Chapter 142: Mechanical Brain! Artificial Godhead

Demiplane.

After evacuating Dorne, Sean immediately found a way to open a portal and entered the demiplane he had created.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"A regional magic ban area has been detected!"

As soon as his figure entered the demiplane, the knowledge in his brain began to scream. Since the fusion of the extraordinary relics of the Lord of the Underground, Xiao En's pollution has not been completely reduced, so the mysterious knowledge has a slight activation phenomenon, but it is different from the past activations. The mysterious knowledge is becoming more and more like an AI.

In other words, in Sean's cognitive embodiment, it became closer and closer to the concept of personal terminal assistance system on Earth in his previous life, that is, the lowest-end version of divine power.

The divine nature can be used as an information processing terminal to handle the prayers of a large number of believers and the requests of priests for divine powers. Now the mysterious knowledge in Sean's brain shows signs of transforming in this direction. It will process information from the outside world and convert it into corresponding messages and pass it to Sean.

At present, Xiao En has only completed the information processing of magic fluctuations, that is, injecting his own spell identification ability into the mysterious knowledge. When someone casts a spell nearby, it will automatically trigger a prompt of the mysterious knowledge.

According to the game-based understanding, if someone casts a spell within a certain range of Sean, the mysterious knowledge in his brain will automatically identify the spell (whether it will be successful depends on his own spell identification ability), and if successful, the corresponding information will be passed to Sean.

For example, 'Master, the enemy cast a fireball spell', or 'Psychic control spell fluctuations detected', or 'Teleportation spell fluctuations detected'. (This information depends on Sean's spell identification and knowledge abilities.)
This can provide a prescient insight into combat.

According to Sean's understanding of the laws of the world, the information processing capabilities of mysterious knowledge can be further improved.

The first step is to find out if there is anyone casting spells nearby and if there are any spell fluctuations.

The second step is to receive signals of a specific frequency and know who is calling you.

The third step should be to be very close to the range of abilities of the Godhead, to be able to handle faith, to respond to prayers, and to grant power.

Currently, Sean's research only involves the second step, because when he calls his teacher Ms. Hecate through the ceremony, it is this kind of concept. Sometimes it will appear that 'the god you called is not in the service area', but after a while the teacher will respond to him.

After the second stage of law fusion is completed, the mystical knowledge will be transformed into a signal receiver, which can be used to receive signals from certain people (ritual names, etc.), and even to mark one's own believers, and set certain people to call oneself directly without transfer. This is the treatment of devout believers, fanatics and those favored by God.

"Forbidden Magic Field?!"

Xiao En's expression was a little surprised. He turned around and saw the lake fairy standing shivering beside the lake not far away. Her upper body was tightly entangled by black cables. If she moved even the slightest, she would be electrocuted.

The power of Seal No. 1 is too strong!

Even the lake fairy who could cast 8th-level spells had no power to resist it.

Xiao En quickly flew over and said, "Let her go."

"She is my family!"

A slight arc of electricity streaked across the water, and the black cable extending from Sealed Artifact No. 1 - the Mechanical Brain slowly retracted. On its display, a line of words appeared: "Your family? She just suddenly broke into this demiplane."

The computing power of Seal No. 1 has spread throughout the entire demiplane and can detect the fluctuations of teleportation spells in the entire demiplane. As soon as the fairy in the lake opened the portal and entered, she fell directly into its control.

In the judgment of the mechanical brain, the fairy in the lake was an intruder, and was trapped to death on the spot by its forbidden magic field.

"Owner."

Nivea, the youngest sister of the Lady of the Lake, trembled and said, "What is it?..."

too frightening.

Facing this strange mechanical construct, she had the illusion that she was facing an ancient evil. They had never seen such a terrifying construct before.

"Seal No. 1 - Mechanical Brain."

Xiao En calmed the fairy in the lake and said softly, "It will be the operating center of this demiplane in the future, similar to the wizard's tower spirit."

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."

After that, Xiao En signaled the lake fairy, Nivea, to go to the bottom of the lake to rest for a while, then turned to look at the seal No. 1 beside him and said in a deep voice, "Come with me. Now you are free again, but there are some things I must explain to you first."

——Sealed Artifact No. 1 - Mechanical Brain [Activated Construct] (Challenge Level 24)? !

The black cables were tangled together, forming a series of legs under the computer case and the monitor. The mechanical brain moved slowly, and a line of characters appeared: "My energy is low now, and I need to recharge."

Charge?

Xiao En asked, "How do I charge it?"

Sealed Object No. 1 quickly replied, "Electricity. If not, use Thunder or Lightning Spells on me. It would be best if you could manipulate the weather and bring down a lightning storm near me."

——Control the weather.

