It's finished!!
Standing on the banks of the River Styx, the little robot's senses grew stronger.
Contrary to his expectations, what he sensed was not the tall stone monument on the magnificent island in the middle of the river.
Instead, it was in the dark water beneath the stone tablet.
The little robot stood on the riverbank, carefully observing the ghosts heading towards the Reincarnation Monument. It didn't find any of them going down into the river.
So, what exactly is it that I'm sensing?
But whatever it is, since we're already here, let's take a look.
With that thought in mind, the little robot plunged into the River Styx with a splash.
The sound of the water entering the water startled the ghosts queuing up for reincarnation nearby.
As the little robot descended into the river, it could hear the ghosts chattering above:
"My god, which ghost was so stupid as to jump into the River Styx?"
"That's really risking your life. It doesn't seem to have floated up yet, does it? It's probably already turned into the River Styx."
"You're saying he's already in line on the road to reincarnation, why would he jump? If he didn't want to be reincarnated and go back to the ghost town, he could have just done that. I just don't understand."
"Hey, it's probably the kind that's having a really tough time in both the human and ghost realms. Let it dissolve, maybe it'll just regenerate into a human form a thousand years later and its fate will be completely better."
"There are always ghosts who want to use the waters of the River Styx to change their fate, but very few succeed."
"Alright, alright, stop dawdling and hurry up and move forward."
.
The bottom of the River Styx is not deserted.
The little robot sank to the bottom with some effort. Although the voices of the ghosts above could no longer be heard, it did not mean that the place was empty.
Oh, to be precise, there wasn't a single ghost in sight.
The River Styx appears pitch black on the outside, but its bottom is clear and glows with a faint blue light. Even the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river emit a faint blue luster and sway gently with the ripples, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Even more dreamlike are the shimmering bubbles floating in the water.
These bubbles vary in size, from about the size of a fist to as tall as half a person. Within these bubbles, various creatures, including humans, are vaguely visible curled up.
However, the creatures inside the bubble were clearly not fully formed yet, and were somewhat ethereal. Those with a weak heart might be frightened by this situation.
However, the little robot is clearly not one of those who are cowardly.
He even had the time to study the uses of these bubbles.
Seeing this scene, he inexplicably thought of a word related to humanity—Mother River.
Perhaps this word is the most fitting description for the River Styx.
While keeping watch, the little robot made its way to its destination without being hindered in the slightest.
Soon, he saw a large dark shadow in front of him.
It is the supporting part of the riverbed of the small island where the Reincarnation Monument exists.
The little robot took a few quick steps, making the scene in front of it clearer.
Unexpectedly, there is a Reincarnation Stele on the surface of the River Styx, and there is also an identical Reincarnation Stele at the bottom of the River Styx!
When the little robot saw the monument in front of it, it unconsciously reached out and touched it.
The moment the palm touched the Reincarnation Monument, a distant, ethereal voice echoed in the little robot's mind: "You've come..."
The little robot keenly sensed that these words were spoken to it.
So, are those mysterious feelings I have from time to time something that this being specifically guided me to?
Thinking this, the little robot did not feel fear.
He also asked himself, "Who are you?"
"Me? You can call me the Heavenly Dao, the World Consciousness, the Law, whatever you like," the voice said.
The little robot was finally surprised.
.
When they left the Ghost Realm, a Reincarnation Monument had been added to the little robot's little world.
He did not leave from the Ascension Platform, but was directly sent out of the Ghost Realm by the Heavenly Dao.
At the Reincarnation Monument, the little robot had a detailed conversation with the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao knew the little robot's origins and was very tolerant of him, not rejecting him, and patiently explained to him some things about the Heavenly Dao and its laws.
The little robot naturally asked why.
The will of Heaven is not something that cannot be spoken of; rather, it openly tells him, "Because you will also be one of us."
From that moment on, the little robot's confusion completely vanished.
He had his own goals and mission.
The journey through different worlds added something to his soul with each one, and this world, with its extremely high potential, was enough for him to completely integrate with his body and awaken the laws.
At the same time, the cultivation world has many magical things that can help the little robot's small world upgrade quickly and become a truly independent small world.
Of course, if the little robot wants to completely transform into a powerful being like the Heavenly Dao of this world, and turn its small world into a complete world like the world of cultivation with a very high level ceiling, it still has a long way to go.
But the little robot wasn't in a hurry.
Take your time.
Now that he has obtained the Reincarnation Stele that Heaven specially separated and gave him, the little robot's little world, after completely absorbing and merging with the Reincarnation Stele, is able to have the function of independent reincarnation.
There's no need to worry about the chaotic life-and-death situation inside, nor is there any saturation.
Not long after leaving the Ghost Realm, the rock dragons moved into the little robot's little world.
Now, the problem of mineral resources has also been solved.
