Lin Tianming knew that Fairy Qing Lei, because of her personality, loved to tease him by calling him "cutie."
Having been around her for so long, he had grown accustomed to this nickname.
But...
Using the power of a True God to amplify her voice and calling him "cutie" in front of everyone in the Mechanical Divine Country, what was she thinking?
After all, he was now a significant figure whom even the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms and the deceitful gods from the Deceit God World were wary of...
Give me some face, sister!
"Why the long face, cutie?"
Arriving beside Lin Tianming, Fairy Qing Lei even poked his cheek.
Forget it... Don't take it to heart!
No longer wanting to dwell on this with Fairy Qing Lei, Lin Tianming seriously said, "Fairy Sister, thank you for bringing the True Gods from the Genetic Divine Country to support us, it was really timely!"
To be honest, Lin Tianming was truly grateful for Fairy Qing Lei's timely support.
With the True Gods from the Genetic Divine Country assisting, he could potentially keep his ultimate move, Heart Over Matter, hidden until the end to deal with the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny.
If it were forced out during their assault on the Mechanical Heavenly Gate, then his chances of defeating the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny afterwards would be slim.
Fairy Qing Lei also put aside her teasing demeanor and returned to business with a serious expression.
"When you came to the Genetic Divine Country asking for help, you only asked for Angel Xingyao and Holy Origin Spirit King, but I said it's best to request more True Gods. You didn't listen, luckily I've been keeping an eye on your situation, or else we might have been in real trouble!"
"Yes, Fairy Sister, your insight was foresightful, many thanks from this junior!"
Lin Tianming chuckled, complimenting her timely support was the right thing to do.
His words were indeed pleasing to Fairy Qing Lei.
Seeing Fairy Qinglain and others who hadn't descended from the sky, Fairy Qing Lei said, "Alright, let's stop bickering. Let's discuss the battle strategy. Which heavenly gate shall we attack first? You choose, cutie!"
As they talked about this matter, Angel Xingyao and Little Lolita Tianqi also looked towards Lin Tianming.
It's his turn to choose again...
Lin Tianming looked towards the Mechanical Divine City, the Four Directions Mechanical Heavenly Gate, where four Mechanical Holy Beasts hovered above.
Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Azure Dragon, White Tiger...
Each one possessed extremely powerful True God combat power, guarding the four Mechanical Heavenly Gates.
After briefly pondering, Lin Tianming locked onto the Vermilion Bird at the Southern Mechanical Heavenly Gate.
Even from such a distance, he could still feel the burning Vermilion Bird Fire.
"I choose the Mechanical Gate Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird at the Southern Mechanical Heavenly Gate!"
Angel Xingyao confirmed with Lin Tianming, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'll go for the South Heavenly Gate!"
Lin Tianming nodded affirmatively.
Since he had made his decision, he definitely would not back down.
Especially since he also had the God King Peak, Thunder Dragon Emperor, who might break through to True God at any moment, he was quite confident that he could breach the South Heavenly Gate without triggering Heart Over Matter.
Seeing Lin Tianming decided on the Vermilion Bird of the South Heavenly Gate, Fairy Qing Lei said, "Since cutie has made his choice, let's divvy up the rest!"
Little Lolita Tianqi quickly said, "I'll choose the Holy Beast White Tiger of the Western Mechanical Heavenly Gate!"
Angel Xingyao also made her choice promptly: "I'll go with Xuanwu of the Northern Mechanical Heavenly Gate then!"
With the two of them and Lin Tianming having made their choices, only the Eastern Mechanical Heavenly Gate's Mechanical Gate Sacred Beast Azure Dragon was left.
Looking at the Azure Dragon surging with the same Green Wood Thunder as herself, Fairy Qing Lei smiled.
"You really know how to leave one for me, a Green Wood Thunder Azure Dragon just like me!"
"Fairy Sister, if you want to switch, I can swap with you!"
Lin Tianming kindly offered a suggestion; he was okay with fighting any of the gate's Holy Beasts.
Fairy Qing Lei was genuinely touched by Lin Tianming's thoughtfulness, yet she was unafraid of Azure Dragon, a holy beast that shares her attribute.
