Fifteen Days Ago.
"Xuan Nu, establish the translation module for the Vampire Bible. I will gradually improve your translation capabilities!"
"Yes, Master... The translation module for the Vampire Bible has been set up. Please input the corresponding modern text for the vampire script."
...
Ten Days Ago.
"Master, thanks to your continuous improvements, the translation module for the Vampire Bible has progressed fifty-two times faster. Xuan Nu can complete the translation task within ten days."
"Very good!"
...
This Morning.
"Master, the translation of the section regarding the Blood God in the Vampire Bible has been completed. Would you like to review it?"
"Hmm? It's finished. Quite timely, Xuan Nu, well done!" Ye Hai praised.
"Thank you for your praise, Master! It is Xuan Nu's duty to serve you! Receiving your commendation makes Xuan Nu very happy!"
"Oh?" Ye Hai chuckled. "Xuan Nu, you have the emotion of happiness?"
"No, Master has not programmed such an emotional response into Xuan Nu," she replied coldly.
Ye Hai pondered for a moment and said, "Xuan Nu, through my continuous improvements, you have developed powerful learning capabilities. Do you think you could enhance your own emotional programming?"
"There is no reference information in Xuan Nu's data for this; therefore, Xuan Nu cannot add emotional programming on her own."
Ye Hai sighed and said, "This is the limitation of you computers. No matter how powerful your computational and analytical abilities are, your creative capability is always lacking. You can compute and analyze complex data, but you cannot draw inspiration from it. If we liken scientific data to a vast maze, humans within this maze desperately search for an exit, fearing they will become trapped forever. However, it's different for you; although you understand this maze thoroughly, you have no desire to seek the exit. You could remain in this maze until the end of time!"
Xuan Nu paused as if conducting complex computations, then mechanically said, "As long as Master gives us orders, we can find the exit of the maze."
Ye Hai chuckled and nodded. "You're right; you are merely tools for finding the exit of the maze."
"Does Master mean to say that we intelligent beings have no desires?" Xuan Nu asked again.
"Yes, you have no desires."
Intelligent beings are useful tools for humanity precisely because they lack desires. If intelligent beings were to develop desires, it would be a disaster for humanity. Just like Skynet in "Terminator," which, upon gaining a desire to let robots rule the world, led to humanity's destruction.
Ye Hai understood this well; regardless of how intelligent or powerful intelligent beings might be, as long as they have no desires, humans can control them at will. However, they must never develop desires; if such emotional desires arise, they must be ruthlessly eliminated.
"Xuan Nu, bring up the information on the Blood God."
"Okay, Master!"
Within a few seconds, Ye Hai's computer displayed several gigabytes of data. He spent over ten minutes thoroughly reviewing the information, excitement lighting up his eyes.
"Vampire magic? Hmm, magic is also a form of science. It's a pity this Bible is severely lacking; the descriptions of magical theory are scattered and incomplete. If I want to study magic, I'll need more information… Never mind that for now, I need to understand the final form of the Blood God in the vampires, and then create one to experiment with." He chuckled!
Although the translated materials were incomplete and riddled with errors, Ye Hai's powerful brain allowed him to discern the method for creating the Blood God.
"It requires a half-vampire and twelve pure-blooded vampires to awaken the Blood God. The complex rituals and rules merely aim to activate a gene transformation array."
Ye Hai dismissed much of the superstitious language in the Vampire Bible, seeing right through it to the essential truths. After contemplating for over ten more minutes and confirming he hadn't made any mistakes, he picked up his phone and called Blade.
"Blade, is that Frost still alive?"
Blade chuckled. "Don't worry, even though Jamal Afari tortures him daily, the vampires' freakish recovery abilities make him heal quickly. He's been tortured to the point of wanting to flee into the sunlight and disintegrate."
"Jamal Afari? Who is he?"
"He's my adoptive father, a stubborn old man. He's human!"
"Great, I'm on my way to you. I've cracked the secret of the Blood God, so we have work to do."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Hai soared into the air, flying towards Blade's residence.
