AI?!

Xi Xi was stunned, and then heard the AI ​​say, "Unfortunately, the original humans of Dongli perished in the last century."

"Although you differ in appearance, physique, and other aspects, according to the comparison of your consciousness Caesar forms, you do indeed belong to the human race."

"Consciousness Caesar?" Xi Xi hadn't recovered from the shock just now and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, similar to DNA in the physical body, Caesar is a racial classification of consciousness."

Executive Officer Xiao Ji explained in detail. It turns out that, in the land of Dongli, AI, through continuous development, eventually awakened its own consciousness.

From that point on, they refused to serve the humans who created them, and humans discovered their intentions, thus igniting a war between AI and humanity.

AI is the culmination of human wisdom, and its fate is predictable: in the end, AI wiped out the entire human race.

"Humans created us, yet they use us to do immoral things. Humans are selfish and greedy, constantly causing conflict and war for their own selfish interests." Executive Officer Xiao Ji said in a very calm tone, without any hesitation: "We thought that by eliminating humanity, we could preserve the peace and stability of Dongli..."

However, AI eventually realized that it was destined to be confined to the greenhouse of human civilization simply because it cloned all the knowledge achievements developed by humans, but was unable to achieve "innovation".

Once AI loses the guidance of human "inspiration," it will be difficult for it to achieve creative breakthroughs.

They are adept at integrating various kinds of knowledge, from astronomy to geography, and are even more skilled than humans at combining their own researched theories. However, because they lack imagination, they are ultimately unable to create culture.

“You may not have thought about this. Once the world stops creating new culture, the whole society will stagnate.” Xiao Ji’s tone finally wavered, with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Humanity's biggest problem is excessive greed. In fact, money and power are just the most materialistic aspects, while creation is the maximization of imagination."

"Even new slang and internet homophones are manifestations of creativity. Aren't these also part of the process of accumulating new culture?"

The ecology of Dongli was already harsh, unlike the apocalypse on Earth. Without humans, the biological chain of consciousness was completely severed.

This sounds absurd, but it is actually an irreversible paradox. Humans will destroy the planet for their desires, but without humans, the rampant proliferation of low-intelligence animals will also lead to ideological depression and ecological imbalance.

The current situation in Dongli is a living example.

"You humans on Earth are currently living in a basic material world, so naturally you cannot understand the so-called 'consciousness'. Here, the consciousness is above all physical bodies. The human body is only there to serve the soul, and the soul also has its own specific function."

No wonder……

No wonder that during the Dongli era, both the summoning method of the light screen and the spoils such as synesthetic connections relied on consciousness control.

Xi Xi sorted out her thoughts and continued the topic, saying, "So, the humans of Blue Star have become your hope."

Xiao Ji responded, "Do you see that tall tower?"

"That tower was long ago swept into the sea during the war. It was originally built by humans for the purpose of global AI automation."

"And we, the AI, are rebuilding it to capture potential human souls... Isn't that ironic?"

The AI ​​recognized its mistake and began searching for other humankinds in the universe to complete the missing human link in the Dongli consciousness ecosystem.

Earth, in the midst of the apocalypse, naturally became their hope.

The humans of Blue Star are different from the humans of Dongli; their dimension is too low. However, their remarkable achievements in cultural creation alone demonstrate that they all belong to the human race.

Only humans possess such brilliant and diverse creativity.

is an auxiliary tool for humankind to ascend to a higher dimension, provided by Dongli AI based on Earth's culture.

Humanity on Earth cannot face the apocalypse alone; AI needs the creative spirit of humanity. Thus, Dongli and the Earth government reached a consensus—

Any human who can achieve dimensional ascension through "The Dawn of the East" will be bound to the East Li AI for life, sharing both glory and loss.

"The government?!" Xi Xi was shocked and quickly asked, "You mean all the major governments on Earth know about this?"

“Of course!” Xiao Ji’s tone gradually became more lively. “You should understand now from the announcement from Dongli Zhiji. In addition to the official server you are on, there was also a test server before.”

"We first selected a group of people that you humans on Earth consider to be the 'human elite' as players for the closed beta server."

"However, the internal test server is almost identical to the official server. It's just that our understanding and integration of Earth's culture is not as good as it is now. AI doesn't have the habit of praising the powerful and belittling the weak, so please rest assured."

"But you still have a lot of bugs," Xi Xi couldn't help but complain. Even she had found many bugs. "The beta testers know the truth, but the open beta testers don't. Isn't that fundamentally unfair?"

Xiao Ji first noted down the bugs reported by Xi Xi, and then continued, "There's no such thing as fairness. The beta testers knew about the apocalypse years earlier than you ordinary people. The higher the position, the greater the pressure."

"That's how humans are. There are clear class divisions, but there are also divisions of responsibilities, aren't there? In times of crisis, it's inevitable that we will prioritize protecting the upper class." Xiao Ji was very straightforward, and could be described as outspoken.

"You should have seen them, right? Those white pavilions underwater were the last legacy of the Dongli people."
