Su Mingan heard overwhelming mechanical sounds.
The collapsed ground beneath his feet began to repair itself, all the gun barrels began to turn, and the city's machinery became noisy, as if welcoming its long-lost owner.
…
【You awakened the mechanical city. 】
【Welcome back, old god. 】
…
The gods stopped, and even when they saw Su Wensheng's death, they did not show any sign of retention or sadness.
Su Mingan ran forward and reached out to Alice.
At this moment, it seemed as if many scenes flashed through his mind. He saw many blurry images, and his perspective also changed.
…
I felt as if I was standing in a room, writing down a long-term plan, and the ticking of a clock in my ears was like a steady heartbeat.
I wrote stroke by stroke, putting the hard work of millions of people into words, and the fate of the entire world into ink. When I finished the last stroke, I blew on the paper and suddenly felt very quiet.
Long-lost silence.
The desire of the citizens, the human desire for survival, and the generals' resistance day and night finally had a result.
【Ark Project】.
This plan will span a thousand years, until the time when the old gods are resurrected.
I put down my pen and heard the door unlock. I turned around and saw a girl with black hair and green eyes walking in. Her eyes were like a deep lake, making people feel peaceful. She was wearing a short shirt and a short jacket, and her body was covered with burns.
I felt myself opening my mouth and said, "...Xiaoya and the others were so reckless."
The girl smiled and covered her wounds: "It's okay, it's all for the experiment. Power at the cost of vitality, burns are common, I will probably get used to this burning pain in the future. Since I have a long life different from ordinary humans, I should do something I can do."
I asked, "What's the situation outside?"
The girl said, "The [Gods] have almost taken control of the world. If we don't start our plan now, it may be too late. Are you determined?"
Su Mingan felt a disturbance in his ears, as if some of the words had been replaced. The word "god" should be other words in the girl's mouth.
I handed her the plan in my hand.
She stared at the plan for a long time, as if there was something deep and profound buried in it. This was indeed the case, as it determined the fate of the entire world and nearly 10 billion people. When this thing fell from my hands, the choices of 10 billion people were suddenly condensed into the right and wrong of just me.
Until her pupils lighted up slightly, as if a spark had ignited. She clenched her fists in front of her lips, as if this could stop the trembling in her shoulders.
"...The accumulated emotions from reincarnation are the driving force, the ideal country is the barrier, and becoming a god is an equal status. In the end, the order can be transferred... I understand." The girl said: "But in this way, no one knows whether someone will wake us up after a thousand years."
I smiled and said, "Believe in the possibility of human beings, believe that they can wake us up - let the Ark set sail, we will eventually wake up and wait until the Ark reaches its destination."
"Well... do you want to go for a drink? Everyone wants to see you one last time before reincarnation." said the girl.
"It's not the last time we meet. Maybe we can meet again in a thousand years..." I wanted to smile. But every inch of my smile seemed stiff. I knew this plan was very risky, but it was the one with the highest success rate. It was a very bold idea to let an entire civilization board an ark that spanned a thousand years and traveled across the vast universe.
We didn't go to the magnificent banquet hall, which had long been destroyed by artillery fire. So we sat on the eaves, looked at the fireworks in the distance, and said goodbye.
Under the fireworks, people's faces flickered. Sometimes a bright red firework rose into the sky, and it seemed as if fire was burning in everyone's eyes.
“Perhaps, we will become civilized strangers.”
The first person to raise his glass to me was my comrade, Li Yuxuan. He had red hair and golden eyes:
“We cry when we miss home and laugh when we look forward to the future, but we can still breathe, we still have thoughts, we can still… sing, draw, and record words. We have not yet become words on a screen or tombstones in the minds of invaders. In thousands of years of reincarnation, I will become all kinds of me. By then, I hope I can live a more wonderful life.”
I raised my glass to him and drank the orange juice in it.
I know his past. He once fought for power in the family and persecuted his younger brother, and was expelled from the family. Now that the Ark is about to travel far away, perhaps he and his younger brother can be friends again in this life.
"I toast to you." The second person to raise her glass was my friend, Xinyue. Her rose-red hair fell on her shoulders, and her eyes were like blooming roses:
"If I could be reincarnated, I don't want to be confused anymore."
I know her past. She was once obsessed with a powerful man and was blinded by love. But I still need to correct her.
I said, "Our lifespans will still end within a hundred years, and we cannot break through the limitations of humans. We simply transform our personalities and memories into hard drives, storing them in our descendants. This is not 'reincarnation' in the traditional sense. They just look like us, have inherited our responsibilities and will, and claim to be our reincarnations, but they are not us."
My philosophy is simple.
Human life is only a hundred years, but data can be stored for thousands of years. Therefore, as long as we imprint "us" on the data and store it in our souls, we can automatically find the descendants who are most compatible with us and enter the subsequent reincarnation.
