The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily

Chapter 121 Abandoning the Martial Arts System, Beginning Mechanical Ascension

The ball of light paused for only a second before giving its final answer:

"Based on your current 201 talent attributes and the current state of the small world, the optimal path I have calculated is to adopt a development direction that combines cultivation and mechanical civilizations."

"Currently, the spiritual energy concentration in your small world has already exceeded the basic concentration by tens of thousands of times, and is rapidly upgrading towards immortal energy. The development of martial arts civilization and immortal cultivation civilization has become completely unbalanced."

"In the future, the gap between martial artists and cultivators will widen. Even if an outstanding martial arts individual like Chi Wu emerges, it will still be unable to salvage the failure of the entire development path."

"Your best development path at present is mechanical ascension."

As a derivative of Lu Sheng's absolute rational will, the Mechanical Heavenly Dao is equivalent to a divine incarnation devoid of emotional thinking, and naturally it can know the various entries he possesses.

Of course, there's no downside to it.

Conversely, if one does not know the function of these terms, one cannot fully understand the facts, and the choices made will be biased.

However, Lu Sheng was still curious as to why the Mechanical Heavenly Dao had this idea, so he raised his eyes and asked, "Explain in detail."

"The development system of martial arts, immortal cultivation, and machinery coexisting is not problematic. However, the problem lies in the vast difference in the development ecosystems of martial arts and immortal cultivation. Even with an outstanding individual like Chi Wu, it is impossible to bridge the gap between the two combat systems, and they cannot support each other."

"Furthermore, Chi Wu's appearance is just a matter of luck. Statistically speaking, in the future, the number of geniuses like him in the cultivation civilization will only increase by hundreds or even thousands of times."

"Instead of wasting resources on developing martial arts, it would be better to directly transition martial arts civilization into the 'body refinement' culture of cultivation civilization, making up for the shortcomings of spiritual energy body refinement."

The ball of light continued, "Blood and Qi martial arts and spiritual cultivation are two different systems. If you want to combine them with technology to accelerate them, you need twice the resources, but the effect will be 1+1<2."

"Perhaps you are thinking that new terms for improving physical fitness may emerge in the future, but compared to martial arts civilization, cultivation civilization is more inclusive. The same term, spiritual energy body refinement, can also yield considerable benefits, even far exceeding those of qi and blood martial arts."

"In the database I've searched, there have been many talented individuals from wealthy families who chose to study multiple systems. They clearly had the resources to support the development of multiple systems simultaneously, but ultimately they all unified into a single, complete system. Do you know why?"

Lu Sheng remained silent.

To be honest, he hadn't considered all of that.

According to his thinking, with so many entries, shouldn't he make full use of the function of each entry and make the best use of the talents of each citizen?

The ball of light floated in the air, and the familiar voice also conveyed a strong sense of unfamiliarity.

Ignoring Lu Sheng's silence, it continued, "You possess entries of all types, not just martial arts, cultivation, and mechanics, but also ghost-controlling systems, magic systems, alchemy systems... and so on. With your entries, you can fully explore them all."

"But, is this really necessary?"

"Having multiple combat systems can indeed help deal with many situations, but if they cannot complement each other, and all the resources needed to develop multiple systems are focused on one direction, then we have already gone beyond this level."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng seemed to understand something.

Just like the protagonists with five spiritual roots in the cultivation novels I read in my previous life, they need to consume dozens of times more resources to advance to the next realm.

Although combat power can be increased significantly, if all these resources are consumed on a single spiritual root cultivator, the opponent will have already entered the next major realm and can be subjected to a dimensional reduction attack.

The idea that it's to increase the upper limit is nonsense.

With the overpowered phrase "Heaven rewards diligence" in place, there's practically no limit to its potential.

You have to give up something to gain something.

The ball of light continued to tremble: "With the resources you currently possess, you can fully dedicate yourself to developing the cultivation civilization and assisting mechanical acceleration, instead of blindly pursuing balanced development."

"Your current goal is to become a top-tier genius of the Great Xia Dynasty, acquire enough resources and authority to give back to the Divine Kingdom, maximize the utilization rate of the entry, and create a positive cycle."

"If we want to shorten this time as much as possible, relying on the [Berserker God of War] and the [Eternal War Demon Body] to invade the alien god kingdom and use war to sustain war is a good plan, but it also carries certain risks."

"Invading the alien divine kingdom is out of the question," Lu Sheng decisively waved his hand.

He's only a second-stage demigod now, and he doesn't have any background. If the invading alien god sends a fifth-stage demigod as his older brother, wouldn't he be torn apart?

He would only start considering this matter when he reached at least the fourth or even fifth level of the Divine Kingdom, and when he had filled up the defensive structures of the Divine Kingdom to the point where he could fight against a hundred enemies at once.

Before this, even if there were huge benefits, he would never have been tempted!

"We'll do it your way. Apart from the risk objectives, the development of the rest of the small worlds will be entrusted to you. I hope you won't let me down."

Having witnessed the other party's capabilities, Lu Sheng simply delegated authority.

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

No matter how much you study, your knowledge level will never be as fast or accurate as the mechanical way of Heaven directly scanning the database, let alone statistics, analysis, and other aspects.

At the same time, Lu Sheng couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of the Mechanical Heavenly Path.

The other party's existence saved him the money of hiring a senior planner and purchasing various intelligent life forms, and also eliminated potential risks...

It should be noted that although Lu Sheng had previously hired a planner, it only cost a few hundred million faith points, which seemed very cheap.

But how big was his little world back then?

How many high-rise buildings are there?

Nowadays, if you were to hire a planner, it would probably cost at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands, of divine essences each time, which is also a considerable expense.

At the same time, it also saves a lot of study time, allowing Lu Sheng to have more time to focus on practical matters.

When they woke up the next day, the small world was already undergoing sweeping reforms under the operation of the Mechanical Heavenly Dao.

When the gods issued a decree, the martial artists who thought that Chi Wu's victory as the martial arts champion would bring a new spring to the martial arts world were devastated and were forced to switch from the path of blood and qi martial arts to the path of spiritual qi body refinement.

But they soon discovered a worrying problem: why was their body tempering speed using spiritual energy much faster than when they used blood and qi to temper themselves?

hateful……

I don't want to do this at all, but why does my body start moving on its own?

On the other hand, with the mechanical Heavenly Dao providing microscopic control, the work efficiency of the numerous mechanical life forms in the small world has also been greatly improved.

"Master, a large number of cultivators in your small world have undergone prosthetic body modifications. It is recommended to purchase one million Relink brain-computer interface data sensors."

"Master, the [Hundred Crafts Workshop] is too ineffective. I have sold them all for you. I suggest purchasing 100 S-level buildings, the [Feimi Printer], which can mass-produce feimi-level weapons..."

"Master, the spiritual energy production capacity of the small world is in serious surplus. It is recommended to purchase the A-level building [Spirit Energy Converter], which can reduce the expenditure on mechanical development by 30%."

"Master, the yield of Zhongling Stone Milk is too low, and the effect of Lingrui Flower Fairy is far inferior to that of 'Spirit Plant Master' in the current cultivation civilization system. I suggest selling them all."

There are many problems in the small world that Lu Sheng had not discovered before, but with the massive computing power of the Mechanical Heavenly Dao, these omissions can be spotted at a glance.

Watching the scenery of his little world change rapidly, Lu Sheng was quite busy and happy. Time soon came to the day when the freshman competition would begin.

The identity token swayed slightly, and a cold, mechanical voice came from it.

"The Freshman Competition begins. All freshmen must enter the Ziwei Battlefield within one hour, or they will be disqualified from the competition."
