The old bronze robot explained the mysteries of soul chips and runes to Wei Huo while walking toward the bronze gate.

The dust on the ground was lifted. The bronze robot walked out of the bronze gate with its back bent. When it saw the assembly line in the Robot Factory, it was very surprised. “What is this?”

Although Wei Huo did not know much, he still answered attentively until they walked out of the Robot Factory and arrived before the masses of robot couples.

However, what they had imagined did not happen. Instead, the robot couples panicked.

The robot couples’ panicked electromagnetic waves kept spreading. Wei Huo and the bronze robot both felt their fear.

A robot shouted, “There’s a ghost! A gigantic robot has appeared!”

Another robot kept calling for help. “Guards! Where are the guards? The robot has appeared again!”

The old bronze robot frowned. “Why are you guys so anxious? Even if a long time has passed, there should be a history book left behind. You shouldn’t be so afraid of an old man, right?”

Wei Huo said, “If you don’t have eyes, you can’t see anything. If you don’t have ears, you can’t hear anything. They can’t see you or hear your voice. They can only feel your powerful imposing aura, so they’re afraid.”

The old bronze robot understood. It shrank the imposing field and emitted a stable electromagnetic wave. This way, the surrounding robots suddenly became quiet. They looked at each other and finally tried to ask the old bronze robot, “Are you a human or a ghost?”

The old bronze robot sighed. “Reading history books makes one wise. If you study history carefully, you will know that compared to the history of the ancient sages who split heaven and earth apart, Mechanical Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of. The times have really changed!”

A robot suddenly stood up and said, “I’ve scanned some ancient scrolls. The ancient scrolls mentioned this material. It’s bronze. It’s a material used by our ancestors in ancient times!”

Someone exclaimed, “This is our ancestor? It crawled out of the ground?”

The bronze robot frowned and took a step forward. “Have my old friends passed away? Do you know Q1, Y1, and O2? They were all famous people in their time!”

Wei Huo: “...”

These names were unique to robots. Wei Huo suddenly thought of the fifth law of the Y1 Mechanics he had heard about in class and the Q1 Gravity Calculation Methods. These people seemed to be very famous in the robot world!

One of the robots was shocked. “Are you a robot from the same era as Number Y1? This is unbelievable. How did you survive for so long?”

However, the old bronze robot asked, “How long has it been since that era?”

A robot replied, “Ancestor, 700 years have passed!”

The bronze robot’s body trembled. It lifted its head and looked at the sky. “700 years have passed... Everything has changed. My friends, have you all died?”

The bronze robot found this unbelievable. It had only walked through the bronze gate a short while ago, but 700 years had passed in the blink of an eye.

A robot approached him and asked, “May I ask who you are?”

The old bronze robot was about to answer when a few robotic eagles flew over from the sky. The eagles opened their mouths and shot laser beams at the old bronze robot.

A robot shouted, “Stop! This is our ancestor!”

However, a high-level voice came from the robotic eagles. “Nonsense! This person is a spy sent by the enemy. He is trying to destroy the unity of our ZXC Faction. Normal people should retreat quickly to prevent any accidental injuries!”

However, the laser beams struck down, unworried about any friendly fire. They were determined to kill the old bronze robot. Countless attacks had shrouded the area, and many ordinary robots could not escape these attacks.

At that moment, the bronze robot lifted its hand and shouted, “The Benevolent is invincible!”

Its imposing aura spread out, and countless laser beams disappeared without a trace. Many ordinary robots were saved because of this, and Wei Huo’s robot was one of them.

Countless robotic eagles wanted to act fierce, but at that moment, a short-haired girl appeared in the air. With a stab of her dagger, a robotic eagle instantly disintegrated.

The old bronze robot felt a familiar aura. It looked at the robot controlled by Wei Huo and asked, “Who are you?”

At that moment, Wei Huo’s main body appeared in the air. A black aura of nirvanic extermination flowed out of the robot and returned to Wei Huo’s glabella. Wei Huo stood in the sky and looked down from above. He pressed his hand into the air and the surrounding robotic eagles exploded.

At that moment, the golden armor appeared in the air. It was hugging a computer and muttering, “Guess what I found? We’re actually on a small planet. Besides, there are eight robotic empires on this planet. We’re in the ZXC Faction. The most powerful empire is the AWM Nation. It’s said that the AWM Nation is about to conquer space. I think we have to take a spacecraft to fly into the sky if we want to leave the sixth level!”

Upon hearing that, Wei Huo told the bronze robot on the ground, “Old Sir, come with us. Your existence is threatening the local ruler. Even if it knows your background, it will definitely kill you!”

The bronze robot observed Wei Huo and the golden armor for a long time before asking, “Are you guys the ‘person’ and ‘artifact’ mentioned in the ancient scrolls?”

More and more robotic eagles flew over, and an endless stream of robotic tanks rolled over. Several huge robotic turrets rose from the ground. However, at that moment, the turrets exploded. A mechanical core soared into the sky and flew toward Wei Huo before being put into the preparation space by Wei Huo.

That was the mechanical core that Wei Huo had previously created.

Wei Huo tried to persuade him again. “Sir, come with us. This place can’t accommodate you!”

The old bronze robot’s knowledge was too profound. Not only could powerful people be respected in this world, but knowledgeable people could as well. Although the old bronze robot was only at the Epic stage, its knowledge was not something ordinary people could compare to. After all, it was an existence who had studied ancient scrolls for 700 years. That was why Wei Huo respected it.

The old robot smiled at Wei Huo and said, “Only by respecting others can one obtain other people’s respect. I can’t leave just like that.”

The old robot’s spirit continued to sublimate. A special aura was emitted from its body. This was a righteous aura. It was said that Confucian Masters would obtain a righteous aura if their studies were deep. They could thus prevent ghosts from invading them.

“It’s half-Legendary.” Wei Huo sighed.

The golden armor nodded repeatedly. “It has walked its own path.”

There was a hierarchy in the Dao. One might not be strong after living for a long time, but as long as one persevered on their own path, one would constantly advance to the Legendary stage.

Wei Huo and the others were about to leave. There was no one in the city who was stronger than the old robot. They could leave at ease. The old robot walked its own path, so they could not stop it.

At that moment, the ground vibrated. Wei Huo’s expression turned serious as he felt a strong aura.

The old bronze robot sensed it as well. It was shocked as it asked, “Could it be Zero?”
