It was rare for Heaven's Pride Hammer to take the initiative to communicate, and even rarer for the conversation to go so smoothly.
Sun Cheng naturally wouldn't miss such a golden opportunity and was prepared to clarify all his doubts.
After organizing his thoughts briefly, he continued, "Before the dawn of time, in the war involving Prima and the Universe Emperor, Prima emerged victorious?"
"Yes, but it was a Pyrrhic victory."
"Could you please provide more details?"
"Prima sealed the Universe Emperor, but he himself had to enter a long period of hibernation due to severe injuries. Some of the Thirteen Primes sacrificed themselves, while others succumbed to the temptations of the Universe Emperor, leading to conflicts among former brothers and sisters."
"Is Lord Fallen the same as Megatronus Prime? Did he kill Solus Prime?"
"Yes."
"Has Liege Maximo Emperor fallen as well?"
"Yes, he was the earliest one to fall but remained hidden until Megatronus Prime's fall. The Universe Emperor valued his wisdom and lured him to darkness with power and supreme authority, betraying the other Primes."
"Is Liege Maximo Emperor still alive?"
"Uncertain, but he should still be alive. His wisdom was already beyond that of the First Awakener, and he gained evil powers from the Universe Emperor, so he should be able to evade pursuit by the other Primes."
"Which of the Primes have already sacrificed themselves?"
"I don't know for sure, but I can confirm that the First Awakener, Solus Prime, and Thirteenth Primes have already perished."
"Can the fallen Primes be awakened again?"
"Some can, while others cannot."
"Could you provide more details on why some can and some cannot be awakened?"
"Awakening is more dangerous than you can imagine. We lack a certain reverence for life, to the point where when we make choices, we can never be certain if the awakened being will truly be the same as before."
"In the ancient Cybertronian legends, is the Primus royal lineage descended from the First Awakener?"
"I'm not sure what you mean by the Primus royal lineage, but the Thirteen Primes did create a race on Cybertron, based on their own appearance."
"In Cybertronian myths, are the First Awakener and Thirteenth Primes still alive?"
"Unless the Creator awakens, the First Awakener is unlikely to return. But the Thirteenth Primes could potentially be reawakened, though I'm unsure of their current status."
"Are the Ancient Titans and Giant Fierce Beasts also ancient beings created by the Thirteen Primes?"
"The Ancient Titans were the first batch of helpers created by the Creator before the Primes, but they had obvious flaws and were subsequently abandoned by the Creator. As for the Giant Fierce Beasts, I'm not sure what those creatures are."
Sun Cheng continued to ask Heaven's Pride Hammer many questions, taking advantage of this rare opportunity. While some of the answers were vague, they were still much better than Sun Cheng's previous guesswork.
As the conversation progressed, it gradually shifted back to Earth.
"What is so special about Earth that it has attracted multiple Primus beings?" Sun Cheng inquired.
Once again, Heaven's Pride Hammer responded with silence, which, in a way, was an answer in itself.
Undeterred, Sun Cheng continued, "Could Earth be the resting place of the Prima you mentioned earlier?"
Skyfire's memories of ancient Cybertronian myths included mentions of Prima. However, the ancient myths did not specify Prima by name but rather referred to the entity as the Creator, sometimes described as large as a planet.
Despite Heaven's Pride Hammer's previous answers verifying some of the ancient Cybertronian myths as true history, Sun Cheng still found it hard to imagine an entity as massive as a planet.
"Perhaps it's just an exaggeration in the myths," he thought to himself, trying to reassure himself.
He waited for Heaven's Pride Hammer's response, but, like before, it remained silent.
Although he was somewhat disappointed, Sun Cheng had indirectly confirmed some of his suspicions. Earth was not a simple planet, and it likely held important secrets, possibly even being the resting place of Prima. Otherwise, he couldn't fathom why the two sacred artifacts of Cybertronian civilization, the All Spark and the Leadership Module, would be present on Earth.
One of the Thirteen Primes, Lord Fallen, and another Primus, Solus Prime's weapon, Heaven's Pride Hammer, had also appeared on Earth.
"Alright," after waiting for over half an hour and realizing he wouldn't get any more hidden information from Heaven's Pride Hammer, Sun Cheng sighed and gave up on further questioning.
However, he continued to gaze at Heaven's Pride Hammer and tentatively asked, "Although I still don't understand the relationship between you and Solus Prime or Primus, we've been in contact for some time now. I believe that with your abilities, you should have gained some understanding of me and my faction."
"Earth is becoming increasingly dangerous, with the Skytiger Legion, Quintessa civilization, and Earthlings..."
"Even though you're unwilling to reveal the secrets of Earth to me, I can still sense that this planet will become a new epicenter of turmoil in the future and will only grow more perilous."
"I know that before the dawn of time, there was no distinction between Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron. Those of us known as Decepticons were merely variants created by the Quintessa civilization. But we still count as Cybertronians, as descendants of the Primes."
"The Civil War between Autobots and the Skytiger Legion has already devastated our homeworld, Cybertron."
"And Earth, guided by your subtle influence, is the second home we've found on this journey."
"Please, consider our shared identity as Cybertronians and descendants of the Primes. Offer us some assistance!"
"Our peaceful days are running out!"
In the crystal container, the azure electric arcs surrounding Heaven's Pride Hammer were quickly absorbed by the weapon. The hammer's body trembled slightly, emitting a faint hum.
After skillfully playing the emotional card, Sun Cheng stood silently on the side, watching Heaven's Pride Hammer and waiting for its response.
Although he had no great expectations, there was always a chance.
After a period of silence, Heaven's Pride Hammer finally spoke again, "Only a super Leader can freely utilize all of my abilities. However, with your current strength, you should be able to forge some simple weapons and equipment using my basic functions."
In essence, it was an agreement.
