"The Hume index calibration has been completed, and the stability of reality meets the requirements."

"The environment of creation is stable."

Thousands of oval cabins are neatly embedded in the walls of the long corridor, which is bright and spacious and displays a light golden metallic sheen. Within the light and solid closed structure, the information group full of life is beating calmly but powerfully like a heart, releasing unique weak ripples.

This is where the new life of the empire is born. Here, the souls emerging from the chaotic ocean of information will be "extradited" by the equipment here into their encapsulated shells, that is, bodies when they have the intention of coming to the world. When all bodies and souls merge and come to this world, they will be recorded by the equipment here and clearly marked to prove where the bodies and souls came from.

"The intention of the soul to "appear in this world" has been confirmed. The initial preservation identifier has been assigned, and the soul frequency has been coordinated, the relevant parameters have been verified, and the encapsulated body has been pre-designed."

Inside the oval cabin, there is a vastness and depth that is inconsistent with its appearance. There are hundreds of fireflies-like streams of light passing through this space that is not completely consistent with reality - that is how the instructions from the real world appear here.

In the center of the space, there is a golden light of uncertain shape, like clouds. After several streams of light passed around the light cloud, the golden light touched the invisible edge, and the invisible edge began to squeeze it gently, seeming to be shaping it. A clearer boundary began to appear in the streamer - it was a slender humanoid figure that was still somewhat blurry, but could already be identified.

"The soul is in a stable state, has a complete structure, and the activity of life activities meets relevant standards."

"The verification process is completed and the soul is allowed to be given an actual body."

The illusory and uncertain figure seems to be "lit" from within, and some actual and definite structures begin to form from the flow of light. They fill and stabilize the unstable figure, completing the "printing" process of transforming new life from nothingness to reality.

"Registration of imperial nationality, existence of ownership confirmation, has been bound to the corresponding facility registration information, and one-way protection has been established."

"Retrieve the original hobbies, original choices and original tendencies of the soul, start collecting...the collection is completed, start analyzing...accurately encapsulate the various elements of the body structure..."

"The subjective modification interface of the body is completed, the thinking space construction channel is opened, the portable space transmission permission is registered, and the relevant channels are opened..."

"Registration of the Empire's main authority system, retrieval of rules and initial granting... soft permission mode registration, hard permission mode registration, emergency permission mode registration... The underlying integration of the separation agreement and the forced custody agreement is completed."

"Detecting the state of the soul...the soul's understanding and acceptance of the purpose of each process that has been carried out meets the requirements."

"Inoculate the basic protection meme, inoculate the information emergency preservation meme, inoculate the malicious use passive counterattack meme, inoculate the emergency self-locking meme... the vaccination is completed, the soul and body are in good condition..."

The firefly-like instructions passed by quietly, as spectacular but fleeting as a meteor shower. Under their all-round illumination and influence, the inner body of this body, which is still in the process of solidification and waiting for its final shape, is rapidly being perfected.

"Carry out basic personality sorting, and clarify relevant parameters and logical structures. Provide basic world understanding and self-protection data encapsulation package. The encapsulation package has been implanted, and the unblocking process will proceed as the understanding expands..."

"The coordination of various body parameters is completed, and the final packaging process is executed..."

A translucent wall of light golden light completed its closing from the void, and the body was fixed on the path it was about to sweep. The wall of light moved forward slowly, sweeping every micro-element along the way. After its scanning, the body structure and body boundaries that were originally unstable were finally solidified.

"Conducting final comprehensive testing."

"The detection of soul stability and existing wisdom...completed, all indicators comply with relevant rules."

"The body integrity test... is completed, the body is stable, and all indicators meet the requirements."

"The body structure ability test...The test is completed. The relevant functions of the body are complete and capable of carrying out various normal structures."

"Detect the meme inoculation status and the specific performance of the inoculated meme... After the test is completed, the individual is stable and its resistance to passive disturbance meets the requirements."

"Detect the individual's initial state...confirm that the individual's initial cognitive concept has no focus of deterioration."

