully located the coordinates of the third wandering consciousness.

"Still within the territory of the Exile Empire? That makes things even easier."

After closing the task panel, Anran opened the interstellar network again.

A few days ago, when she checked, she found that she was still short of 500 units of faith power, and it should take another month or two to complete the task.

After skimming through the news from various sources, An Ran finally understood.

"So that's how it is!"

The news of her advancement to Star Domain Ruler reached the Divine Court yesterday evening, causing a huge sensation among the followers of the Cult of the Machine God.

Many mechanics who were initially hesitant about combining mechanics and religion joined the religion without hesitation after learning the news.

What's there to hesitate about now!

To advance to the Star Domain Ruler level so quickly, the Prophet is truly a chosen one of the gods; she must have gained the approval of the God of Myriad Machines!

Under the guidance of the Prophet, these believers will surely be able to enter the mechanical sanctuary and listen to the teachings of the omnipotent god in the realm of the etheric gods.

Furthermore, Christopher seized the opportunity at this time and convened a regular meeting of the Machine Soul Tower, allowing the wave of pilgrimage to spread from Dawn Camp to other star sectors.

The Cult of Machine God is about to expand beyond its original boundaries!

Anran realized this was a golden opportunity.

If she were to step forward now, she could definitely reap more faith power, which would help her make up for her lack of mental attributes, allowing her to hold her own against mental rulers.

"arbiter!"

Anran immediately went to Nathaniel.

Why bother with fighting? The chives at home are ripe; we can't let them go to waste.

After Anran explained carefully, Nathaniel expressed his understanding.

Anyway, the war was a month and a half later.

"But I hope you will seriously consider my proposal; the War Court is a good option."

An Ran nodded: "I understand. After I've dealt with this matter, I will give you, the arbitrator, an answer."

"it is good."

Nathaniel was in a good mood.

After saying goodbye, Anran pulled Ella and Tsycia along and headed back.

"Leaving now?" Tsykya exclaimed in surprise.

"I'll explain everything to you once we're on the ship."

"alright."

Tsykya nodded; she wasn't interested in Sequence Wars anyway.

On the way back, An Ran revealed some things.

"Now is the perfect opportunity to enhance the influence of the Cult of the Machine God. I also happen to know where the third free consciousness is. Once we find it, we can hold a grand divine descent ceremony."

I feel so refreshed!

An Ran smiled as she looked at the stunned Ciqiya.

It's as if all the good things have come at once.

A few days later, An Ran returned to the temporary base. At this time, the ship bombing incident on the technology island also began to ferment, but An Ran did not pay attention to this matter for the time being.

Considering her close relationship with Tsikiya, Anran told Tsikiya about the existence of the Hollow Stone.

"Hey, you wouldn't happen to be that illegitimate daughter of some Wanji God, would you?"

Ciqiya stared at Anran in astonishment.

Even if she were to openly and generously admit it now, she wouldn't lose her composure.
