The foreheads of these Great Scholars and Grand Academicians glowed faintly, each bearing a peculiar miniature mechanism. It was this tiny device that connected their divine sense to the Divine Gold Mechanism boxes, allowing them to use the boxes to attain terrifying computational power surpassing even that of a Half-Sage.
