Chapter 683: Omniscient Spirit, Can’t Even Answer My Questions? Nice to Meet You Lil Ai

Inside the School of White Lotus.

Chu Kuangren was discussing with the White Lotus School Leader and the Immemorial Sage on how to deal with the Fire G.o.d Cult and other religious orthodoxies. However, Chu Kuangren’s ambitions did not stop there. Not only did he want to defeat these religious orthodoxies but their G.o.ds too!

He wanted to destroy the G.o.ds’ plan of gathering the people’s Power of Faith!

The easiest way for him to do that was to become everyone’s symbol of faith. This way, the G.o.ds would not have any chance to gain the people’s Power of Faith.

“Very well, it’s decided then. ”

“We shall do it tomorrow.”

Chu Kuangren said to everyone.

However, he seemingly thought of something when he was about to leave, so he turned around and asked. “If I were to be a G.o.d, I’d got to have a symbolic name, right?”

The Immemorial Sage and White Lotus School Leader looked at each other.

“It seems so. Having a good name will enable it to be deeply rooted in the people’s heart.”

“How about the True Black Heaven G.o.d? Does it sound good?”

Chu Kuangren said while touching his chin.

Then, he went with that decision right away. “Let’s go with True Black Heaven G.o.d then.”

Since he came from the Black Heaven Sect, he should be known as the True Black Heaven G.o.d.

“If that’s the case, let’s change our orthodoxy’s name to Black Heaven School then.” The Immemorial Sage proposed. “The School of White Lotus’s reputation has already been dragged into the mud by now. We’ve lost countless followers and disciples because of that. Since we’re building a new religion, we might as well start from the ground up. What do you think, Supreme Elder?”

The White Lotus School Leader wanted to speak but stopped after Chu Kuangren did not reject the Immemorial Sage’s decision. “Sure, of course.”

“Let’s go ahead with this for now.”

Chu Kuangren turned around and left. After leaving the great hall, he looked into the full moon in the sky and could not help getting a little emotional. “To think I used to push all the responsibilities and tasks to everyone else just not to become the Black Heaven Sect Leader. Yet now, I’ve gone and volunteered myself to become some True Black Heaven G.o.d. Wow. I’ve changed too much ever since, too much indeed.”

Although he thought that the role was troublesome, he was willing to take it on.

Sometimes, people were destined to do certain things.

However, since no one could do these things, he would do it!

“I hope you won’t disappoint, fellow G.o.ds.”

Chu Kuangren looked into the distance and murmured.

…

Inside the great hall.

The White Lotus School Leader looked a little troubled.

However, the Immemorial Sage beside her seemed to know what she was thinking and said, “Are you unhappy with my decision to change the School of White Lotus’s name?”

The White Lotus School Leader shook her head and replied, “I wouldn’t dare. It’s just that… By changing the School of White Lotus to the Black Heaven School, our beliefs and faiths will be completely gone.”

“As I said earlier, the School of White Lotus School is only a name. However, the teachings of the School of White Lotus can be pa.s.sed on and taught in another way through the Black Heaven School. That was why I decided to change it.”

“Besides, you’ve seen how powerful our Supreme Elder is. If we truly want to survive in such a perilous era, we’ll need to stick with him.” Said the Immemorial Sage slowly.

The White Lotus School Leader nodded slightly. “I understand now.”

After going back to his room, Chu Kuangren was resting with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind.

“Greetings, Master.”

He could not tell whether that was a man’s or a woman’s voice.

Chu Kuangren quickly opened his eyes. “Who are you?”

“I’m the upgraded Eye of Revelation’s divine power. You can refer to me as the Omniscient Spirit.” That mysterious voice continued speaking.

“Oh.” Chu Kuangren’s interest was piqued. “The Eye of Revelation has gained a will of its own after the upgrade. This is quite a surprise.”

“All of this was bestowed by you, Master.”

Chu Kuangren said no more.

He subconsciously activated his Eye of Revelation. However, an introduction about the Omniscient Spirit appeared in his mind instead.

Omniscient Spirit, transcendent divine power.

That divine power could connect to the consciousness of the universe, gain all the information within it, and help the user a.n.a.lyze everything there was in the universe.

Chu Kuangren stroked his chin in suspicion.

‘Obtain every piece of information from the universe?’

‘a.n.a.lyze every being in the universe?’

‘Why does it sound so mysterious?’