The demiplane is Sean's home ground. He raised his hand lightly, and a thundercloud appeared in the air, followed by bolts of lightning. The lightning fell on Seal No. 1 and was quickly absorbed by it. The display screen also seemed to light up. It used the monitor as its head, the black chassis as its body, and countless cables as its limbs, constantly absorbing the falling lightning storm under the thundercloud.

This situation lasted for about ten minutes before Seal No. 1 stopped: "That's enough."

"This energy should be enough to keep things running for a month."

Xiao En took Seal No. 1 and walked towards the mountain in the center of the demiplane, which was a mountain artificially created by seismic magic.

Before Seal No. 1 even got close, he commented, "This mountain is too thin."

“It’s not thick enough.”

"If it uses Kronomancer's gravity reversal technique, it cannot build a standard floating city."

Xiao En paused for a moment and said calmly, "It hasn't grown up yet."

Seal No. 1 continued to comment: "I scanned this demiplane, and it is very short of supplies."

"I suggest you open the elemental channel."

"Build a portal that connects the elemental planes of earth, water, wind and fire. This will make it easier to obtain resources directly from the elemental planes in the future."

The Mechanical Brain got into character so quickly?
Xiao En said calmly: "I will consider it, but I currently lack the resources, and the construction of the demiplane is still in its infancy."

Sealed Object No. 1: "Then you need at least a tall tower."

"It's very disgraceful for a high-level wizard to not even have a tower."

No.

This guy is also a chatterbox? I never realized that the Mechanical Brain was so talkative before?

The corners of Xiao En's mouth twitched. He was poor, but he didn't say it because it was not decent.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain in the demiplane, Xiao En pointed to this area and said, "This will be your residence from now on. Tell me if you need anything, and I will find a way to build it for you."

hum.

The black chassis of Seal No. 1 began to roar, and then sheets of white paper came out, with a large amount of alchemical knowledge printed on them.

"Considering your current lack of resources, I have planned the most cost-effective development plan for you."

——Clockwork Repairman [Micro-Construct] (Challenge Level 1/2)!
A black cable brought the printed white paper to Xiao En's front, and a line of words appeared on the monitor: "The resources required for medium and large constructs are too huge."

"This is a micro-construct designed based on the mechanical creatures."

"It can meet your current needs."

"I have stored a lot of information about the path to alchemy and demigods in my body. If you need anything, you can directly query it through the built-in system."

A miniature hummingbird-like design emerges.

This ultra-small construct is only one or two centimeters in size, and its body is a bit like a bee, with a pair of mechanical wings on its back, a simple human face construct head, two tiny mechanical arms on its forelimbs, and a wasp-like stinger designed on the tail, which gives it a certain combat capability.

"Kind of like a bee, clockwork tinker?"

The invisible hand took the design drawing handed over by the mechanical brain, and Xiao En said in surprise: "Is this a construction worker?"

The black cable of Seal No. 1 swung and replied, "It's a small construction worker and repairman."

"During the Dark Ages, it was used to build a mausoleum that represented the twelve realms of Nirvana."

“They’re very cheap to build.”

"But to make it fully effective, you must first create a [Cluster of Clockwork Repairers]."

Swarm drones?
wrong.

The mechanical arms of these clockwork repairmen can be used to build more things. Xiao En looked at the data on the design drawings, which even listed the basic properties of these constructs. The data may have come from the mechanical realm of clock nirvana, because that is the home of the constructs.

--Strength 3, Agility 19, Constitution —, Intelligence 4, Wisdom 12, Charisma 10.

Reading magic. Xiao En quickly memorized the alchemical knowledge above by reading magic, and soon determined that these micro-constructs were something he could make. Their cost was about ten soul stones. A clockwork repairer cluster required at least one hundred such micro-constructs, and the cost was about one thousand five hundred soul stones.

It's acceptable. He can still afford this amount of money.

Sealed Artifact No. 1 continued, "There is nothing in this demiplane, except the heart of a lake that was created by the legendary spirits."

"People who don't know would think this is the Druids' sacred place in the forest!"

"I suggest building a mechanical hive in the demiplane first."

hum.

The black chassis roared again, and the mechanical brain quickly gave a specific execution plan through its own huge computing power.

"The first step is to build a mechanical hive."

"The second step is to open the passage to the Earth Elemental Plane and send out the mechanical bee colony to collect resources."

"The third step is to carry out mechanized transformation of the demiplane."

Xiao En took the execution plan and read it carefully. He had to say that the computing power of the Mechanical Brain was too strong. It even calculated how much resources would be consumed in each link. If the plan was executed, in about a year, the demiplane would be transformed into a constructed mechanical plane.

Complete mechanization would be the planet Cybertron.

No wonder mages need a tower spirit to assist them. It is difficult to complete such complex design calculations relying solely on the human brain.