Ugh... There are still weather issues, ocean circulation problems, and so on. There are so many things to worry about!
As the little robot pondered its next move, it sent a letter to the Weapon Refining Mountain and began its journey across every corner of the cultivation continent in search of...
Throughout the cultivation world, more and more legends about this extraordinary genius are emerging...jsg
A thousand years later, someone finally shattered the void once again.
Rumor has it that he became a god before the void was shattered!

Wasteland World: Side Story
The little robot stepped out of the void and immediately smelled the long-lost smell of fuel.
Hmm, it seems like the new world is a technological world? Could it be that I've been located back home this time?
The little robot looked around and then dismissed the idea.
After all, in his memory, his hometown was so technologically advanced and had such a high utilization rate of waste disposal that it was definitely not like it is now, with piles of garbage almost forming mountains of trash.
Yes, right now, the little robot is surrounded by trash everywhere, some of it towering into the clouds, making it no exaggeration to call it a veritable mountain of trash.
A little searching reveals that the technological level of this world is not bad.
Among the trash were fragments of technological products; even the little robot spotted a robotic arm crushed under the trash can.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be the mechanical arm of some type of mecha.
The little robot used a little force to remove the robotic arm.
The arm is in pretty good condition, except the break looks like it's been corroded. But with some repairs, it should still be usable. The weapons mounted on the forearm are all intact, and they still have about half a bar of energy left.
I don't know what happened, that they would leave something like this here.
The little robot accepted everything without hesitation, and with a wave of its hand, it collected all the surrounding garbage mountains into its own little world.
The little robot's world has now become a complete world, with a well-managed ecosystem and cycle, although the population is small, with only a few tribes developed.
The trash collected by the little robot will be placed in the "Origin Land" that he has planned. In this place, besides the trash, there are the little robot's own things and a creature that he has named the Tong Bird.
The little robot is the best helper for garbage sorting.
They are incredibly strong and fast, and can help him distribute the sorted garbage to suitable places throughout the small world.
In those human tribes of the small world, the bird-like creature has another name: "messenger of the gods."
The little robot collected trash as it walked towards the direction where there were humans.
One of his purposes in coming to the New World was to find some humans who could be placed in his own little world.
But now, he obviously doesn't mind bringing some more technology back with him.
The little robot is not limited to one side in the development of its own little world, and it has gradually formed a new situation that combines magic, cultivation and technology.
While moving the trash, the little robot also gained information about the new world from the trash.
One day, this planet was suddenly shrouded in a fog of corrosion, turning the entire world into ruins. Metal products were particularly vulnerable to corrosion, and even most of humanity perished in the fog.
The stench of blood in the air was so strong that it was impossible to dissipate.
This kind of weather lasted for a full six months.
For the past six months, people have been confined to their homes. Countless people have starved to death.
Six months later, the thick fog dissipated, and humanity wept and cheered.
However, the good times didn't last long. Six months later, the corrosive fog returned.
Fortunately, due to the previous tragedy, many people were still shaken and dug tunnels to store food in the past six months. Even the government started construction on many underground bases.
These actions were clearly very wise.
This meant that when the second six-month fog struck, the human losses were not as severe.
Later, humans figured out the pattern: the fog of corrosion would come once every six months, rest for half a year, and then come again.
Under such circumstances, the focus of human life shifted underground.
However, problems arose as well. There was clearly not enough of various resources, and the crops planted were certainly gone. The ground was not getting enough sunlight, and the grain yield was greatly reduced. It would definitely take a while to develop a corresponding grain variety.
Moreover, because people were initially focused on saving human lives and neglected animals, meat resources have also declined significantly.
However, not all the animals perished. Some survived in the dense fog, though they had clearly mutated. It's uncertain whether their flesh is still edible, but their attack power has increased dramatically.
However, how can one survive underground without supplies?
Therefore, all of humanity on the planet is living in great difficulty.
After discovering this, the little robot had an idea.
So, on this day, the residents of the Puyu West No. 3 underground base were numbly queuing up to receive their daily food rations—a compressed biscuit and a portion of synthetic meat—when they suddenly heard the base's broadcast system go off.
"Hello...hello...can you hear me?..."
It was a young voice I'd never heard before.
After testing the microphone, the voice finally got down to business: "Hello everyone, my name is Najitong, and I come from another planet. Are there any humans willing to come with me on this spaceship to live in a new world? There is plenty of food and all kinds of supplies there, and there is no corrosive substance."
“I’m right at the base entrance. Whether you want to or not, you can come and get a free meal and trade supplies with me.”
"Okay, that's all I have to say. I apologize for using the base's broadcast channel temporarily. If any humans are interested, please come find me at the base entrance. Thank you."
At that moment, the humans in the underground base seemed to hear celestial scripture.
However, this also marks the beginning of a new life for humanity in this world.