"The body coordination index meets the relevant requirements of the empire. A fuzzy comparison of big data...the relevant elements are at a medium level."

"Detection completed."

Along with these words, there was a semi-physical halo. This halo slowly swept downward from the top of the body, coating the body itself with a layer of golden light.

When the light cooled and dissipated, a piece of clothing appeared on the originally naked body - a white bodysuit with golden light patterns.

"Life number: 16-4-1-xs4028."

"...?"

"……What?"

In an instant, there seemed to be countless roars in my mind at the same time, and the feedback called "feelings" was felt by myself for the first time in this situation - they were completely different from everything before. Countless them emerged, as if they were going to completely submerge consciousness.

However, that kind of confusion was only short-lived. The sense of confusion brought about by the shock peaked and began to decline rapidly. The feedback that formed the perception was quickly coordinated and organized by the body's instincts, and they soon stabilized one after another.

"boundary……"

"I can't move, it's very difficult..."

"Soft, smooth...comfortable?"

"A little cold..."

"What are these...feelings?"

"Is this...'me'?"

When those feelings intersect with each other and finally merge, the new life feels the boundary between itself and the surrounding void environment. He felt his limbs and the sensations produced when every inch of "skin" came into contact with clothing. These sensations flowed from the limbs to the consciousness of new life, helping him understand and master his "self".

After merging with the body, this specific life finally completes its "awakening".

"Hello, new life." Just as the "person" floating in the void was continuing to become familiar with his various feelings, a clear and warm voice sounded from the void. For this new life, this voice also sounded deep in his consciousness.

"...'Who are you'?" Facing the sudden words, he felt a little surprised and confused for a moment. The surroundings still looked like boundless chaos, with only a few light streams of light drifting by from time to time. I... couldn't find the source of the sound. However, his reason and the sense of tranquility deep in his soul soon told him that the existence that gave this greeting was not hostile to him.

"I am an intelligent entity carried by the empire's facilities - you can understand me as an existence similar to yours on the inside but different in appearance." The voice continued to say unhurriedly.

"...Hello, then...what are you going to do?" xs4028 wanted to further understand everything that is happening now, but his control over his thoughts seemed to be affected - he felt that his thoughts seemed to flow to him Deep in his body, an untouchable darkness flowed into him, which made him feel a little dazed.

"Execute the fixed process - when you leave the last "door" here, you will face the fully unfolded real world without any concealment or reservation." The voice from the void continued to say in his consciousness . "This is the 'first exchange'."

"...That's it." xs4028, floating in nothingness, responded subconsciously. The huge hole in consciousness and thoughts no longer swallows up information endlessly. It becomes a huge, spacious and bright space - a huge, stable space that only exists in one's own thoughts and souls. The establishment of this space completely stabilized xs4028's thinking activities.

Some things seemed to have dissipated - some of the confusion caused by not being used to controlling the body in this way, and a trace of doubt and uneasiness that might have been hidden in my heart just now. They have all dispersed.

"...It seems that you have taken control of yourself, your new life." xs4028 then noticed that the voice had been silent for a while, until everything around him became clear again in his mind, "it" The words just started to continue.

"...Then, let's get started."

The surrounding chaos quietly solidified at some point, and they seemed to turn into a layer of black crystals, a thin barrier. With just a slight touch, these crystals will completely shatter.

"Crack."

The thin barrier shattered.

"what is that?"

The view "behind" the barrier has a clear, pure dark background.

There are countless shining feathers floating on the black background.

"...very beautiful." xs4028 subconsciously reached out his hand, trying to catch the light feathers that seemed to be falling and hold them in his palm. However, he discovered that the "feathers" that seemed within reach were actually far away from the endless nothingness.

"This is what the Empire looks like when viewed as a whole."

The voice of the intelligent entity said unhurriedly, "And I... need to help you get a preliminary understanding of this world."

xs4028 felt as if he was standing on some kind of "highway". He himself did not feel any movement, but the surrounding scenes were diluting this feeling - he felt that he seemed to be moving forward, toward that area. The glorious ocean, bright and far away, advances.

