"Adults are talking. Children shouldn't interrupt." Ling Zichen shot him a contemptuous glance.

"If you don't understand, don't make such a fuss."

"A peak quasi-god refers to a Soul Master who took another step forward within the quasi-god realm. If they achieve any one of the three—god-level physical strength, divine power energy, or God-Origin Realm spiritual power—they can be called a peak quasi-god, and their combat strength rises another level."

Yu Muchen's old face reddened at the rebuke. Ever since becoming a True God, when had anyone ever lectured him like this? Yet he could find no angle from which to refute her.

He could only ask:

"So."

"Even with the Single Positive-Cycle Source Core, the giant mecha still can't achieve true god-level combat power?"

At that question.

Di Tian and Ling Zichen answered in perfect sync.

"The Single Positive-Cycle Source Core can grant a giant mecha god-level combat power, but it must be one nurtured by the giant mecha itself."

"What belongs to someone else will always belong to someone else."

"It isn't compatible enough, nor is it perfect enough."

As those words rang out.

Ling Zichen looked at Di Tian in surprise. She had not expected him to possess such insight.

Still, Di Tian was a mecha pilot, so it was perfectly normal for him to have profound personal experience.

Ling Zichen did not think much of it.

In truth, the reason Di Tian could make such an accurate judgment in sync with Ling Zichen, a top scientist, was because of his breadth of knowledge.

He had truly seen a technologically advanced God Realm.

Though he did not understand its specific advanced technologies, he had still seen them.

"Then... how can a giant mecha nurture a Single Positive-Cycle Source Core?" Yu Muchen continued asking.

This time, no one answered him.

Naturally, Ling Zichen would not selflessly hand over her technology.

The technology behind the Single Positive-Cycle Source Core was not among the technologies that needed to be shared for the project.

The project had always only involved sharing Hive Cluster Combat Technology and Neural Bridge Synaesthesia Technology.

Though Di Tian knew the answer, he had many concerns.

It would be inconvenient to explain the source of the technology, for one.

Second, once a giant mecha nurtured a self-sustaining Single Positive-Cycle Source Core, could it possibly develop a true independent consciousness under the Core's feedback?

Could it become a genuine intelligent mechanical life-form?

Could it become uncontrollable?

The consequences of such possibilities required careful consideration.

For now, it was better not to say anything.

Thus.

Di Tian and Ling Zichen tacitly treated Yu Muchen like an idiot and strung him along.

"A giant mecha capable of unleashing quasi-god and peak quasi-god combat power is already enough for you to answer to the Federation."

After Ling Zichen spoke, Di Tian immediately added:

"You know the Soul Beast Clan."

"We've never had much talent for Soul Tool technology."

Finally, the two spoke in unison:

"Let's resolve the flaws in the neural synaesthesia technology as soon as possible."

Before Ling Zichen, whose scientific talent was maxed out, and Di Tian, whose knowledge was maxed out, Yu Muchen was like a raw recruit.

"Oh, okay." He nodded helplessly in confusion.

His sixth sense told him the two had played him, but unfortunately, he could find no evidence.

Inside the Universe Pioneer's cockpit.

Di Tian began conducting comparative experiments one after another.

First, he used the Twin Dragon Kings' self-body Martial Soul Fusion Skill to simulate the Neural Bridge Synaesthesia Technology based on the materials provided by the Federation.

Then, he added shared modules that the neural synaesthesia technology lacked, one at a time.

He added an emotional sharing module.

Failure.

He added a taste-sharing module.

Failure.

Then he added...

Only after he added a "memory-sharing module" did the connection duration of the Neural Bridge Synaesthesia Technology noticeably extend.

Afterward, he deleted the newly added shared modules one by one.

At last, he confirmed the source of the Neural Bridge Synaesthesia Technology's flaw—the sharing of the pilots' memories.

Outside the giant mecha's cockpit.

The experiment base's researchers had already recorded the findings.

"Report."

"General Yu Muchen."

"It has been recorded."

"The flaw in the Neural Bridge Synaesthesia Technology lies in the absence of a memory-sharing module."

"This—" The moment the answer emerged, Yu Muchen grimaced in distress.

"Memory sharing is no ordinary difficulty."

Seeing the Federation researchers frowning one after another, utterly without a solution, Yu Muchen knew he had to call in reinforcements again.

The key to memories lay in the brain.

And all of the Federation's scientific achievements in brain-domain research came from a single person.

The Dou Tian Department's minister, Purgatory True God.

At that moment.

Di Tian stepped down from the Universe Pioneer and passed by Yu Muchen.

"I have a suggestion."

"I don't know whether it'll help."

"Please, go ahead." Yu Muchen, who had been about to contact Qiangu Qingfeng, immediately stopped what he was doing upon hearing Di Tian's voice and listened attentively.

"Don't expect too much."

"It's only a suggestion and a direction."

"The ancient Soul Tool from twenty thousand years ago, the God-Sealing Platform, had memory sealing as one of its functions."

"You could try researching it."

"Maybe it'll give you some inspiration."

"I'll be going."

"I'll come by once every day and share the experiment's progress with both sides, so no one can hide anything."

