Overgod Ascension

"Shocking appearance! The ghost ship from three hundred years ago!"

"Seamount! The long-lost flagship of the Hawke family!"

"The Great Discovery, Captain Victor's Adventure!"

…

The thick, crisp newspaper with a light yellow surface used various exaggerated techniques to describe the return of the ghost ship, successfully triggering another wave of occult craze among the public.

Wu Ming flipped through a few pages and was very satisfied to see that the information about himself, Vidi and others was brushed aside and summarized with the word "tourist".

Just let Captain Victor do such a famous thing, he still needs to keep a low profile.

"Mr. Steven Sterling! Thank you very much for sending back the relics of our ancestors. Our Hawk family will remember this friendship!"

In front of him, a well-dressed middle-aged man with platinum hair said with a smile.

"This time it is mainly due to Captain Victor! Mr. Anwen!"

Wu Ming answered quite modestly.

In fact, even though the Hawke family was a large consortium and very influential in the Golden Oak Kingdom, it was still nothing in his eyes.

The main purpose of dealing with the other party this time was to pave the way for Captain Victor.

"Yeah, I know!"

Anwen Hawke smiled: "Regarding the establishment of an ocean navigation company, we will try our best to facilitate it, and we will also provide instruments and equipment suitable for ocean navigation and salvage at ex-factory prices..."

For Westerners, it is normal for a favor to be repaid. In Anwen's view, this time is just a transaction.

After receiving this help, although I am still acquainted with Steven and Captain Victor in front of me, the attitude they will take in the future depends on their respective development.

'Two guys who have just escaped from the bottom of society still have a long way to go before they want to enter the real upper class! ’

An Wen sighed silently in his heart. He didn't know why, but there was something strange in his eyes when he looked at Wu Ming.

This young man gave him the feeling that he could hold on to that tiny sliver of hope!

…

Just when an ocean salvage company called ‘Heart of the Ocean’ was quietly established in Victoria Harbor, Wu Ming and others also returned to Yinchao City.

After the holiday is over, they must face their own lives.

Angelina needs to continue to complete her studies, but Philip got his wish and was admitted to the Royal Police Academy and will report soon.

Although Philip barely passed the high school graduation exam, he failed miserably in the college entrance exam. This was not a place where he could use his cleverness, and his family did not have that much influence.

And Alice, although she studied very hard, she still did not receive an invitation letter from any scientific research institute. She could only go to work in the research institute where her mother worked, preparing to work part-time and continue to fight for the university entrance exam. After all, even in Working in the same institute, the salary and future development determined by high school and university diplomas are completely different.

On the occasion of parting, she seemed to have a lot to say to Wu Ming, but she felt too inferior to say it out.

The halo that enveloped Steven Sterling was too brilliant.

In particular, he has obtained a recommended place and is about to enter the Binaford Business University, which is a first-class business institution even in the Golden Oak Kingdom.

Perhaps, after a few years or decades, among their group of friends, only Philip might be able to barely see his back.

After resting at home for a few days, Wu Ming boarded the steam train again and prepared to report to the university.

"Have you brought enough clothes and money?"

Mrs. Sterling was busy packing Wu Ming's luggage: "If you don't have enough money, just call and ask your father to remit money to you!"

She finally gave James another look: "You really don't need him to send you there?"

"It's really not necessary. After all, there is still business to take care of!"

Wu Ming smiled: "I am already a college student, not a child anymore!"

Such playful words immediately made Mrs. Sterling smile: "You are not even fifteen years old, why are you not a little kid?"

Woohoo!

The train whistle sounded, and Wu Ming jumped onto the carriage: "Goodbye!"

“Call us when you get there!”

James and Mrs. Sterling shook their hands vigorously, and two younger brothers and sisters, Brandon and Angelina, also came, but the difference was that one had a stinky face, while the other seemed a little reluctant to leave.

"Angelina's physique is a bit special, I need to study it carefully in the future..."

Wu Ming sat in his seat, looking at the houses and numbers running past the window, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Casper City, where Binafort University is located, is not far from Sound Nest City, only a few hours' train ride away.

At this distance, airship tickets may not be available every day, and the time is still about the same, so it is better to take the train.

Wu Ming didn't care which university he went to, so he randomly chose one that was relatively close.

"This...sir?! Are you a student?"

