Chapter 251 Soul Cultivation System
Chen Xingzhi held the crow in one hand and drew the Contemplation of the Ascending Mysterious Realm with the other hand. Using the huge gravitational effect provided by the two dimensions of virtuality and dreamland, he opened a compressed space passage to the world A014.
Although he mainly relies on the virtual path to travel through the world in the Sea of Origin, this world is obviously an exception.
World No. A014 is not within the Sea of Origin. It is a world recorded by a reincarnation member of the Executive Department when he was conducting a trial mission. It is also a bit far away from the Sea of Origin.
In order to reduce the time spent going back and forth, he could only use this method.
The time it took to cross the void was infinitely shortened. Chen Xingzhi and his crow just shook their heads and left the completely empty space passage and arrived at the target world.
"This world gives me a strange feeling, as if there are things peeping at me everywhere."
As an incomplete fifth-level existence, Crow's perception is very sensitive, and he felt something was wrong as soon as he arrived in the new world.
Chen Xingzhi first fixed the current situation of himself and the crow, and isolated the tiny substances from the outside world that were waiting for opportunities to enter their bodies, and then explained:
"Your feeling is correct. There are indeed countless tiny intelligent beings around us. I call them 'gray goos'."
These gray goos that roam around the world don't seem to have any ill intentions toward them, but are just constantly releasing signals of curiosity.
But even so, Chen Xingzhi still did not relax his vigilance.
You know, they were not so well-behaved when they first gained vague consciousness.
When the R&D Department first gave them a vague collective consciousness in this world, it didn't take long for them to completely lose control.
The outposts were devoured and turned into a part of them. Even the natives of this world were affected by the disaster of pond fish, and countless people were decomposed by the rioting gray goo.
If it weren't for the strict restrictions imposed by the bottom-level orders, I'm afraid even the company would have to include some people.
Since then, people in the R&D department have never dared to give collective consciousness to nanorobots, for fear of causing another "grey storm."
"Assimilate all things, infinitely replicate, and have amazing learning and evolutionary abilities. There is no doubt that this is a dangerous life."
Crow stared at the air in front of him, taking in all the tiny nanobots.
"What did you come to this world to do?"
"Investigate the cause of the gray goo riot at that time, and see if we can take over this world again."
When he was looking through this file, he always felt that there was something strange about the gray goo losing control at that time. However, he was still in another mission world when the riot occurred and had not yet reached level five, so he missed this incident.
"Leave this place first and find where the nanofactory is."
Nanofactories are the consciousness center of nanorobots and their most important part.
Not only is their lifeblood there, it also stores a large amount of data and information. Maybe he can find the part he needs in it.
Chen Xingzhi was about to leave the deep mountains and old forests where he was, when he suddenly felt like he was being spied on.
Different from the curious gazes of the previous nanobots, this peeping gaze was full of malice. The two were obviously different and belonged to the same will.
He was hanging in the air, turned his head and looked at the land he just stepped on from the corner of his eye, and asked:
"Were you spying on me just now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he blasted a "Thunder and Heaven and Earth Shattering" towards the ground.
The magnetic field rotates rapidly, being hijacked and turned into his power, which acts on the earth.
There was no smoke, no landslides, just silence.
The power of "Thunder and Heaven and Earth Shattering" was guided by him and turned into an electromagnetic pulse that covered the entire mountain range, paralyzing all the nanomachines disguised as every plant, tree, stone and gravel.
The malicious peeps disappeared, and after this battle, he discovered that there seemed to be two completely different consciousnesses in the nanomachine cluster.
Perhaps, the consciousness full of malice toward him was the culprit that caused Gray Goo to lose control.
Chen Xingzhi stopped staying. He held the crow, sneaked into the gap between dimensions, and rushed towards the outpost in his memory.
"The surface of this world seems to have been completely assimilated." Crow reminded.
"I know that this is the inevitable result of allowing nanomachines to act at will."
