Wang Yanran threw herself into Lin Tianming's arms from the bed and cried uncontrollably.

Lin Tianming gently stroked her back and softly comforted her emotions, in hopes that her breakdown would soon abate.

Ye Qingxue watched from the side, but this time she did not feel jealous.

She could tell that Wang Yanran must have been wronged to act like this.

After having spent so much time together, Ye Qingxue also hoped that Wang Yanran would recover quickly and tell Lin Tianming what had happened.

Only then could they work together to find a solution!

After a long while, Wang Yanran's emotional breakdown gradually stabilized.

She curled up in Lin Tianming's arms, appearing to only feel secure when in his embrace.

Seizing the moment, Lin Tianming asked, "Senior Sister Yanran, can you now tell me and Qingxue in detail what happened? And what did you mean by asking me to save Senior Sister Jing Hong?"

"Uh... I... I'll tell you... Junior Brother Tianming..."

Wang Yanran replied softly and, after organizing her words, recounted to Lin Tianming the ordeal she and Mo Jinghong had experienced in the Mechanical Divine Country.

"Some time ago, Senior Sister Yu Fei went to the Flower Sea Park with Fairy Qinglian of the Genetic God Country to train. I thought we couldn't slack off either, so I took Junior Sister Jing Hong with me to the Mechanical Divine Country.

Who would have thought that our trip to the Mechanical Divine Country would turn into a disaster...

Junior Sister Jing Hong and I visited Molten Fire City, where the Molten Fire Council was holding a trial called the Nine Questions of Destiny. Interested by the substantial rewards, Jing Hong wanted to participate, so without giving it much thought, I agreed to let her try.

This Nine Questions of Destiny trial required participants to spend three days learning the knowledge of the Mechanical Divine Country's mechanics.

Then, using the knowledge gained, participants had to solve the Nine Questions of Destiny; the highest scorer would receive the most generous trial rewards.

Although Junior Sister Jing Hong's awakened superpower was that of a Forging Master and it was her first time in the Mechanical Divine Country, she was able to perfectly solve the Nine Questions of Destiny in just three days of learning.

We were both very happy at the time, as the people from the Molten Fire Council kept their word and awarded the trial rewards.

But unexpectedly, after inviting us to the Molten Fire Tower, they detained both me and Junior Sister Jing Hong!

They claimed that Jing Hong possessed the Mechanical Talent of the Mother of Destiny and wanted her to serve the destiny of the Mechanical Mainbrain.

Junior Sister Jing Hong and I tried to escape several times, but the Mechanical Gods forcibly separated us and controlled me. After that, I didn't know what happened...

However, I'm certain that Junior Sister Jing Hong was their main target, and she must be in a worse situation than me... Junior Brother Tianming, you must save her. She is my best sister; nothing can happen to her!"

As she spoke, Wang Yanran, who had just calmed down, again filled her eyes with tears and cried curled up in Lin Tianming's embrace.

Having understood Wang Yanran's experiences over this period, Lin Tianming softly consoled her: "Senior Sister Yanran, rest assured, even if you did not ask me, I would still go to save Senior Sister Jing Hong!"

At this moment, Little Lolita Tianqi and the Thunder Dragon Emperor also walked into the room.

Upon entering, Little Lolita Tianqi spoke up: "So the person with Mechanical Talent rivaling the Mother of Destiny that the Molten Fire Council captured, you actually know her too. The people around you really are all geniuses one after another!"

"Now is not the time for jokes, Lord Tianqi, I want to ask you a question. Why would someone who solves the Nine Questions of Destiny be considered to possess Mechanical Talent on par with the Mother of Destiny?"

Lin Tianming gently comforted Wang Yanran, who was cuddled into a cotton ball in his arms, and asked Little Lolita Tianqi.

Facing Lin Tianming's question, Little Lolita Tianqi was an open book.

"The Nine Questions of Destiny, each question has been unsolvable by the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny itself, despite millennia of deliberation.

A self-sealing battle ten thousand years ago, sensing that she was unlikely to return to the Mechanical Divine Country, the Mother of Destiny, wanting to leave behind her legacy to perfect the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny and to make some of her cutting-edge mechanical technological concepts a reality, set up the Nine Questions of Destiny.

