Chapter 249: When in Rome, do as the Romans do, God of Myriad Machines
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
During the last ascension trial, Jiang Chen only knew that the strange creatures came from beneath the ground, but because of his lack of sensory abilities, he couldn’t determine their locations and capabilities.
Moreover, there was the special circumstance of the Earth Cataclysm civilization.
When Jiang Chen was trying to communicate with the local civilization, there were some troubles.
This time, the situation for the ascension trial had completely changed.
Jiang Chen had accumulated a vast amount of ability modules through hundreds of rounds of precipitation.
Among them, the Danger Sensing ability, not only had he stacked it through hundreds of rounds, but it had also been enhanced by a fourfold effect from the [Extreme Battle Spirit].
Just like his basic attributes, it had reached the 7th Rank level.
Even standing on the surface of the planet, his sensing range was almost enveloping the star.
Therefore, when he activated Danger Sensing,
not only was the exact location of the Void Rift completely locked down,
but all high-intensity life forms inside and outside the planet were also included in the sensing range.
“5th Rank life strength, one.”
“4th Rank life strength, seven.”
“3rd Rank life strength, one hundred twenty-eight…”
“Are they the God of Holy Light, demigods, and ordinary powerhouses of the Holy Light Empire?”
Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, staring at the “Rune Sun.”
He could sense that the strongest 5th Rank life presence was inside that “Rune Sun.”
It must be the “God of Holy Light” described by the Abyss Rune, who sheltered humanity and established the Holy Light Empire.
Jiang Chen was very interested in this God of Holy Light.
Although he had locked down the position of the Void Rift, he could directly try to clean up the enemies, seal the Void Rift, and complete the ascension task.
The whole process didn’t require communication with anyone.
But in that case, the civilization of Moraka would know nothing about the mecha pilot.
In the growth process of the future mecha pilot system, it would inevitably encounter more turmoil, affecting the speed of crossing the abyss.
It might even affect the efficiency of Fire Transmission, impacting his own potential profits.
Moreover, the situation of the Moraka civilization was different from the Earth Cataclysm world.
This place was a fantasy Transcendent world by itself, where the God of Holy Light was not only the strongest but also the faith of humanity, a highly unified world.
In such a situation, Jiang Chen didn’t need to do anything complicated.
Simply by meeting the God of Holy Light and persuading Him, it would be equivalent to communicating with the entire civilization, passing down the mecha pilot system.
He could also exchange information about this civilization’s heritage and technology.
Although by reaching the Purgatory level, Jiang Chen could trade to acquire the technical knowledge of those ancient civilizations, the technology of the Moraka civilization might only be the most basic…
But since he had already come, he should at least take some local specialties back.
After all, it wouldn’t take much time.
“Speaking of which, what kind of deity is the god of this world?”
“A mortal who became a god, or a non-human deity?”
“The former would just be a higher realm, a more powerful human.”
“The latter, sheltering humanity and civilizations, would they count as abyssal creatures?”
Curious, Jiang Chen’s figure shifted slightly.
With the sound of breaking the air, he rose from the city wall, turned into a meteor, and flew towards the “Rune Sun” in the sky.
…
The “Rune Sun” was a golden spherical body covered with patterns, about forty thousand kilometers in diameter, floating near the geostationary orbit.
It moved with the planet’s rotation, appearing to be stationary.
This was the “cathedra” of the God of Holy Light, as well as His divine kingdom.
In the core of the divine kingdom, within a resplendent and splendid palace,
at the center where countless lights intersected, a diamond-shaped life form made wholly of white light floated above the cathedra.
Its exterior layer was also covered with several armor-like golden crystalline plates.
This was the true appearance of the God of Holy Light—
He had once been a powerful human who controlled Holy Light Energy.
However, after ascending to divinity, He chose to forsake His frail human body and embraced eternal Holy Light,
becoming a Luminance Elemental Life with limitless lifespan.
After more than twenty thousand years, He still showed no signs of aging.
By gathering the pure faith of the human empire and the pure Luminance Elemental Energy sourced from the greater sun, He was continuously getting stronger.
At this moment, He was in a state akin to slumber, digesting these two types of energy.
Suddenly, He sensed a strong presence rapidly approaching His divine kingdom.
The defense of the divine kingdom automatically triggered, with the outermost barrier, which had always been maintained, manifesting as a rune light screen.
At the same time, heroic spirit warriors of the divine kingdom materialized as figures formed from platinum light, appearing with the light screen to block the newcomer.
“The area ahead is the divine kingdom of the Lord of Holy Light, entry is forbidden.”
However, the newcomer’s speed was simply too fast.
He ignored the heroic spirit warriors completely, and before they could react, he charged towards the rune light screen—
This outermost barrier, personally crafted by the God of Holy Light.
Even if He Himself wanted to force his way through, it would take a considerable amount of time to break through it.
But in front of the newcomer, it seemed like mere paper.
It was pierced straight through, offering no resistance at all.