But it's also possible that... everything around him is rushing toward him?

The feeling of conflict brought him a bit of confusion, but the confusion did not last long. A more interesting scene attracted his attention - he saw a "feather" floating towards him. The feathers were warm and light. At first, it was a little blurry, but it didn't take too long, and I could already see the structure of the feather relatively clearly: it has an opposite main vein, and there are many slender, smooth velvets on the main vein. The feeling of those velvets is soft and fragile - it seems that they will break if you pull them a little, and they will melt if you touch them a little...

These feelings were blown away by the shock.

He saw those feathers rapidly expanding and enlarging. They swelled rapidly and stood tall against the sky. Everything in his field of vision was completely occupied by feathers...

Velvet itself is a cluster of countless, unimaginable lights!

However, that invisible highway didn't just send him here. He is still moving forward, or in other words, everything around him is still moving quickly towards him. And the details in the delicate feathers gradually unfold as they fall...

The entity that emits that brilliant light is countless bubbles that stir up the vitality of life.

"As beings of order, we exist inside the world of order. There are many, many worlds of order - both in quantity and type." A familiar voice sounded again, "We exist inside the world of order, and the world of order exists in the void. inside. If we are stories, reality, and special sparks in order, then the void is the blank paper that carries all stories and all possibilities, the endless spiral that supports all falsehoods and truths, and the infinity that breeds sparks and light spots. The earth..."

"All this is a direct knowledge of 'where we are'."

The invisible force pushed everything around to continue to undergo new changes, and countless light points passed by xs4028. xs4028 soon discovered that those so-called light points have complex and diverse internal structures and a vast and deep internal space. These spaces are just like the "void" in the outside world, carrying a brilliant and diverse ocean of light and fire.

The starting point of the sight began to change rapidly, and countless scenes emerged from the field of vision. They did not stay too long, but quickly flashed past and disappeared into the nothingness "behind" them.

"Existences like ours live in such an environment. The environments are diverse, and the countless creations that make up the environment are diverse. As independent individuals, you, me, and countless living beings have equally many ways of communicating and interacting with each other. "Our" life is very long, and it can even be said that in an ideal state our life is eternal. Long life and rich objective reality can interact with each other countless times, and the interaction itself can contain a variety of The phenomenon and essence..."

"The sum of all these is [life]."

Countless scenes flashed one after another, and they were like frames of real reality. The movement of sight suddenly stopped. The ocean of light and fire also exploded in an instant, spreading into a sky full of stars. The stars twinkled like the breath of life. During the ups and downs, the events that happened among these stars, the specific manifestations and specific scenes of those events were projected in front of xs4028 in countless ways, and projected into xs4028's heart.

"This is……"

"This is what 'life' really looks like." The tone of the words remained unchanged.

The new life looked curiously at the scenes that flashed in front of him. He didn't recognize those scenes - he didn't know where those scenes happened, he didn't know which starry sky in which world they were from. I don’t know the identities of the figures moving in these scenes, nor the causes and consequences of all this…

I don’t know anything.

However, inexplicably, my heart is throbbing - as if I have already been in it. Although I don't know what the various fragments in the scene contain, I have feelings for every individual in it... How to describe this feeling...empathy? ?

"They're snapshots of reality, and they're made of real reality. Even though they don't overlap with that moment, they are, in a way, real."

"This is……"

xs4028 felt an inexplicable "familiarity".

He saw an argument break out and one party slam the door and leave.

He saw fierce arguments, figures who returned without success, as well as changes and inexplicable signatures that should not have appeared.

He saw unclear traces of modifications, and after modifications, some figures left or even disappeared completely.

He saw countless trembling figures huddled together motionless, and these figures were tightly entangled by countless streams of light - these were the laws and rules that were being refreshed. They seemed to have extended the scope of standard control to even those who had exhausted all their efforts. Attention remains imperceptible to the tiniest bit. They have become an airtight barrier, trapping all life within them, unable to move at all.

