Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 716 The Soul of Digital

"Again! I'm sure I can beat you this time!"

In a spacious courtyard of Wuxian City, Yama Legend fell heavily to the ground from the air, but quickly got up and charged into the air again with his sword.

His opponent was none other than Alpha.

"Bai Qi, your pet beast is indeed very strong, as it was able to beat Yama so badly."

Seeing the two players in a situation that was almost one-sided, the French emperor even showed a look of eager anticipation on his face.

"It was just that Legend of Enma was being modest."

Bai Qi shook his head. To avoid trouble, Bai Qi did not let Alpha release the Law of Annihilation, but simply used swordsmanship and shadow skills to fight against it.

Even so, Alpha completely overwhelmed Enma Legend, and the two were clearly addicted to fighting, and there was no way to stop them.

He could only hope that Alpha wouldn't accidentally reveal the power of annihilation, as he remembered that the Fa Emperor already knew of the existence of death around this time.

"However, the undead do have a great advantage in fighting against other races. They are not afraid of damage and have endless stamina. Ordinary flesh and blood creatures are indeed no match for the undead."

At this point, the French Emperor frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Is Your Majesty worried about the undead?"

Bai Qi asked upon seeing this.

"That's right, the undead can turn the dead into their companions. If they are allowed to continue developing like this, humans will be no match for them."

The Emperor sighed and said, "It's a pity that I haven't been able to develop a rune puppet with independent combat capabilities yet, otherwise I wouldn't be so wary."

"A runic golem capable of independent combat? A twin-heavenly mech?"

Bai Qi instinctively thought of the Twin Sky Mechs designed by the Fa Emperor himself. Judging from this, the Fa Emperor's original purpose was not to deal with death, but the undead race.

"Dual-Sky Mech? Judging from that name, Bai Qi, do you also have expertise in this area?"

The French emperor's eyes lit up; he had become interested.

"Hmm... I do have some knowledge of the structure of puppets, but I'm still quite lacking in terms of runes."

Bai Qi was actually being modest. After learning the rune knowledge from the Law Emperor's Insights and combining it with the mechanical knowledge inherited from Wang Chen, when Bai Qi created the Star Behemoth, he already possessed the ability to independently create creations that were no less impressive than the Twin Heaven Mechs.

However, when facing someone like the Emperor of Law, Bai Qi felt it was best to be humble.

"That's perfect. I was originally planning to come here to try out a new rune golem. Since you, Bai Qi, are also knowledgeable in this area, let's discuss it together."

With that, the Dharma Emperor led Bai Qi back into the house, summoned the puppet he had made, and began to introduce it to himself.

"Shuke, if I directly hand over the blueprints for the Twin Sky Mech to the French Emperor, wouldn't that be considered violating the rules of time?"

"Theoretically speaking, no."

"I understand."

……

Half a month later.

Fadi and Bai Qi looked at the two mechs standing in front of them with satisfaction, their faces full of smiles.

The two mechs, one black and one white, look similar in appearance, but there are still significant differences in the details.

The Twin Sky Mech is finally complete.

"Thanks to the structural design ideas you provided, Bai Qi, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken to complete such a large project."

The French emperor looked at Bai Qi with gratitude, his appreciation for Bai Qi evident in his words.

"I should be thanking Your Majesty properly. Only today did I realize how one-sided my understanding of runes was before."

Bai Qi shook his head and said.

Although Bai Qi had already mastered the method of building the Twin Sky Mech from Black and White, he did not use it directly. Instead, he chose to start from scratch with the Fa Di and study it together.

It was precisely because of this that Bai Qi not only thoroughly digested the rune knowledge he obtained from the Emperor's insights, but also learned another piece of knowledge that he had long coveted.

The method of stripping the soul of a ferocious beast and sealing it inside a mecha is called the Soul Separation Curse.

The French Emperor did not name this technique; the Soul Separation Curse was added by Bai Qi for easier memorization.

Its function, just like its name, is to separate the soul from the ferocious beast and then transfer it to the puppet to activate its vitality.

Simply put, this Soul Separation Curse can be considered an early version of Spirit Awakening, but it cannot generate consciousness; it can only give the puppet the ability to act autonomously.

According to the Emperor, the Soul Separation Curse must never be passed on, and apart from him and his private manufacturing department, almost no one in the entire empire possesses this technology.

If it weren't for the pleasant conversation with Bai Qi and the high regard for Bai Qi, the Emperor would never have handed the reins over to him so easily.

"Shuke, are you sure you've got it all figured out?"

Bai Qi looked at Shu Ke and asked.

"I've basically mastered it."

Shuke nodded and said, "Moreover, this method has given Epsilon and me a lot of inspiration. Give me a few more days, and perhaps there will be a pleasant surprise."

