Chapter 147: Eye of the Ancient Saint

Li Yu's thought of jumping paths was just a joke.

If you count it, the Spirit Venerable path was the most suitable for him, Li Yu, to cultivate at present.

The most important thing was that there was no True God at the end of the path as a "master." He didn't want to pray day and night to express piety.

As for the secret medicine formulas and promotion rituals for each sequence, after having the Demon Star Command, this was no longer a problem.

Another thing was the future!

At present, Spirit Venerable, as a "True God" hated by both righteous and evil camps, was enough to prove His strength; after all, both sides wouldn't hate a weakling at the same time.

And this True God called "Lord of Myriad Changes" was indeed an interesting god, but there was no doubt that He was a Sinister God.

And the evaluation of being interesting actually came from a powerful evil cultivator.

Who knew what the real situation was?

Who knew if these evaluations were written under the influence of the Lord of Myriad Changes?

A fun-loving god, what wouldn't He do?

For example, deliberately releasing some benefits that looked very suspicious.

When this thought emerged, a paragraph of words floated in Li Yu's mind:

"【Myriad Changes Chaos Egg Summoning Ritual】, 【Fire Demon Summoning Technique】... these two techniques were deliberately spread by the Lord of Myriad Changes, allowing practitioners of other path sequences to watch and even cultivate and use them. The details of the incantations have a certain chance to appear in some hidden and special classics."

"For example, the 'Myriad Changes Chapter of the Divine Illustration' written by the author, all have them recorded."

"Those who read this book by chance can obtain these two spells for free, but please use them with caution, because no matter which spell is used, there is a chance of being polluted by the Myriad Changes magic power carried by the strange objects summoned, and then turning into a believer of the Lord of Myriad Changes. The author will not bear any responsibility for this."

After reading this, Li Yu indeed obtained two new spells that were worth a lot.

It could be said that just by relying on these two spells, his exchange for the Myriad Changes Chapter was already a huge profit.

Both techniques were summoning types, just with different targets.

"Chaos Egg!"

"A universal pet in the world of gods, can also be called 'excrement'... its essence is a monster that cannot withstand divine pollution but did not die suddenly. Both the upper and lower limits are extremely high; the strong are comparable to demigods, and the weak are not even comparable to Sequence Eight practitioners."

"Almost every Sinister God has their own unique Chaos Egg."

"It is rumored that Orthodox Gods also have them, but they are very rare."

"In the secret medicine formulas of many path sequences, Chaos Eggs will appear as medicine guides."

"Usually, practitioners can summon the 'Chaos Egg' of the divine path they are in. As long as they get the True God's consent, they will receive the gift."

"But the Lord of Myriad Changes is not like that. He doesn't set up defenses, whether in the divine domain or not... As long as you learn the ritual, anyone can lure away one or many Chaos Eggs. Of course, the caster must also consider whether this is deliberately done by the Lord of Myriad Changes."

……

"Fire Demon!"

"The kin unique to the 【Lord of Myriad Changes】, possessing extremely fast speed, a deformed body, and terrifying evil fire."

"As one of the most common cannon fodder that can be infinitely regenerated in the divine domain of the Lord of Myriad Changes, it also doesn't set up defenses... anyone who learns the summoning technique can lure away one or many Fire Demons."

……

"To take, one must first give?"

"The Lord of Myriad Changes has such a thick meaning of conspiracy. Only what is given for free is the most expensive."

Li Yu's mind floated with this thought, but he was already crazily tempted.

He wanted to play the "Myriad Changes God-Chosen," so naturally he needed some proof.

These two techniques before him were simply the most suitable.

Just imagine!

When he casually summoned a Myriad Changes Chaos Egg and a Fire Demon, who would doubt his identity as a believer of the Lord of Myriad Changes?

As for the risk of being polluted?

"To join that 【God-Chosen Pioneer Team】, the hard requirement is to resist divine pollution."

"My strange place that locks the last shred of sanity can even save my life from the most dangerous 'facing the True God corpse,' so would I be afraid of just these few strange objects?"

With this thought, Li Yu silently remembered the incantation spells.

But he didn't intend to use them immediately, and even if there was no risk of exposure in the future, he would never use them.

After pondering for a while and looking at the merit points he still had left.

More than 17,000 points.

Still very wealthy, he couldn't think of anything he needed to exchange for the time being, so he kept them for backup.

With a thought, he returned to reality.

In the high-rise camp, looking around, only his mechanical maid Hong Dou was accompanying him.

"Although I didn't have much sense of belonging to the South District Machine Workshop in the first place, it's quite unjust to lose my 'home' because of a Mystic Realm conquest."

"Although there was no other way, it was because I ran fast that I was able to escape."

"Any slower, and I'm afraid I would have had to explain myself there."

"In the Mystic Realm, I could cause trouble, but once I returned to reality, to this Wanfu City where all order had been fixed, the space I could move in was too small. If I wasn't careful, I would have died countless times by now."

"Hmm?"

"That is...?"

Suddenly, Li Yu showed a look of surprise again.

