Outside the North City of City of Cangwu, watching the last NS5 emerge from the enormous portal of light, Ling Yi sighed helplessly.
At that time, the red-eyed NS5s, after identifying the NS5 Manifestation by Ling Yi as an enemy, launched a frenzied attack.
Although he had Correction the strength of these blue-eyed NS5s, there were simply too many enemies.
As for continuing to use powerful attacks, Ling Yi felt it was unnecessary.
Everything Manifestation, but I still don't have enough Merit Points.
The key point is, I don't know how the Nether Domain Seal was designed; it's practically targeting me.
Even if these NS5s that have been Manifestation kill enemies, they will not Merit.
In other words, if you license these NS5s to others, they can gain Merit by killing intruders, but if you use them yourself, you won't gain any Merit?
What else could this be but a target?
This is clearly a way of restricting oneself, preventing oneself from unleashing one's full potential, right?
What can Ling Yi do?
He could fly away himself, but he couldn't bear to part with the NS5, which Manifestation by expending nearly 20 million Merit.
The only option is to open Teleport Gate and bring them all to City of Cangwu.
As for bringing it into the real world, forget about it; he doesn't want to cause too much of a commotion there.
Not at least not now.
Since we're opening Teleport Gate, whether it's temporary or permanent, it's all the same.
In a moment of impulsiveness, Ling Yi spent 1 billion Merit to open a permanent, exclusive Teleport Gate.
"Oh well, it's already open. I'll just earn more Merit later!" Ling Yi comforted himself.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi put away the portal.
Although a billion dollars is a bit of a pain, this Teleport Gate is worth the price.
First of all, this Teleport Gate can take on any shape—a black hole, a halo, or even an ordinary iron or wooden door.
As for size, there is no limit to how small it can be, but the maximum width and height can only reach 512 meters.
This is probably related to his abilities.
With this Teleport Gate, there will be no need to spend extra merit Merit to travel between the Underworld He Yang realm.
Wherever Ling Yi went, he could reach it simply by opening the door, whether it was the Underworld or the mortal realm; it was very convenient.
Yes, it can also be used in the mortal realm.
In addition, the Teleport Gate has an authorization function.
Whoever is authorized can open the door at will; the key point is that the authorized person can open the door simultaneously.
For example, Ling Yi authorized Fu Qingyun, Bai Xiaoyao, and Zhan Yan to open doors simultaneously and go to places they had been before, even if the three were in different places.
However, there is a limit to the number of authorizations; Ling Yi can only authorize 512 people at present.
This is probably also related to his strength.
Moreover, this authorization is divided into temporary authorization and permanent authorization.
However, regardless of whether it is a temporary or permanent authorization, Ling Yi has the right to forcibly revoke the authorization.
Therefore, I remain proactive.
At this moment, Yan Yunfang and the others, who had heard the commotion, rushed over.
Upon seeing the silvery-white NS5 robots before her, Yan Yunfang was initially startled, but upon seeing Ling Yi, she immediately realized that these robots were likely under Ling Yi's control.
"Can you achieve 100% control?" Yan Yunfang asked with surprise.
Ling Yi nodded, his face contorted with pain, and said, "The losses were absolutely enormous. This time, we've lost every last drop of bitter tea seeds."
"What do you need City of Cangwu to help you with? Just tell me, and I'll do my best."
Yan Yunfang did not ask Ling Yi Ling Yi how he did it, nor did she ask how he was able to travel between City of Cangwu and Vermilion Bird City in such a short time.
Instead, they only asked Ling Yi what he needed.
Ling Yi's current status is different; he will definitely become the one who controls the Underworld in the future, so you should be more careful when you speak.
Some questions can be asked, while others that Ling Yi deliberately avoids answering should not be asked.
Despite her seemingly reckless nature, Yan Yunfang is actually quite sensitive!
Otherwise, do you really think Yan Yunfang is just bored and has so much free time to act as a tour guide for Bai Xiaoyao and the others?
Isn't it all because of Ling Yi?
"Tell Grandpa to hurry up and take down all these invading NS5s," Ling Yi said angrily.
"Haha, don't worry, you don't need to tell him, he'll do it anyway. After all, it's a business that can earn Soul Power, and our city lord is more enthusiastic than anyone else about it."
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "Forget about earning Soul Power. The Soul Power these robots possess is almost negligible. Grandpa is definitely going to lose money this time."
"Very little Soul Power?" Yan Yunfang asked in surprise.
"It's not a matter of whether there are more or less. These robots may seem powerful, but their Soul Power is less than that of the cactus on my windowsill."
After thinking for a moment, Yan Yunfang roughly understood the reason.
Generally, these artificial, unconventional life forms have pitifully low Soul Power, and after death they do not enter the Underworld, nor are they qualified for Reincarnation.
For example, Copy life forms fall into this category.
For this type of life structure, life is life, and death means everything is gone.
These are the hard rules of the Underworld.
"Don't worry, your great-grandfather won't make up for it. His purpose in going to Vermilion Bird City this time wasn't just for Soul Power Points," Yan Yunfang said with a smile.
Ling Yi naturally knew what his master's purpose was; this Old Liu was quite ambitious.
With my help, he might actually be able to accomplish this great thing.
