My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2172: Chapter 2140: Calculation Core

After swallowing a few Pills, Li Chen restored his nearly dried-up body a little and slowly steadied himself.

Because he obtained the Divine Skills of Endless Sea of Blood directly from Blood Saint’s inherited memories, for him it completely省去了 the "learning" process; he could use it straight away, which is a benefit nothing else can compare to.

Even this alter ego could smoothly unleash Endless Sea of Blood, and the moment it was displayed, it possessed such tremendous power that this Divine Skill truly was terrifying to the extreme.

He walked forward step by step to the side of the five who had fallen out of the Blood Sea.

They hadn’t managed to survive by enduring the Divine Skills of Endless Sea of Blood; it was that Li Chen had spared their lives.

At this moment, the Energy in these few people’s bodies was only about on the level of Yellow Rank; don’t even mention resisting, they couldn’t even support their bodies enough to stand up.

After all, the land Levels in the Heaven Realm are not low. Even to run requires Profound Level Cultivation as support.

This is also why the children born in the Heaven Realm are all Innately not weak.

Likewise, this is the main reason why the residents of the Four Great Realms look down on people of the Lower Realm.

In the Lower Realm, Profound Level already counts as a decent expert.

But in the Heaven Realm, at Profound Level you’d be panting for breath after just a few steps of running; to be able to sprint freely you at least need Earth-level Cultivation. Here, any random kid rolling around on the ground has Profound Level Cultivation, slightly stronger ones directly have Earth Level, and there are even some at Heavenly Level. How can people from the Lower Realm compare to those of the Four Great Realms?

Right now, the condition of these five was even worse than those kids rolling all over the ground.

"If I ask you questions, will you answer me?" Li Chen looked at the few of them and asked.

"We cannot." Number One shook his head very straightforwardly. "There are encryption programs in our cores. Without the proper permissions, we cannot answer any of your questions."

"But aren’t you answering my question right now?" Li Chen’s expression was half-smile, half-not.

"This is a question outside the permission scope." Number One said with dead seriousness.

His expression was calm, without the slightest awareness of being a prisoner.

Or rather, not long ago they had already prepared themselves to become sacrifices.

"That’s fine too. I’ll just ask you some questions outside your permission scope, how about it?" Li Chen said.

The several members of the Mechanical Race fell silent together.

"What do you think of this world, this Starry Universe? Is it beautiful?" Li Chen asked a completely unrelated question.

"Very beautiful." At this moment, the one who had been filled with doubt about this mission ever since entering the Sea Edge Realm spoke up.

He was one of the members of this operation, codename Number Three.

"What is the world where your Civilization resides like?" Li Chen asked.

"Permission restriction. I cannot answer that question."

"Alright, then I’ll change the way I ask. Compared to this world, how is the world you see?" Li Chen asked again.

"This place is more beautiful." Number Three said very bluntly. "The Starry Universe is countless times better than the place where we currently live."

"Then why did you enter the Starry Universe, and why did you come to trample on this beauty?" Li Chen asked somewhat gravely.

Number One shook his head and said slowly, "It’s not that we want to trample on this beauty. It’s just that, no matter how beautiful it is, it’s only a part of life, and the premise of life is survival. And we... need to survive."

"For your survival, you can disregard the survival of others?" Li Chen gave Number One a cold look.

Number One’s gaze was indifferent. "If we must choose between our own survival and the survival of some unrelated people, we can only choose ourselves."

Hearing this, Li Chen also fell silent.

Indeed, if it were him, perhaps he would make the same choice.

It’s just that a viewpoint is a viewpoint, and a stance is a stance.

As a member of the Starry Universe, no matter how much he understood these Era-Ancient Civilization people, he could not change the fact that they stood on an opposing side.

"Do you realize that what you’re saying makes it very easy for me to feel like killing you?" Li Chen looked at Number One and said slowly.

"We know." Number One nodded. "But since the mission has already begun, we no longer have any other choice. Driven by the core program, we can only carry out the mission resolutely. If the mission fails, we die. If we flee the battlefield, we die. Or rather, if we accidentally draw out some Top-level Powerhouse of the Starry Universe, the only outcome is still death."

Hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but shake his head. These people were rather miserable.

But as a Mechanical Race, driven and controlled by programs, perhaps this is the most correct development model for them?

Yet having developed to the level the Mechanical Race had reached today, they still unavoidably touched upon the eternal topic of "life" and "survival."

Thinking of this, Li Chen suddenly felt it all somewhat dull.

"In the end, can I ask you for one thing?" At this moment, Number Three suddenly looked at Li Chen. He knew that when Li Chen lost interest was the moment their lives would end.

"I can give you my core operation code, but on one condition: can you bury my core outside?" Number Three said.

"Number Three, you... this falls within the scope of betrayal." Number One said in a deep voice.

Number Three’s face was expressionless, but his voice carried a hint of bleakness. "Betrayal? Are we betraying, or have we been betrayed? Our homeland was originally this Universe; we were merely expelled from it. And now, we who were driven out have also been abandoned by our own Race. For us, is there really anything left that’s worth betraying?"

"Some living beings speak of fallen leaves returning to their roots. From the moment they chose to abandon us, that place of the Mechanical Civilization ceased to be our roots. So, I want to die on my true homeland." Number Three said slowly.

Li Chen nodded. "Alright, I agree."

With a wave of his hand, Li Chen slew the five Mechanical Race powerhouses, and in his hand there appeared an Energy core.

This was the core operation code that Number Three had mentioned.

Don’t underestimate this small block of operation code. It not only contains part of the structural system of this generation of Number Three of the Mechanical Race, but also stores a great deal of weapon data.

It could even be said that as long as Li Chen had sufficient ability, he could completely use these codes to mass-produce new, powerful technological weapons.

Perhaps even that Planet-Destroying Level Great Sword they had taken out earlier would be no problem.

Of course, for Li Chen, who had already resolved to use the strengthening of himself as the standard, he had little interest in studying this sort of thing.

"Decrypt it."

Inside Li Chen’s minor world, his alter ego handed the core to the people of the Palace of the Nether King.

"Boss, what is this thing?" Catherine couldn’t help but ask.

Li Chen revealed a mysterious smile and glanced at Alice beside him. "I think this should be the key for our Palace of the Nether King to rapidly grow strong in the Heaven Realm and establish our footing."
