Please be my partner.

Looking up, the mechanical fortress was still paralyzed, and the battle among the saints outside the mechanical fortress was still as fierce.

Mellen's lips curled up slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Prisoner's dilemma? Ridiculous! Let me help you make the choice!"

The golden light surged and hit the nodes of the huge circular machine. After a few minutes, it exploded and Melen stepped into it.

The huge circular machine is a circle with a diameter of ten thousand meters. Inside it are countless energy-formed pipes. These pipes are flashing with light. Some are used to transmit information, and some are used to transport energy. As a whole, they form a cage.

At the center of the cage is a metal head that is five hundred meters tall.

Mellen raised his brows slightly. He vaguely felt that this metal head was not as simple as an ordinary saint.

After careful recollection, Melen suddenly realized that when introducing the mission target, both Bai Xi and Lucas only stated their identity as "mechanical elders" and did not mention their strength.

Mellen didn't think any more. A golden light flashed across, cutting off all the pipes. At the same time, he used the power of the concept of 'world' to create a small space and put the metal head in it.

Melen doesn't want to let these unstable things enter his fairy tale kingdom at will.

After doing all this, Mellen broke out of the mechanical fortress without hesitation.

Chapter 410 Mission Completed and Unexpected Guidance of Fate

Mellen's movements were naturally sensed by the other parties. His battle with the Mechanical Saint did not last long. The outcome and life and death were decided in almost an instant. The speed was so fast that no one else had time to react.

When Mellen began to break out, the entire mechanical fortress continued to vibrate slightly, as if it was trying to revive from paralysis.

Melen's eyes were cold, and the white jade bracelet on his wrist emitted a faint fluorescence.

If Gui chooses to stand on the side of the Temple of Divine Machinery and stops suppressing the Mechanical Fortress, and wants to use the power of the Mechanical Fortress to trap Mellen to death, then Mellen will definitely use his trump card without hesitation to directly dismantle the Mechanical Fortress!

With Melen's current strength, although mastering the Crescent Moon Semi-Artifact will still attract covetousness, it is definitely not a problem of being exposed to the light. Therefore, if the time comes when he really needs to be exposed, Melen will not hesitate.

Even more crazy thoughts were rising in Mellen's mind...

He even hoped that the mechanical fortress would be able to recover from its paralysis, so that he could destroy it "openly" and take it away.

Didn’t you see that Garuru was so happy just because he picked up some odds and ends?

If the entire mechanical fortress were really taken away and turned into supplies, there's no telling how happy the mechanical dog would be.

Of course, impulse is the devil.

Melen still firmly suppressed the idea of causing trouble. After all, although they were both against each other, completing the rescue mission and looting the entire mechanical fortress would attract completely different levels of hostility from the Temple of Divine Machinery.

If possible, Melen did not want to put himself on the kill list of the force headed by a demigod.

Fortunately, the worst result did not happen. When Melen successfully broke through the blockade and left the mechanical fortress, the mechanical fortress was unable to recover from its paralysis.

Melen took out a crystal ball and crushed it directly. This was the communicator Bai Xi gave him. As long as he crushed it, he would receive the signal and know that the mission was over and someone would come to pick them up.

At this moment, Bolin came roaring in. He laughed heartily and said, "Mellen, you are really amazing. You completed the task so quickly."

Bolin appeared extremely happy, without any sign of abnormality.

Immediately afterwards, bits of light quickly gathered around them, gradually condensing into Gu Yi's body.

Gui Yi said gently, "Let's leave here first. Without my suppression, the mechanical fortress can only be paralyzed for another ten seconds at most."

The three did not speak any more and quickly moved away from the attack range of the mechanical fortress.

Perhaps realizing that it was impossible to do anything, the Mechanical Saint in the Mechanical Fortress did not continue the pursuit.

They fled at high speed for a distance, and only slowed down slightly after making sure that the mechanical fortress could not attack them directly.

While briefly exchanging information about their respective tasks, they rushed to the preset location.

