Chapter 33: The Heavenly Emperor's new armie

In truth, what was sealed away was nothing but a clone. The Heavenly Emperor had created an identical clone, with the help of Seventh Heaven White, which they used to deceive the Eight Heaven. The seal of enslavement, left by the Eight Heaven, was also quietly transferred to the now sealed clone the moment it was created. And so, ever since that day, the Heavenly Emperor resides in this world, waiting for the day the next stage of the <Ninth Heaven Saint Domain prosperity Project> begins, which is now.

The true body of the Heavenly Emperor was never sealed, only her clone was. She chose to stay in this world on her own accord, for she has an important role to play in the <Ninth Heaven Saint Domain prosperity Project>. And now, as she listens to her son's announcement, she knows that it is time to execute the plan.

During the entire time, the Heavenly Emperor waited for the next stage of the <Ninth Heaven Saint Domain prosperity Project> to begin, she spent her time in deep meditation, strengthening herself by comprehending the Way of Time. This Way of Eternal Life is a path that few have ever walked, and it stands at the very peak of all Ways. It is far stronger than her own Way of the Heavenly Court, which is already considered one of the most powerful Ways in existence. Even the amazing Ruism's Holy Man's Way of Ru, which is said to be the pinnacle of all Ways, pales in comparison to the Way of Time.

But the Heavenly Emperor was not content with merely enhancing her own power. She also saw fit to train a new army, one that surpassed anything that had ever been seen before. Even the Heavenly Court she previously controlled pales in comparison.

This army is not made up of ordinary soldiers, but of highly advanced, sentient Ai-Life forms, created using 'black technology'. These Ai-Life forms possess bodies that are on par with those of Spirit Venerables and are imbued with a top attitude for cultivation and Cutting Edge Weaponry. They existed in virtual networks, but their programs allow them to manipulate tools and 'robots' in the real world.

The Heavenly Emperor's husband, Heavenly Way White, certainly has not only favored his son by giving him his entire inheritance, but he also gifted his wife with control over this formidable army.

First, White took a artificial intelligence of a highly developed race like the celestial race and empowered it using his Heavenly Way Authority. Then he secretly cut off a part of the Eight Ruler's body, just as he had done with his own ruler counterpart, and gave it to the AI with the order to analyze it and create a body for itself. This led to the creation of a Liquid Metal Ball, similar to the Eight Heaven, that possessed a humanoid form.

Thus, the first of these terrifying war machines was born. On one of the days, the AI life form suddenly felt lonely. Thus, based on its own program framework, it created another AI life form, simulating a different personality, this is the reproduction pattern of the AI life form, self-proliferation.

The two AI life forms begin to converse, and slowly, they created more of their kind, which in time created an entire Army spearheaded by none other than the Heavenly Emperor. They all exist in virtual networks, but are able to manipulate tools and robots in the real world through their programs. Robots and tools, created by them, soon began to extensively harvest resources under the control of the AI life forms, and since their manufacturing base could run continuously without a need for rest, the base constantly expanded. This not only increases the size of the Heavenly Emperor's Army, but also the resources they collect, speeding up her and their cultivation.

Soon they began to migrate to other planets to create bases. Thus, the number of AI life forms also increased exponentially.

Millions, dozens of millions, hundreds of millions…. Until most of the Ninth Heaven Saint Dimension was populated by them.

And thus, a brilliant AI army was born!

The moment that the body is destroyed, a lock, locking their soul to their body, will be shattered. Because of the special characteristic of the AI life form, allowing them to live in a virtual world, it will not die together with the body but return to the mainframe system through an ever-present net, the Karmic Virtue Network, regardless of distance. With a backup copy of the body's data, that mainframe makes use of a top-notch skill to allow the data to automatically reform the AI-Life form body and automatically restore them with their cultivation at their peak.

Compared to other means of resurrection, this is considered very cheap, due to them not needing any high grade materials. This even allows them to survive when Heavenly Punishment descends.

In order to kill these AI-Life forms completely, one has to wipe them either out in the virtual world or let their master, the Heavenly Emperor, order them to self-destruct. The former is a feat no race is capable of, while the latter is only a security mechanism that never would realistically be made use of.

If there ever existed a hidden force, then it surely can be said that it can not compare to this new force cultivated by the Heavenly Emperor. Sooner or later, she will combine this new force with the Heavenly Court, resulting in the creation of a force with hundreds of Eternal Life Beings.

Aside from cultivating, she devoted herself completely to her cultivation, delving deeper and deeper into the mysteries of Time. Every moment she spends in meditation brings her closer to her ultimate destiny, and she knows that she must be ready when the time comes to put her knowledge and power to use.

The power that she is able to draw from this Way is unimaginable, and far exceeds anything that she has ever experienced before. The mere act of comprehending the Way of Time has caused her power to increase tenfold, and she feels as if she has been reborn anew. It is no wonder that only the Heavenly Way is said to be able to use it, for the power that it grants is truly beyond comprehension.

However, her plan does not just end with the Way of Time and this terrifying army, in a final step she wants to create a Super Way of Eternal Life. A Way of Eternal Life that combines the very essence of the Way of the Heavenly Court and the Way of Time. The Heavenly Emperor simple is not satisfied with always being compared to the Holy Man.

No, she wants to be recognized as someone that surpasses the Holy Man!

As the next stage of the project begins, the Heavenly Emperor prepares to take center stage. Her true power will soon be revealed, and all those who underestimated her will come to regret their folly. For the Heavenly Emperor is not to be trifled with, and those who cross her will suffer the consequences.
