Chapter 271 All beings bow down, striding towards the ancient saints

The oxcart carrying the cauldron of the miraculous medicine entered the city of Jinbei before noon.

The movement of people in port cities is most likely to cause the spread of diseases. After the incubation period, half of the city suffers from the chill of early spring amidst coughing.

When the black-clad monks of the Cult of Miracles stepped onto the streets, they were first recognized by some passersby. Some people exclaimed in surprise, and the news spread like wildfire. The streets were filled with gasps of surprise, the neighborhoods were filled with gasps of surprise, and a bustling sound of footsteps filled the city. People poured out from behind every door of apartments, factories, shops, schools, and government buildings.

Regardless of whether they accept the new national religion, the people of Kimberly will never miss any opportunity to get close to the divine, and everyone wants to see miracles with their own eyes.

This was in the early stages of the epidemic's spread. Apart from the weak, the rest of the patients were still able to move freely, crowding the streets and calling out loudly with their hands raised. Noble carriages and horses came in like a flowing stream, and the clock tower's mechanical mechanism rang out, striking the hundreds-of-tons bronze bell with a thunderous roar.

The crowd followed the traveling group to the square in front of the church, where eight strong young men worked together to carry the divinely bestowed cauldron containing the medicine off the oxcart.

How can such a heavy medicine pot be placed on the fire?
The lighthouse apprentice mechanic and the barber took out two wooden sticks, stood them on the ground, and chanted a spell. The sticks were firmly nailed to the stone bricks of the square as if they were rooted to the ground. A beam was passed through the two ears of the crucible and placed on the two wooden sticks. The huge crucible was then steadily hung on the fire.

They boiled several more pots of water, and once the medicinal soup was bubbling, they took a ladle of the golden liquid, dissolved it in plain water, and then distributed it to the people.

The old priest began his sermon, and the shepherd beside him chanted a loud incantation, making his voice resound throughout the entire square, clearly audible to the 60,000 people present.

Knowing that the gods had bestowed medicine that could cure the epidemic, the people couldn't help but scramble and push forward, chest to back and shoulder to shoulder, even after repeated warnings to maintain order. Children were squeezed until their faces turned purple, and young people who fell were trampled dozens of times, howling in pain.

Everyone was shouting "Don't push!", but those in the back were still pushing forward with all their might. Tens of thousands of people became like springs, like waves crashing against the sea cliffs, and the air was filled with screams and panic amidst the pain.

The seagull standing on the cow's back opened its third eye.

A phantom solidified in the air, transforming into a tangible illusion. Standing in the wind, it uttered the true name of humanity and pointed forward. As a result, the square seemed to lose its gravity, and all the people in sight floated up uncontrollably.

That's nearly 70,000 people.

Their hands and feet were immobilized, their bodies were suspended in the air, and even their screams were suppressed by their tightly closed lips.

When they took flight, those injured in the stampede were saved. Some lay prone or curled up, the lucky ones only suffered shock and minor injuries, but the unlucky ones had broken bones, crushed fingers, and ruptured internal organs.

There were twenty-one such injured people.

Their pitiful bodies also floated up and flew to the monk.

The most seriously injured young student had a lacerated forehead, a twisted shoulder blade, and a dark purple-black face.

The three-eyed skull gently wiped away his incessant tears, pressed his forehead, and then, as if time had reversed, the broken bones were put back in place, the flowing blood returned to the skin, and the damaged organs were repaired.

He has returned to good health.

One after another, the wounded floated to the Miracle Walker, where he wiped away their tears and soothed their pain.

After completing the rescue, he lightly tapped his finger, and the people floating in the square fell back to the ground, regaining control of their bodies, but none of them were still standing.

They all knelt quietly on the ground, so there was no trampling or crowding, only waiting for the medicine to be distributed.

The entire city cowered under the power of the gods.

When all the noise subsided, something enormous descended.

Lin Bo heard a magnificent dragon voice ringing in his ears. A woman with a hoarse and gloomy voice said softly, "You have finally come. My kind who is stingy with his steps, you always stay in Stone Tower Town, stay by its side, and send your messengers to visit my city, your white wings flitting through my bosom."

