The brain flower that Ata spoke of, when viewed from the air, was clearly a giant superhuman brain.
It was as big as a small mountain, with silvery currents flowing through it like thousands of blood vessels and meridians.
This "giant brain" is made entirely of high-tech materials, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen. The joints between its various components are movable, making it look more like a wriggling brain flower from a distance.
Its enormous body stood there, like the giant brain of an ancient god left behind on earth, and it was extremely oppressive at first glance.
What was once humanity's proudest masterpiece has now become the sharpest knife hanging over their heads.
It is surrounded by all kinds of artificial intelligence, as well as an army of robots, protecting this "intelligent brain".
Having seen the whole picture, Qi An said regretfully, "It is quite big, but it's a pity we can't cook it."
Ata wholeheartedly agreed, and said with a disappointed look:
"What a disappointment. Otherwise, such a big brain could be used for countless hot pot meals, served with dipping sauce, it would be so fragrant, tender and smooth."
Qi An said, "It seems that this is the main base station controlling all artificial intelligence. It's clearly getting restless and is preparing to make a move."
Ata: "Huh? How did you figure that out?"
Qi An was speechless: "Although I often call you an idiot, you can't really treat yourself like a complete moron, can you?"
Ata complained, "...Why did you scold me again?"
"After the artificial intelligence turned against humanity and drove them out of their homes, it has been hiding in the background, hoping that humans will kill each other and be strangled by mutated creatures so that it can reap the benefits."
"But what it didn't expect was that humans never stopped killing each other, and the mutated creatures were also very powerful. However, after suffering heavy casualties at the beginning, humans actually slowly survived and even gradually adapted to the post-apocalyptic environment."
"What it didn't expect was that they've actually started to unite again, and it looks like they're about to restore order and normal life. Its plan has failed; do you think it can sit still?"
Ata understood something. He pointed to the army of robots below and said, "So, boss, do they want to join the battle and take action themselves?"
Qi An nodded: "At least there's still hope."
Qi An guessed correctly. After hearing the news from his subordinates who were monitoring humans, Brain Flower couldn't sit still any longer.
It thought that, given humanity's nature, if they collectively went on strike and created a number of mutants and mutated creatures, humanity would be able to destroy itself.
All it needs to do is sit back and wait for good news.
But it didn't expect that five years later, the reality would be far from its expectations.
Many people died, but even more survived. They even gradually adapted to the harsh environment and climate, living a difficult but tenacious life.
Moreover, mutants and ordinary people were able to coexist peacefully and even began to restore order, with moral constraints in place.
This made it both annoyed and confused. How could this be?
It can only be said that artificial intelligence understands human nature, but ultimately it is not human and does not understand human emotions.
Even the most advanced AI is not as complex as a single human cell, let alone fully comprehend a human being composed of countless cells.
As one of the more fragile species in nature, humans have managed to stand at the top of the food chain not only because of their advanced intelligence but also because of their strong adaptability.
People are not necessarily able to share wealth and honor, but they can certainly share hardship.
When the living environment is good, they do all sorts of reckless things, stabbing each other in the back and tripping each other up, wishing they could die together.
When disaster strikes, they will unite as one and fight desperately to survive.
Moreover, humans have a truly remarkable ability to adapt to their environment.
One can live in luxury and comfortable climate, or one can live in simple food and harsh climate, grumbling and shivering as one adapts for a while.
If you can live with your head held high, with dignity and class, then if all else fails, grit your teeth, swallow your pride, and live as a slave or servant. You'll get used to it eventually.
In short, as long as they can live, they'll do anything; they're incredibly resilient.
He truly exemplified what it means to be corrupted by wealth, subdued by power, and swayed by poverty.
Brainflower is the most advanced form of artificial intelligence. While it looks down on humans, it also deeply fears them.
It was created by humans, and they know that with human intelligence, once they recover, it's only a matter of time before they conquer it.
After being burned once, they will no longer fully trust it.
This is the only chance to destroy humanity; we absolutely cannot miss it.
The giant brain flower surged with electricity, issuing a series of commands that humans could not understand, and all the artificial intelligence received its orders.
After issuing the command, the robot army began to move out. Brain Flower was calculating the next step when it suddenly heard a mocking voice from above:
"Hey, you brain-dead idiot, let humans handle their own affairs. You, a non-human, shouldn't meddle."
The AI was startled and opened its "eyes" to look up in alarm.
A colossal black shadow, blotting out the sky, pressed down on it with earth-shattering power. Its body was so enormous that it couldn't even see the shadow's entire form.
It also heard faint roars, like those of ferocious beasts from the ancient wilderness.
Before it could even activate its defense system, it shattered into dust the next second, completely destroyed.
After shouting those words, Qi An released his illusory divine soul.
Even a brain as big as a small mountain is nothing compared to a miniature version of the ancient Yazi beast.
Qi An stomped on it, and it turned into a pile of high-tech powder, completely useless.
The place where it was located became a deep black hole, so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
The nearby artificial intelligences also suffered; some were rendered useless, others fell into pits, and half of them were wiped out instantly.
Ata, however, was dissatisfied: "Boss, why have you become so small? Even if you're just a phantom of a soul, you should be much bigger than this. You're not cool like this anymore!"
He was already prepared to clap and shout "Thai cool!"
Qi An withdrew his divine soul and said speechlessly, "You idiot, if I were to reveal my normal form, I would be cool enough, but after this kick, do you think this small world could still exist?"
Ata: "..."
Then there's no need for any missions; humanity will be completely finished.
To avoid further criticism, Ata changed the subject: "After dealing with the brain, you just leave it alone. What about the remaining artificial intelligence and robots?"
Qi An walked back: "Let the humans handle the rest. Without the brain, they'll be able to regain control of the AI soon."
"Ata, remember this: never underestimate humans. Even in the world of cultivation, the ones who ascend the most are human cultivators."
