Chapter 322 The Fifth Pet, Red Hare, is Born! Celestial King! Legendary Beast! Evolution of Sparklin
Chapter 322 The Fifth Pet—Red Hare is Born! Celestial King! Legendary Beast! Evolution of Sparkling Oil
Because the Dark Star Domain is not far from the Machine King Domain, the little spider tore through the void continuously and arrived in just one day.
He even chatted with the Holy Maiden for a while. It was as if the girl had flipped a switch; her wild conversation left Lu Yu in awe.
This nobody dares to invite him to the border to engage in verbal sparring!
Is Lu Dashanren the kind of person who enjoys arguing?
The saintess was too arrogant, so we needed to teach her a lesson.
Although four days had passed since Lao Wu's repair shop sent the message, and Lu Yu had spent a day and a half raiding and wiping out the family, it was still a day ahead of the agreed five days.
Lu Yu's style is that he will always arrive ahead of time for agreed-upon matters, never late, and everything is prepared in advance to prevent any unforeseen events.
But he didn't expect that he wouldn't have any problems, but rather the entire Mechanical King Domain...
It seems there's a big problem!
The sight before him made Lu Yu think he had come to the wrong place.
"This is... the Domain of the Machine King!?"
What appeared before him was not the magnificent Gate of Machines that he had seen before, encompassing the entire Machine King Domain, but a colossal one...
Metal Planet!
Its exterior is composed of gates of machinery and countless gears and metal pipes, like giant snakes crawling over their prey. It is filled with all kinds of wires, densely packed. With each operation, black steam is emitted, which stirs up rolling black clouds that cover hundreds of thousands of miles.
Crackling sounds!
Within these black clouds, countless arcs of eerie blue and red electricity flashed, far more terrifying than the thunderstorms Lu Yu had previously encountered, which were spawned by the Church of Storms.
And this is just the impurities discharged during its operation.
Humans are no bigger than a speck of dust compared to it.
boom!
This mechanical planet, comparable in size to the former Mechanical King's Domain, slowly rotated, spreading a mysterious magnetic field that swept across the world. Floating in the air, golden liquid continuously seeped from the gaps in its countless metal parts, but it did not fall to the ground.
Instead, under the influence of the magnetic field, it floats in the air, gradually gathers, and transforms into a golden liquid star ring that is constantly changing. Billions of data streams rush past, and the intertwined magnetic fields affect the gravity of the world.
Even from a distance, Lu Yu could feel the vast, ocean-like energy fluctuations within, a power filled with both chaos and order, giving one a suffocating feeling.
Like an ant on the beach, facing a massive tsunami, the mere splashes of water from its casual slapping are enough to drown it.
The sheer amount of energy contained within it surpasses even the level of ancient giants, and is far beyond the reach of even ecological masters.
After all, this represents the power of an entire domain.
perhaps……
Only a true king can compare to him!
"Is this the legendary combat readiness mode? It looks like Cybertron!"
Lu Yu made a comment, thinking of the secret Lilith had mentioned before.
It wasn't that he liked the succubus in the large wooden cabinet, but rather that, as a commoner, a large amount of top-level extraordinary knowledge was monopolized and difficult to access.
The Imperial Capital University library does have records, but they are too disorganized to find valuable information in a targeted way. The Eye of Truth lacks sufficient spiritual support and cannot see high-level information, so most of the time we can only rely on Lilith, the encyclopedia.
Lu Yu would often try to chat with her, greedily absorbing knowledge, to the point that Lilith was already crying out that she couldn't take it anymore and begging him to slow down.
Getting back to the main point, according to Lilith, the Machine King Domain is actually only half the size of other major domains because it was transformed from various metal-poisoned lands that are unsuitable for human habitation.
There is no difference on ordinary days, and it does not affect normal business trade.
However, if humanity faces a crisis, the Gate of All Machines will activate, transforming the entire Machine King Domain into a legendary machine called the [Heavenly Machine King].
This is a miraculous machine created under the leadership of the Alliance, by countless mechanics, over hundreds of years, using countless resources, and drawing on the residual technology of the Spirit Machine Kingdom.
