"We're here to see the Divine Infant."
Lu Nanzhi stated their purpose, and then the miniature screen slowly led the two into the depths of the base.

Chu Ling pushed the door open and stepped inside, then paused, slightly furrowing her brow as she looked downward.

The Divine Infant's emotions did not show distress.
Nor did they show joy.

Yet now, he was crawling on the floor—has he developed self-awareness?

Chu Ling watched the baby clinging to her leg, clutching at the hem of the Goddess's robe, with a sudden inexplicable feeling of pity rising within her.
And then she noticed it.
There were several tiny mechanical components on the cloth wrapping the infant.