"A surprise? Could it be the Spirit of Revelation and the Virtual Soul? You've figured it out?"

"It doesn't really count, we'll just call it the Digital Soul."

Shuke connected his soul with Bai Qi, sharing his vision.

The Nine Cauldrons System was controlling the mechanical apostles to throw several ferocious beasts onto a machine covered in runes. After the runes flashed, the beasts became still.

At the other end of the machine, on a huge screen, images of those ferocious beasts appeared one by one.

"Is this the soul of digital technology?"

Bai Qi smacked his lips, as if he had made a connection to something.

"That's right. By combining the Three Lives Tower and the Soul Separation Curse, I successfully mastered the assembly line for extracting the souls of ferocious beasts, and with the help of the tribulation power of the Three Lives Soul Tribulation, I transformed these souls into data."

"These ferocious beast souls are now both data and souls, almost exactly the same as my original state, so I named them Digital Souls."

After listening to Shuke's explanation, Bai Qi suddenly understood and said, "So, you can implant these digital souls into machines or other things to achieve the effect of awakening them?"

The Apocalypse Soul granted Bai Qi the right to freely transform pets. If the Digital Soul also possessed the same ability, then he would essentially have the ability to mass-produce pets.

No, it should be said that it has the ability to revive its own dead pets.

As long as the soul of the pet is not dead, they can use the method of creating mechanical apostles to create a corresponding body for them, and then implant the transformed digital into it.

In this way, beast tamers will no longer have to worry about losing contract slots due to the death of their pets.

"Theoretically, it's possible, but at present I can only convert them, not modify them. Moreover, the converted digital souls have drawbacks; their loyalty cannot be guaranteed, so they can't be used for the time being."

"Moreover, our goal is not just transformation."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "It's good that you have some clues. At least you won't be like a headless fly anymore."

Bai Qi paused, then asked, "By the way, where's Epsilon?"

Awoo awoo!

(I know that Epsilon is brainwashing those ferocious beasts so that they can be put to use after the transformation.)

Well, brainwashing is indeed one way to do it.

I wonder what the Moonlight Tree above our heads will look like if Epsilon keeps doing this.

"You two continue your research, I'll go out first."

Bai Qi watched for a while, then proactively cut off the connection with Shuke.

"Bai Qi, are you alright?"

At this moment, the Emperor also noticed Bai Qi's unusual behavior and asked him a question.

"Oh? Is it some new renovation plan?"

The French emperor raised an eyebrow, immediately showing interest.

"No, it's just related to my pet beast."

Bai Qi shook his head and said.

"A pet? I see."

At this point, a hint of envy appeared on the French Emperor's face.

"I originally thought that Bai Qi, your pet beasts' combat strength was already excellent, but I didn't expect that you could also cultivate their intelligence to such an extent that they can help design runes and puppets. It's truly enviable..."

Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. He wondered what the Emperor would think if he knew that mechanics in later generations almost all had an AI.

"I had no choice. After all, unlike His Majesty, I cannot independently complete such rune designs. I can only train an assistant."

Bai Yong looked at the French Emperor with adoration. Through the past two weeks of contact, his admiration for the French Emperor had grown stronger.

Bai Qi was inferior to the Fa Di in both his understanding of runes and his design philosophy for puppets.

Bai Qi even asserted that if it weren't for the limitations of the era's productivity, the achievements of the French emperor would likely have far surpassed what they have today.

"I had no other choice."

The Dharma Emperor sighed and said, "The path of runes is extremely complex, and it becomes even more complicated after being fused with a puppet. It is difficult for ordinary people to grasp, let alone master."

"I've tried to train some assistants, but they've never been able to keep up with my train of thought, so I can only conduct research on my own."

As he spoke, a hint of weariness flashed in the Emperor's eyes.

To rule such a large empire and conduct new rune research is a task whose hardships are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Indeed, Your Majesty. I'm afraid only you can keep up with your train of thought."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. To be honest, if he hadn't brought his knowledge from later generations and hadn't also learned from the Emperor's insights, he might not have been able to keep up with the Emperor's way of thinking.

The French emperor has a long way to go in cultivating assistants who can keep up with his thinking.

Bai Qi looked at the French Emperor with sympathy. If he didn't have a capable assistant like Shuke, he probably wouldn't be much different from the French Emperor now.

Hmm? A capable assistant?

Bai Qi suddenly thought of something and stared blankly at the Emperor for a long time until the Emperor waved his hand in front of him, which brought him back to his senses.

"Bai Qi, why don't you go and rest for a bit?"

The Dharma Emperor was somewhat worried, he said.

"I'm fine, but I have a suggestion that might alleviate your stress, Your Majesty."

"I wonder if Your Majesty would be interested in creating a puppet that possesses all your memories and intelligence?"
