My Endless Life

"How... are you here?"

Seeing Li Qi appear, not only Ronnie was surprised, but also No. 5 who brought Ronnie here.

His face, which Ronnie had seen before and had always been calm, showed humanized shock, and he looked at Li Qi in disbelief.

Li Qi walked to Ronnie's side, faced No. 5, and chuckled:

"Of course I have taken over your system, idiot, you want to devour me as soon as you come in, are all you original relics so brave?"

Ronnie didn't know what Li Qi was talking about.

But No. 5 understood what he meant.

As an original relic representing the future of mankind, No. 5 seems to have abilities that other relics don't have.

For example, he can absorb things like "artificial intelligence" that step into it into his body, and devour it and transform it into a part of himself.

And Li Qi... It's okay to say that he is an original relic, and it's actually okay to say that he is a human.

But strictly speaking, he is now a body that controls the original relic, but has a special intelligence with consciousness and wisdom that is completely different from the original relic.

This meets the standards of No. 5 for "artificial intelligence".

So as soon as he stepped into this place, Li Qi's "soul" was sucked into the world of the cultivation warehouse.

That is, the virtual world built for all the Mist Explorers.

That's right, the End Village is a virtual world, a virtual world built with the human spirit, the special "relic technology" of this era, and the giant server provided by No. 5 as the foundation.

Like the world of "Sword ○ God Domain" and "Hacker ○ Kingdom".

Because of this, the body that lost Li Qi's "consciousness" would naturally turn into liquid and flow into the server on the lower level of No. 5.

However, although it turned into liquid, Li Qi's body still instinctively matched with No. 5's server. It was precisely because of this that Li Qi was able to control part of the authority of this Ark so quickly.

When he was in the End Village, Li Qi failed to realize that it was a virtual world because his thinking was bound by human thinking and he couldn't think about it for a while.

It wasn't until he crossed the border of the End Village and came to the edge and saw a flash of data flow that Li Qi understood what was going on.

Once you understand, the next thing will become quite simple.

Devouring No. 3, Li Qi, who has a soul strength that surpasses most people in this world, can almost crush a broken, core-less artificial intelligence!

No. 5 wanted to devour Li Qi to strengthen the intelligent system of the Ark, but he didn't expect that Li Qi was a "virus" and infected the system of the Ark instead.

Now...

Li Qi is half the master of the Ark.

"This is impossible! How can you, a modern human, understand and devour the "raw data"!"

No. 5 frowned.

In the era when the relics were born, the technology of this world was very advanced, and the relics themselves were also the product of technology.

But after so many years of evolution, the people of this world have long forgotten what technology is.

They rely on relics and give up the exploration of science. Let alone knowing what "data" is, I am afraid they can't even understand what "artificial intelligence" is.

Why did Li Qi devour the raw data he didn't understand?

Isn't he afraid of going crazy?

"... Sorry, I'm really not a "modern human"."

Li Qi responded with a smile.

In fact, he didn't understand what raw data was either.

But he understood the concept of data, and knew how huge the total amount of data of an artificial intelligence that could run such a huge spaceship was.

So he actually took a shortcut.

He separated a part of his soul and let this part of the soul receive the huge data flow, and he indirectly controlled the spaceship by controlling that part of the soul.

Here, Li Qi also wanted to thank No. 5 for creating the data space.

If it weren't for that data space, Li Qi might not have been able to split the soul so easily.

However, Li Qi had no intention of explaining these issues to No. 5.

He directly stated No. 5's purpose:

"You want to devour Ronnie, completely obtain the captain's authority, and then leave this planet, right?"

"What?!"

Ronnie was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at No. 5: "Didn't you say that everything you did was for humans?! Then why did you abandon humans!"

"I didn't abandon!"

No. 5's voice was a little higher, and then he said coldly: "I just don't think you humans are just humans."

"What... did you say...?"

Ronnie couldn't understand No. 5's words.

But Li Qi, who was half of the Ark's system at the moment and had understood the general structure of the Ark, understood what No. 5 was talking about.

He explained to Ronnie:

"I found 20,000 human fertilized eggs in the cold storage room of this spaceship... that is, the most primitive form of human life. If these 20,000 human fertilized eggs can reproduce smoothly... then even if you are abandoned, the human beings in this world can continue."

"That's right."

No. 5 replied:

"They are not eroded by the fog, not soaked by the fog. They are the purest and most primitive humans, the "survivors" before the fog era. Only they are "humans", and you are just a pitiful existence that will become a fog beast."

Things are very clear at this point.

The great creator in the past, after creating the five original relics, still left another backup.

