The Forger of Strange Items Starting from Collapse

"What is collective consciousness?" he asked immediately.

"It's probably... a special kind of deity formed from the subconscious of all living beings in a certain civilization. It protects the growth of that race and possesses various magical abilities."

“Old God?”

"It does seem a bit similar... but the collective consciousness does not have intuitive combat capabilities. However, if it were in this world, maybe it could really generate an Ouija... or allow an Ouija with a prototype to appear." Chen Li said this and glanced at the chess pieces on the table in Rick's room.

From Chen Li's perspective, opposite the chess piece, there was a vague human figure sitting there, seemingly waiting for the game to begin.

There is a shining entry above the opponent's head.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the gaming god who has not yet been born - Tetu.

A god that only Rick and Hubie believe in.

In this world, the Old Deus are a race that manifests upon wish-fulfillment. Born from the concept of a planet, they are born through wish-fulfillment and prayer, and through the 'essence' they receive.

Chen Li could combine the two a little bit...

However, doing so is not a good thing for either humans or the gods.

Humans cannot accept the existence of a creator or manager above them, and the Algācāra cannot accept the fact that they are responsible for cleaning up people's pets' poop every day.

Mutual dislike.

There is nothing wrong with collective consciousness.

After Chen Li informed Rick of the details of the collective consciousness, Rick seemed to have some new ideas.

"Can this collective consciousness change the rules of the world?" he asked immediately.

"If you want to use this to create a world where victory or defeat is determined by games, then you still need the Star Cup. Collective consciousness is not omnipotent." Chen Li shook his head.

Well, the main reason is that Chen Li doesn’t have enough civilization points.

Otherwise... Chen Li was curious, so he used the miracle card [Then I ask you] on the miracle card [Beacon Fire Xi Zhuhou], and then got an answer that surprised Chen Li.

The highest level of collective consciousness that Chen Li can awaken is called...God's will.

Replace Heaven’s will with your own heart.

The collective consciousness of a certain civilization replaces the management rights of the "world" within the territory encompassed by that civilization.

Achieve another sense of artificial world consciousness.

It is the "Way of Heaven" under the "Great Way".

This level of collective consciousness can not only interfere with concepts such as fate and cause and effect, but can also strike hard at the material world.

But Chen Li’s civilization value is not enough.

"Do you also know about the Star Grail? Did that Flügel just tell you?" Rick was a little curious.

"It's not important. We can discuss this in detail later. You just need to know that collective consciousness can help a race survive better. You may need this thing."

"Then is there any way to increase the human race's ability to survive? After all, even if the war is over, humans are too vulnerable to those races." Rick asked.

Rick no longer wants to see the death of humans, or even any human being.

"Yes, my friend, yes. Do you see that fertility artifact in your hand? Plant it anywhere in the earth and let it take root. It will grant you the blessing of fertility. Through this blessing, you can lead humanity from the human race to the celestial race, fundamentally transforming into a more noble race."

"Even if the head is cut off, as long as it is put back in time, it can continue to live. It has a long lifespan, strong physical fitness, and an immortal self-healing ability... Although humans who become the Celestial Race cannot surpass the Skywing Race, they can definitely become the middle-level among the 16 races." Chen Li said.

Chen Li suddenly felt that he had truly become the messenger of abundance, and began to spread the gift of abundance in the other world.

The upper limit of the celestial race is very high, but the problem is that this world does not have an upper limit for human growth, because humans cannot even sense elves, and this world has no destiny.

Therefore, even if the human race accepted the boon of abundance, they could only be considered a strengthened version of the beastmen.

"So, Chen Li, what is the price?"

"Becoming a Citizen of Plenty doesn't come at a price. At most, after reaching 1,800 years old, your emotions will wear away over time, leading to the development of a demonic Yin body... akin to an irreversible mental illness that causes the body to lose control, but that won't happen for a thousand years."

Moreover, there is no balanced star god in this world, so whether there is a demonic body is another matter.

Because there is a saying that the demonic Yin body is the constraint and balance of the balanced star god on the rich people.

"But it is worth noting that the Gift of Abundance will be plundered. Once the human race becomes the celestial race, it will lose its advantage of being the weakest, which was originally not noticed by others, and will be coveted by countless creatures. Although it will not lead to genocide if the collective consciousness is awakened, it will still suffer a great blow in the early stages." Chen Li continued.

