As the saying goes, flesh and blood are weak and vulnerable, Mechanical Ascension.
After the full release of his [Soul Informatization] talent potential, it can be said that Logo's own life form has been completely changed.
In fact, this change is even more dramatic and thorough than the transformation of High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform into Legendary.
"If I, in the form of an intelligent life form, separate a portion of my computing power to create a sub-body, and then use my [Soul Informatization] talent to transform this sub-body into a soul state, wouldn't I be able to obtain a perfect soul clone?"
Logo's gaze was intense, his pupils flashing with an inexplicable fanaticism.
Without hesitation, Logo, as an alchemist, never procrastinated. Besides, he had made the above conjecture long ago; it was just that now he could finally put it into practice.
Activate the emergency rescue system of the Energy-Gathering Obelisk and set the relevant procedures. In the event that he falls into a coma or other emergency, the medical resources stored in the tower will be used to provide rescue, and Crassus and Caesar outside will be notified to enter the Nirvana Tower immediately.
With all safety measures in place, Logo began his first experiment after being promoted to Legendary.
The test subject: myself!
"Soul transformation..."
Upon activating his [Soul Informatization] talent, Logo's soul underwent a dramatic transformation, like a sponge being frantically kneaded, shifting through various shapes before finally collapsing and disintegrating into an invisible stream of information.
"Logical thinking ability has greatly improved, but the ability to perceive laws, elements, and the environment has disappeared, which is normal. Intelligent life forms are not compatible with any Transcendent professions, however..."
"Is this Fantasy Dimension? It seems like I could easily leap into it. And these, all sorts of colorful clusters like nebulae, are they network clusters? The different brightness levels represent the intensity of information flow, so these must be central information base stations, and these are ordinary relay stations. And these extremely dim ones, are they probably personal terminals?"
Logo, now in intelligent life form, sees a completely different world. In his eyes, everything is composed of various information factors, and his way of perceiving the world has changed from through various physical senses to direct interaction at the information level.
To some extent, this is the most direct, simple, and effective way to obtain information, and some technological civilizations even stubbornly believe that this is a basic quality that the highest level of life should possess.
After immersing himself in this new world for a long time and having his curiosity greatly satisfied, Logo finally remembered his experimental plan.
"After becoming an intelligent life form, differentiating offspring is simply instinctive, not difficult at all..."
Muttering to himself, Logo subtly moved his mind, separating some information factors from the main body and quickly constructing the underlying logic. This would normally require extremely high knowledge of information engineering, but now it all became instinct, as simple as eating and drinking for humans.
Soon, a smaller version of ' Logo ' appeared, still in its intelligent life form state.
Logo immediately sensed the difference between this secondary clone and Lancelot and Gustavo.
About ten minutes later, he figured it all out.
The differentiated intelligent sub-entities have a clear causal Fate link with the original body. Simply put, they are essentially still one person, and their relationship is like that of the brain and limbs, belonging to different parts of the same body.
Gustavo and Lancelot's relationship with Logo is that of completely independent individuals, with their cause Fate completely severed, unless they are reconnected by certain events, such as Logo and Gustavo's collaboration to exploit Planet Guta.
And Logo and Lancelot exchanged resources.
These all re-established the causal connection between them, but this was formed after birth, and is completely different from the causal connection of innate Fate.
The simplest example.
The diviner can pinpoint Logo's true form through Logo's intelligent sub-body, but cannot do so through Lancelot or Gustavo.
Furthermore, Logo has absolute control over the offspring that have differentiated, and can arbitrarily change their underlying logic, holding their life and death in his hands.
Faced with Logo, the intelligent sub-entity had no ability to resist. Of course, normally, the intelligent sub-entity would not resist Logo, because essentially, they were the same entity.
This is the characteristic of intelligent life.
But the strange thing is that Logo has the talent of [Soul Informatization]. He not only has the innate instincts of intelligent life, but also the characteristics of flesh and blood life.
With a single thought, his innate talent was unleashed, causing the differentiated intelligent sub-entities to undergo dramatic changes in form.
It transformed from an intelligent life form back into a soul.
Logo's physical form remained unchanged, still maintaining its state of intelligent life.
"Control is no problem; there are no barriers whatsoever. Through this soul clone as the connection point, my original body's laws and elemental perception abilities have returned. Moreover, the instinctive talents of intelligent life have not been affected in the slightest. In other words, I can simultaneously maintain these two diametrically opposed talents!!"
Realizing this, even with Logo's usually calm personality, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, after all, the significance of this was far too great.
After a long while, Logo finally calmed down again and began to think about his future plans.
"In this way, my envisioned plan can be fully implemented. The main body will remain in its informational life form, while several sub-bodies will differentiate, allowing the latter to revert to their soul form, reshape their physical bodies, and be responsible for research in different fields..."
