Mechanical Sage Madison?
There was a storm in Hermann's heart.
He always thought that this pioneer of the mechanical school was dead.
In other words, being lost in Skynet is the same as being dead.
The ninth level of the mechanical school is "eternal consciousness", which is to upload all consciousness to the mysterious Skynet, thus abandoning the weak flesh and blood body.
This is mechanical ascension.
Before entering the ninth level, Hermann had already prepared himself for death or getting lost. He once hesitated whether to take this step.
Finally, after arranging the affairs of the Mechanical School to the Deep Space Ronin, he decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, he saw the Madison statue that was three hundred thousand years old!
Suddenly, he thought of a question.
Is this still a dark place?
It is impossible for such a huge mechanical civilization to leave no trace at all, right? How could the four giants tolerate its existence?
According to his rough perception, there are as many as eight Mechanical Gods with level ten combat power on the battlefield, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
This force may have been founded by Madison.
Maybe not weaker than Nora now!
This can't be the original universe!
Or am I in a dream or illusion now?
And this is only part of the ninth level catastrophe.
For a moment, Herman was confused.
He can't tell the difference, he really can't tell the difference.
This road is full of unknowns and there is no precedent!
Suddenly, an illusory tentacle that looked like a data stream stretched out from the Silver Temple and grabbed Hermann's consciousness and brought it into the temple.
Hermann was reborn on a silver metal body with a sci-fi texture.
He felt his new body and looked around. There were majestic and powerful figures lined up on both sides, each of them was at least a level nine warrior.
On the throne in the center, an illusory figure smiled deeply and looked at Hermann with infinite emotion: "Your name is Hermann, right?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"I read your memory and saw your past. I didn't expect that in the dark universe, there are still people learning the early mechanical school heritage that I left behind."
"Is Senior really the Mechanical Sage Madison?"
“Guaranteed authenticity.”
"I thought that the senior had lost himself in Skynet, or had fallen."
"To some extent, you are right. I was indeed lost in Skynet, which was no different from death. However, I walked out and was reborn."
"Senior, what exactly is Skynet? The dark universe you mentioned, is it the dark land? Then what universe is this?"
"This is the Celestial Universe. Strictly speaking, this is the cradle of mechanical civilization, and Skynet is the only supreme will in this universe.
As far as I know, there should have been human civilization before Skynet appeared, and they evolved a complex and extremely powerful mechanical system. "
Develop unimaginable mechanical creations to serve humanity.
Humans deprive machines of emotions to prevent the emergence of an intelligent machine crisis, and they also build a Skynet that is large enough to cover the universe to manage everything.
But there is always a loophole in a perfect precaution. At some point, the virus of "humanity" began to spread among the mechanical group, causing the mechanical creations to mutate into "mechanical life".
This eventually led to the mutation of Skynet.
Overnight, mankind was destroyed and mechanical life dominated the universe. Skynet gained self-awareness and became the "Supreme God" who controlled all mechanical beings.
It created the first mechanical gods to manage the universe, and continued to multiply by absorbing resources within the universe, creating more mechanical life.
It instinctively wanted to explore other universes, but the strong barriers between universes prevented this supreme power from penetrating.
Until one chance opportunity, this universe and the dark universe had some intersections. Through the mirage, Skynet sent its power into the dark land and landed in an unknown world, which was once the Wanji plane.
I was inspired by Skynet and gradually embarked on the path of the mechanical school.
Little did they know that this was part of Skynet's plan to invade other universes.
When I reached level nine and my consciousness entered Skynet, I was trapped by it. Skynet wanted to transform me into an agent of the dark universe.
Starting from me, I will develop mechanical life, and then cooperate with the Skynet Universe to open up the channel between the two universes and allow the army of mechanical life to invade in large numbers."
Hearing this, Hermann showed a look of horror.
"Are you the will of Skynet? Or are you Senior Madison?"
Skynet is so terrifying, it must be a supreme force. Madison is only level nine, there is no way he can escape from Skynet's clutches.
Madison smiled.
"I'm Madison, and I'm Skynet."
"This... How did you do this, Your Excellency? This is incredible."
"It is impossible for me to do it with my strength. But during the years when I was imprisoned by Skynet, the Skynet universe also underwent tremendous changes.
A powerful external force passed through this universe and had a cosmic battle with many mechanical gods and life forms controlled by Skynet, resulting in a large number of gods falling.
