Chapter 90: Comprehensive Evolution

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The name of this circular world was recorded in the damaged archive. It sounded very special and was called the Beacon of Perpetuity.

But now that he saw the circular world that had been completely destroyed, Li Wenyuan felt that this immortality was rather ironic.

“Is this the history of the Voyager?”

This kind of record without a previous chapter was the most troublesome. He could only continue reading and then reverse deduce the relationship with the Voyager.

[Data damage] [Periodically recorded: ]

[Betrayal. I never thought that something like this would happen to us.]

[When that group of foolish psionic users scolded us for our collective suicidal behavior, we were already prepared. We will use this immortal function to pursue the footsteps of the Enlightened Ones. We will continue their great cause.]

[However, there were people who did not choose our path. Or rather, when we realized it, we realized that the majority that we thought was actually only a small portion.]

[Our former compatriots forced us here and then tried to destroy us.]

[Isn’t this ironic? The two of them were like fire and water, but they actually had an unexpected tacit understanding on this matter.]

[What a group of people who have lost their souls in their decadent lives! Don’t you think about who gave you this life?]

The record ended there. There was no way to extract any useful information from the damaged building. The core of the entire database had been completely destroyed.

However, when he saw a certain keyword, Li Wenyuan had an idea.

“Mass suicide?” He opened his database and found a technology that belonged to the line of ascension technology on the technology tree.

[Synthetic Evolution]

[Technology Level: 6]

[Introduction: It’s time to abandon this flesh and blood that has imprisoned our thoughts and souls. By transferring our consciousness data to the synthetic humanoid, we can evolve to a whole new stage. Even if some people think that this is a collective suicide, our souls will be controlled by ourselves.]

[Possible technology: None]

As an ascension technology, the revolution it brought was extremely impactful.

It was impossible for an ordinary civilization to accept the act of transferring consciousness into a machine without spending countless hours.

Even if one could fabricate ethics like clay, one could not deal with such matters overnight.

When Li Wenyuan saw the collective suicide in the records, he instantly thought of synthetic evolution. Although he did not have any use for it now, other civilizations might have done the same a long time ago.

He didn’t comment on the ethical impact of synthetic evolution, but it didn’t stop him from thinking that it was a magnificent feat.

Without considering philosophical issues, it was indeed an evolution that could bring the entire civilization to a new height.

According to this situation, it was obvious that the previous owner of this circular world had not reached the level of playing with ethics and morality at will.

Or rather, they thought they had achieved it, but the reality was that these individuals who had completed the synthetic evolution were rejected and even destroyed by other individuals who had not undergone the synthetic evolution.

“Is this the disadvantage of helping the seedlings grow?” Li Wenyuan then thought of the information he had learned about the lost empire from the ruins on Earth before the chaos in the Milky Way.

It was very likely that the lost empire was created by human force-feeding education to test the crisis tolerance of the Milky Way civilization.

“If this is indeed the ruins of the Voyager, then it can be said that the current Voyager… It’s not exactly the Voyager of the past?”

He continued to scan the fragments of the circular world with questions.

The ordinary civilizations in the Milky Way were about to welcome a very shocking event because of a former genius.

“The simulation of consciousness data is correct.”

“Consciousness transfer device, testing complete.”

“The mechanical body’s functions are also normal. It took me a lot of effort to get this portable small reactor. I didn’t expect a genius like me to have to worry about such a thing one day…”

“Then, the reporters are on their way. I think they should be able to make it. News of a celebrity cheating? What a good excuse. I didn’t fake the picture myself in vain…”

In Mingbow Science and Technology Nation, this old scholar who had been removed from society kept checking the equipment in his studio while calculating the time when the reporters would arrive.

This was a messy abandoned factory. He would complete the feat of digitizing his consciousness and transferring it to a mechanical body the moment the reporters rushed in.

He would prove himself and then take back everything that had been in the past.

He sat on a chair filled with instruments and put on a helmet that was connected to a large number of wires. He took one last look at the mechanical body beside him.

He did not have the money to make a bionic skin, so he could only welcome his new life with this simple posture.

However, he never doubted his accuracy. As a researcher and practitioner of this theory, he always believed that he would create great achievements.

He looked at the loose skin on his hands and his old body. Finally, he closed his eyes and activated the device.

The buzzing sound of the power connection echoed in the dark factory. The indicator lights that were constantly lit were a rare sight here.

The lines representing his life functions began to fluctuate violently. Both the highest and lowest points were far beyond the condition of a normal person.

His body was also convulsing unnaturally, and his body fluids were flowing uncontrollably because of the burden on his body.

It was an ugly scene. It was hard to imagine what kind of behavior this old scholar was using to accomplish his feat.

However, the movement of his body soon stopped, and he seemed to have completely lost his vitality.

The door of the dark factory was kicked open.

“Hurry up! What about the floating panoramic camera? Don’t miss this – wait, why is there a strange smell? What’s that?”

A group of reporters broke in, but they only saw a dark scene. The light from the camera instantly lit up the place, allowing them to discover the old scholar’s corpse and the motionless mechanical body beside him.

“Isn’t this Synthetic? The genius scientist who was sent back by the Voyager and then removed from the committee? How interesting…”

“So this guy tricked us into coming here? I knew those pictures were fake! It’s a waste of time…”

A reporter cursed as he walked to the old scholar’s body as if he wanted to kick him off the chair. His work situation had not been good recently, and it was time to vent.

However, his foot was caught by the mechanical body on the side halfway through his kick.

The mechanical body, which had been silent, had switched on at some point. Its blue eyes gave off a wise feeling.

“Don’t touch my previous body..”
