Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 569 Danger

Realizing distance and directional awareness in space is a very hard thing to do. Especially since there are no points of reference.

And so I kept on moving, and moving and moving until I had enough. After all, being bored comes in handy in making new things. What else was I going to do? But I couldn\'t help it, so as I was moving I decided to work on some random things in my spare time.

Mainly the Keys.

Though it\'s not going to be easy to replicate, I literally need nothing but understanding.

I had already jotted down every letter of the law that the creator of the keys had made. I then began trying to replicate the creation process of the earth key.

Starting with basic inscriptions such as replication and duplication, conversion, and enhancements. Though these inscriptions might sound abstract and far away from what one would consider \'Law\' they are needed for someone like me.

Whoever made the keys had the ability to go beyond the limitation of mental ability and used the world itself to create the foundation for his keys.

As for me, I don\'t even come close to such understanding so, instead of me doing it, I\'ll just make an artificial intelligence using inscriptions.

This might sound arrogant, but the Artificial Intelligence I\'m trying to make has a very limited function, it is only to calculate and deduce then align whatever laws I implement into it.

It is basically a sewing machine that I\'ll feed raw Law and it will translate it into physical Law.

The idea is probably innovative enough and I\'m probably the only one who thought of doing something like this, so I don\'t think I can trust my chances of success. But it\'s a good start to replicate one of the keys.

The process of making the artificial intelligence wasn\'t that hard. After all, I already have a basic one, it\'s Y\'s brain.

That\'s something Master Rain did, although Y has an advanced mental prow it is very \'broad\', what I need is something more compact and focused instead of broad like Y.

I don\'t need the AI to talk, move, fight, analyze offensive gestures, and deduce defensive gestures and vice versa.

So, I began jotting down the new AI I wanted to create by writing down Y\'s brain circuit of inscriptions removing all the unnecessary inscriptions, and replacing them with overwhelming processing and computing powers.

This way this AI can only focus on building the laws instead of frying my brain and not even being able to make even one.

With this done, I began creating the AI. The inscriptions to make the AI aren\'t something hard to make, but I need to make them flexible, and instead of adding more inscriptions I thought of something pretty neat to make.

I grabbed a steel ball I had on me. This was one of the many cannon balls I owned, and this one is made from neutron steel, I don\'t have much of this material left, but it\'s pretty sturdy and I needed the base material to be sturdy.

I then began cutting it into bits and parts until I fully separated the ball into Lego-like pieces. Once attached together they\'ll make the ball whole again. The reason for this was to allow the ball to rotate sections of itself to allow for different creation processes.

I then began inscribing law on each and every bit of the pieces, and then slowly linked them together, bit by bit, slowly but surely, I added more and more inscriptions to the mix.

After several months of travel and work time, I was finally done with creating the completed version.

The metal bits looked completely different now, since they were carved and had writing all over them.

I then began linking them together, until I recreated the ball from before. The ball seemed to have an innumerable amount of inscriptions that were intertwined with great complexity.

If I were to try and make this when I was below the emperor rank, I would have probably fried my brain before I was done, but now it\'s easier since my mental and soul power gained a greater boost. Especially with Du Shen\'s full memories and his own understanding and \'DOPING\'

I was able to use poison itself to boost my mental prows and negate exhaustion. It was at the cost of my own health at the point I even had to stop and chug down several rejuvenating pills before continuing the work.

Now that I was done, it was time to activate the ball.

I only needed to fuel it with some Qi, and there was a Qi absorption function within the ball, and the moment I jumpstarted the ball, it hovered up forward and began shaking, slowly but surely it began acting.

Pieces of the ball began sliding inwardly and then outwardly, moving up and down, sliding across, each linked together to create new inscriptions and formations, and with each move and rotation, the orb began \'understanding\' its purpose.

As soon as the ball finished its full spin rotation, it hovered calmly in front of me.

"Now I just need to add the Earth Law and it should start weaving the laws from the key that the creator of the keys made," I grinned as I was about to touch the ball and suddenly my mind seemed to reel as I heard a voice echoing within it.

"Help me!"

I immediately pocketed the ball and looked around, there was nothing.

"HELP ME!" the voice, this time far closer to me than my own soul.

I stopped the hoverboard and looked around.

There was nothing here. The tunnel seemed to extend further forward and there was no exit in sight, but where was this voice coming from? Aren\'t I in a spatiotemporal passageway? How can someone be here? And if they\'re this close, where are they?

Whoever\'s calling me doesn\'t seem to be harboring any ill will. Otherwise, I\'d be in danger right now.

But the most dangerous are these kinds of people, I can\'t trust anyone and I sure as hell have no will or urge to assist someone I don\'t know especially since I myself am in a precarious position.

I decided to ignore whoever was asking to help and booted up my hoverboard once again, but just as I wanted to head out. The tunnel began destabilizing. Crumbling even, on all sides.

"What the fuck!"

I cursed as I desperately maneuvered the board to avoid the collapsing spatial tunnel. The sides of the tunnel began tearing apart revealing rifts in space that seemed to suck into them whatever air, qi, or substance was in space.

The force of the pull was strong enough to tear a loose rectangular armor piece from my board.

The board itself was made from neutron steel, which meant it was one of the most powerful metals I\'ve used.

But the moment the piece entered the rift, it crumpled like a piece of paper and turned to specks of dust instantly.

There was no way in hell or heaven that I would survive something like that.

So I pushed harder on the board to move as fast as it could and avoid the collapse of the tunnel, only for the whole damn thing to tighten in front of me like a caved in mountain.

With no way to progress forward, and the collapse of the tunnel coming at me from behind, I wholeheartedly believed that I was a goner.

"This way!"

I heard once again.

And right underneath me, the tunnel opened up, a new passage that wasn\'t there before, an exit from this trap.

An exit from a trap to another obvious trap.

After all, only a fool would think that they were saved. But although I knew it was a trap, I had no choice but to fall for it, or else I was going to perish here.

 One would rather face danger they don\'t know than face certain death.

So begrudgingly I dove into the newly opened passageway and went in.
