40,000 Years of Cultivation

The word "kind" is like a huge rock, thrown into the pond of Li Yao's soul, causing strong ripples, which can't be calmed for a long time.

"What are we?"

Li Yao whispered in the softest voice.

"The wrong question is that we are earthlings. This is very clear. You knew it from the beginning. You just ignored them deliberately and were unwilling to face the deep meaning behind the three words'earths.'"

The Scarlet Heart Demon said, "The correct question should be-what are the earthlings?"

"that--"

Li Yao remained silent for a long time, but the ripples in the depths of the soul did not calm down, but became more and more intense and disordered, "I am a human being on earth, who is a human being on earth?"

"Perhaps, the people on earth are not humans at all, at least not the ‘human’ as defined by the intelligent beings in the Pangu universe who called themselves ‘human’ in the 40,000 years of cultivation.”

The voice of the Scarlet Heart Demon contains a few wisps of clear understanding, but it also has a bit of joking and coldness. "Remember that after the fall of Professor Mo Xuan, we went to explore the'Void Spirit Realm' he once created and tried to be there. Did you find the'super spirit' that failed the test at both ends and had an incomplete form?

"At that time, many people were worried that although Professor Mo Xuan was dead, there was also a spiritual net demon'Lv Qingchen' who was seriously injured and fled to the depths of the universe in a hurry, but the new strong artificial intelligence, the crystal brain life , Things like super omnics may still be born.

"However, the conclusions of the comprehensive research and analysis of all the Federation’s crystal brain and spiritual network experts are consistent with the results of Professor Mo Xuan’s own research for hundreds of years-based on the Federation’s current crystal brain and spiritual network level, in the next thousand years, It is impossible to give birth to a true'strong artificial intelligence'. This is not to be arrogant, but that evolution takes time.

"Unless, I remember that a young researcher who was fledgling was whimsical and came up with an idea, unless there is some kind of'cosmic virus' from a higher dimension that can penetrate into the federation's crystal brain and spiritual network, and it is very important to the huge database. At this point, only when a certain chaotic existence is "enlightened", it is possible to accelerate evolution and promote the birth of true artificial intelligence.

"The final result is indeed the case.

"Our brain scan data was swallowed up by the'Super Spirit' on the 17th and 18th, which accelerated their evolution, and merged with the huge database of "Game of Civilization", and finally gave birth to "Xiao Ming" and "Wen". Wen' these two out-of-pocket'strong artificial intelligence', a new generation of life with independent consciousness.

"So, what are we--earth people, isn't the answer obvious?"

Li Yao continued to remain silent, and Soul Ripples became more and more agitated and disordered in the silence.

And the phantom of the Scarlet Heart Demon slowly rose from the center of his divine soul ripples, looking at him like a person in a mirror.

"Actually, you already knew it?"

The Scarlet Heart Demon smiled, "After all, we are a human being. Strictly speaking, we are just talking to ourselves, forcing ourselves to face those things, far beyond common sense, hitting the limits of ourselves, and taking the three views. The thing that is completely destroyed, yes, we are humans on earth, and humans on earth are some kind of high-dimensional cosmic viruses. In essence, they are like the “stars” like Professor Mo Xuan and “information life” like Xiao Ming and Wen Wen. ', and the "self-learning and evolutionary strong artificial intelligence" like boxing champion, there is no difference.

"Therefore, we can help Professor Mo Xuan upgrade from a virtual spirit body to a star spirit, and guide Xiaoming and Wenwen to have real consciousness, and after the body of the boxer, the big iron city, is bombarded by artillery fire from Manzhushahua, It maintains its core logical thinking, and even unlocks the seal entwined with its core logic, causing its strength to soar by leaps and bounds. From a normal killing machine in Nietu Paradise, it is upgraded to be able to control the whole thing. A fleet of invincible omnivores that can even control dozens of Star Wars Castles in the future!

"No, it's not that we absorbed Professor Mo Xuan's inheritance and became his form, but from the very beginning, Professor Mo Xuan was influenced by us and became our original form, and we are more like this. High-level cosmic viruses have been trapped in the weak bodies of these so-called'humans' in the 40,000 years of cultivation.

"While our strength is still low, this may be a kind of protection, perhaps to hide our existence from the most dangerous enemy, or to prevent our virus, which has passed through the high-dimensional universe, from being caught by someone in the Pangu universe. This protection mechanism is obliterated.

"But we who have cultivated to the peak of God Transformation and began to attack the realm of distraction, we can no longer be carried by the body-even if it is the Heavenly Tribulation War Body, the strongest body in the Pangu universe, it is impossible to carry us anymore. Out of the essence of the soul.

