Gate of Apocalypse

“Around the corner, what's the word?” Heaven raised his head and looked at the plaque in front of him. He could not read it for half a day.

“Book. Temple of Eternal Life.” Zero lane.

The three men stood in a long white jade passage leading straight forward to a giant palace in front of them.

The tunnel is hundreds of metres wide, but it is fractured and there are signs of defects everywhere.

On both sides of the channel and at the defect, is a illusory night sky, with countless starbuckets hanging around and flashing indefinitely.

Along the way, the White Jade Passage is getting higher and higher, and those broken marks are getting worse and worse, looking like they've been destroyed by some ancient god.

By the time we approached the palace, the White Jade Passage had disappeared completely, leaving only broken pieces, suspended in a pitch-black void.

As for the palace, apart from the fact that it was barely well counted on the front, the rest of it had collapsed. And that plaque that Tian Feng had just read hung above the main entrance of the palace.

“The Hall of Everlasting Life? Hmmm... looks like, where does it look like it's going to last?” Heavenly sneer: “Who made this place look like a ghost? ”

“I don't know.” Zero Shake: “It's been like this for a long time since I can remember. ”

After that, he didn't see any movement, and a light-yellow halo wrapped the three of them up.

Tian Li and Nicole only felt soft under their feet, like stepping on marshmallows, being pushed up and flying along the White Jade Passage in the direction of the palace.

The three men were wrapped up in halos, flying extremely fast, except that the strong winds were blocked out of the halos and little could be felt flying.

It's just that the white jade passage under the feet of the three of us is too long. Although the halo is fast enough, a moment passes and the palace in front is just a little closer.

“How big! ”

Nicole stared wide-eyed and watched as the stars slowly flowed around her. The white jade channel at her feet swept backwards, but the palace still seemed to be in the distant sky, staring at her: “I didn't think there was that much space in the Zero City... compared to it, the Zero City itself was... like a pigeon cage! ”

It took a dozen minutes to reach the palace. And by then, Nicole and Heaven were amazed at the immensity of the palace.

Although only a small fraction of the front palace remains intact, it remains incredibly large. Though built in the stars, the palace is like a mountain, slowly upwards, stacked with villas and magnificent atmosphere.

And under that tablet, thousands of steps up, three tiny as three ants.

“Here we are.”

With a faint sound, the yellow halo wrapped three people down and stopped at the door of the palace: "From here on out, you can no longer fly by my authority. ”

“Not bad, at least you don't have to climb that high.” Heaven blew a whistle: “What's next? Walk in? ”

“Yes.” Nodded, stepping forward first.

The main entrance to the palace was almost as big as a building, but two doors were missing, and it was no longer known where it was scattered to the stars.

Walk into the door and a golden glow will appear in the eye curtains of the three of you. The main hall, from the floor to the columns to the beams and rooftops above the head, is all solid gold.

“The outburst of households.” Heavenly grins, pointing forward: “Is that it? ”

Empty and empty, there are no seats or anything, but in the center, nine giant columns surround a railing. Looking away, the middle of the railing is empty.

“Yes. Please come with me. ”

Zero Step to the position of those nine giant columns, Tian Li and Nicole followed behind him.

Tian Li and Nicole only saw the middle of the railing when they approached it.

That circle of railings enclosed a circle about a few meters in radius, in the center of the railing, without a floor, but a white chaos.

In the middle of that chaos, a tiny black dot is slowly spinning, diastolically contracting at a fixed rhythm, like a beating heart.

Nicole glanced at it as if she had been sucked into the black dot and could never pull it out again.

The black dot soared in Nicole's sight, devouring all her horizons and covering her in heaven and earth.

Even the feeling of time was instantaneously distorted, and Nicole was thrown into space, and her body had disappeared, leaving only her point of view to swiftly patrol.

A sublime sensation penetrated her body instantly. Millions of stars flew past her, but just rubbed past, without touching half a dot.

Long as it had been tens of thousands of years, Nicole shook herself and a heavy palm patted her on the shoulder.

With that beat, Nicole's gaze began to rise rapidly, and she quickly disengaged from the black dot and returned to the hall. "Ah” shouted.

From the forehead to the back, it's all cool. Nicole stretched out her hand and rubbed it against her forehead, touching all the sweat in her hand.

The color of the sky next to her is also not very nice, but much better than Nicole's.

“Stop looking. With your current strength, it's unbearable.” Heavenly looked at Nicole and shook her head slowly.

“What should I... do? ”

Nicole crossed her head and dared not look at the railing again, just turning to ask zero.

“Jump in.” Zero gazed similarly at the black dot in chaos and pressed his hands against the railing, softly.

