The AI from the Mechanical Scourge only made a brief appearance before disappearing, leaving Li Xingkong somewhat confused. He had originally thought he would have to test the strength of this so-called calamity.
The opponent's method of attack was indeed cool, but they didn't actually fight Li Xingkong.
As for Xuan Qingzi's remaining forces, Li Xingkong waited in the same spot for a few more days. After confirming that there were no other unknown signals, communications, or probes contacting them, he finally concluded that those remaining forces had probably been completely wiped out in this battle.
Li Xingkong didn't sit idle during the days he was waiting.
He calmly began to analyze the technology within the giant ship and its remains, which were later used by the Mechanical Scourge.
As a civilization with a vast territory, the Sihali Kingdom's communication methods are obviously different from those used in Divine Land. If traditional communication methods were still used, communication across light-years would cause the entire civilization to fall apart.
Moreover, judging from the intelligence agencies of the Sihali Kingdom, their communication methods are likely not limited to their territory; they are among the fastest in the entire known universe.
Li Xingkong was quite interested in this technology.
After all, this kind of communication technology is the foundation for the development of a super-large civilization.
Using the communicator he had used to contact Baili Qiu, along with the relevant information he found on the warship, Li Xingkong quickly deciphered the technology.
"Kuaizi Communications"
This is a communication method that uses so-called tachyons, which can ignore space, break the speed of light limit, and achieve truly zero-delay communication.
Just like playing a strategy game, if the enemy in the far reaches of the star system makes even the slightest move, the player who controls the overall situation can immediately detect it and randomly arrange all the warships under his command to make relevant deployments.
This communication capability eliminates distance as a limitation on the territory of civilization, thus truly realizing the so-called unlimited expansion of civilization.
Having deciphered the technique, Li Xingkong's random adaptive Divine Sense changed.
The fast particles that I had previously ignored and couldn't see are now appearing in Divine Sense consciousness in a direct form.
These particles were moving very fast; even with his Divine Sense spread out and focused at full power, Li Xingkong could only see a handful.
However, having these few is enough. Being able to see its true appearance gives Li Xingkong a way to continue his research.
The study of spiritual practice is similar to the study of practical science and technology in reality. First, there must be conditions for observation in order to conduct further research on its contents. If even observation is not possible, then there is no point in talking about conducting research.
The structure of this particle is quite strange; it's the first time Li Xingkong has ever seen one.
After studying the divination for several days and confirming that there were no more backup plans, Li Xingkong once again entrusted the power of action to the Hexagram, while he continued his research on the divination blocks.
The more Li Xingkong studied it, the more familiar it seemed.
When Li Xingkong sensed a server searching for his information in his mind once again, Li Xingkong.
His perception of this server, or rather, his perception of the Name-Calling Rebirth Technique, seemed to be based on this particle; he had simply been using it without understanding its underlying principles.
From this perspective, it seems that the transfer of souls also occurs in the form of particles similar to these.
In other words, it can carry a considerable amount of information and transmit it at extremely high speeds, regardless of space.
An idea suddenly popped into Li Xingkong's mind.
He felt as if he could devise a completely new way of moving, far exceeding the current speed.
Kuai Zi, the Name-Calling Rebirth Technique... Earth-Traversing Golden Light... all sorts of supernatural powers and methods seemed to share a common thread at this moment.
As Li Xingkong's thoughts became clearer...
If its own Earth-Traversing Golden Light can imitate and merge with Divine Light, could it transform its own existence into what is called a tachyon?
However, if one could transform into a tachyon and receive the information about the Name-Calling Rebirth Technique...
Then one can fully utilize this technology to achieve so-called information state transmission.
In other words, as long as someone within the server's coverage area calls his name, Li Xingkong can instantly descend in his true form by combining these spells the moment he senses it.
Alternatively, one can project a shadow of oneself, or create a clone, to help those who call upon them.
A real-life version of God-Invoking Technique, except that I am the one being summoned.
Moreover, following this line of thought, Li Xingkong felt it was even necessary to establish a new religion based on this.
All other doctrines of this religion can be freely chosen; you only need to replace the religious mantras with your own name.
Just like the morning prayers of Buddhism and Daoism, or the fasting of Christianity and Catholicism, a fixed time is set aside for believers to call out their own names.
The purpose of doing this was naturally not to become any kind of god, but to have them provide Li Xingkong with a teleportation beacon.
With such a group of living beacons, Li Xingkong could travel freely throughout the entire known universe.
One second they're having tea in the Sihali Kingdom, the next they're back in Divine Land cultivating.
The entire universe is within reach, and the range of one's teleportation ability depends entirely on where the servers are deployed.
Once this idea came to mind, Li Xingkong became quite excited.
Yes, if I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't need to be like this now, having to rush around just to go out, lacking any class or sophistication.
If this spell is mastered, one can travel freely throughout the vast universe.
Shall we go find Fang Ritu for a chat? We'll talk about it later.
How about visiting the territory of a more advanced civilization? We'll talk about that another day.
Go see how beautiful Succubus are in the two-dimensional world? Postponed.
Faced with this sudden flash of inspiration, everything else became irrelevant; what was so interesting about studying this kind of magic?
Li Xingkong abruptly ended his journey, found an uninhabited planet, and plunged into it.
Fearing disturbance, Li Xingkong drilled all the way to the vicinity of the planet's core, clearing away the surrounding environment before immersing himself fully in the research of this new supernatural power.
Li Xingkong didn't know if such a method existed within the system's pool.
He didn't ask.
Even if it exists, so what? Encouraged by this flash of inspiration, Li Xingkong was now eagerly anticipating the successful development of this spell.
Who says research can't be a way to relax? After those tedious and boring research processes are all handed over to Hexagram, so-called research becomes a process of realizing one's own dreams through hands-on experience.
No one can work against him; he's determined to master this spell.
As for what happened after his battle with the remnants of Xuan Qingzi, Li Xingkong had clearly forgotten about it completely.
