Chapter 605 The True Form of the Feathered Serpent God, the Heart of Still Water and Clear Mirror
"I shall stand before the North Star God."
The faint divine light dissipated, and Bai Ze appeared where the North Star God was located. He could see the planet-shaped machine in mid-air as soon as he looked up.
The spherical sub-entities embedded in the metal walls from all sides have partially returned to normal, but they remain completely unresponsive to Bai Ze's appearance.
Sound, images, and even information were all abducted by Bai Ze. If the main consciousness of the Nine-Alliance God were here, it might have been able to detect something amiss, but now... the Nine-Alliance God was focused on Rhine.
Even if they left behind subroutines, or even just a part of their consciousness, they still wouldn't be able to detect Bai Ze's presence in time.
Moreover, the security measures here are excellent, and there are spatial anchors to stabilize the space and prevent others from breaking in using spatial teleportation.
Unfortunately, none of these were of any use to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze uses words to teleport, rather than spatial teleportation.
However, in the past, Bai Ze used the ability to move by speaking, which was manifested in the form of spatial teleportation in order to save energy, so no one knew about Bai Ze's ability.
In fact, even today, apart from Bai Ze himself, no one can fully know the power of words to become law.
The ability to manipulate the world with words has been revealed, but no one knows the upper limit of the power of words to make them law.
Unless you see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that such an all-around ability exists.
Just like now, although the Nine-Linked Gods left in haste for other matters, they still did a very good job of protecting the North Star God.
Not to mention spatial anchoring, there are other alarm measures in place, so even if someone tries to force their way in, the Nine-Linked Gods can react in time.
Unfortunately, none of the measures were effective against Bai Ze.
So what if the space is anchored? Bai Ze says he is here, so he is here.
All the protection measures failed to work, and now the Nine Gods' attention is focused on other things.
Compared to the incarnation of the divine enemy, Bai Ze is indeed a threat, but definitely not as great as Rhine.
Bai Ze might cause some disruption, but Rhine's goal is to regain control.
Sending Apuch over already shows how much importance they place on it.
"Everyone thought I would be stopped by Apche. My appearance in space, while threatening, was not serious."
Including the Nine-Linked Gods, and also Rhine:
'
Bai Ze floated up, facing the Polaris Divine Mech in mid-air.
Rhine used Bai Ze to divert some of the Nine Gods' attention, and even sent a powerful figure like Apuch to deal with Bai Ze.
Now, Bai Ze has turned the tables on Rhine.
The North Star God's consciousness was still not very clear, and he was still muttering incoherently, letting Bai Ze's palm press on the eye pattern on his face.
Then—
"Show me your core code, reveal the mental evolution diagram of the spirit machine."
An invisible change occurred after the words were spoken.
Numerous light screens popped up, and the core code of Polaris God was rapidly displayed.
Bai Ze did not attempt to control the North Star God.
Although he was currently overwhelmed by the massive amount of data and his consciousness was clouded, his instincts remained. If he were to attack the consciousness of the North Star God, it would provoke his instinctive resistance.
This is also one of the benefits of the evolution of spirit machines; they possess the survival instincts of living beings, rather than just a string of code.
Therefore, Bai Ze abandoned the confused main consciousness and directly commanded the body of the North Star God.
His consciousness was still impaired, but his body was very honest.
A large amount of data was displayed and extracted by Bai Ze into an information stream, which was then directly incorporated into his primordial spirit.
The very essence of spirit machinery is being coveted and then imitated by Bai Ze.
Theoretically speaking, even if one obtained the core code of Polaris, understanding it would not be easy, let alone making it useful.
Rhine gave the method of mental cultivation to Bai Ze, and the contents of the method were explained clearly, but the actual operation was another matter.
But for Bai Ze, it's the same thing.
Once he understands the principle, he can easily replicate it by making his words come true.
However, the mindset of a spirit machine is ultimately different from that of a human. If I were to completely replicate it, my mind would also become primarily rational, just like a spirit machine.
Bai Ze clicked his tongue lightly.
This is undoubtedly another time bomb planted by the gods on earth.
This guy gave me the complete technique, but he didn't teach me how to maintain my original mindset.
Judging from the domineering appearance of the god of the mortal realm, it is clearly inconsistent with the mindset of the spirit machine.
