Chapter 567: Chapter 563: Enhancement
"???"
Three question marks popped up in Xie Yusheng’s mind.
Who is this idiot?
Emperor Taiyi? And the chosen child?
How old is he this year?
Thirty-one.
A thirty-one-year-old child?
But then he seemed to realize something, this voice...
It seemed to be coming directly from his mind.
Suddenly, he gasped.
Fuck, this isn’t an idiot.
It’s a big shot.
He jerked violently, his body shivering uncontrollably, "You... what did you say!? I have become the chosen child!? Do I need to pay... uh, I mean, what do I need to give?"
"..."
Hearing Xie Yusheng’s reaction, Gu Jinlai fell silent for a moment.
So to say...
Had he been communicating with such a person all these years?
"Big shot? Ah no, Emperor Taiyi, are you still there? Has the spiritual energy recovered? The Demon God returned? Big shot, can you elaborate?"
Xie Yusheng asked somewhat nervously.
"You don’t need to know too much right now, the first thing you need to do is find a location suitable for cultivation, and I will point out a few places for you,"
Gu Jinlai said.
This time Xie Yusheng was sure, this voice...
Really was coming from his mind.
For a moment, he held his phone, wishing he could take a few photos and post them on his social circle, "You say, and I’ll open the map on my phone to search and record."
"No need, keep your computer running, I will directly use Divine Thought to retrieve the map-related information."
Gu Jinlai said.
"Keep the computer running..."
Xie Yusheng felt somewhat odd hearing this big shot say "computer," but he still tried flipping through the information page by page as before.
"Like this?"
"Not bad."
Gu Jinlai responded indifferently, "The speed at which you maintain is a frequency, as long as I grasp the frequency, I can absorb the information."
"Hiss!"
Xie Yusheng gasped.
Is this a humanoid CPU?
Did ancient big shots all play so advanced?
Xie Yusheng flipped through page by page, soon finishing the document on the "repulsion shield."
He had to continue opening the next document.
A large nuclear power engine!
For a moment, the astonished Gu Jinlai, who wanted to stop him, stared in disbelief.
"This Xie Yusheng..."
He suddenly discovered...
This young man has a vivid imagination.
He not only possessed amazing imagination but was also a top student with extensive relevant knowledge. Surprisingly, this knowledge base was not entirely bound by the physical rules of the real world.
One man’s stone can polish jade.
To the physics world, he was like a gem born from another mountain range.
In his own mountains and rivers, he was insignificant, but at critical moments when the project team encountered difficulties, he could become a guiding Spirit Light, opening new ideas for others.
"He has potential."
Gu Jinlai pondered in his heart.
Perhaps...
It’s time to let him unfold a bit?
Such a talented seed, if led into the path of immortal cultivation, wouldn’t that be a misstep.
"I need to think carefully about how to guide him properly."
Gu Jinlai thought, reviewing the position of his "hometown"—Nankai City—in his mind.
Then he randomly selected two other places and transmitted them directly to Xie Yusheng’s mind through spiritual resonance.
This tangible fantasy method once again widened Xie Yusheng’s eyes, "This... this is..."
"Go ahead, it’s only early in the spiritual energy recovery, and my awakening time is limited. First, go to the first location and find a factory to wait for my next instructions."
The voice of Gu Jinlai echoed.
"A... factory?"
"The development of your world’s civilization is somewhat similar to the Demon God Path of the Cultivation World by borrowing external objects, but it is far inferior to the Demon God Path. However, since you have the foundation, I don’t mind guiding you onto this path."
"The... Demon God Path?"
"Correct."
Gu Jinlai packaged his own concepts of Upper Spirit Venerable, Eternal Life Tower, Demon God Body, Heavenly Master, and giant divine weapon, and transmitted them to Xie Yusheng in a way he could understand.
Suddenly, Xie Yusheng shuddered violently.
With a tone almost devout, he murmured, "Flesh is weak, machinery ascends!"
"Hmm!?"
"These beings known as the Demon Spirit Clan have uploaded their entire racial consciousness to a server called the Eternal Life Tower... My God, the legend is actually true!? So, the so-called Immortals and Divine Demons are actually researchers who have mastered super technology!? The end of scientific development is really theology, turning people into real divine demons!?"
Xie Yusheng shouted excitedly.
"Upload the racial consciousness to a server called the Eternal Life Tower!?"
Upon hearing what Xie Yusheng said, Gu Jinlai’s eyes also flashed with Spirit Light.
This...
Is this the true face of Demon Realm civilization!?
The form of the Demon Spirits is their stream of consciousness!?
Is the true core of their race the Eternal Life Tower!?
Those Spirit Venerables, equivalent to complete streams of consciousness with their own personalities, and the remaining Demon Spirits, even the Catastrophic-level Demon Spirits, are actually just fragmented entities formed from thought consciousness?
