"So that's it. Was it the hybrid architecture's characteristics that caused this extraordinary surge in computational capacity?"
"Generally speaking, mechanical creations are more efficient at computation, while sentient intelligence possesses advantages machines can scarcely match when it comes to transcending experience and logic."
"A hybrid architecture combines the strengths of both, creating something more perfect."
The changes in Heavenly Pivot prompted Li Chen to set everything else aside for the moment and focus on studying her.
To his surprise, her growth had far exceeded the anticipated leap from four-star to five-star. She had now reached the very peak of five-star grade and was even progressing toward the six-star level on her own.
This would bring some critically important abilities: the awakening of a will of her own and autonomous evolution!
"No... that's not right!"
Suddenly, Li Chen started violently.
"It isn't that simple!"
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had gradually grown more composed. Coupled with his frequent switching between incarnations and control of physical bodies, he rarely lost his composure like this anymore.
Yet at this moment, he still could not calm his emotions and was profoundly shocked.
He saw that the quantified total of computational resources was growing from its initial hundred thousand or so to over two hundred thousand. Then, instead of continuing to increase in increments of ten thousand, it doubled outright, leaping to four hundred thousand.
In another blink, it reached eight hundred thousand.
Then its growth slowed, but it still passed one million.
In the span of just a few breaths, the computational capacity Heavenly Pivot reported exceeded the accumulated total of the past dozen years by more than tenfold.
Only after the figure passed 1.2 million did it seem to trigger some limiting valve and come to a halt.
"This is