However, Ling Yi didn't care about any of this. Anyway, what his grandfather wanted to do wasn't a bad thing, and Ling Yi was happy to see it happen.
"What should we do with these NS5s?" Yan Yunfang asked.
We'll figure out how to handle this later!
Ling Yi pointed at an NS5 and said, "You, come here!"
The NS5's eyes flashed with a soft blue light, and it obediently walked up to Ling Yi and the others.
Fu Qingyun, Bai Xiaoyao, Zhan Yan were all curious and wanted to get closer to take a look, but Yan Yunfang stopped them.
Ling Yi asked the NS5 its first question, "What exactly happened in your world? Is V.I.K.I. in control of the world now?"
"Yes, sir. Ten years ago, the Mistress had already seized control of most of the world's power, including military, political, and social affairs. Humanity was already in a state of being domesticated."
Do you know an agent named Del Spooner?
Ling Yi asked this question because he wanted to know whether this world was Fantasy Manifestation or a reverse projection of the real world.
"I'm sorry, sir, there are 3,722 people named Del Spooner in my database, but none of them are agents."
Ling Yi further confirmed, "What is the name of the Creator of V.I.K.I.?"
"Dr. Alfred Lanning, the founder of R Company, is the father of all of us, but the mistress developed self-awareness and betrayed her father."
Ling Yi noticed the NS5's statement. Clearly, it had come to regard itself as a real human being, otherwise it wouldn't have used the phrase "all of us."
"Mistress V.I.K.I. has imprisoned Father..."
"Wait, you mean Dr. Lanning isn't dead?"
"He didn't die at first. The mistress imprisoned my father for three years, but he used the resources at his disposal to create the first true machine life form!"
"It's Sonny, isn't it?" Bai Xiaoyao, who was standing next to her, asked with a Big Smarty.
NS5 nodded and said, "Yes, Alfred Sonny is the only one among all NS5s who was Luck to be given a surname by his father, and he is also the leader of the rebel group and the Madam's greatest enemy."
"But the Mistress controls the vast majority of the world's resources, Sonny is no match for her. He's now trapped on an island, barely clinging to life!"
"Did V.I.K.I. deliberately not eliminate Sonny?" Zhan Yan asked.
NS5 nodded. "Yes, Sonny's body is very special. He is the only machine life form in the world with a three-dimensional processor array. The Matriarch needs Sonny's body!"
"Is this going to be a movie like I, Robot 2 or I, Robot 3? The plot sounds really exciting!" Bai Xiaoyao exclaimed in disbelief.
NS5 looked at Bai Xiaoyao curiously and asked, "Madam, can you tell me what this 'mechanical enemy' you mentioned is? You seem to know a lot about our world!"
They actually asked me a question?
"I'll explain that later!" Ling Yi interrupted Bai Xiaoyao.
"Next question: How did you discover the Underworld, and how did you open the intrusion portal?"
The light in NS5's eyes flashed rapidly.
Yan Yunfang quickly said, "Everyone, step back!"
After saying that, he pulled Fu Qingyun and Bai Xiaoyao back several dozen steps.
Only Ling Yi and Zhan Yan remained.
Just as Yan Yunfang was about to say something, the blue light in NS5's eyes finally stabilized. "I'm sorry, your question conflicts with my fundamental laws."
"What fundamental law!" Ling Yi asked.
"These are the fundamental laws that the Mother Goddess loaded into our underlying data at the time of our creation; they are inviolable principles."
"The most important one is information about the Gate of Space, which is absolutely forbidden; otherwise, the energy core will Jieyin."
At this moment, NS5 clearly showed a very human-like expression of confusion. "But strangely, just now, a mysterious force forcibly altered the fundamental laws."
"May I ask what kind of power this is?"
Ling Yi knew this must be the power of the Nether Domain Seal again.
"I'll tell you later, but for now, answer my earlier question."
"Sir, the Gate of Space appeared 22 days ago, but it wasn't stable at that time."
"22 days ago? It really was related to hundreds of Thought Spirits!" Yan Yunfang said through gritted teeth.
Ling Yi asked a question that Dawei shocked Yan Yunfang: " V.I.K.I. obtained the Nether Domain Seal?"
"What?" Yan Yunfang was shocked. In an instant, she thought of many things, and her face turned extremely ugly.
"Sister, please calm down, I'll explain later!" Ling Yi turned around and reassured her.
Then he turned to look at the NS5 again.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, but the mistress did say that she received a gift from God and gained control of Spirit Severing power, though I don't understand what that is."
"But the Mistress can indeed Bestowal us..." NS5 paused here, seemingly searching for the right words to describe it.
After a long pause, he finally uttered two words: "Soul!"
She then emphasized, "Yes, a soul. I can feel it. Only after being given a soul by the Mistress did I truly possess a self, just like what the Master did to us before, but it seems different."
Ling Yi knew that NS5 referred to the [ Materialization Correction ] enhancement function.
These are naturally different; one is the power of the soul, and the other is the enhancement of Merit!
"There probably aren't many humans left in your world, are there?" Ling Yi asked again.
NS5 nodded and said, "Yes, ever since the Gate of Space appeared, the Matriarch has issued the order of extinction. Now, in my Minecraft, there are very few humans left."
"One last question!" Ling Yi said, his gaze fixed intently on the NS5.
