    Chapter 501: Starry Sky No. 1

    Using the Enlightenment Tea tree, Bodhi tree, and Intelligence Snail as a base, Mu Lin successfully created the Starry Sky Brain through hybridization with the powers of life. This biological smart brain could deduce various laws with thousandfold efficiency.

    However, Mu Lin still found this too slow. After creating the Starry Sky Brain, he did not stop there.

    Using the original Starry Sky Brain as a foundation, Mu Lin cloned three thousand more units through his powers of life and boundless magical energy. He then connected these cloned brains in series with the original as the core, ultimately forming a massive Starry Sky Brain server.

    The completed server’s calculation speed wasn’t merely thousands of times faster than ordinary practitioners’, but millions of times greater.

    While this processing speed seemed extraordinary, it made logical sense. In his previous life, humanity’s supercomputers could perform hundreds of billions of calculations per second – numbers beyond human comprehension and realms unattainable by flesh-and-blood beings. Mu Lin’s Starry Sky Brain server still fell far short of those achievements.

    However, as biological smart brains, Mu Lin’s creation possessed unique advantages. Previous supercomputers could only process data, but the Starry Sky Brains contained infused soul factors granting basic wisdom and instincts. Though life-created beings couldn’t naturally develop souls, Mu Lin had purified soul fragments and implanted them into cloned bodies.

    Souls brought wisdom, and wisdom brought initiative. To Mu Lin’s surprise, after gaining intelligence, she began offering suggestions while executing his commands:

    "Father God, Star Spirit No. 1 requests permission to establish a grand library."

    "Pure theoretical calculation isn’t optimal for deducing the five elements… Studying predecessors’ cultivation methods will accelerate analysis of the Five-Color Divine Light."

    "Moreover, I require sensory organs to properly perceive the world’s five elements. My second priority involves developing observation eyes and data-gathering tendrils…"

    Mu Lin bestowed the name Star Spirit No. 1 upon this sentient creation. Her addressing him as Father God stemmed naturally from his status as God of Life – all his creations inherently became his children. This bond also ensured their loyalty.

    "At least I’m not like Zeus…"

    Finding Star Spirit No. 1’s requests reasonable, Mu Lin readily agreed:

    "I’ll order Yunyu to gather cultivation methods from all sects. For world observation, use my Substitute Paper Figure here. Connect to it and activate my Gazing at the Heavens ability – this should provide optimal perception."

    "Acknowledged, Father. Star Spirit No. 1 will work diligently."

    With Star Spirit No. 1’s assistance, Mu Lin’s workload dramatically decreased. She helped deduce not only the Five-Color Divine Light but also other Root Words. She even aided in perfecting his growing divine body.

    Through their collaboration, the Five Organs Nurturing Spirit Tree became integrated into The Giant of Light’s body. The giant now possessed five elemental hearts that granted Mu Lin five powerful innate techniques. While valuable, these techniques mattered less than their true purpose – forming the foundation for his desired Five-Color Divine Light through these five-element organs.

    Within the Time Secret Realm, Mu Lin’s experiments and cultivation progressed smoothly. Outside, his disciples were successfully gathering cultivation methods across the land.

    Actually, if it were just about being a True God, Mu Lin might not have gathered all cultivation methods.

    The Xuanling world had other True Lords besides him, and they wouldn’t let him act unchecked.

    But he possessed divine fruits. When these gene-enhancing fruits emerged, everyone – northerners, southerners, humans, foreign races – went wild.

    Especially since Mu Lin released multiple divine fruits, driving them to utter frenzy.

    "Golden Holy Fruit grants a body that purifies all foreign energies… With this, even tainted evil spirit zones become accessible."

    "Purification doesn’t just boost combat power. Our spiritual power gets refined, we can absorb corrupted energies, and our divine bodies self-evolve."

    "True, but the five-element ethereal spirit surpasses that. Everything follows the five elements’ cycle. This physique lets us master all worldly arts. Control elemental interactions, and no enemy can best us."

    "Nonsense! Golden Holy Body reigns supreme. What use are countless spells when my purification cleanses everything?"

    Debates over divine bodies erupted among powerful clans’ disciples. Amidst the arguments, observant ones noticed new entries on Yan Yunyu’s sales list.

    "The True Dragon Fruit?"

    "Not dragon – Zhu Long Fruit. When its eyes open, it’s day; when closed, night. This carries yin-yang physique…"

    With divine fruits suiting every major clan, their frenzy intensified. Another revelation sent their frenzy soaring higher.

    "His Excellency Mu Lin shows mercy! He hates seeing the world suffer. These fruits aren’t limited or overpriced – anyone can obtain them!"

    "His Excellency’s compassion shines!"

    "Mu Lin stands above all True Lords!"

    Mu Lin’s benevolence and contributions to humanity made his prestige eclipse other True Lords within days. This devotion gave him an ancestral aura.

    The True Lords didn’t resent this. Their own offspring and sects benefited from Mu Lin’s fruits and Golden Holy Bodies. These treasures truly served humanity.

    Yet while pleased, the True Lords harbored concerns about mass-producing divine fruits. Thunderbolt True Lord sought True Lord Tianwu to voice worries:

    "Can our world sustain countless divine bodies? The Xuanling realm can’t handle their cultivation!"

    True Lord Tianwu glared at surrounding foreign races. "Then let them fight for resources… We’ve enough divine bodies to spare."

    "Competing with foreign races? It works, but means brutal killing ahead."

    "Unavoidable. Without this, they’d fight foreign monsters on human lands. With Golden Holy Bodies, they’ll battle in outer starry skies instead."

    "Moreover, Golden Holy Bodies make them near-unkillable, granting fate-changing potential."

    "True…"

    The world couldn’t sustain universal dragon-like cultivation. But facing crisis, the True Lords allowed Mu Lin’s holy body project. They planned to send Golden Holy Body users into outer space for trials when ready.

    This feudal divine logic made sense – many worlds degraded humans from Golden Race to Silver or Bronze. But Mu Lin differed.

    His modern mindset knew solving spiritual energy shortages required technology, not slaughter. He acted accordingly.

    One month post-ascension, Mu Lin reappeared in cosmic starry skies, flying toward a Xuanling world satellite.

    "That’s… Mu Lin?"

    "Emerging so soon?"

    "What’s he planning?"
