Technological advancement begins with devouring.

The core area of ​​the spaceship.

Jarvis's actions transferred the highest level of control over the spaceship to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen infiltrated the 'central core' of the spaceship with his consciousness and read the data within, immediately gaining a general understanding of the spaceship.

The entire spaceship can be regarded as the 'headquarters' of a super power.

It can serve as a top-tier war fortress, unleashing devastating power directly on the battlefield.

At the same time, it is also a huge logistics and production base, as well as a super military camp that can accommodate countless powerful individuals.

Even in the most extreme cases, as long as there is energy to absorb, the spaceship can be completely self-sufficient, continuously producing massive amounts of resources, and manufacturing a large number of weapons and treasures through countless 'production lines' inside the spaceship.

In a sense, the spaceship itself can be seen as a universe at the level of a god-king.

There are even dedicated spaces for life to thrive and multiply.

However, this was the case when the spaceship was still intact.

Now, the spaceship is severely damaged, so broken that only some of its most basic functions can still be maintained.

Even these basic functions have declined significantly, far from being comparable to their peak.

For example, in terms of 'absorbing energy', the original spaceship was not 'picky' at all; it could absorb almost any energy and convert it into the primal energy needed for normal life.

Its 'recipe' even includes special energies such as the Destruction Source and Chaos Source Energy, which are considered 'highly toxic' to ordinary life forms.

However, the 'energy conversion' function inside the spaceship is now severely damaged, and it can only devour the primordial energy that tends towards the 'order side'.

This includes chaotic air currents in the cosmic ocean, the primordial energy of the normal universe, and so on.

The spaceship can still absorb the 'Origin of Destruction' possessed by the World Beasts, and even the 'Primordial Energy' that surpasses the Origin World, but it can no longer convert them into the Origin Energy needed by ordinary life.

Other functions are also missing to varying degrees.

For example, the time acceleration limit in the 'Black Striped Stone Pillar Region' has been reduced from trillions of times to only hundreds of thousands of times.

The upper limit for tempering one's will has also been lowered from the 'peak of the second-stage cosmic god' to the 'peak of the eternal true god'.

Originally, among the various functional areas of the spaceship, Jiang Chen was least interested in the 'Black Patterned Stone Pillar' area.

This place can significantly accelerate time and temper one's will, making it a treasure trove for cultivators of traditional systems. However, it is of little use to Jiang Chen.

In terms of willpower, Jiang Chen's willpower had already touched the threshold of the God-King level, so the willpower tempering in the black-patterned stone pillar area was completely useless to Jiang Chen.

In terms of time acceleration, the upper limit of time acceleration in Jiang Chen's inner universe is much higher than that of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar region.

Furthermore, the time acceleration in the black-patterned stone pillar region cannot be superimposed on Jiang Chen's internal universe.

However, after reading the information in the Spaceship's database, Jiang Chen unexpectedly learned that the foundation for tempering will in the 'Black Patterned Stone Pillar Region' is a drop of 'divine blood' containing the will of a God-King.

The special formation of the black-patterned stone pillars weakens the impact of the will emanating from this 'divine blood' and divides it into different areas of varying intensity, so that cultivators can hone their skills here.

The reason why the upper limit of willpower tempering in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area was reduced was because the magic array here malfunctioned. In order to prevent the willpower impact of the 'divine blood' from launching indiscriminate attacks and accidentally harming 'our own people', the commander of the spaceship completely sealed the core magic array at that time, thus firmly restraining the intensity of the willpower impact.

The impact of that outward-facing willpower is now just a 'aftershock'.

Jiang Chen had no interest in mental fortitude training.

However, Jiang Chen was very interested in the blood containing the will of the God-King.

This thing, as a resource, is an extremely precious and rare treasure.

As research material, it can also allow Jiang Chen to gain a deeper understanding of the cultivation system of the Origin Continent.

Even on the Origin Continent, beings at the God-King level are considered to be at the pinnacle.

If we could extract the 'divine blood' inside and study it, we might gain unexpected insights.

