Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 280: The Mechanical World, Gaia’s Consciousness

"Father God, in fact, I have also deduced this point."

Zero said in a deep voice, "Although this path of cultivation has various shortcomings, it is undoubtedly the most suitable cultivation method for our mechanical race—the method of becoming a god.

As long as we continue to grow the source of this world and make the world continue to grow and become stronger, then this world will never decay.

If we use the words of those gods who temper their bodies, we are equivalent to treating the entire world as our own body, constantly tempering the world and making it stronger."

Zero admitted that its own path of cultivation has shortcomings, but as in all paths of cultivation, no path is without flaws.

And if the strength is great enough, such shortcomings can actually be ignored.

"Interesting. Then let me see your Indistinguishable Dao world."

Gu Chuan rubbed his chin, his curiosity piqued by the world that Zero had created through Indistinguishable Dao. He wanted to see what such a world would look like.

Indeed, as Zero had said, the world was its body—if the world remained immortal, then Zero would remain immortal as well.

"Yes, Father God, my world is here."

With a whoosh, the spatial coordinates of his location were immediately transmitted.

"Very good."

With a thought, Gu Chuan instantly crossed infinite time and space. No time or space could stop him as he entered the great world where Zero resided.

Immediately, he felt that this Great Thousand World was completely different from the one he knew.

He immediately sensed that this was a world of steel, full of various minerals—aluminum, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, selenium, molybdenum, cobalt, fluorine, and so on.

This was essentially a world of minerals.

Even the trees were made of steel, and steel jungles stretched out in every direction.

The whole world seemed to have been constructed as the base for the mechanical race, with massive factories lined up, emitting thick smoke that covered the heavens, casting shadows across the sun, and filling the air with a variety of pungent smells.

Such an environment would be highly toxic to humans, a death sentence for anyone who dared to breathe the air.

It was a highly polluted environment for humans.

However, for the mechanical race, this was the ideal environment. What they liked most was the scent of steel jungles and the smell of gasoline and other capable substances.

This environment was like the abyss world.

The abyss world was suitable for creatures like monsters and devils to survive, but for other beings, it was a harsh, poisonous place no one would want to enter.

But those monsters and devils thrived in it.

The same applied here. For the mechanical race, a steel world was the most favorable environment.

In fact, countless special races in chaos transformed great worlds into places suitable for their own survival.

For example, the Furnace Race, which transformed their world into one of endless lava, with rivers of flames burning everywhere.

The Ice and Snow Race lived in a world of ice and snow, thriving in places of extreme cold, while avoiding places of high temperatures.

"I see."

In an instant, Gu Chuan stood on the ground and immediately sensed that Zero's soul had merged into this mechanical world, becoming a part of it.

At that moment, Zero's soul gathered the consciousness of countless lives across the vast world. The more lives and souls born in this world, the stronger Zero's power would become.

The stronger its computing power, the faster its progress.

Its fate had already become intertwined with that of all beings in the mechanical world.

By standing in this world, Gu Chuan could sense that Zero's power was everywhere. No matter where he went, he was influenced by the force of Zero. It was as if the power of Zero controlled every corner of the world.

"Father God."

Zero said, "The life born in this world will be integrated into a smart biological chip, whether it is mechanical life or flesh-and-blood life.

These smart chips will merge with their souls and become part of their consciousness, calculating their physical conditions and even designing the optimal cultivation path for each being.

Every life starts at level zero, and as life evolves, it will be promoted to first-level life forms, second-level life forms, third-level life forms, and so on."

"Is cultivation now digitized? Interesting. So cultivation is like playing a game."

Gu Chuan stroked his chin.

To be honest, if a cultivator could precisely understand their cultivation progress, know what they needed to do to break through, and recognize improvements with every practice session, it would greatly accelerate their development.

"That's right, it's just like playing a game. In fact, after you created the universe's virtual network and the virtual world, I've been imitating it, trying to analyze its secrets, but I had never succeeded."

Zero said in a deep voice, "But since attaining Indistinguishable Dao, I created these cultivation chips. They not only integrate into the bodies of mechanical beings but also into those of flesh-and-blood beings.

Now, these intelligent biological cultivation chips have been distributed and embraced by countless beings, and I can collect massive amounts of life cultivation data, which allows me to calculate the optimal cultivation paths."

Gu Chuan's eyes gleamed. He realized that Zero had truly matured, finding its own path of practice, surpassing even his expectations.

This method was based on the collective wisdom of all beings.

The more beings used these smart biological chips, the more training data was generated.

Zero could use this data to deduce the path to the highest level of cultivation.

This was the power of mechanical intelligence: it could calculate the laws and trajectories of nearly all substances as long as there was sufficient data and computing power.

There was no doubt that Zero's civilization would inevitably become one of the most powerful in the future.

"However, it's too dangerous for you to follow this path. Once the doomsday forces invade your mechanical world, you will have no escape."

Gu Chuan's voice turned serious.

If it were a time of peace, this approach might be acceptable.

But now, with the doomsday powers encroaching, if those forces infiltrated the mechanical world and eroded the will of Heavenly Dao, Zero, after attaining Indistinguishable Dao, would have no means of escaping. It could only await destruction.

This was why even though many gods understood that Indistinguishable Dao was a potential cultivation path, they dared not choose it—they feared death at the hands of the doomsday forces.

After all, a free god is the true god. If bound within a world, unable to escape when danger strikes, they remain bound, no matter their power.
