I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 835 443: [Marvelous Fate Sutra]

The success rate isn't actually low; firstly, these intelligent machines were originally human.

"One needs to create something similar to the Transformer's Spark to activate the intelligent machines, granting them life."

It's impossible to have Gu Shanhai activate them one by one; that would be too troublesome.

Therefore, he immediately thought of a certain unfortunate fellow.

The digital life immersed in virtual reality, now still serving as servers and data nodes, is perfect for further exploitation, becoming the self-conceived spark source of the Ascension Empire.

Such a vast empire must surely have a central consciousness for integration and planning, essentially an artificial intelligence.

The planet-scale high-energy computer he crafted is very suitable.

With readily available materials, Gu Shanhai did not think of making another one, wasting resources for nothing.

"It's just as well to recycle waste, good thing it hasn't broken yet." Gu Shanhai checked the planet-scale high-energy computer, and since it hasn't been used to its limit, the irreversible damage is only a small part; it only needs to be dismantled and reinstalled.

Luckily, the advent of Xuandao Technique emerged; otherwise, Gu Shanhai would still need to make extra expenses as the start-up fund for the Ascension Empire adulthood ceremony.

"System, prepare the plan and give me an expenditure report." Gu Shanhai directly let the Four Saints Beasts System handle it.

Gu Shanhai just needs to focus on the work, but not now.

The plan is already in the pipeline, but to implement it, it will have to wait until Gu Shanhai has cultivated the Dao Fruit and broken through the Magic Awakening Stage.

Mainly because he doesn't have much free time now.

"Myriad Connection Law" is a long-term income source with slow and steady results, while Dao Fruit· Multiflower is the current greatest benefit, naturally to be prioritized later.

The Four Saints Beasts System quickly arranged everything and thoughtfully set reminders for Gu Shanhai, so he wouldn't forget. Once breakthrough success stabilizes self, timely reminders will occur.

But for such a major event, Gu Shanhai wouldn't forget.

Then, his gaze fell upon the Multi-Life Flower; this Dao Fruit is already in the fruiting stage, just waiting to step into the last stage, becoming Gu Shanhai's breakthrough material.

"A month, at most a month should be enough, though there are quite a few conflicts; I have to continually sort and reconcile."

Gu Shanhai inserted a hundred and thirty-nine types of concept force's dimensional energy systems inside, and now these energy systems are interweaving and merging into the Dao Fruit.

If it were only ten kinds, indeed it wouldn't cause such a big problem; Gu Shanhai could just leave it to the Four Saints Beasts System with no issues.

But now the number is more than tenfold, making Gu Shanhai's scalp numb as various conflicts and contradictions erupt from time to time.

Even the top-most technique in the Xuandao Universe can't simultaneously utilize a hundred and thirty-nine types of concept force; once it exceeds ten types, various issues arise, mostly revolving within single digits, inevitability above two digits.

Xuandao Technique itself forms through the mutual cooperation of concept forces, akin to inheritance and bloodline, possessing inherent commonality rather than outright opposition.

Except for the protagonist, who might fortuitously perceive some true Yin-Yang intentions, such as Yin-Yang Grind, during the cultivation of two conflicting techniques; otherwise, normal people practicing this way are likely to end up deviating into madness, becoming a waste or even facing direct death.

Even Gu Shanhai doesn't dare to do this, as he succeeded after numerous failures, not by a direct revelation during battle.

"A month's time isn't too long; if only it could speed up."

He indeed wants, but accelerating isn't just about wanting; the Magic Awakening Stage was already skewed, let alone the so-called Dao Fruit. Xuanzhen Realm's cultivators' breakthroughs didn't use such myriad laws.

Moreover, compared to the time Xuanzhen Realm cultivators take to break through from Divine Phase to Magic Awakening Stage, Gu Shanhai's speed would make them question their life.

If Gu Shanhai told them he could break through the Magic Awakening Stage in a month, they wouldn't even contemplate thoughts of murder and treasure plunder; they'd just think he's crazy.

Change the month to ten thousand years, and greed would surely arise.

[Breeding Moon Star Girl experiencing massive death phenomenon]

Suddenly, a prompt from the Four Saints Beasts System popped up before Gu Shanhai.

"What's the cause?" Gu Shanhai wondered and checked his collection.

The Moon Star Girl within his body storage did not show such conditions, clearly isolated; since it doesn't affect his internal storage, it indicates it can't affect him.

[Initially suspected bloodline collapse triggers]

"Bloodline collapse? What's going on with Didor?" Gu Shanhai's attention was on cultivating Dao Fruit; Spiritual Sense couldn't be pulled out for investigation, not a huge deal since intelligent machines can assist in scrutiny.

[Simultaneously occurring bloodline collapse, trigger due to sun concept force and moon concept force conflict, causing third-party bloodline disorder]

[Symptoms of genetic collapse]

"No, Didor is the protagonist; how can something happen to him?"

Gu Shanhai felt puzzled, saying the Moon Star Girl collapsing due to losing protagonist fortune and balance from bloodline and moon concept force is normal, not being the protagonist; mishaps are quite usual.

But Didor is now the genuine protagonist of the Moon Star Universe, only able to mystically comprehend some power to consolidate the three forces within rather than collapse immediately.

[Didor's vital signs are weakening, without timely treatment, the mortality rate is 99%]

"Oh, then don't save him." Gu Shanhai sees no reason to rescue him; dying is better than having the protagonist block his way.

"But speaking of which, being a protagonist, what mission does he have?"

Gu Shanhai considered this, protagonists surely bearing missions, like before coupling, the Moon Star Girl targeted Demon Claw, and Didor needed to facilitate realm coupling, etc.

Precisely due to these missions, the protagonist finds space for survival, otherwise genuinely crafted out for amusement wouldn't be fitting.

[Didor seeking help from Ascension Empire, arrange a response?]

"Eh, he actually asks for help."

"Based on data extrapolation, how long can Didor sustain himself?"

[Ten minutes at most, then imbalanced energy results in a massive explosion]

"Respond to the help plea, arrive in five minutes, conduct official treatment in fifteen; if he survives, treat him; if he dies, collect data."

Gu Shanhai hoped to see what trouble the opposing party is stirring.

[With the current technology level of Ascension Empire, treatment is impossible]

"..." Gu Shanhai forgot; Ascension Empire's medical advancement never really progressed, primarily all intelligent machines, issues arise then just reconstruct.

"Exert all effort, even if unable to save, leave a good impression." Gu Shanhai reasoned this since if Didor manages through, there'd be an explanation.

If indeed he survives, Gu Shanhai might even gain an additional research subject.

The research certainly would be on how he managed to survive, and such resilience can only be dubbed a protagonist halo.

Of course, despite the protagonist halo, there must be a sensible performance period; no logical violation with a snap recovery, at least shout out "Break for me!"

[Command issued]

Gu Shanhai idly performed a divination, naturally on Didor, and his fortune was ominously grim, minuscule survival probability.

He didn't delve deeper into divining the cause, primarily because he's too occupied, otherwise wouldn't scrimp on lifespans.

"Couldn't be the world doesn't need a protagonist, so it's cleanup time?" Gu Shanhai jested, recalling a certain unlucky transmigrator protagonist who properly crossed by formal procedures yet ended up as a virus.

Though compared to said unfortunate one, Didor might be more tragic, possibly a case of flogging the horse after achieving the goal.