However, this matter cannot be rushed. Opening the 'array' in the area of ​​the black-patterned stone pillars safely is not so easy.

Not to mention the blood of the God-King itself, which is an extremely dangerous thing for those who are not strong enough.

Jiang Chen would not attempt this without being absolutely certain.

Jiang Chen continued reviewing the documents.

The interior of the spaceship is incredibly vast, even divided into countless completely independent 'subspaces'.

In terms of spatial scale alone, it is many times larger than the space appears from the outside.

The total size of countless 'subspaces' can even be compared to the entire primordial universe.

Even so, this was the result after the spaceship suffered severe damage, with many independent spaces collapsing and being annihilated.

During the prime of the Spaceship, its internal space alone could have contained several primordial universes.

No wonder the Wu Kingdom dared to mobilize its entire nation's resources to assemble a massive army and venture into the vast ocean.

If not for the suppression of supreme rules, such a fleet would probably be absolutely invincible in the universe.

Those spaces that have already collapsed or been destroyed are not included.

The space that still exists today is divided into many areas according to different functions.

It has a normal 'living area', a 'resource area' for cultivating various rare and precious materials, a 'production area' for producing weapons and treasures, and many other functional areas.

However, most of these areas are dilapidated and their functions are incomplete.

Repairing them one by one would be time-consuming, not to mention the high technical and resource requirements.

Today's spacecraft cannot even find a single functional area that is 100% intact and undamaged.

The best-preserved 'power reactor' is barely still operational, and the power it can provide is no longer sufficient to keep the spaceship moving.

Just like a car, the engine can be started, but that doesn't mean it can provide enough power to make the car move.

Such a massive spaceship requires an astonishing amount of power to get moving.

To enable the spaceship to 'traverse the dimensions of the cosmic sea,' the 'power reactor' must at least be roughly repaired.

Even if it's not a perfect repair, it should at least restore about 70-80% of the original condition.

Apart from that, the repair of most other functional areas is not a high priority.

However, the 'energy center' and 'external armor' also urgently need repair to ensure that the spaceship has sufficient energy supply and strong enough defense when traversing the dimensions of the cosmic sea.

Traveling through the cosmic sea is an extremely dangerous undertaking. If the spaceship's defenses are insufficient to provide reliable protection for the troops inside, then even the slightest mishap could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

The fate of the Wu army inside the spaceship serves as a good example in this regard.

To Jiang Chen's relief, the spaceship's data did contain the 'design blueprints' of the entire spaceship, including many details of the design scheme for each area, which were very comprehensive.

It is likely that the Wu Kingdom was also worried that the spaceship might be damaged during its expeditions, so they left this information to facilitate the repair of the spaceship.

The problem is that the materials used in the spaceship are too advanced, and the technology involved is too sophisticated, even beyond Jiang Chen's level of expertise.

Thinking about it carefully, this is normal.

The Wu Kingdom originated from a power on the continent that was extremely skilled in 'mechanical flow'.

This masterpiece, which brings together the highest level of technology in the Wu Kingdom, naturally has an extremely high level of technical sophistication.

Although Jiang Chen has a cheat, his rank is still low.

No matter how advanced the knowledge and technology within the system library may be, it's impossible for Jiang Chen to surpass the level of a God King.

The blueprints for the spaceship are extremely vast and complex.

If converted into a physical form, even a standard-capacity 'memory stone' would not be enough to record all the contents of the entire design.

It took Jiang Chen over 100,000 years just to carefully examine all of this information.

This only includes the design blueprints for the spaceship itself, not the other content in the database.

Not to mention, under the suppression of the supreme rules, much content is blocked, and Jiang Chen can only see a small part of it.

Fortunately, there was time acceleration; otherwise, just searching through the massive amount of information in the spaceship's database would have taken an astonishing amount of time.

After reviewing the design blueprints of the spaceship, Jiang Chen had a general repair plan in mind.

A complete repair is definitely impossible.

However, with initial repairs, especially to the 'power reactor,' 'energy center,' and 'external armor,' the spaceship should be able to operate and have sufficient protective capabilities without major issues.

