Monsters Are Coming

Because the Star Network possesses infinite longevity and an infinitely expandable information database, it can store boundless amounts of knowledge.

As such, ordinary members of the Moon Eclipse Clan no longer need to learn cumbersome scientific knowledge; all progress is handed over to the ever-learning and growing Star Network.

The development of the Moon Eclipse Clan will never encounter bottlenecks again.

Moreover, genetic modification technology continued to advance within the Moon Eclipse Clan after internal conflicts were resolved, leading to the creation of many powerful Genetic Warriors.

However, due to "cognitive judgment" issues at a certain stage, this technology was banned by the Star Network and exited the historical stage of the Moon Eclipse Clan, leaving only foundational genetic modification technology.

This foundational technology later gifted to humanity led to the creation of a group of Super Gene Warriors.

Similarly banned for similar reasons were the core technologies concerning human mechanization in "Mechanical Ascension," leaving much of the foundational knowledge as the cornerstone for building the modern virtual network.

The essence of the virtual network isn’t to allow "life" to exist in a virtual environment.

Fundamentally, it is a network for storing knowledge information used by Moon Eclipse Clan members after completing mechanical ascension for mechanical eternal life.

In the envisioned future of the Mechanical Ascension Plan, all knowledge would be stored in the network world; any required information would simply be downloaded by searching the network world.

But after the Mechanical Ascension Project was deemed taboo by the Star Network, the virtual world appeared before Moon Eclipse Clan members in another form.

Recalling the historical data of Moon Eclipse Clan’s development he read during his schooling years, Ah Lan felt nostalgic.

The passage of time, the Star Network created by ancestors, has brought the Moon Eclipse Clan to today.

It even allowed them to survive a natural disaster terrifying enough to annihilate the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Continuing to pore over the mechanical ascension theory depicted on the blueprint, Ah Lan was surprised to find the contents on the paper could change by sliding, with text and images reordered.

This seemed to be a kind of electronic ink-like technology.

It appeared to be a sheet of paper, but it contained a vast reserve of information that could be altered by touch.

The texts and images depicted a detailed theoretical model of consciousness transmission.

Using a special energy wave, the consciousness information in the brain is extracted and accurately implanted into a mechanical carrier.

With great interest, Ah Lan continued examining it.

After browsing over a dozen pages, he saw a mechanical diagram.

The title bore the words: [The Carrier of Eternal Life and Evolution - Mechanical Guardian].

The earlier content roughly outlined the concept of consciousness transmission, and this next part presented the idea about the mechanical carrier.

This part is also the central content of the mechanical eternal life concept, demonstrating how to construct an almost perfect mechanical body.

This body possesses super evolutionary abilities, able to gain different evolutionary directions by devouring Spirit Ore materials.

The Mechanical Guardian Clan plans to first create "Mechanical Guardians" in the form of weapons, putting them into warfare to clarify their growth potential, before considering the method of consciousness transmission to Mechanical Guardians.

Once this scheme succeeds, the Mechanical Guardian Clan can escape the fragility of the flesh and the constraints of lifespan, achieving true mechanical eternal life.

The various conceptual designs on the paper link together in sequence, with each concept showcasing the Mechanical Guardian Clan’s mad pursuit of life continuation and evolution.

Opening Ah Lan’s eyes wide to new insights.

Upon reaching the last page, it left behind this passage:

In this Monster World where Strong Clan stand tall, we lack innate extraordinary talent, nor do we have strong Rule Power backing us; what we possess is the accumulated wisdom of countless generations, the never-extinguishing fire of exploration.

We will confront those Strong Clan who control the rules of heaven and earth with mechanical bodies, challenging those beings standing at the pinnacle with enduring life.

This path promises to be thorn-laden, where every step might lead into the Abyss of civilization, yet we have never retreated.

For we deeply understand that technological progress is our only weapon and our last dignity.

Perhaps we will fall, perhaps we will fail, but every attempt we make is an effort to ignite hope with wisdom.

Knowing the perilous road ahead, yet choosing to move forward, it’s because we always believe that one day, our descendants will stand on our shoulders, reaching that once unattainable starry sky.

In the new world where Strong Clan stand tall, we have never succumbed.

Because we are the Mechanical Guardian Clan.

...

Ah Lan’s gaze turned to the other papers, thick with accumulated dust and chaotically placed, feeling complex emotions.

Especially the final sentence: Our descendants will stand on our shoulders, touching that once unattainable starry sky.

This reminded him of the Moon Eclipse Clan’s collective relocation in dire circumstances.

As Governor No.16, he has been combing through the Monster World forum for half a year, researching a vast amount about Monster World.

The extinction of a race, in the eyes of ordinary players, is merely a string of data, or merely the backdrop of a game.

But in his eyes, it is a true existence and an event in history.

The Mechanical Guardian Clan, this is a group with grand ambitions.

The thick dust accumulated on the paper seems to be remnants of the dreams of this clan, documenting the glory, yet ultimately buried in silence.

The entire city became ruins, the proud steel torrent turned to scrap iron, even the race’s name was submerged in the river of time.

Ah Lan’s fingertips lightly grazed the control console, feeling the cold touch at his fingertips, as if hearing those unfulfilled promises echoing in the void.

This race was once so proud, carrying hope and running down the path toward their dreams, keen to stand shoulder to shoulder with Strong Clan, yet now quietly vanished.