He saw the sharp blades from behind piercing each body. What was left behind before the life passed away was shock and confusion.

He saw that wills and opinions were torn apart - many groups that were not completely opposed to each other but were difficult to reconcile argued with each other red-faced, and the arguments then turned into abuse and attacks. While the mutual attacks within the wall intensified, the war outside the wall had already started, and the difficult emotions and stacked pressure were detonated by internal and external factors. The stars were scorched by the gunfire. They seemed to have cracked eyes in the struggle, and they fell accompanied by silent panic and howls...

He saw that the distorted reality had broken the entire body.

He saw that the fragmented stories covered the original truth and distorted all the hopes of the surviving people.

He saw that the convulsions of the vast collective and the vast existence itself, as well as the collision between them, caused many individuals to deviate from their original tracks.

He saw the huge shadow cast by prejudice and obsession over the long years. He sees hidden thoughts, forced crimes, twisted truths, and brutal actions.

He saw groups with different views falling down one after another.

He saw that abnormal and special individuals were not always treated correctly and kindly. Among the countless fragments that he quickly passed through, he saw many "new" existences being hostile, slandered, and even slaughtered.

What he saw was...

…

"...Why?" xs4028 raised his head tremblingly and asked the voice, "Why do they appear? Why is this happening?"

"Reality is not a paradise, and the rules of order are not always there. This is reality, an imperfect place." The tone of the voice did not change. "These are not the lower limits. The competition and struggle between order bodies are ever-changing. , violent and pervasive. All of this must be faced squarely and must be faced correctly.”

"..." Facing that voice, xs4028's fists clenched subconsciously.

"You are not satisfied with such things happening. You are unwilling to tolerate their existence and wanton spread in the world of order. You feel that these disgusting records should not be defended from any point of view, and the events they correspond to should be ignored. It’s good to eliminate without mercy,” the voice said.

The next moment, all the images were shattered, like reflections blown away by ripples in the water.

"They do exist. They cannot be ignored, let alone misinterpreted. They should be eliminated and should be infinitely inclined to non-existence. However, it is worth noting that they are not the mainstream of order, let alone the mainstream of life."

The broken light and shadow seemed to be controlled by some kind of force. They stopped fragmenting and spreading, and quickly reunited to form a complete picture.

In the picture, the scene remains the same and the characters remain the same.

But they and the "feeling" they reveal are completely and completely different from before.

"This is……"

xs4028's eyes were attracted again.

He saw quarrels, individuals still quarrel with each other. However, the purpose of these quarrels is to get the best, best answer and final resolution.

He saw that the war had not stopped, but the will that ignited the war was not directed at the order of life and the order of the world, nor was it directed at the differences within the order. The worlds of order have built their glorious and towering barriers behind themselves, and where the war is ignited, in the darkness outside the world of order, thick and boundless malice has come, and the war is spreading, preparing to destroy these malices, as well as those carrying them. All malicious vectors were burned.

He saw groups of people reading and summarizing endless stories and disturbances non-stop. They sift and summarize in the vast sea of ​​data, looking for rules that are commonly pursued by all living beings, and sorting out the common aspirations in the hearts of all living beings.

He saw a vast and boundless ocean. There is a pyramid standing in the warm ocean, a pyramid surrounded by countless names - the formats of those names are all kinds of strange. Some of them, I can understand the general content, but many of them are presented to me with pure strangeness. .

He saw help and sincerity, from the most trivial reminder to the active sacrifice that requires dedicating one's body, one's life, and even a more important and more ethereal existence.

He saw... reflection, regret, pain, and painful lessons from the depths of his soul.

He saw countless figures busy at various positions. They are not satisfied with the appearance of sacrifice, nor with the reality that it requires too much dedication to function. They invest their strength and constantly modify the flaws in the huge reality that are not conducive to life. Repeated again and again, year after year.

He saw that some decisions were divisive, but they were ultimately made anyway. After the final disputes and negotiations, negative sentiment did not seem to grow.

He saw that there was a huge rift filled with blood in the past. But now, such rifts are very rare.

