This World Is a Bit Rock 'n' Roll
"The Monster Summoning Banner is Domestication Program, huh? So, the so-called demons are just Intelligent Machine Crisis? Hmm, using technology to analyze cultivation results in AI becoming sentient—that's so rock and roll!"
Feng Xue pinched his Jingming acupoint, feeling for a moment that this world was even more punk than the Cyber World. But before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, a flash of Spiritual Light struck him like a laser sniper rifle piercing Conan's brain—
"Good heavens, if the demons are the Intelligent Machine Crisis, the Monster Summoning Banner is the Domestication Code, Nuwa is the Intelligent AI temporarily Bionic Human training system, Nine-Tailed Fox is a Strong Artificial Intelligence that has become a spirit? So the Nine-Tailed Fox possessing Daji is actually an advanced AI taming a piece of machine code and sending it into the Daji Hao landship? Damn it!"
The moment Feng Xue grasped this line of thought, the previously shrouded plot suddenly became clear. However, there still seemed to be one problem—
"Do you have any information about 'Jun'?"
"Jun, codenamed Heavenly Venerate, Mysterious Ancestor, and Head of Ten Thousand Immortals, is an indigenous god of this world. He was once the guardian deity of the Xia Dynasty. After Haotian Hong descended to this world to spread science, a war of faith broke out between him and Jun. Both of them lost their vital signs five hundred years ago."
"More specifics?" Feng Xue frowned slightly upon hearing this information, which she had already learned from history books. Haotian Mirror responded:
"During the analysis of Jun's cultivation system, a large number of 'Corrupted Code Demonized Body' were generated, causing huge losses to the Heavenly Palace Space Station. Hong sealed the relevant projects, but retained the [Isolated Virtual Machine - Snail Palace] for research and development, attempting to explore a scheme to Bionic Human and demonized code into Biological CPU as a supplement to the Investiture of the Gods Plan. However, due to Hong's death, the project was halted midway, leaving only the interim result Monster Summoning Banner."
"Well, aside from the parts that were halted, is there any information about him?" Feng Xue was clearly not satisfied with Haotian Mirror's answer. After a brief pause, Haotian Mirror spoke again:
"No relevant content was found in the database, but there are several unverified reports whose credibility is questionable."
"Speak." Feng Xue didn't care about confirmation or not; what he lacked now was intelligence. After all, since Hong could leave behind a backup plan, Jun shouldn't be any less capable—of course, considering that Jun was likely a true native god, he might not have as systematic an information as Hong.
However, understanding the backup plans of these two Weird Tale is clearly crucial to his upcoming strategic plan. Having received the order, Haotian Mirror no longer hesitated and directly stated:
"According to data collected by the Weather Control Device in the Primordial West District (West Sea Dragon Gate), there are traces of unknown interference in the climate of the Primordial West District."
"Xiniu Hezhou? Western Teachings?"
Upon hearing the word "west," Feng Xue's hair stood on end; Haotian Mirror, recognizing the keyword, immediately began its search.
"Searching... Western Teachings... Search successful. The database contains only two entries about Western Teachings."
"First: This organization is extremely resistant to the scientific system, but it has a high level of expertise in sociology, philosophy, and other fields."
"Second: This organization possesses certain supernatural powers, but there are some differences between it and the 'Jun' mentioned in the records."
"Then there's no need to think about it. The Western Teachings must be Jun's backup plan." Feng Xue rolled his eyes. Although there was no evidence, as the Transmigration Method endorsed by the Infinite City, he was certain that there were absolutely no living Weird Tale in this world. Since the Western Teachings possessed supernatural powers and belonged to the metaphysical side, their power must have come from Weird Tale, or from Phantom Object derived from Weird Tale.
The problem is that Hong and Jun have already fought each other to the point of exhaustion. If another Weird Tale dies silently, whether it's being killed by the two of them first or in a three-way battle, it's impossible for it to go unnoticed, unless this person is unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire while watching the commotion from the sidelines.
As for the Phantom Object left behind by Jun...
If the Phantom Object left behind by Jun can create a Western Teachings system, then Jun himself must possess the power of the Western Teachings system, unless he has never used this Phantom Object in public.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Western Teachings and the Jun dynasty are related, and as long as something is even remotely connected Weird Tale the supernatural, it will inevitably become sustenance for revival.
"Tsk tsk, this makes the Investiture of the Gods plot quite interesting. Or rather, if the Western Teachings really has a connection with Jun, then considering the plot of that novel, it makes perfect sense that the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect have cultivation-related power."
Feng Xue silently considered whether she should intervene. After all, she had now gained supreme control over Hong's backup plan, the Heavenly Palace. If he wanted, he could even perform Deus Ex Machina. The question was, what benefits could she gain from it?
"Spreading Weird Tale in this world inevitably involves science and metaphysics, which could easily lead to confusion with Hong and Jun, ultimately causing them to revive within me. Weird Tale of this level certainly can't be burned away as easily as those weak martial gods... We must find a way that conforms to the thinking habits of people in this world to gain legal independence."
Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but recall the history of this world. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to the Haotian Mirror:
"Give me a list of the production units that are currently usable on the Heavenly Palace Space Station."
"Understood. Currently, there are a total of 27 production units for the Heavenly Palace Space Station. Factory A11 is responsible for raw material smelting and allocation; Factory A12 is responsible for parts production; Factory A13 Factory A14 responsible for parts inspection; Factory A14 is responsible for chip recording; Factory A21 is responsible for machine tool assembly; Factory A23 Factory A22 is responsible for engineering machinery assembly; Factory A23 is responsible for weapons assembly; Factory A24..."
"Stop!" Seeing Haotian Mirror listing the items while reciting the "tightening spell" like reciting a menu, he immediately stopped him and stared at the document browser on the screen.
Although the letter and number numbering system is a bit hard to remember, the actual pattern is quite simple: departments starting with A are for hardware production, departments starting with B are for software maintenance, departments starting with A1 are for basic parts production, departments starting with A2 are for equipment assembly, departments starting with A3 are responsible for resource collection, B1 generates code, B2 organizes code, B3 assembles code, and B4 troubleshoots.
In addition, there is a "C" prefix, but this is not a production-related one, but rather the Ministry of Transportation, which is responsible for data exchange and resource transmission with the subordinate units of Honghuang.
In addition, on the surface, there are some factories that are automatically built by AI programs. For example, the "Great Ant Mound Wasteland" complex in the East Sea Dragon Palace is actually a temporary arsenal used to assemble Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.
After learning this, Feng Xue immediately had an idea and said directly:
"Send me the Monster Summoning Banner program. Also, export a copy of all the existing surface weapon blueprints..."
P. S.: Roguelikes are so much fun... Should I add some roguelike elements to the protagonist's Golden Finger abilities in my new book too...? I feel like with my dice-rolling luck, the protagonist's growth shouldn't get out of control.