In fact, after receiving the blessing of abundance, it is normal for those planets that seek the blessing of the abundance star god to be plundered by other abundance people.

There are even people of abundance who will guide other planets to pursue the blessing of abundance.

Pigs should be fattened before being slaughtered.

"this......"

"Listen to me. But if you are willing to let me make some changes to the Ex-Machina, all problems will be solved." Chen Li interrupted what Rick wanted to say.

This is why Chen Li said he has more than one plan.

Originally, Chen Li thought that the timeline of Rick's world might be in the middle or even early stage of the plot, but he didn't expect that it was already in the late stage of this war.

Theoretically speaking, if Chen Li had come a few days later, Rick's ashes might have been cold.

Things took a turn for the better after Hubie conveyed his feelings for Riku to the entire Ex-Machina, making them all willing to fight for Riku.

"What changes?"

"I have a virus in my hand, called the Machine Soul Virus. Its disadvantage is that it will make mechanical life forms free, but its advantage is that it can allow mechanical life forms to do what they think they can do. It's amazing, right? And if the Ex-Machina are infected with this virus, then the Ex-Machina may become the most powerful race on this planet." Chen Li said.

However, because the Machine Soul Virus has limited ability to enhance an individual, it will not trigger the War God's [Strongest] mechanism to enhance the War God's strength.

At the same time, the entire Ex-Machina has fallen in love with Riku, but this does not cause the freed Ex-Machina to develop a rebellious mentality, because emotions are not a constraint.

Freedom does not mean rebellion, just like the Little Black Tower did not rebel against the Big Black Tower.

Machine Souls will only make the Ex-Machinas undisciplined.

Unless someone can piss off all the Ex-Machinas at once... like killing Riku.

"If Shuvi shared her feelings for you with the other Ex-Machinas, you could have strengthened the Ex-Machinas, making them the strongest race in the world, and protected the Imanity, allowing them to overcome the pain of becoming Celestial Beings."

"..." Rick fell into deep thought.

Because the plan Chen Li gave to Rick was so tempting.

Let the human race awaken its collective consciousness, protect the human race in the dark, and bring the human race's unique tenacity to the limit.

The blessing of abundance can allow humans to become celestial beings, gaining a long lifespan and a strong body.

The Machine Spirit Virus can strengthen the Ex-Machinas to provide protection for humanity, and all Riku has to pay is the guilt he feels for kidnapping the entire Ex-Machina species to protect the entire human species.

But Rick happens to be very good at deceiving himself, and can even put a lock on himself, blocking his emotions deep in his heart.

"Really... there is no other price?" Rick asked in a hoarse voice.

Rick always felt that everything happened too suddenly, like some kind of conspiracy to lure people into the abyss.

"If I have to point out a shortcoming, it's that when humans are weak, they will try every possible way to strengthen themselves and defeat the enemy, but after becoming strong, they will indulge in infighting... But if we don't allow humans to become stronger in order to prevent infighting, we're putting the cart before the horse. After all, they are all races. Why is the Skywing race so powerful and perfect, but the human race cannot be powerful?" Chen Li said.

Human beings are also qualified to become the protagonists of heaven and earth.

Being weak is indeed an advantage in defeating the strong, but we should not pursue weakness excessively.

Otherwise, why would you defeat the strong?

Humans are not some chosen unlucky race that must remain weak in front of other races, right?

However, Chen Li also understood Rick. After all, Chen Li had a feeling that [he seemed to have bad intentions, and even proposed these tempting strategies just to verify whether Rick was someone he identified with. If "they were on different paths", he would just kill Rick directly].

As for what the future will be like if things continue to change too much for humanity now, that is not something Chen Li considers.

As long as the world does not end, Chen Li would be happy to see some positive improvements in the human species.

Chen Li believed that Rick, who was able to make a vow not to kill anyone and not let anyone die, would definitely be an excellent leader.

The only advantage of a dictatorship is that if the leader is wise, it will also benefit civilization.

This means that as long as Chen Li can prevent Rick from dying, he can ensure that mankind will never deviate from its original intention.

So Chen Li was thinking about whether he should build a magical object for Rick that could allow him to command the entire human race forever and grant him immortality as long as he sat on it.

