Chapter 851: Earthen Dual Body
When he took his Holo-Brain out.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised as he looked down at the device.
How did I take this out of my Inventory Bag?
Is this a hint from the worldâs will?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan tried releasing his inner sight.
Unfortunately, his inner sight still couldnât be released, it could still only linger in his Thought Sea.
Gu Qing Shan didnât feel disappointed and changed his line of thought.
Since I got this hint, does that mean I would be able to take out more things from my Thought Sea?
He tried using his inner sight to take out other things.
After trying every supernatural item, they were still stuck inside.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at his Holo-Brain.
From the Earth Worldâs rules, this technological-type item doesnât count as supernatural.
The Holo-Brain doesnât contain any special powers, it perfectly fits the development cycle of this worldâs technology, if only a lot more advanced.
Do I have other technological-type items?
Gu Qing Shan searched his Thought Sea again.
After a while, he gave up.
As a high-realm cultivator, besides his personal Holo-Brain, he did not carry anything that a normal person would be able to get their hands on.
He couldnât even take out cultivation pills of the lowest level.
Not even the seafood he caught from the Chaos Demonic Sea.
Calming back down, Gu Qing Shan turned his Holo-Brain on.
Bang!
The Holo-Brain suddenly broke into pieces.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the remains of the Holo-Brain in shock.
So I canât even use a Holo-Brain.
But if thatâs the case, why was I able to take it out?
He was stunned briefly before he realized what happened.
âWhat is that?â old Li asked.
âMy personal processorâ Gu Qing Shan carefully collected the pieces of the Holo-Brain and put it on the table.
He picked out the various things from the broken device, like the memory unit, the AI system module, the information reserve center and various other intact components.
âNiceâ
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The only things that broke were the chassis and other unimportant components.
The true core of the device was still all here.
These components didnât contain any supernatural power, and they were already broken once, so they were allowed to remain on the Earth World.
From this, it can be seen that the Earth Worldâs will was purposefully not doing its best.
On the premise that it doesnât break its own rules, the worldâs will was helping him.
Or rather, it was helping itself.
Gu Qing Shan quickly operated the repair interface to pick out a few more components from the reserve.
He was building a new Holo-Brain.
Built with components that came from this world, the new Holo-Brain shouldnât be broken by the Earth Worldâs rules.
A few moments later, the new Holo-Brain finished being assembled.
âTurn onâ Gu Qing Shan gave the order.
The Holo-Brain lit up.
Success!
Gu Qing Shan now thoroughly understood.
The Earth Worldâs will placed such strict Laws on this world in order to protect itself.
Right now, Iâm technically breaking its rules, but since my goal was to help it, itâs helping me avoid those Laws.
Hah.
Sure enough, to get to that level, thereâs no way someone would be dumb or inflexible.
Gu Qing Shan discarded those thoughts and quickly resumed his work.
âRecord new languageâ Gu Qing Shan told the Holo-Brain.
[Preparing to record] the Holo-Brain answered.
Gu Qing Shan first pronounced the 36 core phonetic syllables, then moved on to character, words, then phrases, taking a total of 10 minutes of reading aloud.
[Analyzing new language, reconstructing user interface]
âVery good. Now Iâm going to connect you to the Mechâs information network and recharging cord. You need to decipher the code and attempt to connect to this worldâs networkâ
[Holo-Brain has been prepared, please connect to network port]
[Connection successful, begin deciphering password]
[Password encryption is relatively primitive, decryption successful in 20 seconds]
[Connected to network, please state the next order of business]
Gu Qing Shan turned towards the blond man: âI remember you said that the Mech research center is in the outskirts of the capital?â
âYeah, not too far from hereâ the blond man replied.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and muttered: âTime is precious, letâs just finish the plan firstâ
He ordered the Holo-Brain: âInvade and take over the Mech research centerâs network. Use the 21 Mech schematics I stored in the system, select a close-ranged Mech and look for the appropriate materials to construct themâ
[Understood]
[Selected suitable schematic]
[Taking over the Mech research center. Concealing all traces. Turning off all security cameras. Constructing assault-type Mech]
[Construction has begun, please wait for 7 minutes]
[Construction complete]
[Assault-type Mech has been created]
Gu Qing Shan then ordered: âPerform specifications testâ
[Sir, which test should we run?]
âReal combatâ
[Understood]
Around 7-8 minutes later.