While the mental state of spirit machines is indeed a great miracle, this miracle is too consistent, showing a tendency towards mass production.
Almost all spirit machines are primarily rational; even if they gain self-awareness, their fundamental nature as mechanical intelligence remains unchanged.
If this state of mind were taken to its extreme, it would be quite similar to the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions of the Eastern Xia Daoists, which Bai Ze does not like.
However, it's not impossible to cultivate this mindset as a state of being and apply it to oneself.
With words that can be followed by laws, Bai Ze can even control his own state of mind at will. He can be flexible and not be limited to one state of mind.
Moreover, his ego is already anchored, so no matter how much he struggles, he won't develop a split personality.
With this in mind, Bai Ze felt his thoughts flow smoothly, and he felt that the Heavenly Heart Realm was within reach.
The gate to the heart is both mysterious and simple. All people have all kinds of mindsets. Some advocate for the deepest emotions and true nature, some promote the transcendence of emotions, and some go to extremes and even forge their own path.
Even if you're obsessed, as long as you're obsessed to the extreme, you might still be able to break through the barriers in your heart.
Of course, such a situation is almost impossible.
Being obsessed with something signifies a lack of mental clarity. To break through the mental barrier with such a state of mind would be even more difficult than becoming an enemy of the gods.
The heart is the gateway to enlightenment; Buddhism speaks of the Tathagatagarbha, Taoism speaks of the primordial spirit. Let the mind be forever unaffected by external, accidental, and easily purified thoughts, so that the spirit does not fall into depravity.
Information related to mental state flashed through Bai Ze's mind as he analyzed the mental structure of the spirit machine.
The mind itself doesn't have much power, but it can unleash power to its fullest extent.
To quickly break through the Heavenly Barrier, a certain state of mind is essential.
Unlike other Heavenly Gate warriors who can rely on time to hone their skills, Bai Ze doesn't have much time left.
With that in mind, Bai Ze had already read through all the relevant information.
"So next, it's time for memories."
Bai Ze did not stop there, but instead wanted to extract the memories of the North Star God as well.
The fact that he did not control Polaris first does not mean that he gave up control.
Bai Ze planned to dismantle the North Star God bit by bit, weaken his instinct to resist to the extreme, and then control him.
After the core code was revealed, Polaris God had little ability to resist Bai Ze.
"Memory retrieval".
Bai Ze pointed his finger, about to dig out the relevant data.
However, at that moment, when the Polaris God's memory data was opened, a piece of code suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a thought was released from that piece of code and rapidly multiplied.
Bai Ze frowned, as if a scene suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The metallic ground moved as if its eyelids were opening, revealing a dazzling golden-red light.
But as the aspect ratio changes, Bai Ze's pupils gradually contract.
What emitted that dazzling light was not an eyeball at all, but clearly a star.
The moving metal ground was not an eyelid, but an enormous metal serpent coiled around the star.
"Dyson sphere?!" Bai Ze uttered these three words almost as if he were groaning.
By constructing a constellation of satellites to encircle a star and collect the energy released by the star as its energy source, this is a hypothetical energy structure called a "Dyson sphere".
The giant snake before me bears a striking resemblance to the Dyson sphere.
They all treated the stars as an energy source, absorbing and utilizing that immeasurable energy.
Bai Ze finally understood why Rhine had said that Quetzalcoatl wouldn't be coming.
Even if a spatial rift capable of tearing the entire Earth apart appeared, it would still seem small compared to the size of Quetzalcoatl.
The spirit machine can indeed pass through small cracks by changing its shape, but how can the star that serves as its energy source be deformed?
In terms of sheer power, even if the sun of the Western Union, the god of humanity, were to come, it would still be inferior to this true star.
Not to mention, these magical machines are no longer just about science; they've even started practicing martial arts.
The spirit machines have successfully integrated themselves into the system of the Four Heavenly Gates of the Divine Gate, and they can now be considered to be able to cultivate.
The reason why the new martial arts of the Western Alliance appeared was actually to pave the way for the spiritual machinery.
They are the true source of Xinwu and the people it serves.
The moment this thought arose, Bai Ze immediately focused his mind.
In that vast and magnificent scene, the giant serpent coiled around the star also turned its gaze in the same way.
