Chapter 233 Technology for achieving immortality (13)
A port of confusion, a psychedelic wonderland.
When Yan Tianjun stepped into this fantasy world shrouded in clouds and mist, an ancient and elegant atmosphere suddenly emerged.
Completely different from the fantastic and unique scenes of the outside world, this is a reflection from a certain ancient civilization.
Unfortunately, this reflection space is obviously incomplete.
Or to be more precise, this is just an imaginary wonderland.
There is no historical sedimentation, no cultural heritage...
This place is more like a false world imagined by a being with a rich imagination.
"Did Wu Kui disappear here?"
The eyeballs of [The Lord of Ghosts and Gods] kept moving, and his curious eyes carefully examined this false world.
This is obviously a "communication center" in the Port of Confusion, with various creatures coming and going, and they are dressed differently.
There are naked, hairy beasts here...
Here there are gods wearing golden armor and holding spears...
Here are silicon-based hybrids and implanted artificial intelligence machines...
There are ghosts with pale bodies and hideous faces here...
Yan Tianjun even saw a two-dimensional person who looked like a piece of paper and was hiding in a low-dimensional space...
[Why do I feel like there's something weird here?]
At this moment, Duomu, who seemed to have noticed something, spoke.
"It's really weird here because it's just a hodgepodge of spaces."
As the former mentor of the gods and the old god, Yan Tianjun very rarely took the initiative to explain.
“Generally speaking, the development of civilization is step-by-step and spiral.”
"Biological civilization, mechanical civilization, heroic civilization, group civilization..."
“Whatever direction a race takes in civilization, it usually only moves in that one direction.”
"To explore all directions of civilization and achieve a certain level of omniscience and omnipotence is a thankless task for most civilizations."
After a slight pause, Yan Tianjun directed his gaze towards an ancient building not far away.
"But this space is different. What we are seeing now is a typical heroic civilization that is centered on individuals and pursues extreme strength."
"However, the underlying cause of all this is the technological path that only collective civilizations can take."
After Lord Yan Tianjun’s reminder, [The Lord of Ghosts and Gods] and Duomu reacted immediately.
"Tsk, tsk, are they disguising themselves?"
[The Lord of Ghosts and Gods] followed Lord Yan Tianjun's gaze and looked towards the ancient building.
In the eyes of the [Lord of Ghosts and Gods] at this moment, that was not an ancient building at all, it was clearly an oversized virtual illusion generating device.
The only difference is that the equipment used to build this building is not conventional machinery and steel, but replaceable wooden structures and artificial materials.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
[The God of the Old Days is indeed worthy of being the God of the Old Days. He is well-informed. ]
Seeing this, Li Hao couldn't help but sigh.
He was originally worried that the three "troublemakers" would not be able to see through the true nature of this virtual illusion.
But now it seems that although these three guys are a bit impulsive and reckless, their abilities are indeed unquestionable.
Just like Li Hao wanted to use the Shenyun World as a "window", there are naturally many gods in the heavens and all worlds who have the same idea.
Although the Shenyu Realm is not their home ground, it does not prevent them from making some small moves.
This is a situation that Li Hao and Maitreya had already considered and even tacitly agreed to when they chose to open the Shenyun world.
[However, the technology tree of this civilization is quite crooked. ]
As the direction of normal scientific and technological civilization, materials science has always been the undoubted key.
Even the Skeleton People, who take a different approach, have always been thinking about how to increase the strength of their bones.
But now, the builders of this virtual environment have used the simplest wooden materials to construct a sophisticated and functioning instrument.
Li Hao could see that, except for some special parts that used high-strength artificial materials, this device that could create a large virtual environment mostly used normal wood materials.
This means that the civilization that built this virtual environment has extremely terrifying attainments in geometry and structure.
"camouflage?"
"No, they are just a group of undead."
Not knowing that the Creator's eyes were already on him and the others, Yan Tianjun continued to answer the questions of the [Master of Ghosts and Gods] calmly.
"I once encountered a civilization that also specialized in virtual and dream technologies."
"When individuals of this civilization are born, they are implanted with an offline artificial soul system and a virtual personality that can grow with the original body."
"Since this virtual personality is infinitely similar to the original personality, it can help the original body deal with various related events, just like the decisions made by the original body."
"Love, socializing, work, games, studying..."
"From being in love with countless girlfriends at the same time to being able to switch an automated light bulb."
"As long as the original body is willing, it is entirely possible to copy and back up its own virtual personality countless times to handle every trivial matter in its life."
Listening attentively to Yan Tianjun's story, the [Lord of Ghosts and Gods] suddenly couldn't help but ask.
"Then how do we distinguish who is the real person and who is the virtual personality?"
The star-like face suddenly spun, and Yan Tianjun said with a smile.
“That’s the crux of the matter.”
"When the original body dies due to an accident, those virtual personalities will compete with each other and become the new original body."
"Individuals of that civilization achieved immortality in this way, but also went to destruction."
Having said this, Yan Tianjun suddenly looked up.
"This virtual fantasy is a similar existence..."
"It is collecting behavioral data of all individuals who enter this fantasy world in order to simulate a virtual puppet personality."
Hearing the sound of the strings, they understood the elegant meaning. Having witnessed too many disputes, Duomu was the first to react.
[This is a factory, a factory that mass-produces puppet personalities to replace the original bodies! ]
An inexplicable chill arose, and Duomu couldn't even imagine it.
Among those individuals who walked out of this virtual fantasy, how many were puppets whose personalities had been replaced.
Just like Duomu had never thought that in this world protected by the two supreme beings, there would actually be people who dared to invade and assimilate the gods in it by taking over the world.
"In fact, I am now suspecting that the 'remnants of divine thoughts' that Wu Kui encountered at the beginning are actually puppets of this illusion."
