Chapter 876 I don't need humans anymore, Yadbert! (12)

Ian and Adalbert entered the void.

Compared with before Ian's arrival, the virtual realm led by Xiahui has completely changed into a new look.

In the virtual world of the past, although the surface looked sunny, the castle on the cliff was always shrouded in gloomy rainstorm. The dark rainwater flowed on the ground, and occasionally a human bone arm could be seen protruding from the soil.

But now, the original cliff castle disappeared, replaced by a silver mountain and a temple on the top of the mountain.

And under this silver peak is a brand new city that is booming.

Colorful brilliance circulates in it, and there are even heavenly clouds and mist roads that gather from all parts of the city and surround the mountain peaks.

"This is the most vibrant and safest virtual environment I have ever seen."

When he came to the Void Realm, seeing this scene, Adalbert couldn't help feeling: "The bigger the city, the more 'resentment' it contains."

"The more stagnant and decayed the city is, the more dim the city's brilliance will be, and the more it will be shrouded in dark clouds."

"But today's Xiahui leader not only doesn't have much resentment, but even has brilliance and flowing clouds. This is the proof that the people are living happily and full of hope!"

The silver mountain and the temple are the symbols of Ian, the lord prophet.

The city under the mountain means that this place is regarded as a holy place by the people.

Especially now that Ian's strength has been greatly improved, it has given the leaders confidence, making colorful rainbow lights appear among the clouds.

"Don't be too proud."

On the contrary, Ian himself was very calm. He looked around the virtual environment and nodded slightly: "All this is because the mountain people and ordinary people in Nanling have not lived a normal and stable life for a few days in recent years."

"Especially the mountain people and those refugees who migrated from the western border. They have just experienced the war, and it is the time when they are the most depressed and have the least demands. When they come to my territory, they can eat enough and sleep in a warm bed. They will be extremely happy. "

"Because there is suffering, there is a contrast. Just like Loren, if he has both parents and grandparents, will he be born with spiritual power because of despair and extreme worship? Impossible."

"but……"

Hearing Ian's rational and objective evaluation of his work, Adbert wanted to complain a little: "On Terra, there are very few lords like you, and you have done a good job, so there is no need to be so calm! "

"Haha, I'm really happy."

He lowered his head and laughed, then paused, Ian raised his head, and he sighed: "But Adelbert, after a few years, these people have adapted to the life and benefits of the Xiahui collar, and after the relaxed and superior life, they On the contrary, you will feel that you are not free under my management.”

"If you don't have food, you want food, if you have food, you want clothes, if you have clothes, you want a house, and if you have a house, you want a stable family... Next is the education of children, the medical system for treatment, Personal rights and even power, and then want to become a sublimator."

Ian's gaze was deep. Although he didn't use the power of the prophet, he seemed to have seen the future: "Desire is endless. What we have to do is to guide this desire so that it can be used in our career."

"The current Xiahui Ling has just taken the first step, and my career has just passed the stage of primitive accumulation. It's not a happy time yet."

The dead king researcher blinked his eyes, and he looked at the Xiahui Territory Void Realm in front of him, which was like a heaven. He recalled the pictures of the Void Realm he had seen in the past, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Then Ian, in your opinion, what about the other territories and countries on Terra?"

He asked, "What do you think of those lords?"

"It's all layman lords." Ian said firmly: "Even a guy who hasn't studied city management and sociology for a few days is worthy of managing a big city? It should have crashed dozens of times."

"As for those territories, they are even more chaotic, and they are all deterred and maintained by sublimated people's unreasonable violence."

"Even me."

"Aren't Scott and the others doing a good job?"

Adbert said: "They all serve the development of the territory wholeheartedly, and they don't take any self-interest—you don't know, do you? Scott's younger brother has also come to Xiahui to collect it recently, but he only takes it from his own A sum of money was taken from the salary to study for him, and nothing else was arranged.”

"As for Qingchao, he focuses on practicing martial arts, meditating, and learning knowledge. They all want to help you from the bottom of their hearts."

"They really are the best assistants."

Ian didn't hesitate to give his partner the highest rating.

But he said in a deep voice: "But this is just a Xiahui collar, and it already requires my best companion to spend all day managing it, and cannot improve myself."

"In the future, including the entire territory of the Mountain People, the entire Nanling... and even larger areas, where can I find so many companions?"

"My companions may not be corrupted by interests and desires, because they have already understood their dreams and followed me, but others may not...Scott's children, Qingchao's children, and even Alberto Your children may fall."

"Adelbert, as long as you use human management, no matter what rules you use or what slogans you shout, the end result will definitely be more selfish and enriching your pockets. This is not wrong, it is human instinct."

"Greed and plunder because of instinct, and then create inequality, and this inequality will create resentment. Even pre-epoch civilizations have similar problems. This is the final outcome of using human management and distribution."

"Wait!" Sensing the meaning behind Ian's words, Adalbert turned his head sharply: "What do you want to say, Ian?!"

"I don't need humans anymore, Adalbert!"

Raising his voice, Ian laughed and 'taken out' a bright red 'crystal ball' from his arms.

