After the city lord was resurrected, her entire body was transformed into machinery because she used all her strength before she died.

It was precisely because she no longer unleashed her full power in order to preserve her physical body that she was able to leave behind a mechanical body that Zhang Lin could use to revive her after her death.

Having completely transformed into a robot, its human emotions were greatly diminished, even though Zhang Lin could see every detail of its body clearly.

However, the city lord quickly adjusted her mindset. There were clothes in Zhang Lin's spatial ring, and after changing into Zhang Lin's men's clothing, she began to recount her experiences.

Before she began, she asked, "As we all know, in the early stages of the apocalypse, there was a biohazard crisis. Zombies killed more than half of the world's population in the first step. Then came environmental changes, extreme cold and extreme heat. By this time, ninety percent of humanity had died. Then came the new era..."

Everyone already knew what she was saying, but they still listened attentively to her.

"But what you don't know is that the new era is just the beginning. The real danger is Ragnarok!"

"Ragnarok?" Zhang Lin couldn't help but interject, asking, "Let me guess, does it mean that the gods from the six factions also intend to annihilate humanity?"

“Yes!” The city lord nodded. “In one cycle after another, humanity has not been able to survive even a new era most of the time. Therefore, many people are unaware of the existence of Ragnarok.”

She then continued her story.

The six choices Zhang Lin had seen earlier, just as he had expected, represented six different camps.

Or rather, they are six different races.

The current order of these six factions is: Celestials, Energy, Dragons, Humans, Technology, and Underground.

The gods are the true rulers of the world. They reside in the divine realm, and none of them need to work because all resources in the divine realm are unlimited. They can enjoy themselves to the fullest, squander their wealth, and pursue the life they desire.

Moreover, every god possesses immense power, which is innate and unlike humans who need to awaken various extraordinary templates.

The gods did not originally reside in the realm of gods. They defeated the creatures of the other five factions, thus occupying the realm of gods and giving rise to the race of "gods".

The realm of gods was originally occupied by the underground.

No one knows the exact name of the creatures in the "Underground" faction. After being defeated by the gods, they were sent to a barren plane unknown to anyone, where they lived a life worse than hell, never to rise again.

Therefore, the underground faction is ranked last.

Below the gods is the "energy" faction.

However, the originally incredibly powerful energy life forms no longer exist. They were completely wiped out by the gods. The energy life forms' innate ability to control various natural energies now belongs to the gods.

This is also why the Celestial race is born with powerful abilities.

The "Dragon" faction is actually a collective term for various plants and animals. It is also a defeated faction, so they are now fighting against humans under the command of the gods.

This battle didn't begin now; it started the day humanity was born. Before humans mastered technology, survival was extremely difficult in the face of various powerful beasts.

The human faction goes without saying.

The technology faction was also a faction defeated by the gods and had disappeared completely in the past. But one day, humanity, which was almost wiped out by the "dragon" faction, suddenly mastered the power of technology and then completely suppressed the countless plants and animals in the world represented by the "dragon" faction.

It was precisely because humans mastered the power of technology that they completely suppressed the "dragon" faction, which is why the gods could no longer stand by and watch.

They launched a "biological crisis," creating a "world of ice and fire." They ushered in a "new era," aiming to completely exterminate humanity.

Originally, the gods had already succeeded.

The gods first forcibly erased all of humanity's powerful technological creations, and then, under the triple attack of zombies, extreme weather, and supernatural creatures, humanity has become extinct.

It can be said that humanity is also a group that was completely wiped out by the gods.

But perhaps even the heavens couldn't bear to see humanity go extinct, so whenever the last human dies, the world restarts, returning to the state before the gods intervened.

At the same time, some humans will also awaken certain memories...

Thus, in the repeated cycles of reincarnation, occasionally the human side would completely pass through the new era, defeat the "dragon" camp, and win a small victory in the battle against the gods.

But this good fortune won't last long. After the "Dragon" faction is defeated, the gods will take direct action, and humanity's ultimate doomsday, "Ragnarok," will arrive.

The city lord knew all this, but she was in no hurry to tell Zhang Lin about it, fearing that it would put too much pressure on him.

After all, the Celestial Race is a powerful race that can be said to be invincible throughout the world...

Zhang Lin is still too weak.

But the city lord did not expect that in this life, the new era had only just begun, and the Celestial Clan had already made a move against her.

The specific reason is unknown.

Anyway, one day, the city lord was eating in the city lord's mansion when suddenly a golden god appeared and easily killed her.

Helpless, she could only forcibly retain a part of her mechanical body, hoping that Zhang Lin could revive her.

Fortunately, Zhang Lin did indeed revive her, and thus, he was able to learn these secrets.

"I have a question. In your description, the Celestial Race is incredibly powerful. Why don't they just wipe out humanity? That would be an easy task for them, wouldn't it?"

Zhang Lin had some doubts, so he immediately raised them.

"This... I don't know either." The city lord said with a wry smile, "I can confirm that the gods who came to kill me were the weakest among the gods. They do have the ability to easily annihilate us."

"Let me tell you," Wangcai said. "You may not know what the divine realm is like. Let me give you an example. Imagine you live in a manor, served by countless beautiful women. Whatever you want to eat, a chef will bring it to you. Whatever you want to do, your wishes will be fulfilled. But then, a group of ants are searching for food under the scorching sun outside your door. They are making some noise and disturbing you. What would you do then?"

"Send the security guards in the manor to crush these ants?" Zhang Lin understood a little.

Wangcai chuckled and said, "That's exactly what the gods think, especially among the ants. Some ants are particularly strong and might kill some of the weaker gods. Do you think they would take action themselves unless these ants defeat the security guards and truly threaten the gods?"