"Mechanical clones, bloodline clones, potion clones, rune clones, and so on."
"These clones are not connected in consciousness and are completely unaffected by each other, thus greatly avoiding interference between different pieces of knowledge."
"Moreover, the separated child souls are exceptionally pure, perfectly suited for nurturing like newborns. In other words, each child soul has actually escaped the influence of the alchemist profession and would have no problem taking on other Transcendent professions!"
"As for the research in alchemy, which requires the Fire of Birth... that's easy to handle. The energy core of the Nirvana Tower hasn't been determined yet, so why not use the Fire of Birth as the energy core? Using it as the Origin Point, we can set up an energy-gathering Rune Array, which will be enough to leverage tens of millions of times more energy, and we won't have to worry about insufficient energy supply!"
"However, in this way, it seems my physical body also needs to be merged with the Nirvana Tower. Only in this way can the Fire of Birth and the Nirvana Tower truly achieve perfect compatibility..."
"Forget it, I was already prepared. The soul is the core of oneself, and the body can be created according to one's own will. Besides, after merging with the Nirvana Tower, the body didn't disappear; it just changed into another shape..."
"Besides, in terms of Sturdiness and versatility, the Nirvana Tower would easily obliterate my weak and useless flesh and blood body! Yes, that's right, a mere physical body is better off without!"
"Uh, we've gotten a bit off-topic. How did we get onto the physical body? Now we should be thinking about how to let the child soul borrow the Fire of Birth."
"As the exclusive energy of alchemists, the Fire of Birth completely surpasses the vast majority of energies in the Astral Realm when it comes to creating all things; we must not abandon it!"
"The good news is that, as a sub-body of the soul, there are no problems with perfect compatibility with the Fire of Birth. The important thing to note is that you must not merge with the Fire of Birth. Once this energy is integrated into the soul and body, it will be impossible to remove it!"
"Therefore, the clone can only borrow the Fire of Birth, not absorb and fuse with it. Hmm, that's safe enough."
"Next, we need to think about which Transcendent professions would be best for the different clones."
"Mechanical clones are a given, the ' Mechanics ' class is locked in! As for bloodline clones, the 'Bloodline Warlock' class seems good, 'Gene Warrior' is also alright, or maybe I can go back to my old profession... The Royal Court's ' Slaughter Knight ' class has unfathomable potential, and it's very likely that it possesses some extremely Rare superior class. The downside is that this superior class only exists in my speculation; it's still uncertain which class in the Astral Realm it is, and there's no record of it in the Aslant Civilization. After all, without close observation, it's indeed difficult to discern from written descriptions alone!"
"And then there's the potion clone, which requires a plant-related Transcendent profession... ' Rui, ' 'Son of the Sun,' 'Lady of the Moon,' uh, the last one won't work, but it doesn't seem impossible, gender is such a thing..."
"Ahem, my apologies, I almost forgot I'm a married man, and even a clone can't change gender," Ms. Moon... crossed out!!
He silently apologized to Qiya in his heart, and Logo continued to think.
"Once the clone is finished, the main body cannot be forgotten. Since the physical body is to be merged with the Nirvana Tower, the soul of the main body should continue to maintain its intelligent life form and be integrated into the Nirvana Tower as well, serving as the main intelligence. In this way, the Nirvana Tower will be virtually flawless in terms of its intelligent system."
"In terms of division of labor, the main body is responsible for organizing the database, allocating computing power, and arranging experimental plans. The clones focus on research in various branches of alchemy, as well as improving their own combat capabilities, while also acting as guardian deities..."
As Logo entered a state of deep thought, a massive amount of information flashed through his body every second. If this were displayed on a screen, it would be an information screen that swept across the screen like a waterfall!
The originally vague plan quickly became more detailed, its feasibility soared, and only when it reached a point of perfection did Logo stop thinking about it.
"Phew, that feels so good... In this intelligent life form, the logic of thought is incredibly clear, but it's prone to being overly rational. Fortunately, the black sea formed by the ' Thoughts of Living Beings ' of the Royal Court's subjects is enough to support this ever-growing emotional ship. However, as I absorb more and more information, the influence of the intelligent life form's inherent emotional detachment, coupled with the side effects of the Eye of Insight..."
"We're doomed!"
Logo's heart skipped a beat.
I suddenly realized that I seemed to be too optimistic.
Royal Court has a large population, that's true, but everything has its limits.
If the entity remains in an intelligent life form, the required "Thoughts of Living Beings" will expand rapidly every moment.
With this in mind, Logo immediately began calculating the growth curve of "Thoughts of Living Beings" corresponding to the Royal Court's current development speed and his own increasing prestige.
"After one year and ten months, the ' Thoughts of Living Beings ' will begin to dwindle; after three years, it will be unable to support the great ship of emotions unless new oceans are explored!"