During this process, none of the three mentioned being recruited by the Holy Temple of Divine Machinery, as if nothing had happened.

Three days later, Melen and his team stopped at the edge of the void and waited for half a day. A space ripple appeared in the void and a spaceship came through it.

The spaceship was largely intact, but one could vaguely see many scars and traces of repair on it, as if it had just experienced a fierce battle.

Bai Xi flew out of the spaceship and first confirmed his identity with Melen and the others before inviting them on board the spaceship.

In the spaceship conference room, as soon as everyone sat down, Bai Xi couldn't wait to ask, "Three of you, I wonder how this mission went?"

Gui and Bolin both turned their eyes to Mellen. Mellen did not keep the secret and directly took out the space ball containing the head of the mechanical elder and handed it to Bai Xi.

Bai Xi was stunned, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses from his excitement. It was no wonder that he was like this. Firstly, this rescue mission was a great sacrifice for the Sas Holy Clan, and they had to pay a lot of extra costs; secondly, the perfect completion of this mission was the first time in the past few hundred years that the Sas Holy Clan had gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the Divine Machine Temple.

The former is actually okay, but the latter is more important.

Bai Xi shouted repeatedly, "Great, great! That's great! The Sas Saints will always remember your help!"

Melen suddenly asked: "Elder Bai Xi, the strength of this mechanical elder should not be simple, right?"

Bai Xi's expression froze. After a moment's silence, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide anything from you three. Elder Norton is one of the three elders of the Sas Saint Clan, second only to the leader. He is also the one with the greatest potential to be promoted to a demigod leader."

Mellen's pupils shrank slightly. For the Sas Saint Clan, 'leader' refers to a powerful demigod. The demigod elder named Norton whom they rescued was actually the most promising one in the Sas Saint Clan to be promoted to a demigod. It was no wonder that the Sas Saint Clan was willing to pay such a huge price for the rescue.

According to the information that Melen pieced together, the only remaining demigod leader of the Sas Saint Clan was seriously injured and is now recuperating in a deep sleep. This is also the fundamental reason why the Sas Saint Clan is restricted in every way.

If Elder Norton could achieve demigodhood, the situation of the Sas Saint Clan would not be reversed immediately, but it would certainly be much better than it is now.

After resolving the doubts in his mind, Melen did not blame the Sas Saint Clan, nor did he think of raising the price. After all, although they were the executors of the mission, it was the Sas Saint Clan who really paid the huge price. Melen felt that the gains this time were already enough.

After a few more pleasantries, Bolin said, "When will we be paid for our mission?"

Bai Xi smiled and said, "I've prepared it for you a long time ago. Come with me."

Under Bai Xi's leadership, Melen and his team came to the spaceship's warehouse.

In front of the first warehouse, Bai Xi said to Melen and Guiyi to wait a moment, and then took Bolin in.

Although he was a little curious, Melen had no intention of snooping.

After a while, the two came out. Bolin seemed quite satisfied and said, "Okay, mission accomplished. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."

Then he said to Melen and Gui: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. If there is a chance in the future, why not go on an adventure together."

Melen and Gui nodded with a smile. They had exchanged each other's contact information while they were on the road.

The second warehouse was where Gui's things were stored, so Melen was waiting outside as usual.

After receiving the reward, Gui Yi also said goodbye and left.

Finally, Bai Xi brought Mellen into the third warehouse and said, "Mr. Mellen, I want to thank you. I know that it was mainly because of you that the Sas Saint Clan was able to rescue Elder Norton."

Mellen waved his hand and said, "Be loyal to the person who entrusted you with the task."

Bai Xi said seriously, "Even so, we are still grateful. In addition to what we promised you before, if Mr. Mellen has anything to ask for in the future, we, the Sas Saint Clan, will do our best to help."

Melen's heart moved. Although he knew that Bai Xi's words were also a way to win him over to a certain extent, he did not continue to refuse.

