Chapter 1571: Chapter 504: Fishing for the Top Sequence

"Why did you become part of the Mechanical Race?"

Taurus found it odd.

Seeing Taurus’s confusion, Wen Xishu immediately realized this was an opportunity. Asking questions is a form of desire.

"I need your help," Wen Xishu said.

Taurus was indeed very curious about Wen Xishu’s appearance at this moment.

Appearing at this node in such a form was indeed strange. Taurus couldn’t discern whether Wen Xishu was here to disrupt the Divine Dawn plan or if something else had occurred, resulting in this coincidental meeting.

"Were you just impersonating Scorpio? You even seemed... capable of using his abilities?"

Wen Xishu pretended to be helpless:

"Yes, I can not only use Scorpio’s abilities but also those of Pisces; I can predict the future."

Though still held with one hand by Taurus, Wen Xishu could still transform.

The next second, while being held, he transformed into the graceful form of Pisces.

Taurus wasn’t surprised that the Mechanical Race could transform.

After all, he had witnessed the Mechanical Body of Yuan changing constantly when he faced off against the Lord of Machinery.

But what surprised him was how Wen Xishu could know Pisces’s form. This time armor form hadn’t been used by Pisces for a long time.

Wen Xishu transformed back into his own appearance.

"So... how should I explain this? I know you are plotting a major plan, and it’s not supposed to be completed now. But due to Pisces’s intervention, you are ahead of schedule, right?"

"While heading to the arena, within the Mist Path, I encountered Pisces..."

"My current situation is dire; she suggested I come to find you."

Wen Xishu discovered something odd.

Indeed, he had disrupted the bizarre contest, and technically offended Taurus. His actions were akin to an outsider intruding into Taurus’s territory.

But Taurus didn’t feel offended. Instead, his questions ran deep.

He pondered, perhaps to Taurus, they could potentially cooperate. After all, during the time of saving Charlie, Taurus proposed cooperation.

Furthermore, he was weak.

With his current abilities, no matter how composed Taurus was—there was no need for him to pay excessive attention.

His situation was peculiar too.

"How did you become non-human Race? You shouldn’t even qualify for an invitation to be non-human Race, especially as part of the Mechanical Race."

Taurus was indeed curious. That was exactly what Wen Xishu wanted.

Facing a constellation, even the weakest one, Wen Xishu stood no chance of winning. But he could lie.

"It’s a long story, but I need to return to human form, and Pisces told me only you could help. Can you help me return to my human form?"

"Alright, I’ll admit, entering this way is unbecoming, but in the future I envisioned, it’s one that could spark your curiosity."

"So, can you let me go first?"

Wen Xishu slightly surveyed the surroundings; it was an open area with almost nothing apart from the tripod holding the Divine Dawn.

He had no geographical advantage.

Taurus knew this, and actually let Wen Xishu go.

"Do you know why I didn’t kill you immediately?" Taurus turned around, completely unconcerned about Wen Xishu doing anything sneaky.

Wen Xishu indeed dared not make any moves.

No longer being held, he touched his neck, and though the Mechanical Body didn’t need to breathe, living as a human for so long made him instinctively feel suffocated.

"You’re curious?" Wen Xishu replied, his gaze drifting towards the Bronze Tripod.

If transforming into Albert at this moment, would it be possible to destroy the Divine Dawn with one punch?

No...

Even if he could land that punch and complete the task, he surely wouldn’t survive.

Taurus sneered:

"Wen Xishu, you are indeed a human I’m very interested in. Your importance to the Three Towers War is growing."

"I once tried to recruit you, surely you remember."

Taurus stood with his hands behind his back, also gazing at the Divine Dawn.

Evidently, he was waiting for something.

Wen Xishu wanted to transform into Pisces’s form to see what would happen next, but he dared not because Taurus could sense constellation energies.

Moreover... he had misjudged one thing.

Taurus was not weakened. At present, Taurus’s condition was quite normal.

"Of course I haven’t forgotten. But, regrettably, if I had to do it all over again, I would still refuse you," Wen Xishu ultimately decided to say.

Taurus turned his head, looking at Wen Xishu with admiration, then turned back to gaze at the Divine Dawn.

"Pisces was anxious. But she’s mistaken, even I can’t undo the non-human form of the Mechanical Race."

"Only the Lord of Machinery can, but unfortunately, she likely wouldn’t let you become human. After all, she partners with me, and what she wants to create is a world where humans transform into machines, no longer fragile, no longer pained."

"If you’ve become one of the Mechanical Race, it means much about your future... will be overturned. And I’ve always had ways to control the non-human Race."

"I’m not killing you because I can enslave you, govern you. I don’t know what task you’ve undertaken, but in seven days, you must return; this is the rule constraint of the Three Towers over Bunker People."

"Last time you refused my cooperation; this time, I won’t help you. Just live well as part of the Mechanical Race. When your seven-day journey ends, you’ll remain here forever."
