The Mech Touch

Chapter 6952  The Functional Purpose of Worship

Communicating with Qilanxo was different from talking to people.

The former sacred god used to be a massive exobeast back when she was alive. Her giant lizard body could roar and make all kinds of animalistic sounds, but she never grew the organs to articulate human words.

This was why she relied on telepathy and silent exchanges of impressions as her preferred methods of communication.

In certain cases, it was much more efficient for Ves to exchange his ideas with Qilanxo through these means. It reminded Ves of how he conveyed information to others in a design network.

The tiny manifestation of Qilanxo rested on his shoulder and quietly began to offer her own side of her story.

Unfortunately, it was not as comprehensive as Ves liked.

As the other people patiently waited for Ves to extract answers from the design spirit, Qilanxo earnestly tried to be of assistance, but her understanding of her past situation was never that good from the beginning.

After a few minutes of silence, Ves finally turned to the others. "Qilanxo and her fellow 'sacred gods' never saw any reason to conduct research on their own existence and the workings of their own powers. While they lived long enough for them to make interesting discoveries, it is not systematic enough. The information she is able to share with us is not as comprehensive as we would like."

"That is okay." Vector Loban said. "Can you tell me whether Qilanxo has been able to suppress or remove her savage nature by allowing herself to get influenced by the thinking of other intelligent beings?"

"She is not quite sure of that." Ves replied on the design spirit's behalf. "She has never formed a definite causal link between the two. It may be that her growing intelligence and rationality are a result of long-term exposure to a specific type of higher-dimensional energy. The sacred gods and their primitive worshipers did not bother to conduct a proper scientific study that could help them investigate the root of the phenomenon. Acquiring worshipers was more of an ego thing for her and other sacred gods. They liked it when the primitive humans respected them, worshiped them and catered to their needs."
