"Unfilial son Song Mingsong, paying respects to the 'Prime Ancestor'!"

Ahead, the ten-thousand-meter Mech Armor Projection slightly turned its body, and its gaze fell upon the Furious Lion.

After staring for two seconds, the Mech Armor Projection nodded gently.

"You did very well this time, once everything is finished, take your clan and return home!!"

Hearing these words, Song Mingsong could no longer hold back, his firm eyes completely moistened, and he responded with a hoarse voice:

"I will heed the Prime Ancestor's command!!"

...

As he spoke, the ten-thousand-meter Mech Armor Projection's head turned fiercely, refocusing on the black Space-Escape Mech ahead.

"Since you have personally entered the fray, don't be in a hurry to leave. When the Chenxing Principality annihilated your clan, my Song family had not yet risen. But today, having finally encountered this opportunity, you will follow this venerable back to Dinghai. It just so happens that our ancestral lands are in need of a guardian of sufficient weight."

As the words ended, the right arm of the Moruo Space-Escape Mech, which was behind its back, suddenly cracked, and the space-escape device that was about to activate was directly destroyed.

Inside the Space-Escape Mech, that member of the Moruo Royal Family, who had just advanced to Fourth Rank not long ago, was utterly panicked. If at first, upon seeing that Fifth-Rank entity's projection descend, it still had a sliver of hope, now it was utterly despairing. Explore hidden tales at mvl

The Mechas of the Moruo Clan were referred to as Space-Escape Mechs because of the special "Space-Escape" devices developed by their clan.

Equipped with these devices, the mechs could easily enter the fissures in space, and then with the help of the large quantity of Space Solidification Stones fused within the mechs, achieve extremely rapid escape through the spatial fissures, which made them a godsend for fleeing and surprise attacks.

Because of this device, during the great expedition of the Chenxing Principality thousands of years ago, they suffered numerous surprise attacks from the Moruo Clan, resulting in heavy losses to the expeditionary force. In the end, they had no choice but to use a large number of space collapse bombs for indiscriminate bombing.

The instant a space collapse bomb was detonated, it produced intense spatial compression and shearing forces. Even if the Moruo Space-Escape Mechs had entered the fissures in space, they would still be crushed by the spatial compression force, turned into thin slices. This decimated over ninety percent of the Moruo Clan's high-level combat power and led to the final victory of the great expedition.

Originally, it still wanted to attempt retreating into the void, but now with the escape device destroyed, it virtually lost any chance of a full retreat.

Although there were many spatial fissures surrounding it, how could an ordinary spatial fissure accommodate a mech with a volume of more than two thousand meters?

Upon this realization, the Moruo Royal Family member's eyes flashed fiercely, and the deep silver horn on its head began to flicker with radiant light.

However, this movement was immediately noticed by the ten-thousand-meter Mech Armor Projection ahead.

With the convergence of energy around the Mech Armor Projection, the result was that member of the Moruo Royal Family inside the Space-Escape Mech suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the glow of its silver horn completely dimmed.

As for the member of the Moruo Royal Family itself, all of its energy was sealed, and it was completely turned into a dead fish at the mercy of others.

At the chest of the Space-Escape Mech, with a series of gentle openings and closings, the hatch door opened, and the Fourth Rank Moruo Royal Family member inside the cockpit walked out, grinding his teeth with rage.

Strangely, although this Fourth Rank Moruo Royal Family member's eyes were full of hatred and ferocity, his physical actions seemed to be beyond his own control. Not only did he open the cockpit door by himself, but he also voluntarily bound his hands, waiting for the Song family members to restrain him.

Inside the Furious Lion, Song Mingsong guessed that his ancestor had used some special control-type component, so he didn't think much about it. At this moment, the Mech Giant Projection in front of him turned around again and took the initiative to speak:

"My projection won't last long. Before it dissipates, I will seal this Fourth Rank Moruo member. Afterwards, you just need to bring it and the Moruo Space-Escape Mech back with you."

Song Mingsong first nodded his head, indicating he understood, then turned his head and glanced at the Blade Coin emitting ultimate red light on the side. At this moment, the Blade Coin was covered in cracks, and its shattering was imminent.

