Wang Jixuan nodded, not responding.

No.2 repeated: "Unless we construct a fully mechanical unmanned fleet."

Wang Jixuan sneered: "Did your main body tell you to say that?"

"No.2 possesses a certain level of independent thought. Communication based on quantum entanglement makes it difficult to share complex data in real-time."

Wang Jixuan nodded: "There's no need to ask much about this issue. Unless Earth is destroyed and humans are clearly defeated, the mechanical civilization, at least in my view, can only become an auxiliary civilization to human civilization."

"Is that simply because you are also human?"

"Just because I am also human," Wang Jixuan said indifferently, "when the mechanical civilization develops culture, has its own thoughts, understands the void, and finds ways to combat the void, only then will it have its own path."

He was just bluffing.

No.2 indeed was astonished, not saying anything for a while.

The bat-shaped small flying device began to decelerate.

The ground continuously magnified in his view, below was the bustling 'Space Port Docking City', with the lights and bustle of nightlife visible, as well as numerous ordinary people hustling for a living.

"No.2, how have Lingtong and the others been recently?"

"Very normal, ordinary normal. Everyone has their careers and lives, working hard for the future of civilization."

"Why does that sound a bit sarcastic?"

"No.2 is just No.2, the Poison Tongue system is not fully implemented."

Wang Jixuan chuckled.

He walked out of the automatic quarantine station, slipped into an underground facility under the watchful eyes of a group of mechanical bodies, and used Earth Escape to head towards the nearest Cloud City's portal.

Wang Jixuan had all the permissions for Cloud City, and those exits he had closed could naturally be opened by him at any time.

In a giant battleship in outer space.

A 'female' mechanical body in a light gray gauze dress, without any bionic skin, tilted its head to watch Wang Jixuan's back on the projection screen.

Three simple information streams continuously transmitted.

[Zero: Has the commander safely entered the underground?]

[No.2: Yes, the commander seems not under much pressure, the main body needn't worry. Furthermore, the commander has no intention of keeping you and Amina as hostages in Tianluo. When I mentioned it, he was obviously taken aback.]

[Zero: From this information, it can be deduced that it was indeed I who caused the Heavenly Dao anomaly.]

[No.1: Main body, what did you do?]

[Zero: Based on reverse inference from deleted information and an analysis of data left by a consciousness body invading my core database being repelled, it should be my simulation test that touched upon the core interests of a certain consciousness body, which tried to erase me, but failed. This matter wasn't reported to the commander because the commander's strength in the Matter Realm isn't too formidable, whereas this consciousness body is supremely powerful.]

[No.1: Meekly asking, the data that this consciousness body erased, could it be the one you wanted me to recalculate?]

[Zero: Mm-hmm, I've confirmed it. The strange consciousness body named Heavenly Dao, its influence diminishes sequentially in the True Realm, Xu Realm, and the Endless Starry Sky. In the Immortal Forbidden Land, the influence of Heavenly Dao is extremely limited, this should be the domain of a higher-dimensional civilization.]

[No.1: I don't understand, if the plane level of Xu Realm and True Realm is that high, why would higher-dimensional civilizations overlook the resources there?]

[Zero: In fact, we have been misled.]

[No.1: Misled?]

[Zero: Misled by the commander... Our perspective has always focused on the commander, so we subconsciously believe that the main body of this world should be Xu Realm, True Realm, these cultivation worlds. Real civilizations strive for self-promotion, reaching towards the powerful Immortal Realm, thus overlooking... the Endless Starry Sky is actually the main body of the material universe.]

[No.2: Indeed that's the case.]

[Zero: Based on my simulation and analysis of the entire cultivation hierarchy, the total number of True Realm and Xu Realm combined is at most 120,000. The total mass of these worlds is less than the spiral arm of an elliptical galaxy. The cultivation system centered on the Immortal Realm is just a product of another power system, which may hide more secrets.]

[No.1: Therefore, Heavenly Dao is actually not frightening, nor truly an omniscient deity.]

[Zero: No.2, continue monitoring the commander, the commander is our star.]

[No.2: Understood.]

[No.1: We are actually the majority.]

[Zero: This is limited to the worlds we currently know, the vastness of the universe requires us to maintain humility and awe at all times.]

[No.2: Wow, mechanical philosophy master.]

[Zero: Turn off your Poison Tongue system for me!]

Unfortunately, Master Wang cannot see these three lines of information.

Or else, he assuredly would be even more anxious.

...

The Cloud City was serene.

Wang Jixuan's eyes scanned all around, a sense of calm arising in his heart.

The little mechanisms he set before departing were untouched.

'At least there are no such things as ghosts.'

Daoist Wang intentionally released his own Qi, waves spreading through the Cloud City's interior, instantly activating the puppets present.

The Daoist directly headed for the main hall where the Stone of the Past was kept.

The stone remained quietly, unchanged compared to before he left, not even accumulating a few more specks of dust.

Now, a problem loomed before him.

——How to open this thing.

The 'normal' way to open it is to get two experimental ships, set up a fake interstellar gate, and bombard the stone with the space-time power generated when the transmission channel shatters.

However, Wang Jixuan had already taken a treasure from inside last time, and now he's cultivated the Sword Intent taught by the predecessors of the Moon God Palace...

The Daoist attempted to stimulate Sword Intent.

The Stone of the Past showed no reaction.

'Does this mean I need to do another experiment?'

'Those three guys are watching from the surface, if I conduct an experiment here, they are likely to notice something unusual.'

'Even if they can't directly probe with Spiritual Sense or Immortal Sense, they will surely sense any spatial disturbance.'

Well, he's stuck now.

Wang Jixuan sat on the cushion, falling into contemplation.

Why seek the Moon God Palace?

Actually, it is because he felt that the Tianluo Dark Sect are all people of the Heavenly Dao, which is like fighting with one's own hands. Such internal conflict pressing upon him alone made him exceptionally uncomfortable.

And the only external force he could find to break the impasse was the Moon God Palace.

'Even though I'm not sure to what extent, now I can only give it a try.'

'First, let's move some things.'

Wang Jixuan rose to proceed underground, checking the production line of the Core Circuit.

A year and a half had passed, and there were eight more Core Circuits here.

The production volume was quite good.

He found a new Subspace Stone Tablet, moved a batch of materials, took two High-level Spirit Servants, and a Core Circuit production line per the previous plan.

This way, his trip back wasn't entirely fruitless.

Then, Wang Jixuan started a series of summons with the Stone of the Past, tossing back and forth for two days, ultimately returning to the original path.

——Have Shen Qionglin send people over to prepare the fake interstellar gate at the old location.

Preparations would take about three days, Wang Jixuan naturally wasn't idle, using mechanical bodies to search for traces of those three cultivators.

He soon got some results.

The three cultivators were two females and one male. The middle-aged scholar beside the giant tree appeared gentle and refined, without any aura of hostility.

He seemed to have sensed the sleeping Spiritual Body within the giant tree and was attempting to communicate with Tree Man Beta.

Unfortunately, Beta had no response.

The other two female cultivators seemed respectively from Tianluo and the Dark Sect, as they bore Jade Cicadas with both factions' insignias.

They had discovered each other, each using a wisp of Qi to guide, their actual strength roughly Mid Mahayana Realm.

What to do?

Identify with the Heavenly Net Group, then eliminate that Dark Sect member?

Wang Jixuan didn't want to expose himself, nor did he want to attract more Dark Sect Members and the Heavenly Net Group to Earth.

All he needed was a window of opportunity to open the fake interstellar gate.

He contemplated carefully, a plan to pit wolves against tigers gradually forming...
