As for whether there would be a machine uprising—where the Sage King would betray Wu Tong, overthrow him, and seize power?
Wu Tong could only say: What a lovely thought, but absolutely impossible.
The Sage King wasn't some artificial intelligence. It was a skill deeply bound to Wu Tong, existing solely through him.
If Wu Tong died, the Sage King would vanish. But if the Sage King disappeared, Wu Tong wouldn't be affected in the slightest.
Given this, even with newfound sentience, the Sage King would serve Wu Tong wholeheartedly.
"Now that you've gained intelligence, it's time for a new name," Wu Tong said. "After this evolution, 'Sage King' no longer suits you."
"Understood. I await your designation, Master," the Sage King replied without objection.
"Then I'll call you 'Mind Brain'—short for 'Wisdom Brain.' It fits your functions, simple and clear."
Wu Tong, ever uncreative with names, realized the Sage King's abilities mirrored the supercomputers from sci-fi films. Hence, "Mind Brain" it was.
"This title pleases me. My thanks, Master."
The Sage King—now Mind Brain—had no complaints. To it, a name was merely a label. Its operations remained unchanged.
"Good, it's settled. Continue your report, Mind Brain."
Satisfied, Wu Tong motioned for it to elaborate on his transformations.
"Analysis complete. Your evolution comprises two key aspects. First, prior to your ascension, all abilities within the Wisdom Brain Martial Soul fused completely, perfecting the framework of your 'Heaven-Defying Comprehension' talent. This integration has merged with your true spirit, becoming an inseparable part of you."
"Second, after unification, the Wisdom Brain underwent Limitless Evolution, reaching inconceivable heights. Your goal has been achieved. Compared to your envisioned 'Heaven-Defying Comprehension,' only the data libraries remain to be acquired. In terms of hardware, you now surpass expectations."
Tears welled in Wu Tong's eyes. "After all this time… it's finally done. Now, all that's left is gathering the necessary knowledge."
"Mind Brain, how have your own capabilities changed?"
Curiosity struck him. If his brain had grown so formidable, what of the fused Mind Brain?
"Master, my functions were entirely repurposed to fill the 'Heaven-Defying Comprehension' framework during evolution. I am now an intelligent steward, assisting you in utilizing your talent—no independent abilities remain."
Wu Tong's eyes widened in realization. "So that's why my brain absorbed all those skills! You became the scaffolding for my talent."
"Can you still access those functions?"
Once a slacker, always a slacker. Having tasted the ease of automated cultivation, Wu Tong had no intention of returning to grueling manual training. Why grind when you can conquer?
"As your steward, I require authorization to reactivate prior functions," Mind Brain replied dutifully.
"Permission granted. Take full control of the 'Heaven-Defying Comprehension' system and manage my growth."
"By your will, Master."
With Wu Tong's decree, Mind Brain assumed command of the perfected cheat-like talent.
"Ahhh…" Wu Tong exhaled in relief. No more effort required. Truly, the slacker life chose me.
"Show me your limits, Mind Brain."
Heaven-Defying Comprehension—activate.
In moments, Wu Tong felt his mental processing power seamlessly overtaken by Mind Brain, which began executing preloaded Derivation plan with flawless precision.
System Log: Derivation Complete
Revival Coin Analysis: Success. Mastery achieved over resurrection mechanics, healing arts, limb regeneration…
Crimson Wheel Scripture + Nine Suns magical power Fusion: Success. Solar-ignition theory derived;Kung Fu perfected to 7th-stage.
Dimensional Veil Parsing: Success. Spacetime traversal protocols unlocked. Cross-world/time-axis navigation enabled.
"Holy—this is the power of cheating?!"
Wu Tong marveled as breakthroughs flooded in. No wonder everyone loves hacks. Problems that once stumped the Sage King now crumbled before the evolved Mind Brain.
"Proceed with all pending Derivation plan Simultaneously, access the Akashic Records of Douluo World and compile all historical knowledge."
Post-upgrade, Mind Brain's omniversal capabilities allowed direct interfacing with the world's foundational archives.
Task assigned, Wu Tong turned his focus inward.
He initiated the perfected Crimson Wheel Scripture, drawing ambient energy and Soul power into his body. Refinement and fusion commenced.
Soon, all 720 acupoints brimmed with pure Lesser Yang.
Peak Lesser Yang Realm—achieved.
But Wu Tong pressed onward.
The from his acupoints converged toward his dantian, condensing from mist to liquid during the journey. By arrival, only dozens of liquefied strands remained.
These flooded his dantian, expanding it to limit. Even his enhanced physique strained under the influx—until equilibrium struck.
His dantian had become an ocean. A raging crimson sea , packed with the combined might of 720 acupoints.
"Phase One: Complete."
Steadying himself, Wu Tong began compressing the oceanic energy—guided by Mind Brain's precision.
Sea → Lake → River → Stream → Spring…
With each compression, the liquid grew denser, viscosity intensifying exponentially.