But then he suddenly thought of something, and his gaze shifted to the over two thousand meters tall black mech, his face showing a difficult expression.

Seeing this, the aged voice once again came from the Mech Armor Projection.

"Look at my memory; I almost forgot this is a Fourth Rank Mech!"

Saying this, he directed his thoughts, reactivating a special component on the warship (mech). Song Mingsong saw an orange radiance shoot out from the mech projection in front of him. Once the light touched the Moruo Space-Escape Mech, the mech began to shrink rapidly, and eventually, it transformed into a palm-sized mini mech model.

Witnessing such a magical manoeuvre, Song Mingsong's eyes widened, his gaze filled with curiosity.

However, the "Prime Ancestor" from the Dinghai Song family had no intention of explaining. After tossing the mini mech model to Song Mingsong, the aura of his mech projection dimmed again.

Now, the mech projection emitted another flash of light, this time revealing a second Blade Coin, also shining with a red glow.

"You will place this second Blade Coin into the Moruo Secret Realm later on, and then destroy the entrance to the realm. I have my methods to locate its exact position and enter it," he said.

After taking the second Blade Coin, Song Mingsong voiced his concern,

"Prime Ancestor, isn't the clan sending someone over?"

"All clan members of Fourth Rank and above are currently preoccupied, and a Third Rank Torch Captain coming over would be of little use. Otherwise, we wouldn't have let you and your descendants take such a risk."

After speaking, the aged voice cut off Song Mingsong, who was about to ask something else, and continued,

"Alright, we will discuss subsequent matters once you return to the clan. Right now, your main task is to return home safely. The Moruo Royal Family likely still has hidden Fourth-Rank Combat Powers; it's unwise to linger here!"

"Yes..."

Before Song Mingsong could finish speaking, the Blade Coin at his side had already shattered completely. Simultaneously, the projection of the tens of kilometers tall Mech Giant in front of him dissipated as if carried away by the wind, leaving no trace behind.

As he watched the mech projection vanish before his eyes, a hint of melancholy surfaced in Song Mingsong's heart. However, the thought of soon rejoined his family replaced his sentiment with boundless joy.

Fifty years. It had been nearly fifty years since he left the clan. Song Mingsong was finally going to return to his family with honor. How could he not be joyous?

Moreover, his gaze intently fixed on the Fourth Rank Moruo Royal Family member sealed in front of him, now sunk into slumber, and the mini mech model in his hand, Song Mingsong felt a surge of excitement.

These were two genuine Fourth-Rank Combat Powers. Although the Moruo Space-Escape Mech could only be operated and powered by the Moruo Clan itself, effectively counting as only one Fourth-Rank Combat Power, this was still an incredibly significant gain.

These were bona fide Fourth Rank Units, incomparable to those enhanced to lv40 Soldier Figurines. For the Dinghai Song family, the Fourth Rank represented the pinnacle of combat power.

What occupied Song Mingsong's thoughts was the family's reward to come. Although the Moruo Royal Family and the Moruo Space-Escape Mech had been captured by the "Prime Ancestor," as the strategist of this operation, wouldn't he also have some credit? The secret realm might be used to rectify his past mistakes, but the Moruo Space-Escape Mech should warrant some form of reward from the family.

Thinking of this, Song Mingsong was very pleased.

Shaking his head, Song Mingsong stopped dwelling on his thoughts. As the Prime Ancestor had said, the Moruo Royal Family probably had a Fourth-Rank Combat Power remaining, and he must lead his family to safety quickly.

...

In the Moruo Secret Realm, Song Chi, following his grandmother, quickly adapted after a slight feeling of weightlessness, as his life level had already advanced to the First Rank, granting him a higher resistance to the side effects caused by the spatial transfer and transition.

Turning to his companions Song Lin, Song Wen, and Song You, they were all still eyes closed, seeming not yet recovered from the transition.

Yet his thoughts were not preoccupied with this secret realm, starkly different from the outside world, but with reminiscing everything he had witnessed through the Fire Peony Soldier Figurine.

Especially that tens of kilometers tall Mech Giant projection. Although he did not know its true identity, judging by the Dragon Whale apparition that faintly surfaced around the mech projection, it must have been a mighty figure from the Dinghai Song family.
