The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 74: Chapter 72: Dawn

Star God Forbidden Area.

The three-person team from the Dusk Society showed reverence as they quietly waited.

Just as the vortex of thunderclouds completely disappeared, beside them, the giant ritual array that had long been prepared glimmered, as if activated.

“The moment has arrived.”

“May our master descend here!”

Amidst the fervent cries, the three advanced in unison, chanting obscure murmurs, their voices echoing.

They were reciting the name of the Divine Spirit.

Accompanied by the murmurs, the ritual array they arranged trembled slightly, containing a mysterious aura, awakening from slumber at this moment. Completely activated, blood-red beams shimmered from the center of the array, spreading to every corner, colliding and erupting, ascending, and casting onto the sky!

The blood-red beams connected heaven and earth, projecting eye patterns on the sky. From a distance, three beams rose simultaneously, all positioned outside the forbidden area.

The pupils glimmered on the sky, vivid and lifelike, resembling three celestial wells, as if beings of higher dimensions cast their gaze through these three pupils.

As the blood-red beams rose, the three, with reverent expressions and continuous murmurs, had their clothes torn apart in an instant. Their exposed skin twisted, and within a few breaths, their bodies swelled incessantly, unrecognizable in human form.

It was a mutation!

They had learned and memorized the arrangement methods of the ritual, but to maintain their purity and enter the forbidden area, they had not genuinely embarked on the cultivation path of Esoteric Buddhism, nor had they truly connected with their Divine Spirit.

Now, the ritual was truly launched.

The mysterious power contained within instantly polluted their physiques and influenced their spirits, causing them to mutate.

The three seemed unaware, and in their reverent murmurs, their vocal organs changed too, their voices gradually blurred until they were entirely silent, their mouths opening and closing but no sound emerging, becoming grotesque creatures.

…

Frontline Base.

Federation Command Headquarters.

Senior Lounge.

The Crown Sun Goddess stood mid-air, her eyes slightly closed, concealing the two eccentric suns.

At that moment…

She sensed something and suddenly opened her eyes, looking through the porthole toward the forbidden area.

The three blood-red beams shooting straight into the sky were particularly conspicuous, projecting pupils on the sky that emitted a discomforting aura.

“They have truly moved.”

The sun in her eyes stopped rotating for two seconds, her body rose into the air like an illusion, passing through the porthole, hovering above the Command Headquarters building.

At this moment, the frontline base had already turned into a battlefield.

Yet, everything outside seemed unrelated to her.

The Crown Sun Goddess clasped her hands together, forming a special gesture, the eccentric sun in her eyes cracked suddenly, power activated.

In her vision, the vast forbidden area turned into an overhead map, with bright spots radiating from four directions: east, south, west, and north.

These were the record points arranged by the Crown Team within the forbidden area according to sect instructions.

Nine metal columns connected with each other, and a blood-red sun manifested above. At this moment, the Crown Sun Goddess spread her hands, lightly touching the void before her.

Invisible power swept across the void, merging into the four record points.

The blood-red sun’s radiance spread, appearing replenished with power, gaining a touch of divine charm amidst flickers.

Compared to the three beams of light brought forth by the Dusk Society, the arrangement by the Crown Sect was exceptionally covert, the blood-red sun’s radiance gradually turning transparent, seemingly hidden completely.

The remnants of the eccentric sun in her eyes reassembled, and the Crown Sun Goddess gazed at the distant sky.

At that instant,

Tang Qian’s voice echoed by her ear.

“It seems we weren’t busy for nothing.”

“Since you have intervened, maybe you could help us resolve the trouble here?”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Sun Goddess’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

A moment later, her brows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her graceful face.

“Alright.”

The next instant,

Her figure soared into the air, darting toward the distant battlefield.

There, creatures crawling out of the abyss multiplied, yet the frontline was firmly held, allowing no retreat.

The frontline base was already garrisoned by Federation Warriors, alongside powerful figures from different factions within the Star Sea, as the frontline bolstered by time, beginning to counterattack the abyss!

The anomalies within the forbidden area were detected by the powerful figures within the base.

Similarly, some attempted to move and check.

With the Star God’s power thoroughly restrained, the current forbidden area bore only its name, lacking its true essence, no longer posing suppressive effects to these powerful figures from different systems, not originating from the Mining Star.

However…

As they moved, a voice imbued with mechanical intent sounded by their ears.

“I am Tang Qian, the Federation’s chief officer stationed at the Mining Star.”

“Within the forbidden area is not our battlefield.”

“Everyone must unite, with the primary goal of resolving the meteorite disaster!”

…

Outside the Mining Star.

Star Sea, Judgment Legion flagship.

Legion Commander Duan Junyou sat boldly in the command room, at the head of the conference table.

The moment the frontline base encountered changes, he had already received the information. Now, overlooking the starry sky, he gazed at the surface of the Mining Star, observing those disturbing eye patterns, his gaze turned grave: “At last, they couldn’t help but take action.”

Compared to his previously aged appearance, he now exhibited the vigor of youth, exuding a keen edge, as if his ambitions of yore had returned to him.

Images from all angles of the Mining Star projected onto the big screen in the command room.

At both ends of the conference table, stood a dense array of figures, with a few in their true form, and many joining via projection.

These were the commanders above a certain level within the Judgment Legion.

“Gentlemen.”

Duan Junyou stood from his chair, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room, his voice steady: “Are we all ready?”

His words were met with an overwhelmingly spirited battle cry breaking through the sky.

The crowd was fervent.

“Since that’s the case.”

“I declare, the Judgment Legion’s ninth superspace level campaign, officially begins.”

“Code name: Dawn!”

After dusk, the world falls into darkness.

At dawn, heaven and earth greet the light again.

Dawn is the death of dusk!

Once his words fell, about several seconds later.

Throughout the vast Star Sea, outside the Mining Star, within the Judgment Legion starships stationed here, piercing AI alarms sounded almost simultaneously.

“Unknown limit-breaking level individual rapidly approaching detected.”

“Limit-breaking level: Unknown.”

“Identity confirmation in progress…”

“Identity confirmed, Federation registered Divine Spirit——”

“Pursuing Star’s Eye——Nisela.”

“Target executing ultra-long-distance teleportation, without prior communication with the Federation.”

The alarm continued to loop.

Amidst the piercing alarm sound.

The flagship command room’s screen shifted to focus on the Endless Star Sea.

The Star Sea was vast, aside from various celestial bodies, space debris, and meteorite areas, it appeared chaotic and mystically dark.

Now.

On the screen displaying the Star Sea, the inherently dark Star Sea seemed to have silently been coated with an ink-like hue, becoming increasingly enigmatic.

It was a true Cosmic Divine Spirit, traversing the Star Sea, swiftly nearing!
