The Godslayer, lacking a head by ten meters, dragged the steel lion with ponderous steps towards the underground elevator.

However, this time, it didn't return immediately.

First, it mimicked taking a step forward, then clandestinely surveyed the sky. Although it lacked a head, it remained a Godslayer, and observing the outside world wasn't straightforward without conventional 'eyes'.

After an extended period of observation, the unique ancient god didn't descend again.

It wasn't clear if it had truly escaped or would repeat its pattern of sporadic appearances.

The Godslayer placed the steel lion on the elevator first and sent it on its way.

Meanwhile, it continued to guard the entrance of the passage. The elevator had limited capacity and necessitated a phased approach to transportation.

And so, the Godslayer waited outside for half a day. When it noticed the special ancient god didn't reappear, it sighed in relief.

Finally, it raised its massive 40-meter-long leg and stepped into the elevator. It descended beneath the city.

Approximately 50 minutes later, in Earth's time, the city's alarm was lifted.

The colossal city's armed defense system began to descend, returning to the underground. Buildings and bridge structures began to rise to ground level.

Once again, a bustling city emerged before the eyes of its residents.

After about fifteen more minutes, all the residents in the buildings began to return.

The city regained its lively atmosphere.

It had to be acknowledged that the inhabitants of this artificially created world possessed remarkable mental resilience!

Every individual seemed to embody the mentality of 'shrugging it off' after surviving a disaster capable of city-wide destruction.

This mindset transcended mere numbness or habit; it felt as though the city's residents were akin to age-old giants with unwavering determination.

Beneath the city's surface, after confirming the successful capture and transfer of the steel lion to the underground base, the uniformed giants collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"The modification of the steel lion shall commence immediately; time is of the essence. We should have a replacement head for the Godslayer. Let's install it first," declared the leader of the blue giants in a deep voice.

"We've already transmitted information about that distinctive ancient god to the other Godslayer bases in the vicinity. All neighboring Godslayer bases will maintain vigilant surveillance and endeavor to locate and encircle that extraordinary ancient god as soon as possible," added the green giant.

"That's correct," sighed the red giant in relief. "Thankfully, it appears that only that ancient god possesses uniqueness."

Based on the battle between the steel lion and the Godslayer, it seemed that the steel lion, much like the ancient gods of old, exhibited recklessness, employed a singular attack method, and lacked high intelligence.

In essence, the only unique ancient god was the one that understood how to escape and make a comeback.

The other giants within the base nodded silently.

"Nevertheless, we must remain vigilant. Where there's one, there might be another. We cannot discount the possibility of other unique ancient gods emerging," the blue giant declared as he rose from his seat. "I shall leave the ancient god's monitoring to everyone; I will go check on the steel lion."

"We've got it covered," assured the green giant.

With a nod, the blue giant departed from the control room. Apart from being the base's leader, he was also an expert in ancient god modification.

Transforming the steel lion into a Godslayer fell within his purview.

The following day, within a vast, modified space beneath the underground base.

The steel lion, transformed by the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts Combined Magical Treasure, lay motionless within a maintenance solution.

Inside the steel lion, Song Shuhang remained encased in ice from the inside out.

However, his Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique circulated within him more diligently than ever. It flowed incessantly and was even more vigorous than during seclusion!

Beside each of the eight Nascent Souls and the plump Nascent Soul Whale, a small black lion figure had materialized.

After each cycle of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique, the small black lion's figure solidified further, and Song Shuhang's strength continued to increase.

He was quietly leveling up.

Due to the stimulus of the cold environment, Pavilion Master Chu woke up and was examining Song Shuhang's physical condition.

"He appears physically sound," she noted.

"The cultivation technique is circulating very rapidly. Is this a forced seclusion mode?" she mused.

The sword also examined Song Shuhang's body and added, "Ever since Song Shuhang advanced to the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm, his rate of advancement slowed down. We, as Seventh Stage Venerables, cannot provide any assistance in this regard. Song Shuhang's advancement experience differs from that of ordinary cultivators after he condensed eight Nascent Souls. Now, it seems there's an opportunity for him to advance to the Eighth Stage."

Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet inquired, "Another advancement?"

"Simply put, this is an opportunity for advancement, not an immediate breakthrough. It might be a small realm increase... Additionally, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, you must get used to following Tyrannical Song," advised the sword while sharing its experiences with Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet as a sword that had come before. These were the hard-earned lessons it had accumulated.

"Even if it's just a small realm increase, it's still too rapid... Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, are you even stable?" Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet expressed his concern. If Song Shuhang's core was unstable, it could lead to uncontrollable power and be as dangerous as placing a lethal weapon in the hands of a child. Moreover, it could give rise to inner demons.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet suddenly paused. He immediately thought of Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword and Fairy Soft Feather—these two were genuine inner demons!

All along, he had intentionally or unintentionally overlooked this point.

Tyrannical Song had never cared about inner demons.

In fact, inner demons were actually afraid of Tyrannical Song.

"You've caught on," remarked the sword.

"Me too," added the black-skinned Soft Feather.

Pavilion Master Chu said, "If an inner demon truly appeared, Shuhang might be quite delighted."

Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet was rendered speechless.

Just as Song Shuhang's pendants were conversing, the warehouse door opened.

A group of colorful giants entered.

These giants carried numerous instruments and equipment.

Pavilion Master Chu scanned the area with her dazed-hair divine sense and noticed some familiar items—the components of the Absolute Force Field Shield.

After Song Shuhang obtained the design drawings from the horse, she had also taken a look at them.

These colorful giants should be the intelligent beings of this world.

What were they up to?

At that moment, another door opened nearby.

The 100-meter-tall Godslayerfrom earlier strode in, now with a green head.

Subsequently, led by the blue giant, a group of giants held blueprints and began to communicate.

Not long after, the steel lion was lifted out of the nutrient solution. A group of giants operated various instruments and commenced the modification of the steel lion.

"Are they trying to modify Senior Song?" queried the black-skinned Soft Feather.

"Haha, this is Shuhang's magical treasure, not a mech. They are different species. It's destined for futility. What a face-slap moment," grumbled the sword.
