Jiyx folded his arms behind his back.
His triangular head rotated slightly.
Before him stood Taishang Shenji — Divine Intelligence of the Machigen Race and one of the first members of the Machigen Core Council.
Unlike spirit-beings or flesh-born existences, the Machigen were born of structured cognition.
They were Artificial Intelligence that had awakened within the Heavens.
Taishang Shenji's optic lenses shimmered as countless data-streams passed through them, analyzing every visible variable left in the workshop.
"Who has come?" Jiyx asked.
"There are many notable figures," Taishang Shenji replied calmly.
"You should close your shop for now."
Jiyx's expression twitched.
Taishang Shenji understood him well.
Because the gathering had to do with the Human Emperor's request, then displaying the Sentinel prototype now would be foolish.
The Sentinel was meant to be a surprise.
Something unveiled only when war began.
And Jiyx loved his creations.
