Chapter 1736: Chapter 551: Artificial Soul

Although strictly speaking, this is not really a soul. If a true soul is a master’s painting, then these at most can be considered as raw materials for making paint.

At most, they’re soul fragment aggregates.

But there is no doubt that this method indeed birthed a kind of mimicked Spiritual Wisdom, and there’s a tendency for souls to be born!

It’s just that because the gathered soul is completely an unknown aggregate, it fundamentally lacks any intelligence or thought, causing it to move around erratically.

After all, in a sense right now, this mechanical soul isn’t even controlling the body but has been continually outputting meaningless garbled commands.

It feels very much like rolling your face on a keyboard in a game, causing the game character to twitch randomly under control.

This "Sequence Divine Envoy" was just undergoing tests; all the attack modules had been removed in advance. Otherwise, it might have already turned the surroundings into chaos.

Curiously walking around this machine a few times, constantly sizing it up from a high-dimensional perspective, Bai Yi clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Amazing, to actually rely on the Power of Faith and reverse-engineer a soul...

How did you come up with this modification? You just returned to the research for a few hours, didn’t you?"

In just a few hours, you managed to accomplish such a significant task?

Bai Yi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Fei, the meaning in his gaze was very clear.

Only a little over two hours passed since returning to the lab, and normally, you’d not even have thought of it, much less be able to research it in such a short time.

"Haha, this was actually a development direction of mine in the past.

Unfortunately, there was no Mind Divine Technique to refer to back then, and since the Church wasn’t adept in Spiritual Ability, we didn’t collect much knowledge from Telekinesis Masters.

We were completely blank regarding souls and minds.

At the time, before I came here, that technology was still stuck in data and theory, without a single successful test result.

But after arriving here, I discovered our research in soul and spirit, which allowed me to preliminarily perfect my initial idea and create this thing.

It’s just that as a First Generation version now, its intelligence might still be a bit rudimentary..."

Fei looked at the mechanically moving object at her feet, embarrassed, scratched her head, and said.

After removing her inventor’s filter for this machine, the intelligence it displays today is open to debate, if it could even be called "intelligence."

She couldn’t see the soul, but she could determine that this machine was absolutely abnormal.

Bai Yi’s mouth twitched, this statement could only be considered rather mild.

"Indeed, for a Combat Unit, the current level of intelligence holds no significant value.

Applying it to mechanical and Magic Puppets, it would be better to directly use artificial intelligence from the mechanical side or an intelligent core from the Magic Side on the body.

And if applied to my Tree-men..."

Without Bai Yi finishing his sentence, Fei’s expression fell.

The Tree-men themselves are directly controlled by Bai Yi and the network, which is equivalent to them already having intelligence.

Coincidentally, these Tree-men were the main targets for Bai Yi to use this "Sequence Divine Envoy" technology.

This technology was something she once developed for the Church’s genuine "Sequence Divine Envoys," and it still held considerable practical value within the Church, but in Bai Yi’s hands, the technology indeed seemed somewhat redundant.

But just as Bai Yi paused, he immediately shifted his tone, with his mouth quickly curving up:

"However, you might not realize it without the soul perspective...

If you set aside the thought of using it on ’Sequence Divine Envoys,’ you’ve might have unexpectedly created something incredible this time...

Stripping this technology itself away is worth much more than just adding intelligence to ’Sequence Divine Envoys’!"

Bai Yi raised his high arm behind Fei, wanting to pat her on the shoulder as a gesture of encouragement, but he stiffened entirely and eventually quietly moved his target slightly lower to pat her back before praising:

"This is a technology for creating souls! Even if it’s rudimentary now and very far from an actual soul, it’s a first step!

Well done!"

Receiving Bai Yi’s compliment, a trace of joy flashed across Fei’s face.

Once this technology matures, it would be equivalent to being able to actively manufacture synthetic souls!

Although her Creation could create adequate soul material, Creation’s souls are akin to her own people, which she’d rather not use if given the chance.

Moreover, Creation requires her superpower; even with all her Avatars deployed, the output is not competitive, plus it consumes her Avatars’ time.

But this technology is different now.

Even if qualified souls can’t actually be created, and only defective products are produced, it would still be favorable as it spares her the effort of erasing the awareness within a soul.

In her territory, many Creations requiring soul materials can be made uninhibited...

Well, not entirely uninhibited...

After all, this seems to necessitate a massive amount of Power of Faith, which is a scarce resource even for her now.

Currently, she has a large number of Believers, yet while bringing in considerable income, the consumption is not low, and ultimately, the retained Power of Faith is not much.

"But at least it’s a direction...

Tell me, how did you do it? This technology must be developed!"
