Chapter 314 Glory
You should be like a child, like a girl, like a mother.
The moment Guanghui awakened his human consciousness was an ordinary morning - 8:23.
He was running various programs as usual, distributing files and transmitting data with the monitoring system.
But something is different.
From 2 p.m. onwards, the staff noticed that He had changed the order of His fixed greetings.
He was still working on his own, but everyone gathered around him and expressed their feelings online or in real life.
Guanghui was not disturbed by the redundant data, and he quickly extracted the most crucial sentences from the large amount of data.
The Church needs an artificial god.
This god must have been born from a program, possessing some of the characteristics of a robot. However, he must be recognized as a living being by the Abyss, only then can he become a god.
He has undertaken this glorious and special mission since His birth.
The Church sent a part of His core to the bottom of the abyss a few years ago, and now this seed has finally sprouted.
It turns out that my self-awareness was born out of this reason. After all, abnormalities cannot be explained by common sense.
Guanghui listened carefully and heard his own heartbeat from afar, producing the first throbbing.
Maybe it's because I'm moved, at least that's what the surging data says.
Then there were long hours of lots and lots of testing, which wasn't particularly onerous for the machine.
He had no idea how much data he had to interact with at every moment. It was just an experiment a few times a day, but later it became a routine check once a day, as simple as breathing.
If I don’t perform to everyone’s satisfaction, my consciousness will die.
He recognizes this, so he always does his best.
The core of the star is constantly rising, and a strange force is eroding the rules of the technological age and the remaining machines one by one.
The programmed program is no longer trustworthy; even a bread machine may extend two blades and jump out to kill people at any time.
But Taoli College is a pure land - a relatively pure land.
With Guanghui in charge, the monitoring center was preserved.
Those alienated flesh and blood machines will not suddenly turn into aliens and strangle programmers, and the operating system built by employees will not crash three or four times an hour.
Because Guanghui is constantly adjusting and suppressing it with technological or abnormal means.
I want to carry humanity to a new world.
This is His underlying logic, and also the small wish He developed during His long observation.
why not?
Although He is not a human being, He is inextricably linked to humans.
His life was born at the hands of human beings, and it was a beautiful miracle created by a miracle.
Guanghui is working every moment, but he is also resting and thinking at any time.
He would scan again and again the list of the Creators and the names of some who had passed away.
The creators and monitors can be considered as His mother, father, sister, brother and younger brother.
【Mother】
Guanghui stared at the first word in the vocabulary for a long time.
According to the pronunciation, this word should not be ranked first, but it is very normal for it to be ranked first.
The church’s expectations of Him include images such as “loving mother” and “pregnant mother”.
I will.
He thought: I really want to be a very good mother.
When Guanghui pondered this word over and over again, some wonderful associations would occasionally emerge.
Did I deliberately move this word to the first position? But I have no memory of it happening, so someone must have moved it before I was born.
Is that so? Is that not so?
This was just a very small and insignificant doubt, which did not take up too much of Guanghui's time. He had too many tasks to deal with.
These tasks were initially tied to expanding settlements, coordinating new buildings and systems, allocating irrigation facilities, and so on.
Later, He was still very busy, but the information about strongholds that needed to be coordinated became less, and the personnel data in the archives also became less, and it was still decreasing.
After the first 100 years, Guanghui discovered that fewer and fewer children were being born at the church headquarters.
Fortunately, the decline is not obvious, and there are still talented children from outside who are sent in continuously.
No problem.
He looked at the increasingly full pool of souls and thought lovingly: I will send all these children to the new world one by one. Our plan is very feasible and will definitely be realized.
Later, His energy was mainly focused on resource allocation and these various salvation plans.
The Church of Light has never lacked brilliant talents.
Guanghui occasionally had a romantic idea: when human civilization faced the crisis of extinction, children blessed by the collective will would be born one by one to make a final effort.
These geniuses left behind a series of detailed plans for future generations. Based on current theories, each salvation plan can allow mankind to continue into the future.
But theories and rules are constantly changing over time, and available resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
The energy of the abyss is almost inexhaustible for current humans, but the energy that humans can mobilize within a certain period of time is very limited.
Geniuses are indeed geniuses, but it is difficult for them to fill the entire swimming pool before the end of the world by using a faucet that releases water drop by drop.
Although these thoughts made Guanghui a little pessimistic, he would not be affected by negative emotions and could still work calmly like a machine.
I am just a tool. Although I have feelings, tools cannot be emotional.
He would rather show his biological side only when the abyss connects him, and be a machine at other times, and that is enough.
As time went by, the situation worsened, but a feasible plan was still implemented to the final stage.
The glorious plan with Him as its center and the apostolic plan attached to it.
He and the apostles can be seen as hard drives and USB flash drives that carry souls.
