Chapter 133: Advanced Forms of Artificial Life (55)
[An advanced form of artificial life? ]
A long time ago, the skeleton people, who were still in the primitive civilization stage, used some special means to create a group of skeleton people called "second-generation skeleton people."
They are not naturally born skeletons, but natural strong beings bred by infusing spiritual elements into certain bones.
The first person among the skeletons to ascend to god, Ake, was born from this second generation of skeletons.
Li Hao originally thought that was the limit of the skeleton people.
However, what was happening at the think tank research institute told Li Hao that he had underestimated the wisdom and madness of these skeleton people.
No matter how hard the skeletons try to improve their bone strength, they are no match for creatures with complex mechanisms on a biological level.
The sensitivity and coordination of nerves, the strength and toughness of muscles, the protection and body sensation of the skin...
These special functions cannot be replaced by the strength of bones alone.
The knowledgeable people among the people obviously realized this, so they began to find ways to find solutions.
Covering the bodies of the skeletons with a layer of artificially created "flesh and blood" is one of the solutions they thought of.
[Unfortunately, this alone is far from enough. ]
I witnessed with my own eyes how the corpses participating in the experiment "grew" flesh and skin bit by bit.
Li Hao just shook his head silently.
The skeleton people really worked hard to strengthen themselves.
Not only the flesh and skin, but even the internal organs and blood circulation are simulated - although they are fake.
But this is where the problem arises.
Do the skeletons really need, or is it necessary, to restore the biological structure exactly as it is? For the skeletons, the existence of flesh and blood is not a necessary organization to maintain life, but rather more like armor to strengthen themselves.
Well, since it is armor, there is no need to consider so many additional functions and attributes.
[It seems necessary to remind you...]
With some interest, Li Hao chose to use his own will to interfere with the experiments of the corpse people.
This was the method that Li Hao had used to enlighten Ba Lian, allowing him to become his agent and advance to the level of a wilderness prophet - enlightenment.
Although these skeletons are not prophets, nor do they have the potential to become prophets.
But when Li Hao selectively instilled some of his ideas into their brains, something called "inspiration" appeared.
The more intelligent and sensitive a creature is, the more likely it is to capture fleeting inspiration and then transform it into reality bit by bit.
This is a way for gods to interfere with the world, and it is also the way most gods communicate with mortal beings.

At the same time, directly south of the Central Plains.
This is where the Sky City fell and where the dragon-headed giant rests.
Ever since the dragon-headed giant saved the world from collapse and supported the rising sun, endless fog and strong winds have shrouded this area.
However, this is an area where life is almost extinct.
On the outskirts stands an extremely special city - the City of Torture.
This is a city built on the edge of fog and storm, and its internal architectural layout and style are almost identical to those of the City of Bones.
The only difference between the two is that there are only a small number of skeletons living here.
Because the City of Punishment is not a normal city, but a city of exile used by the skeleton people to exile those of their kind who have committed "unforgivable sins".
——Disobeying the Creator! ——Harming fellow races! ——Believing in heretical evil gods! Only those who have committed these three "unforgivable sins" will be exiled to this barren land far away from the normal ecological environment.
Of course, since it is a city used to exile criminals, there is naturally no normal order.
The lord of this city is Ake, the first person to ascend to godhood among the Skeleton People, a second-generation Skeleton People who was exiled for stealing the remains of the Holy King.
Under Ake's governance, the only rule in the City of Death is "no death".
Other than that, no matter what you do, Ake won't care.
It was under such circumstances that Mang Qi was a prisoner who was taken to the City of Punishment to be punished.
Just like the vast majority of criminals who were taken to the City of Punishment, Mang Qi was also a born manic.
As we all know, the Skeleton People are a race created because of the Day of Sin.
Under the Storm Chain's ability to purify evil, the Skeleton People born in the Mountain and Sea Realm have basically gotten rid of the violence and hatred of the original Skeleton People.
However, there are always special circumstances in this world.
Especially when the number of skeletons becomes increasingly large, there will always be some special individuals who return to their ancestors and inherit the violent side of the original skeletons.
In fact, the vast majority of the skeletons exiled to the City of Punishment were these atavistic individuals.
But it is different from ordinary atavistic individuals.
Although Mang Qi is violent by nature, he has never hurt other people due to losing control of his emotions.
Every time it "loses control", it is to cover up its deeper purpose.
From Li Hao's perspective, Mang Qi is simply a born villain.
Violence is merely an appearance it displays, and its essence is to use this appearance to pursue its established interests.
In the group of simple and selfless skeletons, this is the real outlier.
For example, the reason why Mang Qi was finally taken to the City of Punishment.
It was because Gu Ming had foreseen the darkness in its heart in advance that he caught it and several of its companions red-handed when it was "out of control".
——Using the cover of losing control and running wild, he took the opportunity to steal the property of other skeletons.
This was Mang Qi's crime, and it was also an important reason why the other people in the City of Death were particularly wary of him.
A city of tortured corpses is no match for a city of bones.
Apart from the fact that no one can die, there is no such thing as protecting personal property here.
“Damn it!”
"If we continue like this, we will be demolished by those crazy people sooner or later!"
As the leader of the small group, Mang Yi couldn't help but complain again after noticing the hostile looks of the nearby skeleton people.
Perhaps it was because of the influence of Mang Qi.
Although the other six people in the small group are not born manic, they also have selfish desires and greed that are incompatible with ordinary skeletons.
"What should we do? We can't escape!"
With a helpless sigh, Mang San, the most rational person in the group, whispered.
Although the City of Punishment is a city of exile, the people responsible for guarding this city are genuine second-generation skeletons.
Not to mention his own small team, even if the whole city's manic people rioted together, they would be easily suppressed by those perverts.
After all, mania does not mean fighting power.
The huge gap between the second-generation skeletons and ordinary skeletons cannot be made up by anger.
