Chapter 4

A thousand years ago, in the long war between the Star Abyss Alliance and the intelligent alien civilization, the Vorotikor Empire, the human civilization finally suffered a defeat due to certain reasons that could not be disclosed to outsiders. This led to the collapse of the alliance's regime, and the entire territory, including the Milky Way and numerous other star systems, along with billions of human beings, became the territory and slaves of this alien empire!

Only a few human elites managed to escape and re-established refugee settlements in some remote star systems in the universe.

After nearly a thousand years of development, with the help of some friendly intelligent races in the star sea, human civilization finally recovered much of its vitality. Although it was far from the prosperous period of the past, at least they no longer had to worry about the threat of extinction!

At the end of the final great battle, the human home planet Earth was occupied by the Vorotikor Empire's Golden Caliphs. The core of the strategic AI, which had been missing, unexpectedly appeared on this remote planet. By a stroke of luck, he eventually obtained it.

Unfortunately, the main consciousness of the AI core he encountered had already died, leaving only the most basic functions for information reading and storage. The energy required to repair and optimize his body consumed the last bit of its reserve energy. Currently, it is essentially no different from an ordinary optical brain, except for the vast amount of data it stores.

"Comprehensive optimization and transformation of the body require a large amount of high-grade resources. Unfortunately, I don't have such conditions now, so I can't consider it for the time being. However, I can start cultivating some necessary abilities to lay the foundation for rapid growth in the future," he thought to himself.

The AI core contains a vast amount of cultivation techniques, all of which are the treasures of the Star Abyss Alliance during its heyday, allowing him to choose freely.

After a moment, the young man made his decision.

A slight pain in his mind, a large amount of information flooded in. He calmed his mind and began to study the data transmitted by the AI.

An hour later, he had firmly memorized and fully understood the mental cultivation technique called "Alaya Vijnana."

Alaya Vijnana, also known as Alaya, Alaya, or Alaya, can also be referred to as the eighth consciousness, the fundamental consciousness, or the abode consciousness. It is the eighth consciousness among the "Eight Consciousnesses" in the Yogacara school of Buddhism. It is the combination of the true nature and the deluded mind, the repository of all good and evil seeds.

In Buddhism, this consciousness is the foundation of the universe, containing all things and preserving them. Therefore, it is called the "storehouse consciousness." It is also called the "seed consciousness" because it contains the seeds of all things.

The Mahayana Sutra of the Secret Adornment of the Tathagata (Dasha密严经) states: "The Alaya Vijnana of all sentient beings is inherently complete and pure, surpassing the world and equal to Nirvana. Like the moon appearing in all lands, people see it wax and wane, but the moon itself does not increase or decrease. The storehouse consciousness is also like this, universally present in all sentient beings, always complete and unchanging."

The Awakening of Mahayana Faith (大乘起信论) also explains: "The arising and ceasing of the mind is based on the Tathagata's storehouse, hence the arising and ceasing mind. The non-arising and non-ceasing, combined with the arising and ceasing, is not one and not different, and is called the Alaya Vijnana. This consciousness has two meanings: it can encompass all dharmas and produce all dharmas."

Of course, the cultivation technique he obtained is not entirely derived from ancient Buddhist scriptures but is a treasure that the former alliance's science academy and military collaborated on, spending unimaginable human and material resources over several hundred years of research, analysis, and continuous improvement. It can fundamentally stimulate human genetic potential, enhance the essence of life, and thus enable the practitioner to undergo a transformative evolution!

Another technique, "War Emperor's Star Annihilation Technique," is also the essence of the Star Abyss Alliance's peak martial power, on par with the "Alaya Vijnana Technique." Both are cultivation techniques exclusive to top-tier experts. The former focuses on enhancing the practitioner's own abilities and improving the essence of life, while the latter is a secret technique specifically used for battlefield combat, with its destructive power being the strongest in the alliance, unmatched by any other!

These two techniques, one internal and one external, are the highest secrets of that super empire, exclusive to the alliance's strategic military power—the top-tier mecha warriors. Lower-level experts have no chance to see them!

To become a mecha warrior, one must undoubtedly be a true elite. Those who have the potential to reach the pinnacle and become high-ranking mecha war gods are one in a million, the pride of heaven! The cultivation resources they enjoy are naturally incomparable to ordinary goods.

However, although this technique is a supreme secret, achieving success requires a large amount of high-grade resources, and the AI's database does not provide any methods to help Qin Huang earn money.

A fifteen-year-old student with no prominent family background or outstanding business talent has no way to earn enough resources in a short time to improve himself.

However, since he has inherited the high-level power of the empire, he has the obligation to grow as quickly as possible. Therefore, selectively learning some necessary knowledge is inevitable.

After a moment, another massive amount of information flooded into his brain, with most of it related to mecha. For a while, his brain felt as if it was about to explode.

When he woke up, he found that several hours had passed.

An indescribable hunger hit him. Qin Huang nimbly got out of bed, took two bottles of organic nutrient solution from the drawer beside the bed, and drank them in large gulps, which only slightly alleviated his hunger.

The young man's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his dark eyes scanned the room. Apart from the two bottles of nutrient solution in the drawer, there seemed to be nothing else to eat.

Of course, this problem is not unsolvable. He went out and circled around for a bit. A few minutes later, he returned with over ten bottles of organic nutrient solution, having scavenged all the stock from the Wu brothers!

However, this was still not enough. He thought for a moment, opened the optical brain on his wrist, and ordered four boxes from the school's internal supermarket. The number in his account instantly dropped to zero.

Due to the short distance, the doorbell of the dormitory suite rang just over ten minutes later. A cartoon-like intelligent robot deliveryman stood at the door, holding four light blue boxes.

"Sir, your goods have arrived. Please inspect them!" it said as a matter of routine.

Qin Huang opened the boxes, revealing forty neatly arranged light green metal bottles inside, each with a simple and clear trademark, all military-standard high-concentration organic nutrient solutions.

After confirming everything was correct, he moved all the boxes into his room.

After consuming another fifteen bottles of nutrient solution, the hunger in his body was temporarily alleviated. However, the energy provided by this food was far from enough to restart the AI's optimization and transformation program!
