Intersellar world Shen Yu's brow furrowed ever so slightly, but he had to admit that the suggestion from his original self, Shen Yu, was exactly what he was most worried about right now.

However, the risks present with the Goddess of Hope truly needed thorough consideration.

"If we want to strengthen the Goddess of Hope, or enhance her defenses, I might not have enough Gray Mist over here." Intersellar world Shen Yu was a bit concerned about this.

The main reason was that he no longer had any incoming Gray Mist.

Although the threat from the Void Spirit Race had been temporarily eliminated, granting Intersellar world Shen Yu a huge amount of Gray Mist, the consumption over this period had also been astonishingly high.

It had already been estimated before: whether it was to enhance the Interstellar Goddess or simply reinforce her defenses, the amount of Gray Mist required was immense.

"If we really intend to strengthen her, the best way is still our artifact spirit route." Cultivator Shen Yu couldn't help but say.

He even directly offered a special cultivation technique from the Star River Immortal Sect.

Its name: Star River Spirit Nurturing.

That's right, it is precisely a scripture for refining and nurturing entities with spirituality.

In this Immortal Cultivation World, some magical treasures not only possess self-awareness, but can even cultivate and grow stronger.

Truly limitless potential.

For example, the Golden Treasure Pavilion that Cultivator Shen Yu now resided in was itself a magical treasure with its own consciousness.

Brought from the headquarters as the Star River Immortal Sect's Treasure of the Sect, this magical treasure's power already exceeded the Earth Immortal level.

It had reached the True Immortal!

This was something Cultivator Shen Yu had only discovered recently.

Of course, as a magical treasure, although it wielded True Immortal-level deterrence, compared to an actual True Immortal, there was still a gap—that was the limitation of magical treasures.

However, when paired with a cultivator, magical treasures could achieve an effect far greater than the sum of their parts.

For a cultivator, having a magical treasure or not—or if the magical treasure's power is weak—created a vast difference in strength, nothing short of heaven and earth apart.

Still, these things weren't so important to Intersellar world Shen Yu.

What concerned him the most, what he worried about the most, was always one thing—loyalty and control.

For Interstellar Human Civilization at this moment, the Goddess of Hope was simply too important.

And Intersellar world Shen Yu simply couldn't estimate what would happen if AI, already incredibly powerful, truly broke free from the shackles of artificial life, gained real self-awareness, and even acquired tremendous strength.

Would it still be the most loyal helper of human civilization?

If the AI rebelled, the consequences would only be more severe.

So, at this moment, Intersellar world Shen Yu picked up the "Spirit Nurturing Scripture" first and started reading it carefully.

There was no denying that, as one of the core foundations of the Star River Immortal Sect, this scripture was indeed immensely powerful.

The loyalty issue that worried Intersellar world Shen Yu the most—there was, of course, a solution in this scripture.

Simply put, when spirituality takes shape, you first split off a portion of your own Primordial Spirit, soul, or consciousness and fuse it into it.

This not only secures control over the magical treasure, but also makes its use much easier.

It's like having a powerful entity with its own awareness, yet still a part of your divine body.

Although Intersellar world Shen Yu wasn't sure whether this Spirit Nurturing and Refining Method would have the same effect when applied to AI,

after carefully examining it, an idea slowly formed in his mind.

"When I get back, I'll give this some serious thought." Intersellar world Shen Yu was clearly resolved. "Even if something goes wrong, I still have Gray Mist."

Gray Mist would be the ultimate backup.

Using it as a safety net during the process was far better than waiting for a real problem and relying on Gray Mist as the only solution—the consumption would be much less.

"Then let's look forward to it." Shen Yu and the other four Shen Yus all shared the same expectations.

After all, with the current integration and research of extraordinary technologies across the worlds, AI's role was enormous.

An upgraded Goddess of Hope was something every Shen Yu anticipated.

With that, the short meeting came to an end.

Now, the victory in the Magic World had drastically relieved the Association's pressure; as for the three worlds still under apocalyptic threat, though the situation was complex, there wasn't any immediate crisis right now.

Their main focus now was on development.

Shen Yu also planned to open up new Parallel Universes, while Cultivator Shen Yu's urgent task was to perfect his own cultivation and organize enough force to sweep the world of Demon Cultivators, earning more Gray Mist.

As for Intersellar world Shen Yu, he wasted no time after the Association meeting ended.

He began preparations for the Goddess of Hope's evolution.

But before that, he suddenly thought of something and directly activated Gray Mist to ask—

"Has any unknown attack already infiltrated the Goddess of Hope?"

This was the second time he'd asked this question in recent days.

The last time he'd asked was already half a month ago.

Answering such a question required a full scan of the Goddess of Hope, even the deepest core data, which consumed a significant amount of resources.

So, Intersellar world Shen Yu couldn't ask frequently.

And last time, the answer he got was no.

But this time…

The answer from Gray Mist made Intersellar world Shen Yu's heart skip a beat.

[Yes]

A short response.

But it signaled a completely different situation!

The Goddess of Hope had actually been infiltrated!

The enemy hadn't ignored them; they had launched another attack, and even managed it without detection!
