The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 363 - 165: Mirror Flood Dragon, Death and Life_4

"Qin Jin."

Gao Xingwen called out, his gaze falling on the terminal in Qin Jin’s hand: "Leave a contact."

...

Today, Qin Jin also witnessed the lives and deaths of the Federation heroes with his own eyes.

After Gao Xingwen spoke, aside from him, others did leave their contact details with Qin Jin.

The Federation staff led them away from here, but Qin Jin embarked on a different path.

The place they chose to dock was not far from the Star God Forbidden Area, for it was within the core hidden spot of the planet.

Qin Jin used the Walking Secret, constantly traveling, directly arriving at the Star God Forbidden Area.

After identity verification, Qin Jin entered the forbidden zone alone.

This is the core of the entire Thunder Star, within the entire Federation, aside from Qin Jin, only true supreme beings can directly set foot here.

After the planet’s mysteries were fully nurtured, the mist covering the forbidden zone had dissipated; entering the zone, after walking for a while, Qin Jin soared into the air, power surged, transforming into a stream of light in mid-air, continuously advancing.

He had no destination.

In this vibrant forbidden area, he was truly strolling, merely wanting to relax his mind.

Life and death, he had seen quite a bit, even those dying by his hands were not few, but today, witnessing the final desperate fight of those Federation heroes, his heart inevitably stirred.

Perhaps it was because of their identity, perhaps because of their spirit.

"Perhaps..."

"This was also one of the reasons why that Ten Thousand Tribulations Martial God chose to have me receive these Federation heroes."

"It’s not just about observing them during their tribulations, establishing connections, but truly witnessing the spirit that persists within the Federation, yet remains uncorrupted."

"Ten Thousand Tribulations Martial God."

He murmured in his heart, his eyes lowered slightly, abandoning thoughts, emptying his heart spirit, continuously advancing while gazing down at the ground.

In the forbidden zone, it’s recognized as the fastest-changing area within the entire planet, vibrant, just breathing the air brings a sense of comfort, looking down, it is clear to see an increase in creatures, many new faces among the extraordinary creatures.

The environment here is special, advantageous, making it an exceptional place for the birth of extraordinary life.

As he advanced.

At some moment, Qin Jin’s gaze halted, focused on a specific area.

His figure darted toward that place, and upon getting close, descended.

Upon descending to a certain height, a vigilant growl, deafening, spread forth.

However, as Qin Jin’s figure descended, the vigilant growl first turned into confusion, seemingly undergoing confirmation, then into excitement.

In the next instant...

Deafening dense footsteps resonated.

Qin Jin looked ahead.

Several colossal creatures voluntarily approached, emitting continuous low roars of joy.

Withered Bone Thunder Elephants.

These extraordinary creatures have existed in the forbidden zone since the Chosen Era, even fighting alongside Qin Jin.

However, now their appearance has undergone a stark transformation.

At a glance, Qin Jin’s gaze fell on the largest of the Thunder Elephants, he was able to recognize this as the former leader of the herd, now... Its body, once exposed in places with withered bones, has re-gathered flesh and skin, looking no different from the ordinary.

What used to be surrounded by thunder has all disappeared, if not for its even larger size, it might not seem like an extraordinary creature.

"Living in the Star God Forbidden Area, has this group undergone an overall change, becoming more complete?"

As Qin Jin observed.

The figures of the few giant elephants galloped closer to Qin Jin, then slowed down, with the leading Thunder Elephant leader lowering its body, with trunk bridging the ground, forming a long bridge, its affectionate low howl echoed.

"You still remember me."

Qin Jin felt his mood lightening a bit, walking along the trunk bridge it had formed, patting the elephant’s head.

"Let’s go, take me to your habitat, to see your home."

"Back then, after your invitation, I have yet to see it."

Joyful roars rang out.

The giant elephants galloped, raising dust, Qin Jin riding atop the elephant leader, wind brushing past, carrying a floral scent.

This area, once called the forbidden zone.

But as Thunder Star continually advances, one day this place will be called Sacred Land.

The elephant herd’s habitat was located beside a stream.

When Qin Jin arrived, he could see young elephants nestled beside their mothers, drinking mother’s milk.

The newborn young elephants, apart from their size, appear no different from ordinary elephants, but Qin Jin could sense the considerable power hidden within them.

"It seems, the environment has a profound impact on the transformation of extraordinary creatures."

"Previously withered form perhaps was adapting to the then harsh environment of the Mining Star."

As Qin Jin arrived, the elephant herd manifested their affection, even using their trunks to offer the fruits they have picked in the forbidden zone.

This was a special new experience.

As Qin Jin interacted with the Thunder Elephants.

Perceiving something, he turned his gaze toward the end of his sight.

There, a massive silhouette enveloped in thunder was rapidly approaching.

Saber-toothed Tiger!

The Thunder Elephants in the forbidden zone clearly recognized it, not obstructing, as the Saber-toothed Tiger approached, its form shrinking, upon entering the elephant herd’s habitat, it became the size of a house cat, slowed its pace, first glanced at the surrounding Thunder Elephants, then whimpered, expressing a grievance in its eyes.

Its voice contained a mental message, clearly reaping greatly under the Star God’s care.

"You are becoming smarter."

Qin Jin bent down, pushed with his hand, without exerting force, the Saber-toothed Tiger rolled several times on the ground, then eagerly approached again.

As man and tiger interacted.

Not far away, the young elephant that had just finished nursing was drawn by the friendly aura Qin Jin radiated, also approached.

This was a rare relaxing outing.

After playing with the Saber-toothed Tiger and the young elephants within the herd for a while, the sky dimmed, stars reflected on the heavens.

Nearby, the sound of the stream’s water reached, Qin Jin chose a high slope in the habitat to rest, hands under his head, lying down directly.

The unique fragrance of grass entered his nose.

Beside him.

The Saber-toothed Tiger imitated, lying upside down, belly exposed, in the same manner.

Beside them was the young elephant like a tailing companion.

The surroundings quieted.

The night sky brightened.

Qin Jin stared at the starry sky, reminiscing the scenes he witnessed during the day.

For a long while.

He gently closed his eyes.

Upon reopening his eyes, reflected in Qin Jin’s pupils was the scene of the starry sky, brilliant as the stars, he let out a long breath.

"Just hoping."

He murmured in his heart: "If one day I face such a circumstance, may I possess the courage for that final fight."

"Regardless of life and death, irrespective of life or death."

...

Cultivation never ceases, occasionally venturing into the Great Wilderness, checking on the situation of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

In the following time, Qin Jin received several batches of visiting Federation heroes.

It can be said, this was a network of unimaginable connections presented to him by Marshal Xi.

It was also a form of reciprocation.

Personally witnessing martial artists from different realms, executing their final techniques, not simply advancing one’s realm, but expanding one’s view, broadening one’s knowledge, everything seen becomes one’s foundation, someday unexpectedly bringing about effects, emerging.

Days passed by.

The vacation was nearing its end.

Throughout the vacation, he remained active in his hometown, did not choose the route arranged by Su Wu God, even never looked at it, yet lived thoroughly enriched.

Near the start of school.

Qin Jin boarded the starship returning to the academy.

Accompanying him was Bai Huaiyu.

This visitor from an alien civilization traveled Thunder Star accompanied by Candle Kite, a flower, a blade of grass, could capture her attention.

Perhaps...

Precisely because she personally witnessed the decay, it led to an intense longing for new life.
