Chapter 1027: Data (1600 Supplement)

Aaron continued to flip through the researcher's diary.

【March 17th, conducting preliminary preparations for the "Artificial Deity." The mentor gave me a task: to research the folklore and Occultism materials of Green Forest City... Only then did I realize the reason the research institute was established in Green Forest City; this place is very special! The mentor said that a very terrifying figure was born here, and his name is "Green Forest Earl"! Not that very famous Countess Liliyat, but an existence even older and more powerful than her... The other party's origins can even be traced back to the primeval era!】

【April 20th, if not for the clock in the research institute, I would have almost forgotten the time. Today, Chris knocked over my soup bowl...】

【April 21st, there has been a major breakthrough in the data research. A comprehensive analysis of the Foreign God belief in Green Forest City—"Grandmother Green Banyan Tree"—confirms that it has a great connection to the legend of the Green Forest Earl from the primeval era... Besides that, She should possess extraordinary factors... For example, the birth of the sprites might be inseparable from this existence...】

【May 1st, continuing to work overtime... Today, the mentor proposed a very interesting hypothesis: "Grandmother Green Banyan Tree" is just a pan-consciousness... This involves a higher "dimension-raising" equation, but because my knowledge of higher mathematics is insufficient, I cannot really understand it... The mentor finally concluded that the local residents' pan-belief in "Grandmother Green Banyan Tree" can help us artificially create a god!】

【June 1st, the experiment has officially begun. I haven't recorded in the diary for a month. I think the time I have to write in the diary in the future will become less and less... May the artificial deity bless my hairline.】

……

【Haha... How can mortals peer into the divine?】

【I am going to die. I hope to bury the disaster of the research institute along with me...】

【The Old God is dead, long live the New God!!!】

Jason swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Are we really going to enter this research institute? In this research institute, there is an artificial deity... No, it's a monster!"

Even, it might be an irreproducible miracle!

"No wonder that artificial deity is unwilling to leave... This is Its birthplace, and the only place in the Mortal World where It can roam to Its heart's content!"

After that, it reached the end of the diary.

Aaron walked into the metal corridor with long strides.

【Three more months have passed. The external environment is getting worse and worse. Riots and wars can be seen everywhere, and contact with the Supreme Academy of Sciences has been cut off for a long time... We even doubt whether the Federation still exists. There are no more supplies... But it doesn't matter, the power of the deity can repair everything!】

This sentence, however, was not the final ending.

【There has been a major breakthrough in the research! The mentor announced that he has completely cracked the mystery of the "Imaginary Space." This is a discovery sufficient to compete for the Royal Supreme Scientific Research Award! He will open the "Imaginary Space," draw the energy within it, and inject it into the "Deity Embryo"... I can't wait to see what the newborn deity looks like... He, or she, should become the most perfect and obedient work of our research institute, based on the constant mental interference...】

Aaron looked at the last page and found that below the end, there was another sentence, a sentence that did not match the previous context at all:

Here, the writer's handwriting became increasingly scrawled, carrying a hint of madness.

【Based on the mentor's experience of dissecting countless "Mysterious Ones," we determined that the "Deity Embryo" lacked a special kind of energy... The mentor urgently transported some more materials. According to Occultism, they were all pure "Shadow" Extraordinary individuals, and there was even a "Shadowless" among them...】

Aaron read books quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he flipped to the last few pages.

He vaguely felt that he was about to see the most critical part, and flipped the pages unhurriedly.

"It has a feeling of the Spirit World... A semi-Spirit World?"

The other party relied on a powerful status to forcefully drive a wedge of the Spirit World into reality, even causing the real area to begin "semi-Spirit World-ization"!

Of course, in this current era of a Spirituality desert, being able to do this is even more rare.

Aaron sighed.

Seeing the environment here, Aaron couldn't help but think of the small town where the "Son of Dawn" once was.

"Is 'Imaginary Space' another name for the Spirit World?"

【Experiment... The experiment has had a big problem. The Deity Embryo is growing too fast... The spirit is not stable enough...】

……

There are no complete paragraphs here, only line after line of scrawled handwriting:

Aaron's fingers stroked the last few pages, feeling the desperate brushstrokes.

【The mentor is dead... Before he died, he opened the highest-level lockdown, preparing to expel the Imaginary Space...】

【Having lost contact with the outside world for several years, I finally received news from the outside, but unfortunately, it is bad news... It's too terrible... The "Infinite Energy" project of Research Institute No. 2 has completely failed. Not only that, their whimsical idea of extracting energy from the Earth's core has caused terrifying, catastrophic consequences... The desertification of the whole world is unavoidable. God, what should I do?】

As soon as he entered the interior of the research institute, Aaron felt the difference.

Chloe was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

"It seems that in the end, Xia Ya's spirit was eroded by the 'Artificial Deity'?"

"Exactly. Once Leviathan Company discovers this place and finds out that we have been here, it would be hard to even die..."

The old man sneered: "Research Institute No. 1 and No. 3 might be the predecessors of those Leviathan Companies we are familiar with!"

【The mentor boosted the morale of the research institute. He told us... as long as the artificial deity succeeds, we can rely on Its power to turn the world around! Everyone went crazy and threw themselves into the process of the artificial deity... We captured some "sprites," and using one of the oldest Green Banyan Trees in the Green Forest region as a blueprint, we created the "Deity Embryo"... But the embryo completely stopped growing.】

"This is really very likely!"

On the next page, brand new content emerged:

"Having discovered such a big secret, it is enough for all the Leviathan giants to silence us..."

"Not only that, this consciousness network, as well as human body digitization, don't you find it familiar?"

Chloe was thoughtful.

At this moment, the old man became a firm supporter: "It's better to go in and take a gamble! Otherwise, do you think those greedy guys will let us go?"

"So the cause of the Great Catastrophe back then was actually the experiment of Research Institute No. 2?"

"Hmm?"

……

……

The sense of space is distorted here; you seem to be walking forward, but you might be moving backward or to the left or right...

Feeling the Spirituality overflowing in the void, Aaron couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

If it were other Extraordinary individuals who knew there was such a place in the Mortal World, they would probably have fought over it... Of course... it might also be serving themselves up as food for the artificial deity here!
