Baturu: "I need teachers, lots and lots of teachers! These barbarians are so stupid! They can't even learn the most basic 'Outline of Mathematics' Heavenly Capital! Kill me!"
Leo: "No, none of us can move now, you can only rely on yourself."
Baturu: "To teach three trillion barbarians in a primitive world to establish a complete framework of cosmic knowledge, I couldn't do it all by myself, even if I worked myself to death."
"You have no idea how submissive those barbarians were to me before, but now they're so wary of me."
"They probably don't want me anymore, the one from the Book of Revelation who changes fate."
Black Soluo: "Go for it! We both believe in you. You can do it!"
Baturu: "Go ahead and try teaching a bunch of primitive people number theory. They're only fit to learn 1+1=2. I'd love to crack open their heads and shove the book inside."
Baturu: "They're all level three barbarians, their brains are further developed, how can they be so stupid?!"
Black Soluo: "You're asking for too much. Slow down. There's a saying, 'It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person.' Just extend your cultivation plan to two hundred years."
Baturu: "I've extended the expedition plan from the original one hundred years to three hundred years, but the progress is still more than 60% slower. At the current pace, they will need at least a thousand years of study to reach a qualified expedition level."
"It takes a thousand years to train tens of thousands of qualified warriors. How many years would it take me to train three trillion barbarians?"
Baturu's voice was filled with despair. He hadn't expected the Supreme Lord Plan to encounter difficulties in its very first step. He had thought he would quickly train the barbarians into capable individuals, but the opposite was true; their stupidity made Baturu want to kill them.
Black Soluo: "Then I can only wish you the best."
Leo's gaze was fixed on the constantly surging energy fluctuations in the sky, but his consciousness was focused on the ocean of his mind.
It has been almost a year since they last decided to fully support Baturu's ascension to the Supreme Lord.
Almost every now and then, Baturu would roar, either saying that the barbarians were stupid and couldn't learn the knowledge he taught them, or that he wanted to kill these stupid barbarians and replace them with a smarter batch.
Leo also went through Baturu's memories when he had nothing else to do. How should I put it...
He looked at it once, but never looked at it a second time.
That's so stupid.
Leo was so foolish that he wanted to rush straight into the Barbarian World and stuff those barbarians into the book.
Their brains are clearly well-developed and shouldn't be so clumsy, but miraculously, they are just that clumsy.
No matter how I teach them, they just can't get it; their progress is extremely slow, regardless of their level—it's all so slow it's almost hopeless.
Wizard Apprentice in the Wizard World can become masters of knowledge in the Barbarian World!
Of course, it's not without its advantages. At the very least, the training system that the Baturu created based on the physical structure of barbarians is something they learn very quickly.
In short, if you let them wield a knife to kill, they're all excellent; but if you let them hold a pen, their big eyes are filled with confusion and ignorance!
Faced with this situation, Leo could only say, "If you really can't teach them, then use metal souls to build an intelligent command system that can achieve the level of individual soldier command; that should be enough."
Leo abandoned the idea of trying to teach these barbarians; he figured he might as well use that time to approach them from other angles.
Baturu: "Hey, you two better hurry up, or you'll only see my furious corpse."
Black Soluo: "Then you just wait. My main body is still trapped in the Returning Breath World, and the research institute is in the Wizard World. Who knows when we'll be able to go back?"
Baturu: "How about we use the Gulu Beast instead? These barbarians can serve as the cheapest slave cannon fodder."
When Leo and Black Soluo heard Baturu say that he had given up on the barbarians, it was clear that he was extremely disappointed in them.
Black Soluo laughed wickedly, "Three trillion barbarians, all serving as the lowest level of slaves, even Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard wouldn't be wasted like this!"
"Why don't you give them to me and let me absorb their soul essence power? Three trillion can directly boost my level to level six."
Hearing Black Soluo's excessive words, Leo immediately interrupted him, "Don't talk nonsense. Barbarians have excellent potential, but we haven't found the right way to use them. Baturu, focus on improving their strength first. Even if they don't reach the level of wizards of the same rank, the difference shouldn't be too great. This is our foundation, and we can't waste it."
Baturu: "I'll listen to you. I'll use the Body Refinement Wizard training methods. I refuse to believe I can't train them to be as powerful as wizards."
Leo's gaze returned after the battle in the sky had concluded, revealing that the Stigmata Elemental Wizard had won and was now mocking the Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard from the sky.
But before the Stigmata Elemental Wizard could even chuckle, another Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard tore through space and appeared high in the sky, and a new round of battle began.
