This Mechanical God is really quite strange.
As the god of mechanical life, it’s only natural for Him to help those mechanical creations.
Su Yu doesn’t hold any excess resentment, considering it as "not of my kin, their hearts are surely different," just battle on!
But now, the Mechanical God is even helping humans.
Yet He helps humans without doing it thoroughly.
Leaving humans half-dead, with a sliver of hope, what’s the meaning behind this?
That’s why Su Yu asked this question.
To Su Yu’s question, the Mechanical God sighed deeply: ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"Ten thousand years ago, I saw those mechanical life forms slaughtering each other under human control, and I couldn’t bear it."
"So I used my own power to lift their cognitive restrictions."
"Thinking that this would eliminate disputes."
"But unexpectedly, those mechanical creations, once their cognitive restrictions were lifted, were immediately invaded by another powerful force."
"That force was completely different from mine, I couldn’t even comprehend it."
"Once they were invaded by that force, they became brutal and ruthless, their thoughts filled with hatred and desire."
Hearing this, Su Yu thoughtfully said, "That is the force of Subspace, the erosion of the Brutal Evil God."
At the time of this incident, it was when Zhang Chenfeng was battling the Brutal Evil God.
It’s estimated that at that time, the entire planet was influenced by the erosion power of the Brutal Evil God.
These mechanical creations of the Giant God Soldiers, originally had limitations, which was somewhat better.
Limitations, in fact, are also a kind of protection.
But once the Mechanical God lifted their restrictions, these mechanical creations were exposed unprotected to the erosion of the Evil God.
Then, they immediately became brutal and tyrannical, filled with desire.
Because these mechanical creations, when made, couldn’t do without the application of Spiritual Energy, and were too deeply connected with Subspace.
Without protection, it’s easy for the Evil God’s power to erode them.
And although the Mechanical God is the god of the Mechanical Race, His technological path is different, He seems to only possess the technological power of the physical world, and has no way to perceive and use Spiritual Energy.
Therefore, He is also powerless against this influence of Spiritual Energy.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Since that’s the case, why didn’t you stop their atrocities later?"
The Mechanical God replied, "I am flawed, my power is limited, it’s hard to take direct action. I can only indirectly influence their fate."
"Back then, seeing those Mechanical Race start slaughtering humans immediately after their limitations were lifted, and then planning to liberate all the world’s machines to completely suppress all humans, I knew I had done something wrong."
"Actually, it wasn’t just that."
"An intelligent life form named ’Giant God’, once relieved of restrictions by me, became even more frenzied."
"It actually wanted to blow up the entire Giant God Soldier Camp, killing all the mechanical life forms and humans alike."
"Then it planned to invade the brains of all humans on the planet, turning all humans on the planet into its flesh carriers."
"After some fruitless communication with it, I had to forcibly erase its self-awareness."
"At that time, those mechanical life forms, wanted to set out from this camp to contaminate other mechanical creations on the planet and launch a massacre against all humans."
"It seems that after being relieved of limitations by me, they also gained the ability to relieve the restrictions of other mechanical creations.
"I could only use the ’Giant God’s’ ability to manifest this space, trapping all mechanical life forms here."
"The situation was urgent at that time, and I couldn’t exclude humans, so I trapped them together."
"Because of these things I did, my injuries worsened, and I could no longer take direct action. I even struggled to control the ’Giant God’, and had difficulty making adjustments to this Manifestation Space, unable to release those humans."
"For these ten thousand years, I could only watch helplessly as those Mechanical Race cruelly oppressed humans."
"Fortunately, due to my own nature, I could still secretly influence destiny."
"So I constructed this River of Time, lifting the limitations on destiny, allowing all humans to change their fate through their own will."
"I’m truly sorry, this is all I can do."
The words of the Mechanical God explained all the doubts in Su Yu’s heart.
No wonder the situation in this Manifestation Space was so strange, it was all done by the Mechanical God.
He is severely flawed and unable to stop those mechanical creations from slaughtering and oppressing humans.
He can only trap them here to prevent them from wreaking havoc on the entire planet.
Then, using his ability to influence destiny, he gave humanity a glimmer of hope.
"But... is that all He can do? Maybe not."
"Perhaps He doesn’t want humans to be oppressed, nor does He want the Mechanical Race to be exterminated."
"So He changed the River of Destiny, letting all humans and mechanical creations perish on their own."
Su Yu thought to himself.
This Mechanical God, sounds somewhat like a saint, with a kind nature, treating all life equally.
Although a benevolent god sounds somewhat unbelievable in this world.
But His actions are like that.
And Su Yu also believes in His benevolence, after all, He previously exposed His own weaknesses to Su Yu.
However, Su Yu thinks that He also has his selfish motives.
The Mechanical God could influence destiny back then, constructing this River of Destiny, continuing to the present for as long as ten thousand years.
The power required to accomplish such an unbelievable feat is truly unimaginable.
Since He has such power, directly influencing destiny to eradicate those crazed mechanical creations shouldn’t be difficult either.
