Chapter 967: Chapter 203: Work on the Other Side
When Xiang Shan re-entered the seawater, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this mont, the prosthetic body of the Holy Lord had also been disassembled into several external attachnts, which could be used to enhance the maneuverability of this body in the water. This modular setup could also be assembled into an independent humanoid machine for action.
Now he was able to float in the water directly without relying on buoyancy devices.
However, the commotion this setup created was too large, causing the surrounding dolphins to start complaining.
Xiang Shan scratched his head and apologized to the surrounding dolphins.
But he did not turn off the turbine system.
Then, he followed an underwater passage, walking along it to reach another body of water.
Beside him, a naless swordsman who used to be a subordinate of the Sixth Martial God turned his head, looked at the building Xiang Shan had constructed above, and sighed, “The infamous assassin ‘Ghostly Dream Shadow’ is now in this state…”
“Are you mocking ?” Xiang Shan glanced at him, “Saying that my teaching is inadequate or sothing.”
“Ghostly Dream Shadow” was the codena/nickna ngying Yang used during her activities as a hero. She possessed a ghostly movent technique, using a lightweight prosthetic body, capable of performing incredible silent footwork, completely contrary to the human perception of a “machine.” She also assisted Xiang Shan and the others in assassination activities.
However, unlike Xiang Shan, who was responsible for “killing” and “publicity,” ngying Yang always remained a hidden support in the shadows, unseen and unnoticed.
Only when the Martial Ancestor announced under the spotlight that “so-and-so has been executed,” did others have the chance to glimpse the assassin in the shadows.
“Ghostly Dream Shadow” was the title she chose for herself.
The naless warrior smiled, “How could I? After all, two hundred years have passed. Many things can’t withstand the test of ti.”
Xiang Shan sighed.
He actually spent so ti trying to dig up parts of ngying Yang’s mories. However, before being completely defeated by Xiang Shan, ngying Yang had attempted to delete her own mories, so Xiang Shan did not get all of them.
About this, Xiang Shan felt sowhat worried.
Although the Holy Lord gave him most of the information, he even issued a broadcast saying, “all Six Dragons Sect communications are halted” — under this notice, even temporary ergency communications couldn’t be trusted. Only mbers of the Six Dragons Sect who were previously familiar with each other could barely maintain a little contact.
The Six Dragons Sect organization was basically suspended.
But even so, the Holy Lord still had sothing to hide.
And ngying Yang had also deleted part of her mory.
Could it be that they are hiding sothing behind their backs? Sothing they don’t want Xiang Shan to know?
Moreover, the most important content was roughly ngying Yang’s experiences over the past two hundred years.
Things he didn’t know.
After he was killed by Yawgmoth, his initial companions created the “Second Martial God” to continue raising the banner and boost morale. “The Martial God never dies” thereby officially beca a legend.
But soon, the bubble burst. Those initial heroes couldn’t deceive themselves, let alone deceive the heroes.
And ngying Yang suffered the most.
She heard about a bit of “historical truth.” The “Persona” technology was initially conceived by her grandfather, Chen Feng. Her grandfather always had the idea that “human commonality is greater than individuality,” suggesting that the human mind may be asured in TB, but the true individuality, which defined a person as that unique person, might only be a few dozen MB, the size of a picture or a song file. He proposed a plan to verify this conjecture.
No one expected that he would use the concept left in the lab here.
The person who opens the Magic Box never knows what they are releasing. Those who were eager to raise a “flag” initially never expected that their actions would create the most unique “cultural phenonon” in human history.
After the Second Martial God ca the Third Martial God. The initial victims. And then, the Fourth Martial God finally changed humanity’s perception of “chivalry.”
But the Fourth Martial God perished as well.
Through ngying Yang’s mories, Xiang Shan finally understood that feeling.
He had only been asleep for two hundred years. But to those who loved him, every revival of a Martial God was a spiritual servitude.
Perhaps “not admitting the Martial God as Xiang Shan” was also a form of self-protection on a spiritual level.
When the Sixth Martial God raised the banner, ngying Yang couldn’t help but erge from her hidden domain, wanting to go to the White Fleet Prosthetics Followers — even if this ti it ant dying in tens of thousands of fleets.
However, she first encountered another Xiang Shan. She happily greeted that Xiang Shan. She felt she could finally face other Grandpa Xiangs.
Then…
Xiang Shan and the naless warrior walked into a dark passageway.
Xiang Shan no longer wanted to reminisce.
This passage was a newly excavated underwater space. At the entrance, there was a machine reminder, but no lethal interception chanisms were set up, purely voluntary.
And on the other side of the passage was the new lair of the squids.
The spear squid community gained a space in Ola Freeman’s small town. These soft-bodied creatures were much smaller than dolphins, and although their population was relatively large, they only needed a smaller space.
And here, Ola Freeman, along with a few animal protectors who had stayed, were studying the biological chip manufacturing technology Xiang Shan brought back.
This set of chip manufacturing technology and implantation surgery was a complete set of technology developed by the Six Dragons Sect, requiring ti to learn.
Presumably, in a few years, Ola and the others would be able to create suitable chips and implant them into the next generation of squids.
It won’t take too long. Perhaps within the remaining lifespan of his squid friend, this setup could operate.
Upon seeing Xiang Shan arriving, the squid group began to flicker. Once they conveyed specific ssages within the cluster to each other, the entire squid group would exhibit a rhythmic overall light and dark pattern, as if the group itself had intelligence.
This wasn’t the developnt of collective intelligence by the squids, but a manifestation of the order brought about by squid language to the squid group.
Soon, the squid with the na that ant “Soul” squeezed over.
Xiang Shan greeted, “How are you doing here?”
“Pretty good…” Soul had a sowhat hard ti understanding the high-tech concept of “Personality Mask.” The acquisition of “personality” by the squids was sothing recent. Their language hadn’t had ti to describe the relevant concepts, and Soul didn’t know how to specifically understand it. And “Personality Mask” was even more magical to Soul.
Soul still didn’t quite understand whether this Xiang Shan was the friend who fought alongside his compatriots before.
However, he still extended his longest tentacle, wrapping it around Xiang Shan’s wrist in accordance with human etiquette… then found it couldn’t be wrapped, so he wrapped two fingers instead, and gently shook them.
