When Xiao finished all his work, he let out a long sigh.
After a full month of day-and-night effort, the door of the quiet room finally slowly opened again.
At this moment, the Cybernetic Apostles waiting outside the door had been replaced by Pope Lana and a group of archbishops.
Each of them stared intently at Xiao, seemingly full of anticipation for something.
It was obvious that they had all felt the strong energy fluctuation generated by Xiao during his promotion, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder:
Could it be that the Holy Son had successfully developed a higher-level realm?
"I did not fail you."
Xiao's lips curled into a faint smile as he said softly.
"May the God of All Machines bless us, praise the Omnissiah!"
The Cybernetic Apostles cheered in unison, their faces beaming with immense surprise, their gazes burning as they stared at Xiao.
In fact, they had also been conducting in-depth research and exploration into the realm of the Mechanical Great Sage.
However, in the field of soul technology, the Mechanicus, apart from mastering some basic data about the Soul Killer, could be said to be completely clueless and at a loss.
Although Xiao had uploaded the soul transformation technology, due to the short amount of time, many Mechanical Sages, even after obtaining the most original data, were completely unable to understand its mysteries.
Now, in any case, the Holy Son had successfully completed the research and design of the Great Sage level, opening up a bright path for them once again.
It should be known that the Mechanical Great Sage not only brings powerful combat power enhancements,
the mere long lifespan of 1,300 to 1,600 years was enough to send them all into extreme excitement.
To become a Great Sage would undoubtedly make one a living human epic!
After all, the entire recorded history of human civilization so far is only a mere 2,077 years.
"We beg our teacher for blessings!"
At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Cult all knelt on one knee without hesitation, performing the disciple's salute before Xiao with the noblest and most devout posture, expressing their deepest respect.
"The power of the Mechanical Great Sage is different from previous material and energy levels; its power comes from the soul and mind, which is a powerful system that transcends the material and energy levels..."
Seeing this, Xiao sat down directly and began to explain in detail the key knowledge points and data models for promotion to Mechanical Great Sage,
in order for the Cybernetic Apostles to understand how to receive the power of the God of All Machines, how to condense the Golden Core, how to open the Heart Tribulation, what needs attention, and what pitfalls there are.
Xiao almost kneaded and chewed these complex soul knowledge before feeding it to them.
The light in the eyes of many Cybernetic Apostles became even brighter; they listened to Xiao's explanation with rapt attention, completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Some of the more insightful Cybernetic Apostles not only quickly absorbed the knowledge imparted by Xiao but also drew inferences from one example and constantly raised their hands to ask questions, refuting Xiao's theories and proposing their own views and insights.
Xiao was also very willing to communicate with them, because he knew that knowledge is generated through continuous expansion and debate.
No one can have absolute authority, not even the Omnissiah.
The Mechanicus is not a purely religious belief group, just as the Omnissiah once admitted that he was not an all-rounder.
True Cybernetic Apostles of the Mechanicus understand that God's abilities are also limited.
The doctrine has always encouraged Cybernetic Apostles to think actively, explore bravely, and pursue truth as the most important goal.
This open and inclusive academic atmosphere is the fundamental reason why the Mechanicus has achieved outstanding achievements in the field of technology.
Therefore, once different opinions arise, they will absolutely point them out without hesitation, rather than blindly following so-called mentor authority.
This lecture lasted for two and a half days.
Of course, the first day was all Xiao explaining, and then, as everyone gradually understood and mastered that knowledge, everyone began a lively academic discussion, putting forward various different opinions and ideas.
These truth-seeking believers would often argue fiercely over a certain topic, turning red in the face.
Of course, if the argument was truly unresolvable, they would temporarily set aside the topic and move on to the next debate.
As for the controversial points, they would all go back and conduct in-depth research, and once they had results, they would apply them to themselves.
The two sides would compete with their own technical strength to determine who was ultimately correct.
Sometimes, no matter how eloquent or skilled at debate one is, it cannot compare to the effectiveness of actual action.
The Mechanicus has always adhered to the principle of "the strong are respected" when dealing with academic issues.
After all, those gathered here are all people who can apply various scientific and technological knowledge to themselves and transform it into pure power.
Normally, they are more inclined to directly solve problems rather than argue verbally.
Only at the very beginning of academic development would they engage in such relatively inefficient debates.
Most of the time, the Mechanical Sages would absolutely act rather than babble, and would absolutely shut you up with a punch rather than engage in a verbal spar.
Xiao himself benefited greatly from this intense debate; the unique ideas of many Mechanical Sages greatly promoted the improvement of the Data Nascent Soul.
Among them, the most commendable was Herman himself; he, relying on his status as a Mechanical Sage, once ran rampant and domineered within the Cult.
But after enjoying brief power, he was quickly attracted by the broad and profound academic field of the Mechanicus and longed to delve deeper into the field of the soul.
Especially after obtaining Xiao's soul-space development technology, he gained a more substantial understanding of the soul and successfully opened his own soul space.
In fact, if Xiao had not first completed the design plan for the Nascent Soul, with Herman's talent and ability, he would have been very likely to become the most capable candidate among the Mechanical Sages to be promoted to Mechanical Great Sage.
And as the developer of the relic chip, Herman has extremely profound and unique insights into the condensation of the Data Nascent Soul.
He not only discovered many subtle details that even Xiao had not noticed but also proposed corresponding improvement technologies.
After practical verification, these technologies increased the computing speed of the Nascent Soul by about another tenth.
His great contribution directly earned him the rank of Chief Soul Master of the Mechanicus from Xiao.
And he was given a golden holy belt, the right to independently build a temple, and the right to establish a school of soul studies.
Herman thus became the Soul Archbishop, second only to the Pope, above tens of thousands of people.