He was not surprised by this result, but he was just curious about how the indigenous people of this world were doing now.
According to Huanyu Technology's internal records, this world originally had an energy level of three and the mainstream extraordinary system was called "Soul Cultivation". As the name suggests, it is a training system that specializes in soul training.
The extraordinary beings in this world are not physically strong, but their souls and spirits are strong. Some of them even have strong soul cultivators who abandon their bodies and rely on their souls to survive in the world.
"Could it be that some powerful soul cultivators invaded and controlled the nanomachine clusters, causing them to lose control?" Chen Xingzhi naturally thought of this. "It's possible. After all, gray goo is easy to control. Even I can invade at will."
The crow controlled part of the gray goo and shaped it at will in front of it.
Chen Xingzhi explained: "This is only the first generation of nanorobots. It is not perfect in all aspects. Later upgraded versions will be difficult to invade."
One person and one bird walked and discussed, and soon arrived at their target location.
Where there was originally an outpost of Huanyu Technology, now there is only a large pit left. The pit has been covered with vegetation, and there is no trace of the former outpost at all.
"Everything here has been swallowed up by nanobots."
Whether it was the underground base or the buildings on the surface, everything disappeared without a trace.
"Those nanorobots have moved their core factories to other places. Why not first find out if there are any indigenous people in this world." Crow suggested.
Chen Xingzhi had already had this intention, and was about to leave when he realized something was peeping at him.
Different from the previous two peeks, this one had a strong sense of calculation, which made him feel very unhappy.
"The local natives are so rude. Everyone thinks I'm a soft persimmon, right?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The other party was planning on him, so he was going to pretend that he didn't notice anything, and immediately jumped out of the gap in the dimension, and solidified the surrounding status quo with his backhand.
The object that was solidified naturally included the consciousness that wanted to plot against him.
"Senior, spare your life!"
The nanorobot disguised as soil tried to take off its disguise and turn into a human form, but was blocked by an unknown force and was unable to achieve its goal.
With no choice, he could only make a request to Chen Xingzhi.
"Senior, can you take away your magical powers and allow me to show my true colors and apologize to you?"
Chen Xingzhi nodded slightly, loosening the solidified power of the status quo, allowing the nanorobots to condense and take shape.
A vigorous old man in purple robe appeared in front of Chen Xingzhi. He performed a unique etiquette in this world and said respectfully:
"Lihun School, Zhao Zicheng, I have met the senior."
"Now I know how to lower my head. Why didn't I see you like this just now?" Chen Xingzhi glanced at him, making him so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head.
"Tell me, why did you plot against me just now, and what did you want to plot against me?"
"Senior is wronged. I never thought of plotting against senior."
Zhao Zicheng's tone was very sincere, but Chen Xingzhi didn't believe what he said.
As the saying goes, people become better with age. This bad old man who calls himself Zhao Zicheng is already in the fourth level. He has been alive for who knows how long. A word from a person like this cannot be trusted.
"Do you really think I will believe you?"
As he spoke, the invisible spiritual energy traced back along Zhao Zicheng's consciousness to the core factory of the nanorobot cluster he controlled.
Chen Xingzhi had already begun to invade this core factory and dig out all the information he wanted to hide, but the person involved was unaware of it.
"You saw my identity as an outsider and wanted to use my hand to leave this world. Am I right?"
Chen Xingzhi and the crow on his shoulder showed half-smiling expressions at the same time, which made Zhao Zicheng's scalp numb.
He quickly shook his head and tried to quibble, but suddenly found that he had lost control of the gray goo.
"It's surprising, isn't it? Your core factory has been controlled by me. If you don't want me to activate the backup hidden energy, just be honest and do as I say."
Facing Chen Xingzhi, who held his own backup hidden energy switch, Zhao Zicheng wanted to cry without tears.
"How can this outsider be so aggressive? Isn't it true that they are all weak?"
He was madly cursing the person who published the false news, and expertly pulled a flattering smile on his face.
That way, he looks like a leader.