"There's enough time. If my estimation is correct, the Ashes should be making a big move. Planet Oklo is one of the flashpoints for chaos. It's easy to fish in troubled waters. The chaotic situation will inevitably give rise to new forces. Since the ' Thoughts of Living Beings ' provided by the Royal Court is somewhat insufficient, let's try other major forces..."
Nothing in this world is difficult; for capable people, all they need to do is consider solutions.
Clearly, Logo is a capable person!
The problem that just arose was immediately addressed with a comprehensive contingency plan.
Even if this plan goes wrong in the future, he can quickly change his approach. In short, a living person won't die from holding in their pee.
Logo retrieved his soul sub-body and stepped out of the Energy-Gathering Obelisk.
Upon reaching the top floor of the Nirvana Tower, on a shelf on the southeast side of the laboratory, were displayed living eyeballs, each with a unique aura.
Some of them are semi-mechanical, semi-flesh-and-blood in shape, with electric sparks occasionally popping out from their surfaces.
Some are sacred and majestic, with vertical pupils like those of True Dragon, and fine golden dragon scales distributed throughout.
Others possessed a dark and gloomy aura, their gazes as sharp as daggers. Being stared at by them felt as if one might be dragged into a dark corner and have their head severed at any moment.
The dozen or so living eyes were carefully cultivated by Logo using the flesh and soul of important figures such as Crassus, Caesar, the old count, and Qiya.
The purpose is simple: to carry the offspring differentiated from the Eye of Insight.
After the Legendary Logo, his life rank leaped dramatically, his soul underwent a transformation, and his Eye of Insight also revived significantly, granting him the ability to differentiate into offspring.
The specific operation is very simple: use the core essence of the Miracle Creation, the Eye of Insight, to corrupt the eyes of these living beings.
Simply put, it means imbuing the latter with the primal aura of the Eye of Insight.
The principle is similar to the "life magnetic field assimilation effect".
It is well known that the more powerful Transcendent being is, the stronger its life magnetic field is.
Other life forms within the magnetic field of a powerful Transcendent life form will have their life structure affected if there is a significant difference in strength.
The True Dragon Clan is a prime example in this regard.
Take the Red Dragon as an example.
The habitat of an adult Red Dragon will gradually be affected by its life magnetic field, "Burning Ash Domain," and turn into an active volcano.
The animals in the vicinity will also acquire various dragon-like characteristics, transforming into all sorts of sub-dragons.
Some elite individuals can even awaken a portion of the dragon's legacy.
Essentially, this is similar to the instinct of ordinary life forms to reproduce through mating, both aiming to expand their influence in the world.
Existence is the prerequisite for all activity!
On his forehead, the Eye of Insight slowly opened.
The stars inside became denser and brighter, as if a boundless universe were hidden within.
Logo a thought, strands of silvery starlight flew out from the Eye of Insight and disappeared into the living eyes on the shelf.
Visibly, the pupils of the Eye of Insight had dimmed considerably, and many stars had even suddenly collapsed and vanished without a trace.
Clearly, creating sub-bodies is already a considerable burden for the Eye of Insight, let alone creating more than a dozen sub-bodies at the same time.
One rises as the other falls.
As the Eye of Insight weakened, the dozen or so living eyes underwent a dramatic transformation, like fish leaping over the dragon gate.
It's not just its external form, but most importantly, its aura—profound, mysterious, and irresistibly inviting exploration; it's clearly a priceless treasure.
"This won't do. It's not discreet at all. We need to add a layer of shielding Rune Array. I also need to tell Crassus and the others to be careful and cautious, lest they be coveted by others, especially Caesar. They need to be given a good talking-to!" Logo thought to himself. Steadiness was always his principle of action.
Setting up Rune Array is a piece of cake for Logo now.
Soon, he completed the inscription of a four-star Rune Array called the "Ring of Oblivion." This Rune Array could make anyone who saw the child's pupils quickly forget the relevant memories and autonomously modify those memories in their mind, making it extremely useful.
The dozen or so child pupils are all Legend- quality Ring of Oblivion; as long as you're careful, you don't have to worry about being noticed as odd.
"As expected, it's a child entity, directly affected by the Eye of Insight. It seems that products on the Astral Realm, such as Evolution Totem and Elemental Furnace, are also being manipulated."
"But that seems reasonable. After all, which product doesn't have some hidden features these days? Even I... cough cough, times are tough, so it's understandable to be on the safe side!"
With a wave of his hand, Logo retracted all the pupils of the child entities.
Then he went to the reception room and notified Crassus and the others to come and assemble.
The first to push open the door was Caesar. After all, he was Logo's bodyguard. Despite his nonchalant appearance, he cared more about Logo's safety than anyone else.
"Hehe, congratulations on your promotion to Legendary! From now on, the sky's the limit, and the sea is wide enough for birds to fly and fish to leap..."