Xiao En put away the plan in his hand and said calmly: "These things can be put on hold for now. The most important thing right now is the relationship between you and me."

Sealed Artifact No. 1: “…”

Xiao En said calmly: "Before executing your construction plan, I need to plant a secret mark on your soul."

The ceremony of recognizing the master.

Seal No. 1 is an intelligent construct. Without signing a master-servant contract with it and engraving his own secret mark on its soul, it would be difficult for Sean to trust any plan it offers.

At present, Xiao En is not its owner, and the owner of Seal No. 1 is still the alchemy demigod who once fell.

That alchemical demigod had fallen a long time ago, which meant that Sealed Artifact No. 1 was a completely free self-awareness.

Sealed Artifact No. 1: “…”

"You want to be my master?"

Xiao En nodded calmly and said, "This is the basis of our cooperation."

He did not think that Seal No. 1 was a tool, a powerful seal. In Sean's opinion, Seal No. 1 was already an activated AI life.

It even has a strong desire to survive.

Sealed Artifact No. 1: “…”

Xiao En looked at the huge mechanical brain in front of him and said calmly, "You are willing to follow me so straightforwardly. You must have sensed the danger."

"The demigods of death are ready to make a move."

"If I'm not mistaken, the most important legacy left by the foreigners is the man-made godhood."

"It is also because of the man-made godhood that I was secretly plotted against."

"0 and 1."

"These two numbers have very special meanings in my world. You should be one part of the artificial godhead, and the other part is Seal No. 0, right?"

Sealed Artifact No. 1: “…”

"Lady Hecate told you?"

Xiao En shook his head slightly and said, "The teacher only told me some key information. I guessed a lot of things myself."

“0 and 1 can build a virtual world.”

"And the real world is a bit too illusory and beautiful to be real. The twelve realms of Nirvana in the clock, if I'm not mistaken, the real world was created using the dream plane, right?"

Eamon calls himself the Bell Ringer.

He wants to wake up those who are sleeping, and this sleeping is not just an adjective.

Virtual reality requires the separation of consciousness from the body.

If you want to create an inner world, it must be related to the dream plane.

But here, the dream becomes reality.

Seal No. 1: "I am a little surprised at how fast you are growing!"

"Yes."

"The Real Kingdom is a plane transformed from real dreams. The demigods work together to reshape the fundamental laws of the world and transform dreams into reality."

"It's as if the illusion reflects reality and gives birth to many indescribable evil spirits."

"What else do you know?"

Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion can be switched, illusion becomes reality and reality becomes illusion.

Xiao En said calmly, "In fact, this is not difficult to guess. The real world cannot prove destiny, which means that the laws of the real world are not complete. Among the many planes, only the dream plane is the least real, but dreams have infinite possibilities."

There was a movie in the previous life called Inception, in which the deepest dreams were extremely real.

Xiao En continued: "I also know that you don't want to die. Man-made godheads should not have self-awareness."

"If you want to combine 0 and 1, you have to reformat it."

"The gods are one and the same!"

The words fell.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. The black cables seemed like dancing tentacles with flashing arcs of electricity jumping on them. Sean's words seemed to have touched the reverse scale of Seal No. 1, and it suddenly became extremely manic.

The black chassis of the mechanical brain seemed to be roaring: "Aren't you afraid of me?..."

It now looks like a monster that chooses people to eat.

Xiao En calmly shook his head and said, "Since I dared to bring you out, I must have made some preparations..."

"You don't think I'm the only one here?"

Upon hearing this, Sealed Object No. 1 immediately became obedient.

Lady Hecate, and Eamon.

Even with its ability, it is unable to sense the aura of these two powerful demigods, because the "divine eyes cannot reach" obscures everything. However, Xiao En in front of it is so confident, so it is certain that one of the two must be present, and it is even possible that both demigods are watching here.

The last Portkey.

In order to get it, Amon was willing to become the enemy of the entire Path of Death. He cared about Sean's safety more than anyone else.

Xiao En's tone calmed down a lot, and he said calmly: "I'll give you ten minutes to think about it."

"You want to live."

"I promise you that I will not format you, but you must acknowledge me as your Lord first."

Seal No. 1 seemed a little unbelievable: "You don't want the [Artificial Godhead]?"

Xiao En shook his head and said, "To me, you and Seal No. 0 are more valuable than the man-made godhead."

Two extremely powerful AI lives.

If they could be controlled, their value would far exceed that of man-made godheads.

Of course, if they really can't come to an agreement, they can only consider removing Seal No. 1. Xiao En has other ways to obtain the alchemical knowledge stored in it. There should be a hard drive-like structure in the body of the mechanical brain, which will be imprinted with a lot of knowledge that Xiao En needs.