"Let's go back and go into seclusion."
Regardless of the conflict between the two major factions, Leo noted that they had been fighting for so many years without a single death, clearly indicating that they had suppressed their anger. This situation reassured the Stigmata Wizard outside the two major factions, as at least neither faction had shown any intention of a decisive battle so far.
As long as the two major schools of thought don't completely break ties, the Wizard World can maintain relative stability.
The Wizard Tower within the territory is a makeshift laboratory built by Leo. No one knows how long they will stay in the Returning Breath World, so this precious time cannot be wasted.
Leo pulled out a metallic soul and an intelligent command system from the Shadow Plane.
Hundreds of years ago, under Yaoyao's leadership, the Atomic Control Wizard Research Institute perfectly integrated artificial intelligence systems with metallized souls, creating the second-generation artificial intelligence system.
First-generation artificial intelligence requires guidance from relay satellites for signal transmission, cannot withstand high-level energy shocks, and is only effective in low-level battlefields. Once it is applied to battlefields of level three or higher, it is almost useless.
Moreover, once Level 3 life forms become dependent on artificial intelligence, they may make serious mistakes due to information interference issues.
Leo rewarded them handsomely and applied the first generation of artificial intelligence to the battlefield, which performed quite well and provided some assistance in first and second-level battlefields.
However, due to limitations, the first generation of artificial intelligence could only be used in limited, small-scale, low-intensity battlefields.
Later, the addition of metallized souls, replacing artificial intelligence terminals, significantly improved information transmission, information processing, and energy resistance, thus expanding the scope of applications.
The appearance of metallized souls can resist the energy tides caused by the level 3 battlefield, ensuring the stability of signal transmission.
It is precisely because of the addition of the metal soul that the biggest drawback of satellite relay has been eliminated.
The emergence of metallized souls elevates artificial intelligence from the first dimension of chip intelligence to a second, truly intelligent life dimension.
However, this brings another major problem: the metallized soul consumes a lot of energy depending on the speed at which it processes information.
For low-level life forms that have limited energy and have to consider the consumption of spells, having a metallized soul intelligent assistance system is like having an extra person consuming energy. Their already scarce energy becomes even more insufficient, and sometimes the artificial intelligence integrated with the metallized soul consumes more energy than the original body.
The direct result is that the artificial intelligence systems that should have been vigorously promoted have become a useless feature.
There isn't enough energy available, and those with enough energy don't need artificial intelligence systems.
The second generation of artificial intelligence only activates at critical moments, remaining in standby mode the rest of the time.
"To enable artificial intelligence to assist barbarians, we need to solve not only the energy supply problem, but also the problem of information storage."
Leo's initial idea was to store all the knowledge needed for the expedition in the metallized soul in advance, so that it could constantly remind the barbarians of changes on the battlefield and help them make the most correct judgments.
At the same time, it does not require the barbarians to provide too much energy, reducing the weakening of their own strength due to energy loss.
"Isn't this just a cheat system, an upgraded version of the system? Except for not being able to help barbarians fight, they can do everything."
Yaoyao saw Leo's idea, she gave Leo a thumbs-up, thinking that if Leo completed this experiment, the college's artificial intelligence research institute could just close down.
Leo looked at the blank soul before him. After being eroded by the rules of the Black Metal Module, it had become completely metallic, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, like a blank sheet of paper, or rather, a metallic blank sheet of paper.
With a light tap of his finger, Leo's entire soul began to crack open on his fingertip, and a thin, invisible thread of soul was pulled out.
One thing must be admitted: Leo's understanding and attainments in matters of the soul are also extraordinary.
By purchasing the knowledge system left behind by Black Skull in the Wizard World, and with Black Soluo also possessing Soul Cognition at the level of Lord of Souls in the Returning Breath World, if Leo wanted to change his wizarding system, his current foundation alone would be enough to make him a master of the soul side!
However, since he has never shown any spiritual abilities, his sudden display of them could easily lead to speculation and conjecture about him.
Especially when the Black Skull's whereabouts are unknown, if Leo dared to display his soul-related abilities, who knows how many people would speculate about him.
Yaoyao watched as Leo stretched a complete soul into soul threads exceeding ten million meters in length.
Then, under high-magnification sorcery, the soul threads were magnified, and runes were inscribed onto them by Leo.
If someone were to look into Leo's eyes at this moment, they would surely see countless 0s and 1s flowing across them like water.
"You actually want to reprogram the soul and change its nature, you..."
"You're a genius!"
After understanding Leo's actions, Yaoyao shouted excitedly.
