Chapter 464: The Subconscious Network, the True Race
Chapter 464: The Subconscious Network, the True Race
"Master, the latest data shows that the gods seem to be growing stronger," Mo Xue reported to Qin Muye after leading a group to kill the God of Power and relaying the data.
"Growing stronger? Are you sure it's not just a difference between the gods, and that the God of Power was already one of the higher-tier gods?" Qin Muye looked at the data, which indeed showed a significant increase in strength. However, if controlled by the Gendaya Mother Goddess, it wasn't impossible for such an increase to occur.
"No, it's a comprehensive strengthening. It seems like all the gods' powers are being centralized and then evenly distributed. I'll send you the data," Mo Xue knew that mere words wouldn't convince Qin Muye, so he needed to back it up with data.
"There's no need. We've compared the data, and Mo Xue's assessment is correct. The changes are minor, and the data fluctuations are not as clear as during Mo Xue's battles. After Mo Xue concluded, we conducted further research and confirmed that it is indeed true," the Intelligence Department directly verified Mo Xue's suspicion.
"What is the Gendaya Mother Goddess trying to do? This way, divine power won't disappear, and at most, some will be lost during the transfer process."
"Wait, what is the method of transfer? It can't just be moved out of thin air. Based on what we know, She hasn't shown the ability to break through the Abyss Projection."
Qin Muye suddenly realized that taking divine power right under his nose was a direct challenge. No wonder the aftermath of the divine power pollution was so simple; the main body had already been transferred, leaving only a few remnants to clean up.
"We are currently searching, with initial suspicions."
Before the Intelligence Department could finish their report on the magic network, Qin Muye's senses spread out, passing through the Astral Plane and entering the entire Material Plane. In an instant, he found the cause.
"There's no need to search. I found it. The data has been uploaded to the magic network," Qin Muye said, regaining his composure.
The transfer process was simple: it used people.
Yes, ordinary people, not Extraordinary Beings or the Three-Eyed Clan.
"I always thought the Gendaya Mother Goddess's focus was on the Three-Eyed Clan. Now I see that I was too narrow-minded."
"For concepts and rules, it's not that complicated."
Anyone would think the same. After all, the Three-Eyed Clan is very capable and considered the rightful rulers of the world. In comparison, humans seemed less important, but unfortunately, this was Qin Muye's thought, not the Gendaya Mother Goddess's.
Using human logic to understand the actions of a higher being is entirely flawed, even if Qin Muye himself is not human, he still made a mistake.
The Gendaya Mother Goddess never abandoned the humans who, in the Gendaya civilization, were considered deformed. Even if it meant paying an unimaginable price, She was doing everything possible to protect these people.
The faith of artificial gods is inherently tied to humans. As long as there are believers, divine power has a place to go. The Gendaya Mother Goddess uses human faith as a stepping stone in the subconscious, directly regulating all divine power, thus forming an enormous subconscious network.
Although not as comprehensive as a mental network, it is sufficient for the Mother Goddess's use.
This is why artificial gods, if they enter the Material Plane in their true form, are immediately covered by the Gendaya Mother Goddess.
Can even the most devout faith surpass the subconscious's devotion?
All faith must first pass through the Gendaya Mother Goddess before reaching the artificial gods, making all divine roles derivatives of the Mother Goddess.
"Fortunately, I learned this through these artificial gods. Otherwise, focusing on those remaining survivors would have been a huge loss," Qin Muye muttered. No wonder they were so active; they were just being used as a shield.
If it came down to a choice between ordinary humans and the Three-Eyed Clan, the Gendaya Mother Goddess would unhesitatingly choose ordinary humans, simply because of their numbers.
Survival and reproduction ultimately boil down to population size. It's impossible to abandon the much larger base of ordinary humans in favor of the Three-Eyed Clan.
The Three-Eyed Clan now numbers in the thousands at most, while ordinary humans, despite all the misfortunes they've faced, still number in the billions. Even Qin Muye knew which choice to make.
After a brief deliberation, Qin Muye continued to ponder the true plans of the Gendaya Mother Goddess.
"A vast subconscious network, with billions of people as nodes, this is an incredibly powerful force."
"Even the mental network is nothing compared to this subconscious network. If things were to go to extremes..."
Qin Muye wasn't sure what the Gendaya Mother Goddess's plan was, but he knew that her goal was to protect everyone.
"Let's take it one step at a time. First, we'll clear out all the artificial gods. Then, any further plans she has will inevitably reveal themselves."
The Gendaya Mother Goddess was not human, had no self, and did not communicate with humans. Therefore, as long as they found some clues, both the Intelligence Department and the Think Tank would quickly deduce her true intentions.
Even if Qin Muye hadn't discovered the subconscious network, the spirits under his command would have found it. By using the changes in the powers of the artificial gods as a starting point, the only thing needed was time. Qin Muye expedited the process, saving the spirits a lot of time.
A large number of spirit spies in the Material Plane became active again, receiving orders from the command center, intelligence department, and other departments to further investigate the situation.
Efficiency was not an issue. The spies continuously fed various intelligence and data into the magic network, which was then categorized and analyzed by various departments. Finally, a comprehensive big data report was compiled, ready to be transmitted to Qin Muye.
With just one word from Qin Muye, a large number of personnel were mobilized.
This was the benefit of having a powerful organization. Whatever Qin Muye wanted, he only needed to say it, and countless people would work to achieve it, placing the results on his desk.
He didn't need to do these things himself, especially not when he was already in a high position. If not for the peculiar nature of this situation, Qin Muye wouldn't have personally sensed these matters.
Otherwise, if Qin Muye had to handle every trivial matter, the spirits he had cultivated would be useless.
In a large organization, especially one centered around a single individual, everything revolves around that person, and all resources are allocated to support that person.
In the early stages, Qin Muye was weak, but now, even a true dragon emperor would not withstand a single strike from him.
This was because the resources of those organizations were spread out, as people's hearts were not united.
Even without any combat profession, Qin Muye possessed strength comparable to the strongest. From the beginning, Qin Muye had a clear plan for the entire domain structure, focusing exclusively on spirits, unlike other lords who had a variety of strange affairs.
The only exception might be the Necromancer, who used undead, but even he was only slightly better off because all his resources were concentrated on himself to control the undead. Otherwise, he couldn't suppress them, as undead only obeyed higher-level undead, which was both a benefit and a drawback.
Unlike spirits, which, though initially weak, had a constant loyalty that could outperform all other units, making them a god-tier skill from the early to the late stages.
However, this skill was not flashy, offered no attribute or effect boosts, and the units with this skill were extremely weak, so few people used them.
Moreover, such units were limited to low-level units, typically hovering around 1st and 2nd tier. Higher tiers might exist, but they were rarely encountered, like gargoyles and golems, which also had constant loyalty but were too slow and not as intelligent as spirits.
Thus, becoming a champion-level unit was much more difficult, even if they had the strength, their intelligence was lacking.
Titans, though intelligent, were artificial and did not have constant loyalty due to their immense power, which the mental imprint could not fully control. Rakshasas and divine monsters also faced similar issues. Otherwise, who wouldn't want loyal units?
Only someone as unique as Qin Muye would persist in refining spirits to their peak. Someone else would have likely given up long ago.
Of course, the Three-Eyed Clan was similar. If one could convert their bloodline to that of the Three-Eyed Clan, they could achieve a similar development path, though the nature would be different.
Qin Muye's domain centered around him, but if the lord were to become a Three-Eyed Clan member, the domain would center around the Three-Eyed Clan as a whole.