It was because a shocking scene was reflected in his eyes.

In the deepest part of the South District, the area that should have been pitch black was now brightly lit.

A towering, magnificent, and unique building was being built at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Half an incense stick of time?

Or even a shorter time.

That building with a spire shape was born.

The outer layer of the entire tower was coated with extremely special metal materials, flowing with light and color, which seemed to be the special spiritual material called "Tiangong Secret Silver" used by Shang Yang to forge his mechanical body after completing mechanical ascension.

Of course, this was not important; what truly attracted Li Yu's gaze.

=9+Shu_Ba

Was the "Mechanical Giant Eye" that was being embedded at the very top of this tower.

At this moment, not only Li Yu was looking from afar and was amazed.

Other areas in the city, other practitioners or commoners, were also attracted by this commotion.

The discussion was endless.

"What is that? Such a tall tower, it should be the tallest building in Wanfu City, right?"

=9+Shu_ba

"Such a fast construction speed. It is rumored that the 【Sacred Nest】 has already reached a deep cooperation with the Tiangong Sect and has been taught secret techniques by the Tiangong Sect. Now it seems it is actually true."

"So extravagant, Tiangong Secret Silver is a high-level spiritual material, and they are actually willing to use it to coat an inexplicable building."

……

Amidst the discussion of the whole people, the Mechanical Giant Eye was also successfully embedded, and the next moment, it was lit up.

Amidst a loud boom, a beautiful, good-looking light ball, like a "God's Eye," was born in the depths of the South District.

A large amount of colorful light gathered in it, flowing and surging at an unimaginable speed, with one circle of light ring after another constantly shrinking and expanding, while in the very center, it was a deep ghostly blue, as if containing all mystery and transcendence.

Whether commoners or practitioners, all had their gazes attracted.

At the same time, they all heard the mechanical notification sound from the Sacred Nest:

"This is the 【Eye of the Ancient Saint】. It will be the new landmark building of the South District. It will serve as the incarnation of the great True God Ancient Saint in Wanfu City."

"Under the gaze of the Ancient Saint, everyone will receive blessings."

Li Yu also heard these two sentences.

But he immediately felt an extremely strong threat, and blinked and guessed what it was.

In his heart, he cursed.

At the same time, everyone heard a mechanical notification sound from the Sacred Nest:

"This is the 【Eye of the Ancient Saint】. It will be the new landmark of the South District and will serve as the incarnation of the great true god, the Ancient Saint, in Wanfu City."

"Under the gaze of the Ancient Saint, everyone shall be blessed."

Li Yu heard these two sentences as well.

But he immediately felt an extremely intense threat and guessed what it was in the blink of an eye.

In his heart, he began to curse.

"It's surveillance, isn't it?"

"What 'Eye of the Ancient Saint'? It's clearly just a super-sized camera, openly monitoring the entire Wanfu City?"

"Do they feel that the overt and covert surveillance before wasn't enough, so they plan to do it once and for all with a physical layer of total surveillance coverage?"

"Could it be that I provoked this?"

Li Yu was full of confusion, but the next moment, he received the answer from Hong Dou.

"Master!"

"According to the information from the Tiangong internal network in Wanfu City, this is a special wonder."

"Its function is to form all-encompassing surveillance, and it possesses the strange power to see through concealment at the transcendent level... At the same time, it also has a recording function, which can archive and record everything it monitors for future backtracking and deduction..."

"This object will be the eyes of the 【Sacred Nest Intelligence】. With the help of this wonder, its capabilities and intelligence are very likely to undergo another evolution and transformation."

"If this continues, it may very well develop a deductive ability similar to 'knowing the future,' which belongs to the realm of gods... It is developing a unique path to godhood, a path belonging to mechanical and digital life."

He didn't know if it was an illusion.

Hong Dou's previous sentences were very normal, but in the last one, Li Yu detected a sense of surprise and emotion.

That was normal, though; with Hong Dou's current intelligence, it was very reasonable for her to possess some self-emotions.

As a "mechanical life" herself, she indeed had reason to marvel at the power of that Sacred Nest Intelligence.

And Li Yu was even more amazed.

"Is this the true mechanical ascension?"

"If that Sacred Nest Intelligence really succeeds, wouldn't the first mechanical god be born in this world?"

"If it succeeds in ascending to godhood, will it be constrained by the Tiangong Artisan God, 【Fuxi】?"

"After all, its birth purely borrowed the secret arts of the Tiangong Sect. Although it is a brand-new path, the foundation is Tiangong Sect's. Once it becomes a god, it will have to face the Tiangong God at the end of the path..."

"Hmm?"

When his thoughts reached this point, Li Yu habitually fell into conspiracy theories.

Clearly, he was suspicious: the Tiangong Sect's missionary branch had been swallowed, and the headquarters clearly knew, yet they hadn't made a big effort to rescue it, which didn't fit the terrifying power of the Tiangong Sect today. So, is it possible that the Tiangong Sect knows these things and is therefore unafraid?

One could even be darker: could this be intentional by the Tiangong Sect?
