It was still the Nameless Temple, just a few minutes after Sun Cheng's escape.
A gust of wind blew into the temple, lifting sand and dust from the ground.
If anyone were present in the temple at this moment, they would have been horrified to discover that several faint, invisible fluorescent apparitions had formed a circle inside the temple, sitting on the ground from left to right, totaling exactly six.
"Little did we expect that we left behind quite a few clues for the successors, but the first ones to find this place were two Decepticons!"
The six fluorescent apparitions were now inside the temple, conversing in the ancient Cybertronian language, unfamiliar yet familiar to Sun Cheng.
"It has been many years, and you still haven't let go... The Leadership Module doesn't belong to us alone, nor just to the Autobots... No matter who obtains it, its ultimate destiny is to return to the hands of a super Leader!"
"Our brothers Maximus and Megatronus Prime may have fallen, but the Decepticons, for whom they invested so much effort, are also our descendants. We should treat them impartially and give them a chance... Those two Decepticons are different. They give me the same feeling I had when I encountered Shockwave in the past..."
"Quintus Prime, have you forgotten the sins that the Five-Faced Monsters committed on Cybertron in the past? According to your reasoning, the Five-Faced Monsters you created are also our descendants..."
"...Indeed, the Five-Faced Monsters have fulfilled the mission we left behind. They continued to research and nurture numerous Cybertronians based on the data I left, and then enslaved them, sowing the seeds of discord that later split into Decepticons and Autobots..."
"Enough, my brothers... Our bodies have already decayed. What is there left to argue about?"
"...Regarding the Leadership Module, we made an agreement a long time ago... The Titan Master's prophecy stated that the reincarnation of the Thirteenth Prime would ultimately come to Earth, and he would need the Leadership Module to evolve into a qualified super Leader. That's why we allowed Megatronus Prime to steal it..."
After a moment of silence, a deep voice that had never spoken before finally put an end to this ghostly meeting.
"...He is about to awaken. I can feel his heart beating faster. The time left for the Thirteenth Prime is running out!"
...
"Master!"
It took Forerunner more than half an hour to catch up with Sun Cheng. By this time, they had already entered Egyptian territory.
Sun Cheng was currently stopped in the midst of a typical North African desert, and Forerunner transformed back into his combat form when he landed.
The words he had intended to say upon seeing his master were immediately swallowed as he saw the horrified expression on Sun Cheng's face.
Forerunner had noticed a massive claw mark on the armored chest of Sun Cheng's mechanical body.
This claw mark had left a deep imprint on Sun Cheng's specially designed mechanical body armor, and it was positioned directly over his Spark.
Sun Cheng silently lowered his head to look at the scar on his chest, taking a moment before he uttered a few words, "The six Primus..."
He wasn't a fool; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find the Nameless Temple with just fragments of the All Spark and some information from Skyfire's past.
Since he couldn't obtain the Leadership Module, it was most likely that only he knew where it was. Therefore, he planned to stir up trouble in the east, leading the Autobots and the Skytiger Legion to have a good fight. As for himself, he was interested in a superweapon Lord Fallen had supposedly created on Earth to destroy the sun, as mentioned in the information he had absorbed from the All Spark fragments.
Sun Cheng had no intentions of destroying the sun, but there were so many stars in the universe that he could find another suitable one.
The All Spark might not be as hotly pursued as the Leadership Module, but it was still a valuable resource. In the absence of the Leadership Module, having the technology to create All Spark was a good alternative.
Of course, nothing would be as smooth as he imagined. He had to plan carefully.
Thinking about this, the anger that had built up in Sun Cheng's chest gradually subsided.
