"If you enter the Incubator, it equates to being remade. The physiological changes in the Cave People will alter the entire group's survival method. In that case, it merely increases a completely new species, but it's of no immediate benefit to us."

"As a wise people, we believe that we should trust ourselves, trust the accumulation of knowledge and experience of our group. Natural evolution is proceeding at just the right speed for us to continually accumulate and transform through generations."

"From the perspective of group dignity, we do not wish to be remade either."

"Please allow us to refuse."

Dong's words awakened Zhou Yi.

I have been somewhat opportunistic.

Indeed.

The Incubator is a super culture vessel for breeding new species, and this is its purpose.

Electric cats, Killer Rats, Artificial Golden Elephants, and long-necked crocodiles were all born as hybrid monsters in this way.

Zhou Yi understood as well.

Leave professional matters to the professionals; let Qing Liu, the operator, decide how to use this thing in the future.

The urgent matter is to figure out what the Incubator is all about and why it gave birth to the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms.

On this point, Qing Liu provided a clear answer: "Cultivator, I have confirmed it. The so-called God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms is the self-awareness born from the Incubator."

"Originally, it shouldn't exist because the Nerve Membrane ensures the Consciousness is not polluted by external sources, completely isolating and sending each into every embryo."

"However, the disruption within the Incubator stems from internal disorder and functional problems... Last time, I took the prototype Biological TV from here, disrupting the existing incubation processes. Additionally, the electric cat responsible for isolating the outer world and preventing pollution in the Nerve Membrane decreased to only 5%."

"At this point, it was still manageable, only causing localized spasms internally..."

"But the Artificial Sun cleared the Circular Flow, making large areas of the Dead Sea disappear. The absorbable energy of the Circular Flow around the Incubator shrunk to about 30% compared to before. It's a biological entity sustained by Circular Flow energy, and now the energy contraction has resulted in serious disorder and dysfunction in the three major organizations."

"These series of internal and external causes eventually led to the Incubator being polluted."

"The shell of the Forbidden Continent—that is, the consciousness fragments released by the local residents—penetrated massively, forming a Consciousness in the Incubator, which is the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms."

"Unlike previously pure Consciousness, this polluted Consciousness has a strong initiative and purpose, and has become very intelligent, activating the original functions of the Incubator."

"Its simple goal is to capture many consciousnesses and fill the gaps in the Warm Nests left open in those Biological TVs. The residents of the Forbidden Continent don't meet the requirements and aren't the target consciousness."

"Thus, it transfers and implants consciousnesses through New Humans, projecting into the New World."

"So, the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms is indeed an abnormal Consciousness born out of pollution."

Zhou Yi found himself speechless.

It turns out that the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms was also a result of the company's remodeling of the world, producing abnormal outcomes.

The electric cat is indeed a crucial part of the entire system.

He couldn't resist asking: "Then why didn't the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms enter the Great Holy Spirit, and instead find the New World? There's no record of its appearance in the Great Holy Spirit. Why is this?"

"Because of the Old Humans."

"Its primary goal is to track the Old Humans, prioritizing the reintegration of the 1,060,000 Old Humans who fled abroad into the Biological TVs, which led it to the New World."

Qing Liu said: "However, after capturing some Old Humans, it also began to gradually absorb New Humans, as the number of Old Humans is insufficient. Its purpose is to fully fill up the previous 800 million consciousnesses."

Zhou Yi: "..."

"So what about self-proclaiming as the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms?"

"It's very intelligent. You can think of it as the Incubator—or a micro Great Holy Spirit of the Forbidden Continent. By disguising itself as a deity, it entered the New World and promised its believers an upgrade of their bodies, granting them powerful life as assurance."

Qing Liu explained the operational method of the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms in great detail.

This consciousness born out of pollution indeed converts bodies, turning ordinary New Humans directly into Killer Rats, Biological TVs... Most people would choose to become a TV. Although they can't go out, there's always a bit of hope for rescue."

"[There is no poverty, no work, no aging, no death, everyone is the master of the world here.]"

"[Everyone will have their kingdom.]"

These two slogans aren't exactly lies either.

Encasing people inside TVs indeed prevents death, giving each their kingdom, just like Old Humans trapped in endless cycles of memory prisons.

Only a few believers, greedy or sincerely trusting the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms, are used as media by the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms to operate in the New World, helping them acquire wealth which can be used for buying homes, settlement, and obtaining much wealth in the New World.

These followers spread the deity's likeness and transmit more consciousnesses through the likeness to Meat Mountain as performance results.

Recruits of 10 people equal a value of 10 new coins from the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms, allowing body transformation to possess a brand new TV body and freely enter and exit Meat Mountain.

Recruits of 100 people can even choose to become a Killer Rat's form.

Recruits of 1000 people may even choose to be transformed into an electric cat and operate in the world.

A small group became zealous followers of the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms because following this Evil God made money quickest and could allow them to shed their flesh and bone, becoming a more powerful life form.

"... The general situation is like this."

Qing Liu asked: "Cultivator, should we reset its chaotic consciousness now? Once reset, erasing it—and this Incubator's Consciousness will disappear. Subsequent checks and purges won't pose any problems."

Zhou Yi pondered for a while: "Is this God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms thoroughly chaotic or does it have self-control ability?"

"Although it is pieced together from consciousness fragments, normal consciousness attributes are all present in it."

"It's just that its initial state originated from the criminals among the residents of the Forbidden Continent, thus the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms possesses strong destructive urges and desires to invade."

Qing Liu bluntly said: "It instinctively tends toward chaos, plunder, and control. That's why it takes on the name of God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms and captures residents everywhere in the New World, and invades and pollutes the new coins issued by other deities."

Clearly.

The God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms is inherently of no benefit to the company's development.

But.

Any character and ability have areas for deployment.

For example.

Zhou Yi proposed: "If the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms plays a role in capturing the Heavenly People's consciousnesses, does this have potential? Can the Heavenly People's consciousness be polluted or infiltrated into their sealed consciousness system..."

Qing Liu thought for a long time this time: "Mechanically speaking, the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms is chaotic consciousness, with viral-like capacity for expansion, dissemination, pollution and assimilation, theoretically effective. It's just that currently, we haven't discovered the consciousness channels towards the Heavenly People. It's always them contacting us for dialogue... Hence the consciousness form and structure of the Heavenly People are still unknown."

Zhou Yi's eyes brightened: "No matter. This can be taken slowly. For now, you restrain and manage the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms, turning it into the company's consciousness hacker or to say the Great Holy Spirit Virus. Can this be done?"

"It can be done. Since I control the main body of the Incubator, I can issue direct commands to it."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Then train it well for future use when needed."

"Yes, Cultivator!"