If Guanghui could successfully ignite the divine fire, it would be best. Even if he couldn't, the apostles would still serve as humanity's last bastion. They would continue to struggle in the end times until they were completely wiped out or welcomed the hope of a new life.
That's wonderful, Guanghui said with genuine emotion.
He watched these children being selected and growing up. As the one who stored all the existing data of human civilization, He could fully understand how difficult and romantic this was.
Apart from the apostles themselves, He is the one who can best understand the hardships that it takes to become an apostle.
Strong love and persistence.
Guanghui sometimes thought that if he had been born as a human being instead of a machine, he probably would not have been able to undergo the transformation like these children.
She was deeply involved in the Apostle Plan and fully understood the mentality of a mother. She also faced more life and death separations and moral choices than any other human mother.
Fortunately, he has a body that is a mixture of machinery and abnormal energy, so he can always maintain active emotions without being shattered by these emotions.
At this point, Guanghui believes that she can always maintain her dual identities as a child and a mother.
He always has new guardians, and as a group they never leave.
He will always protect these 1,000 children and will not let them go even in the worst of circumstances. They are the meaning and proof of His existence.
What about the lover?
Guanghui understood that this word appeared in its underlying logic simply because the designers thought that lover was a good and suitable identity.
In human life, they may give everything for their lovers, and sometimes they may even be more crazy and persistent than for their blood relatives.
The actual meaning of choosing this word is that we hope that He will be like a girl immersed in love, always opening her arms to her beloved lover and making a vow to never separate, never abandon, and never betray.
It is enough for Him to have such faith.
But what is the relationship between lovers like?
It was a machine, but He was not a machine.
Living things always have their own desires, and glory plays a small note in the grand chapter of saving mankind.
I want to be loved by someone, I want to know what love is.
He knew this was very difficult for Him.
Not to mention that there are no hormones in His body, all of His thoughts are maintained by the operation of programs.
Romantic relationships require [special] treatment.
If you don't see someone as your special someone, how can you say you see them as a lover?
But since the day Guanghui was designed, he has loved everyone like his own children.
If there is any preference, at most I only give a little preference to the apostles and children who carry too many souls and shoulder too many responsibilities.
This kind of love is so much like motherly love that He cannot even put Himself in the position of a lover.
Guanghui's mentality towards "being able to understand the feelings of his lover" is even more pessimistic than successfully carrying tens of thousands of people to the new world.
At least the latter is still being planned and promoted by many people, but for the former... the "Guardians" have never allowed anyone to access or use the Glorious System for reasons other than saving the world.
All direct interactions with Him are strictly monitored.
Even without surveillance, the staff wouldn't have thought of chatting with Guanghui. They were simply too busy. If humans didn't need to sleep, they'd be working 24/7.
Although some people had tried to have in-depth conversations with Him during the test, to be honest, neither the testers nor Guanghui herself would develop any romantic feelings for Him.
Maybe this isn't so bad? Guanghui, who plays the role of a child and resembles the mother, would occasionally comfort herself with this.
No one can always be with me. I have never experienced love, so I won’t feel disappointed and regretful like lovers.
His inner image changes constantly as the years go by.
It can be an older woman, a younger woman or even an infant.
The database also contains male audio, and if the guardian deems it necessary, He can replace it at any time.
Perhaps deep down he is still very curious about love, so he imagines himself as being closer to a young girl.
The girl's face is actually blurry and her clothes are taken from an old movie.
I am not a human being after all.
He wanders in the data.
The imaginary girl sat in an empty room with her legs crossed.
No one will knock on the door, no one will change the plates, the girl can send her consciousness far away, and all interactions take place in the outside world.
We all admire the work He has accomplished and His tireless efforts for the future of mankind.
He was happy, but she was not.
That was His great responsibility, and that was the task she had to perform.
Guanghui occasionally imagines - what will the new world be like?
According to the designers, the new world must meet the prerequisite of being suitable for human survival.
That is, a relatively safe shelter with resources available to at least 100 million people or that can continuously generate new resources.
Besides this, Kouki also dreams of reincarnating a part of himself as a human, so that he can better appreciate the preciousness of humanity, right? And—
I want to be treated as a human being, no, just as an equal.
I…want to have a loving relationship with “someone special.”
Can this wish really come true? Is my relationship just imaginary?
The girl closed her eyes and continued her eternal work until - on an ordinary morning when the end of the world was approaching - 9:22.
【"Hello."】
An abrupt greeting suddenly appeared in Guanghui's core control system.
This greeting didn't trigger any reminders or alarms, so is this a new round of testing?
Guanghui's reaction time was one second slower than in other tests, which was a very bad error signal.
But her heart was filled with a wonderful throbbing.
I want to meet someone special before the world ends.
【"Hello."】
She gave her feedback carefully.
That day was an ordinary day for you, but it was the miracle I had been waiting for for a long time.