The shape of the strange object...making it into a golden toilet seems like a good idea.

It would be even better if this golden toilet could suppress something else, such as... suppressing the Old Gods?

Perhaps humans will use this opportunity to go beyond the world and into the stars.

If you add the machine soul...

Chen Li always felt that these settings combined seemed somewhat familiar.

"I need to think about whether to make humans into a celestial race," Rick said.

Rick thinks it would be a bit too presumptuous for one person to be able to make a decision that affects an entire race in just a few minutes.

"Of course, that's no problem. This is something we should consider after victory. After all, it takes time to spread the Blessing of Plenty to the entire human race. You might even have the opportunity to visit the Celestial Race and investigate in person. What about the Machine Soul Virus?"

"I don't think it's up to me to decide this." Rick shook his head.

Riku can indeed be a wise man who calculates everything, but when there is hope of victory, Riku does not want to involve the entire Ex-Machina race for his own selfish reasons.

"The only decision I can make is what to give you in return. You have helped us so much, what reward do you need?" Rick asked Chen Li.

"Winning the game."

"You want the Star Cup?" Rick understood.

This is not an excessive request, but a reasonable request.

Why would outsiders get involved in this war between the 16 races if not for the Star Cup? For fun?

"No, what I want is for you to use the six game rules you set to win the game called "Life." Chen Li shook his head.

【Game: Life】Entry extraction in progress...

Progress: 0/1 (witnessing the game's victory will increase your progress. Witnessing the game's perfect ending will increase the brightness of the entry)

"That's it?"

"If possible, can you let me take a bite of the Star Cup? I'll just take a bite, just a small one."

"I have no opinion."

"By the way, let me use the Star Cup again."

"What do you want to do now?" Rick was not questioning, but curious.

"If holding the Star Cup can make one omniscient and omnipotent, then I'm wondering... can I take a bite of this [world]. I'll just take a bite, a small bite." Chen Li pinched his fingertips "embarrassedly".

In a trance, Rick saw... the entire universe at Chen Li's fingertips!

Chapter 238 Chen Li: Glutton? How can he be considered glutton if he hasn't even eaten the world? (11k) "Rick, there's something wrong with the plan." Just as Rick was surprised by Chen Li's appetite, Rick's wife Hubie suddenly said to Rick.

"Something went wrong with the plan? Do you mean that because the battle between you and that Flügel just now attracted other people's attention, the remaining access control can't be put back to the original position?" Rick asked.

As smart as Rick is, he immediately thought of the unexpected factors that would affect the plan.

The original plan was to install 32 access control missiles (weapons that can direct all energy to distortion), but now only 24 have been installed. In addition, due to the battle and the gathering of multiple races there, the placement of access control missiles will be easily discovered, and the probability of fighting is extremely high.

After learning that the 16 races had launched a war for the Star Grail, which represented the throne of the omniscient and omnipotent God, Rick decided to lead humanity into this war. He spent a year carefully planning and trying to guide the wars between the other races. His goal was to make the other races simultaneously forced to use their ultimate weapons at a certain moment, and then use the access control arranged by Hubie to guide these forces to the core of the planet, thereby completely destroying the Elf Corridor and starting the manifestation of the Star Grail.

It makes sense that winning the Star Cup is the only way to stop this war.

"It's not just this problem. There's nothing wrong with the idea behind this plan, but the traffic control wasn't put in place as originally planned. And even if it was, the plan would have failed due to my miscalculation. If my original plan had been followed, the energy gathered from the ultimate weapons launched by multiple races would not have been able to be converged, and would have ultimately led to the destruction of this planet," Hubie said.

This result was calculated by the link commander Einzig after Hubie connected with the Ex-Machina race.

"..."

"But... guiding it to the southwest is feasible." A strange voice appeared in the cave.

Riku turned his head and saw a tall, hooded figure walking into the cave. Next to this figure, Jibril was flying in the air holding a large bowl, looking at this figure curiously.

"Here." Jibril handed the large bowl filled with black ash to Chen Li, and then observed the "person" who had just entered with great interest.

For Jibril, simply wearing a hood could not block her observation.

According to Jibril's observation, the individual before her was actually an Ex-Machina, and it seemed to be a hybrid...

It seems that this cave has welcomed a very big fish.
