Chapter 467: Seized, a Part of the 8th Tier
Chapter 467: Seized, a Part of the 8th Tier
"Actually, I've been wondering, why does this Gendaya Mother Goddess have tentacles?"
Qin Muye looked at the Gendaya Mother Goddess, who had been stuffed into the prison. According to The Lord's Epoch, she was only a part of the 8th Tier and not the complete Gendaya Mother Goddess.
"Oh, those aren't tentacles, they're a mental network."
"That's what I thought. When it comes to aesthetics, there are few who can match me." Qin Muye watched as the fine threads gradually undulated, eventually forming a massive mental network behind the Gendaya Mother Goddess.
This mental network had naturally been completely stripped from the territory of the Purple Thorn Mountain.
As for the Purple Thorn Mountain territory, it was gone. Although the first strike didn't kill the opponent, the follow-up strike took care of it.
In fact, at the time, Qin Muye had hoped that another Gendaya Mother Goddess would appear to help intercept the attack, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. The territory and its inhabitants were all gone.
The Lord's Epoch had already settled the score, so there was no way it could be fake.
"Although it's only a part, it's a complete and independent individual, very perfect!"
The Gendaya Mother Goddess is not a conventional life form but rather a concept and a set of rules. Therefore, the only difference is in size. Capturing one or ten would result in the same data.
"Without a sense of self and unable to connect with a larger part, it can only remain in standby."
"However, this thing consumes a lot of resources. The mental network can only sustain it for about three days. After that, this Gendaya Mother Goddess will dissipate."
The Gendaya Mother Goddess relies on the mental network of the Three-Eyed Race. Therefore, when Qin Muye pulled it over, he naturally uprooted it entirely; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to capture it.
With a physical form, there is naturally consumption, and this consumption would not be from the Abyssal Power but from the Gendaya Mother Goddess's own mental network.
So, if Qin Muye wanted to study it, he had to ensure that the mental network continued, otherwise, he would lose both the subject and the resources after three days.
Fortunately, Qin Muye had done research in this area. Extending its life was a matter of converting faith power into divine power, which could serve as a nutrient solution.
He had an abundance of this. The spirits provided him with a large amount of faith power every day, and because there was so much, he used it as fuel.
It wasn't that Qin Muye was unwilling to use it; it was just that there were few uses for it. Using it as fuel was the most efficient way to maximize its value. After all, Qin Muye wasn't a deity and had no use for it.
Allocating some to the Gendaya Mother Goddess was no big deal.
"Conceptualization, truly a wondrous force."
Qin Muye continuously extracted a large amount of data from this vague figure. Because the mental network was not large, the Gendaya Mother Goddess only appeared as a blurry figure, looking quite rough. To see her true form, he would have to delve into a larger subconscious network.
Otherwise, this would be her appearance, and even if Qin Muye provided more nutrient solution, it wouldn't make her completely real.
The Gendaya Mother Goddess's appearance was not determined by energy but by concept. People like Chen Mo and Duke White Frost influenced her appearance based on the legacy of the Gendaya civilization, unlike ordinary people whose subconscious held the ancient image of the Mother Goddess.
Their different perceptions naturally led to different images of the Mother Goddess.
They saw the Mother Goddess as a woman with three eyes, just like them, which shaped her current form.
Qin Muye hadn't thought about delving deeper into this. He didn't care whether the Gendaya Mother Goddess was male or female, as it was fundamentally just an illusory form that didn't affect anything essential.
"Capturing her at this moment is indeed an incredible feat." Qin Muye hadn't expected it to be so easy.
He had thought he would have to wreak havoc on the entire material plane to get her, but it turned out that dealing with a relatively worthless lord was enough to secure her.
"Zijin Xian is a good person, sending me both divine artifacts and deities. Look at me, repaying kindness with ingratitude. I hope he lives a long life in his next life, if there is a next life."
"The only downside is that he left behind too little in the way of inheritance. I didn't gain anything, which is a real pity."