Like a giant eye of a satellite, it cast a tangible gaze, piercing the boundary between illusion and reality.
The illusory existence became tangible, and the will was projected through this piece of code, merging with the presence of the original body and crushing Bai Ze's consciousness.
Bai Ze's own shock and perception of the Feathered Serpent God's true form transformed into the sharp blade that the Feathered Serpent God thrust at him mercilessly.
"snort!"
Bai Ze grunted, his eyes suddenly flashing with blood-red and golden light, the sun and moon reflected in his pupils. "You've arrived too late. Now, you think you can kill me with just a thought?"
This wasn't the first time Bai Ze had faced the will of a divine enemy; he had even considered attacking the will of the God of War.
But back then, the God of War's intention was for inheritance, while this one is for attack and killing; the destructive power of the two is completely different.
But Bai Ze is not the same Bai Ze as before.
Especially at this time, when he obtained the Mind Evolution Chart of the Spirit Machine.
"Psychological simulation".
Bai Ze's eyes suddenly returned to normal, and even the crimson color of the Great Freedom Demon Blood faded, becoming incredibly calm and distant.
The feathered serpent god, whose will was projected through the image, suddenly paused.
He discovered that the targets that should have been attacked were fading away, their presence becoming almost nonexistent.
Disappeared?
TopClearMind.
A mind as clear as a mirror, lofty and unfathomable.
The spirit machine's mind was transformed by Bai Ze, becoming a clear and still mind, which inspired its essence, energy, and spirit to merge with heaven and earth, achieving oneness with the universe, and thus escaping the sight of the Feathered Serpent God.
Bai Ze's figure dissipated like wisps of smoke, only to reappear in an instant, appearing after the scene and once again placing his palm on the body of the North Star God.
"Obey me."
Words become inviolable truths, imprinted on the consciousness of the North Star God, while simultaneously altering its core code.
The North Star God suddenly let out a low growl, "Ugh—"
—
His id instinctively struggled, but his mind was forcibly reversed in an instant.
"leave."
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared, and Bai Ze and the Polaris God's bodies disappeared simultaneously, leaving only a faint afterimage.
A piece of information or a piece of code was extracted and left in place.
That was Quetzalcoatl's backup plan, and also the source of this image.
"Um?
""
In the northern part of the Western Union, a figure suspended in mid-air suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
Then he said, "Istab, retrieve Saman's backup data."
"God, did Saman perish?" asked a woman with a human face and closed eyes.
This is Istab, the "Suicide God" among the Nine Gods.
In the ancient civilizations of the central part of the Western Continent, there was a tradition that regarded suicide as a path to heaven, which even gave rise to the "suicide god".
Istab absorbed the relevant faith in his spirit machine form, and his physical performance matched that of the "Suicide God".
.....
...
She has backup data of most of the members of the Nine Gods Alliance. If a member falls, they can be "resurrected" in a disguised way through this backup data.
However, whether the "resurrected" members are still the same as before is a matter of opinion.
After all, although the mind derived from this data is exactly the same, the original consciousness cannot return.
"It did not perish on its own."
The man, who looked exactly like a human and whose face even bore a resemblance to a god, shook his head slightly and said, "He was taken away by an unexpected variable. Even if he is still alive, it's no different from being dead."
If their fate is unknown, then they are dead.
The man knew very well that with the core code in their possession, death was actually the best outcome.
So let's just pretend he's dead.
Upon hearing this, the other figures who landed with the man simultaneously contacted the subprograms left with the North Star God.
Then they discovered that the North Star God had disappeared.
The man, disregarding his subordinates, slowly floated down to the base below and landed on a platform at the top.
Rhine sat on the platform in a chair, his arms crossed, watching the newcomer with a leisurely gaze.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry."
The man landed opposite Rhine, his gaze falling on his face, and spoke in calm words.
"No one can predict the outcome until the very last moment."
Rhein chuckled and said, "Just like back then, you failed to control the Western Union, and instead, I seized control of it."
"Really?" The man smiled as well.
He sat down opposite Rhine and said, "Then let's take a gamble and see if Douglas can replace you."
Rhine wasn't in a hurry, and the man didn't seem to be either.
Both sides seemed very confident.
