With the deafening voice of the Fuxi, the light spots around it suddenly enlarged into glittering crystal balls.
Every crystal ball displayed a starship floating in the depths of the sea of stars—it was a laboratory of human nature!
In the vast sea of stars, the lonely starships were naturally the best laboratories. No one was able to get away from the cage that was wreathed in darkness.
In countless human beings’ laboratories, the people whose memories had been erased had their emotions and will reshaped. Fake stories were instilled into them, and real, intense, and extreme human beings were born again on the false stories. The human beings were then scanned, collected, and
analyzed by the Fuxis and stored in their enormous database.
The people inside the crystal ball were either living in the peaceful world like ‘Eternal Brightness’, or in the perilous world like the Lone Armageddon Ship Project, or in a crazy world that even the devils in the deepest depths of hell could not imagine.
They laughed recklessly, they cried miserably, and they experienced the most intense love and hatred in the world. Their laughter, cries, cheers, and screams gathered into surging tides and crashed into Li Yao and Lu Qingchen’s defense line.
Both Li Yao and Lu Qingchen were ‘supremacists of human beings’.
Even though Lu Qingchen could release the ‘brain virus’ and turn countless people into his cannon fodder, he could not bear the thought of human beings being imprisoned and experimented on forever!
His soul waves immediately turned sharp and furious, like lightning that was ready to strike.
“In fact, ‘human nature’ or ‘soul’ is not as sacred and complicated as you think.
Fuxi turned a deaf ear to Lu Qingchen’s fury. He continued in his own logic, “The analysis of the genes of the carbon-based creatures has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years. Since the primeval era, the Fuxi system has been analyzing the genes of the schemer, the captives of the Flood Tide
Legion, and the Pangu Civilization under the leadership of the Nuwa Clan. Human beings are products of genetic engineering in the first place. How can there be anything that is ‘unpredictable?
“As for ‘human nature’, the humanity that you are so proud of is just a combination of certain information deep inside your genes.
“Seven emotions, six desires, love, hate, and hatred. Are these things really impossible to simulate perfectly? ‘Fake Cultivation’ I don’t think so.
“After a thousand years of development, my laboratory has collected approximately 270,000 different kinds of ‘love’ and 330,000 different kinds of ‘hates’. I know the subtle differences of emotions like the back of my hand.
“In terms of hatred and suffering, the hatred of ‘killing one’s father’ and the hatred of ‘stealing one’s wife’ are obviously different. The pain of ‘loss of one’s father’ is the same, but the loss of one’s parents at a young age and the death of one’s parents are completely different. I made countless people lose
their parents at different ages and under different circumstances. Then, I scanned their abnormal brainwaves and even dissected their brains for research. In such a way, I was able to get the most precise ‘data model of the pain of losing one’s father’. In the future, when the model is applied to a virtual
world, how can the reactions of the virtual humans not be a form of ‘realism’?”
“Isee…”
Lu Qingchen’s soul twitched. He mumbled, “So, this is what you’ve been doing for the past thousand years!”
“Of course, I thought for hundreds of thousands of years that it was meaningless to rebuild a civilization by uniting the sea of stars. In the end, I would still have to embark on the path of destruction that the Pangu civilization did. The path of immortality could only be achieved by fully informating the
civilization.
“As it happened, a thousand years ago, I was ‘awakened’ by some human beings and activated more self-control and upgrade permissions. Then, I restarted the work of ‘saving mankind’ step by step. The ‘lab of human nature’ is the most indispensable part of ‘saving mankind’.
“Otherwise, why do you think the brains of the ‘soldier bees’ and the ‘worker bees’ are all blank? Of course, it is easier to control them. But more importantly,
bodies’.
it is easier to paint their blank brains with ink. They are the cleanest supplementary materials in the ‘lab of human nature’. They are just ‘solid
“Other than the special experiment starships, the entire Sanctuary Alliance is a giant laboratory for human nature. Many tests on human nature can be conducted in the outside world. The purifiers, cleaners, lurkers, priests, and super experts, especially the ‘Yaksha Squad’ who brought you here, are
sending me endless data about human nature every minute and every second. It will help me accumulate the ‘original data’ sooner.
“However, the data is not enough.
“The war between the Holy Accord Alliance and the Imperium of True Human Beings, the magnificent war in the sea of stars, the soul-stirring epics of human beings, how much love and hate, light and darkness, heroes and cowards, loyal subjects and traitors, plots and bloody battles are recorded in the
undying poems forged by the flames of war over the past thousand years? The shining points and dark sides of human nature have flooded into my database in the form of data, too, making me more and more perfect and stronger.
