As these words were said, even the Mechanical Senators, who had lost most of their emotions, couldn't sit still.

"Is there really such a Divine Technique?"

"The Great Destruction Realm has lasted for tens of thousands of years, why have we never heard of such a Divine Technique?"

The number of Satellite-Class War Fortresses in Intelligent Machinery City is limited, and most of the time they can only be used as a deterrent.

The main force in most battlefields is Secondary War Fortresses. If this Divine Technique can arbitrarily destroy Secondary War Fortresses, it will greatly diminish Intelligent Machinery City's war potential.

"High Danger Alert! High Danger Alert!"

"We must confirm whether this Divine Technique can be learned by others. If this special Divine Technique can be passed on, it will undoubtedly bring endless trouble to Intelligent Machinery City."

"We must spare no cost to hunt down this Cancer of Immortality!"

After a brief exchange, all the Mechanical Senators reached a consensus.

First, utilize all mechanical creation forces to search for any trace of Lu Yan. Once discovered, mobilize all Satellite-Class War Fortresses to hunt him down.

Secondly, spread the information about Lu Yan's Demon Dao's true inheritance and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner he holds to the outside world.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner itself is a forbidden treasure of the All Immortals Alliance, especially as the righteous path is extremely hostile to it. Intelligent Machinery City wants to leverage this to incite dissatisfaction within the All Immortals Alliance for the use of a forbidden magical treasure by the Demon Dao's true inheritance, igniting conflict between the righteous and demon paths.

In the process, conceal the news of the special Divine Technique and enhance the portrayal of the threat from the Demon Dao's true inheritance from other aspects, creating a powerful image that breaks the balance of version forces, stirring hostility from various major version powers.

Within just a few hours, a flood of information about the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Demon Dao's true inheritance began to spread throughout the Great Destruction Realm.

...

Coincidentally, tens of thousands of miles away above the sky, a majestic Divine Kingdom stands at the boundary between reality and myth.

The Divine Kingdom hangs above the sea of clouds, its outline resembling an inverted golden balance, its vast mass extending over hundreds of miles.

Seven circular walls encircle it layer by layer, in each layer dwell believers of different ranks, stratified by the Power of Faith, shepherding the multitude of beings.

In the very center of the Divine Kingdom, the Holy Hall soars straight into the clouds, immense prayers emanate from the Divine Hall.

Within the innermost layers of the seven-fold encircled Divine Kingdom, millions of spirit warriors follow the prayer voices in recitation, an immense flow of Power of Faith circulates day and night, providing the source of strength for the Divine Kingdom.

And in the golden sea of clouds above the Divine Kingdom, numerous Demigods transform into grand phantasmal apparitions, their eyes meant to watch over all beings now instead fixated on the lowest-ranked Demigod, Keynes.

Feeling the gaze of the many Demigods, Keynes's face remained expressionless, but he was already cursing inwardly.

The alliance of the Land of the Gods and Intelligent Machinery City to eradicate the Cancer of Immortality that appeared in the Blessed Ruins was supposed to be an easy task, a Demigod and a Satellite-Class War Fortress deploy, even a Nascent Soul Realm Cancer of Immortality would meet its end.

At that time, with merits established, the Divine Kingdom would surely reward with faith, an opportunity Keynes had worked so hard to secure.

Who would have thought that what seemed like free merit would result in an unexpected mishap, with a Satellite-Class War Fortress and three Secondary War Fortresses being destroyed, leaving only Demigod Keynes alive.

This was undoubtedly terrible news for Keynes.

The Land of the Gods enforces strict rules, for the faith of the various Demigods in the Great Destruction Realm does not truly belong to themselves, its source is the Land of the Gods.

Once the Land of the Gods deems Keynes incompetent, they can strip the faith from Keynes, the spirit army can be reclaimed at any time, and then with the faith and spirit army given to another, create a brand-new Demigod.

In this battle, Keynes initially underestimated the enemy and failed to act immediately, resulting in the destruction of two Secondary War Fortresses and a Satellite-Class War Fortress, and later let Lu Yan escape due to the false threats from the Soul Continent.

If reported truthfully, such a performance would certainly bring punishment, and if a Demigod were to add fuel to the fire, Keynes might not even be able to retain his position as a Demigod.

Feeling the many Demigods' predatory stares, Keynes raised his voice:

"The Cancer of Immortality is insidious and cunning, his treasure is exceedingly formidable, with five powerful ghostly entities able to contest against me.