In just a few seconds, the newcomer had crossed thirteen layers of barriers and reached the interior of the divine kingdom, entering the core of the divine kingdom, standing before the God of Holy Light.
He felt the overwhelming and surging life force of the stranger and was utterly astounded.
This individual was definitely not from their world.
Such a powerhouse could not exist in the Moraka world!
As expected, the newcomer spoke.
“Are you the God of Holy Light?”
The God of Holy Light compared the life forces of both parties and considered the demeanor of the other, who treated the barrier as if it was non-existent.
He promptly put aside the aloofness that came with sitting on the divine throne for so long and conveyed a gentle thought through Holy Light Energy.
“I am, may I know who you are?”
“…”
Indeed, the Moraka civilization was far easier to communicate with than the Earth Cataclysm civilization!
Jiang Chen slightly reined in his aura and began to speak.
“I am a mecha pilot from the civilization of Planet Blue Star, Jiang Chen.”
“The situation is urgent, and I have acted rashly, please understand…”
“Wraiths from the Void have set their sights on your civilization and have opened a rift channel, preparing to launch an attack…”
“I am here to help you resist the abyssal monsters…”
“Void Wraiths, abyssal monsters?”
Following Jiang Chen’s directions, the God of Holy Light dispatched heroic spirit warriors to investigate.
As expected, they quickly discovered a narrow Void Rift.
Around the rift, many monsters from the Void had already appeared.
There were countless in number, and among them were several dozen whose aura could compare to that of divinities (4th Rank)!
It’s worth noting that after the God battle, the Moraka world was left with only eight divinities!
In numbers, they were far less than these Void monsters.
Even though the God of Holy Light, as the Chief Deity (5th Rank), was confident in eradicating these monsters…
According to Jiang Chen, these were merely the vanguard of the first wave.
The truly powerful abyssal monsters were still behind the Void Rift, attempting to traverse the Void.
This was an apocalyptic enemy capable of annihilating everything!
The God of Holy Light, realizing this, felt a sense of powerlessness rise within.
“I apologize, we have just experienced a God battle not long ago, with many chief deities fallen, leaving only myself.”
“There are only seven God Followers left.”
“Facing the great Void army, even if we all take action, we would be of little help to you…”
Just when the God of Holy Light felt despair.
Jiang Chen’s voice rang out.
“Help?”
“I didn’t say I needed your help.”
“These Void monsters, I can handle them myself.”
“…What?”
The God of Holy Light was stunned.
Jiang Chen had come to give a warning and had described these Void Wraiths as exceedingly fearsome.
He referred to them as Legendary Overlords, beings that had destroyed countless civilizations…
The God had thought Jiang Chen was speaking of these things because he was seeking assistance, wishing Him to lead the Holy Light Empire and numerous divinities to fight against the calamity.
But, in the end…
You can handle it on your own?
And us?
Are we supposed to merely be spectators?
Fortunately, Jiang Chen continued to speak and explain his purpose.
“I said, the reason I came is to help you resolve this catastrophe and protect your civilization.”
“You don’t need to act; just being aware of this situation is enough—”
“Because, I can only help you once.”
“Catastrophes are endless.”
“Even if I help you repel the Void Wraiths’ invasion this time, there will be more monsters in the Void coveting your world, looking to devour you.”
“…”
The God of Holy Light suddenly understood, yet felt somewhat bitter.
“But indeed, we don’t have the power to combat the Void…”
“Our Moraka world, even at its peak, only had five chief deities.”
“Once you leave, and the Void rises again, Moraka will still be unable to escape destruction.”
Jiang Chen had been waiting here just for this.
He revealed a smile.
“That’s why, I will leave behind a legacy known as the ‘mecha pilot’.”
“As long as you grasp this power and develop it…”
“You will be able to possess the power to resist the Void, to fight against the monsters of the Endless Abyss!”
“Mecha pilot?”
In the Moraka world, there were occupations such as “mage,” “warrior,” “thief,” etc.,
but there was no concept of a mecha pilot.
The only thing related to mechas was the odd Goblin Robots built and piloted by a once goblin alien tribe.
Hence, the term “mecha pilot,” through the Universal Translator,
became associated in the mind of the God of Holy Light with “Goblin Robot,”
Those cumbersome creatures, though somewhat forceful and effective on the battlefield among mortals,
were exceedingly fragile before true Demigods.
Could such things stand against Void monsters?
As the God of Holy Light pondered with confusion,
Jiang Chen took out a special decoding device and quickly infused the God with information related to the mecha pilot system.
As a 5th Rank deity, He had an immense capacity to endure, and He swiftly digested the information.
He nodded in sudden realization.
“I understand now.”
…
In the Holy Light Empire, within the great cathedral,
the Holy Light Pope, who was also the supreme ruler of the Empire, was reverently worshiping the deities when he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.
He felt as though he was in the divine kingdom, gazing upon the towering form of the divinity, hearing the oracle of Holy Light.
“Tell the people.”
“The God of Myriad Machines, has descended.”