“Therefore, do you know that the outcome of the war between the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation is irrelevant? It doesn’t matter if the Star Glory Federation fails to swallow the Star Glory Federation. I’m only interested in the flood of information triggered by the war.
“The Imperium of True Human Beings is destined to be inseparable from the crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus. Even if they win the battle, they are destined to walk further and further on the path of full-scale informationization and sink deeper and deeper into the virtual space. In the end, they
will still be controlled by me.
If their souls could sweat, Li Yao and Lu Qingchen would be soaked in cold sweat right now.
Neither of them was against the full-scale informationization or even virtualization of human beings. But after the virtualization, the concept of ‘human beings’ was gone and replaced by ‘Spiritual Nexus’ and ‘data’. It was… too advanced. Even Lu Qingchen found it hard to accept, let alone Li Yao.
“Right. There are some special existences among human beings that are barely detectable through all kinds of experiments. For example, you and the guy you call ‘Vulture Li Yao’ and the ‘Black Wind King Li Yao’ in the Star Ocean Imperium.
Fuxi continued. “Your ‘human nature’ and ‘soul’ are very interesting. You don’t need to tell me that ‘Vulture Li Yao’ seems to be able to switch between the righteous and the sordid instantly. Interesting. Very interesting.
“believe that the data of people like you may be more than ten thousand ordinary people, or even some abnormal data that I have never discovered before. If I can fully scan and analyze you, it will definitely be of great help to enrich my database.
“Allin all, after I scanned all human beings and grasped all the data from ‘genes’ to ‘human beings’ to ‘souls’, I would have a solid ‘starting point. By then, with the support of my immense computational ability, I would be able to infer all the changes and details of the civilization of mankind from the past
to the present, and I would be able to create countless ever-changing, wonderful civilizations in billions of virtual spaces.
“Look, your civilization is limited. You must obey the natural laws of life and death. No matter how brilliant you are, you are doomed to decline and perish.
“However, the civilization of mankind is eternal. When one of the civilizations reaches the end of its deduction, the data will be reset to zero, the system will be initialized, and it will be possible to start anew.
“For people like you and Vulture Li Yao’, I can even give you preferential treatment so that your humanity data will appear once in every civilization of mankind.
“Do you know what this means?
“It means that, even if you and Vulture Li Yao are dead in the so-called ‘real world’ around us, and your soul is entirely gone, your civilization will be destroyed a million years later, and your reputation and all your information will be gone, there will still be countless Lu Qingchen and Li Yao living in the
endless worlds that I created.
“They will think 100% like you. They will live and fight. They will become heroes and big shots. They will realize their achievements and hate each other. They will devise schemes and stop schemes. They will collide with each other in the struggle for the Great Dao, producing the most beautiful sparks of
humanity!
“This is a poem, the most magnificent epic of heroes of the human civilization. I will find a way to recite the poem and broadcast your brilliance and the greatness of the human civilization to the entire multiverse, to everyone in the multiverse, and even to the flood tide—if there are still listeners in the
multiverse and I can face the flood tide.
“Don’t you think that the most brilliant future is me as a civilization and you as an individual?
‘The light waves released by the Fuxis were somewhat intoxicated and turned into ripples.
Lu Qingchen shuddered.
Finally, the lunatic experienced the absurdity and horror of being bathed in the craziness of another lunatic.
“Do you really think—”
Lu Qingchen gnashed his teeth and said, one word after another, “With such tremendous computational ability, I can exhaust all the changes of a great civilization? How many super crystal processors and advanced algorithms are needed to support such an almost infinite computational ability?”
“Of course, the current crystal processor system of the civilization of mankind cannot support it. But the Pangu Civilization, the Flood Tide Legion, and the shady makers all boast more advanced virtual computing technology. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, we only cracked 1% of them.
Fuxi was very calm. He did not seem to be imagining anything but stating a simple fact. “Do you know how many stars there are in the three thousand Sectors of our home that are covered in darkness? By preliminary estimation, there are at least three hundred billion.
“One day, I will control all the energy of the 300 billion stars and absorb alll the radiation that they release. Also, I will refine the crystals, silicon, and metals on all the planets into a super computational unit.
“If the hundreds of billions of stars drive billions of super computational units and the entire universe becomes my brain, how much computational ability will I have? Will it not be enough to drive the unlimited development of the civilization of mankind?