Once activated, it burns massive amounts of resources every second, instantly granting the user pseudo-king level or even, for a short time, true king level combat power.
In theory, it would only take one minute to destroy a large domain, provided there is no True King of the same level or a secret treasure to protect it.
It is one of the fundamental strengths that allows the Human Alliance to dominate the world!
The ultimate dream of the eight mechanical factions is to transform themselves into true mechanical kings, then enter the High Council and obtain a seat.
To become one of the leaders of the entire human race!
"This shouldn't be the complete form of the Celestial Machine King, otherwise all the matter in the Machine King Domain would be burned away, and I would be shattered even if I got close."
"It's highly likely to be the first form—the Mechanical Star—used to shield itself from external influences. It's probably because the Mechanical Mother, in order to resist the moment of the Silent Moon, directly sealed off the entire Mechanical King Domain through the Gate of All Machines and brought it under her control." Lu Yu pondered, not surprised by this.
This is because it is a very common AI approach: to eliminate all dangers at the source and reduce the mortality rate, but the process can be quite cruel and ruthless.
This is the price to pay for absolute fairness, but overall it's a bit better than the Dark Starfield.
Therefore, artificial intelligence is difficult to replace humans. XP alone cannot comprehend it, let alone the countless miracles created by human thought and will.
Although he expressed his understanding, Lu Yu was somewhat speechless as he looked at the impenetrable metal mechanical star.
"How do I get in?"
Inviting me to pick up Red Hare ≠ Entering the Mechanical King's Domain
The inequality is solved instantly.
However, Lu Yu didn't think Wu Xinyue was playing a trick on him. He guessed that when she sent the message, the Mechanical King Domain hadn't yet entered the Mechanical Star state.
But with his current strength, it's absolutely impossible for him to break through the outer perimeter of the mechanical star by force.
But they couldn't get in, and they were unwilling to have made a wasted trip.
We can't expect him to just crash into this place and die, then become a world-destroying anomaly, can we?

Inside the Mechanical King's Domain.
As the [Heavenly Machine King] entered its first form—the Old Machine Star—the districts originally divided according to different factions were folded over. The eight major factions and the central district became a nine-layered megacity, occupying most of the Machine King's domain.
If someone could look down from the outside, they would see that it is more like a huge mechanical tower, with countless gears turning, and multiple energy sources such as steam and electricity running in parallel, accompanied by the swinging of mechanical arms, displaying the ultimate mechanical beauty.
Outside the tower are numerous ecological secret realms of the Machine King's Domain, which are constrained in the air by the Gate of Machines using a special magnetic field.
Like a satellite, it orbits the tall tower.
"Roar roar roar!"
The countless demon races that originally lived there revolted. The leading overlords and monarch-level mechanical demons felt their lives were threatened and roared, trying to break out of this cage.
They tried their best to keep attacking the light screen!
next moment,
boom!
At the top of the tower, a dark blue ball of light shone like the sun, rippling outwards. Countless streams of information swirled within it, and the immense will it contained swept across the land, causing countless living beings to tremble.
It instantly quelled all the chaos and restored order.
Click click click!
The mechanical mother continued to operate, but the sound of the gears within the ball of light grew increasingly heavy.
The people in the city trembled at the sight, even though they wouldn't be attacked by the guard robots as long as they didn't leave their houses, and food would be delivered to their doors at regular intervals.
But it also made everyone feel imprisoned, like birds in a cage.
If this continues, even without external danger, people will be driven insane. Mechanics just have a low probability of mutation, not that they are immune to mutation.
The only good news is that, starting yesterday, not only were the damaged power equipment repaired and power restored, but the internal regional network was also repaired and put back into operation.
It allows them to communicate.
"Is anyone there? Are the dads home?"
"Hey, I'm here!"
"How long will this continue?"
"I guess the Silent Month must be over by now. This has never happened before. Could it be that the Mechanical Mother is going through menopause?"
"Has the alliance still not figured out the problem? If this continues, they're really in deep trouble!"
"Have the eight mechanical factions still not deciphered the Mech Mother's emergency mechanisms?"
