The Growth of a God-Chapter 547 - 17: Pilot of the Artificial God

The sturdy exoskeleton armor...

The organic structure composed of light cells...

The infinite power of the ’Imaginary Number Core’...

These are the key elements that give the ’No. 1 Machine’ power comparable to the Gods, yet they are not the core conditions for the creation of the ’No. 1 Machine.’

What truly supports the ’No. 1 Machine’ and makes it the first experimental subject of the entire ’Artificial God Plan’ is the ’Divine Skeleton’ inside its body.

That is a bone genuinely from a God, a trophy secretly brought back from the Divine Fall Realm by Tianyou.

To smoothly bring this divine skeleton back to the Mountain and Sea Realm,

Tianyou not only notified Quinn, who resides in the Divine Fall Realm, but also privately struck a deal with Fighting God Qi Tian under the command of the Goddess of Death.

Thus, he unobtrusively transported this divine skeleton back to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Worried that the skeleton might still harbor the will of the God,

when the ’Artificial God Plan’ was proposed, Tianyou even made a special trip to the Netherworld to invite a Celestial Monarch for an evaluation.

In fact, this is also why the ’No. 1 Machine’ maintains the form of a Four-armed Giant instead of something more suited to the Mountain and Sea People.

Because that was the original form of the fallen God.

With the current technology of the Mountain and Sea Civilization, it is still impossible to extensively modify the true ’Immortal Bone.’

So Tianyou could only choose the next best thing—to create an artificial God belonging to the Mountain and Sea Civilization based on the Four-armed Giant’s skeleton.

Of course, Tianyou is not content with the ’Artificial God Plan’ of the Mountain and Sea Civilization remaining at this stage.

Compared to a unique trial product, what Tianyou wants is a genuine industrial product that can be mass-produced.

So, while perfecting the construction of the ’No. 1 Machine,’ Tianyou is also secretly researching how to artificially replicate the ’Immortal Bone.’

Even if it doesn’t match the strength of the divine skeleton, something slightly inferior would suffice.

Until the emergence of the Celestial Human Realm, the special force called ’Qi,’ which can continuously enhance biological functions, naturally came into Tianyou’s view.

In a certain sense, this is one of the reasons why Tianyou is willing to continue communicating and trading with Haoguang.

The ’Artificial God Plan’ requires more data and information related to ’Qi.’

Getting a Celestial Being’s body would be ideal.

Celestial Beings are known to rival the Gods, and using their bodies would certainly provide insights to create bones comparable to the divine skeleton.

"So you need a cultivator who truly understands ’Qi’ to help you test an experimental... Divine Armament?"

Summarizing Tianyou’s narration, Yu Wei glanced back at Flora and A Lang behind her.

Since they brought her to this museum, they had been listening with interest to Tianyou’s eloquent exposition.

Obviously, they did not know the secret ’Artificial God Plan’ that Tianyou was carrying out.

Or they were not fully aware of the details inside the ’Artificial God Plan,’ which is why they listened so intently.

"That’s right, it is indeed experimental."

"But you can rest assured about the safety aspects, and it fully meets your needs in terms of power."

Emphasizing the word "needs," Tianyou still appeared confident.

Looking at Tianyou like this, Yu Wei seemed to see the Sun Star Monarch who once ignited change in the Celestial Human Realm.

Equally confident, equally spirited...

If there’s any difference, it is that Tianyou has the support of an entire civilization, not fighting in solitude.

"You said it was a trade, but in the end, it seems like I’ve become your test subject..."

With a slight smile tugging at her lips, Yu Wei said, half-jokingly.

"Had I known, I might not have proposed to use the ’Creation Gold Coin’ as a bargaining chip back then."

However, in the face of Yu Wei’s teasing, Tianyou merely gave a dismissive smile.

"If you hadn’t used the ’Creation Gold Coin’ as a bargaining chip, Flora and A Lang probably wouldn’t have brought you to see me either."

"Currently, there might be few cultivators proficient in ’Qi’ in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but there will be more eventually."

"After all, the ’Artificial God Plan’ is not in a rush for such a short time."

"On the contrary, the Celestial Human Realm urgently needs our support."

"I believe you know the impact of a ’human-made God’ that has entered the practical combat phase on the entire situation."

Before Yu Wei could argue, Tianyou added.

"Moreover, our deal is not to make you an experimental subject for the ’human-made God,’ but to let you possess a ’human-made God.’

"These are fundamentally different."

As Tianyou said, he is willing to exchange the ownership of a ’human-made God’ for a ’Creation Gold Coin.’

This is entirely different from making Yu Wei a temporary test subject for the ’human-made God.’

"I believe you!"

After a brief silence, Yu Wei asked a new question.

"However, I’m a bit puzzled now..."

"Since you can already create a ’human-made God,’ why do you still need a ’pilot’?"

Although born in the Celestial Human Realm, living in the Mountain and Sea Realm for so long has given Yu Wei enough understanding of autonomous mechanics, artificial intelligence, and artificial souls.

From an outsider’s perspective like Yu Wei’s, the powerful and dangerous Divine Armament dubbed ’human-made God’ should never be allowed to be in individual hands.

"I can answer that question!"

At this moment, Flora, who had been itching to speak up, raised her hand excitedly.

"Actually, the project team had considered using ’artificial souls’ to drive the ’human-made God’ before..."

"However, the ’artificial souls’ project had errors, leading to Tianyou being confined for quite some time, and the related project was directly canceled."

This was Tianyou’s public dark history, and it indirectly led to the birth of a Netherworld Ghost God—E Kui, who harbored hatred for the Mountain and Sea People.

Since then, all project participants realized one thing: setting a pilot instead of relying on unpredictable ’autonomous driving’ is a better solution.

At least if the ’human-made God’ went berserk, there’d be the fatal weakness of the pilot.

"I see."

Nodding in sudden understanding, Yu Wei recognized that visionaries from the well-known Mountain and Sea had obviously considered the feasibility of autonomous driving.

In the current context, setting a pilot for the ’human-made God’ seems to be a fallback option.

"Well, I agree to this transaction then."

"But I have a condition—I must become the strongest ’human-made God’ pilot."

"Don’t placate me with experimental or mass-produced models; can this be done?"

With a carefree smile, Tianyou softly replied.

"Of course, that won’t be a problem!"

"But before becoming an official pilot, you must undergo necessary enhancements and modification training."

"After all... ordinary creatures cannot pilot the ’Divine Body.’
