I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 834 443: [Marvelous Fate Sutra]

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Shanhai did not close the portal right at the limit.

Instead, he closed it on the twentieth day. With the help of the Xuandao Technique, the originally extremely difficult decryption process was reduced to just fifteen days, which is why Gu Shanhai was so at ease.

This could be considered standing on the shoulders of the Xuandao Universe's civilization; otherwise, how could it have been this fast?

The reason he closed it on the twentieth day was that Gu Shanhai's Spiritual Sense had detected on the eighteenth day that the civilization of the Xuandao Universe had already noticed something and started further investigation. If he delayed any longer, he might be discovered.

Gu Shanhai couldn't allow them to find out. If they traced back to his location in the Moon Star Universe using some technology, what then?

The Moon Star Universe was already seen by him as a meal on his plate. If it were discovered, wouldn't Gu Shanhai lose greatly?

Compared to the Navia Universe and the cancerous universe, Gu Shanhai actually valued the Moon Star Universe, which was like a twin world, even more; it was as valuable as two bites.

"I wonder if I unlock the Ascension Empire's intelligence restrictions and grant them true self-awareness and life, can they reach the level of the Xuandao Universe through development?"

While adjusting the data of Dao Fruit·Multilife Flower, Gu Shanhai pondered over the matter.

Now, it was nearing perfection, and the remaining value was limited; he was preparing to leave and wanted to leave some disaster behind.

Of course, more importantly, he wanted to see if granting intelligence life could become a connection in the Rebirth Lotus.

While perfecting the Dao Fruit·Multilife Flower, Gu Shanhai had already started deriving his own "Blood Returning Technique," and currently, there was significant progress.

He named it the "Miao Yuan Technique."

To be honest, it worked quite well. Gu Shanhai took inheritance as the backbone, combined it with karma and luck, and expanded further. With the help of the Rebirth Lotus, Gu Shanhai's strength grew increasingly faster.

Accumulating in this way, even if Gu Shanhai did nothing, in a matter of ten to twenty thousand years, he could successfully transform into a true world.

The time was a bit long, and Gu Shanhai couldn't wait.

"With the 'Miao Yuan Technique,' the Rebirth Lotus seems to have become stronger. I can even vaguely locate these worlds through connections."

The "Miao Yuan Technique" and the Rebirth Lotus itself were complementary combinations, naturally capable of mutual enhancement. He could not only cultivate the "Miao Yuan Technique" through the Rebirth Lotus but also enhance the Rebirth Lotus through the "Miao Yuan Technique," and further strengthen through the ties with the Previous Life Biluo and Present Life Blessing.

The system on Gu Shanhai was mostly connected in a loop; affecting one part would influence the whole.

Basically, acquiring one skill amplified all active or passive skills on him, a chaining type.

So, Gu Shanhai was drawn to the Ascension Empire's intelligence; speaking of numbers, the swarm and intelligence had significant advantages as special species.

If the intelligence of the Ascension Empire weren't restricted by the Four Saints Beasts System, it would have been quite easy for intelligence to develop in numbers with its capabilities.

And this was precisely what Gu Shanhai had his eyes on.

After all, the "Miao Yuan Technique" derived from the "Blood Returning Technique," though completely different, still retained its core characteristics.

The more kin originally, the stronger; the more connections there were, the stronger the feedback and growth Gu Shanhai received.

Granting intelligence life could likely resemble a gestalt, being both an entity and countless individuals.

Once successful, intelligence would become the largest connection group within the Rebirth Lotus, providing considerable feedback to Gu Shanhai.

Fate doesn't care about strength, only depth.

The "Miao Yuan Technique" depends on the depth of fate as feedback; the deeper the fate, the more individual feedback received.

However, no matter how little the feedback, it's there; as long as the quantity increases, accumulating little by little would also be considerable.

Even if one intelligence can only provide a bit of experience, what if there were tens of billions of intelligence? Moreover, this provision isn't once, but repeatedly obtainable, so someone who can offer a hundred points of experience versus a hundred billion intelligence offering one point each naturally makes the latter more substantial.

Not to mention, reaching the degree where someone offers a hundred points of experience would be slower than producing more intelligence.

Gu Shanhai wouldn't artificially increase quality for such matters; it's better to optimize the quantity.

As for letting intelligence increase their original one-point experience to a hundred points, that's possible, but Gu Shanhai calculated the cost and found it would be a loss.

The production of intelligence would certainly require corresponding costs, not to mention granting life and animation, which requires resources no matter the item.

The quality improves, but the quantity drops; this gain and loss would leave Gu Shanhai not profiting but losing.

Naturally, he outright rejected the proposal.

However, if intelligence developed it themselves, that would be a different matter, and Gu Shanhai wouldn't arbitrarily prohibit it.

"I'll need to conduct an experiment, and if it succeeds, then I'll directly lift the restrictions."

After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Shanhai found this approach to be feasible.
