Chapter 200: Chapter 141: Having Seen a Thousand Sails, My Heart Still Holds You_1
Planet Blue Star, Star Base.
In the jungle residential area, Jiang Chen fell from a pitch-black crevice and called out,
“I’m back, Bai Ying!”
“Welcome home, Lord,” Bai Ying emerged from the house and smiled as she curtsied.
Jiang Chen immediately activated [Danger Perception], hoping to use this recently absorbed ability to sense the strength of Bai Ying’s life force.
Unfortunately, just like his past [High-Energy Perception],
when Danger Perception swept over, Bai Ying appeared to him as just an ordinary little girl in his senses, with no noticeable intensity.
“Does a 7th Rank mecha with its own stealth capabilities exceed the range of high-energy perception at the current stage?”
Jiang Chen wasn’t disappointed though.
After all, he was still a 2nd Rank mecha pilot.
The High-Energy Perception ability he had absorbed, even if it were supercharged with a module, was only of 3rd Rank strength.
Even if it were multiplied by a hundredfold, achieving 5th Rank ability, it would still be several orders of magnitude below Bai Ying.
“However, my advancement in rank is very fast,” he said.
“It won’t be long before I completely surpass Bai Ying in strength. Plus, with Yun becoming a Time Mecha, she won’t need to protect me but will have to return to Senior Ruan’s side…”
Jiang Chen thought about how, after returning from the abyssal challenges ahead, Zero and Yun would both be in slumber and the house would lack Bai Ying’s presence, and it felt quite lonely.
But he couldn’t possibly monopolize Bai Ying and keep her to himself.
With a hint of regret, he ruffled Bai Ying’s hair and said,
“Bai Ying, I have acquired the power of time.”
“Once I have repaired Zero and Yun, I will need your guidance for both me and Yun.”
“Bai Ying will certainly instruct you and Yun diligently,” Bai Ying said earnestly.
It was at that moment,
a thought flickered in Jiang Chen’s heart.
Thinking about it…
If a mecha pilot utilized the technology of the Rebirth Civilization to achieve reincarnation,
keeping only their memories and talents but losing their mechas and special traits, starting over,
what would become of those mechas then?
“This should refer to a situation similar to ‘death of a mecha pilot.’
“If a mecha pilot dies in the abyss, their mecha would also be scrapped and lost in the abyss, disappearing together.”
“However, if a mecha pilot left a mecha in the real world before entering the abyss,”
“then upon the pilot’s death, that mecha wouldn’t disappear but turn into a [Masterless Mecha].”
“[Masterless Mecha] can be repaired and used, but cannot be bound by other mecha pilots, and won’t benefit from talent amplifications…”
Like the last member of the primeval civilization, who depended on that towering, scrappy Masterless Mecha,
“If a mecha pilot is to be reborn, they certainly wouldn’t go to the abyss to die but would undergo some ritual to complete the rebirth.”
“Thus, their mechas would not be lost but would all become Masterless Mechas.”
Information about the Rebirth Civilization and civilization level,
Jiang Chen intended to discuss with boss Li Xiao upon his return.
He could also take the opportunity to ask Senior Ruan if she required the rebirth service.
Yes, it was purely out of consideration for the boss, with no other intentions.
Besides…
Jiang Chen increasingly appreciated the depth of the [Rebirth Civilization].
Since the Rebirth Civilization was willing and able to share [Rebirth Technology] for trade with other civilizations,
then this technology definitely wasn’t the core legacy of the Rebirth Civilization.
This ancient civilization had perhaps developed many more abilities related to rebirth.
For instance, by utilizing the soul connection between the Masterless Mecha and the original mecha pilot, allowing the reborn pilot to fortify the Masterless Mecha and enhance talents without needing a contract…
Wouldn’t this mean that with each rebirth, one could stack the potential of their mecha?
Furthermore, the chosen ones of ordinary civilizations, the genius mecha pilots, would gradually lose prominence and fade from the stage of the era because of the rise in Civilization Potential and the emergence of new geniuses.
Like the original chosen one, although the beginning of everything, he was also the weakest of the chosen ones.
But the Rebirth Civilization is different.
Their chosen ones could undergo rebirth, and the talents of the genius mecha pilots could continue to grow stronger.
This means that with the same Civilization Potential, the chosen ones of the Rebirth Civilization would outnumber those of other civilizations many times over!
Not to mention the accumulation of Masterless Mechas during the process of rebirth.
“The depth of these ancient civilizations is indeed terrifying…” Jiang Chen inwardly marveled.
For ordinary civilizations to surpass the accumulation of countless eras and overtake these ancient ones seemed an impossible task.
Fortunately, Planet Blue Star was lucky to have someone like him.
As long as he could grow, improve civilization privileges, and enhance Civilization Potential, all of that was not a difficult task.
After all, within the abyssal system, the limit of a civilization ultimately depends on the limits of the strongest individual.
“Carrying Planet Blue Star on a steep ascent, surpassing these ancient civilizations…”
“It’s quite a challenge,” Jiang Chen looked forward with anticipation, raising his right hand to touch the Abyss Rune.
With the abyss atmosphere spreading,
a completely shattered steam mecha and an utterly withered and splintered bio-organic mecha stood on the lawn.
“Convergence, peak signal meet!”
…
After the steam mecha and the primeval mecha were upgraded, the difficulty of their repair escalated once more.
Not to mention the materials.
After all, they were just two 2nd Rank supercharged mechas.
Although their repair required a certain amount of Abyss Coins, metal materials, and biological materials,
under the support of the entire Planet Blue Star civilization, there was no need to worry about these issues; it was just a matter of calculating the time needed.