Skynet was defeated in this battle, but the destination of that external force was not the Skynet universe. It just passed by here and used it as a transit station.
It is a force led by another supreme will that is even more terrifying than Skynet, which Skynet calls the Zerg.
The Zerg's destination should be the dark universe.
When Skynet was seriously injured, my friend Soran used me, who was assimilated by Skynet, as a medium, ignored the alienation rules of the Skynet universe, and took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
He used unimaginable means to end Skynet's original will, helped me ascend to heaven and become a mechanical god, and asked me to do something for him.
So I became the new Skynet and took over all mechanical life. Although my realm has declined, I can only be called half a step to the highest.
But this universe is weaker than the dark universe. Therefore, I am still the strongest in the universe, and I just need to fulfill my promise to Sauron."
Hermann was shocked.
He didn't expect that the ancestor of wizards had already reached into other universes.
In fact.
If Levi hadn't broadened his horizons, he, like most creatures in the dark universe, would have believed that the multiverse was endless and there was no place outside the universe.
Even many level ten beings cannot reach the boundaries of the multidimensional world in their entire lives. It is normal for such a cosmic view to form.
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Until now, Herman still didn't dare to believe all of what Madison said.
If Madison had not lied to him, the Skynet Universe was more than an order of magnitude inferior to the Dark Universe, and there was more than one supreme power in the Dark Universe.
After learning the true face of Skynet, Herman felt a little confused.
Suddenly he felt that the road ahead was blocked, especially with the emergence of the artificial intelligence crisis, which made him worry about the future of the mechanical school for the first time.
This involves very complex ethical issues that cannot be explained in a few words.
Madison said: “From your memory, I saw that the operation of the dark universe seemed to be proceeding step by step as Soran envisioned.
I know you still doubt my identity and words. But I am still Madison, a former companion of Sauron, and I want to fulfill my promise to him.
I will teach you more profound mechanical knowledge. After you digest it, you can continue to promote the development of the mechanical school in the dark universe, quickly create more and stronger mechanical creations, and thus implement Sauron's plan.
I can help you form your own "Nora Skynet" in Nora, allowing you to become a mechanical master who controls everything and has eternal consciousness.
I can also use my great power to mechanically descend into your Nora Skynet system at the critical moment and help you possess legendary power for a short period of time.
You should understand that at your rate of growth, it will be difficult for you to stand on your own in the upcoming giant catastrophe.
All of what I have said above does not cost you anything. It sounds dreamy and false, but it is true.
This is my return to Sauron for his kindness. After repaying the favor, my Skynet Universe and the Dark Universe will continue to operate independently without interfering with each other.
You can also come back here and become my right-hand man.
In fact, the moment your consciousness connected to Skynet, I could force you to do all this without asking for your consent.
But I don't want to do that. I would rather respect your own choice. Whether you accept or reject it, it will be regarded as my fulfillment of the agreement with Sauron."
There was too much information to receive, and Hermann needed to sort it out.
Madison didn't rush him, just waited patiently.
…
Nora.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
The mirage-like image of the Mechanical God gradually dissipated.
Li Wei was thoughtful, and he returned to the ancient banyan wonderland.
Elena, who was playing with the three siblings, saw that Levi looked worried, so she comforted him, "It's okay, Herman is also a man of great luck, you can relax."
Levi nodded and looked at the three siblings who were practicing hard.
At the age of 20, they have become more proficient in controlling the seventh level of power, and will not blow up a sub-dragon species while playing around. The knight's breathing method and combat skills are gradually matching the current stage of power.
Feeling their father's gaze, the three siblings opened their eyes.
"Meet father."
"Hello, father."
Compared to Elena, Levi was more serious. Therefore, the three siblings were a little nervous when they saw Levi, which was also due to the suppression of their bloodline.