The second strike was a bit too harsh, leaving only a large crater. The option to occupy was gone, the plunder option was blacked out and unselectable, and the destruction option, while available, yielded nothing. It was just a matter of saving face.
Fortunately, the experience points weren't entirely lost. Although it was just a meager amount, it was still something to show for his efforts. Otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing to come away with nothing at all.
"Master, after dealing with the Purple Thorn Mountain territory, the mental fluctuations in various regions have significantly increased, showing a trend toward a unified structure. The think tank and intelligence department initially suspect that this might be a further action by the Gendaya Mother Goddess." Black Hand reported to Qin Muye through the magic network.
Qin Muye, who was in the middle of his research, paused his work and took the report.
After reading it, he understood that the Gendaya Mother Goddess was preparing to take more serious actions. Previously, she had been playing small and hiding, but now she was no longer concealing herself.
"The priority of the survival and propagation divine duties is higher than I imagined," Qin Muye said, his expression slightly more serious.
As the threat continued to grow, the rules and logic of the Gendaya Mother Goddess became increasingly flexible. As long as she could fulfill her duties, many of the original restrictions were gradually disappearing.
In simpler terms, the Gendaya Mother Goddess was becoming more and more active.
"The destruction of the Purple Thorn Mountain territory has clearly lowered the overall average."
Although the Purple Thorn Mountain territory wasn't significant in terms of the vast population, it represented the highest combat strength. Chen Mo and Duke White Frost were only at the 5th Tier, but they were the strongest now, apart from that group of insane Transcenders who had already become unrecognizable and were not recognized by the Gendaya Mother Goddess. More importantly, the Purple Thorn Mountain territory was almost entirely composed of Transcenders, making it the largest force according to the Gendaya Mother Goddess's judgment.
With the largest force now destroyed, the danger level was evident. More importantly, she had also lost a part of herself, which was the most severe issue.
"But what is the other side planning to do? Such intense mental turmoil is not a good thing for ordinary people."
"It feels like they are going all in?"
Such a large-scale action would certainly involve significant consumption, which would not be replenished out of thin air but would be drawn from the vast population base, using ordinary people as resources.
This is why Qin Muye felt that the other side was preparing to go all in. Under normal circumstances, the Gendaya Mother Goddess would never do something like this.
The only reason she would do this is if everything had reached a point of no return, and she was preparing to make a final stand.
"Truly decisive, but I can't catch her. Right now, she's just a large mental force field."
Although the scale of her actions was significant, she did not step forward as she did when the Purple Thorn Mountain territory was in danger, because it had not reached that critical point yet.
If Qin Muye wanted to catch her, he would have to delve into the subconscious of the billions of people, which would be a tremendous waste of time. It would be better to spend that time studying the Gendaya Mother Goddess he already had.
After all, the difference between the two was not significant.
There were definitely differences, as one was activated and the other was not.
The Gendaya Mother Goddess in Qin Muye's possession was activated because the mental network was complete. However, this did not mean that the unactivated one was weaker. On the contrary, it was stronger because its subconscious network was larger, and in terms of scale, the two could not be compared.
Comparing a few thousand people with billions, it was clear which was larger. If the Purple Thorn Mountain territory had an 8th Tier individual, it might have been a different story, but with the highest being only at the 5th Tier, it could not match the billions of ordinary people. The sheer number was enough to compensate for the lack of quality.
"I hope you can be helpful and provide me with enough data to complete your analysis before the other Gendaya Mother Goddess completes her plan," Qin Muye said, looking at his Gendaya Mother Goddess.
If he didn't manage to do this in time, Qin Muye would be in a bind, as it would mean he would have to take action.
He did not like fighting, and more importantly, he was not guaranteed to dominate. It would take both skill and time to defeat the other side.
During the process, he might even take a beating. Fighting was not a one-sided affair; the other side would certainly fight back. While he wished the enemy would stand still and let him hit them, the enemy was unlikely to agree to his biased thinking.
