Although Lin Tianming did not regret killing the three members of the Mechanical Cult at all, he still asked Alice what she thought.

Alice shook her head. "It's okay. Many members of the Mechanicus are used to bullying ordinary people. They think everyone is a soft persimmon. When they draw their swords and swing at you, you should be prepared to be killed in return."

After a pause, she added, "Wait a minute, I'll contact the servants and have them deal with the situation here."

After saying that, Alice took out her cell phone to contact her people.

After briefly explaining the situation here and asking the person on the other end of the phone to send someone as soon as possible, Alice put away the phone.

"Okay, let's go back, Ming, let the people who will arrive later take care of this!"

Seeing that Alice had done it so easily, Lin Tianming nodded slightly and went back with her.

On the rest of the journey, Lin Tianming and Alice did not encounter any bad incidents that would damage the image of the Beiyin Territory.

During this time, Alice wanted to say something several times, but when she thought about how she had been interrupted twice in a row by people from the Gene Sect and the Mechanical Sect, she swallowed the words back.

She didn't know what to say now to make her Beiyin Territory's image more positive in front of Lin Tianming.

Lin Tianming learned the reason why she remained silent all the way through her inner voice.

Back at the competition venue, Lin Tianming took the initiative to break the silence.

"Alice, thank you for taking me out today. This is much more interesting than wandering around alone!"

Hearing Lin Tianming's words, Alice's unhappy face suddenly brightened up: "Really...really?"

"Of course it's true. Being with you today has allowed me to see that the Northern Yin Territory also has a beautiful side."

Alice's pretty face turned slightly red and she felt a little embarrassed to receive such high praise from Lin Tianming.

[We just had some unpleasant experiences, but... he still speaks so highly of me...]

[I... am I really able to make him feel good? ]

Just as Alice was daydreaming, Lin Tianming's next words made her blushing face nervous again.

"But beneath the seemingly beautiful side of the Northern Yin Territory, there are still many unstable factors lurking, Alice."

Listening to Lin Tianming's not-so-good evaluation of the entire Beiyin Region, Alice pursed her lips. She was in a very low mood at the moment.

[In my previous life, I personally witnessed the Northern Yin Region falling apart, until it became the first region to be destroyed in the Age of the Gods’ Advent... Of course I know this...]

[It’s a pity that even if I were to live my life again... there are some things that I cannot decide now...]

[I committed too many sins when I was the world's hegemon. Perhaps this is the fate of the Northern Yin Territory...]

Lin Tianming also heard Alice's thoughts.

At this moment, he couldn't think of any good way to comfort it.

He could only put his hands on her shoulders and said, "But I believe you, Alice. If the Northern Yin Territory is really useless, there won't be a beautiful person like you. And the local people from the Northern Yin Territory I met on Saint Ann Avenue today also gave me a very friendly and kind feeling.

No matter what happens in the future, I hope you won't regret everything you have done. Protect the Beiyin Realm in your heart!"

"bright……"

Alice was deeply moved by Lin Tianming's words and stared at his eyes in a daze.

[Ming in this life... is really different from the one in the previous life...]

[First, he shared half of the opportunity with me in the Mechanical Secret Realm, and then, after witnessing the ugly and dirty side of the Northern Yin Realm, he comforted me like this... I really like him in this life...]

[Like...like? Why...why do I like him again? 】

As if she had thought of something, Alice, who had been too close to Lin Tianming recently, subconsciously took a step back.

"Even if...even if you are so good to me...I...I...I will still fight for my Beiyin Territory in the competition...If I meet you...I will never show you mercy!"

Actually, this is quite good.

Avoid falling in love with him like Senior Sister Yanran did, and keep this distance, so that he can have less trouble.

Thinking of his senior sister Yanran, Lin Tianming felt a headache and didn't know how to deal with her passionate feelings.

Now is not the time to think about Senior Sister Yanran. Lin Tianming quickly put aside the thoughts related to her and looked at Alice with a smile.

"Alice, I'll wait and do my best in the competition. I hope it will be a thrilling and exciting duel!

But the game is a game and it cannot affect our relationship off the court."

"Anyway...anyway...from now on you and I have to keep our distance...I...I...I'm going back first!"

After hesitating for a long time, Alice was afraid that staying too long would affect her, so she immediately ran towards the North Yin Realm rest area.

[I want to ascend mechanically...how...how can I be emotional? 】

[Wouldn't this be the same as in the previous life...having a demon in my heart because of emotional issues? ]

[No... Mechanical Ascension is what I pursue! ]

Lin Tianming also understood Alice's thoughts as she ran away in panic.

Looking at her back, which was like a doe that was panicking when encountering a lion on the grassland, Lin Tianming had a faint smile on his face the whole time.

When Alice disappeared from his sight, Lin Tianming carefully recalled what she had just said and shook his head with some regret.

"It's a pity that such a lively and sunny silver-haired elf-like beautiful girl turned into a cold machine!"

To be honest, Lin Tianming really doesn't want Alice to take the path of mechanical ascension.

But since this is Alice's choice, he will not stop her.

The horrifying truth at the end of the mechanical ascension flashed through his mind, and Lin Tianming took out the only remaining quarter of the Mother of Destiny's face.

After following him for so long, this quarter of his face still feels no different from real human skin.

And even if only a quarter of her face remained, the beauty of the Mother of Destiny could still be felt from this quarter of her face.

This is the result of the Mechanical Kingdom’s supreme mechanical ascension technology.

It’s a pity that after reaching this point, we are still heading towards annihilation?

"Alice, the truth at the end of this mechanical ascension path...can you bear it?"

This sentence is asking both Alice and himself.

There was still a faint glimmer of hope in the emotional resonance of one-quarter of the Mother of Destiny's face.

This was the last glimmer of hope he brought to the Mother of Destiny based on the promise he made to her in the Mechanical Supreme Hall.

Thinking of this, his eyes, which resonated with the emotions of one quarter of the Mother of Destiny's face, became extremely firm again.

If he could see real mechanical ascension...

In the future, not only will Alice not die at the end of mechanical ascension, but even the quarter of the face of the Mother of Destiny that remains because of his promise may be completely resurrected.

Whether it was for Alice or for the promise made to the Mother of Destiny...

Or maybe it was to prevent himself from being destroyed by rust and corrosion...

He must see the real mechanical ascension!
