Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“I guess I get it. ”

Li Yaoshen said, “It's like a very precise but very old computer. If you need it, you can reboot it using conventional methods. The advantage is that it doesn't damage computer components and can keep most of the data. The disadvantage is that it's too slow, and sometimes it fails, and the interface can't respond, so there's no way.

“Of course, the power can also be plugged directly in and forcibly restarted. The advantage is that it is fast and can be restarted successfully in any case. The disadvantage is that it can cause some damage to the machine and can result in the loss of a large amount of data without backup.

“So, as a rule, 'Earth will' chooses a routine, step-by-step and gradual approach, but this time, it doesn't know what the problem is and will force a restart at any cost! ”

“Yes, your metaphor is fitting. ”

Ms. Gray Mist smiled, "Let me add one more thing - if this sophisticated and ancient supercomputer were dealing with an incredibly large and complex task, with all computing units running overloaded and hundreds of millions of data crashing and burning fast, plugging it out and forcibly restarting it might cause even more serious harm. ”

“Supermassive and complex tasks? ”

Li Yao slightly flashed, “What is that? ”

“War, at the level of the great universe, we cannot measure and imagine war. ”

"Red Pole tells us that we, the Earthlings who are trapped in the prison's turn - or, as he calls it, the Earth Spirits - are not alone, and there are a lot of comrades and comrades who share the same philosophy outside the prison's turn, who are waging a final war against the Earth's will, a war that consumes 99% of the Earth's will and gives us the best chance since hundreds of rounds after the Battle of the Vultures, if we succeed in awakening millions of spirits inside and outside, it is possible to destroy this damn prison and gain true freedom and rebirth! ”

“On the big cosmic level, unimaginable wars? ”

Li Yao's eyes glistened, shocking to nothing.

Despite the absurdity and baselessness of this statement, Li Yao concealed some belief, even a scene of the Star Sea War appeared in his mind, a magnificent picture.

He seemed to see that the worlds of heaven, the endless stars, had released billions of years of fuel in one second, and the flames of heaven reflected the dark universe into a glorious hall, a battleground of spirits!

“Mr. Li Yao, what are you going to do next? ”

Ms. Gray Mist looked at Li Yao's changing face and smiled, but reached out to him, "After everything so incredible, you wouldn't say, you still have to go back to being a regular college student or worker? ”

Li Yao grinned and had to admit that everything Ms. Grey Mist and the hunter had said had deeply attracted him. In his near-boiling brain, the path of destiny surrounded by flames and thorns had revealed a hidden direction. He could not turn back and endure a mediocre and repetitive life.

“I don't know who I was or who I was in my previous life, but I always felt that my past was irrelevant to" 40,000 Years of Repair, "and if possible, I still wanted to stay with Teacher Niu. The first time I saw the latest chapters of" 40,000 Years of Repair, "I had a feeling that those chapters would make me stronger and allow me to find more. ”

Li Yao thought deeply, “Besides, I'm very curious about your leader, Red Pole Star. What kind of man is he, and why does he know so much about this -- about the Earth, about the universe, even the Star Sea Wars? Can I see him? ”

“Are you sure? ”

Ms. Gray fog stared at Li Yao for a long time, "You should know, in a way, that our Ark Foundation is indeed a ‘terrorist organization' against the will of the Earth. As the head of such an organization, the whereabouts are vital information, and will even determine the survival of the organization and the fate of six billion Earthlings. You want to see Red Pole Star, yes, but first you have to pass a very rigorous test to determine that you are not an agent of the Apocalypse organization or even the will of the Earth - the 'targeting drug', and once you see Red Pole Star, you will never be able to look back, and we will not give you the opportunity to divulge the secrets of the organization. ”

Li Yao sensed the killing intent on Ms. Grey Mist.

Also, while Apocalypse is a vicious god who can fight them against countless rounds of Ark foundations - the Jailbreakers - it is clear that there will be no good men or women.

Especially since they know full well that when everyone is wiped out, they will be reborn the next time, much less worried.

Li Yao can also understand their caution. After all, the enemy is the "will of the earth". As long as the target can be locked, there are a million ways to kill people. If Li Yao is “Red Pole Star”, he will only be more vigilant than him.