The crystal ball is red on the outside, and there are countless light golden veins inside, like blood vessels and veins vertically and horizontally, flashing bright source quality brilliance, as if broken, but blended into one.

This is exactly the ontology of the 'Source Quality Computing Chip Core' derived from the Xenogeneic Research Institute.

A pre-epoch civilization computing center with a 'fifth energy level' evaluation!
The red crystal ball is like a heart, it floats in the virtual world, and then begins to emit light spontaneously, mobilizing the surrounding spirit matter and the power of the virtual world to build a 'shell' for itself.

In an instant, streaks of red energy like tree roots spread in the void, and finally condensed into a huge kite-shaped 24-hedron.

A giant 'computing center' with a height of seven or eight meters.

Of course, most of this computing center is a protective shell, and the real core is still the fist-sized red crystal in Ian's arms.

As for the shape...

Yes, almost the same as 'Soul of the Source'.

The core of the source quality computing chip is the non-physical computing center designed by the "forerunner" who studied the star brilliance and source soul in his body. Before the "last echo" was sealed, it was the control center of the heterogeneous research institute.

In the Institute of Alien Species, the twelve stagnant time towers that seal the body of the ancient dragon, the controllers behind the countless virtual machine gods, and the automatic defense mechanism of the entire relic group, research and control, all rely on this computing core .

Looking at the source quality computing chip that is constantly improving itself in the virtual environment, Ian smiled: "This is the real direction of the future - human beings to learn, develop and create, and absolutely fair and just artificial intelligence to distribute, Adjust, manage the whole society!"

"Adelbert, this is the world I want!"

"The first step in the society I want!"

"The world you want..." Yadbert raised his head, staring at the ever-expanding red core in front of him.

——Is this the world Ian wants?
——The first step in a new society...?
But soon, he didn't have time to pay attention to the details of what was in front of him.

Sensing the extremely violent spiritual fluctuations, he turned his head and looked in Ian's direction, and then Yadbert discovered to his astonishment that Ian had actually forcibly stripped off the "Mark of the Dead King" in his soul come out!
The complex diamond-shaped imprint is contained in the soul of the prophet, and what constitutes this imprint is the souls of the tens of thousands of dead who were led by Avak back then.

When Ian does not take the initiative to input energy to activate them, they will not wake up, and remain in a situation similar to a pause, using themselves as a tool to strengthen Ian's soul.

But now, Ian, who has been practicing meditation for a long time, no longer needs these "simple" enhancements... and he has also found a most suitable home for the dead souls.

【king……】

Under the blessing of Void Realm and Ian's power, the souls that were separated out gradually woke up.

Thousands of white souls suddenly appeared beside Ian, and they slowly woke up, looking around blankly.

The dead soul in the lead didn't understand the current situation very well, and subconsciously asked: [Do you need us to fight for you...]

"It does not need."

Ian rubbed his forehead. To him, peeling off the mark of the dead king felt a bit like digging out a brain from his forehead, and the whole head felt empty.

But even so, he smiled and said, "I've set you free, set you free—but don't worry, when I say set you free, I don't mean let you fend for yourself."

"I just think it's not good for you to accompany me, an adventurer, to go through extremely dangerous situations, so I found a new home for you."

"It's right here." Raising his hand, Ian pointed to the computing center in front of him, which was like the heart of the virtual realm, constantly vibrating and vibrating the computing center of the virtual realm. He proudly showed: "This is the brand new home I found for you!"

"An excellent 'underworld' that can maintain the vitality of the soul for at least 600 years!"

Souls are a little dazed.

When they became part of the "Dead King", the self-structure of these souls was distorted. Except for a small number of souls with psionic talents, most of the other souls lost the ability to think and understand new things.

Their minds are fixed, which is why 'Dead King' essentially turns everyone into a tombstone.

But even so, there is still a part of the soul that still has self-awareness.

A young woman joins hands with a little girl, tentatively touching the red computing center.

They step into it.

Ian waited.

Alberto watched.

And the dead souls wandered blankly.

After a few minutes, the two souls returned.

[The King... Inside, it's spacious, comfortable, and warm! 】

The leading female soul was quite pleasantly surprised, and she stammered: [Although the analogy is a bit strange, it feels like being in the soul of the king... even more free...]

"of course."

Ian smiled and nodded: "The source quality computing core itself is one of the prototypes of fire made of high-energy materials, which can store most of the information including souls and thoughts."

"And its existence time and stability far exceed that of the dead king's soul in the general sense. At least there are cases to confirm that it can maintain an environment suitable for the existence of the soul for more than 600 years, reducing the wear and tear of the soul."

"In addition to this, it should have other benefits, have you felt it?"

"I feel……"

The little girl thought about it, and said while thinking: "I feel that I can rest in it..."

"You can... sleep in it!"

She found the exact word and spun around excitedly.

go to bed.

Can the soul sleep too?
Ian is not very clear, but he understands that the souls in front of him are already very tired.

From death to now, they have been imprisoned in their dead king's mark for most of the time. If Ian can't find other places to place these souls, he really wants to release them.

But now, they finally waited.

Wait until 'rest in peace'.
