The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

The information content is not long. With each line he read, Zhou Yutang’s brow furrowed even deeper. After he finished browsing and closed the information, his expression had become extremely solemn.

At that moment.

The report sounded again.

"There is an external Starship approaching this area."

"They have undergone identity verification; they are from Wuyuan Academy in the Corridor Star System, led by Wuyuan’s Celestial Human Guide, Gu Huang."

"They arrived really quickly."

Upon recalling the information he had just reviewed, Zhou Yutang’s expression remained unchanged, but he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh in his heart. He turned to look through the light screen at the real-time image displayed in the deep sea, his eyes becoming a bit more steady.

"The repercussions from this mistake are quite astonishing."

"But at least..."

"There is now a high probability that it can be resolved."

With this thought, he spoke: "Please them..."

The words weren’t finished as his voice stopped and he shook his head, saying, "Forget it, there’s been no breakthrough yet; I’ll meet them personally."

...

On the upper platform of the land-ship.

Zhou Yutang stood in military uniform at his original spot, with other figures behind him, while in front, led by Gu Huang, the visitors from Wuyuan Academy looked solemnly.

He stepped forward.

Before Zhou Yutang could speak, Gu Huang’s expression turned cold, and he spoke solemnly: "We need to immediately execute the academy’s emergency protocol, requiring cooperation from the Third Battle Group."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yutang nodded and said, "I need to know information related to Wuyuan’s protocol."

"Your level of authority is not sufficient."

Gu Huang responded, refusing without mercy: "The academy has already contacted the headquarters of the Pioneer Corps, you only need to cooperate."

"Commander Zhou Zhan."

Her voice intensified: "You must understand, had your judgment and assessment not failed, this would not have occurred."

"You are still wasting our time; do you really think... you can bear the responsibility?"

She stared directly at him, with an extremely serious expression, an aura brewing within.

"You..."

Behind Zhou Yutang, someone looked displeased.

Zhou Yutang raised his hand to interrupt, his expression settling into calm.

"In that case, proceed with your actions."

"The Third Battle Group will fully cooperate."

The exchange concluded.

The sea region was sealed off internally and externally, undergoing exploration on various fronts. At this moment... an entire area within the sea was completely isolated, with personnel from the Third Battle Group evacuated, restrictions established to conceal the interior so outsiders could not see inside.

On the land-ship.

Led by Zhou Yutang, the command office of the Third Battle Group watched this scene.

"Commander."

A voice sounded beside him: "Even if there were missing Wuyuan Academy students among them, they are overbearing; this is a Pioneer Corps mission area. How could the Military Department directly consent to such a plan? Even if they reached the Weiyang Star System, it should be us leading the cooperation."

"No."

Zhou Yutang turned his head to look at him, shaking his head: "Wuyuan’s approach has already been very gentle."

"Some information can’t be revealed to you."

"Everyone."

At this point, his voice was particularly calm: "Let’s hope they succeed, or else what happens next will be completely out of our control, and then..."

He didn’t continue speaking.

But his tone was chilling.

The moment the restrictions were completely established, the entire area within the sea region was isolated from the outside world. Visually and mentally, no information could be obtained from within.

Inside.

Gu Huang stood holding a blade on the sea surface, gazing at the scene before her.

Only the Academy personnel who had arrived together glanced at each other, simultaneously taking out space storage devices of identical specifications, size, and shape, engaging with them spiritually, and activating!

In this instant, technology mechanical components were extracted, assembling automatically once in reality, where they seamlessly merged, strange flowing lights flashing above, data streams appearing; in moments, the sea revealed what externally appeared to be a cutting-edge technological instrument—a supercomputer.

The moment it formed.

It began to operate automatically. If there were a Spiritualist present, they would be astounded to see that, upon its activation, a power akin to Spiritual Energy surged continuously.

The surrounding brilliance grew increasingly radiant, above this giant instrument, light interwove, and a figure emerged!

It was...

Candle Kite!

She donned a white skirt, eyes closed, exuding a gentle aura.

Compared to ordinary clones, the Candle Kite figure in front rapidly solidified upon appearing, entirely indistinguishable from a real person.

After a few breaths with eyes closed.

She opened her eyes.

Upon opening her eyes, a flood-like stream of light glided through her pupils; she lowered her gaze, ultimately focusing on Gu Huang, her voice melodious and gentle.

"Little Gu."

"We haven’t met in a long time."

Gu Huang’s cold expression wavered as she looked at Candle Kite, speaking earnestly: "Candle Kite, I’m entrusting you."

"Find Qin Jin."

"Leave it to me."

Candle Kite smiled slightly, raising her hands, extending them as if embracing the world. Around her, an incredibly terrifying force soared, and within her eyes, this Life Planet not yet formally named reflected, then began to disintegrate within her pupils, undergoing comprehensive analysis, surveying.

Gu Huang watched this scene.

As a top Celestial Pride from Wuyuan, she clearly understood Wuyuan’s emphasis on talented students because she personally experienced it all before.

Similar to Qin Jin, such Inheritance Seeds attract attention, and when executing missions alone, Wuyuan prepares various protocols.

The most urgent protocol involves only one entity.

Candle Kite!

Wuyuan Academy’s top artificial intelligence, its origin is extremely secretive, having existed since Wuyuan’s founding, continuing to this day, constantly evolving.

Currently appearing at this location...

It is Candle Kite’s true [body], using the giant instrument below as a temporary vessel.

Accompanying solo student missions, Candle Kite serves not merely as a small assistant, but as the ultimate protector!

The accompanying Candle Kite possesses genuine protective power and also acts as a coordinate!

This too is a supreme fusion of technology and the extraordinary, with incalculable internal value.

Time passed.

Everything within Candle Kite’s eyes grew clearer.

At this moment...

A gentle smile spread across her face, her graceful brows raised, showing a lively spirit, her soft voice resonated.

"Found you."

...

In the shattered hall.

The sound reverberated.

"High-Level Life Form?"

Qin Jin’s thoughts churned, beneath the calm exterior of the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd, within the Spirit Ruins, Spiritual Power surged, Grotto Heaven vibrated; he was ready to take action at any moment, as a voice sounded: "Who are you?"

"Me?"

The voice repeatedly spoke in an unfamiliar language, with a slow and steady tone: "In your Federation’s terms, you could call me [Seeker]."

Only hearing the voice, seeing no one.

Qin Jin, wielding the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd, paced within the vast shattered hall, observing the surroundings, continuing to speak: "Since you’ve acknowledged our Starfire Federation’s existence and still do this, are you trying to antagonize the Federation?"

"Since you have some understanding of the Federation, you should know we do not tolerate such actions lightly. Now that you’ve truly exposed yourself, are you prepared for destruction?"

"No need to frighten me."

The [Seeker]’s voice echoed: "From a material perspective, I’ve long turned to ashes, I’ve long died, what speaks with you now is merely a lingering wish."

"I have nothing to fear."

"But I didn’t expect to meet a High-Level Life Form. Had I not intended to see you, I wouldn’t have been awakened."

"High-Level Life Form?"

"This sudden anomaly is because of my appearance?"

Seeing the Other willing to answer his questions, Qin Jin’s tone was calm as he spoke: "What do you mean by High-Level Life Form?"

"It seems this concept doesn’t exist within your Starfire Federation."

The [Seeker]’s tone grew slightly fervent: "The so-called High-Level Life Form is a special life form that has broken through the limits of life. That boundary blocks many great existences. While you’re only at the shallow stage, you’ve genuinely possessed the chance."

"Once you surpass all lives and break through the limits of life, you truly gain the supreme Key Stone, with hope to stand above the Star Sea in the future!"