"That way, everyone can rest easy."

With that, he headed out of the laboratory.

Experiments could not be completed overnight, but he had faith in Ling Zichen.

The unprecedented scientific genius of Douluo Continent.

She would certainly develop the perfect Hive Cluster Combat Technology and Neural Bridge Synaesthesia Technology he needed before he underwent his godhood tribulation.

The mechanical calamity he led would definitely prove greatly useful during that godhood tribulation.

Ling Zichen also fully lived up to Di Tian's expectations.

She simply settled into the laboratory and said only one sentence:

"Wuzhu."

"See Di Tian off for me."

Chen Wuzhu's expression froze.

She turned to look at Ye Moyong beside her, but he merely spread his hands, as if to say: he had no choice either.

"Mm~"

Chen Wuzhu pursed her vivid red lips.

"Understood, Teacher."

A teacher's command could not be disobeyed. Besides, she was a Shrek person loyal to Shrek Academy.

No matter how unwilling she was to be forcibly paired with Di Tian, she still personally went to see him off.

Watching Chen Wuzhu leave alongside Di Tian, Yu Muchen was so furious that he stomped his feet and beat his chest.

Sure enough.

When it came to keeping Soul Beasts as dogs, Shrek had experience.

Why had he not thought to summon Yuanen Guangjun and Qiangu Yourou?

Along the way.

The Red Lotus Witch, Chen Wuzhu, said bluntly:

"Di Tian."

"Fight me. A battle at the same rank."

"I want to prove to Teacher that I'm no worse than you."

"At the True God Realm, I can do it!"

"I can also be invincible among True Gods!"

"My Shrek doesn't need you!"

Di Tian gave her a rare glance.

To be fair, Chen Wuzhu was the first person to openly display her dislike for him.

At last, he had encountered a normal human girl!

Moreover, seeing the great possibility of achieving a "mechanical calamity" in the future had put Di Tian in a good mood today.

So he said:

"What do I get out of it?"

"Win or lose, I'll do everything I can to stop all those fluttering girls from the Federation's various factions and families who keep sticking themselves to you. I guarantee they won't disturb your cultivation."

"Deal."

Seeing Di Tian agree so readily, Chen Wuzhu was equally straightforward. "Here will do."

"Don't worry."

"You'll lose quickly."

"Buddha's Fury Red Lotus!"

This was Chen Wuzhu's ninth Soul Skill, evolved from her comprehension of the Tang Sect's top hidden weapon, Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus. She considered it a Self-Created Soul Skill.

Therefore.

Even in a battle at the same rank, she believed using her self-created ninth Soul Skill did not count as breaking the rules.

At the same time.

She believed Di Tian would use the Twin Dragon Kings, his self-body Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and attack with his full strength.

But Di Tian did not grant her wish.

He merely condensed a spiritual weapon with spiritual power: two spindle-shaped short spears resembling the Heaven Burning Divine Pestle.

They were not even divine artifacts, merely spiritual weapons.

Seeing Di Tian underestimate her so greatly, Chen Wuzhu immediately snapped:

"Arrogant!"

However.

When the Buddha's Fury Red Lotus she was so proud of struck toward Di Tian, it did not unleash its explosively powerful detonation.

Instead, as though it had been hit by a cosmic shift, it began changing positions between heaven and earth.

Chen Wuzhu's face changed drastically in disbelief.

Di Tian, meanwhile, remained as calm as ever.

Ultimate fire.

It was not bad.

If an Ultimate Douluo unleashed it, it would vaguely possess thirty percent of god-level attack power.

Unfortunately.

She was currently unleashing it with the cultivation of a single ring.

And what she faced was the operational logic of a top divine artifact exclusive to the Fire God.

Rumble—

After Di Tian's spiritual weapon worked it over, he not only seized control of the Buddha's Fury Red Lotus, but also added a little something extra.

Every lotus seed within the Buddha's Fury Red Lotus transformed into a fire dragon, causing its overall destructive power to surge.

It turned and attacked Chen Wuzhu instead.

She was, after all, a genius. Sensing danger, Chen Wuzhu immediately flashed aside to evade it.

But following the enhanced Buddha's Fury Red Lotus was the spiritual weapon as well.

Its control was also far stronger than Chen Wuzhu's.

Boom—

A small mushroom cloud of flames rose into the air, directly shattering Chen Wuzhu's one-ring Soul Power protective barrier.

"Enough."

Di Tian reined in his aura and power, then walked over to Chen Wuzhu's side.

"Don't forget what you said."

There was no response.

Chen Wuzhu was still drowning in frustration.

She had lost!

She had actually lost!

And she had lost in the field of fire, the one thing she was most proud of!

In the past, she had always believed that among those of the same rank, only Ye Moyong, who was as famous as she was, could defeat her.

And in the future, only Ye Moyong would be qualified to stand by her side.

But now...

"Thump, thump, thump..." Her heart was racing.

The next moment.

Di Tian saw Chen Wuzhu slowly raise her head, and his expression instantly changed.

Fuck!

The aloof witch had turned all gooey!!!

We're not sisters!

You hated me just a second ago!

Give me back that normal human girl!!
