Chapter 445: Artificial Constructs · Faith Form

"War God is already half-mad, and Ritual God is a little better, still retaining some sanity, but not for long." Qin Muye collected the data and observed the two deities.

As a result of the nobility's war spiraling out of control, these two deities faced repercussions akin to those endured by the God of Magic.

This also indicated that, after countless years, the new generation of deities still shared the same flaws as the original deities in the deity project.

However, there was progress. At least in the aspect of artificial deities, it was now possible to succeed without the third eye, using a proxy instead.

"The concept of soul ownership is truly versatile. I never thought that it could form a terminal and further differentiate through a core similar to a rule."

Through in-depth research, Qin Muye concluded that while the War God and Ritual God appeared to be independent deities, they were not. They were more like sub-accounts.

The core standard for deities was the third eye of the Three-Eyed Clan. Without this eye, one could not become a deity. Therefore, most deities were not normal deities but derivatives of a Three-Eyed Clan member, using this method to become a deity, which is why they seemed so peculiar.

Moreover, being a deity was not a good path to strength. Faith did not make them stronger; it was more like a form of sustenance energy.

If one were to be precise, the term "deity" was a word used in the Cradle Plan to interfere with the formation of civilizations. The original name was "Faith Form," which was more straightforwardly a world modulator and a high-energy weapon.

In the great library of the Gendaya civilization, transforming into a Faith Form was a form of sacrifice, as it meant that the individual had renounced their identity as a Three-Eyed Clan member and transformed into a tool.

As for soul ownership, it was essentially a variant of the Three-Eyed Clan's mental network. If a human believed in a deity, their soul would be connected to the terminal, which is why only believers could sever the connection.

It was like a person using a computer to go online; the computer could not decide the duration of the internet session; only the user could.

However, due to interference, cognitive errors and changes in common knowledge occurred, leading to the current absurd scene.

"Maintaining self-awareness after becoming a deity is indeed a problem. Only a special structure like the Three-Eyed Clan's full-civilization mental connection could use it. Otherwise, this high-energy weapon might malfunction."

If a weapon had consciousness, and it was the consciousness of a person, it would no longer be a proper weapon.

However, from the extent of the Cradle Plan's implementation, the deities left behind were still loyal and had not experienced any changes in thought.

Chasing and hunting their awakened kin, Qin Muye suspected, was part of the Cradle Plan, as was the destruction of civilizations.

He did not know the reason, and there was currently no evidence to explain why.

Qin Muye had no intention of investigating it now, as it was meaningless.

Even if he knew why the Gendaya civilization had been destroyed, what difference would it make? He had not even fully mastered the Gendaya civilization's technology.

It was too early to explore these matters now.

Of course, the spirits were collecting information, but his statement about not investigating meant he would not personally act.

However, the spirits had not found any useful clues, as this was an ancient secret hidden by a civilization, not something that could be easily discovered.

The entire deity system, which appeared to be based on theology, was actually grounded in Gendaya civilization technology. In Qin Muye's view, deities were more scientific than he was.

So he realized that the need for a divine realm without deities was not impossible to achieve.

Moreover, even the creation of artificial deities was unnecessary. Compared to Qin Muye generating a divine realm directly through a program interface, creating artificial deities was more difficult because it involved the issue of soul ownership, not the sub-ownership of these third-rate deities, but the main ownership.

This required bypassing the original Three-Eyed Clan deity.

However, if he generated it directly, it would be different. Qin Muye could manipulate the main program, which was the crystalline wall ring world orbital base.

From the current situation, it seems that the original deity has not truly grasped the entire crystalline wall ring world orbital base. After all, he is only a part of it, not the true controller. According to the records of the deity project, nearly hundreds of people were transformed into Faith Forms, or deities, but very few have survived.

Even if the Three-Eyed Clan were bold, they would not entrust the entire main control system to a group of artificial intelligences. It's true that the original deity has some authority, but having all authority is impossible.

Furthermore, Qin Muye serves as evidence. His Endless Abyss is located in the area of the crystalline wall ring world orbital base designated for holding divine realms, and it should be a large divine realm, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to accommodate his Endless Abyss.

If the original deity truly controlled the entire crystalline wall ring world orbital base, he would have immediately detected the issue with the area where Qin Muye is located.

He can indeed hide, but hiding within a vast system is not easy.

"Currently, the main material plane is experiencing large-scale chaos. At least the various deities are preoccupied with their own affairs. The breakdown of rituals and norms has not yet spread widely, but there are already local changes."

"Clearly, some major nobles are behind the scenes, stirring up trouble."

Without the noble wars, the major nobles would benefit the most. They have strong armies and a large number of extraordinary beings, and they are also connected to the church. Some with foresight have already reached agreements with the deity church.

In the battle of the White Frost Principality, a large number of priests and divine messengers ascended to the divine realms or descended into hell, while those who were not blessed by the deities found themselves in an awkward position.

Because they were not devout enough, some major nobles offered to help them expand their believers to increase their piety, but with a tiny, insignificant cost, of course, the reward was also minimal.

The priests who were not blessed by the deities were naturally tempted and thus joined in.

Otherwise, how could War God be half-mad and Ritual God retain some sanity?

It is because the higher-ups have decided their actions. The true, bloody wars have already begun, and they are being fought in the name of the deities.

Without delving into other matters, Qin Muye found the situation quite entertaining, especially since the original deity has not yet taken drastic action over the deaths of the God of Magic and many divine messengers. Clearly, the upheaval of the old order has captured his attention.

If this issue is not handled well, it will likely affect the entire deity system, which is more important than the God of Magic.

"I think he probably can't handle such a large-scale situation. He may use faith as a fetter, but while he can lock the pace of progress, he cannot lock the greed of people. Some cracks, if left unopened, will never cause trouble, but if they are opened..."

If all the priests and extraordinary beings under the deities had the utmost devotion, Qin Muye would not have succeeded. However, the current situation is definitely going to deteriorate, as evidenced by the previous selection for divine blessings.

"Once War God goes completely mad, I'll throw him into the main material plane. That will add fuel to the fire."

Qin Muye relished the chaos, as the losses would not be his but those of the deities. Whoever dies, it's their loss.

He could also gather some skeletons from the aftermath, which are indeed very useful. If it weren't for the inability to heal, Qin Muye would have considered cultivating them. Such high-quality labor is hard to come by.

Qin Muye wanted to witness the war of the deities, or more accurately, the war of the mad deities.

It would also be a good opportunity to observe the existence that might be related to survival and reproduction.

Primarily, he wanted to observe, and watching the chaos was secondary. Although Qin Muye enjoys watching the chaos, he is not a chaos-loving person.

"Strange, why hasn't Zijin Immortal bought the material yet? Is he really planning to go all the way with me?" Qin Muye glanced at the auction house, where the material was still listed, indicating that Zijin Immortal was not giving up.

"I need to put some pressure on him, or when will I get my hands on this divine artifact?"

"Whoa~ Is what I'm doing now a bit like the extortion of a minor villain? Will I be killed by the protagonist of this server?" Qin Muye couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, but then he thought, with a fated son on his side, he could rest easy.
