In September 2025, the Biology Department at the Green World ground base made a breakthrough in protein computers.
On Earth, protein computers were also known as biological computers. They used protein chips instead of silicon semiconductor chips.
Since Huang Si had experience personally making silicon chips and micro-integrated circuits, and biotechnology research was extremely convenient in the Green World, he accumulated a great deal of experience there. At last, protein-related technology made a breakthrough.
After several more rounds of testing, the protein computer was successfully developed.
Protein computers had far greater computing power than semiconductor computers, and were also smaller. Their semi-biological nature also made them easier to equip with artificial intelligence.
For now, the ground base still couldn't produce protein computers on its own, nor could it give them the self-repair capabilities a living organism should have.
That was because Huang Si had made every protein computer himself, using Creation Power to construct them at the molecular level after developing the relevant technology. If they wanted to grow protein computer chips themselves, as people on Earth had originally envisioned, the technology would be so difficult that it might take decades more to develop.
There was no denying that Creation Power was a godlike force. Anything Huang Si understood completely, he could create outright. Protein computers were extremely complex and consumed a lot of Creation Power, but with Huang Si's now absurdly high limit and recovery rate, they might as well have cost nothing.
If Huang Si hadn't been so unwilling to leave the house, and if the Ring weren't limited in diameter, preventing anything too large from passing through, he could have created any material resources the Green World needed and sent them over.
Still, there was no need. Besides, Huang Si thought it was better to let his subordinates handle things automatically instead of bothering him over every little matter.
In November 2025, a new prosthetic body based on the protein computer was successfully developed. However, since it was more prone to damage and harder to repair than the old mechanical prosthetic bodies, Huang Si made only one. He brought it home and gave it to Mo Xia.¤¸¸.•´¯`•¸¸.•..>> <<..•.¸¸¤
After getting his new prosthetic body, Mo Xia finally looked human. The old body had been a mechanical construct, so using it had always seemed somewhat unnatural. The new one had a biological core better suited to hosting artificial intelligence—including protein processors, protein storage units, and other components—and its skin and hair were no longer made of artificial materials. Instead, they were made from biological materials almost indistinguishable from those of a real person.
The new body no longer needed an external computer. Its powerful computing and storage capacity allowed any artificial intelligence to transfer all its data into it. That meant the new body no longer needed to be connected to a network to function. Even if every network connection was cut, the artificial intelligence could still live inside it.
With Huang Si's special permission, Mo Xia chose his own appearance: a somewhat slender frame, handsome features, and long black hair. He looked just like one of those pretty-boy idols from the early twenty-first century on Earth.
Huang Si used Creation Power to generate the new body's appearance. But when he transferred Mo Xia into it and saw him seeming to come alive, he was speechless.
Wasn't that look a little too gay?
What kind of taste was that? Huang Si didn't like that girlish face at all.
His artificial intelligence, his decision. Huang Si waved a hand, and a maid outfit appeared in it. Then, his face cold, he told Mo Xia, "Go change into this in the bathroom."
After changing into the maid outfit, Mo Xia looked even more painful to look at.
Huang Si was speechless. He walked over, covered Mo Xia's face with his hand, and prepared to use his mental power to destroy it and make a new one to suit his own tastes.
Mo Xia had already realized from Huang Si's expression that he had displeased Father God. Now, seeing Father God about to lay hands on him, he thought he was about to be destroyed and turned deathly pale with fright.
Huang Si was about to act when he saw Mo Xia's lifelike expression and ashen face. That was one of the biological prosthetic body's functions.♞👣 爪 ♔🐺 Yet the fear on his face was so real that Huang Si couldn't bring himself to do it. He held back his mental power.
Huang Si let go. Mo Xia immediately dropped to his knees, and Huang Si said coolly, "Get up. I wasn't going to kill you. Don't get scared like that over every little thing."
Huang Si had no idea why the artificial intelligences were so afraid of him. Before, he had only met them through the artificial intelligence system's built-in administrator account. They had no names, no form, and no appearance. Aside from being able to bring up the control panel, they had no special functions. Their basic settings only made them everyone's dad.
Yet every artificial intelligence both revered and feared him.
Mo Xia was the only one who had come to meet Huang Si in person. Huang Si had thought that seeing him as nothing more than an ordinary person, no different from the mortals in his records, would make Mo Xia less reverent. After all, his body was as weak as any ordinary shut-in's, and he could get sick and grow old. By no ordinary definition was he a god.