Soon they entered the depths of the warehouse. It was very empty here, with only one object, a metal ball with a diameter of about ten meters.

Mellen could vaguely sense a breath similar to Garuru's on this metal ball, and suddenly realized that this should be the intelligent mechanical corpse that the Sass Saints promised to give him, which evolved into a [Mechanical Megastructure].

Bai Xi looked at the metal ball and said with some emotion, "Elder Wusheng evolved into a [Mechanical Megastructure] by chance. He was also a famous genius of our clan. If he hadn't died, he might have become a veteran by now, and even promoted to a leader. What a pity..."

Bai Xi took out a memory crystal and handed it to Mellen, saying, "This is Elder Wusheng's research and experimental data on the evolution of the [Mechanical Megastructure]. Although Elder Wusheng didn't achieve complete success, he did make good progress."

Bai Xi shook his head with some regret and said, "The [Mechanical Megastructure] is indeed great, but unfortunately, the risks involved in evolving into it are too great. If it were the heyday of the Sas Saint Clan, they would never have given up on this research. Unfortunately, the Sas Saint Clan can no longer afford any meaningless losses. So after several outstanding members of the clan failed to evolve, the elders halted the related research and temporarily sealed the data."

Melen took the memory crystal and used his mental power to probe into it and read it roughly.

The various experimental data and research materials are quite detailed, even including the intention and argument of each experiment. It can be seen that this is a research plan that spans at least hundreds of years.

Of course, most of the information and data are useless to Mellen, after all, he is cheating.

When he saw the key point, Mellen was slightly shocked and said to himself: "So, this is what is needed, a low-dimensional core?"

The so-called low-dimensional core does not refer to dimensional matter or dimensional treasures, but the real core center of the low-dimensional world.

Low dimensions and high dimensions are different.

Although the higher-dimensional world is vast, endless and ever-changing, it is generally believed that there is only one higher-dimensional world.

But the low-dimensional world is different. The low-dimensional world is composed of many illusory levels, and the number is almost endless.

According to the research of the immortal elders of the Sas Saint Clan, the next perfect evolution of the [Mechanical Megastructure] needs to possess both high-dimensional and low-dimensional power. However, the specific conditions and what form it will evolve into are still under study by the immortal elders. They have only come to a vague conclusion that both high-dimensional knowledge and low-dimensional cores are indispensable.

Bai Xi did not interrupt Mellen when he fell into deep thought. When he came to his senses, Bai Xi continued, "You can choose one of the five pieces of high-dimensional knowledge that our Sas Saint Clan currently possesses."

Five virtual spheres of light appeared in front of Bai Xi, each containing a piece of high-dimensional knowledge. He continued, "However, if your goal is to evolve the [Mechanical Megastructure], I suggest you choose this."

Looking at the virtual light ball that Bai Xi pointed at, Melen touched it at Bai Xi's suggestion. Suddenly, the basic information of this high-dimensional knowledge appeared in Melen's eyes...

High-dimensional shield: Build and assemble a shield generator in a high-dimensional world, and project the power of the shield to protect yourself when needed.

The high-maintenance shield can be as low as Saint level and as high as Demigod level, depending on the material it is made of.

Honestly, if that were all, this high-dimensional knowledge would be nothing more than a useless waste. The materials and costs required to create something in a high-dimensional world are unimaginable. Spending so much just to get a portable shield that can be summoned anytime, anywhere?!

of course not!

The high-maintenance shield also has a miraculous feature, which is "dimensional jump"!

In the high-dimensional world, the high-level protection shield can only exert its original power. In other words, if you create a saint-level shield, it will only have saint-level protection.

However, this saint-level protective projection is equivalent to dimensionality reduction in the real world. Of course, the shield projection will not turn into disordered energy, but will be upgraded to a higher level after a 'dimensional jump'!

In other words, if Mellen creates a saint-level high-maintenance shield in the high-dimensional world, the shield projection summoned in the real world can reach the demigod level!

