Eternal Divine Brain

Swallowed Star, Earth, Kyoto Base City:

Inside a villa, a handsome young man lay on a bed.

A sphere gleaming with golden light flew out of his body. After circling the room once, it finally merged into a laptop.

"Ah, that hurts!"

A fierce headache jolted Li Xin awake from his slumber, and a torrent of information flooded his mind.

It contained the original owner's memories as well as knowledge about computers, covering their principles, design, manufacture, and every other related aspect.

Once he mastered this knowledge, he could build a computer from scratch, including its chips, circuit boards, programming, and everything else.

He felt as though his brain had become a computer with formidable processing power. It took him only fifteen minutes to fully recover as his brain absorbed that immense volume of knowledge.

[Eternal Divine Brain, merged with a computer, acquired the "Calculation" talent]

[Apprentice First Order, advancement progress: 0%]

"I've transmigrated into the Swallowed Star World, become the recognized master of the Eternal Divine Brain, and gained a computer's talent for deduction and computation by merging it with one."

Li Xin lay in bed for a full half day before finally sorting out his current situation.

The Eternal Divine Brain, a powerful Mechanical Flow Treasure of unknown origin, had fused with his soul, granting him the ability to create avatars.

With the Eternal Divine Brain's enhancement, his computer's processing power had increased tenfold.

And, much like the Machine Race, the Eternal Divine Brain could continually advance through research and cultivation.

Once the Eternal Divine Brain advanced, it could split off a new Eternal Divine Brain, which could then merge with another item and give him a new avatar.

"Let's give it a try and see if I can successfully practice the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method!"

After gaining the computer's powerful Calculation ability, Li Xin immediately thought of the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method, which he had failed to master for over twenty days.

He had already become a Quasi-Martial Artist, yet he had been unable to succeed at this cultivation method.

Now, relying on his newly acquired ability, he began recalling, analyzing, and calculating the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method before trying to cultivate again.

Previously, practicing the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method had been like an elementary school student trying to solve high school math problems: difficult to understand, let alone get started.

Now, however, he was like a mathematics PhD solving elementary school problems. He understood them effortlessly and came up with every possible approach within a few breaths.

In just half a minute, he analyzed the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method countless times from beginning to end, then selected the approach best suited to him from the many results and began cultivating.

Another half minute passed, and he sensed the cosmic energy permeating the air.

As he continued cultivating, that cosmic energy began flowing into his body.

His entire body felt as though it were soaking in a hot spring. His skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, blood, and everything else soaked up the cosmic energy like sponges.

His genes were optimized, unnecessary genetic waste was expelled from his body, and every part of him constantly grew stronger.

He fully absorbed ninety-nine percent of the energy that entered his body. Only when he felt his body reach saturation and the cosmic energy stopped entering did he stop cultivating.

"This feels incredible. My physical strength has increased so much!"

Li Xin gripped a wooden chair and gave it a gentle wrench, snapping it apart.

"If I want the Eternal Divine Brain to advance, I'll need an independent laboratory for computer research, the most advanced technology in the country, and, most importantly, enough money to burn."

Once his excitement faded, he calmed down and began analyzing his future. Without question, advancing the Eternal Divine Brain was his highest priority. It was the foundation of everything he had.

"But all of that requires strength to safeguard it. I can build the Eternal Divine Furnace first to increase my strength. Once I'm strong enough, researching the Eternal Divine Brain's advancement will be much easier."

The Eternal Divine Furnace was the Eternal Divine Brain's core energy furnace. Not only could it supply the Eternal Divine Brain with energy, but he, as its master, could also absorb that energy to increase his strength.

Bang!!

1840 kg

He threw a punch with all his strength, and the Punch Strength Tester displayed its force.

"My strength has doubled. I'm already close to the 2,000-kilogram standard for an intermediate warrior!"

Li Xin was very satisfied with the increase in his strength.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

While Li Xin was considering his future, someone knocked on his door.

"Young master, it's time. You should leave for the martial artist assessment."

The voice of his butler, Hu Yanfeng, came from outside the room.

"Got it. I'll be right out."

Coming back to his senses, Li Xin immediately washed off the impurities his body had expelled during cultivation before heading out.

If the butler had not reminded him, he would have forgotten that today was the day he had signed up to take the martial artist assessment.

"Dad!"

Only after stepping outside did he notice a one-armed, middle-aged man standing beside the butler. This was his father, a martial artist at the Elementary Warlord Level.

Li Xin had been born into a small family with three War General Level martial artists.

His father was the eldest of his generation and the family patriarch.

But after losing an arm, he had been unable to improve his strength any further, leaving him no choice but to retire and return home to manage the family's affairs.

"You succeeded in cultivating?"

Li Houming looked at his son, whose body had become noticeably sturdier, and asked with delight.

"Yes, I finally succeeded last night."

Li Xin spoke with some embarrassment. After all, in everyone else's eyes, taking nearly thirty days to succeed meant his aptitude was extremely poor.

"Good, good, good! As long as you succeeded! This martial artist assessment shouldn't be too difficult for you, then!"

"Come on, I'll go with you!"

Li Houming patted Li Xin's shoulder in relief. Their Li Family had finally produced another martial artist.

Among the Li Family's older generation, neither he nor his second brother had any prospects left. They relied entirely on their third brother to make his way out in the world.

There were already three martial artists in the Li Family's second generation. With Li Xin, that made four. Their future looked promising!

Li Xin sat beside Li Houming in the back seat while the butler, Hu Yanfeng, drove. Before long, they arrived at the martial artist assessment site.

Up ahead, a large number of armed soldiers stood guard to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

"Xin, this is as far as I'll take you. Head inside on your own."

Li Houming spoke.

"Dad, don't worry. The martial artist assessment won't be a problem for me!"

Li Xin nodded, got out of the car, and headed inside.

After he presented his identification, the guards let him through. Following the directions, Li Xin arrived at the assembly point.

Many people were already there, numbering over a thousand.

"Li Xin, I didn't think you'd dare come to the martial artist assessment too. Don't wet yourself when you see the monsters!"

Li Xin had only just arrived when a young man around his age stepped out of the crowd, his gaze filled with undisguised hostility.