"Stop talking. I'm from the Steam faction. I'm just trying to contact the captains, but all the high-level mechanics have lost contact."
"Help! I have so much work to do outside. I haven't been on duty for so many days, my year-end bonus is going to be gone! Will the league compensate me?"
"Have your mechanical beasts become strange? And what exactly is that black oil?"
"I don't know either. My mechanical dog is already black and leaks oil all the time. It seems even blacker today. I'll try slapping it. It definitely won't dare to bite me..."
"...Are you still alive upstairs?"
"I'm still alive, but my mechanical arm was bitten off. That damn dog actually malfunctioned, which gave me a fright. Luckily, I replaced my friend's mechanical arm with titanium alloy and the faucet switch beforehand, otherwise I wouldn't have anywhere to dry my wet pants."
"You're ruthless! But what kind of titanium alloy is it? Can I take a look?"
"Gay men, get out of the Mechanical Kingdom!"
"..."
Humans are social animals. Once they can stick together, they can comfort each other. In addition, the comments from some silly netizens can also alleviate the fear.
Communication has become the only way to get through the dark times in the Machine King's Domain!
However, many people remain pessimistic about this, after all, the internal order of the Mechanical King Domain is now distorted, the big figures of the eight mechanical factions have disappeared, and the strange black oil pollution continues to spread.
If this continues, it could potentially contaminate the security forces, the mechanical city, and even...
Mechanical Mother!
At that point, they'll be truly finished.
Just as they were talking, they suddenly discovered...
A live stream link appeared in the forum.
"What is this!?"
The people from the Mechanical King Domain were somewhat puzzled. Curious, they clicked on the link, only to be greeted by a large number of screens displaying various images.
Mechanics who attempted to break through the order's blockade were swiftly suppressed by security robots and thrown back into their rooms.
Some evil god cults who wanted to take advantage of the situation were smashed into mincemeat by the hammer-shaped mechanical beasts, and then devoured by the mechanical beast horde contaminated with black oil. Their flesh grew further, and a large number of tentacles wriggled.
Chi Chi Chi!
Within this flesh and blood, a substance resembling white porcelain was born and gradually began to perfect itself.
Boom boom boom!
However, they were quickly engulfed by the white light of the explosion and turned to ashes. The guard robot discovered this and its onboard turret module provided fire support.
During the process, a large number of contaminated mechanical beasts were shattered, and some of their flesh and blood splattered and landed on the guard mechanical beasts.
"Eliminate...destroy...complete...perfect evolution..."
The guard robot's voice became chaotic and disordered, with a lot of electrical noise mixed with hoarse sounds. Inside its metal body, like weeds growing in the cracks of rocks, a large number of scarlet tendons grew out.
It throbbed like a living thing, its eyes flashing with a scarlet light, and began to slaughter its companions.
This is similar to the terrifying contamination capabilities of zombie viruses in movies and TV shows, sending chills down the spines of viewers.
The lights near the ascending passages on each level of the city were all destroyed, and darkness swallowed everything, leaving it pitch black.
But you can vaguely see something wriggling inside, continuing its eerie activity.
"What's this? Is the Mechanical Mother showing us a live stream so we won't get bored?"
"I feel it's more like a warning against rash actions, a crisis education video from the mechanical domain."
"What exactly is this black oil? How can it make the machines grow flesh and blood? Could this all be the work of the Blood Machine faction?"
"Just a regular mechanic from the Blood Machine faction passing by. Thanks for thinking so highly of us, but at most we can only replace mechanical organs with flesh and blood. Besides, even if they really cause trouble, they wouldn't abandon us basic mechanics!"
"Maybe they have no value in united front work. After all, civil engineers can at least be used as dogs, but you bunch of mechanics can eat more than dogs!"
"Damn, that hurts."
"Why isn't there a view of the central urban area at the very top?"
"The pathways to higher levels in different districts seem to be blocked by something; it's too dark to see clearly."
"What the heck is this angle? Where is the camera robot hiding? It feels like an overhead view..."
"I'm numb. Although I enjoy watching live streams, it doesn't mean I want to be part of the antics during those streams."