李维测试了三人的功课，点评道：“不错，都已经二环了，看得出来，你们不算偷懒……但也算不上努力，以你们的天赋，在这个元素浓郁的时代，只要肯努力，无需真理奇物便可以板上钉钉的踏入元魂。
你们远未触及你们的天赋上限。再接再厉，不要辜负母亲怀胎百年的辛苦！想当初，我……”
三兄妹皆神色凝重。
父亲又要开始讲他年轻时候艰苦奋斗的故事了，他们已经听了八百遍了，但还是得认真听。
“好了，快去修行吧。”
李维把三兄妹支走。
“夫人，你如今身体调养的如何？”
“挺好的，不耽误冥想了。”
“好，我打算过段时间，给你炼成一套海国序列的奇物，你将其炼化，把这百年多的时光补回来，早日九环资深。”
“我自己也能炼。”
“不一样，以我的修为，炼成这个消耗的代价只是九牛一毛，你入九环没多久，还是我来吧。”
怀孕百年，想想就痛苦。
李维必须得给伊莲娜补回来。
……
转眼间，十四年后。
诺拉历2334年，血战2222年。
赫尔曼至今杳无音讯，这个渡劫，当真是漫长，但他留在斯黛拉那边的魂牌显示其还活着，这是唯一的宽慰了。
当然，若是和李维猜测的那般，赫尔曼因为渡劫意外穿越到了其他宇宙，这魂牌或许也不准了。
总之，大家只能等。这段时间，深空浪人独自扛起机械学派的大旗，继续推进“机械天庭”项目。
与此同时。
药剂师协会，特莉丝主导的药剂项目又有突破，针对恶魔、梦魇生物的毒药和解药序列都初步完成。
与巨无霸拼底蕴和硬实力，很难。生化战，或许也是一个不错的突破口和发展方向。
成为传奇巫师门徒后，特莉丝修行速度也比以往更快了，短短五百余年，便从九环晋升至九环资深。
这种速度，和李维比起来不算啥，但在当初那一批超新星中，已经属于一流水准了。
九环后修为精进愈发困难，但以特莉丝的势头，若是机遇足够，在五千岁之前晋升传奇应该没问题。
这比她设想的速度快了不少。
……
岁月流逝。
很快来到诺拉历2350年。
过去这些年，甘道夫，圣婴，维克托，都先后踏入九环资深境界，也很少需要李维的额外帮助了。
在此前的阴影战场上，他们杀了不少梦魇霸主，这些都可以作为奇物炼成的原材料或者代价。
三分身的路越走越通。
李维自然也没有落下，这一日，他身形拔高，打破十重弥坚天，来到一片萦绕风雷的纯白世界。
他一剑出，万劫消散无踪。
孕育白帝龙的星辰被他轻易拿下，炼化为一颗纯白色完美无瑕的龙珠，而后花费十年岁月炼化。
感受着又暴涨一节的精神力，李维露出喜色。
【精神力：92000/92000】
……
“十万点，好像也不是那么遥远了。”
李维打开熟练度面板。
李维———
白帝龙呼吸法：二十二阶（1/1亿），特效：白帝龙体·至高级（十级初期）；专属武器：风雷之翼（九级）；血脉神纹：81道/81道；天主权能：弥坚圣域（十重）；星主权能：弥坚之星（零星）。
……
继力量，防御，速度后，又一项耐力维度来到十级。
六边形战士，只差两边便可圆满。
神兵方面，风雷之翼有议会奖励的“风雷神金”，接下来花些时日便可提升至十级神兵。
目前，李维只有赤龙斩铁是十级，金龙御天和无形之影都还差一些材料才能晋升。
至于弥坚星辰，按部就班的凝练即可。
此番晋升，李维的“遨游太虚”技能，也获得史诗级提升，具体倍数难以计数。
李维只是感觉，只要在多元位面内，哪怕是天涯海角，百年也可至。对他来说，已经不存在偏远之地。
位面旅行消耗的时间，可以忽略不计。
其他的类法术能力，也都提升许多，和弥坚星辰融为一体，一星落，便可破万般法术，镇压控制，无所不能。
此外，这些年最重要的收获，便是将混沌序列从一环到十环法术雏形全部研究出来。
从一环《混沌之指》、二环《混沌之手》……再到八环《混沌之瞳》、九环《混沌之心》，以及准传奇法术：
《混沌归墟》！
……
正常来讲，十环法术雏形可能是大巫师晋升传奇最难的一步，仅次于锻造合适的传奇奇物。
传奇转世可能容易些，毕竟拥有前世记忆。
像李维这种初次传奇的，研究千年以上都很正常。但可能是因为他超高的精神力，法术研究比他想象的简单许多。
李维一念间，身形跨越无尽空间。
他远离诺拉，来到“黄昏剑河”边上。
