World Version Updates Everyday

But once the Intelligent Machinery City leaves the core territory, without the protection of the core rules, who knows how many versions will secretly act to destroy it."

"The Intelligent Machinery City is our core and absolutely cannot be used lightly!"

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by all the Mechanical Senators.

The Data Upload Senator half-jokingly added:

"Unless... he enters the core territory himself, then we can suppress him using the Intelligent Machinery City without hesitation."

All the senators present seemed to have heard a cold joke, shaking their heads one after another.

Entering the core territory of the Intelligent Machinery City, even in its weakest moments, no force has ever possessed this ability.

As the atmosphere in the council gradually relaxed, scarlet lights suddenly flashed in the council hall, followed by the mechanical mainframe's rigid voice echoing throughout.

"Celestial Satellite Invader!"

"Number of Invaders: 1"

All Mechanical Senators immediately showed expressions of shock, and then a virtual screen rose above the round table, displaying a figure to all the senators.

A brilliant light tore through the sky, it was Lu Yan's swiftly fleeting figure, leaving a dazzling trail of light beneath the firmament.

"It's him!"

"He actually came!"

The senators wore expressions of disbelief, unable to imagine that Lu Yan, a mere demonic true heir, would dare to invade the Intelligent Machinery City.

"Does he think, with the Prophet Mecha redirected from the Intelligent Machinery City, he can single-handedly overthrow the entire city?"

"Bold and reckless, he must face the consequences!"

However, at this moment, the core rules of the Intelligent Machinery version were activated, causing countless ripples of rules to appear in the sky. Nine massive rule chains descended from the horizon, each emanating a daunting pressure.

These chains, like living creatures, wound towards Lu Yan like nine divine dragons, exuding a chilling metallic luster. Their surfaces flowed with dense data streams, carrying the power of unimaginable rules, as if bearing all beings of this realm.

"It's the Ninefold Shackles!"

The senators showed a look of excitement, as if saying "as expected."

Throughout the history of the Intelligent Machinery City, all who dared to step into the core territory have ended up suppressed.

"To reach here, he ranks among the best in the several thousand year history."

"A mere demonic true heir cannot possibly resist the core rules."

But just as the Ninefold Shackles were about to touch Lu Yan, he surprisingly changed direction and actively collided with the shackles.

The Unchanging characteristic can traverse numerous versions, transcending all version rules, how could it be suppressed forcefully by a single version fragment?

Boom!

The clash of rules erupted in mid-air, countless dazzling points of light blossomed in the void, and under this tremendous force, the Ninefold Shackles broke inch by inch, turning into countless rule fragments scattered through the air. These fragments shimmer with mysterious light, each containing the Power of Origin of rules.

Lu Yan seemed accustomed to such a situation, a brilliant gleam flashed in his eyes, and the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed from his ten-layer Dao Foundation radiated mystical light.

The scattered rule fragments seemed to receive a summons, converging towards him and merging into the chaotic great sun within him.

Each fragment that integrated caused a slight energy fluctuation, and peculiar Dao textures spread across the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed.

After entering the Intelligent Machinery version fragment, Lu Yan has devoured the rule fragments of the Ninefold Shackles three times.

As the shackles collapsed, Lu Yan wantonly devoured the rule fragments, throwing the version fragment into turmoil once again.

Celestial phenomena changed, earth trembled, the Land of Steel was forcibly torn open into a chasm, revealing a bottomless fissure.

On the horizon in the distance, the enormous outline of the Intelligent Machinery City faintly appeared, looking particularly menacing under the gloomy sky.

Within the council hall of the city, all Mechanical Senators stared at the scene on screen with expressions of stupor.

Impossible to understand, impossible to imagine.

In the past recorded thousands of years, no one has ever broken through the suppression of the core rules.

Yet today, Lu Yan could reach such a point as a mere ordinary human, almost plunging the senators' algorithms into logical contradiction.

The first to react was the Brain-in-Vat Senator, who exclaimed loudly:

"Activate final battle permissions!"

The other Mechanical Senators roared as if awakening from a dream:

"All Guardian Star Level and Secondary War Fortress ascend!"