Opposite Wu Ming, a ten-year-old girl was staring at his face curiously.

At this time, Wu Ming looked like a standard big boy, but his face was not green at all. Instead, it was full of a sense of wisdom. It was undoubtedly very attractive to a little girl who was just starting to fall in love.

"Well, I'm going to study in Casper City!"

Wu Ming casually mentioned the name of his school, and the girl opposite said in an exclamatory tone: "You have actually passed the university entrance examination? Oh my god, sir, you will definitely become a great person in the future!"

She unconsciously used honorifics and attracted the attention of the entire carriage to Wu Ming.

Anyone with a high school graduation certificate can take the college entrance examination. There are many "old birds" in society who have taken the exam for several years, more than ten years, or even continue to study in college after reaching middle age.

Wu Ming glanced at the books in the girl's hand: ""Function Analysis", "New Materials"... Are you also a college student?"

"no no!"

The girl opposite blushed with embarrassment: "This is my sister's book, I can borrow it to read..."

At her age, if she can understand these books, she should have received a middle school education, but she is not yet a college student, and she has obviously failed several times.

"oh!"

Wu Ming said lightly and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he looked at the scenery outside the window, seeming a little absent-minded. In fact, he was secretly communicating with the main god space in the sea of ​​consciousness.

In this space, a special area has been isolated, which contains the souls of thousands of petitioners saved by the ghost ship last time.

The place where they lived was a large plain with some buildings on it.

Petitioners do not need to eat, sleep and other behaviors to maintain their physiological activities. The reason why they are like this now is just the influence of their habits during life and a little spiritual sustenance.

And they spend most of their time in prayer every day.

"My Lord, you are the Lord of salvation!"

"Your Kingdom of God accepts our souls, and your way runs through the world!"

"You are all in all, the God above gods, the eternal Lord. Your true name will be eternal in the future!"

…

Having said that, if these prayers spread in a world with a true god, they will definitely cause an uproar and be unanimously hostile to all gods.

But now?

Although he doesn't know if there is a true god in this steampunk world, Wu Ming has not seen a particularly influential religion, and he closes the door in the main god's space and plays by himself. As long as it doesn't spread, it doesn't matter at all.

"The beliefs of these petitioners are still very devout... Unfortunately, the number is still too small, and the spiritual power that the soul form can provide is also limited. After all, most of them have to supply and maintain their own existence first..."

Wu Ming looked at it from a God's perspective, and then sighed silently in his heart.

His understanding of Shinto is extraordinary, and he knows that so-called believers are slightly divided into three levels: pan-believers, devout believers, and fanatic believers.

Pan-believers are the group of people who worship God when they see them, and even pseudo-believers can be included.

A devout believer is a true believer and is a precious asset to any god.

As for the fanatics? The ultimate form that can be encountered but cannot be sought is the Holy Spirit that coincides with the way of gods!

Because these dead souls were redeemed by Wu Ming, their beliefs were generally very strong at this time, and they were considered devout believers. There were also a few fanatics among them. In the secular world, they could probably maintain the foundation of a church.

But for the main god space, this power of faith, or spiritual power is still not enough! Far from enough!

"The main god's space does not have the power of Daluo, but it has the power of creation!"

Wu Ming's consciousness emerged from the pearl, and he looked at the pool of golden spiritual liquid in front of him, silently.

"Rudimentary... This space is really too rudimentary... There isn't even a subroutine for auxiliary operations. It's just like a blank sheet of paper. I need to add everything myself..."

Of course, Wu Ming cannot manage the entire space alone, otherwise this kind of complicated work will simply bore him to death.

"Therefore, it is very necessary to establish several core programs, and they must also comply with the rules of this world..."

After all, the main god space is not the main temple. It does not have the power of Daluo. The initial development is still based on this world. Therefore, even if Wu Ming wants to make any moves, he cannot violate the basic rules of this world.

"From what I understand, in this world, there is no need to think about light brains, intelligent brains, etc., but there are also possibilities..."

Wu Ming waved his hand, and nearly two thousand assembly drawings and hundreds of thousands of parts construction drawings appeared.

"Steam Difference Engine and Analytical Engine, the highest technology in this steampunk world!"

Wu Ming murmured.

This kind of design drawing is not a secret. Tons of drawings are placed in the storage room of the big library, and there is no fear of being stolen, because to successfully build it is an unimaginably huge project!