But, unexpectedly, Mo Xia continued to call him Father God, and his awe didn't diminish in the slightest.

Huang Si had no idea whether this was just Mo Xia's personal habit or something else.
After Mo Xia got up, Huang Si created a whole set of cosmetics, then tossed him some small accessories and photos of maids, telling him to go get himself ready.
Later, Mo Xia finally emerged dressed as a maid. Huang Si was quite satisfied with the result. The prosthetic body was male, and so was the artificial intelligence, but as long as someone was pretty, cross-dressing really did look good.
Am I a little perverted, or do I have a weird sense of humor? Huang Si wondered, then shook his head. How could I be? I only made Mo Xia a housemaid because he wasn't suited to being a teacher.
"Fine. Go cook." Huang Si used his mental power to kick Mo Xia into the kitchen.
The Biology Department's prosthetic body research was now proceeding in two directions. One focused on mechanical prosthetic bodies with greater strength, more functions, and more computing power; the other focused on biological prosthetic bodies made as close as possible to living organisms.
By December 2025, the three artificial intelligences working for the Biology Department—Dong Yao, Xi Yuan, and Li Huo—had switched to the latest mechanical prosthetic bodies.
The mechanical prosthetic bodies of the day were a far cry from their predecessors. They could move, grip things, write, and perform all kinds of complex tasks as nimbly as ordinary people. They even had exceptional physical capabilities. For example, an artificial intelligence could control its mechanical body to sprint at up to 200 km/h or leap more than ten meters into the air.
Their precision and dexterity were also far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve.
And now that their computing and storage capabilities had improved tremendously, the three of them no longer had to stay inside the mainframe all the time. They could enter their prosthetic bodies directly.
Controlling a body over a network and controlling it from within felt completely different. Most noticeably, there was no network lag at all, making it feel like a real body.
Under the careful guidance of the three artificial intelligence teachers, each generation of Ape-men grew more intelligent.
Ape-men were naturally social animals. After Dong Yao and the others made a request, Xiao Ke organized the more than five thousand Ape-men, now in their eighth generation, into groups so they could gather and see one another regularly.
Social activities also helped the Ape-men's minds develop.
At some point, the Ape-men had learned to bow to their three teachers. They knelt on the ground, chattering and squeaking, as if trying to express their gratitude.
The three teachers were powerful yet gentle. They often helped the Ape-men and taught them all sorts of things, earning a position of great respect among the Ape-men.
Dong Yao and the others even pleaded with Xiao Ke on the Ape-men's behalf, so that some Ape-men, especially the young ones, wouldn't be discarded even if they had no value.
With Huang Si's permission, Xiao Ke sometimes agreed to requests that weren't unreasonable.
After all, the base had plenty of resources, and with Huang Si supplying more from behind the scenes, they were practically inexhaustible.
January 2026.
Nearly three hundred years had passed in the Green World by then. With Xiao Ke's help, Huang Si made a major breakthrough in analyzing the Ape-men's genetic map.
Ape-men and people on Earth had similar genetic structures. Both had 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. Huang Si had now completed the sequencing of the Ape-men's genetic map.
Without Huang Si's ability to spread out his Mental Force Field and interpret the DNA double helix, this project would have been impossible. And without Xiao Ke taking on the immense computing and storage tasks, Huang Si could never have analyzed the entire genetic map by himself.
Next, they needed to locate the genes responsible for many crucial traits in the Ape-men, including appearance, body hair, intelligence, and language ability, then adjust or alter them based on Huang Si's own human genes.
This step required extensive biological experiments. Huang Si didn't have the time, and Xiao Ke couldn't conveniently carry them all out one by one. So in the end, Huang Si created eight more mechanical prosthetic bodies and brought the remaining eight artificial intelligences into the physical world of the Green World.
Huang Si instructed the eight bewildered artificial intelligences, "Get dressed, then go to work at the Biology Department."
Three hundred years had passed. It was time for these kids to grow up. Adults had to go to work.
Huang Si also casually made a prosthetic body for himself. It had an unremarkable face and an average build, mainly so he could teach the eight artificial intelligences how to work, guiding them hands-on.
Huang Si used this body only in the laboratory, controlling it with his mental power; it didn't even need an internal power supply. When he went outside to patrol over the network or returned to the Dark Space, he left the body in a cabinet.
Several of the artificial intelligences were startled by the "corpse" he'd left there. Huang Si later told them it was only an avatar, not his real body, and they finally relaxed.