Solving the Nine Questions of Destiny is equivalent to obtaining the complete mechanical technological knowledge legacy left by the Mother of Destiny.

Although ten thousand years have passed and mechanical technology's integration with Extraordinary Power in the Mechanical Divine Country has become far more advanced and powerful than it was ten thousand years ago, the mechanical technology within the Mother of Destiny's main areas of expertise has stagnated."

The girl you know who can solve the Nine Questions of Destiny means she possesses mechanical talents on par with the Mother of Destiny, capable of realizing some of the Mechanical Technology concepts the Mother of Destiny did not have time to complete.

If someone with mechanical talents rivaling the Mother of Destiny were to lead the Mechanical Divine Country, perhaps my Mechanical Divine Country could evolve further towards a higher level!"

Understanding the significance of solving the Nine Questions of Destiny for the Mechanical Divine Country, Lin Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Lord Tian Qi, what do you think is the reason the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny captured my Senior Sister Jing Hong?"

Upon considering this question, Tian Qi pondered for a moment before saying, "For the now autonomous and infinitely evolving Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny, it no longer needs anyone to help it upgrade or reform. It will proceed in the direction it has set for itself according to its own analysis.

This also means that even if the Mother of Destiny were to return, for the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny, she would just be another series of cold data, no different from the other Mechanical Ascension Gods.

Your Senior Sister Jing Hong, as the most likely candidate to rival the Mother of Destiny in Mechanical Technology genius, will be the key data for the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny to perfect the technologies in the domains primarily spearheaded by the Mother of Destiny."

"Key... data?"

Muttering to himself, a fierce killing intent surfaced in Lin Tianming's eyes.

Previously, Lin Tianming wanted to destroy the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny to inherit the legacy of the Mother of Destiny, to be the corrector of the Mechanical Divine Country and bring it back on track.

Now, he had another reason to destroy it.

That was to avenge Senior Sister Yanran and Senior Sister Jing Hong!

"Junior Brother Tianming...I...should I not have taken it upon myself...to bring Junior Sister Jing Hong to the Mechanical Divine Country?"

Smelling the self-reproach in Wang Yanran's words within his embrace, Lin Tianming lowered his head, gently caressing her tearful pretty face.

"It's not your fault, Senior Sister Yanran, don't think too much about it. If there is anyone to blame, it's the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny that veered off the path, turning people into cold data!"

"That's right! Senior Sister Yanran, rest assured, with Brother Tianming here, he will definitely get justice for you and Senior Sister Jing Hong!"

Ye Qingxue was also feeling a shared hatred for their enemy.

With the comfort from Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue, Wang Yanran didn't say much more.

But she still felt a little guilty.

[In the last life, Junior Sister Jing Hong never came to the Mechanical Divine Country, and she was still alive when I died...]

[I didn't expect that in this life, after helping Senior Sister Yu Fei survive her death ordeal, I ended up putting Junior Sister Jing Hong into danger...]

[Could it be because of the influence of my rebirth, that both Senior Sister Yu Fei and Junior Brother Tianming are alive now, the fate of this life has changed, and someone must die in their place, with Junior Sister Jing Hong being the one chosen?]

Thinking about it, Wang Yanran became even more afraid and dared not ponder further.

Lin Tianming also heard Wang Yanran's inner thought about destiny's arrangement requiring someone to die in his and Hua Yufei's place.

Regarding this idea, Lin Tianming partly agreed.

That is, the rebirth of figures like Wang Yanran and other Goddess Reborns, as well as his own crossing over, certainly caused the butterfly effect, inevitably leading to different fates for many people in this life compared to the last life when he was not in this world.

However...

There is no such thing as someone needing to die in someone else's place to achieve balance!

And his Senior Sister Jing Hong is even less likely to be the scapegoat destined to die in place of him and Hua Yufei!

If there truly was a force of destiny insisting that Mo Jinghong must die, then he, Lin Tianming, would shatter that destiny!

Just like the Thunder Lord who cheated, insisting that Teacher Jiang Han in this life must die tragically just like in the last life.

As long as he does not wish for Senior Sister Jing Hong to die, then surely she, like Teacher Jiang Han, will live to the end!
