The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 271: Chapter 144: Saint of Civilization (Double Length)_5

“Has the transport location changed, or is this area just too vast?”

As the thought emerged in his mind.

The mechanical beings surrounding him uttered mechanical sounds at this moment.

“Qin Jin, as a Purifier, you don’t have to participate in this defense war.”

“No one will blame you.”

“It’s not too late for you to regret now, I will take you back to the bunker to settle down.”

Listening to his words, thoughts flashed quickly in Qin Jin’s mind.

“There really are NPCs within these civilizational relics.”

“Indeed, it’s not just a simple search and withdrawal.”

Thinking of the two factions mentioned in the diary, and combining them with the current scene, he responded: “I want to defend my homeland.”

As soon as he spoke.

The mechanical team surrounding him fell silent for a moment.

Then, the mechanical being who had just spoken straightened his posture, and solemnly said: “Salute to the Purifier·Qin Jin!”

As the voice faded, one by one, the mechanical beings also stood upright.

“I will take you to the battlefield.”

The eyes of the mechanical beings shone: “If you achieve merit in this defense war and return alive, I believe the [Saint] will be willing to meet you personally and bestow you glory.”

“Please follow me.”

After saying this, the mechanical being turned around.

The other mechanical beings clustered around Qin Jin, heading east.

“Not only are there NPCs, but they also assign specific identities to entrants.”

“Purifiers, corresponding to Polluters in the diary?”

As thoughts flashed through his mind.

Qin Jin felt a perception. His gaze suddenly turned to another place.

There.

Mechanical beings clustered around others, and he saw other entrants!

More than just one.

Some were advancing to the battlefield with him, while others chose differently, turning back with the mechanical beings and headed towards the [bunker].

Thoughts raced in his mind.

“Two possibilities.”

“The first possibility is that Han Miao and others also came here, but the distance is too great, so it’s impossible to link through Spirit Seeds.”

“The second possibility…”

“After the first two explorations, maybe due to specific points, or other differences, some entrants have gained the opportunity to participate in [hidden quests].”

“Is it because I learned about the mechanical beings and Polluters?”

His gaze turned, recalling the initial rules introduction.

[The hidden rules within the civilizational relics, need to be explored on your own]

“The Saint might be the big BOSS on the mechanical beings’ side within the civilizational relics’ opposing factions.”

“Since that’s the case…”

Qin Jin’s gaze flickered as he looked forward, thinking about the words of the mechanical squad leader: “It appears I’ve reached the stage where I don’t know where I am or who I am, but I only know I must unleash carnage.”

Amidst the clustering of mechanical beings, he continuously moved forward.

Qin Jin took a moment to check the countdown on his watch.

[9:53:23]

This exploration time spans a full ten hours!

As he walked forward, sounds of artillery fire constantly came from ahead.

“Qin Jin.”

“Hope you return alive.”

They halted atop a high platform, the mechanical squad leader spoke to Qin Jin once more, and then took his squad to leap off the high platform.

Qin Jin’s gaze looked forward.

Below the high platform, seeming to be a temporary camp of the mechanical beings’ faction, countless mechanical beings interchanged, and many severely damaged mechanical beings were being repaired by others.

This scene was somewhat eerie.

“Saint, mechanical beings…”

“Intelligent Mechanic Army?”

Qin Jin’s imagination played out in his mind.

His gaze stretched to the distance.

In front of the camp, among the ruins and debris of the city, a war was unfolding.

On one side, there was a torrent of iron-forged mechanical beings.

On the other side, there were mysterious monsters, both humanoid and beast-like, built of flesh.

Polluters!

At this moment, Qin Jin understood the meaning of Polluters.

This appearance, resembling the Extraordinary affected by contamination within the Extraordinary Factor, or like life forms infected by the Evil God’s power!

“This Limit-Breaking Cup team’s map feels quite profound.”

“How are these Polluters created?”

As thoughts flashed by.

Qin Jin leapt down from the high platform.

…

At the same time.

Another exploration region.

Han Miao sensed her own Spirit Seed, her brows furrowed slightly, her voice resonated on a spiritual level, carried by the seed to others.

“Two people’s Spirit Seeds have gone silent, they don’t seem to have been transported to our area.”

“Who are they?”

An inquiry arose in the spiritual plane.

“Qin Jin.”

“And… An Shi.”

…

The Star Dome Limit-Breaking Cup continues.

Simultaneously.

The unknown areas within the Star Sea.

Amidst abruptness, the already quiet Star Domain suddenly turned black and white, like a silent film, with a figure emerging in this monochrome Star Sea.

Su Buqi.

He stood in place, his eyes slightly closed, at this moment, the Star Sea stirred, a voice arose.

“What matters require Old Brother Su to contact me so urgently?”

“Hmm? You’ve come too?”

“A rare big occasion, we haven’t gathered in a long time, have we?”

Different voices resonated from within the Star Sea.

Su Buqi opened his eyes.

“Everyone.”

His voice was calm: “I have sought you out because I need you to bring out some of your hidden treasures to assist me, and if necessary, provide me support.”

“It’s rare for you to actively ask for help.”

“Just say what you need.”

“What matter demands such formality?”

Voices of inquiry echoed.

In Su Buqi’s eyes, there was a trace of relief, he calmly said: “This matter pertains to…”

“My life.”