"Don't switch, I am just a bit surprised; but this kind of tiny green loach, I can squash it easily!"
"It's good that Fairy Sister is confident!"
Seeing how confident Fairy Qing Lei was, Lin Tianming also felt relieved.
He looked at Thunder Dragon Emperor beside him and said, "Let's go, Thunder Dragon Emperor, we'll annihilate that Southern Vermilion Bird!"
"Yes, Tianming!"
Thunder Dragon Emperor responded and swiftly followed Lin Tianming towards Mechanical Divine City, which no longer had the protection of a defense array.
Watching Lin Tianming's silhouette marching towards the battlefield and gradually disappearing, Ye Qingxue tightly clenched her fist and loudly reminded him.
"Brother Tianming, you must come back alive!"
"Junior Brother Tianming, we'll wait for you here!"
"Waiting for your victorious news!"
Wang Yanran and Mo Jinghong also shouted one after another, expressing their care for Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming didn't turn back, but he made a reassuring gesture to Ye Qingxue and the others.
Then, under Ye Qingxue and the others' watchful gaze, he, along with Thunder Dragon Emperor, raced even faster toward the South Heavenly Gate.
"Our little darling has moved out, let's go together too! The gods from Genetic God Country should temporarily stand by in the air, wait until we breach the Four Directions Heavenly Gate, then you can join us to attack Mechanical Divine City!"
With Fairy Qing Lei's command that echoed throughout the Mechanical Divine Country, the battle to attack Mechanical Divine City officially began.
"Screaming so loud... calling me little darling in front of all Mechanical Divine Country... I'm resigned!"
Just as they arrived at the imposing South Mechanical Heavenly Gate, which seemed like peaks of mountains, Thunder Dragon Emperor overheard Lin Tianming's muttering.
In this typically solemn situation, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
"I think Fairy Qing Lei's words are quite apt... Actually, Tianming, you really are adorable!"
Thunder Dragon Emperor was speaking the truth.
Lin Tianming had a youthful face that would make any girl's heart flutter.
Though handsome, when girls express fondness, they usually say 'cute' rather than 'handsome'.
"Thunder Dragon Emperor, let's end this topic here; we're here on serious business!"
With Lin Tianming's stern reminder, Thunder Dragon Emperor also put away her smiling face, nodding her small head seriously.
"Yes, I understand, I will assist you in battle, Tianming!"
As Lin Tianming and Thunder Dragon Emperor walked on a road in front of the South Mechanical Heavenly Gate, designed as if for giants, though they were spotted by Mechanical Gate Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird circling overhead, they were not attacked.
This puzzled Thunder Dragon Emperor: "Tianming, why isn't that turkey attacking us?"
Turkey?
Lin Tianming didn't catch on at first, but then he realized that Thunder Dragon Emperor was referring to the guardian of the South Heavenly Gate, the Mechanical Gate Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird.
Though he wanted to laugh, Lin Tianming held it back, constantly surveying the enormous mechanical Vermilion Bird.
Despite being a mechanical body, because the mechanical technology of Mechanical Divine Country is so advanced, it showed no signs of machinery and looked like a living mythological Vermilion Bird.
"That turkey... cough cough... if that Vermilion Bird doesn't attack us, let's just go in, but be careful, it might be a trap!"
Thunder Dragon Emperor, hearing Lin Tianming's caution, nodded and kept up the highest alert.
Just as Lin Tianming and Thunder Dragon Emperor were about to officially step into the South Heavenly Gate, a barrier of Vermilion Bird Fire, capable of scorching True Gods, formed into a fiery gate that lay across Lin Tianming and Thunder Dragon Emperor's path.
Luckily, Lin Tianming and Thunder Dragon Emperor reacted quickly, retreating immediately to keep their distance, otherwise they would have been severely wounded by that blazing Vermilion Bird Gate.
At the same time, the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird emitted a call and swooped down.
Watching the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird finally launching an attack against them, Lin Tianming also entered the Star Dragon Pattern Angel Genetic Ascension Form.
"There's indeed trickery, Thunder Dragon Emperor, follow me and let's slay this turkey!"