“Jump in?!” Nicole stared wide-eyed: “You mean jump into this railing? ”

“Yeah, trust me, it's gonna be okay.” Zero, shake your head gently: “Please hurry, we don't have much time, Chen... will be here soon. ”

“Wait.”

Heaven frowned and suddenly stretched out his hand in front of Nicole: “Now that we're here, there's no hurry. Some things, it's better to ask. What happens when she jumps in? ”

Zero glanced at the sky and looked calm: “On the way here, I already said, get the highest authority in Zero City. ”

“I know." Tian Li impatiently interrupted Zero: “I asked," What happens when Nicole gets this top privilege? ”

He paused and continued: “I remember every word you said clearly. When you first appeared before us, you said that Chen Xiaoliang had the authority to control you, so he could give you orders. One of them is to stop Chen from obtaining your authority.

But just now, at the third level, you tell that man... well, it's Chris, you tell him that whoever gets your authority, Zero City, as an entity, will disappear forever.

So please explain clearly to me whether getting your authority means giving you orders or causing Zero City to disappear! I won't let Nicole go on until you give me enough answers to my satisfaction. ”

“Heavenly...” Nicole frowned and was severely interrupted by Heavenly: “Shut up and listen up, you silly bitch! ”

Nicole frowned, but she still pressed down her anger and didn't make it.

“I'm sorry, I may not have explained enough to you because of the time that led to your confusion.” Zero slow shaking head: "Chen Xiaoliang has the authority, which is completely different from what Chen wants to seize.

Chen Xiaocao has the authority to be my ‘administrator’. Having this authority means that any instruction can be given to me, and I must execute it, unless the person with the same or higher authority gives another instruction that contradicts it.

Get admin privileges in another place called Room Zero. And the Temple of Eternal Life is my core place. What Chen wants is at the heart of me. In other words - it's me. ”

“Yourself?” The fierce eyebrows are twisted: “Let me get this straight. ”

“If you want to give an example…” Zero thought for half a second, slowly: “To open and use a computer, you must have an account. And Zero City, that's the computer.

As for me, it's the operating system that's installed on this computer.

For most of the time before, there were many resident teams in Zero City, but no one had an administrator account. They can only use the default visitor account, so many features don't turn on. In fact, none of the senators in Zero City had any communication with me, nor did they know I existed.

Chen Xiaoliang, the first person in a long time to come to Zero City with the initial template, was given sub-high privileges. Therefore, he has an administrator's account and can give me instructions that cannot be contravened.

Now, what Chen wants is not a software-level account, but to shut down the system, unpack my chassis, and take away my CPU. ”

“So in order not to let Chen get the CPU, you have to give it to Nicole first?” Tighter and tighter the eyebrows: “What happens when you get that CPU? ”

“I don't know.” Zero Shake Head: “As a program, I can't imagine going beyond what I exist. I can only follow the instructions given by Chen Xiaoliang. ”

“Whether or not there is such a possibility…” the heavenly silence: “Nicole… becomes a procedure just like yours, no longer a living person, but only mechanically executes the orders of a person. Like... Chen Xiaoliang? ”

“Sorry, this question is beyond my competence and I cannot answer it.” Zero shook his head again.

“What if... she refuses?” The sky stares straight at zero.

“I'm just a program and I can't force anyone, so if she refuses, the result will be that I won't be able to complete the instructions given by Chen Xiaocai.” The sound of zero is still calm.

“Tianli, since when do I need you to head my house?” Nicole's cold voice came from behind the sky: “Out of the way. ”

“What are you doing?” Tian Feng turned his head and glanced at Nicole, pointing at Zero: “Do you really want to be this guy's program? ”

“I'd be happy to pay such a small price if it turned out to be cheap for Chen.” Nicole sneered, “If I remember correctly, you said before I went into Zero, you wouldn't stop me from doing my thing. So, please step aside. ”

The sky stared at Nicole, and Nicole couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Their eyes collided violently in the air.

“Okay.”

A moment later, Tian Feng gently sighed: “Do whatever you want. Sorry, it's me. ”

The heavenly side of the body leaves the blocked railings open.

“Thank you." Nicole nodded coldly and stepped towards the railing.

As Nicole approached, the railing opened automatically.

Nicole took a deep breath and leapt straight into the chaos beneath her feet.

But her body had just jumped, and suddenly it was rated in the air.

Zero City turned sharply and looked through the gate of the palace, projecting towards the end of the White Jade Passage.

On the far side, the blonde-haired man pushed open the door and one foot just stepped on the ground.

His right hand held Adam and his left hand stretched out into the air in front of him, palms facing the palace.

“I never thought you'd find another life form. Fortunately, it took a lot of time, but it was timely. ”

Despite the distance, the voice of the Chen still clearly reached the temple of Eternal Life: "Okay. So now, give me back my singularity! ”