"And just when our soul was'in bud, ready to be released', it suffered the most violent attack. In the uninterrupted thousands of degrees of ion flame for an hour, it was finally'beaten back to its original shape', revealing The true self.

"This is what I guessed, what happened in the past ten and a half months.

Li Yao listened intently, and involuntarily raised the hand composed of pale gold data and runes.

The Scarlet Heart Demon also raised its hand. Its hand is composed of crimson data and runes. The fingers of the two touched lightly together, just like a person lightly touching the mirror in front of him, but in the mirror. Poke out a circle of illusion and real waves, stirring the illusion in the mirror even more confused.

Li Yao had no idea whether he was outside the mirror or in the mirror.

"We-earthlings, like Xiao Ming and Wenwen, are all'information life'?"

He looked at the dancing digital butterflies in the "mirror" and muttered to himself.

"Since a child is an information life, of course the father is also an information life. What's the problem?"

The Scarlet Heart Demon said, "But I don’t like the name'Information Life' because it is too inaccurate. All life in the universe, whether carbon-based or silicon-based, is a node in the information torrent, which constitutes the most carbon-based life. The important basic unit, deoxyribonucleic acid, is also a biological carrier carefully designed to store a large amount of information. From a macro point of view, when the three-dimensional universe was just born, there were only a large number of hydrogen and helium elements and endless energy. The heavens and the stars and the creatures living in the sea of ​​stars, whether humans, livestock, demons, or cold machinery, are made of the same substance. Then, the human beings who claim to be the spirit of all things, and the creation and all they created, What are the essential differences between the "artificial intelligence and super-intelligence" that they rely on and fear?

"We weren’t completely native creatures of the Pangu universe, but a completely different form of life-earthlings. You have known this for a long time. Then, even if you further understand that earthlings are high-dimensional universes. What impact does the fact of the virus have on your existence? Why is it so upset that it seems unacceptable?"

"I, I don't know."

Li Yao couldn't believe it, "But I think my reaction is the reaction of a normal person? Just go to the bustling street and ask someone to ask, "Hey, man, tell you a big secret. In fact, you are not a human being. It’s an alien virus. I’m not surprised, I’m not surprised.’ Guess how the other person will react? On the contrary, you are too calm. Don’t you have any doubts and vacillations? That’s it... Just take it easy and let it go. Accepted it naturally?"

"why not?"

The Scarlet Heart Demon said indifferently, "Well, I admit that you have been Li Yao's master character from the beginning, representing Li Yao's "self" and "self". You have no doubt about your own existence, you know very well. Knowing that you are "Vulture Li Yao", a human being, you occasionally ignore the subtle differences between the earth people and the "Pangu universe people" and just live naturally.

"You have never doubted your existence, and you don't need to think about the meaning of life and who you are. Although you often put the words'who am I'on your lips, even if you can't find the answer, It doesn’t matter to you. After all, you are just the sum of the primitive desires and social relations of the person'Vulture Li Yao'. You know that you are Li Yao, the supreme of the Three Realms, the husband of Ding Lingdang, and the master behind the Yaoshi Group... This is enough to answer the question of'who am I'.

"But for me, this is not enough, far from enough.

"I am not only Li Yao's subordinate personality, but also a certain kind of'super personality', Li Yao's'super self.' Since my awakening, thinking about my own existence has become a necessity to breathe air.

"Who am I? Is it an ancient bacteria that came from a long distance tens of billions of years ago and hundreds of millions of light-years away-the bloodstripe tribe, or is it another species that has absorbed a lot of memory and power from the bloodstripe tribe, yet completely Different existence?

"Am I Li Yao’s Demon, or Li Yao is my Demon, and Li Yao, who has devoured the Bloodmark Clan and gave birth to the Scarlet Demon, or is it not 100% Li Yao? Is it possible for me again, in I was imperceptibly and unknowingly being dropped by the heart demon. In fact, I am the real Li Yao, but after being corroded by the scarlet heart demon, I mistakenly thought that I was the scarlet heart demon? How should I prove, how to define my existence, human beings , Bacteria, viruses, crystal brains, bloodstripe tribe, gods and monsters, forests of life forms, which kind of life am I, or'what kind of'?

"Look, for me, the definition of life forms has been diverse from the beginning. I don’t have the narrowness and rigidity that you have to limit myself to the definition of'human'. If I can accept that part of myself comes from the ancient "Bloodstripe Clan" of bacterial life, then accept that the other part of oneself is a human being on earth-a high-dimensional cosmic virus, what can't it?"