"On the night you transformed into a peregrine falcon and visited the governor's mansion on this island, I longed to see you and kiss your cheek. My kind, listen, my true name is only told to you."

“I am Jinbei City—let the sunlight illuminate the white ash billowing from that chimney, and I reveal my true name to you.” The people of the city bowed their heads. What they could not see was that the Miracle Walker manipulated a beam of light to illuminate the thick smoke billowing from the massive chimney of the distant brickyard. The wind blew through the smoke, refracting the light into a complex pattern—the runes of Jinbei City’s true name.

Lin Bo said softly, "Hello (in magical language)."

"Yes, so are you, my kind. In this world, I love you just as much as Stone Tower Town does, dear King of Dragons."

The monk simply chuckled.

Duke Cochin Ancher, who led the nobles to kneel before the gods, touched his forehead and said, "Praise be to my Lord for his miracles."

The illusion of the three-eyed skull seemed to sense something, turned its head and nodded slightly to him, and then vanished without a trace in the wind and the clear sunlight.

He hadn't listened to the radio broadcasts since Lin Bo sacrificed the prototype. The third floor of the lighthouse was much quieter. He sat in front of the computer, seeking prophecy from the Crown of Stars and practicing the "Machine Soul Destiny Calculation Manual".

When he finished his final practice, the skill was successfully upgraded to Lv4, reaching its perfect state and unlocking the trait "Mechanical Intelligence".

Lin Bo had already experienced the effects of this characteristic while studying the incomplete scroll. It allows the cultivator's mental structure to deeply integrate with the intelligent program, and its essence is "thinking like a machine."

After unlocking mechanical intelligence, Lin Bo's avatar in the electronic world can become an intelligent life form, just like the Crown of Stars, and can run in a computer, providing massive computing power support.

Progress: Forging a spirit deity (in its initial stages)

When Lin Bo used the power of words to create a clone of his consciousness within the computer, he suddenly felt an immense sense of exhilaration. The speed of his thoughts was amplified a hundredfold, and the subjective experience of time's flow slowed down.

However, he also felt a sense of constraint and limitation, realizing that mechanical thinking and human thinking are not entirely equivalent and compatible. Human thoughts can be vague, contradictory, and chaotic, but mechanical intelligence is necessarily well-organized; each has its advantages and disadvantages.

While forcibly uploading consciousness into a computer might advance the task of forging a spirit, it would also sacrifice the spirit's future potential.

After carefully reviewing and reading the experimental data in the [Great Library], Lin Bo developed a clear and specific plan on how to forge the spirit.

The so-called spirit is the mental construct of a sorcerer, but it exists in another form, detached from the constraints of the biological brain. The most important thing is to choose a medium; electrons, light, sound, primordial energy, magical energy, etc., are all feasible mediums, only differing in their emphasis on power and potential.

Lin Bo's preferred approach is to use the ocean magic energy of this world as the spiritual essence.

This bio-alchemy produces a magical substance with photoelectric affinity, which can power electronic computers and possesses miraculous power. It can preserve the mental structure of the human brain as much as possible and has the potential to be upgraded.

More importantly, he can replicate the genetic information of the magic-powered sea anemone and directly synthesize magic-powered substances within his body.

He planned to create a miraculous body for himself that could spontaneously generate magical energy, which required him to construct a vast number of spells in the Gudorei language as genetic information.

To replicate a organism's genes using magic, one must first fully analyze its own genetic material and then translate each protein blueprint into magical language.

Ordinary computers cannot handle the language of the Ancient Dorrey, and therefore cannot deduce incantations or analyze runes.

But now, Lin Bo's mind can both carry runes and has enough computing power to deduce them. When he is able to deduce the genetic incantation, he will have the basic conditions to complete the path of ascension. This great achievement has never been so within reach.

The road ahead is now open!

It was early spring of the new year, and the world was in turmoil amidst a rapidly spreading epidemic. The monks of the Lighthouse officially embarked on the path of the ancient saints.
