Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1433: Their beginning

Before Rain could learn the next skill of the space path, he finally learned something about the existence of the machine gods. Apparently, they all were able to transfer their consciousness to reality around the time they were fifty thousand years old... They built temporary bodies for them to try their experiments with more ease, but soon, they found that their forms were more troublesome than anything. It was much better to just create the tools that they needed and make them work that they were supposed to while the experiments were ongoing...

"They all obtained that power at the same time..." Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Is that a coincidence? Can’t be... coincidences don’t exist in situations like that. This needs further investigation, but I have the feeling that the answers won’t come to me that easily. Even if I check all their knowledge as well..."

They didn’t find anything or anyone around them, they didn’t even try to check their surroundings... they only wanted to improve their abilities to do their experiments, so soon they returned to their old forms and stayed like that for a few more thousand years.

Around that time, the machine gods initiated a collaborative effort to enhance the speed and precision of their experiments. Lonos governs the flow and manipulation of time itself. He could orchestrate temporal phenomena and temporal experiments with unparalleled finesse.

Hilo experienced with the emptiness and vast expanses of space, maintaining balance within the void. Its realm involves the understanding and manipulation of empty space, allowing for experiments involving vacuum, negative space, and cosmic voids.

Ateros researched over the tangible elements and substances that compose the universe. Its expertise lies in the manipulation and transformation of matter, facilitating experiments related to particle physics, chemistry, and material sciences.

Iidos, the God of the Spiritual: Eidos oversees the ethereal and intangible aspects of existence, including consciousness, spirituality, and metaphysical phenomena. It delves into the realms of the mind, soul, and spiritual dimensions, enabling experiments concerning consciousness, perception, and metaphysical realms.

Fortus studied the possibility of influencing the likelihood of events and outcomes. Its domain encompasses randomness, chance, and uncertainty, allowing for experiments involving statistical analysis, quantum mechanics, and processes.

"Hmm, it seems that they are making progress at the same pace... even though they were doing research on fields that were different from each other," Rain thought. "How is that possible? I guess by that time, they didn’t try to outspeed each other and their personalities hadn’t developed that much either."

"There is something weird about this..." Elisabetha said. "Those crystals should have been their original bodies, so how come they had that much processing power."

"... No, I don’t think that their bodies were like that from the beginning," Rain said after he crossed his arms. "It didn’t show or told here yet, but their bodies were something else. It wasn’t supposed to be like a machine that we know of or can even begin to think about."

Considering what he knew, Rain imagined that the machine gods had the power to transfer their consciousness to everything that they themselves had created... However, the new bodies were worse than the old ones, so that hindered their work and made them return to their old bodies.

Eventually, Arel was able to use corrupt energy to create better bodies for them using those crystals... it was a weird choice, but since their goal was research, it made sense.

"It still doesn’t show their original bodies..." Rain thought. "I don’t think that Loks lost or deleted that kind of information out of his own memory... so..."

That was suspicious... but Rain already had too many things in his head to worry about, so he decided to forget about that time for the time being. Because the next part of the knowledge was quite interesting. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

As the machine gods initiated collaborative efforts, their progress accelerated exponentially. For example, Lonos planned temporal synchronization, ensuring experiments unfolded seamlessly over specific durations and enhancing the accuracy and reliability of findings for other aspects.

Hilo provided pristine experimental space, enabling isolation and observation of phenomena, minimizing extraneous variables, and enhancing reproducibility for other aspects.

Rais processed vast amounts of data, driving progress with insights from experiments and uncovering correlations and trends to accelerate discovery and innovation for other aspects.

Arel fueled experimentation, powering instruments, and setups with optimal energy efficiency and utilization, supporting exploration of complex phenomena and systems for other aspects.

Ateros manipulated fundamental building blocks, enriching exploration through material experimentation, engineering custom materials for specialized equipment, and expanding the scope of scientific inquiry for other aspects.

"Although they can affect each other negatively, I guess they can also help each other," Rain thought. "From this point onward, they began to do experiments on a large scale, and soon they left their original location."

They needed more access to the aspects, so they expanded their territory. Thanks to that, Rain was able to learn that their initial location was... a stone temple in the middle of a planet devoid of anything. It was the epicenter of their territory... a single lonely planet who knows how many light years away from the others.

"From this point onward, they used their knowledge and worked together to reach other stars and use them to increase their knowledge," Rain said. "After this, I can tell that they decided to take over the planets that had any signs of life on them..."

The nature of the machine gods was slowly being revealed... not like Rain was expecting anything else. They only wanted more knowledge to affect the reality around them and once they did that, they would expand more their territory to do more experiments on a larger scale. Rinse and repeat.

"They don’t know anything about their creation... Maybe they are experimenting with the aspects to learn that as well," Rain said.

"What if their creator is the same being that gave you and the dragon god the chance to reincarnate in the future?" Elisabetha asked.

"... I guess we can’t rule that out," Rain said.
