Chapter 423: The Mechanical Emperor’s Plan

“My name is Lazar, and I live in No. 2, Building 13, District 4, Genting.

'Lazar, this name was given to me by the great 'Mechanical Emperor' His Majesty Evans himself when I was a baby. It is said that this name once belonged to the Emperor's close friend, and it contains his expectations for me, hoping that I can also become A great alchemist...but unfortunately, I let the emperor down.

"--The reason why I received such an honor is because my parents sacrificed their lives to cover other companions during a path exploration operation."

"Haha, it's still the familiar beginning. If anyone can get my diary in the future, please don't dislike me for being rude. After all, for an old man who is over 250 years old, his soul is close to decay, and he will often forget about it. With this information written down, it’s easy to forget who you are.”

In a mechanical-looking house in the corner of the Floating City's Yunding District, the leg parts still had not been replaced. Lazar, who only used four wheels to make do, turned his greased wrist and inserted it into the connecting slot. The pen inside wrote:

"More than five months have passed since the last time 'Morning Star Shines,' but the young man standing on the statue of the Great Emperor, holding the Mechanical Scripture, still impressed me deeply."

"Even though the Supreme Council didn't say anything to the people later and seemed to have blocked the news, those of me, Old Olney, and Tali. Those of us who have followed the Emperor all know that the appearance of that young man is the return of the Emperor. A harbinger of something!”

“When Chi returns, the morning star will surely shine, and disaster will come.

"When he returns, he will surely lead the morning star out of the realm of darkness and into the world of light.

“I am now extremely convinced that this ‘prophecy is true!

"Since that day, Morningstar City has never lacked energy, and plants for making oil and paper have become plentiful. This has changed the frequency of my journaling from once a week to every day. .

"And more importantly, the arrival of that young man brought hope to the whole city!

"Although the Supreme Council did not reveal any more information, news of the Emperor's imminent return spread throughout the city, while Annick, Eleanor and Olmos just remained silent.

"Silence at this time is not acquiescence, what is it?"

"What's more, I also discovered an interesting thing, that is, from the launch of Morning Star City to the fall, a total of 203 years have passed.

"It has been nearly 202 years and 12 months since the Morning Star fell!

"Although it is baseless, I guess 203 should be a mysterious number. Maybe the Great Emperor will lead us to the bright world on the day 203 comes after the morning star falls.

"A bright world. Even if you die just for the sake of looking at it, it's worth it!

"Little guys born in the Fall Calendar may not be able to understand the obsession of us old people who have followed the Great Emperor. After all, Morning Star City is indeed very bright in this dark world.

"But the emperor told us personally

"Although the morning star is good, compared with the real sun, it is only as bright as a grain of rice."

As Lazar wrote this, he used the "air jet" from his mouth to dry the ink on the paper. When he was about to check if there were any typos, he was shocked to find that all the lights of "Morning Star City" were lit up again!

"The morning star shines. Could it be that the Emperor has returned today? But according to my calculations, it is still a few days or even ten days before the year 203.

Although he was confused, Lazar put on a coat made of "Kars grass" and a top hat made of "blood thorns" as quickly as possible, and went out to rush to the central tower.

On the way, he also saw Old Olney, Tarima, and more people gathered in a team and came to the statue of the Great in the central tower and prayed in unison.

Abner, who was welcomed into the tower by three members of the Supreme Council of "Morning Star City", looked down through the window and saw the scene of people spontaneously praying to the "Mechanical Emperor", and then glanced at the metal statue and The "soul stone" inlaid on the head of the statue reminds me of the contents of Russell's diary:

I take

It’s time to reach the potion formula of ‘General Knowledgeer, Path Sequence 2, ‘Knowledge Tutor’.

"Although the main materials don't need to be taken care of, the church will arrange them. But this ritual is really more evil than I imagined!

"It actually requires me to use alchemy to transform at least five thousand people at the soul level so that they can be closely connected to my soul.

“And the more people there are, the stronger the soul power is, and the better the effect will be.

"Hehe, as a 'mysterious demon,' I can probably guess what the function of this ritual is!

"As far as I know, the knowledge mentor can change the laws of physics to a certain extent, so after drinking the magic potion, there is a high probability that he will suffer the backlash from the 'rules' level."

"And the 'Mysterious Demon' is not as 'absolutely rational' as the 'Reader' demigod, and can also 'think in multiple threads', so this kind of impact can easily lead to getting lost in the rules, or directly losing control."

"Therefore, the essence of this ritual is actually to borrow the calculation power of other people's souls..." Thinking back to this, Abner thought with a hint of surprise on his face.

"It turns out that as the 'Machine Emperor,' I left behind a backup plan because I wanted to be able to get support from the souls of these 'believers' who had been transformed by him when I was resurrected, so that I could overwhelm the current me in one fell swoop. For its leading purpose.

"To put it simply, he stored part of his own power in the cloud in advance, and then retrieved it when he fought with me, so as to suppress me and become the leader.

"And the secret technique that I combined with 'miracle,' 'creation,' and other powers to bring the floating city to reality really needs the cooperation of the 'Machine Emperor' to be successful..." So he was sure that I would use the secret technique right here. 'Resurrection, he fell into his... no, 'me' trap?

"Isn't this too wishful thinking? And the method is not very clever... maybe 'I am also gambling?'

“Well, the Mechanical Emperor is trapped in the ‘Land Abandoned by the Gods,’ and it’s really not easy to plan...

"So even if he has other back-ups besides this 'cloud' technology, they must be in the 'Land Abandoned by God,' over there with the 'True Creator'..."

"Then, if I don't resurrect him now, he can wait until he returns to the Northern Continent before taking action, and there should be no problem.

"As for the cooperation of the 'Machine Emperor'... Haha, I am a 'Miracle Master'. Ah, with most of your memories, wouldn't it be nice to pull out your projection?"

As his thoughts were spinning, Abner glanced at Eleanor and Annick, who had respectful expressions on their faces, then reached forward and grabbed it, and a cool-looking belt appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Abner tied the belt around his waist, took out a card with the word "Mechanical" and inserted it into the card slot.

"Transform!"

The next moment, under the eyes of Eleanor, Annick and Olmos, who were either shocked or excited, "Mechanical Emperor" Evans, who had been away from "Morning Star City" for 203 years, once again returned to the city he built with his own hands. in the floating city.
