The Growth of a God

Chapter 837 - 19: New Generation · Symbiote

Jingxu Heaven, in a certain Sky City.

"Today is another beautiful day; I must update my diary."

In this era where data interaction is typically achieved through brain-computer interfaces and information databases, Fu Yi somehow pulled out a paper notebook and began writing in it with a pen.

As the only Winged Divine Dragon accepted into the Mountain and Sea People, Fu Yi now had a rather unique appearance.

Bearing a resemblance to a Dragon man.

Covered from head to toe in the distinctive golden armor of the Winged Divine Dragon, constantly absorbing and reflecting solar energy.

Especially the pair of wings behind Fu Yi, which emitted a cold gleam even when folded.

Moreover, Fu Yi’s choice of implants had a style very much akin to Burrowing Insects, primarily consisting of metal-based silicon implants.

This made the already angular Fu Yi look like a true mechanical life form.

Particularly those intricate, complex superconducting optical fibers, which appeared on the surface of Fu Yi’s body like veins and blood vessels.

From a distance, one could see golden liquid energy flowing along the superconducting optical fibers, granting Fu Yi an explosiveness far beyond that of an ordinary Winged Divine Dragon.

Repurposing the superconducting fiber originally used to connect Artificial Gods to enhance his own abilities.

Fu Yi’s modification was not only bold but also unique.

Looking at the entire Mountain and Sea Civilization, it’s estimated that few would dare to be as crazy as him.

After all, superconducting fibers weren’t initially developed as a connection device for individuals.

As an energy cycling carrier within an Artificial God, superconducting optical fibers were specifically designed to carry the immense energy of the Void Engine.

Not to mention that after Aten developed the Sun Gear, the iterated Artificial Gods have generally adopted more powerful Divine Core Hubs.

At this moment, the golden liquid energy flowing inside Fu Yi was actually substantial Divine Power.

—Carrying Divine Power with the body of an Ascender.

Now, Fu Yi not only surpassed the average Mountain and Sea People.

Even other Winged Divine Dragons, also divine creatures, couldn’t understand his existence.

"Have you started writing your diary again?"

While Fu Yi was diligently writing his diary,

a superconducting fiber suddenly extended from his body and quickly transformed into a cute eye shape.

However, unlike a normal eye, beneath it was a mouth filled with dense teeth that induced trypophobia at first glance.

"A Gu, you finally woke up?"

Fu Yi stopped his writing immediately and looked at A Gu in surprise.

A Gu was essentially a type of parasitic creature, whose original source came from the first-generation leader of the Mountain and Sea Realm—Bone Chant.

According to some unacknowledged rumors, the first recognized leader of the Mountain and Sea Realm—Bone Chant—was not actually native to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

It was a parasitic beast, a shapeshifter from outside the Mountain and Sea Realm.

After its retirement, Bone Chant continuously researched ways to allow its race to procreate anew.

Thus, after years of research and experimentation, a new parasitic beast was born in the Skeletons’ Bone Forest.

Of course, after improvements and evolution, calling it a "parasitic beast" was no longer accurate.

The new generation of parasitic beasts no longer needed to parasitize other life forms for birth; they spent their juvenile stages together with the nurturing Skeletons.

When their bodies matured, the new-generation parasitic beasts could choose a host they favored and form a symbiotic relationship.

Due to inheriting the traits of the original parasitic beasts,

the new-generation parasitic beasts were born with knowledge and could perform mind reading through physical contact.

The most crucial aspect was that individuals parasitized by the new-generation parasitic beasts could enhance their physical abilities and gain partial control over their flesh and blood.

Because of these altruistic attributes, the informed dubbed the new-generation parasitic beasts "Symbiotes."

"Yes, forming a symbiosis with an Artificial God is much more difficult than I imagined."

"Fortunately, you modified yourself in advance, and I have now completed the final symbiosis."

A Gu gently nodded its eye, then sprouted a small hand from the superconducting fiber.

When Fu Yi was very young, he played with A Gu.

Therefore, when A Gu’s body matured, Fu Yi naturally became A Gu’s symbiotic partner.

Until Fu Yi possessed his exclusive Artificial God, a bold thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Since he shared everything with A Gu, why not share the Artificial God too?

Driven by this thought, Fu Yi modified his superconducting fiber.

Then, he let A Gu penetrate deeper into the Artificial God’s core through the modified superconducting fibers, ultimately completing this unprecedented symbiosis.

Fu Yi admitted that this approach was a gamble.

However, whether it was Fu Yi or A Gu, neither belonged to the kind that followed rules or stayed out of trouble.

"How do you feel now?"

Curiously observing A Gu, Fu Yi could still sense that subtle feeling of shared body.

But unlike before, A Gu seemed to have inherited some of the Artificial God’s abilities through the symbiosis, being much stronger than when merely symbiotizing with Fu Yi.

"It’s quite a peculiar feeling..."

"I feel as though, besides you, there’s another body."

"Its main body is hidden in the Imaginary Number Space, but I can use these superconducting fibers as a medium to exert some of its power."

As if to validate its statement, A Gu’s small hand directly formed a hand seal.

In the next second, the surging Divine Power boiled along the superconducting fibers.

Crackling...

Accompanied by visible electric light, a golden feather appeared in A Gu’s hand.

It was a feather that A Gu had created out of thin air using the Mediation Creation Skill, a realm of creation accessible only to genuine demigods and gods.

"Indeed very peculiar!"

A Gu was slightly more knowledgeable than Fu Yi and proficient in various Qi Refining Skills and Ghost God Techniques.

But before this, A Gu definitely didn’t have the ability to create objects out of thin air, especially creating a feather, which was a divine attribute of its kind.

"Looks like our next actions have gained a bit more assurance."

Gently holding that golden feather, A Gu did not continue the conversation this time.

Seeing this, Fu Yi wisely refrained from delving further into the topic and instead headed straight towards another part of the city.
