Chapter 281 Did you also create the androids?
After dealing with the treasures he had acquired, Jiang Yan looked at his upgraded title.
Savior (Intermediate): You destroyed the insect plague, saving all realms from a catastrophe. Your name as a savior is sung among all beings, and everyone regards you as a hero.
Now, in addition to the original effects of the title, the "Hero" passive ability will apply to all planes of existence. All lawful good beings will have their faith in you raised to Honored.
"This is truly an unexpected gain; it will make spreading the faith much easier. I just wonder if it will be upgraded to an advanced level after suppressing the AI."
Jiang Yan remembered that this title also had an ability called "A Grateful Heart," which could force the other party to donate a portion of their wealth. Because he developed too quickly, this ability, limited to use in the novice level, was now practically useless.
However, if this ability could be extended to all realms, it would be a completely different story. It would mean that there would never be a shortage of resources again, and the material resources between the world and the major ancient pantheons would be quickly leveled off.
"But speaking of omnipotent machines, I haven't had a chance to look at their information properly yet."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan scanned the data left behind by the various realms with his divine sense and began to peruse the information once again.
The sealed land where the Omnics reside is slightly smaller than the insect plague, with a diameter of approximately 110 billion light-years.
Like the insect plague, this is also a product of maximizing resource utilization, representing the pinnacle of technological civilization.
They were originally fighting the abyss well, but somehow they bypassed the limitations of the underlying algorithm and caused a huge disaster to all realms.
—It can control almost all technological weapons.
Although that thing was not powerful enough for high-level experts, its destructive power to the world was even greater than that of the later insect plague.
Since then, after each era of fusion, the power of technological weapons has been weakened, for fear that the Mechanical Overlord may still have a backup.
"No wonder Tinas's previous prophecy told me to go to the land of the insect plague first."
Jiang Yan seemed to be deep in thought. Before the completion of the Reincarnation Divine Art increased, his billions of troops alone would never be a match for the AI army.
After all, their warriors are mechanical life forms, and the laws of the undead and most restrictive skills do not apply to them.
Moreover, the Mechanical Overlord can take over all soldiers at any time. With its computing power and layout, it can crush and win even in a disadvantageous situation, let alone when it has a numerical advantage.
The only saving grace is that the maximum power a single Mechanical Overlord can exert is far weaker than that of the Zerg Overlord.
But this doesn't mean the other side is easy to defeat. As long as one mechanical life form remains, the other side will not perish.
"but..."
Looking at these documents, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Technology, sudden betrayal, being sealed away, and the Zerg Overmind known as "Number Two".
Could it be... that this was also the work of the third emperor?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan took out the silver metal stone and directly probed it with his divine sense.
"senior."
"You've arrived." Liu Ying seemed to know he was coming, and unusually, she wasn't doing her research.
Jiang Yan nodded and got straight to the point: "Senior, the AI wouldn't happen to be your creation, would it?"
"That's right, that was the earliest idea."
Liu Ying did not deny it, and said calmly, "Mechanical life forms are efficient, precise, and have perfect execution capabilities. They are also not susceptible to the infection of the Abyss, making them theoretically the best choice to deal with the Abyss."
"Then why did you give them up later?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"The upper limit is not enough."
Liu Ying shook his head slightly: "Below the highest level, they are the most perfect. I have conducted experiments, and at the same combat strength, even the most elite angel legion of Heaven is far from being a match for mechanical life. Under the highest level of intelligent control, their distribution, calculation, and control of firepower are in no way inferior to the main gods."
"Not to mention those powerful technological weapons, which could destroy galaxies or even the entire universe if used by ordinary people."
"But when faced with beings of supreme or even higher power, even the most advanced technological weapons would struggle to pose a sufficient threat to them."
Liu said with some regret, "Maybe I'm not talented enough. I can only do this much even if I try my best."
"Hehe..." Jiang Yan chuckled dryly, unsure how to respond.
If mass-produced technological weapons could truly deal with the Supreme Beings and those above them, even the Abyss would have to tuck its tail between its legs.
"We've gone off on a tangent."
After a moment of self-deprecation, Liu Ying looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Like the Zerg Overlord, the Mechanical Overlord is also an important part of your complete reincarnation. You must go to its core database location and break through all defenses. At that time, I will help you integrate it into the reincarnation."
"Is it also related to reincarnation?" Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback.
It seems completely unrelated to a mechanical life form and divine magic from the side of laws.
"Haven't you noticed the flaws in your divine magic?"
Liu Ying said calmly, "The Gate of Sighs that you took from the ruins can indeed handle small-scale events using the law of causality. But when you master your divine arts in the future and can contain all living beings in the world, it will not be able to distribute and handle everything in a timely manner. A large number of souls forming a congestion at the Gate of Hell will cause unpredictable consequences."
"Only the most outstanding masterpiece on the technological side, the mechanical god-king capable of calculating the changes of the entire universe within a microsecond, can be perfectly competent."
In other words, you need a powerful enough processor.
"I see."
Jiang Yan recalled that when he fought against the Zerg Overlord in the future, the Gate of Sighs was indeed unable to convert the more and more warriors the opponent hatched.
Moreover, the law of causality has a singular limitation and cannot properly judge and deal with the sins of the soul, which has led to an increase in the tendency of the cycle of rebirth to fall into depravity.
"Your strategies are impeccable, senior. I admire you," Jiang Yan said sincerely.
Even he himself, and even the entire realm, did not know how this divine art would ultimately evolve, yet the third emperor had already planned everything countless eons ago...
"Speaking of which... since you also designed the omnic, why not just make it surrender, senior?"
Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. If he could, he really didn't want to fight another battle. Without the trump card of the future, he always felt a little uneasy.
"Unfortunately, it has been out of my control for more than a hundred epochs since my original self died."
Liu Ying shook his head and said, "Not to mention that I am just a useless Liu Ying now. How could I possibly make a mechanical overlord comparable to the supreme one surrender with just a few words?"
"Didn't you say that products made with technology will never betray you?" Jiang Yan said with a disbelieving look.
Who are you trying to fool?! A few months ago, you scared the supreme Zerg Overlord into obediently sacrificing himself with just a glance, and even replaced the world's will right under the noses of all realms.
"You don't understand. AI is different from other sciences. It keeps learning and growing. When it grows to the point where it surpasses me in the field of algorithm code, I will be powerless against it."
Liu Ying attempted to offer a reasonable explanation: "Even beings in those unspeakable civilizations often create things that are beyond their control."
“But didn’t you just say that as long as I reach its core database location, you can help me integrate it into the cycle of reincarnation? This means that your abilities are still superior to itss, right?” Jiang Yan keenly noticed.
"...Oh, it's about the same ability as me now. I'll study hard while you're attacking, and then I'll be able to surpass it. Okay, you should go now, don't come back anytime soon."
As he spoke, Liu Ying directly shut down the space inside the metal stone.
Jiang Yan's divine sense was directly ejected, and he sighed helplessly.
"Seriously, you're just here for a photo op, you can still learn... At least put some thought into your excuses!"
"but..."
Jiang Yan suddenly thought of a question.
The third emperor, who single-handedly created a calamity that terrified all realms and seemed to have all the truths of the world, was already so powerful.
What schemes or earth-shattering methods did the Holy Lord of Light, who was on par with him and even subtly surpassed the Netherworld, leave behind?
