Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

But now, there's Lin Rui, a person with ambitious and ruthless desires, eyeing the 'Mechanical God'. With just a slight maneuver, he could lead the 'Mechanical God' to its end, creating the perfect opportunity to replace it.

The problem is that the will of the 'God of All Machines' is based on the inherent perception of 2.4 billion followers of the Mechanical Temple, leaving no room for others to intervene.

Lin Rui's actions are destined to be futile, merely paving the way for others.

No matter what hidden hands Lin Rui might leave within the Mechanical God's body, they cannot influence or interfere with the will born from the perceptions of 2.4 billion people.

Lin Rui chuckled, inscrutably: "I have my own methods for this matter, Mr. Tan, no need to worry about me."

Although this chief Great Celestial Master was supremely wise, the information he currently held was still a bit lacking.

Since the will of the 'God of All Machines' is shaped according to the 'perception' of its believers.

Then the perception of the 2.9 billion believers of the Light God Sect and the 700 million believers of the Light King Sect also constitutes 'perception'.

In the doctrines of both sects, the 'God of All Machines' of the Mechanical Temple is an angel under the command of the 'Supreme' and the 'King Ming'.

The power of these 3.6 billion people is in no way inferior to the Mechanical Temple.

Moreover, the believers of both sects, supported by Lin Rui's financial resources, are growing slowly, while the Mechanical Temple is not only decaying internally but also faction-ridden, with most of its believers being forced to believe in the 'God of All Machines'. How firm and devout could their faith be?

Therefore, as long as he can finish the new God of All Machines before the old 'Mechanical God' falls and replace it at the most appropriate time, that's all he needs to do.

According to the calculations of Heavenly Venerate Taixuan, this would at worst allow him to have a quasi-'Abyss Level' assistant while also helping him gain control over the powerful Divine Sect of the Mechanical Temple.

The gods of this era have been laying plans for this transcendent struggle for hundreds of years. Lin Rui, wanting to achieve a level of resistance against them within just a few years, can only be clever and take every possible shortcut.

Tan Shenzi's blue mechanical eyes flickered unpredictably, and after a full three seconds, he spoke again: "I didn't want to see the 'Mechanical God' half-alive in the past, eventually heading toward extinction, so I created a cultivation technique called the 'Ten Thousand Spirits Reflecting Divine Art', which can utilize the faith of all people to solidify the Primordial Spirit and True Spirit of the 'Mechanical God', enhancing and strengthening its Concept Divine Power. This cultivation method can even help you, the Lord of Purity, to resist the will of all beings.

I also have a set of array blueprints, the culmination of generations of the Great Celestial Masters of the Mechanical Temple, finally perfected by me, far superior to the arrays you designed. As long as you have enough materials, it can let your 'God of All Machines' master at least 95% of the Vajra and enhancement, 90% of order and precision, 85% of Divine Power and protection, and an unknown strength of 'mechanical', capable of controlling some mechanical devices and manufacturing.

Besides, although my past fusion with the Mechanical God failed, I acquired some new Source Essence and Source Core generated within the God of All Machines during the fusion process, and these things are still in my possession—"

Lin Rui couldn't help but squint slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed, in Tan Shenzi's skill list, there was this cultivation technique called 'Ten Thousand Spirits Reflecting Divine Art', and there was also another skill called 'Divine Diagram of All Machines'.

However, to replicate these two, apart from requiring cultivation to reach the Ninth Realm Divine Illumination and ten million soul power points, a Super Divine Envoy level soul is also required.

The Source Essence and Source Core that Tan Shenzi mentioned also intrigued Lin Rui greatly.

"You can use your divine artifact to copy the 'Ten Thousand Spirits Reflecting Divine Art' and the 'Divine Diagram of All Machines' from me, but it requires a great sacrifice, and it's impossible to obtain the Source Essence and Source Core of the God of All Machines from me."

Tan Shenzi looked intently at Lin Rui, his voice leisurely: "I can provide all these to you, to let you create a true 'God of All Machines'. However, the premise is that within half a year, you must build a fully mechanical body according to the standard of 'Extreme Longevity' for me, which the current technology of the Refinement Department of the Forest Group can fully achieve. Additionally, you have to prepare a set of array materials per my requirements to activate my soul."

"Mechanical body?" Lin Rui raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Actually, there's no need to go to such trouble, I've already been working on a way to rescue your Battle Dragon sealed in the Mechanical Temple."

Now, it's known that the cost of a type 9 combat robot already exceeds 100 billion federal coins, and if you want to upgrade it to SSS level, it would at least start at 160 billion.

From this, it's evident how costly a combat robot of 'Extreme Longevity' level would be.

Although at this level, the most challenging issue to solve is actually Conceptual Power, given that Tan Shenzi's soul can bypass this greatest issue, the cost would still be high, starting at a trillion at least.

The budget for the entirely new 'God of All Machines' that Lin Rui is preparing to build is as high as 5 trillion federal coins.

"Flesh is weak, divine machines are immortal, only in the pulse of steel and mechanism can we find truth and see eternity."

Tan Shenzi's voice was calm: "A mechanical body is the eternal pursuit of us believers of the Mechanical God. Now that I have this opportunity, how could I linger on flesh?"

Lin Rui squinted again, examining this 222nd chief Great Celestial Master of the Mechanical Temple. After a moment, he chuckled: "Alright, but you should know that a Longevity-level machine is very expensive. Metals capable of bearing the Extreme Longevity level are also scarce in this world. This is an unforeseen expenditure for me, you also need to strive to show value, try to earn more money, help me cover this budget."