He saw that there were various landscapes among the stars, and in the sea of ​​​​stars in various styles stood various creations that showed the wisdom of life. These creations have different styles, but they can be arranged harmoniously with each other.

He saw countless figures and countless lives shuttling between these creations, sailing in the sea of ​​stars, and jumping between countless seas of stars.

The paths these lives took were smooth and uneventful, and the stories they experienced did not have ups and downs. There are changes, but more often than not, they are the same as one day for thousands of years, or even...trivial daily routines.

He felt that although the expression of simple emotions had changed, part of them still existed. They are like buffers, providing a gentle buffer between the rigid and bulky neat [equipment].

"Bland, daily, even seems a bit boring... In fact, this is the real life. Between the rare but fierce peaks and waves in the long history, this is the real mainstream."

"Be careful - I'm going to lift some of the restrictions." The voice from the system warned gently. "Next, the amount of information in an instant will be huge, and the story may become complicated."

"...Well, I understand." xs4028 nodded.

"Well."

In an instant, endless realities and countless scenes fell from the sky.

"Varied……"

"This is the mainstream, the real [mainstream] that exists between the rapid peaks of rare stories and intense stories. They involve countless lives, they are countless, and countless lives live in this way. "

The clear whispers were infinitely stacked and merged into a chaotic chattering sound. Countless figures and countless stars were pressing down on me, and I felt like I was about to fall into a bottomless abyss, into a boundless sea of ​​fire. xs4028 subconsciously tightened his body and senses, preparing to resist the coming drastic changes.

"……Why?"

The expected impact did not come - the stars completely and completely opened up in front of him.

He was indeed "falling".

But looking at it this way, this fall seems to have a clear "destination."

"Could it be?!" xs4028 trembled, and the inexplicable feeling of familiarity and déjà vu came to his soul again.

"...This is...the end?!"

"Now, you may not be able to understand these, why the appearance of these stories is like this, and what the essence behind these stories is. However, they should be able to leave you with the first memory and the most direct sensory impression."

The "falling" process progressed rapidly, and the scenery surrounding xs4028 evolved from a giant network and sea of ​​stars to the Milky Way, to clouds, to the earth, to the wall... Finally, a door stood in front of xs4028.

"When you walk out of this door, what you face is the real real world. You need to write the future stories yourself, and you need to walk the future road by yourself."

"By the way, freshman, 16-4-1-xs4028 is your soul number. It means you are from the sixteenth day area and have level four-first-class authority. It is bound to your soul frequency. As it develops, Continuing, your soul number may partially change, but as a whole, it will always be your unique identification number. However, it is not your absolute name - you are prepared to give yourself a name you like, Or "name"?"

"But……"

"Don't worry - it's not unchangeable, it's not mandatory, it's based on your wishes."

"Don't worry, we still have time."

"So...Davox Kryze?" While answering subconsciously, this new life felt a little strange - this "soul number" seemed to be different from the format and structure that he had remembered. It seems to have become more complicated, and there are no prefixes such as "white matter" or "crystal energy". I wonder if this number has been changed?

"Okay, the database note changes have been recorded."

"Finally, Kriz..."I" want to send you a few words."

"Although everything in the world has its own essence that cannot be tampered with, your opinion will also determine how the world will appear in front of you."

"If your heart is toward the light, the world will not be dark."

"This is the sixth era of the Star Empire, and the expedition year of the Star Empire is 1 168 546 213 933."

"Billions of years have passed. Many questions that have been raised are being answered one by one, and many difficulties that have arisen are being solved one by one. The constraints from the past are gradually being broken. As time goes by, civilization Things are changing with each passing day. You don’t have to be bound by what has happened, and you don’t have to be bound by what you have seen and heard in the past. Nothing is eternal. The world, your knowledge and understanding of the world, and your thinking about yourself... they will all change. . Please note that you must always greet them with a new attitude."

"Now, the empire is thriving."

"Good luck."

After the words fell, the door in front of xs4028 slid open silently.

"Welcome to the reality of order."
