Chapter 602 High Dimensional Module: Artificial True God
"No privileges...?"
Yao Xin certainly would not understand Herbis's words "no privileges" as meaning that the gods would become ordinary mortals.
The "privilege" that Herbis mentioned refers more to the innate majesty and unique qualities of the gods.
For the vast majority of gods who have long been accustomed to being high and mighty, this kind of degradation of status and life level is even more painful than killing them directly.
"You just said that the Calamity Realm preys on gods, so how dare you call me over?"
It wasn't a question; Yao Xin was simply confused.
"The Scourge Realm is only interested in true gods, or demigods that are already in the process of transformation..."
"For a person like you who can't even be called an incarnation, the Calamity Realm won't care about your existence at all."
He shook his head decisively to express denial. Herbis didn't want Yao Xin to think of him as the kind of scapegoat who liked to drag his teammates into trouble.
"Wait...you said the Scourge is also interested in the transforming demigod?"
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and Yao Xin suddenly asked in an extremely cautious tone.
"yes!"
"The attraction of a demigod who is undergoing transformation to the Calamity World is second only to a true god like me who has no idea of the immensity of the world."
Before he finished speaking, Herbis suddenly reacted and opened his mouth in surprise.
"No way? There is a demigod in the process of transformation in this city?"
"That's impossible! I scanned the city before I came here, and the one closest to transformation is this guy!"
Pointing at Kang Tao who still didn't know what the two sides were talking about, Herbis was very sure that his judgment was correct.
At the moment, this corpse man might be the strongest in the entire [Sky City].
But it definitely did not reach the end of the [Long Stairway to Godhood] and touch the transformation of the essence of life.
Otherwise, he would never dare to show up in the [Sky City] rashly and ask Kang Tao and others to help him summon Yao Xin.
"Since you have scanned the entire city in advance, don't you find that the structure of this city has a sense of déjà vu?"
After Yao Xin said this, Herbis fell silent again.
"This city itself... is a demigod in the process of transformation!"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
[Castle in the Sky] is the final product of the mountain and sea civilization integrating all its own technologies.
Although on the surface those sky cities are just cities floating in the air, their essence has surpassed the cognition of ordinary civilization.
Distort time and space to form a time and space barrier at the outermost edge of the city that can isolate it from the outside world.
This is the basis for the Sky City to ensure its independence and be able to travel freely to the [Ascension Zone].
Within the space-time barrier, the Sky City is divided into several major areas according to their functions, corresponding to the energy area, research area, weapons area, material area, ecological area, and the central altar area.
These different areas have different functions and house different facilities, which basically ensure that the Sky City can be self-sufficient in any extremely harsh environment.
Considering that today's mountain and sea civilization has already mastered space technology, the actual area of the sky city is much larger than it appears to outsiders.
Not to mention the areas with different functions.
Even developing a completely new ecosystem from scratch is not impossible.
Growing food, domesticating livestock, and even building civilization...
In fact, each city in the sky can be regarded as a spark of mountain and sea civilization - a spark that can give birth to mountain and sea civilization again.
However, even so, the designers who designed the original plan of "Castle in the Sky" were still worried that their design would have flaws and errors.
After all, this is the ultimate weapon of the Shanhai Civilization, and its importance is equivalent to nuclear weapons to human civilization.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the mountain and sea civilization version of Noah's Ark or space colony ship.
Under this assumption and premise, the Shanhai Civilization's design for the "Sky City" was extremely demanding to an unprecedented degree.
Therefore, the Shanhai Civilization referred to the [autonomous machinery] of the cave-dwelling worm civilization and the [artificial intelligence] technology of the intelligent life form, and designed the entire [Sky City] into a multi-module structure that can be freely combined and deformed.
Here, we have to mention the "living city" in Shanhaijie today - Yaojing.
It was a legendary city created by cave-dwelling worms under unexpected circumstances in order to integrate into the mountain and sea civilization.
The entire city is made up of countless nanoworms, which can automatically generate various buildings and modular structures according to the will of the city residents.
Considering that this technology is so convenient, quite a few cities in the Mountain and Sea Realm have also adopted similar technology.
In the design drawings of version 724.951 of "Castle in the Sky", a similar modular structure that can be freely combined was designed based on the structure of Yaojing.
Here, the reason why the Shanhai civilization did not adopt the more convenient and efficient nanoworm structure.
This is because when the designers designed the "Castle in the Sky", their ambition was far more than just replicating a "living city".
Those modules that can be combined at will are themselves high-dimensional modules that imitate those made by gods.
The origin of this high-dimensional modularity is complex.
It not only uses the dimensional expansion technology from the Mithraic world, but also refers to the "dragon-shaped beings" of the Pandora world and the "seven-headed and ten-horned great red dragon" of the life world.
From this perspective, each high-dimensional module that constitutes the city in the sky is essentially an "artificial god."
However, these "artificial gods" are not like Unit-01 and Tendo, which are combat sequences created purely for combat.
Their existence is more to restore the power and essence of gods.
Therefore, when the "Castle in the Sky" project officially moved from the blueprint to reality, "living cities" modeled after the structures of gods appeared.
Compared to combat-type weapons like the Evangelion Unit-01 and the Tendo, the Castle in the Sky, which is composed of multiple "artificial god" modules, is closer to the essence of God.
This is also an important reason why Yao Xin said that the Sky City is a "demigod" that is undergoing transformation.
In fact, Yao Xin's statement is already humble enough.
Apart from not daring to hand over the control of the entire sky city to the artificial intelligence system, these cities themselves can be seen as true gods of reduced dimensions.
If Herbis's information was correct, the attraction of the Sky City to the Calamity World might be even higher than that of an ordinary true god.
Because the Sky City is both an unknown concept and a true god of reduced dimensions, and it can also be seen as a demigod in the process of transformation...
No matter from which angle you look at it, the City in the Sky perfectly fits the various "preferences" that the Scourge Realm has shown in the past.
