Chapter 1602 - 1134: So It Was a Summoning Stone?
There are many ways to organize Hazy City, but what matters more to Zheng Yichen is Lilith, who is about to wake up.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Lilith, who had completed her self-upgrade, woke up on time.
"Boss, I’m back."
"Good." Zheng Yichen smiled as he looked at the lively Lilith once again: "Come on, let me see what new changes your upgrade has brought."
Lilith’s expression remained unchanged as she spoke: "Although I want to meet your expectations, this upgrade is merely an enhancement on the existing basis."
New functions? Not really, mainly because she already had so many functionalities. Gaining information from the Will of the World Fragments, her self-upgrade is about perfecting and strengthening the existing foundation.
The powers she uses are further enhanced, for example, effects like Fantasy Great Array Formation and Virtual Genesis.
The information from the Will of the World Fragments allows her to get closer to the state of ’World’s Will’ in the Virtual World, removing the need for simulation.
Before this, she was merely the highest authority in the Virtual World...
In other words, the Virtual World Core that was once integrated with her body has now shifted to a state similar to a God’s Core, akin to Zheng Yichen’s kind of God’s Core.
Highest authority and World’s Will may not seem different, but the difference is... significant.
Put it this way, she was previously like a Gundam pilot in the Virtual World, but now the Gundam has grown a brain and gained a soul. She is that important soul, no longer just a replaceable pilot.
When using Virtual Genesis, she can simulate the environment to a higher degree, and when Zheng Yichen needs to create special creatures, she can assist from the side.
"More importantly, the connectivity, the occupation by Malicious Erosion over the environment lets the parsing of the World’s Will effects further unfold, and the Unity of Heaven and Man you’ve long pursued, Boss, is now irrelevant."
"I stopped pursuing that a long time ago." Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched slightly in refute.
Unity of Heaven and Man? He doesn’t know it!
"Boss, here is the array diagram." Seeing Zheng Yichen feign ignorance, Lilith attentively handed over the relevant array diagram to him. The array was devised by Zheng Yichen, and after her self-upgrade, she made some minor optimizations to it.
With a single glance, Zheng Yichen directly decided to use it.
However, the other anomalies still need to be ’cleared.’ Since the new characteristics of the anomalies have been confirmed, there’s no need to be polite, just ’train’ all the anomalies directly.
Isn’t natural scenery better than those dangerous natural disaster scenes?
"Doris is also undergoing a self-upgrade, can you help check?" Chiang Wei quickly asked as she saw Zheng Yichen had finished the exchange.
"Wait a moment—" Lilith said, her eyes briefly glazing over before stating: "I’ve allocated some computing power, her upgrade is expected to finish within two hours."
"Has it become this fierce already?" Chiang Wei was stunned, more than half a year’s time compared to two hours? The difference is too vast.
"I’ve already completed my self-upgrade, so similar types of upgrades are quite easy to finish."
Lilith’s tone remained calm as she continued, what are her capabilities and what are her sister Doris’s capabilities? Additionally, Doris has obtained very little information about the World’s Will Fragments.
That small amount of information could be upgraded in half an hour were it not for the limitations of Doris’s capabilities.
What’s next remains the tasks Zheng Yichen needs to handle.
Sorting out the remaining anomalies to obtain more information from the World’s Will Fragments. Her upgrade is completed, but it can still be optimized.
"Gather!!"
Zheng Yichen directly announced the notification via broadcast.
The command room soon became bustling with activity.
Ahn Ke, who arrived, glanced at Lilith standing by Zheng Yichen, her tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly. She did not envy the presence of Lilith.
With great capability comes the right place. Lilith’s assistance significantly boosts not only Zheng Yichen but also provides enormous help to her as well.
Without Lilith during this period, the progress of some of her research projects hit a wall.
It’s not that research couldn’t continue, but adapting back to using a bicycle after getting used to an airplane felt uncomfortable.
Now that Lilith has completed her self-upgrade, their research standards can return to their previous levels, even stronger.
"The first batch of Synthetic Humans is completed; they can be used in the upcoming battle, want to give it a try?"
"Of course, we’ll start the timer now and set out in an hour."
Looking at the eager faces around him, Zheng Yichen announced the action time. He still had plenty of things accumulated that required Lilith’s assessment.
After defeating the monsters formed by the Will of the World Fragments, Zheng Yichen had obtained quite a few things. Well, adding up, there were less than five items in total so far, but given the identity of those monsters, it wasn’t a small amount.
None of these things appear to be equipment, so Zheng Yichen needs Lilith to analyze them further to see what exactly they are.
Afterward, Zheng Yichen handed those items to Lilith. Looking at the items provided by Zheng Yichen, Lilith sent them directly into the Virtual World for subsequent simulation testing.
A few minutes later, the corresponding test results came in.
This kind of thing is a type of crystal formed from the World’s Will Fragments, though it’s not an equipment-like thing.
Once it transforms into a crystalline thing, it differs from the World’s Will Fragments.
The World’s Will Fragments can be seen as soul fragments separated from the World itself; this type of item contains the power of those fragments in crystal form.
The World’s Will Fragments can turn into fragments, but these fragments cannot turn back into the World’s Will. Putting it more esoterically, this kind of thing is akin to high-level law fragments.
Natural high-rank Godhead.
The fragments contain fixed information...
And the fixed information, parsed by Lilith, is related to those monsters.
"Boss, you can consider this item as a type of summoning stone."
"Just like that??" Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue, thinking it was something immensely powerful, but it turned out to be just something for summoning?
"..." Lilith’s expression became slightly serious: "Boss, this item holds great potential. Normally, it can be used for summoning; you can also summon using the Ark of Life. The summoned creature still belongs to the World’s Will fragment."
"But I’ve taken down a bunch of these already." Zheng Yichen recalled what he’d done during Lilith’s self-upgrade period; he’d eliminated thousands of such creatures.
Not that they were cannon fodder, but because the number of phenomena was too many. Even though each of these monsters was a super boss, when it came to combat strength, Zheng Yichen was stronger.
"But since you praise them so highly, we shall find out through practical testing."