Even more importantly, his treasure contains a fragment of a Divine Kingdom, he can descend the Divine Kingdom into reality to suppress, leaving Demigod level creatures utterly powerless to resist!"

Keynes's words elicited a moment of surprise among the Demigods, but immediately someone countered:

"You are definitely lying, how could a mere Cancer of Immortality possess a fragment of a Divine Kingdom?"

"Keynes, you are truly turning senile, to fabricate such lies just to save yourself."

"Keynes made grievous errors in this mission, causing significant losses to Intelligent Machinery City. I propose removing Keynes from his position as a Demigod and selecting a new one!"

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

Keynes's half-truths and half-lies failed to deceive the many Demigods, and one by one, the Demigods in the clouds began to make their stance known.

Although the final decision rests within the Land of the Gods, the attitude of the Demigods can also influence the choice of the Land of the Gods.

As the number of Demigods expressing their opinions was about to surpass half, the prayers in the central Holy Hall of the Land of the Gods gradually ceased, replaced by a voice of majestic sanctity.

"Intelligent Machinery City has sent information, the Cancer of Immortality in this ambush is suspected to have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, wielding the legendary Demon Dao's Ultimate Treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, with power vastly surpassing an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch.

This is one of the All Immortals Alliance's final trump cards, Keynes may have failed, but it was not due to a lack of combat prowess."

With the sound of the sacred voice, the many Demigods' gazes towards Keynes filled with astonishment.

"Could it really be true?"

"Demon Dao's Ultimate Treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? If it can be called a treasure within the All Immortals Alliance, it's not impossible for it to contain a fragmentary Divine Kingdom."

"The Demon Dao's true inheritances are the most ruthless, Keynes was truly lucky to return alive."

Keynes stood there, if any Demigod actively saw through the veil of faith enveloping him, they would discover that Keynes's face was already in disbelief.

As the sole survivor of that battle, Keynes was well aware of Lu Yan's actual strength.

Lu Yan was merely at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, his methods just rather unique. Had he not been deceived at the last moment, Lu Yan's power might not have been enough to escape his grasp.

"Could it be that Intelligent Machinery City has some special intent?"

Keynes had a vague suspicion, but he certainly wouldn't expose it voluntarily.

The stronger Lu Yan appeared, the less responsibility he bore for the mission's failure, and at this critical moment, he certainly wouldn't seek trouble for himself.

Within the Land of the Gods, the Demigods engaged in fervent discussion.

Half a day later, information about the mysterious Demon Dao's true inheritance wielding a fragmentary Divine Kingdom spread rapidly, such potent backing further confirmed the theory that this Demon Dao's true inheritance was a hidden trump card of the All Immortals Alliance.

In just a few days, Lu Yan's reputation skyrocketed throughout the Great Destruction Realm.

In secret, various major version powers at odds with the All Immortals Alliance began discreetly searching for traces of Lu Yan and dispatched people to the All Immortals Alliance's territory to probe for hidden information.

This search persisted for a full month, and all factions were shocked to discover that Lu Yan seemed to have vanished into thin air.

However, Lu Yan's disappearance did not diminish the scrutiny from the major version powers; instead, it pushed everyone to intensify their efforts in searching for Lu Yan's whereabouts.

Centered around Lu Yan, innumerable undercurrents surged within the Great Destruction version!

...

In the ruins of the Cave Profound Blessed Land, a hundred miles deep underground, Lu Yan sat cross-legged in a glowing cave.

No one would have thought that Lu Yan, whom all the major version powers were searching for, was actually hiding deep underground in the ruins of the Cave Profound Blessed Land.

Although the Cave Profound Blessed Land had turned into ruins, the residual laws, depleted Spirit Vein, and remnants of the Feng Shui Array made the environment extremely complex, making it impossible for the detection methods of Intelligent Machinery City to explore a hundred miles deep underground.

After destroying the Satellite-Class War Fortress, Lu Yan was almost exhausted and couldn't keep running any longer.

If he exposed himself in the Blessed Ruins, it would only be a matter of time before he got caught, so he decisively had the Dome Abyss Divine General choose to teleport him deep underground.

By the third day after the great battle, Lu Yan had almost recovered, but he didn't choose to flee the ruins of the Cave Profound Blessed Land.

Lu Yan understood that his strength was lagging behind the dangerous environment of the Great Destruction version, and if he was targeted, he might not even be able to escape safely back to the All Immortals Alliance.

Instead of risking a hasty escape, Lu Yan chose to stay underground and enhance his strength.

And then, give Intelligent Machinery City a big surprise!
