"It’s a pity he’s been dead for too long; there’s limited use for the body," Gu Shanhai sighed as he looked at the male corpse, suspecting that this was indeed Shen Heng.
The soul had arrived first, and the flesh had taken several years to follow.
Of course, whether it was him or not didn’t really matter anymore; the man was dead, and the value of the corpse was limited.
The real value lay in this space station, which might contain records of certain technologies.
"So I still need to go and find so energy?" Gu Shanhai scratched his head, considering the sizable energy source required for the space station, which could be a bit troubleso to fabricate.
"Let’s keep it simple."
Gu Shanhai’s idea of keeping it simple ant finding a Cave Soul Stage Disciple from Chengyun Sect to co over and temporarily act as an energy source.
As long as they installed a transformation device between the Cave Soul Stage Disciple and the space station and had the disciple adjust the input power of their mana, it would work.
This was much simpler than creating a new energy source, more cost-effective too. After all, even if an energy source was created, it would need to be consud; energy couldn’t simply appear out of nowhere.
A Cave Soul Stage Disciple should be sufficient to operate the entire space station, as they had refined a spirit vein in their body and didn’t need to worry about a shortage of mana.
Under the orders of Gu Shanhai, the Dharma Transmission Elder, it wasn’t long before a Cave Soul Stage Disciple was arranged to co over.
The disciple did not look down upon Gu Shanhai for being a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator from the Lower Three Realms; Gu Shanhai’s prestige was such that it was influential not just in Chengyun Sect, but also in Juxia Sect and Feather Transformation Sect.
"Let’s first test the conversion rate. Start by inputting your mana bit by bit..." Gu Shanhai quickly rigged up the transformation device and began to communicate with the disciple.
The efficiency was quite good, and soon they had the whole space station rebooted.
’Hiss, this text... it seems there’s a ninety percent probability that this corpse is Shen Heng,’ Gu Shanhai thought as he looked at the text on the central system after startup, ntally cursing.
He didn’t recognize which world this was, and the script was not recorded in his previous life either. He could understand it this ti thanks to Shen Heng; as he learned the script from Shen Heng when recording cha knowledge, it now matched the text of the space station’s system.
As he delved deeper into the entire space station’s systems, Gu Shanhai discovered sothing very troubling: he suspected that Shen Heng’s mory had been tampered with.
From the central system, he retrieved the identity of the deceased: a level one cha researcher, the founder of the ’Twilight of the Gods’ series of chas, a level one authority of the Cosmic Fortress·Heavenly Venerate.
That’s right, it was Shen Heng; the entire set of cha knowledge he had imparted to Gu Shanhai belonged to the ’Twilight of the Gods’ series, where he was the founder.
But there was a problem with his mory. According to his own description, he had traveled through to another world after finding a certain painting scroll, but from what could be seen here, he had crossed over after death.
’Shen Heng has lost a part of his mory, and that part should be his association with the Cosmic Fortress·Heavenly Venerate.’
This space station was a part of Heavenly Venerate, belonging to the sky-based weapons section, dealing with star-level weapons.
This also confird sothing; in the world before Shen Heng crossed over, the God Slayer was only one of the top-tier chas, not the most cutting-edge technological creation.
Heavenly Venerate was the ultimate strategic weapon. Gu Shanhai accessed the data for this so-called Dawn space station, which doubled as a sky-based weapon; typically, it would protect the mother star as a space station, and if needed, it could join with ring worlds and gastructures to form a top-tier fortress.
"Hit the jackpot," Gu Shanhai muttered to himself.
If he could master it, not to ntion manufacturing it, just ensuring that this dawn sky-based weapon could fire two laser shots would allow him to resolve the war within three days.
Unfortunately, it was re wishful thinking, as due to the world shift, a great number of paraters and data couldn’t be calibrated and had to be reprogramd. Moreover, the presence of spiritual energy interference rendered the original positioning and tracking systems completely ineffective.
