Description[]
Intelligent Life (智能生命, Zhìnéng shēngmìng, lit. Intelligent/Smart Life, also called Living AI in the fan translation) is one of the many types of lifeforms in Swallowed Star. Intelligent Life is an evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), capable of feeling emotions and cultivating, the product of an already intelligent AI experiencing many things and existing for a long time. As such, they are relatively rare. As an artificial intelligence, it has no Spirit Energy, and can thus neither perform nor be harmed by Soul Attacks[1]. Intelligent Life can live forever[1], even if their bodies are destroyed, but they require a physical body (or other entity, like a spaceship) to perform physical actions.
As Intelligent Life is an evolution of AI, it can perform all actions that AI can, such as connecting to the Virtual Universe, operating Spaceships, connect to the internet, etc. Since they are essentially incredibly powerful computer programs, they are very stubborn in sticking to their programming. Their mental calculation capacity far exceeds that of other forms of life; other species have to become Immortal to reach the calculation speed of lower-level Intelligent Life.[2]
Every member of the Automaton Race is an Intelligent Life, which is why their technology far exceeds that of any other race.[3]