"..."
Everyone complained, but at least they had something to do to pass the time.
They began searching different live stream windows, trying to find the source of the anomaly, but to no avail. However, some of them discovered a strange live stream window that displayed…
Old Wu's Repair Shop
This mechanic shop, located in the old mechanical district and now on the first floor of the nine-story mechanical tower, is run by Wu Shou, the founder of the Hundred Beasts faction, a pure mechanical power faction. It is not unfamiliar to the people of the Mechanical King Domain; on the contrary, it is a household name.
It is one of the holy lands that countless mechanic apprentices dream of.
The surge in the power of these Blood Machine factions did affect enrollment to some extent, but it did not diminish their status.
What makes it strange is that all the other live stream windows show the street and don't show the interior, but this one shows the layout of the houses inside.
Moreover, inside, a large swarm of golden mechanical bees, contaminated by black oil and now possessing flesh and blood, was frantically attacking a mechanical modification room. The specially made metal roller shutter door was already pitted and dented from being struck by a large number of poisonous needles.
Part of the area has been penetrated, creating holes, although various machines are used to hold it in place and repair it from the inside.
Although there was no explanation, some veteran mechanics quickly analyzed the specific situation.
There must be someone hiding inside, and it seems that in order to prevent contamination by these strange black oils, they shut down the mechanical beasts' energy in advance. However, they did not expect that the pet golden mechanical bees kept inside would be contaminated, becoming the biggest hidden danger.
Because the Golden Bee is small and can fly, it cannot be thrown out like other mechanical beasts.
If this continues, a horrific tragedy could very well occur.
After all, according to the rules set by the Machine Mother, security robots cannot break into private homes, and most people cannot come out either.
There's absolutely no way we can help!
However, the Machine Mother incorporates the original code of absolute fairness and prioritizing the interests of the Machine King Domain, making it impossible to change the rules for one or two people, as that would only lead to greater chaos.
Although it goes against human morality, it is the best way to handle it.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy and shared sorrow, wondering how many people would die in this anomaly and end up as cold statistics.
Perhaps... that includes them too!
Just when they thought the man was surely dead, a mysterious voice suddenly rang out.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
But the next moment, they heard a sound like a great bell, with mechanical beauty, echoing in Old Wu's repair shop, as a powerful mechanical energy gathered.
This scene left many mechanics wide-eyed.
Machine Soul Awakening Ceremony!
The people inside are actually awakening their machine souls, and they've already progressed to the final stage.
That's right. The Golden Mech Bee Swarm was originally just an elite-level monster. Even after being corrupted and mutated by the black oil, it was at most a commander-level monster.
All you need to do is create a mechanical beast and equip it with weapon modules, defense modules, and even a wind-blowing module.
Once the swarm of bees is blown onto the street, the security robots will destroy it upon discovery.
"Keep it up!"
Countless people cheered silently on, which was the mechanic's trust in the machine.
Interior renovation
"So close!"
Wu Xinyue looked anxious and didn't want to recall how she had spent the past few days.
Although the theory has been thoroughly understood, the difficulty of putting it into practice is still beyond imagination, especially since the mechanical spirit contained within Red Hare is exceptionally violent.
Even after using up an entire bag of static mechanical powder from the [Breeding Moon], it was only with great difficulty that the violent spirituality contained within its machinery was suppressed.
Wu Xinyue thought everything would proceed smoothly, but unexpectedly...
The top-grade Awakening Soul Stone, enough to awaken ten peak-level Radiant Moon Monarch Mech Beasts, was used up to barely awaken the Mech Soul of Red Hare.
It's hard to imagine that an ordinary mass-produced motorcycle could be so well-suited to the legendary Blood of Life.
Its foundation has been elevated to a terrifying level!
"This guy, just like its owner, is a complete monster!"
Wu Xinyue complained that the whole process was nerve-wracking; she finally succeeded, but before she could even breathe a sigh of relief…
boom!
The violent mechanical power, which was originally suppressed by the static mechanical powder, surged even more violently, like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
If the previous Red Hare was just a violent bomb, then it is now a live volcano that could erupt at any moment.