"Commence Antimatter Floating Cannon array!"

"Even if depleting all resources, we must stop him outside the Intelligent Machinery City!"

The sky trembled, the entire Intelligent Machinery City awakened like a living behemoth.

Deafening roars arose from the depths of the earth, rising slowly— a dark silver giant sphere with a diameter of a kilometer—the ultimate weapon of the Intelligent Machinery City, combining the All Immortals Alliance's treasure system and Intelligent Mechanism Technology into Myriad Manifestations of Heaven's Craftsmanship: Nanometer Ruins.

Its surface wasn't static metal but flowing metallic ripples, like the veins of a living creature, continuously writhing, radiating a profound technological pressure.

In an instant, the world changed color, trillion-level Spirit-Devouring Nanoworms erupted from the Nanometer Ruins giant sphere, forming a sky-covering metal storm.

Spirit-Devouring Nanoworms are specially crafted to devour alien energy, whether Cultivator's magical power, Celestial Martial Artist's true essence, or demigod's divine power, they accept all without exception.

More terrifying is their ability to pass through a fractional version with genocidal-power by exponentially multiplying through alien energy digestion.

Massive swarms of Spirit-Devouring Nanoworms masked the sky, consuming even light wherever they reached, like a rift being torn in the heavens, as if doomsday had arrived.

High above, ten gigantic suns suddenly manifested, belonging to ten Antimatter Annihilation Cannon muzzles, each harboring an energy enough to obliterate all.

The brilliance within the muzzles intensified, like rapidly expanding solar masses, twisting the void and poised to unleash a world-destroying strike.

On the ground, the Intelligent Machinery City closed all external channels, its metallic hull overlaying countless Phase Refraction Shields to form a perfect defense network, reflecting every attack infinitely until force-depleted.

The omnipresent pathways throughout the land were activated, marking the opening of the Laplace Demon Omniscience Calculation Center.

This is the computational core of the Intelligent Machinery City, its thousands-year transformation allowing the Laplace Demon Omniscience Calculation Center to touch every corner of the version fragment, weaving countless data streams into a seamless surveillance network.

It can predict every possible outcome, calculate the result of every action, but because its energy consumption is excessively high, continuous operation would strain the entire version fragment, so for most times it remains dormant.

The activation of the Laplace Demon Omniscience Calculation Center signifies the full eruption of the fragment's foundation.

Faced with such terrifying formation, Lu Yan revealed a mysterious smile.

Without using any Divine Power Skill, Lu Yan's lips moved subtly, uttering six words.

"Initiate version update!"

With the utterance of these words, the entire realm seemed to pause instantly.

Amid the void, countless hairline cracks emerged, rules' structures became visibly clear but quickly descended into chaos. All Intelligent Mechanism Technology creations relying on version fragments sensed a lethal threat as their foundation—the version rules—started collapsing.

The metallic ripples on the surface of Myriad Manifestations of Heaven's Craftsmanship: Nanometer Ruins suddenly solidified, then started cracking, as the Spirit-Devouring Nanoworm swarm lost control, showering down like rain.

The energy within the ten Antimatter Annihilation Cannons became unstable, emitting ear-piercing alarms, as the Phase Refraction Shield's energy fields began to warp, creating numerous revelations in the defense network, even causing Laplace Demon's calculations to fall into chaos, with innumerable erroneous data decomposing in the void.

At this moment, the once proud technological creations fell into paralysis, incapable of performing even basic calculations. The version update's turmoil swept like a tsunami across the entire fragment world, pushing everything to the brink of collapse.

Yet in the following second, a string of messages popped up before Lu Yan's eyes.

[Current version update progress: 18%, update progress less than 100%, version update failed!]

The rules that had been overturning began to recover, but although rules could reverse, those Intelligent Mechanism creations anchored to version rules could not reverse.

Lu Yan gazed upon everything within the version fragment, his right hand gripping the Human Emperor Banner dropping into his palm.

In the next moment, the decree fell.

"Kill!"

Amidst the Human Emperor's Qi filling the sky, the Underworld army descended!
