Chapter 41: Refusing Consciousness Upload to the Machine Mainframe! Mechanical Ascension Without Self is Worthless!
Having defeated Alice, Lin Tian confirmed that she wouldn't wake up for a while and turned his attention to the Mechanical Ascension Pool.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how Alice and her mechanical doll were bathed in the silvery waters of the Mechanical Ascension Pool, emanating mechanical brilliance and becoming stronger than before.
Lin Tian was eager to see what kind of opportunity and transformation awaited him when he entered the Mechanical Ascension Pool. Would it be the same as Alice's experience, or was there a different fate waiting for him?
Driven by this uncertainty, Lin Tian walked towards the Mechanical Ascension Pool. Standing before the boiling silvery water, feeling the abundant power of mechanical ascension, Lin Tian observed for a few seconds before leaping into it.
Just like when he first entered the Psionic Ascension Pool, he felt nothing as he soaked in the silvery waters of the Mechanical Ascension Pool. But after a few seconds, a force that seemed to tear his flesh apart began to rip through his body.
Unlike the previous time when the Psionic Ascension Pool tore at his flesh and soul, this time the sensation was directed only at his physical body, sparing his soul from the pain. However, the physical pain was even greater than what he had experienced in the Psionic Ascension Pool.
Lin Tian endured the pain, carefully sensing the changes in his body.
“Why do I feel that my experience is completely different from Alice's baptism in the Mechanical Ascension Pool?”
Recalling Alice's gentle transformation process during her baptism in the Mechanical Ascension Pool, Lin Tian was sure that Alice did not experience the same excruciating pain that he was going through.
Unable to understand why he and Alice had different experiences in the same Mechanical Ascension Pool, Lin Tian stopped thinking about it and continued to observe his body's changes.
The wounds on his body multiplied, and the silvery water swiftly entered his body through the wounds, reshaping the skin around them, which now glowed with a silvery mechanical brilliance akin to inscriptions.
First, his body was torn apart, then the wounds were repaired with silvery mechanical skin, similar to the texture of the pool's water. Was this transformation intending to turn his flesh into a mechanical body with the same metallic texture as the silvery water?
As this thought crossed his mind, Lin Tian glanced at the inscriptions on the mechanical monument.
“Flesh is weak, mechanical ascension... so that's what it means? But why didn't Alice's body turn into a mechanical one?”
Lin Tian looked at the unconscious Alice again, still unable to understand, so he refocused on his own transformation. The process of his flesh transforming into a mechanical body was slow, with the healed skin resembling inscriptions.
He hesitated, wondering whether to accept this complete transformation into a mechanical body now. A deep sense of foreboding gripped him, a feeling he didn't have when he entered the Psionic Ascension Pool.
He felt that completing this transformation now would be extremely detrimental to him. Shouldn't achieving a complete mechanical body be the realization of the inscription's promise of mechanical ascension and godhood? How could one become a complete mechanical body right after entering the pool?
Although Lin Tian had only encountered the secrets of the Mechanical God Kingdom this once, based on his understanding of the inscription “Flesh is weak, mechanical ascension” and his observation of Alice's baptism, he felt something was wrong.
