You abandoned the storyline you had just made up.
"Because the control systems are inherently short-lived, after their natal mechs were destroyed in that betrayal battle by my counterattack, they no longer had the chance to advance to the fifth realm, so they all died of old age long ago."
"It was a mess, far less exciting and full of twists and turns than people had imagined."
[Xu Yan's imagined scenarios do indeed match up with many plot points. For example, the relationship between you and those mech warriors in the airspace is not much different from that of a disciple and master.]
"Then why didn't those people come to pay their respects to the boss before?" Xu Wen couldn't understand. The Mech King... just thinking that such beings were his subordinates made him feel like his status had risen.
"Because they're nervous around their teacher! Before the misunderstanding was cleared up, they didn't know how to explain!" Xu Yan analyzed the psychology of your non-existent disciples.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." You feel exhausted.
In 2896, you frequently raided Abyss dungeons and also indulged in various forms of entertainment in virtual spaces.
[In 2897, a "Battle for Supremacy among Machines" was held in the airspace. You piloted your Four Realms Innate Divine Machine - Cloud Beginning Celestial Venerable, participating in the chaotic battle across the vast sea.]
The sea surged into a vast expanse of water tens of thousands of feet high, and more than two thousand fourth-realm mechs slammed down from the sky onto the ground.
[The magma spewed forth, boiling in the sea, and the rising steam was enough to bring months of torrential rain to a planet in a lower-dimensional universe, submerging it and turning it into a water planet.]
The gale-force winds were shattered, each gust capable of unleashing a storm spanning hundreds of miles, while leaks in the lightning-laden sea above released trillions of seafood floating on the surface.
Every now and then, a phantom sun would fall, its flames scorching the world, making it impossible for anyone tens of thousands of kilometers away to look directly at it; to look at it would result in blindness.
Ultimately, you successfully earned the title of "Supreme Machine".
It's not that all the mecha masters present know your true identity; only the Mecha King and a small number of Mecha Masters know it.
[Instead, you are truly invincible. You can max out the resonance of Divine Machine at the sixth stage of the fourth realm by relying on your high essence, and you don't have to worry about the high consumption brought by full resonance.]
"Back in school, there was a 'Computer King Competition' involving pilots from all three realms, but I didn't bother because the winner would receive the title of 'Computer King,'" you thought to yourself.
In 2899, you advanced to the peak of the Fourth Realm.
[Not very strong, his true strength is only around 100 Thorns. However, your divine machine "Cloud Beginning Heavenly Venerable" is equivalent to 60 times the peak of the Fourth Realm, which is one-tenth of a Thorn.]
[The mech kings in the airspace have merged with the divine mechs; after their advancement, most of them have a multiplier of over 30 times, and one person can easily conquer the Azure Domain without the Xuanwu...]
[Many Mech Warriors have progressed quite a distance on the Path to the Fifth Realm, possessing a Thorn Power of sixty or seventy, with the strongest even reaching one hundred and forty. After your several stat allocations, they're almost at two hundred!]
They are human-machine integrated; you add points to the human body, and the mech also becomes stronger!
"It's time for a grand breakthrough!"
You have entered the Abyss Zone.
[Even the weakest mech in your lineup possesses nearly half the power of a fifth-realm cultivator, making you virtually invincible below the fifth realm. So go ahead and unleash your full power, charge ahead recklessly.]
[You've provoked a swarm of ancient blind lizards. Each one is over 100 kilometers long, and adults possess the strength of a supreme being. When hundreds of ancient blind lizards charge at you, it's like a mountain range chasing and biting you.]
The Lord of the Blind Lizards alone is 600 kilometers long and its strength is comparable to half of the Thorn Demon King!
It led its entire pack in pursuit of you, the shockwaves reverberating for billions of miles!
[You've offended the giant leech of the underground dark sea again. It's a leech that's thirty kilometers long. Although it's not as huge as the ancient blind lizard, its strength is equivalent to that of the Three-Spined One!]
It is the lord of the Dark Sea, the unborn king of the sealed Earth Sea, the lord of the forbidden zone in the Abyss Zone. Its life form is unique, and it has devoured countless lives over tens of thousands of years.
[Yet you provoked it, and its massive body smashed through the outermost layer of rock walls enveloping the dark sea, still managing to travel millions of miles in a single leap even in waterless terrain, displaying strength akin to that of a god or demon.]
[There's also the Stone Demon clan. They were originally allies of the Sky Domain people. When they saw you being hunted, they claimed to come to your aid but instead attacked you. You discovered their undercover identities and killed them. Then, claiming "this human attacked an ally," they broke away from the Sky Domain and began hunting you down as a whole.]
Of course, there's another reason they're hunting you down: they know your age, they know your talent, and they understand that if they wait for you to grow any further, the Abyss will inevitably lose, so they're seizing the opportunity to strike.
"Just like when the Tenth Elder became a Venerable, the original timeline would not have seen a war, but the emergence of a super genius made the enemy restless and triggered a great war."
The Stone Demon Clan's move is like a signal, prompting the True Kings of other Abyss races to also take action to eliminate you.
[...The mech king of the airspace was the last to learn that you were being hunted down.]
[The four-armed true king, possessing the power of thirty thorns, unleashed his attack, his four palms blasting out in unison, exploding through the complex rock formations stretching for tens of thousands of miles ahead, revealing you tumbling within them.]
The seventy-thorned patriarch of the Horned Mountain Clan roared forward, and within a radius of a million miles, all living beings below the fourth realm were killed by the spreading shockwave.
As you crossed a flat plain, thirty thousand pale white fangs shot out, and a gigantic maw, large enough to swallow a star, burst forth from the ground. You narrowly escaped before the maw closed.
The pursuit is intensifying, and you'll have to use some of your own power, otherwise you really won't be able to withstand the pursuit of those True Kings above the Ten Thorns level.
Once such power is unleashed, in their eyes it naturally becomes—this person has already been crowned king!
"We can't let him grow any stronger. According to our intelligence, he only broke through to the fourth realm a few years ago during that war!"
"To be crowned a king at such a young age, in another hundred years... no, in another few decades, the Abyss Zone will lose its home!"
"The Abyss has suffered in the Void Domain for far too long! Do you really intend to let those humans on the surface occupy our Abyss?"
[Some True Kings, realizing they couldn't defeat you quickly and fearing the Mech Kings would arrive in time, denying them another chance to kill you, rallied their allies and summoned the neutral, observing Abyss Overlords to intervene.]
Finally, when the news indirectly reached the human race, the Nine-Eyed Nether Toad, now possessing the power of a hundred thorns, unleashed its tongue. The enormous tongue shot out for 600,000 kilometers, with an attack speed exceeding 150,000 kilometers per second, reaching half the current world's limit. Even your protective aura trembled and cracks appeared.
