Chapter 473: Chapter 5: Desire

The girl heard footsteps and turned her head to see Lynch, then spoke: “You came.”

Lynch walked over: “How is it, Messiah, are you accustomed to living here?”

Messiah, this is the name Lynch gave her. It was decided from the beginning when he compiled the “Divine Oracle”, the name of the Light Goddess. Now since she will descend to the Human World as the Light Goddess, naturally the name should match.

Messiah nodded and replied indifferently: “It’s okay.”

Lynch looked at the girl in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She was just like Alya before, as if crafted from the same mold, completely devoid of desires, independent thoughts, or emotional expression.

She was purely a “three-no” girl, basically like a tool; whatever Lynch said, she did.

Including her feeding fish now, which was actually just something Lynch asked her to do, feeding the Mermaid Lake Demon here every day. Originally, it was hoped to evoke some emotional colors in her, but it seems to have had little effect now.

What’s going on?

Other artificial lives, like those angels, somewhat have some thoughts and desires, not completely indifferent to everything.

Including the aloof Gabriel, though seemingly like a tool, perfectly executing Lynch’s tasks, Lynch could perceive that besides paying attention to Lynch’s orders, he was also very concerned about the completion of the mission itself.

There’s a pursuit of perfection, and this pursuit in itself is a desire, a desire to maintain one’s perfect persona, an arrogant desire.

Not to mention Lucifer, who was aggressive and fiercely competitive, with a strong desire for expression.

But with Messiah before him now, Lynch still hasn’t discovered any interest she has. Lynch created her, she seemed to have a body with a soul but still like that puppet.

Though Lynch didn’t intend for his creations to have too much personal desire, they shouldn’t be completely desire-less, right?

Appetite, sexual desire, survival instinct…

Delicious food, attractive people, beautiful clothing, powerful Strength, eternal life…

Even a small cell knows to pursue energy to grow, while a mighty Fifth-rank Life searches endlessly on the eternal path.

Having desire leads to pursuit, and pursuit drives the motivation for self-improvement.

From Lynch’s perspective, all life is driven forward by various desires of different sizes as fuel; something completely without desire is a stone or a tool, making their creation no different from making some golems.

No way.

This issue needs resolving…

Out of all the bodies created, Messiah before him has the highest adaptability to the Power of Faith, completely customized for fusion with it.

Although Lynch hasn’t performed the fusion of the Power of Faith on her yet, preliminary calculations indicate she can certainly fully bear all the Power of Faith. After all, her design was initially calibrated for Third-tier Life.

A created Third-tier Life can help Lynch handle many tasks, but the premise is that it’s a normal life form; if there’s no subjective consciousness at all…

Eating requires Lynch’s command for her to move; without orders, she would just sit there all day, and if ever faced with a combat situation, Lynch suspects that without his command, she might not react at all and just stand there taking hits…

Thinking it over, Lynch spoke: “From now on, you will stay by my side.”

Originally, the plan was to leave her alone and see if she could develop and learn on her own, but now it appears that isn’t ideal; better to keep her close and teach her slowly.

Such a creation took considerable effort to make, so it’s not possible to simply destroy her, right?

Moreover, her Soul Essence was already mostly consumed, lacking this primary material means Lynch can’t reforge her now.

“Yes.”

Messiah immediately put down the fish feed and stood up.

Lynch decided to take her to live in the Human World for a period, starting from the basics of clothing, food, and shelter to let her taste the myriad flavors of the world, thereby igniting desire deep within.

Tasting various delicacies, wearing various beautiful clothes, experiencing the colorful world, even experimenting with romantic love if necessary…

Whether due to wandering too long in the river of Time or spending too much time on magic research, Lynch found his worldview to differ greatly from when he was a normal human, his perspective on issues quite different.

Take something like the special physical activity between men and women; he himself wouldn’t be driven by lust to find someone for desire release, but if it’s necessary for magic research, he could calmly invite a pair or even multiple pairs to exercise before him, meticulously recording the process for desired parameters and biological samples.

Looking through a human lens, Lynch sees it as twisted, but through a wizard’s lens, he sees no issue in it, as it’s solely for gaining more knowledge, for magic’s sake.

In many wizards’ eyes, humans are merely biological samples to acquire knowledge, akin to many life forms on an experimental bench.

Of course,

Lynch wouldn’t indulge in overly twisted and distorted experiments, firstly because his knowledge quest hasn’t reached that level; more importantly, these things are expressly prohibited by the Supreme Council, and he couldn’t afford to ruin his cleared reputation by self-entangling.

In summary,

What constrains his worldview now, apart from his curiosity, are the rules of the Supreme Council. When one day he gains the power to defy the Supreme Council… what would happen then remains unknown.

Lynch glanced up and down at Messiah before him, then said: “Wait here for me.”

Since she is heading to the Human World, she certainly can’t be in this current image; not to mention, in the civilized world, she can’t walk the streets naked, not knowing what commotion that would cause.

After giving orders, Lynch vanished in a Flash from where he stood.

Upon reappearing, he was already in the bustling market of Feiyan City, a designated space coordinate by him.

Invisible, nobody noticed his sudden appearance.

He walked to a nearby alley, first altered his appearance, then removed invisibility and exited the alley, heading straight into a tailor shop nearby…
