Chapter 441: The Great Library Hidden in the Eye
Chapter 441: The Great Library Hidden in the Eye
"Even after leaving the Material Plane, it still died from vitality loss."
Qin Muye looked at the Mad God's body. Even when it was divided, it didn't die. However, once it left the Material Plane and entered the Endless Abyss, it rotted immediately.
It rotted so quickly that Qin Muye couldn't even manage to gather samples in time; all of its biological structures were destroyed.
"The cradle refers to the Material Plane. That existence couldn't leave the cradle, so the Mad God was already dead when it entered the Material Plane. It was just being sustained by that existence, prolonging its life."
"Feels like deja vu."
He watched as the sprites cleaned up the rotten Mad God. Problems arose after they brought it back, and by the time Qin Muye arrived, it was already mostly decomposed. Now, the entire area was filled with a foul stench.
This had nothing to do with Qin Muye. This area had already simulated the ecology of the Material Plane, with no Abyssal power or any other abnormal energy. After all, as a laboratory, it had to be rigorous. Otherwise, if the environment couldn't be guaranteed, what kind of experiments could they conduct?
"Whatever, I'll just analyze the Three-Eyed Clan's technology and create another Ritual God in the Material Plane."
Qin Muye wasn't too concerned about it. After all, it wasn't a big deal. Gods weren't exactly abundant, but as long as he mastered the technology to create them, he could have as many as he wanted.
Besides, it wasn't his money.
Qin Muye viewed gods as mass-producible tools, so he had no qualms about using them.
"The only question is whether to drive the Ritual God mad. After all, the Magic God went mad when it entered the Material Plane. If that's the case, I'll have to wait a while."
He had no qualms about driving a god mad. He had already arranged for a large number of nobles to use Duke White Frost's irregularities to launch the Age of Great Nobility and the Age of Great Navigation. When they started to wage war on each other, it would ensure the collapse of rituals and order.
With his vast power as a driving force, he could also incite some priests to start religious wars. This was already happening, but it was still in its early stages, so it would take some time to ferment.
After all, making a stagnant pool of water move wasn't an easy task, especially when it involved a war with nearly a billion people. This was no simple matter.
Even if ninety-nine percent of the nobles were fools, there were always a few with real skills who would see something. Therefore, he was naturally stirring up these capable individuals.
What use would it be to incite fools? They wouldn't be able to expand the war's scope.
Playing a game with smart people required patience, but if successful, it would definitely be a massive storm.
Qin Muye then went to the R'lyeh Civilization Research Laboratory, where they had been trying to break the genetic lock on humans. The humans in this world were the degenerated descendants of the Three-Eyed Clan.
Breaking the genetic lock would mean re-evolving into the Three-Eyed Clan.
The project had been stuck at this point, so Qin Muye had to come personally.
"Speaking of breaking genetic locks, the last time I did this was with the insectoids." Qin Muye couldn't help but recall the time he broke the genetic lock on the insectoids, which had been over a decade ago.
When he exited the dungeon, the server was immediately destroyed.
Taking the experimental report and data from the sprite, it took him only a few seconds to read through the vast amount of information.
"You're making slow progress. After such a long time, you only have this much to show for it." Qin Muye wasn't entirely satisfied after reading it.
"Master, our learning and research capabilities naturally can't compare to yours," the sprite admitted without trying to defend their slow progress.
"However, this is a good sign. At least you'll have some experience for future large-scale projects. You can't spend your entire lives on small research projects. If the situation hadn't changed, your slow pace would have been fine," Qin Muye understood that if not for his unique abilities, it would have been impossible to break a civilization's genetic lock in such a short time.
This type of security measure was undoubtedly one of the most advanced technologies in any civilization.
Otherwise, the term 'lock' would be meaningless.
Qin Muye moved quickly. He had previously broken the genetic lock on the insectoid queen, obtaining the insectoid gene library.
The genetic lock on the R'lyeh Civilization's Three-Eyed Clan was quite different from that of the insectoids. Even though they were of different types, Qin Muye was able to find a breakthrough through analogy.
"Indeed, it's a completely different structure."
The genetic lock of the insectoids contained a gene library, essentially functioning as a large gene synthesis factory. However, the Three-Eyed Clan's genetic lock was more like a vast library, storing a wide array of knowledge from poetry and art to industrial technology and more.
However, the insectoid genetic lock had more diverse functions, such as permission access and self-improvement. Unlike the Three-Eyed Clan's vast library, once activated, it would fully restore the originally trimmed genes, evolving humans back into the Three-Eyed Clan. During this process, the ancestral knowledge would not be immediately released but would assist in the evolution, specifically in regrowing the third eye on the forehead.
Only after the third eye grew would the true inheritance of knowledge begin, as the knowledge in the gene library was too vast for an ordinary person to handle. The third eye served as a buffer for the brain.
The duration of this awakening process depended on the individual's strength. For ordinary people, it was quite fast, but for superhumans, it was not so certain. Superhumans and ordinary people had inherent physical differences, so the third eye that grew would need to match the physical attributes of a superhuman.
A 5th-rank superhuman couldn't grow a 1st-rank eye, even if they wanted to, as the internal cells would not allow it. Unless they could interfere with their own body like Qin Muye could.
"Decryption was successful. Next, I need to extract the knowledge from the vast library. This is quite challenging and requires further translation."
Although he had experience decrypting the insectoid gene library, the two were fundamentally different, even in their expression forms. Therefore, he couldn't simply copy the process. If he did, he would end up with a lump of rotten flesh instead of the R'lyeh Civilization's technology.
"Upon closer inspection, this civilization seems scientific, but it also seems quite unscientific?"
"That's right. A civilization that could conceive of the Ritual God project and even create the Crystal Wall is definitely not based on orthodox science but on theology."
Qin Muye knew that from its early stages, this civilization developed from a theological foundation. Even though it later evolved beyond theology, the influence remained. From the intelligence he had gathered, the Three-Eyed Clan of the R'lyeh Civilization was always connected to their kin through a mental link, forming a vast mental network, which was the precursor to the faith module in the Ritual God system.
"Having extracted it, I now need to cultivate it properly before I can extract the knowledge."
Qin Muye held a piece of flesh, a copy of the vast library from the Three-Eyed Clan. It was currently just a seed and needed some nutrient solution to grow.
"Admittedly, this technology is quite impressive. Further research on the vast library could lead to a new growth model."
For example, experience accumulation. When a new sprite was born, it was a novice. Even if it became a seasoned sprite, the experience gap between old and new sprites would still exist. If the new sprite could inherit all the experience of the old sprite upon activation, it would only need to focus on learning and practicing for a while to convert all the experience into its own, quickly transforming from a novice to an expert.
"However, there are drawbacks. It could lead to mental pitfalls, making sprites blindly believe in the experiences of their predecessors. Therefore, preventive measures are necessary."
If the predecessors summarized their experiences incorrectly, the impact could be significant. Therefore, this had to be handled carefully, not abandoned at the first sign of trouble. After all, with Qin Muye overseeing and the Demonic Network assisting, any issues could be promptly corrected.
If Qin Muye were not around, he wouldn't be able to manage the sprites' issues, so there was no need to worry about these things.
"After decrypting the Three-Eyed Clan's genes, perhaps I can give the sprites a few more eyes?"
