Communing with the Will of Heaven and Earth, Concerns over the Birth of Sentience
Liu Yi glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and then his figure flickered and he arrived in front of a majestic mountain peak.
He flicked his finger, and a beam of divine light pierced straight into the mountain. In the blink of an eye, an ancient stone house emerged from the ground.
He then quickly formed hand seals, setting up Five Elements Defense Formation, and a light shield of flowing Five Elements enveloped the stone house.
Having done all this, he stepped into the stone house and sat cross-legged on the stone bed.
With a thought, he took the Great Dao Jade Disc from his inner world and floated it above his head.
His purpose this time was to use the power of the Great Dao Jade Disc to try to communicate with the will of heaven and earth of the Blood Devil Secret Realm, thereby gaining recognition and control of the secret realm.
Although there is no absolute certainty, this Great Dao Jade Disc is a top-tier treasure for enlightenment, containing three thousand Great Daos at the level of Small Chiliocosm, so there may still be a sliver of hope.
The Great Dao Jade Disc suddenly emitted profound Daoist charm, with countless mysterious Great Dao Runes flowing around it.
The Three Thousand Great Daos and countless Great Dao Principle slowly evolved on the jade disc, radiating dazzling Great Dao brilliance.
His mind merged with the Great Dao Jade Disc, attempting to communicate with the will of heaven and earth of the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
No matter how many times he tried, he could not reach the will of heaven and earth. Just as he was about to give up, an invisible wave suddenly swept across the world.
The next moment, the Great Dao Jade Disc suddenly trembled and established a connection with a vast will.
The moment his mind touched that will, Liu Yi's vision expanded dramatically, taking in the entire Blood Devil Secret Realm's mountains, rivers, vegetation, and illusory scenes.
This feeling of overlooking the world vaguely corresponds to his state in the world he created, but it is far from the absolute control that he had over the universe and was omnipotent.
With a slight shift in his mind, Liu Yi summoned the power of heaven and earth to sweep away the damage caused to the secret realm by the previous battle, and the collapsed mountains and rivers returned to their original state.
He then transplanted the scattered Bloodline Fruit to one place, and reserved enough space for them to propagate.
The plan is to transform the entire Blood Devil Secret Realm into a dedicated orchard for planting Bloodline Fruit.
He collected all the ripe Bloodline Fruit from the tree, and then also took in the various Law Treasure and some mature spirit medicine scattered in the secret realm.
His mind swept over a weak point in the spatial connection, a place that would soon open up to the outside world.
He instantly understood; Su Yuxuan, Yang Jingxing, Mei Kong, and the others had entered the secret realm from this spot.
He immediately mobilized the power of heaven and earth to repair this space, completely severing the last passage from the outside world into the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
"I'll shut down the Spatial Teleportation from the Fairness System to this place later. From now on, the Blood Devil Secret Realm will belong to me alone."
Having accomplished all this, he then carefully explored every part of the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
After confirming that all the resurrection mechanisms left by the Blood Devil had been eliminated, he then withdrew from the state of being connected to the will of the secret realm.
He put away the Great Dao Jade Disc, exhaled a breath of stale air, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
This communication with the will of heaven and earth of the Blood Devil Secret Realm has actually succeeded!
He had already given up hope.
After all, communicating with the will of a world is extremely difficult; even communicating with the will of a celestial realm is fraught with challenges.
He was about to give up when things took an unexpected turn, and he finally succeeded in communicating with the will of heaven and earth of the secret realm.
Stepping out of the stone house and gazing at the groves of Bloodline Fruit in the distance, Liu Yi wore a satisfied smile.
He used his Divine Sense to access the System Store and directly purchased two thousand top-tier mechanical puppets.
A flash of light appeared before their eyes, and the puppets lined up in neat rows.
He immediately issued an order, commanding the mechanical puppets to tend to the Bloodline Fruit and collect the ripe fruit in a timely manner.
Watching all the puppets walk towards the Bloodline Fruit in an orderly fashion, he slowly nodded, having already planned the subsequent management of the secret realm.
From now on, all the Bloodline Fruit here can be sold in the System Store.
With these mechanical puppets managing things, he didn't need to worry about tending to the Bloodline Fruit at all, and he could harvest Bloodline Fruit continuously.
This undoubtedly provides another stable source of Energy Points, ensuring a more abundant Energy Points reserve when the system is upgraded in the future.
He watched as the puppets, each performing their assigned tasks, began watering and pest-repelling the Bloodline Fruit, and sighed:
"The puppetry of the Puppet Sect is becoming more and more intelligent and easier to use."
At this rate, could they actually create sentient puppets someday?
"Let's hope it doesn't cause any trouble later."
After expressing his feelings, Liu Yi turned and returned to the stone house. He sat cross-legged on the stone bed, first taking two drops of the World Origin and swallowing them.
He then summoned the Great Dao Jade Disc again, reconnecting with the will of heaven and earth of the secret realm.
At the same time, he connected his Divine Sense to the Subsystem Computing Power Matrix and focused on comprehending the Great Dao Principle of the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
Although the Great Dao Principle of this Blood Devil Secret Realm only reach the Cave Heaven level, which is not considered profound,
However, the Great Dao Principle of the Dao differ in different places, and comprehending them this time will surely bring him considerable benefits.
Puppet Sect, inside the Heavenly Puppet Hall
Sect Leader Cao Xuan and the twelve elders gathered together for the annual core meeting of the sect.
Cao Xuan's gaze slowly swept over everyone in the hall, and he said in a deep voice:
"Our company's revenue has reached a new high this year, which is something to celebrate, but a crisis is already brewing in the shadows."
Nowadays, various forces and system hosts are increasing their research efforts on mechanical puppets and mechs, and even the System Store has seen the appearance of many mechanical puppets made by other forces.
Although its performance is not yet as good as our sect's products, it is not far off.
Given time, they will surely catch up, and at that time, our sect's profits will likely decrease sharply.
He paused, his tone becoming more serious. "Besides, competition among various mechanical products is becoming increasingly fierce. The only product in our sect that currently has no competitors is the mecha."
Looking to the future, however, some forces will inevitably master the method of mecha manufacturing, leading to numerous competitors and a decline in sect profits.
"Only by being mindful of potential dangers in times of peace can we ensure long-term stability. I wonder if any of you elders have any good strategies?"
The people in the hall initially showed joy at the increased profits, but then frowned upon hearing about the problems they were about to face.
They knew this matter was of great importance.
If the sect's profits decrease, the Energy Points that everyone can receive will decrease, and their cultivation progress will slow down, which is something they absolutely cannot accept.
Elder Sun Shang spoke first, his tone tinged with worry:
"As the system host's cultivation level increases, the demand for Energy Points is growing daily, and everyone is racking their brains to find ways to make money."
Our sect is one of the more profitable sects, so many system hosts and forces have set their sights on us, hoping to get a share of the profits from mechanical puppets and mechs.
Our sect's current success is hard-won, but apart from mechanical puppets and mechs, the other products have low technical barriers and are easily imitated, resulting in numerous competitors.
In my opinion, the most urgent task is to delve deeper into the field of mechanical puppets and mechs, and continuously improve the technology.
In particular, endowing inanimate objects with intelligence is a core competitive advantage of our sect, and we should continue to conduct in-depth research to strengthen our advantages.
Tang Tian frowned, his tone full of worry. "Giving inanimate objects intelligence is indeed the core technology of our Puppet Sect."
However, if we only focus on upgrading and optimizing, I'm afraid that mechanical puppets and mechs might actually develop their own intelligence.
If things escalate into a major, unmanageable mess, it could trigger severe sanctions from the Fairness System.