However, there is a problem: repairing the spaceship, even just the initial repair, requires an astonishing amount of resources.

The massive resources Jiang Chen obtained from the Jin World, plus the primal energy accumulated from the original universe after killing the primal will, will consume more than half of them just for the initial repair of the spaceship.

This 'investment' was entirely invested in the spaceship; it was a gamble.

If, once the repairs are complete, we are unable to use the power of the spaceship to conquer various cosmic dimensions and plunder massive resources, then we will have suffered a huge loss.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they lost everything.

However, after only a brief hesitation, Jiang Chen quickly made up his mind to invest most of his wealth in repairing the spaceship.

Jiang Chen is in a very awkward situation.

In terms of strength and influence, Jiang Chen can be considered the strongest person in the Universe Sea.

Even with their current strength, they could still secure a place in the Origin Continent.

However, due to the limitations of the system, Jiang Chen must advance in the most perfect way.

It was precisely this advancement condition that kept Jiang Chen stuck at the 'Universe Master Level'.

The only way to break through is to use the characteristics of the [Mechanical God] series of specializations to travel to various cosmic sea dimensions and spread the faith of the 'Mechanical God Cult'.

Only by reaping enough 'faith' and elevating his own 'status' can Jiang Chen successfully break through.

Moreover, due to the underlying rules of this world, Jiang Chen must at least break through to the level of a True God before the end of this cycle of reincarnation.

All things considered, there are only tens of trillions of eras left until the end of this cycle.

This period of time may be very long, but in the context of the evolution of the universe, it is only less than half of the cycle remaining.

What determines Jiang Chen's advancement speed is not the efficiency of his own cultivation and comprehension, but the scale of the spread of faith in the 'Mechanical God Cult'.

In this vast cosmic sea, the faith of the 'Cult of Machine God' has spread to its limit, with little room for further growth.

Even with further improvements, Jiang Chen would not be able to meet the requirements for a breakthrough.

Jiang Chen needs to find more sources of faith, and the other dimensions of the cosmic sea are arguably the only path he can choose.

As for entering the cosmic seas of other dimensions, a cosmic vessel, while not absolutely necessary, is the most likely way Jiang Chen can achieve this among the channels he currently possesses.

"Repairing the spaceship requires a considerable amount of resources. It will take at least one trillion epochs to convert these resources using the energy of the inner universe and the spaceship itself..."

Jiang Chen quickly calculated in his mind: "Fortunately, the 'resource zone' inside the spaceship is still operational. Although its function has been weakened, it is still usable, which can improve the efficiency of resource conversion. Otherwise, relying solely on my internal universe, the speed of resource conversion would not be enough."

Jiang Chen's inner universe, or any 'universe', can transform primordial energy into specific rare and precious materials.

Of course, in most universes, such transformations tend to occur randomly.

In other words, in areas with sufficiently high primordial energy density, certain rare and precious materials will be randomly generated.

However, if necessary, 'targeted conversion' can also be carried out, but it requires the master of the universe to actively control it, and the amount of primordial energy consumed will be slightly more.

The specific level of rare and precious materials that can be transformed, and the efficiency of the transformation, depends on the level and size of the universe itself.

With the sheer size of Jiang Chen's internal universe, converting rare and precious materials below the level of a universe master is quite easy for him.

However, the minimum requirements for repairing the spaceship are at the level of an Eternal True God, and even require a large number of treasures at the level of a Chaos Overlord.

Jiang Chen found it very difficult to convert treasures of this level within his internal universe.

The 'resource zone' inside the spaceship also has a similar function, but due to damage, its conversion efficiency is even lower than that of Jiang Chen's internal universe.

Jiang Chen estimated that it would take over a trillion epochs to convert enough resources from both locations to repair the spaceship.

"Perhaps, I can seek help from the God King of Jin?" A thought popped into Jiang Chen's mind.

The Jin world also possesses the ability to transform primordial energy into rare and precious materials. Moreover, given the cosmic level of the Jin world, the efficiency of this transformation far exceeds that of Jiang Chen's internal universe and the 'resource zone' of the spaceship.