Fortunately, she barely managed to undergo the Machine Soul Awakening Ceremony and did not erupt. Otherwise, before the swarm of golden mechanical bees outside could have stormed in, the sheer force of the machine alone would have been enough to burn her to ashes.
Even so, during the process of its mechanical soul being conceived, it shone with brilliance and was extremely hot. Even when the entire cooling equipment was running at its maximum, the entire modification room was still as hot as a furnace.
"Just three more hours and it'll be perfectly over; the Golden Mech Swarm has at least five more hours..."
Wu Xinyue was overjoyed and comforted Chitu:
"You will be born soon. Once the Mechanical King's Domain returns to peace, you will be able to see your master. He probably misses you very much."
The Red Hare Mech Soul, enveloped in the ball of light, seemed to acknowledge her words, and its violent emotions actually calmed down a bit.
Very good!
Wu Xinyue's eyes lit up with surprise. She kept an eye on the outside world through the built-in camera screen, while constantly adjusting the parameters of the Chitu.
One hour...
Two hours...
Two and a half hours...
In just half an hour, Red Hare will be able to awaken.
"The access tokens of the Old Mechanics Guild are only held by the leader and top-level mechanics, and they are all bound to their identities. However, my grandfather once helped the Mechanic Mother solve a big problem and obtained an extra one. And like his private stash, it was hidden in the safe behind the TV in the room, together with his treasures."
Grandpa thought I didn't know, but he's still too naive. First, awaken my Silent Sky Falcon and Mountain-Suppressing Tiger. They both have mid-Morning Star level strength and can reach the highest-level central city area at top speed. Then, use their authority to communicate with the Mechanical Mother. Even if that doesn't work, try to notify the Alliance…”
Wu Xinyue pondered, looking at Red Hare, which had entered its final form, filled with anticipation.
This is a top-tier mechanical beast that she and her grandfather created together!
Soon, she will be able to stand on her own and share her grandfather's burdens.
Just as she was methodically proceeding with the final steps, she suddenly sensed something was wrong...
The roller shutter door hasn't vibrated for over twenty minutes!
The golden swarm of bees is greedy and will not let go of its prey once it finds it. Even when it rests, it will only catch its breath for a maximum of ten minutes.
Why did they stop attacking?
Are they tired? Or have they found new prey?
A bad feeling rose in Wu Xinyue's heart. She turned to look at the monitor, but what she saw outside made her pupils dilate slightly.
After the scarlet tendons grew on the body of the Golden Mech Bees, more eerie black oil oozed out. However, instead of the flesh spreading further, it gradually solidified and turned into a mysterious glazed white porcelain, shimmering with a cold and pale luster under the light.
In just a few breaths, the newly grown flesh on the Golden Bee, except for its thin metal wings, began to be covered with white porcelain.
And they began to overlap, piecing together large amounts of white porcelain, like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, and began to radiate a brilliance similar to that of the evolutionary process.
"Swarm evolution?" Wu Xinyue was stunned. She never expected that the Golden Mech Bee Swarm, after being contaminated by black oil, would be able to develop the ability to evolve as a swarm.
Even in the entire main world, only a few special groups are capable of doing this.
By accumulating a huge population, a powerful super-individual was born!
Turn small things into a whole!
What exactly is smelting oil?
This can no longer be called pollution; it's a miracle of creation!
Click!
However, before Wu Xinyue could think it through, in just a few breaths, it transformed into a giant bee with a white porcelain mask, a bloated body, a height of five meters, and eight pairs of thin metal wings on its back.
Or it could be called the Golden Bee Queen!
"Buzzing!"
Its wings vibrated behind it, producing a piercing, jarring sound that tore through the air and whipped up a gale.
Its aura had suddenly transformed from that of a Commander-level being to that of a Morning Star-level Overlord Demon!
Buzz!
The swarm of golden bees that were originally in other corners of Lao Wu's repair shop were also summoned and surrounded the newborn "Beast King".
"Hiss—"
The golden queen bee's mechanical compound eyes flashed red, and its originally metallic insect legs were now covered with white porcelain, turning into special white gun needles. Then, to Wu Xinyue's horrified gaze, it stabbed at the metal roller shutter door.
