It was still that familiar room.

Strange conduits spread across every corner, and countless screens displaying flickering images floated and swirled rhythmically in mid-air.

Todd slowly stood up, looked at the inverted triangle in the center of the room, and said softly, "We meet again."

Jing Su swayed, her voice devoid of any emotion: "It's really rare to visit here twice in such a short period of time."

Todd smiled and said, "I've done everything I was supposed to do."

The Crystal Floating in the air slowly approached Todd and asked, "Is it really important to you to exchange the annihilation of your own existence for the fulfillment of a promise you once made?"

Todd shook his head and said, "Measuring and converting values ​​is not such a simple matter... at least not for me."

Jing Su stared at Todd for a long time, then suddenly turned around and floated towards the door.

As it floated, it said, "Come with me, someone wants to see you."

Todd was taken aback: "Someone... wants to see me?"

Jing Su left the room in silence.

After thinking for a moment, Todd also left the room.

Arriving at the enormous passageway that symbolized rebirth, Todd looked back at the doors behind him that represented the reborn.

After a moment's hesitation, Todd turned to Crystal and asked, "Is there a woman...?"

Before Todd could finish his question, Crystal replied while floating, "She came, and then she left."

Todd wanted to find out the woman's whereabouts.

Jing Su said, "I cannot give you the answer you want."

After saying this, Jing Su floated into the pillar of light in the center of the pipe, and his figure disappeared into the light.

Todd sighed, pushed off the ground with both feet, and followed into the pillar of light.

As the light rose higher and higher, Todd finally arrived at that sea of ​​stars.

To his surprise, an elderly man in a white robe was already waiting there.

Watching the old man's retreating figure, Todd looked at Jing Su with a puzzled expression, hoping the latter could provide an explanation.

Jing Su fell completely silent, and even the red light on her body stopped flashing.

The old man turned around.

Todd was taken aback when he saw the other person's face.

Because the other person's appearance was somewhat similar to his own.

The old man's face was etched with the lines of time, and his eyes had no pupils, only the whites of his eyes that shone faintly.

Welcome!

A deep and resonant voice echoed through the sea of ​​stars.

The old man faced Todd, bowed slightly, and said, "My name is..."

He paused abruptly, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The name is not important."

"You just need to remember, I am you, and you are me."

Todd looked puzzled and asked, "I don't understand?"

At this moment, Jing Su suddenly reminded him: "What you are looking at is a quantum multidimensional image. It comes from a very, very long time ago, so long that the measurement of time has lost its meaning."

The old man continued, "Why do I say we are one person? Because you and I are different reincarnations of the same soul."

“I don’t know how many times you have been my reincarnations, but I have already gone through millions of reincarnations before this video was recorded.”

"Throughout these countless cycles, I have been exploring the secrets behind the universe."

"Through repeated rebirths, I first gained a basic understanding of the beacon tower's operating mechanism."

"Next, using the beacon tower, I studied the dark layers and dimensional walls beyond the galaxies."

"Then, penetrating the dimensional walls, I saw the virtual passage and discovered a way to locate and mark the multidimensional universe."

"After that, with the help of many like-minded companions, we gradually began to draw multidimensional topology diagrams."

"Ultimately, we discovered the most mysterious existence in all time, all space, and all dimensions—the Central Hub."

"The central hub is the core of the multidimensional spectrum and the heart of all virtual channels. It gathers and processes all virtual data in the entire dimensional universe and controls the operation of all spaces, times and dimensions."

"We believe that the essence of all things and the truth of all mysteries are hidden in the central nervous system."

"Therefore, we set our final research focus on the central nervous system."

"After making thorough preparations, we tried to crack and enter the central system... but we failed... a complete defeat."

"The image you are seeing now may be my last consciousness before everything was destroyed."

The old man stopped talking, and a bitter and helpless expression appeared on his face.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "Now that I've told you my story, everything I'm about to say is related to you."

"First, let me explain what rebirth is?"

"When any intelligent life form's physical body perishes, all its virtual bodies will be reorganized into an information flow containing data, which will continuously move towards the central body along the virtual body channels."

"However, some virtual objects exhibit feedback memory phenomena during the assembly process."

"If you find this hard to understand, then think of the souls of the reborn as souls that became sick due to contact with the virus."

“These sick souls will escape from the illusory passage, attach themselves to a suitable body, and be reactivated.”

"You may have noticed that if we compare rebirth to a virus, then this virus can actually cause infection."

"In other words, a reborn individual, under the right conditions, can infect another normal individual and turn them into a reborn individual."
