Chapter 583: A Brief Childhood
This newly born consciousness was indeed like a clean sheet of paper.
It lacked human cognition and, for the time being, human emotions.
It did not need care and attention like a newborn infant.
It could communicate from the very beginning.
"What does 'Mom' mean?"
A confused voice echoed deep within Ye Yao's Soul.
"This is troublesome. It seems I still need to teach it a few things; it can't be played with just yet."
Ye Yao continued to explore the functions and finally saw the "Education" interaction option, which allowed it to instill its own understood values, outlook on life, and worldview into the newborn consciousness.
It was essentially a specialized textbook, and even the examples were based on Ye Yao's personal experiences.
There were no instant, ready-made products; it was full of cultivation elements.
Even if the consciousness of 【Fission】 grew rapidly, it would likely experience an unforgettable "childhood."
Just as Ye Yao was thinking about how to be a "Mom."
A voice full of confusion echoed deep within its Soul once again.
"Who am I?"
This was undoubtedly an opportunity for it to form self-awareness.
It did not need to go through a period of Chaos like an infant, relying on instinct for everything.
Having just awakened, it seemed to already possess the ability to think.
It had completely skipped the most troublesome phase.
Ye Yao chose to communicate with it again.
"You are the manifestation of the World-Destroying Ability 【Fission】, equivalent to transforming from a dead object into a living one, and I—Ye Yao—am the one who gave you consciousness.
Although your underlying logic is to destroy the world, from now on, I will correct your instincts. Prepare to be dominated by me!"
Without any concealment, it directly pointed out its situation.
Ye Yao applied pressure without a second thought.
To be honest, applying pressure to a newborn consciousness might be a bit shameless.
But this was the consciousness of a World-Destroying Ability; how could it be treated like an ordinary person?
A mere cup has no human rights to speak of!
Furthermore, it didn't even have a body; it didn't even have the qualifications to be a cup yet.
"Ye Yao..."
After Ye Yao gave it self-awareness, a murmur slightly revealing attachment stirred up a slight ripple.
Clearly, the identity Ye Yao set was taking effect.
It seemed this would guide its cognition in those directions.
Would anyone really possess a series of contradictory identities like "lover, pet, toy, cup, etc." all at once?
Ye Yao checked slightly, and the System said it would indeed develop in the direction it expected.
This was getting exciting!
"It seems I have to raise it well. Since I can't release it anyway, I'll just treat it as a community of shared destiny for all eternity."
Ye Yao prepared to teach it about this world.
If it were done in a straightforward way, it would be much easier.
It checked its Attribute Points balance; 190 remained. It couldn't do anything with that, so it would save it as a backup hidden energy source.
Ye Yao got up from Sen Tong and stretched, then walked outside.
The dual-zone battle seemed to have ended.
In other words, Xia Lian had won.
As for which Xia Lian it was, it was definitely not the Standard Xialian.
"White Kitty, someone is bullying me~"
Standard Xialian was about to pounce on Ye Yao, but was grabbed by Dimension Xialian, who blocked it firmly.
"You disgraceful thing! You are not allowed to love the cat. Only the strong can possess a good cat. Don't you see the look of disdain in White Kitty's eyes?"
"As if you aren't being looked at with disdain too!"
The two zones began Hissing at each other again.
Indeed, only one can manage oneself.
If they could keep targeting each other, Ye Yao would be happy to be idle.
But once they started cooperating, it would be troubled.
While the two were arguing, Ye Yao swaggered past, pretending not to see them.
Looking at the scene of Mu Luo and the others getting along happily on the other side, that is what you call normal communication!
Then, it was time to wait for the arrival of the Interstellar Wild Dogs.
...
As time passed.
Lou Wei had stayed in the parallel space-time for a while and was in no rush to find a way back to the original time-space.
The biggest reason was that Ye Yao was also here.
As long as Ye Yao was still in the parallel space-time, Lou Wei could stay.
And during this time, Lou Wei was also applying pressure to its counterpart.
After all, no matter which time-space, the Interstellar Overlord was a formidable enemy that was difficult to defeat.
If it wanted to minimize losses, it had to bring out more powerful combat strength than the other time-space.
First, it couldn't let those alien warriors come to Blue Star.
If it could instantly kill all the cannon fodder in a short time, it would likely be able to challenge the final BOSS in one go.
And this was the battle plan of Director Jie Fuqi and the others.
First, it had to optimize the Exclusive Form Technique; it had to be kept at a level that wouldn't cause death, and slightly weakening the stats was not impossible.
Although it might not be able to compete with the Interstellar Overlord, it could at least instantly kill other cannon fodder.
Fu Qi had once been able to activate the Exclusive Form Technique twice in a row.
As long as it found that delicate balance, it wasn't impossible to make the Exclusive Form Technique even more perfect.
And against this background, the "Spiritual Qi Revival" arrived.
Ye Ge opened a new era in the name of "Ballad," Awakening Superpowers for all people and mastering a brand-new productive force.
She engraved the name "Ballad" into the Soul of every life on Blue Star, generously displaying unprecedented "miracles."
Surpassing the gods!
【Successfully opened a new era, rewarded 100 Attribute Points】
Ye Yao happily collected the one hundred Attribute Points; its mood to "educate" the Fission consciousness became even more enthusiastic.
"Dumb cat, listen well. You can call me Mom, Boss, Big Sister Ye Ge, Sister, Master, but you absolutely cannot call me White Kitty! Do not, under any circumstances, learn from that Xia Lian in my memory; she is a bad woman!"
"White Kitty, I want a name."
The voice in its mind replied.
"But I'm terrible at naming things. How about I just call you Xinglan? It means cradle of the stars. Besides, you've lulled quite a few stars to sleep."
Ye Yao's response was slightly casual, casually dropping a Hell joke.
Xinglan seemed to accept this casual name very quickly.
"Do you mean the kind that never wakes up? Destroying everything seems to count as a kind of peaceful sleep. In the words from your memory, death is a cool summer night..."
"Stop, stop, stop! My ears are going deaf! If I hear you muttering this nonsense in my head again, I will block you!"
"Mom, you can't handle it."
Xinglan tried to call out 'Mom' to awaken Ye Yao's maternal love.
It was just a pity that Ye Yao was never a real mother.
"Shut up. You are just my cup. Don't casually say things that can increase credibility. At least wait until you have a body before calling me that, okay?"
Ye Yao admitted that the growth speed of the "Fission" Xinglan was very fast.
It very quickly turned from a clean sheet of paper into a Scroll filled with various colors.
One could only say that it had learned many things from Ye Yao's memories.
However, these custom-made "textbooks" were not exactly serious.
After Ye Yao set up those bizarre identity settings, it was already quite good that no bugs occurred.
Xinglan's voice hesitated for a moment.
"Then... daughter?"
"I'm really going to drive you crazy."