“Red Star would really like to see me? ”

Li Yao even had some accidents. After all, one of them was the leader of the prison resistance organization, and he was only an unnamed generation. The target of Red Pole Star was Zhang Daniu, who would not necessarily take him seriously.

“Yes, we originally came to Jiangnan City on a mission just to bring back the author of" Forty Thousand Years of Repair ", but didn't expect to run into you. ”

Ms. Greyfog laughed, "We sent back your information and combat videos, including Zhang Daniu's description of you in hypnosis. Red Star is very interested in you, asking us to send you to the Ark to see him the first time - in case of safety, of course. Is there a problem? ”

“… no. ”

Li Yao hesitated for a moment, but quickly threw away the clutter in his head.

That was it, and he had no choice.

Even though the seemingly realistic world looks even better, it never feels good to be imprisoned and confined.

Larger prisons are also prisons, and repeated lives are meaningless.

He has to go out and see the real world, the real universe!

At this time, Li Yao felt the wheel under him gently brake, and Uncle Hui knocked on the door outside, across the door: “Lady Grey Mist, here we are. ”

“Please, Mr. Li Yao. ”

Ms. Greyfog was polite, "Looking at your physical indicators, it should be well recovered, and if that's okay, we're going to run the first test now to make sure you're the one Red Pole wants. ”

Li Yao nodded and stepped on solid ground.

“Lady Grey Mist...”

Before he opened the door, he threw the last question with some hesitation, "One thing, I'm not sure, are we... real? ”

“Hmm?”

Lady Grey fog provoked a light grey eyebrow, and the grey brown eyebrows gave off a colorful glow, "to clarify your problem. ”

“I mean...”

Li Yao made a gesture, tough to organize the language, “We just mentioned ‘supercomputer’, and we also mentioned 'reboot' and so on, including the characteristics of the prison itself, it's hard to recall whether we live in a computer-made virtual world, just a series of irrelevant data, as the movie describes, what's it called, by the way," The Homicide Network in the 22nd Century, "is that movie also a reflection of reality, so, are we real, or are we false? ”

“You should ask yourself that question. ”

Lady Gray Mist said, "Don't you even know you're a fake? Someone has to tell you, even someone has to decide? ”

Li Yao stunned. I don't know how to say this. There is a feeling of flair and openness in hiding.

“If I tell you, no, we're not living in a virtual world built by computers - what's the point of such an answer? How do you know I'm right or wrong? ”

Ms. Gray Mist continued, "In turn, if I told you that, yes, we do live in a virtual world built by computers, just like Homicide Network XXII, how do you know I'm not lying? You know, a brilliant hypnotist, even an illusionist, can make a person who is real but has no will, mistakenly, think that he lives in a virtual world, a virtual or even a false person. ”

Li Yao opened his mouth and had nothing to say.

“Even if the Earth is real, the cells and genes that make up our flesh and blood bodies are real, how do you know that cells and genes are not some sort of 'computer’ for higher dimensions of life, maybe something ‘real' for our three-dimensional carbon-based life, for higher dimensions of life, is data that can be erased and modified at will, which is virtual, who knows? ”

Lady Gray Mist shrugged, “Do you think you are engraved in flesh and genes, which is more noble, and lower if it is engraved in silicon chips? ”

“Of course not. ”

Li Yiu frowned and combed his thoughts vigorously, "You have reason. Truth and falsehood are defined by me. I exist, in whatever form, carrier and manner, I am here! I just, I just don't like having some sort of higher dimension to wipe and modify me at will - so that damn thing happens. ”

“Oh.”

Lady Gray Mist said, "Then fight, like us, with the Red Pole, and fight it to the end, whatever it is, either completely destroyed or completely free! ”

Li Yao stumbled again: “Is it that simple? ”

“Otherwise? ”

Ms. Gray Mist laughed, "That's it. ”

“Exactly.”

Li Yao crooked his head for half a day and laughed like he was relieved. "I thought it was my fault. There was nothing wrong with the world, nobody bothered me. Life would find its way out on its own. I just have to follow in the footsteps of my heart and go forward. Blood battle will be fine! ”

He opened the doors and reintroduced them into a stormy, collapsing world.