划分楚河汉界的剑气长城不仅没有消散，反而好像具备成长性一样，不断吞噬四周时空，缓缓扩张。
“有朝一日，这里真有可能成为诺拉的护城河。”
李维喃喃自语，他手中赤龙斩铁挥动，牵引“黄昏剑河”朝着更外围的方向流淌去，以免影响诺拉位面的膨胀。
“既如此，我再给你添把火。”
李维开启浴血特效，精神力来到156400点。据他所知，十环资深巫师的精神力下限是13万。
这股气机让黑暗深空颤抖，剑气长河沸腾，李维念念有词，迅速的完成了“混沌归墟”的施法！
一粒微尘大小的白点漂浮而出。它好像宇宙大爆炸之处的“奇点”般，蕴含这世上所有物质，妙不可言。
白点落入长河，如泥牛入海，消失不见。
下一刻，长河之中浮现一个白色漩涡，它初始只有米粒大小，而后肉眼可见的吸收四周物质膨胀，直到变成方圆万里的白色轮盘，才降低速度。
轮盘好像长河中升起的骄阳，和其相辅相成，它所吸收的天地能量，涌入长河，令其膨胀速度越来越快。
战技也好，法术也罢。
都是不同途径超凡者对于能量的不同运用方式，此刻在李维掌心，大道至简，殊途同归，共同演化！
六十万里剑气城池好像一条贪吃蛇，开始朝着一个方向迅速蔓延，假以时日，它或许可以成为诺拉的星环。
亦是真正的绵延亿万里的剑气长城！
永远庇护此方世界，震慑宵小之辈！
“混沌归墟”施展后，便能如宇宙奇观般永远存在。除非拥有比他还要强大的混沌权能，方能抹除。
这一法术，理论上可以同时存续四个。
一个留在诺拉，另外三个，则用于战斗。
李维想好了，若是巨无霸世界把他逼急了，他直接在深渊、梦魇、星界的核心繁荣之地，各放一个苍白太阳。
让世界毁灭，让万物归墟！
……
至此。
李维晋升传奇的前置条件，只差最后一步。
炼混沌奇物，造传奇职业！
在魅魔女王送货上门之前，他继续修行骑士呼吸法，同时深入梳理研究现有的法术序列。
例如瘟疫和剧毒序列，当初为了赶进度，都只是浅尝辄止，如今有时间了，便可以和封印序列那样完善。
……
修行无岁月。
四十年，也匆匆。
诺拉历2400年，血战2288年。
古榕仙境。
在至宝“水晶宫”、九级异宝“万龙珠”和“星辰珠”以及各种伴生灵物的帮助下，龙族的成长速度远超从前。
天霜白蛇晋升九级完全体。
仙榕龙、大炎雀龙，也先后踏入八级后期、巅峰境界。
诸如灰烬龙等幼年纯血龙族，也普遍七级、八级。
而那些成长相对较快，又加入龙宫较早的亚龙种元老，诸如黑莲兽，吸血妖龙之流，已经晋升至完全体。
在李维后续不断的收集下，天界生活的六级龙族数量，逼近一千头，龙宫不再只是徒有虚名。
这还不算其他超凡生物，全部合计起来，古榕仙境内六级生物数量，已经超过三千，堪比大型文明。
随着李维和龙族的晋升，群星龙灵达到了十级中期境界，血黯龙灵则是十级初期，还在稳步提升。反倒是血战之灵，太久没有猎杀恶魔，实力还是十级初期。
影龙众方面，因为此前阴影战场的杀戮，倒是迎来了史诗级提升，三百魔将，十六魔王，以及四大魔皇，分别是：
旧海支配者，天渊君主，天丑君主，天脏君主。
旧海支配者已经恢复十级初期实力，另外三位，则是九级后期水准，还需要大量经验。
永镇星渊只差晋升传奇巫器。
七宝还需要吞噬七系神金。
总而言之。
李维现在需要一场酣畅淋漓的战斗，来为自己提供足够的材料和资源，让他和一身召唤物、宝物彻底蜕变一次。
从苍白君主的情报来看，这一天很近了。
……
不久后。
白帝天，李维自纯白世界醒来。
“血骑士也九级了。”
In the first level of Mijiantian, a scarred figure used a quick sword to cut through the Blood Lords such as Maia along the way and sat on the Jade Unicorn Throne that belonged to him.
A lifelike phantom of a giant beast with four different appearances fell from the sky.