“Omniscient Spirit, a.n.a.lyze the Fantasy Roulette for me.”

“Apologies, Master. That item is beyond the scope of this universe’s laws.”

“Then, do you know what an Immortal is?”

“Apologies, Master, I do not know.”

“What about the G.o.ds? Do you know how many of them there are?”

“Apologies, Master, I do not know.”

Chu Kuangren was speechless.

‘Refund!’

‘I demand a refund now!’

“You can’t even answer what I asked you, and you call yourself the Omniscient Spirit?”

“Here’s a reminder, Master. A specific target or object is required when using the Omniscient Spirit for a.n.a.lysis. Because a specific target or object was not established, I could not conduct my a.n.a.lysis.”

The Omniscient Spirit explained.

“I see.”

Chu Kuangren turned silent for a while. He then opened his palm, where an incredibly mysterious Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern could be seen swirling on it.

“a.n.a.lyze the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern!”

“Omniscient Spirit, activated… Connecting to the universe’s consciousness… Connection established. Beginning a.n.a.lysis on target object…”

Suddenly, the Firmament Star’s Heavenly Dao trembled for a moment.

Having sensed something, all of the great ones in the Firmament Star sent forth their Emperor Thoughts to find out. However, after searching the whole Firmament Star, they could not find anything out of the ordinary.

All of them were puzzled for a while.

Meanwhile, inside the School of White Lotus.

Chu Kuangren had no idea what kind of commotion he had caused by using the Omniscient Spirit to a.n.a.lyze the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern.

The moment he started a.n.a.lyzing the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern, an ocean of information flooded his mind, and all of it was related to the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern. These were very helpful for him to study the subject.

A while later.

His understanding of the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern was increased to another level.

“Alright, let’s stop here for now.”

Chu Kuangren disconnected the Omniscient Spirit’s connection to the universe’s consciousness.

There was just too much information about the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern. This included the other beings who had control over the same Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern in other planets, what the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern should be used for, which Heavenly Dao it came from, and more.

Chu Kuangren could almost explode due to the sheer amount of information that was pouring into him. He reckoned that he would need a few days at least to digest what he had learned so far.

“In other words, this Omniscient Spirit is quite useful.”

Chu Kuangren murmured.

“Thanks for the praise, Master.”

The Omniscient Spirit answered calmly in a non-binary voice.

“Um, can you change your voice?”

“Do you have any specific requests, Master?”

“Just change it, and I’ll decide whether I like it or not.”

“Yes, of course, Master. Does this voice sound okay to you?”

The Omniscient Spirit replied in a loli(TN: A “Loli” refers to young and usually underage girls with a childlike appearance, also a type of j.a.panese media and subculture in and of itself.)-like voice.

“Ahem… This voice is fine, but let’s change to another and see.”

“What about this?”

It replied in a cold, robotic male voice this time.

“Sounds too cold, so no. Change to another one.”

“Then, what about this, Master?”

This time, it replied in a mature lady’s voice, which sounded deep and husky.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. “Alright, I’ll go with this. Also, why don’t I give you a name as well? Let’s call you… Lil Ai (TN: “Ai” is a reference to AI, short for artificial intelligence, since Chu Kuangren’s divine power had a mind of its own, like Friday from Ironman but more powerful and broken.).”

The Omniscient Spirit did not know what to reply.

The next day.

Inside a city in the Barren Cloud Prefecture.

In the Fire G.o.d Cult’s holy temple.

A group of devout followers was gathered there for prayer.

“Our Fire G.o.d Cult wors.h.i.+ps the Venerable G.o.d of Fire. As you all know, the discovery of fire marks the true beginning of our civilization. The G.o.d of Fire is one of the strongest G.o.ds in this world, with a thousand six hundred and sixty-one Subordinate G.o.ds serving beneath him…”

“By putting our faith in the G.o.d of Fire, our souls shall be cleansed by the divine fire. When the time comes for us to depart from this world, our souls shall not fall into the cycle of rebirth. Instead, we’ll arrive at the Sacred Kingdom of Fire to be with our G.o.d once and for all…”

An elderly man in red robes holding a fiery red scepter was preaching the benefits of joining the Fire G.o.d to his followers, causing many of them to yearn for what he said.

“How can a mere false G.o.d who can’t even protect himself prevent his followers from falling into the cycle of rebirth?! What a joke!”
