Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 867: Chapter 35: The Second Half

”From the perspective of an interstellar native, you’ve done quite well.”

The Thin Alien gazed at the fallen Turing, muttering to itself.

An advanced civilization annexing a low-level civilization is quite common in the cosmos.

On a technology tree that’s worlds apart, low-level civilizations generally have no power to resist.

And in fact, if a low-level civilization truly had a technological explosion and repelled an attack or two from an advanced civilization, the Civilization Council would likely intervene.

The reason is simple, a civilization with potential is worth investing in.

The attack from the Memory Mother, even in the cosmos, amounts to a targeted strike by a ’Level 5 Civilization’.

Let alone a planet civilization, even a Level 3 Civilization couldn’t withstand much of it.

However, the natives of this planet somehow managed to withstand the first wave of assault from the ’Memory Mother.’

Although it was only from the weakest version of the ’Memory Mother.’

Yet, for a species from a Level 2 Civilization, accomplishing this with the aid of the Cosmic Relic Avatar is indeed commendable.

”But that’s all there is to it.”

The Thin Alien muttered to itself.

Introducing this Tier 5 Information Monster into this Cyber Test Field, their goal is not just this test field.

The older a civilization is, the more it adheres to certain old cosmic rules, like the ’Dark Forest Law.’

Finding its lair would be challenging even for a Level 9 Civilization.

However, the Cyber Test Field and its behind-the-scenes civilization have an indescribable connection.

This isn’t just an attack, it’s an offensive.

The target is the Cyber Test Fields under the control of the Ancient Mechanical Civilization.

”This is a very good drama, with protagonists, supporting roles, and villains all performing excellently, deserving of praise.”

Among the many Cyber Test Fields it has destroyed, the performance of the natives in this field would rank in the top three.

The Thin Alien felt compelled to applaud the other party.

’Clap’, ’Clap’, ’Clap’, ’Clap’

However, another voice interrupted its applause.

”Then you should finish watching this drama; what’s currently playing is just the first half.”

”You—”

The Thin Alien turned its head, only to find an overwhelming aura surging forth. The native’s skin began to sprout branches and leaves. The blood from the ’Sea of Life’ stained these branches and leaves, solidifying the native’s aura into blood-red gems.

The Thin Alien was taken aback, incredulously touching its eyeball. Without eyelids, it expressed surprise by pressing on its eyeball to prevent it from springing out.

”Cos, Cosmic Life!?”

It had experienced life planets, if not a thousand, then eight hundred.

On a life planet, no matter how powerful a life form appeared, it wouldn’t be surprised. After all, some colossal life forms were naturally born from fixed stars, inherently Tier 2 or even Tier 3.

So when it saw Gao Gong in fusion mode, it wasn’t particularly shocked.

However, on any planet, or say, within any planet civilization, it had never seen Cosmic Life.

Because Cosmic Life can only be born in the cosmos.

A phoenix cannot be born within an egg.

However, the life magnet field of Cosmic Life doesn’t lie.

Because the magnet field of Cosmic Life is ’solid state.’

Or rather, ’Little World State.’

Even with closed eyes, Gao Gong grinned at the other party.

The next moment, a seismic feeling suddenly emerged from beneath the Thin Alien’s feet.

The Thin Alien was momentarily stunned; it hadn’t forgotten it should be high above. If it could feel a tremor at this distance, there was only one explanation.

The magnetic field of the entire planet underwent subtle changes.

Looking down, it saw endless oceans beneath the naked eye’s limit; immense ’serpents’ emerged from the sea, each bringing forth a Level 10 storm as it surfaced.

The sky rolled with dark clouds. As if hearing something, its auditory systems began automatically adjusting, extending coverage from several miles to hundreds, then thousands, to tens of thousands of miles.

Then, its auditory systems, with needle-like organs, began vibrating at high frequencies.

In a daze, it heard countless cheers of different kinds, originating from various Radiation Beasts, born from the essence of this planet.

Low, medium, high radiation zones—no matter which Radiation Zone, Beast Tide moved without wind, weaved like blood-red silk. The high concentration radiation of the Radiation Zone spread to the low concentration areas, as if opening the Ren and Du Meridians. Original living zones transformed into radiation zones. More miraculously, this radiation didn’t harm people; instead, it bolstered their life force.

Some natural persons, their mutated organs from radiation, were instead slowly absorbed back within.

Subsequently, all natural persons’ bloodlines began to mutate, turning into radiation bloodlines.

NPCs have no panel, so they couldn’t yet feel these differences, but the player forums had already exploded.

All players born on the Mechanical Split Star found their bloodline forcibly altered.

However, what players thought wasn’t important anymore.

Ever since the first-generation Memory Mother was born, players had begun to ’log off’ in large numbers.

Currently, only a few players were still ’online.’

So they missed this magnificent scene.

A giant tree emerged from the sea, growing frantically; its trunk nearly covered the Thin Alien’s view, and the life force it radiated was indisputably SSS-Level.

On its tree trunk surface, countless Radiation Beast patterns lit up; these represented the sum total of tens of millions of Radiation Beast bloodlines on this planet.

The tree trunk reached upward, piercing through the radiation layer. Next moment, the radiation layer’s clouds began being absorbed crazily, with numerous branches spreading, disseminating; radiation beast eggs numbering in the millions. Each radiation beast egg seemed like a node, under whose influence the entire planet’s radiation layer, Radiation Zones, resonated wonderfully.

Such resonance could only be achieved by one being, the Gaia’s Will of the planet itself.

Grow a great tree of life to this extent within mere minutes; only one power could do so, the evolution of the Fusion Route.

Under dual influences, a Planet Tree grew.

Compared to the ’Radiation Life Tree’ from the Corporate War period, the more powerful ’Giant Planet Tree’ revealed its true form.

Moreover, this time, as branches and twigs split wildly, the entire planet’s radiation layer transformed into the ’Tree Crown’ of this planet tree.

At the center of the tree trunk, ’Forest Leopard’ slowly opened its eyes, as did Gao Gong simultaneously.

Their gazes were indistinguishable.

Sensing the radiation energy exceeding ten billion, Gao Gong, Forest Leopard, including the Brain-in-a-Vat, spoke in unison.

”The second half begins.”
