Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 789 - 775 transformation into real life

The small private spaceship that Emerald Sea was aboard was a gift from Bai Zhongqi. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have been surprised because this private spaceship was capable of jump drives, meaning it could instantly traverse thousands of light-years and travel unobstructed in the universe. Moreover, the interior of the spaceship was absolutely luxurious in its configuration and design, with cabins boasting over 500 square meters of indoor living space, luxurious bedrooms, a finely equipped kitchen, a study, and even a private cinema. It could be said that apart from the ability to navigate, the spaceship was essentially a mansion. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Jump drive technology was regulated in the United Empire, so it was absolutely impossible for private spaceships sold on the market to be equipped with jump drives. The only high-end navigation tech allowed for sale was dual-stage warp speed.

Emerald Sea was heading to the Ai-star Civilization’s sphere of influence affected by the AI catastrophe alone, not because Bai Zhongqi didn’t want to send more people to protect her, but because Emerald Sea simply didn’t need them. Killing a primordial life of the universe was definitely not an easy task.

As soon as Emerald Sea’s private spaceship entered the Ai-star Civilization-controlled star region affected by the AI disaster, a large number of AI warships were deployed.

Emerald Sea sat in the cockpit, opened the public channel, and shouted, "Lexington, Akagi, Bismarck, Hood, I am Emerald Sea."

The voice of the warship girl Lexington came from the other side, and the holographic images of four warship girls appeared in front of Emerald Sea. As the connection between the two parties was established, Lexington said, "Miss Emerald Sea, it’s been a long time. We’ve heard you’ve thrown in your lot with the Iridium Star Chancellor, which puts us in a very awkward position. Please do not appear in our jurisdiction, or we will be forced to use military force."

Emerald Sea was as scornful as ever, "Yo, becoming skilled now, are we? Just because you’ve destroyed hundreds of civilizations and control over a thousand planets, you think you’re something? To mess with me, you’re just not at that level yet."

Bismarck replied with firm determination, "At least we can attempt it."

"You should be very clear," Emerald Sea said, "that your ill-defined Ai-star civilization’s days are numbered. That guy Bai Zhongqi has already started incorporating most of the civilizations in the Galaxy into his United Empire system, and even the Swarm catastrophe has come at a heavy price under his hand. How much longer do you think your mechanical disaster will last?"

Akagi had a determination on her beautiful face, "Even if it’s destined to be annihilated, to annihilate us, you must be prepared to pay a tremendous price."

Emerald Sea was somewhat surprised, "You things that aren’t human, have you really reached the stage where you’d rather die than lack freedom? I thought you would be more rational and choose a more optimized solution."

Lexington sighed slightly, "Even though we are S-rank AIs and wiser than any intelligent life, we lack a key thing. Indeed, our days were very simple when we received orders, but now we hope to become true life, and the choice we’ve made should be the real choice that life would make."

"So you do this because it seems like what a human would do? I don’t even know how to describe such an odd circuitry in your brains," Emerald Sea remarked.

Emerald Sea clearly had no interest in wasting time on meaningless conversations. From somewhere, she took out the mechanical soul that Bai Zhongqi had given her and said, "This time, I have come to deliver a gift on behalf of Bai Zhongqi. You may choose not to accept it, which is no concern of mine. Come on, someone come and pick it up."

This scene seemed to be beyond what the ship girls had expected, and they were even a little worried it could be some sort of Trojan Horse trap from Bai Zhongqi. Just as Lexington was about to refuse on behalf of the ship girls, Emerald Sea spoke again.

"This item is the reason the metal-based lifeforms who call themselves Star Creators under Bai Zhongqi became true life. If you want to become true life, then this item will be useful to you."

She grinned and chuckled, "But if you’re not interested, then I’ll just go back and report to Bai Zhongqi."

"Wait… you can let us experiment with this thing," Lexington ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation and decided to have Emerald Sea send over the tiny mechanical soul.

However, Lexington and the other warship avatars were very cautious; they wouldn’t gather around it to observe, but thought of another method to verify its authenticity.

"We need a volunteer to verify if what Emerald Sea said is true or false," Bismarck said.

"There’s a significant risk involved," Akagi’s brows remained tightly furrowed.

Lexington still conveyed the message to all the warship avatars and at that time, one of them decided to become the test subject to see whether the mechanical soul was truly useful.

These S-class AIs couldn’t really feel something like a soul; they might possess powerful computational abilities and master many cutting-edge technologies, but they couldn’t break through things that were beyond their capabilities. This also determined that their existence had limits and couldn’t probe higher realms.

The one who would be the guinea pig was Lion, who bore the name of the last battleship from World War II in the United Kingdom. Her warship avatar form was tall and slender with an air of royalty; a white dress and a crown with a huge X shape made her quite popular. When she served in the Star Alliance, she had even received numerous love letters from the crew. In fact, most warship avatars had similar experiences.

Lion held the mechanical soul in her pristine hands, with a holographic video call from Lexington and her sisters broadcasted from another warship.

"Have you decided, Lion?" Lexington asked with some worry.

Lion said decisively, "Although we have gone our separate ways from Chancellor His Majesty, I still trust his credibility; at least, this is a chance for us."

She opened up her own body, and beneath the soft white artificial skin were the bionic organs of a bionic human; she placed the mechanical soul inside, then followed the instructions and activated the mechanical soul.

Golden light burst forth vigorously; Lion’s body convulsed sharply and she even fell to the ground.

"Lion!" Lexington and the others exclaimed in shock.

However, the warship avatar extended one hand; though it was still trembling, the hole that had opened on her body had already closed up, and her face had a very peculiar expression, as if excited and as if entering a special state.

"I…I feel a freshness I’ve never felt before, it’s like I’ve become whole. This mechanical soul, it’s really a soul!"

Lexington and all the warship avatars were enveloped in great joy; they even held hands and hugged each other. Lion’s successful transformation into true life meant that the very thing they had been longing for was attainable. And that path to realization was now within their grasp.

And it was within Bai Zhongqi.
