Chapter 264 Yuanshen
"...According to the research during this period of time, I think this big circle can indeed serve as the center for regulating the 'virtual environment recycling'."
"This kind of ring is growable. Even if it is not enough to control the virtual environment of the galaxy level, it is not a problem to be in charge of a broken virtual environment."
"And this kind of growth can also make it gradually become stronger with the growth of the virtual environment, and there will be no problem of overloading..."
"The remaining problem is how to make this ring have the ability to control."
"You, or rather, you also know that this ring is just an empty shell full of spiritual energy, and it doesn't have any ability to take the initiative."
"I don't know what used to drive it to act, but now this drive has completely disappeared, and it can only be 'lived' again..."
When explaining how to use the Great Circle, the "Last Ascended" seemed extremely excited, as if he felt that the heavy mission she carried was finally hoped to be completed.
However, when Li Wenyuan asked her how to restore the power of the Great Circle, she replied like this:
"It only needs to let a soul that is heavy enough to blend with the big ring."
"Just like programming a machine and implanting a soul into a body, the easiest way to restart the ring is to let a 'human' control it."
"Our psychic theory has this kind of 'soul implantation' related technology. Although it has not been tested on the existence of the Great Circle, I think it can be connected."
“This technology was regarded as one of the taboos in the past, but specific problems need to be analyzed in detail, and there is no more successful method than this.”
Although she didn't say who or "what" filled the big circle, in fact, the "soul that is heavy enough" in the request has already given the answer.
Is there any soul that is heavier than her soul that carries the souls of 1.2 million compatriots and entrusted by tens of billions of compatriots?
After listening to the words of "The Last Ascender", Li Wenyuan couldn't help but flashed a question in his mind:
Does the soul have weight?
If so, how much would she weigh at this time?
The scan of the spaceship has long shown that this "ascender" is no different from a normal creature, and there is no abnormal "overweight" situation.
But this does not prove that the soul has no weight. Even if the soul is only as heavy as an atom, it still has weight, and this weight will obviously not be reflected in the living body, because there are so many interference factors that it cannot be measured.
No one can tell whether the soul exists, and even the so-called "soul implantation" technology may just be a means of erasing the original memory and then re-injecting it.
The "Ascended" civilization has not reached any conclusions about this, either philosophically or ethically, which is why this technology is listed as taboo.
However, "The Last Ascended" obviously doesn't care about the nature of this technology. She only hopes to use the big circle to become the "god" of the virtual environment and restart this broken virtual environment.
"...I am the last group of people born. I was quickly born from a fertilized egg cell, and then used spiritual energy to directly implant the required knowledge during the fetal period, becoming a man-made 'one born to know'."
Perhaps interpreting the silence of the "Guardian" as hesitation, "The Last Ascended" suddenly told her story.
"At that time, my group was on the verge of destruction, and our group of people was ordered to be sealed in a freezing device in order to complete the great cause of revival of civilization someday in the future."
"But in fact, I was born inexplicably, was placed with high hopes inexplicably, was stuffed into the cryogenic compartment inexplicably, and then dealt with this rotten world inexplicably."
"I don't understand why I was born to make sure I deal with such a tricky mess. All kinds of good memories are stabilizing my spirit, but those are all implanted. I have never felt the joy in person."
"My compatriots must have noticed my vengeful feelings, but in the end they entrusted their entire soul to me without hesitation, leaving me alone."
"They just died with peace of mind, but I have to continue to live with difficulty. Why? Are they not afraid that I will go with them and let them fall short?"
Speaking of which, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"In the end they succeeded, and I had to bear the burden and walk alone in a tomorrow without a future."
"The emotion called 'responsibility' is driving my soul forward, especially when I am alone, this emotion becomes more and more intense, and it directly dispels my thoughts of suicide."
"I began to instigate the fallen to kill each other on a large scale, using my huge soul weight to divert part of their pain as a poison that fascinated them."
“I was also confused, but after I witnessed a fallen man die, cursing why ‘God’ created such a world, I figured it out.”
"Since we have created all this suffering, we are also responsible for ending it."
"We are not 'gods', but if all of these are 'created', then we will also shoulder our due responsibilities, even if we want to turn this body into a **** of the virtual world."
At this moment, the circle seems to have completed the connection, forming a closed loop.
【...The beginning of this history is you, and the end should also be you】
For no reason, Li Wenyuan suddenly thought of this sentence.
The beginning of the collapse of this galaxy is the "Ascended" civilization, and the end is also the "Ascended" civilization. If he hadn't come here, would this strange cycle continue?
Finally, he agreed with the idea of "the last ascendant", and at this moment, he saw that the burden-carrying man finally showed a relaxed smile with a heavy burden behind him.
Sometimes living is not necessarily a good thing, and death is not necessarily a punishment. Time will bring the answer.
A large number of psionic beacons were built in elliptical galaxies, serving as a bridge between the early virtual world and the real universe.
The void that was re-glued by the "Sky Veil Battleship" with "structural equipment" also slowly merged into the void, only the big circle remained motionless.
"The Last Ascendant" landed in the center of the ring, and its galaxy-level diameter made it impossible for her to see the body of the ring with the naked eye at this position, but she could feel that she was at the core of the spiritual energy field .
Her soul began to drift away, and the weight of 1.2 million people was gradually losing weight.
After unloading this burden, she realized that she could actually be so relaxed.
"Consciousness" is communicating with the huge circle through the bridge built by psionic energy, and it is getting deeper and deeper.
At this moment, she seemed to see the beginning and end of the world, and also saw the formation and decline of the virtual world.
All the emotions, thoughts, prayers, and fantasies of the creatures here have become small visible light spots, floating into the void bit by bit, and there is the void.
The big ring in the real universe also began to loom, as if it had been reactivated, and gradually disappeared in the real universe.
And in this illusory environment of the galaxy, a misty ring also appeared at this time.
She is not as huge as the one in the Galaxy Void, but she is shining with more brilliant light and... the color of life.