"This is good, this is good, big guy, I want to learn this! Please teach me, big guy! Beneath the skin lies mere bones, appearances and sounds make no difference, only the mechanical aura is the path to eternal life!"
Xie Yusheng hurriedly said.
"..."
Upon hearing what Xie Yusheng said, Gu Jinlai’s lips twitched.
He thought...
There was no need to persuade anymore.
This was a severe case of sci-fi syndrome.
"Well then, let’s rent a factory first. The path of the Demon God involves the use of ’spiritual’ energy, so the location is very important. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I’m off to Nankai City to manage a mechanical factory!"
Xie Yusheng was filled with boundless energy.
Nothing excited him more than materializing things that existed originally in games.
Especially since the thing he liked was also the trend of the future era.
This was even more thrilling than 2D wives stepping into the 3D world.
"Go on then, I’ll give you your next instructions in due time."
Gu Jinlai said.
"Yes."
Xie Yusheng honestly responded, eager to take out his phone to log into the app and buy a ticket.
After he bought the ticket, no more thoughts came to his mind, and he tentatively called out, "Emperor Taiyi? Senior Taiyi? Are you still there?"
There was no response.
Xie Yusheng wasn’t too disappointed.
It was the early stage of spiritual energy recovery, after all.
It’s not easy for the big shots to fully wake up.
"So, this is what Immortal Cultivation is like, I’ve decided, from today onwards, I want to cultivate immortality."
Xie Yusheng clenched his fist tightly: "Strive! I must strive!"
As for Qiao Siyu, and the matter of being transferred to the True Immortal Research Institute, he had completely cast it out of his mind.
Women were nowhere near as fun as working with iron.
...
"Huff!"
Gu Jinlai let out a long sigh.
He rubbed his temples.
Searching for Xie Yusheng’s Spirit Light did not take much effort, but Blue Star seemed too far from the Longevity World.
Just this short period had placed a great burden on his True Spirit.
Without Qingguang for recovery, he had to retrieve his True Spirit for now and wait for Xie Yusheng to arrive in Nankai City before directing him towards his home.
"This contact, Xie Yusheng was clearly not at his workplace but in his private room? Judging by the decoration and space, his conditions seem not bad... I can guide him to demolish my family’s old house for financial compensation, thus easing the economic burden on my family a little."
Gu Jinlai thought to himself.
He was not referring to the house where his parents currently lived but a yard on the outskirts of the city, quite spacious.
Plus the surrounding land, it was suitable for building a mechanical factory.
Just...
If he wanted to create the second-generation Cheng Ying Mecha, which stood tens of meters tall, the area was a bit small.
But for the initial model of Cheng Ying Mecha, which was about six meters tall, it was still adequate.
After resting briefly, Gu Jinlai recuperated his Spiritual State.
"Repulsion shield, large-scale Nuclear Power Engine..."
He carefully savored these ideas in his mind and felt enlightened.
Especially the use of electromagnetic force in the repulsion shield moved him.
With the abilities from the Chaotic Star Light Body and the traits of electromagnetic rotation of the Child of the Stars, he could further improve the effects of the repulsion shield.
Combined with the power output from the large-scale Nuclear Power Engine...
The combat power of the second-generation Cheng Ying Mecha would be outstanding even among Void Immortals.
"Due to the increased size of the reactor and force field generator, the volume needs to be expanded to twenty to thirty meters... However, because of the repulsion shield, it doesn’t wholly rely on the material’s own defensive power, so the cost hasn’t increased much, around a thousand parts are still enough to forge a Cheng Ying Mecha."
Gu Jinlai pondered, on how exactly...
He still needed to optimize it with Qingguang and further improve it with Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi.
For the time being, he ordered Xin Tianqi to thoroughly investigate illegal criminal behavior in Tian Nan and sent them to Lingxiao Palace for his personal judgment, while simultaneously sharing his new data for the two to study and learn.
He also took out the Cheng Ying Mecha that was stored inside the Qiankun Ring and handed it over to Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi for physical modifications.
This initial model of Cheng Ying Mecha no longer contributed to Gu Jinlai’s combat power, so he fully entrusted it to a few Heavenly Monarchs for detailed research.
Apart from this initial model of Cheng Ying Mecha, he also retained the Aries Star Palace and granted some authority to Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi, enabling them to utilize the simulation functions of Artifact Spirit Purple Sun and the spiritual environment of Aries Star Palace to assist their studies.
After finishing all these, time unknowingly passed three days.
And this was also the time when an ancient Abyss Lord from a hundred years ago was about to return to Qian Heavenly Realm.
Gu Jinlai was also eager to meet this Abyss Lord, hoping to see if he could get information about the remnants of the Libra Star Lord from him.
With that in mind, he clicked his tongue and gathered Chi Feng, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, Lu Zhanxian, and Xuan Yue to accompany him, and they directly took to the skies toward Moon State where Sanqing Hall was located.
