The Growth of a God

Chapter 333 - 3: Artificial Immortal

Meng Ji is an anomaly among the Immortals.

Her birth itself is an incredible miracle.

Normally, Immortals are relics left by Li Hao in the Mountain and Sea Realm, unique entities born from the endless remains.

And the most basic condition to nurture an Immortal is that the relic left by Li Hao must maintain a certain degree of "wholeness."

However, Meng Ji is different; she was pieced together by Balian from different parts of Li Hao’s remains.

Every part of her body comes from different corpses, and she was born later than all other Immortals.

In a certain sense, Meng Ji is a "artificial" Immortal.

Perhaps precisely because of this, Meng Ji’s thoughts are more manic than most Immortals.

It must be noted that Immortals are synonymous with madness and eccentricity in the Mountain and Sea Realm, universally recognized as "lunatics" by most races.

Meng Ji’s thoughts are even more insane than the Immortals, which speaks volumes about her state.

The other Immortals may have peculiar views, but under Balian’s restraint, they still maintain some universal moral views.

Yet Meng Ji completely disregards these; she has engaged in "meaningless slaughter," a severely prohibited act among Immortals, more than once.

When an Immortal who fears not death begins to indulge in their lust for killing, one can imagine how terrifying it is.

Unable to do anything else, Balian had to confine Meng Ji within the Brilliant Realm, never daring to let her out.

Fortunately, Meng Ji is indifferent to this, and instead, she gets along extremely well with Luo Fu, whose character is similarly extreme.

With the help of Luo Fu, Meng Ji has demonstrated an extremely high talent for technology.

Additionally, she is highly adept at the Exorcism and Spirit-Controlling Techniques, allowing her to unsurprisingly become a scientist among the Immortals.

For the Immortal civilization, which has already embarked on a mythical path, utilizing Extraordinary Power in daily life is merely instinct.

Furthermore, if they can combine Extraordinary Power with scientific technology, it becomes an interesting topic of study.

After all, Extraordinary Power is birthed by twisting rules, deriving Idealist Power from the Ascension Ladder.

Meanwhile, science is the study of world rules, harnessing the Power of the Masses and adhering to physical laws and mathematical laws, defined as Material Power.

Simply put, the biggest difference between the two is replicability.

In theory, even if a pair of twins embark on the same Ascension Ladder, the Extraordinary Power they possess will never be identical.

This means if the Ascender with the Extraordinary Power dies, everything developed based on their power loses all significance.

Just like Ascenders who practice the Exorcism and Spirit-Controlling Techniques, the Heaven and Earth Ghosts and Gods they awaken differ based on their ideals and abilities.

Only the Immortals are different, as they are fundamentally identical, even more similar than twins.

Additionally, Immortals inherently have no concept of death.

Artifacts developed based on their Extraordinary Power can largely ignore the issue of death.

Thus, the integration of myth and science that the Mountain and Sea People arduously pursue naturally manifests within the Immortals.

Under such circumstances, Immortal civilization began exploring worlds outside the Mountain and Sea Realm earlier than the Mountain and Sea People.

While the Mountain and Sea People were still considering the concept of the "Sky City," Immortals had already successfully left the Mountain and Sea Realm...

When the Mountain and Sea People were pondering how to break through the time-space vortex, Immortals had already started exploring the void of All Heavens and Myriad Realms...

Without relying on the power of any Gods.

The Immortals, purely relying on their fearlessness of death and ceaseless clever ideas, devised the highest technological crystallization of most advanced civilizations—the Single-unit Ark.

It is a specialized vessel capable of exploring the void between All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Due to its inherent spatial attributes, dimensional changes within the void can hardly interfere with the order inside the Single-unit Ark.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Single-unit Ark that traverses the All Heavens and Myriad Realms is essentially a miniature, self-circulating Small World.

The crucial point is that the Single-unit Ark carries the prefix "Single-unit."

This indicates that similar arks need not carry many personnel and resources, ideally serving as the vanguard role for a civilization exploring other worlds.

Meng Ji is the pilot of the first Single-unit Ark and also one of its developers.

Unfortunately, Meng Ji does not play by the rules.

Or rather, no Immortal truly adheres to conventions.

The first few test flights went well, with reference coordinates from the Marz World, Divine Fall Realm, Light Realm, and Pandora World; issues were not a big deal.

Until a recent test flight when Meng Ji suddenly deviated from the planned trajectory, heading towards a completely unfamiliar realm.

Even though the Immortals immediately contacted Yao Xin, hoping to retrieve Meng Ji promptly, the Single-unit Ark ultimately got lost.

Thankfully, Yao Xin repeatedly confirmed through the Celestial Tao System, verifying that Meng Ji did not completely lose contact, instead benefiting from a mishap by entering a civilization world existing with Gods and life.

According to Yao Xin, it seems the Gods of that world proactively summoned Meng Ji.

Although what transpired is currently unclear, it is roughly determined that Meng Ji’s situation is not too dire.

What’s truly worrying Yao Xin is the exceptionally bizarre rules of that world.

Even with the Celestial Tao System’s enhancement, it cannot smoothly discern the truth of that world.

[Do not worry, Meng Ji is fine.]

At this moment, the will of the Creator descended.

The re-entering dreams of Li Hao, carrying an expression of either amazement or realization, comforted the slightly anxious Yao Xin.

Because the world Meng Ji has entered is precisely the world where Healing Angel Raphael resides.

Li Hao isn’t sure if this is a coincidence.

He can only be certain that he no longer needs to consider what method to use in approaching that Hands of God from the Yawei God.

[This is the first time the ’Celestial Tao System’ cannot directly interfere with a faith-based world...]

[It seems the world’s secrets might relate to that Hands of God?]

With such doubts, Li Hao actively strengthened the power of the Celestial Tao System, attempting to interfere with the faith line from Meng Ji in the stance of the Creator.

This is not difficult; it just requires some time.
