The Yu Yun race is born with wings. They are naturally skilled in craftsmanship and possess extremely sensitive souls. They can carve exquisite ornaments and create various mechanisms. It can be said that the Yu Yun race was born for mechanisms.
In the primordial era, because they did not possess much power, the Yu Yun people were constantly hiding, using various mechanisms to protect themselves. They even had to sacrifice some of their people to survive in the dense fog.
This pain of losing loved ones was difficult for every Yu Yun person to accept, but they had no choice. However, because the Yu Yun people had sensitive souls, many of them went mad because of this.
Until the Heavenly King of Tianyuan City personally led an expedition to the primordial lands, the Yu Yun people were also successfully incorporated into the Eternal Covenant of Tianyuan City.
The Eternal Covenant was Tianyuan City's covenant with all tribes. As long as they swore to join the covenant, Tianyuan City would protect the tribe.
The Yu Yun tribe was honored to join. In the long years that followed, they were protected by the Heavenly King. Knowing that they were skilled in mechanics, the Heavenly King specially passed down the mechanical insights of Shennong to them. Knowing that they had sensitive souls, they were assigned corresponding tasks.
Because of the Heavenly King's protection, the Yu Yun tribe prospered. From top to bottom, the tribe was loyal to the Heavenly King. They created mechanical puppets for the Heavenly King and provided more mechanical tools for the Heavenly King to pacify the world.
When the Heavenly King ascended the throne and became the Emperor, the Yu Yun tribe created combat puppets for the Great Cang to guard the borders.
The Yu Yun people respectfully called the Heavenly King the Holy King, meaning a sage. They believed that the Heavenly King was the greatest emperor in the world, the Holy King who saved the Yu Yun tribe.
Until one day, the Heavenly King was betrayed, her Tianyuan City burned in flames. Her people cried under the butcher's knife, and the things she was once proud of collapsed.
And the person who betrayed her was the person the Heavenly King trusted most.
"It is said that the person who betrayed the Heavenly King was called Xiu Qi. He set fire to the Boundless Pavilion of Tianyuan City, and he opened the Four Symbols Formation of Tianyuan City, allowing the alien race to ravage Tianyuan City. If it weren't for his betrayal and the betrayal of others, the Heavenly King would not have died. I heard that the Heavenly King trusted Xiu Qi the most and always regarded Xiu Qi as her right-hand man. That's why she easily believed Xiu Qi's words and allowed the rebellion to happen," the Mechanical Saintess said, with a look of sorrow in her eyes.
"Xiu Qi?!" Jiang Wen's expression was a little strange after hearing this name. There was not only anger in his eyes, but also disbelief. "Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?"
"I didn't, Shennong," the Mechanical Saintess shook her head. "I will always remember this name. It was he who betrayed the Heavenly King, causing the Heavenly King to lose her life in Tianyuan City."
"How could it be, how could he betray the Heavenly King," Jiang Wen muttered to himself, he couldn't believe it. That disciple actually dared to attack Jiang Wenji.
"It was him," the Mechanical Saintess replied affirmatively. "I can forget anyone's name, but this name will never be forgotten."
Jiang Wen didn't comment on this, he was just thinking about what the Mechanical Saintess had just said. Xiu Qi betrayed Jiang Wenji and destroyed Tianyuan City.
He dismembered Jiang Wenji into five pieces and buried her body in various places. This was really not what he would do.
"Or did he hide those thoughts in his heart when I brought him back then?" Jiang Wen didn't know what Xiu Qi was thinking, why he betrayed Jiang Wenji.
When he thought of Jiang Wenji being dismembered into five pieces, his heart felt like it was being cut.

"Xiu Qi, Xiu Qi. If I find you again, I will definitely ask you some questions," Jiang Wen secretly resolved.
"If it weren't for the sake of many tribes, the Heavenly King would not have been dismembered with her strength. We snatched a part of the Heavenly King from the hands of the rebels and brought her remains to Buzhou Mountain. We built a place at the bottom of the mountain where all the tribesmen could live, and used the magic of Tianyuan City to create the sun, moon, and stars," the Mechanical Saintess continued.
"We thought that we would be able to enshrine the remains of the Holy King for generations, until one day, a great fog descended. That was an unprecedented catastrophe. The fog lasted for an unknown amount of time. Our tribesmen were almost driven mad. Everyone became crazy, and they killed each other, and a million tribesmen died overnight."
"Later, I and the few remaining elders proposed to use mechanics to store the souls of those crazy tribesmen, so that their souls could exist in the Heavenly Core, and they could survive as mechanical puppets."
"We thought this was a win-win situation, until the few remaining elders were assassinated, and the mechanical puppets launched a rebellion. Only then did I realize that when the souls of the tribesmen entered the Heavenly Core, they were no longer the same kind of people as us. I didn't know what to do, and I was also seriously injured in that turmoil."
"In the end, I used the remains of the Heavenly King to open up a Sumeru secret realm. Together with those mechanical people and the lost bodies of the Yu Yun people, I hid them in Sumeru, and then fell asleep."
"This is the story of our Yu Yun tribe. Although it is not long, it is not short either," the Mechanical Saintess sighed. "After hearing everything you said just now, I also understand my situation. I didn't expect that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this Sumeru secret realm has changed so much."
"No wonder I always felt that something was wrong. It turns out that this is the Sumeru secret realm you opened up," Jiang Wen couldn't help but sympathize with the Mechanical Saintess after recalling the strange things he had seen here. After all, being betrayed by the person he rescued would make him a little angry.
"I didn't expect that the changes here would be so great, and those mechanical puppets who have already lost their memories and humanity would form forces. I didn't even expect that I would be called the Mechanical Saintess by them," the Mechanical Saintess shook her head and said. "My name was given to me by the Holy King, and it's called Deng Luo. You can also call me by my name."
"Deng Luo? Good name," Jiang Wen praised.
"Thank you for your compliment," the Mechanical Saintess, or rather Deng Luo, smiled gratefully.
"Now that you know what happened in this world, what are you going to do?" Jiang Wen asked.
"I heard you say that the remains of the Holy King should be in Yu Yun Capital. I'm going to go there first to take a look. Maybe I can learn something from there," Deng Luo said softly. "But before I leave, I will definitely help you solve your troubles."
The only trouble Deng Luo is facing now is the endless stream of puppets outside Taifu. If these guys are not dealt with in time, then Mo Du will not have peace for a day.
"I still have some ways to deal with these mechanical puppets, maybe I can help you," Deng Luo said respectfully, taking out a cube-shaped core from her heart.
"This is the Heavenly Vault Mechanism Technique, a first-class mysterious thing. It can contain the memories of a Yu Yun person's life, and it is also a means for some people in the tribe to escape the world," Deng Luo handed the cube-shaped thing to Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen took the object and examined it carefully, and found that this thing was very similar to a magic weapon he had seen.