More importantly, the low-dimensional world is one dimension lower than the real world. When you are in the low-dimensional world, the power of shield projection will be raised to a higher level again, reaching the mythical level!

You know, the low-dimensional world is notoriously strange and bizarre. The probability of a low-dimensional life being an ant yesterday and becoming a myth today is small, but it is definitely not zero.

If you can have a mythical-level shield to protect you at any time and anywhere, then your safety will undoubtedly be greatly guaranteed when exploring the low-dimensional world.

This is also the fundamental reason why Bai Xi said that this high-dimensional knowledge is suitable for Melen. After all, if Melen wants to evolve the [Mechanical Megastructure], he needs to use a low-dimensional core. It is too difficult to obtain such an extremely precious treasure through acquisition. In the end, he will most likely have to go to the low-dimensional world in person to explore and collect it.

In this case, with the high-dimensional knowledge of the high-maintenance shield, even if only a saint-level version is created, it is enough to ensure Mellen's safety in the low-dimensional world.

Not to mention the mythical level protection in the low-dimensional world, the demigod level protection in the real world alone is enough to make Melen excited, not to mention that the high-maintenance shield can be upgraded to the demigod level, which means having mythical level protection in reality.

When Melen first came into this world, he had a dream, which was to travel to a farther place to see if the scenery there was more splendid and wonderful (you should still remember it, right??(ˊωˋ*)??!).

The low-dimensional world, the high-dimensional world, the endless void, the bottomless abyss, and even the entire starry universe, and even the universe of all beasts outside!

These are Mellen’s goals!

Melen smiled and said, "This is indeed the best choice for me, so I'll choose it..."

Just when Mellen was about to make a decision, he suddenly felt a throbbing from the soul. The power of destiny that he was born with, but sometimes worked and sometimes didn't... seemed to give him some guidance at this moment.

Mellen almost subconsciously looked at the other high-dimensional knowledge, and a vague idea arose in his mind...

It is very important!

Chapter 411 [Dimensional Wolf] and [Infinite Wolf]

'Fate, do you think I will let you control me?!'

Mellen's expression was calm, but he had to admit...

"Destiny, you are so accurate in judging people."

To be honest, Melen actually wanted to try not accepting the guidance of fate and see what would happen.

But what can we do? When people are poor, they have low aspirations.

Mellen could clearly feel that if he missed this opportunity, he would lose an extremely important and critical opportunity for him.

With Mellen's current strength, he cannot afford this level of loss.

Therefore, it is better to wait until you become "rich" before tempting fate.

After pondering for a moment, Melen said, "I want to see other high-dimensional knowledge."

Bai Xi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Melen to suddenly change his mind, but it didn't matter, so he made a gesture of invitation.

Mellen didn't hesitate. He went straight to the high-dimensional knowledge that touched his destiny. He touched it lightly, and immediately the basic information flooded into his mind...

Dimensional upgrade: Construct a high-dimensional power shell so that life below the level of demigod in the real world can move freely in the high-dimensional world.

This high-dimensional knowledge stunned Mellen, as it was actually an ability that was opposite to the "dimensionality reduction" he had once obtained.

As we all know, when low-dimensional life forms enter a higher-dimensional world, they will find it difficult to move forward due to the deviation of the dimension. Even saints can only rely on the power of rules to barely survive in the high-dimensional world, but the strength they can exert is only one hundredth of what it used to be. Only when they truly become demigods and possess some mythological characteristics can they ignore the dimensional deviation and explore the high-dimensional world freely.

After possessing the high-dimensional knowledge of "upgrading dimensions", one can use high-dimensional power to create a shell so that life forms below the demigod level can act normally in the high-dimensional world, just like the native life forms in the high-dimensional world.

In essence, "upgrading dimensions" is equivalent to adding a disguise to life in the real world.

Mellen didn't know what impact this high-dimensional knowledge of "upgrading" would have on his future, but since fate had already given him guidance, he had no reason to give up.
