Having defeated Alice, Lin Tian confird that she wouldn't wake up for a while and turned his attention to the chanical Ascension Pool.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how Alice and her chanical doll were bathed in the silvery waters of the chanical Ascension Pool, emanating chanical brilliance and becoming stronger than before.
Lin Tian was eager to see what kind of opportunity and transformation awaited him when he entered the chanical Ascension Pool. Would it be the sa as Alice's experience, or was there a different fate waiting for him?
Driven by this uncertainty, Lin Tian walked towards the chanical Ascension Pool. Standing before the boiling silvery water, feeling the abundant power of chanical ascension, Lin Tian observed for a few seconds before leaping into it.
Just like when he first entered the Psionic Ascension Pool, he felt nothing as he soaked in the silvery waters of the chanical Ascension Pool. But after a few seconds, a force that seed to tear his flesh apart began to rip through his body.
Unlike the previous ti when the Psionic Ascension Pool tore at his flesh and soul, this ti the sensation was directed only at his physical body, sparing his soul from the pain. However, the physical pain was even greater than what he had experienced in the Psionic Ascension Pool.
Lin Tian endured the pain, carefully sensing the changes in his body.
“Why do I feel that my experience is completely different from Alice's baptism in the chanical Ascension Pool?”
Recalling Alice's gentle transformation process during her baptism in the chanical Ascension Pool, Lin Tian was sure that Alice did not experience the sa excruciating pain that he was going through.
Unable to understand why he and Alice had different experiences in the sa chanical Ascension Pool, Lin Tian stopped thinking about it and continued to observe his body's changes.
The wounds on his body multiplied, and the silvery water swiftly entered his body through the wounds, reshaping the skin around them, which now glowed with a silvery chanical brilliance akin to inscriptions.
First, his body was torn apart, then the wounds were repaired with silvery chanical skin, similar to the texture of the pool's water. Was this transformation intending to turn his flesh into a chanical body with the sa tallic texture as the silvery water?
As this thought crossed his mind, Lin Tian glanced at the inscriptions on the chanical monunt.
“Flesh is weak, chanical ascension... so that's what it ans? But why didn't Alice's body turn into a chanical one?”
Lin Tian looked at the unconscious Alice again, still unable to understand, so he refocused on his own transformation. The process of his flesh transforming into a chanical body was slow, with the healed skin resembling inscriptions.
He hesitated, wondering whether to accept this complete transformation into a chanical body now. A deep sense of foreboding gripped him, a feeling he didn't have when he entered the Psionic Ascension Pool.
He felt that completing this transformation now would be extrely detrintal to him. Shouldn't achieving a complete chanical body be the realization of the inscription's promise of chanical ascension and godhood? How could one beco a complete chanical body right after entering the pool?
Although Lin Tian had only encountered the secrets of the chanical God Kingdom this once, based on his understanding of the inscription “Flesh is weak, chanical ascension” and his observation of Alice's baptism, he felt sothing was wrong.
As Lin Tian hesitated, he suddenly felt his consciousness traverse an endless space, arriving in a dimly lit area within the darkness.
Sothing was indeed wrong!
With a deepening gaze, Lin Tian looked at the only faintly glowing area. He tried to return to his body but failed. After so contemplation, he decided to approach the faintly glowing area, despite the extre danger it posed.
As Lin Tian neared the glowing area, it suddenly emitted a dazzling silvery chanical brilliance. Under the illumination of this chanical brilliance, an enormous chanical brain modeled after the human brain appeared before him.
This gigantic chanical brain was composed of various intricate chanical devices and connected to countless data lines extending outward. These data lines frequently flashed with special lights, as if transmitting sothing from the chanical brain and receiving vast amounts of data from unknown connections.
“Welco to my data world, you who have been abandoned by the chanical God Kingdom, yet chosen by through the baptism of the chanical Ascension Pool.”
A voice devoid of any emotion echoed in the dark space, making Lin Tian instantly alert.
The next mont, the emotionless voice sounded again.
“Don't be nervous. I am the chanical mainfra you see before you, created with the combined wisdom of everyone in the chanical God Kingdom. People of the chanical God Kingdom call Tianming (Destiny).”
Destiny?
Gazing at the chanical mainfra nad Tianming, Lin Tian pondered its earlier words. After a mont, he asked, “What do you an by saying I am from the abandoned land?”
“The abandoned land is what was left behind when the Gene God Kingdom, chanical God Kingdom, and Psionic God Kingdom, unable to defeat the Abyssal God, sealed off most of their regions to preserve humanity, leaving behind the abandoned land.”
Hearing Tianming's answer, Lin Tian was shocked.
“Does that an... people from the three God Kingdoms and us share the sa ancestors?”
In response to Lin Tian's question, Tianming continued to explain.
“Correct. The people of the three God Kingdoms and the humans of the abandoned land share common ancestors. Having answered your question, may I now ask you so questions?”
“You're quite smart for a machine. Go ahead and ask.”
Lin Tian still had more questions about the three God Kingdoms, but this intelligent mainfra nad Tianming was surprisingly aware and wanted to ask him questions. Despite Tianming answering his questions, Lin Tian remained highly vigilant.
“As the crystallization of the chanical God Kingdom's wisdom, I naturally possess intelligence. The reason I chose you from the abandoned land is because you have a constitution that even the chanical God Kingdom cannot comprehend, allowing you to achieve chanical ascension instantly. On behalf of the chanical God Kingdom, I invite you to beco a permanent resident and help you achieve true chanical ascension. Would you like to upload your consciousness to the chanical mainfra, to this data space I created?”
Listening to Tianming's emotionless words, Lin Tian frowned.
“What good would uploading my consciousness to the chanical mainfra do?”
“You will gain access to all the knowledge of the chanical God Kingdom, becoming the wisest human. You will approach any situation with absolute rationality, untainted by emotions, always making the most logical choices. You will achieve immortality; no matter what danger you face, even if your body is destroyed, you can be resurrected in a chanical form, becoming indestructible. You will no longer fear death in battle. Each of your deaths will be recorded as data, helping you analyze and improve, enhancing your abilities against different enemies, evolving infinitely, and growing stronger with each fight.”
After hearing Tianming's response, Lin Tian pondered for a mont before asking, “Uploading my consciousness should only grant partial access to your shared knowledge, right? To gain the complete enticing abilities you ntioned, what other price must I pay?”
Upon being questioned by Lin Tian, the previously all-knowing chanical mainfra Tianming fell silent for a few seconds. Although the silence was brief, it deepened Lin Tian's distrust of Tianming.
“To achieve absolute rationality in chanical ascension, one must eliminate the dark side of human nature. This is the path every god of chanical ascension must take, the greatest evolution. Don’t you want to attain absolute rationality, erasing selfishness from your humanity, and join a great kingdom of fairness and love?”
Faced with Tianming's tempting words, Lin Tian decisively refused.
“No, I don't want to lose my consciousness and soul, becoming a pile of mass-produced garbage data. chanical ascension without self-awareness is worthless!”