Then there was the energy issue. According to Gu Shanhai’s estimation, the amount of energy needed for this sky-based weapon to fire was not sothing a Cave Soul Stage cultivator could handle; even a Peeping Dao Stage cultivator might be drained dry, and it still might not be enough for a single shot.
So, at most, they could only try to simplify it and load it onto the God Slayer cha, without requiring the power to annihilate a star like the sun. It only needed to be able to take out a Peeping Dao Stage in one shot.
In front of the Dawn Sky-Based Weapon, a Peeping Dao Stage was hardly more significant than an ant.
The Peeping Dao Stage itself couldn’t even destroy a star similar to the sun if they tried with all their might, but in front of the Dawn, it was just a regular attack.
In fact, even if it were usable, Gu Shanhai wouldn’t dare to use it; the power was too great. One careless move might cause a major earthquake throughout the entire Xuanji Realm.
However, just because it couldn’t be used now didn’t an he couldn’t use it in the future. Gu Shanhai could totally modify it and equip it onto the Azure Dragon, considering it moonlights as a weapon.
This Dawn Sky-Based Weapon wasn’t just a part of the Cosmic Fortress·Heavenly Venerate’s arsenal, it was also a bona fide space station, with nurous research projects and data stored within.
Gu Shanhai extracted them all and quickly proceeded with further research.
"There’s not much that’s usable," Gu Shanhai frowned. He found that the scientific projects here were too broad. They were not only useless to him, but also to the entire Xuanji Realm.
There were indeed so devices that Gu Shanhai also examined, but unfortunately, they were mostly damaged.
It was probably due to the severe impact they sustained during the transition.
"Did you find anything decisive?" Supre Elder Ling Cheng walked over, asking with so curiosity.
He couldn’t understand any of these bizarre things. Although at first glance they seed sowhat similar to the God Slayer cha, since the God Slayer cha connected through Spiritual Sense and manual control was rarely used, Elder Ling Cheng was completely clueless about the space station and could only wait for Gu Shanhai to complete his research.
"The findings are significant, and yet not," Gu Shanhai sighed, briefly describing the situation.
Ling Cheng had an epiphany. It could be used, but not fully without modifications.
"Then, Shanhai, when do you think you can produce results? Weren’t you interested in the Spirit Vein of the Feather Transformation Sect’s Hualong Mountain before? If this works out, our entire Supre Elder Group will support you!" Ling Cheng declared boldly.
"Elder, can you stop selling dreams? This was already mine to begin with..." Gu Shanhai comnted dryly. If Chengyun Sect won, it wouldn’t just be the Feather Transformation Sect’s Hualong Mountain, even Juxia Sect’s Feihong Mountain would be his for the taking, and nobody would dare to object.
"Oh, that does seem true. It was already yours," Ling Cheng also realized. He could bluff others, but bluffing Gu Shanhai didn’t quite work.
"Then I don’t care..."
"Don’t say that, Elder. If you don’t care, what will beco of ? I still need your help," Gu Shanhai interrupted Ling Cheng with a laugh.
"It seems you already have so ideas, Shanhai. Just say what you need. As long as it won’t kill , put through the wringer all you want," Ling Cheng was ready to go all out in support of Gu Shanhai.
"Firstly, secrecy. I think you should understand, Elder, what would happen if a powerful artifact capable of obliterating the sun and shaking half of the Xuanji Realm were leaked," Gu Shanhai said.
Ling Cheng nodded, "I will announce to the outside world it’s so kind of exotic teoric iron, intended for forging a brand-new God Slayer cha."
Claiming there was nothing would definitely raise suspicions; instead, so truthful information would serve as both bait and a shield.
Gu Shanhai agreed with this approach.
"Next, I need enough manpower to cooperate. If this Dawn Weapon is successfully modified, it could not only be implented in the God Slayer cha but also upgrade the small cha artifacts of the Middle Three Realms and the hot weapons series artifacts of the Lower Three Realms. Once successful, within three years, we’d definitely wipe out Juxia Sect and Feather Transformation Sect."
"And then unify the Xuanji Realm!"
Gu Shanhai was also painting a picture of the future. It would be a waste not to seize such a good opportunity.