[Reporting sir, combat is over]
âWhat are the results?â
[All undead eliminated]
âHm, thatâs normalâ
Please, in my homeworld, technology is several dozen times more advanced than this world, Iâm a world-class expert in this field, AND I have this worldâs Creator behind me. If I still couldnât make a usable Mech this way, I might have had to commit suicide to say sorry to myself.
Now, for the most important matter.
âTake over the entire worldâs network, begin mass-production of Assault-type Mechs in all research centers all over the worldâ
âTo prevent chaos, prepare a world-wide live broadcast to be aired in 1 minute, Iâm going to tell them whatâs going to happenâ
[Understood]
Gu Qing Shan paused, then turned towards the blond man and old Li: âPrepare to go on TVâ
Old Li pulled a comb out of somewhere and hurriedly fixed his hair.
The blond man was also nervous: âWe donât have to go on TV, right?â
âYou do, because machines cannot escape from human control, otherwise an issue will arise, and this worldâs technology isnât well-equipped enough to deal with such an issue. So from now on, this worldâs Mechs will fall under your controlâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âBut we didnât do anythingâ the blond man said.
âYou helped me. Consider this a token of my appreciationâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
One minute later.
In front of every screen in the world.
Gu Qing Shan appeared and made his statement.
[Everyone, please remember today]
[The darkness had passed, and the age of Mechs have arrived]
After Gu Qing Shan finished his world-wide TV statement, he found himself no longer on the Earth World, instead standing in front of a boundless surging flow of grey liquid.
âIâve only been in there for 2 days, right?â
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
The giantâs chuckle could be heard from the grey flow of liquid.
ă Or did you want to crown yourself king in my world? ăhe asked.
âNo, I only came to face my Tribulationâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
A giant face appeared from the grey flow of liquid right in front of Gu Qing Shan.
ă How did you come up with creating machines to resolve the threat? ăthe giant asked with an echoing voice.
âKnowledge can change oneâs fate and future, the technology can change oneâs life. This is my expertiseâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
ă You seem to have a lot of expertise ăthe giant commented.
âOnly Mechs and cooking, there is nothing elseâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
ă Very well, cultivator, I will consider you to have passed the Earth Tribulation because most likely, no one would be able to kill you from this point onwards ă
âThank you, venerable oneâ
ă Since you already helped me, in accordance with our agreement, I shall bestow you a gift. But since you are much too weak, I can only grant you something in the manner that you can accept ă
âI thank you againâ
ă You may leave, when you return to where you belong, you will find that little gift of mine ă
âWait a minute, I have something I want to askâ
Oom!!!!
The intense surging grey flow of liquid and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan lost consciousness.
When he abruptly awoke again, he found himself standing in the middle of the wilderness.
Luo Bing Li, the figure of light and the God of Frost and Chill were still standing guard for him.
âHow regretful, I still wanted to ask about the Soul Shriekerâ Gu Qing Shan muttered dejectedly.
In front of his eyes, lines of blood-red text quickly scrolled past.
[Youâve passed the Earth, Water, Fire and Wind Quad Tribulation]
[You have become a Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivator]
[Your Quest: âAdvance, young man!â has been completed]
[You obtained the following reward: the Orderâs continual evolution]
[The Demon King Order will soon evolve, the next stage shall be: Revolution]
[Before that, please draw another Card for your Condemnation deck]
[As you gave up on drawing the Card for Void Revolution realm, you may choose one of five randomly drawn cards and obtain it]
[Special reminder:]
[World-class Entity: the Earth Creator has bestowed a gift upon you]
[Its gift will participate in this drawing together with other Cards]
Cards began to appear on the [Origin] UI one after another.
Gu Qing Shan glanced over all the Cards before finally setting his eyes on one that was giving off a golden glow.
The Card depicted a pair of intertwining snakes that were descending upwards.
A few lines of description were written below the card:
[Gold Card: Earthen Dual Body]
[When you use this Card, you will take control over the body of another entity, regardless, if the other party is a living being, a non-living being or an Eternal being]
[Note: This is the Earth Creatorâs gift to you, it is the powerful guardian of the Law of the Earth]
[Considering that using this power too frequently will draw the attention of the Earth Creatorâs enemies, the Earth Creator only granted you one use of this power]
[The power of the Earth Saint Pillar shall protect you]
After reading through, Gu Qing Shan didnât even bother looking at the other cards and said without hesitation: âI choose this Card!â
