The Growth of a God

Chapter 726 8: A New Sun God?

"A new Sun God?"

After briefly instructing Taiyi, Hua She also turned his gaze toward the abnormal high-temperature region.

As the greatest beneficiary of Yao Xin's resurrection of the Jiuge Gods, Hua She was no longer a solitary figure.

Compared to the yet-to-mature Mountain and Sea Gods, the Jiuge Element Gods led by Taiyi significantly shared and reduced Hua She's workload.

If not for fearing Li Hao's anger, Hua She even wanted to hand over all his duties to Taiyi and the others.

After all, the Jiuge Gods had no foundation in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and to regain their peak state, they had to start from scratch step by step.

Of course, every being capable of becoming a god was uniquely gifted and untamed.

Just as Taiyi, temporarily taking over the responsibilities of the "Sun Lord," never intended to remain under Hua She forever.

Since he couldn't become the sole sun of this world.

Taiyi planned to forge a completely different path to godhood.

The divine position of "Sun Lord" could only be considered a transitional role—a way for Taiyi to regain strength and advance further.

Many Jiuge Gods made the same choice as Taiyi.

Everyone wanted to carve out a path different from the previous one in this world where the Father God was born.

Most notably, Yun Monarch is now following Celestial Wound and Jiufeng to learn Qi Cultivation and the Transformation Technique, hoping to become a being that is not limited by divine position or divine format like the Mountain and Sea Gods.

In such a scenario, Hua She had to find another divine willing to patrol the sun before Taiyi, the "temp worker," went on strike.

Truthfully, Hua She initially wanted to find someone among the Mountain and Sea Gods willing to cover for him.

But upon discovering that a new Sun God was emerging.

Hua She thought that personally nurturing a divine might also be a good choice.

"Hmm, if that really is a Sun God."

His gaze pierced through the scorching hot region, and Hua She instantly saw what was happening in the core area.

......................................................

The abnormal high-temperature region, core region.

Crack... crack... crack...

In this area where the heat had melted everything and mighty solar storms blew constantly.

A mechanical metallic alien was rotating slowly yet resolutely, executing the initial order given by its creator.

Crack... crack... crack...

Despite the terrifying heat scorching the metallic alien red-hot and the never-ending solar storm carving streaks on its metallic surface.

The continuously turning axle of the metallic alien still faintly revealed its original form.

This metallic alien was none other than the Mountain and Sea Civilization's manufactured [Detection and Rescue-type Mechanical Structure].

Crack... crack... crack...

This mechanical structure appeared like a shell of gears on the outside, but internally, it was a precise structure made using high-dimensional Expansion Technology.

Every slight turn released special interference particles outward.

These interference particles, while detecting the surrounding environment, also provided a protective function for the structure itself.

Even natural disasters as intense as a solar storm could not impact or damage the precise internal structure of the construct.

However, although external forces could not destroy this mechanical structure, it did not mean it retained complete functionality.

"Self-check program initiated..."

"Life signs detected..."

"Warning! Error! Warning! Error!"

"System anomaly detected, executing return command!"

"Return failed, communication forcibly terminated..."

...

Amidst the noisy clamoring, anyone could tell that the mechanical structure's system program had fallen into a logical loop.

Based on the initial directive set by the Mountain and Sea Civilization, the mechanical structure was supposed to execute a return command upon detecting an anomaly.

Yet, for some unknown reason.

The return command of the mechanical structure conflicted with the exploration command, causing it to be deeply trapped in the solar storm.

Moreover, being exposed to solar storms for extended periods while enduring various high-energy particles seemed to have triggered some sort of mutation in the mechanical structure.

If one were to conduct a high-dimensional expansion on the mechanical structure at this moment, one would find that its internal structure seemed to have undergone a convergence phenomenon.

At the very least, when Shu Hai arrived in this area, the mechanical structure he saw had subtly changed from before.

"A reconnaissance device?"

Standing far at the outer edge of the solar storm, Shu Hai immediately spotted the mechanical structure at the center.

Shu Hai couldn't help but wonder if it was his imagination, but when he saw the mechanical structure, he felt as though he sensed the gaze from the structure itself.

"I remember Feng Rong said its deployment was a non-sentient structure, right?"

Slightly furrowing his brows, Shu Hai did not ignore that peculiarity for a moment.

Because it was not the kind of gaze an autonomous structure should have, it clearly belonged to a sentient being.

"Let's first see if the access command still works."

Under this vicious solar storm, any wireless communication was ineffective.

So Shu Hai decided to first approach the mechanical structure to see if he could modify its internal command through a wired connection.

If feasible, he would likely be able to find out what had happened here from the internal data of the mechanical structure.

However, before Shu Hai could get closer to the solar storm, the mechanical structure issued a warning first.

"Beep!"

"Warning, danger signal detected!"

"Signal source verification—Wuqi Race·Shu Hai!"

"Conducting intelligence and current status analysis, secondary correction of identity signal..."

"Wuqi Race·Shu Hai! High-risk target!"

...

Before Shu Hai could even comprehend what happened, the mechanical structure quickly morphed into a massive cannon barrel.

"Wait! What are you doing? How dare you mark me as an enemy?"

In utter disbelief, Shu Hai's eyes widened as he instinctively dodged aside.

Shoo—Boom!

In an instant, high-energy particles brushed past Shu Hai, nearly blasting him to smithereens.

Seizing this moment, the mechanical structure originally stationed in the solar storm transformed again.

"Protection mode activated!"

"Enemy combat power correction, recommendation... Escape!"

As the cold and mechanical voice issued the command, the mechanical structure unhesitantly flew in the opposite direction.

At this moment, the internal suspension system of the mechanical structure was activated to its fullest extent.

In combination with its newly formed turbojet thruster, it quickly turned into a red electric light and disappeared from Shu Hai's field of view.

"What the heck is that thing!? Why did it activate protection mode!"

Staring in disbelief at the retreating mechanical structure, Shu Hai took a moment to regain his composure.
