Having Bing Xin cooperate with him and take part in the fusion ritual of the Mechanical God Rule True Body had initially been nothing more than a fleeting stray thought that crossed Saine's mind.
At the time, while socializing, he had been organizing in his mind the framework for constructing the Mechanical Civilization's Fusion True Body. The idea had merely been a flash of inspiration amid the flow of his thoughts.
But as the notion circled repeatedly through his mind and he thought more deeply about it, Saine—already quick-witted and mentally far beyond his peers among powerful beings—soon calmed himself and carefully deduced its feasibility.
After several meticulous calculations, he was astonished to discover that this seemingly bold, even somewhat absurd idea was not empty fantasy at all. On the contrary, it held immense practical value and might even allow his Mechanical God Rule True Body to shatter its current shackles and ascend to an entirely new level.
This sudden delight made Saine increasingly excited. The calm, unruffled depths of his eyes gradually ignited with fervent light, that gleam growing brighter and brighter until it nearly became tangible flames, fully revealing the surging anticipation within him.
Bing Xin was still maintaining her humanoid female form as she stood quietly before Saine, her bearing dignified yet carrying the gentle vitality unique to the Water Mirror Civilization.
Naturally, she had no way of knowing what earthshaking thoughts were roiling within the heart of this Core Controller of the Mechanical Civilization before her.
Yet as she watched Saine's expression gradually shift from placid to animated and fervent—especially those deep eyes that remained fixed tightly upon her, carrying scrutiny, consideration, and an irresistible certainty—Bing Xin's originally tranquil state of mind could not help but ripple. An exceedingly heavy pressure slowly enveloped her whole body.