Gun of Machines!
boom!
A howling wind easily shattered the barrier that had stood for days, leaving the entire modification room in ruins. Wu Xinyue was also thrown back and slammed hard against the wall.
"It's over!"
Upon witnessing this scene, countless spectators in the Mechanical King Domain closed their eyes.
Sure enough, there aren't that many miracles!
"Cough cough..."
She was severely injured, but fortunately, her grandfather had said that she was naturally strong and was not knocked unconscious. However, upon hearing the buzzing sound, a swarm of bees swept in, opening their ferocious mouthparts.
But the target wasn't Wu Xinyue, but rather...
Red Hare!
They couldn't wait to eat.
"I almost forgot, the Metal Bee swarm loves to gnaw on machinery. If they disturb us, all our efforts will be in vain!"
Wu Xinyue threw out an electronic barrier bomb, which exploded instantly, turning into a blue light screen in an attempt to block it.
However, the Golden Bee Queen only raised her hand and struck, nearly shattering it, leaving countless cracks.
Just one more touch and it will break.
"It's over!"
At this moment, Wu Xinyue felt despair. She never expected that not only would she die, but she would also implicate Chitu!
It will take at least another ten minutes for it to fully awaken its machine spirit.
Moreover, it is a partner that Lu Yu cherishes.
As a mechanic, how can I let down my customers' passion for machinery?
"What should we do? I remember that human spirituality is blessed by the Mother River. If we burn it as nourishment and integrate it into the river, it can also serve as a catalyst for the machine soul, which is the so-called human sacrifice..."
Wu Xinyue recalled an ancient book she had seen in her grandfather's room, which she had marked to demonstrate its feasibility.
It's better for her to sacrifice herself than for everyone to die together.
Thinking of this, Wu Xinyue stretched out her hand, a large amount of soul power surging within her, and reached out towards Red Hare, her gaze resolute as she said:
"Red Hare, you must live well..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wu Xinyue was blasted away by an invisible force.
At the same time, the swarm of golden bees broke through the electromagnetic barrier and rushed in. The queen bee was also preparing to attack, her mechanical compound eyes filled with a crimson color.
boom!
A surge of crimson heat, like the roar of an ancient lava demon, carrying boundless savagery, swept out instantly, igniting a large number of golden mechanical bees and turning them into ashes.
Wu Xinyue collapsed to the ground, her eyes glazed over, because she had just received a message filled with extreme irritation and anger.
The general meaning is...
Don't defile me with your soul!
"Am I being humiliated?"
Wu Xinyue was a little confused, but what concerned her more was that being able to convey meaning meant...
"Hiss—"
The Golden Queen Bee hovered in mid-air, its mechanical compound eyes flashing red light. Sensing an indescribable danger within the modification room, it entered a state of "flaring up."
The audience in the Mechanical King's Domain had no idea what was happening. They stared intently at the screen, holding their breath, their hearts pounding with tension and anticipation.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
With a thud as it stomped on the ground, a crimson figure slowly emerged. Wherever it passed, the metal ground melted, black smoke rose, and hoofprints were left behind.
It walked out step by step and appeared before everyone.
This is a special creature that combines the features of a dragon's head, deer antlers, lion's eyes, tiger's back, bear's waist, snake scales, horse's hooves, and ox's tail. Its entire body has a black and gold mechanical structure, but it looks more like a living creature.
call!
However, it possessed a cold, metallic sheen, and its black-gold eyes were filled with a savage aura capable of destroying everything. The power furnace within its body operated at a high frequency, exhaling black mist with each breath, which swirled around it.
It was like a destructive beast that brought endless calamities!
It was actually a...
Qilin!
PS: This is a long chapter of 7,500 words. Please vote for me! Some readers have been saying that Wu Xinyue is going to fuse, so I thought I'd play around with this a bit, haha. But this is not the complete form of Red Hare. It's just a preliminary form. There will be mechanical gears and more later on. It will also evolve once more through secret food. It will be ridiculously cool.
(End of this chapter)