Caesar's talkative nature was impossible to suppress; he came in with a barrage of praise, until he was met with a cold glance from Logo.
"Sit down!"
"Okay!"
Caesar, decisive and following his heart, obediently sat down.
Crassus was the second to enter, arriving only a short time after Caesar. Upon seeing Caesar sitting upright, he knew that Caesar had been scolded by his boss again, so he smiled gloatingly and sat down next to Caesar.
As time went by.
The Dark Twin Stars, siblings Tiffany and Sherlock.
Berserker Melier.
Old Butler Lunbate.
Variant White Ape Gain.
Mad Ape Geno Stan.
Frostlight - Annabelle.
Old Earl of Red Maple.
His wife, Qiya Dragon, was the last to arrive. She was not previously in the demiplane, but rather in White Wolf Castle, where she served as the leader of the White Wolf Clan and was not as free as the others.
Especially after the White Wolf Clan became Logo's support, Qiya had more things to do and kept busy, trying to share some of the pressure with her lover. Even the White Wolf Steward couldn't help but feel gratified, thinking that his young lady had grown up and wasn't just burying herself in cultivation anymore.
Little did they know, this might be the true nature of Qiya Dragon, vibrant and bright.
The girl who was previously consumed by hatred simply lived by obeying others' wishes, numb and rigid.
As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they have good news. Different attitudes towards life naturally correspond to different mental states.
Once everyone had arrived, Logo took out the child's pupil and placed it on the table.
"Take it yourself. You won't mistake your own scent, will you?"
"This is... the treasure that the boss mentioned before, the one that aids in cultivation?" Crassus's eyes lit up as he extended his mechanical claw and picked up the semi-mechanical, semi-biological eye.
Others followed suit, taking away their own pupils.
"How do you use this thing?" Caesar fiddled with the golden pupil in his hand, scratching his head and looking completely confused.
As Logo helped Qiya cut her index finger, he casually replied, "Blood bondage; it will automatically integrate into your flesh and blood and connect with your soul. The method of use will automatically appear."
After saying this, Qiya's blood fell onto the pupil of the offspring she had been given.
This is an exquisitely shaped pupil with distinct spatial characteristics.
Members of the White Wolf Clan have a small chance of awakening spatial talents, and Qiya is clearly one of the lucky ones. Otherwise, even with rigorous training, if she were mediocre, she wouldn't have been able to climb the Epic ladder in such a short time.
Blood dripped down, her pupils glowed, and then transformed into a beam of silver light that entered Qiya's brow.
The next moment, the Eye of Gendaya the girl's brows underwent a tremendous change, becoming brighter and clearer, like a vast blue sky. But upon closer inspection, it seemed like a hazy and mysterious dimensional rift, shimmering with a divine light that was both real and illusory.
"How is it? How do you feel?" Crassus asked curiously, and everyone else looked over as well.
Qiya's eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, revealing a look of astonishment on her beautiful face.
"My perception of the Law of Space has become much clearer..."
"What? Improve your understanding of the laws? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" The little girl-like Annabelle suddenly stood up, her voice filled with excitement.
Qiya nodded. "Not only that, but it seems that other talents have also improved... Well, to be more precise, this eye has enhanced any talent related to intelligence, and the improvement is terrifying!!"
At this point, Qiya tilted her head and gazed at Logo, her large, bright eyes filled with pure admiration, like a soft, adorable kitten staring with round, bright eyes. This expression undoubtedly greatly satisfied Logo's vanity.
At the same time, Qiya's words made everyone else unable to hold back any longer, and they all dripped blood to acknowledge their master's body.
Then came a chorus of exclamations.
After a long silence, Logo finally said quietly, "What I gave you must not be known to anyone except those present. You should understand the power of this treasure; if it gets out, we'll be in danger."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
They weren't stupid, and Logo wouldn't keep stupid people around him. They knew what they should and shouldn't do, and they all knew their limits.
"Oh, by the way, something big is likely to happen with the Crimson Alliance. All of you, be prepared and follow my orders."
"Understood!" everyone answered in unison.
"Alright, go ahead and get busy."
Three days later.
After seeing Qiya off, Logo put on a specially made mask to Concealment his presence. Behind him were three bodyguards sent by the Royal Court, all of whom were at the Epic level. One of them was Night Watchers had survived the battle a hundred years ago and was extremely powerful.
Accompanied by bodyguards, Logo stealthily entered the Crimson Alliance.
Thanks to Lancelot's prior arrangements, he managed to avoid alerting anyone during the entire process.
An underground tavern in the black market.
Logo went into the private room to wait, and after a short while, two mysterious figures wearing cloaks walked in.
After lifting the cloak, two faces, each with its own unique charm, were revealed, both equally stunning.
It was Zyra and Mona.
