High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

A day passed quietly, and Chen Mo stood up the moment his endless rage and resurrection armor cooldown ended.

After 24 hours of observation, Chen Mo still couldn't see any difference between the two passages.

But there were other gains as well.

For example, he could sense fluctuations similar to mental energy emanating from the two channels and then ascending along the 'elevator shaft'.

Moreover, mental energy is amplified several times after passing through this "elevator shaft," with the amplification increasing as you go higher.

Perhaps his brain was frozen, Chen Mo even began to suspect that this "elevator shaft" might be a signal amplifier.

Something like a cell tower?

Overthinking won't get things done; instead of hesitating, just pick one thing to delve into.

So what if I die? It's not a big deal.

Without thinking, Chen Mo crawled into the hole on the left, but before he could take two steps, he felt something in the shadows watching the spot where he had just passed.

Under the disguise of the demonic phantom, Chen Mo was completely invisible, but he would still leave a trace wherever he went.

"What is that...?"

Chen Mo frowned. He felt very uncomfortable being watched, but he couldn't find the thing watching him.

Since I can't find it, I might as well stop looking.

Fortunately, once he had air, Chen Mo regained control of his hearing and could hear an extremely faint buzzing sound.

The internal structure of Sky Island Zero does not appear to be complicated. Compared to the internal structures of other Sky Islands, the structure of Sky Island Zero can be described as rudimentary.

The passage Chen Mo is currently in slopes downwards, and he can feel himself going deeper and deeper into the moon.

But this feeling didn't last long; in less than two hours, Chen Mo stopped.

Looking at the six culture tanks filled with nutrient solution in front of him, Chen Mo couldn't help but swallow.

The six incubation tanks contained six humanoid creatures clad in steel armor, exactly the same figure that had killed Chen Mo with a single strike earlier!

"Three Heavenly Martial Realm experts, three Earthly Martial Realm experts..."

Chen Moxin was trembling. Could these be the six elders of the Celestial Race?

Suddenly, the nutrient solution in the six culture tanks was drained, and the six figures opened their eyes at the same time.

They did not exchange any words and remained motionless after emerging from the culture tank.

Immediately afterwards, a passage about the size of a person opened up in the ground in the center of the six culture tanks, and a light green culture tank rose up from below.

"......!!"

Chen Mo's eyes widened in disbelief. The culture jar contained half a brain covered with various electrodes!

Don't tell me that the AI ​​is actually a brain...

Chen Mo felt an itch in his head, as if it were about to split open.

"The AI's rational side remains under control, but the sealed-off emotional side has inexplicably awakened."

A hoarse voice rang out, and one of the six men, whose head bore the words "Tianwu," removed the steel armor from his arm.

The arm was covered in all sorts of scars, and... it didn't look like a human arm.

The fingertips were covered with round suction cups, from which semi-transparent threads extended and pierced into the half of the brain.

"We've been keeping an eye on it lately. That combat unit called 'Yangzuo' is defying the AI's hibernation command, and it seems to have sensed that a human has gone to Sky Island 001."

"The possibility is low. That ridiculous emotion could never break through the mental imprint left by the AI."

Another armored man with the words "Tianwu" above his head shook his head.

"Zero Five, the AI's records say you made your move on the Sky Island within the last forty-eight hours?"

"Yes, Zero One. A human with the ability to conceal his existence passed through the particle portal, and I have eliminated him."

Lingwu nodded, then stood aside without saying anything more.

"Passing through the particle portal is extremely unlikely, but not impossible." Zero One pondered for a moment, and finally injected some pale green liquid into the culture vessel containing half a brain.

"Continue to suppress the rationality lobe of the AI, and after it is completely suppressed, clear the data from the emotional lobe."

Zero One pressed two buttons on the control panel, and the culture vessel containing half a brain descended again.

"Continue to hibernate. 04, 05, 06, you will remain in semi-hibernation to deal with emergencies."

"Understood."

The three armored men with the words "Earth Warrior" above their heads nodded and returned to their incubation tanks.

"Zero Two, modify the holographic projection on the ground to enhance surveillance of Sky Island 001."

"Special variants have emerged among the Celestials; this is a normal phenomenon."

"Logically, special variants should be eliminated and recycled immediately, but that special variant 'Yang Zuo' is currently in human territory, so we cannot interfere too much."

"His gene provider, 'Kagerou,' has the same problem; if necessary, it should be eliminated and retrieved."

Zero One's voice was icy cold, as if he weren't talking about killing, but rather recycling scrap...

"I understand, but do we really not need to deal with the awakened sensory cortex of the AI?"

Ling Er voiced his doubts.

"I believe that the awakening of the emotional petal will have a counterproductive effect on the progress of things. My suggestion is to physically eliminate the emotional petal directly."