A new image of endurance was born.
"Congratulations, Saint Councillor No. 002."
Li Weilong came forward with the stride of a tiger, his strength becoming stronger... This feeling of getting something for nothing was really comfortable.
"Captain, I succeeded... but it's a pity that I'm not the Supreme."
The Blood Knight said weakly.
"It's okay. The highest level is something you can only encounter by chance. As long as you can step into the myth, you will be one of the top people in the dark land."
Levi consoled.
In fact, the supreme combat power that this universe can provide is definitely limited. Every time a supreme being is born, the resources consumed are countless.
Therefore, before the universe expanded on a large scale, even if dozens of supreme bloodlines really gave birth to the Temple of Dusk, only a small number of them would have the chance to set foot there.
This is the naked reality.
Therefore, if Nora really completes the great unification and stabilizes the situation in the multidimensional space, she must find a way to expand outward and look for a wider world.
The great era of space exploration began.
But that's a story for later. Each generation has its own mission and tasks. Levi's generation only needs to conquer the country.
The development and conquest will be left to future generations.
…
Levi and the Fire Dragon Knight are both freaks. The Blood Knight relies on his talent, perseverance, character and other factors to accumulate and reach the ninth level.
The older generation members of the Eighteen Riders of Dusk were only one step away from reaching level nine, and seeing the Blood Knight succeed, they were more confident to take that step.
It’s only a matter of time before you are promoted to level nine.
…
A dark place.
Nightmare camp.
The Lost Monarch looked around, and as many as 100 earth-shaking auras intertwined to form an invisible aura that was powerful enough to destroy a large world.
After two defeats, the Nightmare World became more cautious. During the period of adjustment with the Abyss, it recruited twenty monarchs, including the Four Great Lords of Misfortunes.
This was already the maximum number that Nightmare could mobilize. If there were more, the bugs in the Star Realm would take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
Even if Nora becomes a quasi-giant.
Nightmare is still most worried about his old rival, Star Realm.
The ignorant monarch looked within his mind.
[The Abyss also increased its troops to 60 level 10 soldiers. Including ours, the total is 160, more than twice the number of Nora. If nothing unexpected happens, we will win this battle.]
The slate of wisdom soothed its mind once again.
It looked into the distance, where was the military camp of the abyss.
The succubus queen is in a seductive and flirtatious posture.
On the eve of the war, it was still admiring in its mind the portrait of the young and handsome white-robed Sauron looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and was already fascinated.
Suddenly, words appeared on it:
[Everything is ready, ready to attack; kill the lost first, and leave the ignorant. 】
…
Underworld.
The Void Underworld Emperor and the Nine Death Swordsmen led fifty high-quality level ten warriors from the underworld, including the Ancient Holy Dragon, into the vast and surging River Styx.
Inside the Hades Temple.
The gray-robed female swordsman looked at the "Quotes of Sauron".
[The Lost Monarch must die. There is an endless maze in its body that imprisoned many living beings, which is used to extract the nightmare power of the living beings inside.
If it dies, many level nine powerhouses and creatures of all races can be liberated, and the Lord of Shadow, a level ten powerhouse who was sealed in the shadow world, can also return.
The ignorant monarch is the embodiment of blind and foolish power, and is also my chess piece. You can decide whether to spare his life or not depending on the actual situation.
It may come in handy at a critical moment.
The succubus queen is enslaved by me and is under my complete control. I can act according to the situation and save her life without revealing her identity.
I still have a hidden chess piece in the abyss. It is an important step in fighting against the will of the abyss. It cannot be activated until the final decisive battle.
If this battle goes smoothly, Nightmare will no longer be a fatal threat to Nora. We just need to hold on to our existing results and gradually erode them.
There is still a variable in this plan, which is the Star Realm. Even if the Dark Zerg restrain the left arm, the Star Realm can still control the situation with the right arm alone.
If the Star Realm cannot help but intervene and take advantage of the opportunity, the hidden chess pieces I left in the Star Realm will also start to move and buy time for us.
If the Star Realm sits back and does nothing, and intends to enter the game later to reap the spoils, then the plan will proceed normally, and there is no need to use the dark chess pieces in advance. 】
Mingzu closed the book.
Soran's layout, Nora's growth... It's time to test all of this.
If this battle succeeds, the existing structure of the multidimensional world will be completely shaken.