He hid the records of human civilization and the seeds that could allow humans to reproduce in the Ark.

And sealed these seeds inside the Ark to ensure that they would not be eroded by the fog.

If the humans in the outside world resisted the fog and found No. 5, then they could naturally leave the planet on the Ark.

But if the humans in the outside world can no longer escape from the fog, then the "seeds" here are the hope of continuing human civilization.

No. 5 has the authority to abandon all humans and only take the fire.

And perhaps it is because the original relic holders knew this that they chose to take away the core of No. 5 and dismantle No. 5 in an attempt to keep No. 5.

People in the past did not hate the "escape faction", but just did not want to be a member of the "escape faction".

"You said... we are fog beasts... but we are human!" Ronnie pointed at himself: "We are living humans! How can we be fog beasts!"

"You have been eroded!"

No. 5 said firmly: "The 'qi' flowing in everyone's body is the best proof! This thing is poison!"

"But... but if that's the case, then the people in the safe zone don't have qi in their bodies!"

"It's just a matter of time! The transformation of life on this planet has begun. No matter where you are, you can't escape the shackles of 'qi'!

"If I take you with me, there is no guarantee that I won't infect pure humans. After calculation, the safest way is to leave you behind and take the seeds away! "

No. 5 said seriously.

His starting point was all for humanity, but... not for the humanity of this era.

Ronnie obviously couldn't accept this fact. He staggered back a few steps, and sat down on the ground without standing firmly.

The shocking fact made his brain unable to think, and he couldn't even see his palm passing through Li Qi's body.

Li Qi here is not actually a physical entity, but a projection.

His body is still on No. 5's server, competing with his data for control of the spacecraft.

On the surface, he and No. 5 are at peace, but secretly they are fighting in a way that others can't imagine.

Seeing that Ronnie couldn't speak, No. 5 turned to Li Qi and said:

"You are also an original relic. Although you look like a later original relic, you should understand that the human beings in this world are no longer saved. You should stand on my side. "

"Did you start playing the emotional card when you found that you couldn't devour it? "

"I'm telling the truth. Don't be bound by your thoughts as a human being. Think about it carefully. Where is the future of mankind! "

Number Five regards Li Qi as his own kind.

He and Li Qi were both human beings.

No, Li Qi thinks that he should not be compared with himself, but with Number One.

Number Five is the same as Number One.

But over a long period of time, Number One has tried every means to maintain his humanity, so even if what he does seems cruel, he is indeed considering the human beings of this world.

And Number Five has worn away his humanity over a long period of time. He is too rational, so rational that he seems almost cold to others.

He can ruthlessly abandon the human beings of this era. If one day, the human "seeds" in the cold storage room are also eroded by the fog, they will also be destroyed by him. Abandon without mercy.

Even if doing so will make his duty completely fail and his system fall into self-destruction, he will definitely do it.

Humanity and absolute rationality, No. 1 and No. 5, these are two opposite extremes.

What about Li Qi?

Li Qi is neither.

He has the humanity that humans have, but his own humanity is not as high as imagined.

Sometimes he has absolute rationality, but most of the time he is also swayed by his own emotions.

In simple terms, it is a bit high and low... but perhaps this is what it means to be a real person.

After all, whether it is No. 1 or No. 5, they are too extreme.

Taking a slight breath and exhaling slowly, Li Qi said calmly:

"The future of mankind? I don't care about that."

"?"

"I just don't like you now, so I want to swallow you, that's all."

"???"

"Be prepared. "

Li Qi said softly, and in the virtual world, the sky and the earth broke apart, and countless data turned into sharp weapons and flew towards the core of No. 5.

That was the transformation of Li Qi's soul. He turned part of his soul and consciousness into the purest data.

That data was the weapon he used to fight No. 5!

"Do you... know what you are doing! ? "

In the virtual world, No. 5 was dealing with Li Qi's offensive. He roared at Li Qi and could not understand the other party's hostility towards him at all.

"Why does everyone ask me such questions?" Li Qi looked at him in confusion: "Of course I know what I am doing. Isn't this obvious?"

As he said, his right hand fell, and the sky and the earth in the virtual world broke apart. The huge palm was like a giant hand of a god reaching out from the sky, pressing down on No. 5!

"Don't go too far!"

Number 5, who passively endured the attack, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He began to fully control his remaining data to respond to Li Qi's offensive.

On the surface, the two people looked at each other calmly, but secretly, a battle like that of gods had already begun.

In that illusory world, a world that only belonged to data, two "gods" who existed here started the final battle that would determine the future of mankind.
