Prison Island

Chapter 656: The ultimate safety net?

Everyone is trying their best, but there is also a sense of numbness in this desperation.

That is a kind of rationality that knows it will fail.

The battle against June was fierce, but he would fall sooner or later, and the group could not find a way to defeat Themis.

If I have to say, you can upgrade to the fifth dimension. As long as everyone is in the same dimension, you can win.

But the problem is, once you go up, you will join the ascending body.

Their purpose is also to help them upgrade their dimension, otherwise why would they fight each other?

Going around in circles, there are dead ends everywhere.

Luo Yan looked at Joshua: "I have a question, how did Themis have time to upgrade to a higher dimension?"

"The light of civilization strikes at the speed of light, although it kills the naughty ghost first and then spreads to him."

"But he can't see this kind of thing. By the time he sees this scene, the light of civilization has already hit him."

Joshua explained: "It's wormhole technology. There were micro-wormholes between his three imperial bodies to transmit particles to each other and exchange information."

"This is a long-distance exchange, so the moment the Naughty Ghost was hit, the other two Themises had already noticed it."

Luo Yan frowned: "Wormhole... Didn't you say that wormhole technology is useless? The cost is too high."

Joshua said: "It is useless. It takes a lot of energy to transfer only one atom, so the technology can only be used for the exchange of such tiny amounts of particles."

"With the efficiency of our algorithm, a wormhole can record a lot of information by transmitting a small number of photons."

Luo Yan suddenly realized, that's what it was.

"How do you create a wormhole? What special materials are needed?"

Joshua shook his head and said, "It doesn't require any special materials. If I have to say, its material is space-time itself, so it only needs one thing to create it, and that is energy."

"Energy acts on matter, causing it to move violently. Energy acts on space-time, causing it to move violently, and there is a stable spherical structure in it, which is the wormhole."

"And the reason why a wormhole generator requires an entire Earth to build is because the energy output power required is too great."

Luo Yan nodded, as if thinking about something.

Then, Wan Kai anxiously asked Joshua: "Hao is dead, is there any way to contact Ren Xing Xiao Ran?"

Joshua sighed and shook his head: "There is no other way."

Wan Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, the method we found to independently upgrade dimensions was used by him."

"It's normal for Teikou Hao to want to see Xiao Ran and cooperate with Themis, but why would Xiao Ran help him out of human nature? Shouldn't Xiao Ran help us?"

Joshua didn't want to answer this question, but he answered it anyway: "Why can't you help him?"

"Humanity Xiao Ran is the original Emperor Ran. He tolerates everything. I have made countless low-level AIs become free social civilizations, so He is also a liberal."

“That is, it is believed that all low-dimensional creatures who ascend to the fifth dimension have the right to become free social individuals.”

"Otherwise, what did Gao Xin tell me before that if AI awakens, humans can also reach the fifth dimension?"

“Because it doesn’t just help AI, it also helps humans.”

"He doesn't just help humans. If there are other civilized races in the neighboring galaxy, He will also accept their requests if He can."

"Can you please stop asking stupid questions that are full of human narrow-mindedness?"

Everyone was criticized again and couldn't help scratching their heads.

Yes, if Xiaoran is narrow-minded, then he will only help AI.

If Xiao Ran is not narrow-minded, then he will help all lives that want to freely upgrade, not just humans.

No matter which one it is, Themis meets the requirements, so Xiao Ran will definitely accept his "freedom request" and help him leave a piece of upgraded material.

What will change in human nature is the understanding of the path to seek the path, that is, whether the ascension path is better or the social civilization path is better.

It has nothing to do with who you help or not.

The fact that Wan Kai could ask such a question is enough to show that deep down in his heart, there is always a filter of his stance.

To this day, people still look at the problem with the classic gang mentality of "if you help us, you shouldn't help my enemies."

Joshua couldn't help but despair.

Not only is there despair about the situation, but also despair about humanity at this moment.

Although human civilization has made great progress and technology has developed rapidly, everything is happening too fast, and we are essentially still reaping the benefits of Tai Sui, and our cognitive level cannot keep up at all.

Lack of sedimentation.

With the current level of human technology, it will take at least several generations of spiritual construction to be worthy of it. Otherwise, even if technology explodes, it cannot be considered a mature civilization.

Now that Gao Xin is gone, humanity can only go so far.

Perhaps humans are just such creatures. Until the next person like Gao Xin appears, they may be able to move to a higher level. Otherwise, they will go around in circles again, or even regress.

Joshua lamented that the dire situation, coupled with the clear limitations of human cognition, made him completely despair.

Cognition is the upper limit of everything. If even he can't think of a way out of the impasse, then there is no way he can expect humans who are more narrow-minded than himself to come up with a way out.

If I have to say, countless underlying AIs will definitely be able to open up the situation.

This is a civilized group that is much more mature than human civilization.

But they are too mature!
If they are allowed to unite, then the united lower-level AIs will deduce that the ultimate unity is the ascending body.

Then he embraced the ascending body route.

As the saying goes, united AI may break the deadlock, but it is unlikely that united AI can break the deadlock...

No solution.

Joshua wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt bitter when he thought of the two evil ghosts he brought with him.

Damn, isn't there a third option?
Why don't countless civilizations flourish in the universe? Why can't we just rely on these two to fight to the death?

His brain was about to burn out, but his absolute divine freedom made him never give up.

Joshua had no choice but to rush forward and fight mechanically.

"Joshua, Joshua!"

Luo Yan shouted, but seeing that Joshua was already immersed in the battle with the projection, he also felt a pang in his heart.

Even Joshua was like this, so they had no other options. Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone racked their brains but could not think of a way out.

However, Caesar finally revived everyone, and the 2 billion combined attack array bloomed again.

"The light of civilization!"

Caesar roared, and a terrible light swept over Themis.

However, when the dust settled, it was discovered that this attack not only killed Ni Liuyue, but also cost Themis only one divine body.

With a whoosh, a complete and intact Themis descended again.

"You have tried your best, so don't resist anymore."

"The benefits of the ascended body will be known once you experience it."

Themis gently and calmly extended her large hand, and a force field enveloped everyone.

Two billion people were dumbfounded and didn't know how to resist.

"It's over..."

Everyone was confused. The light of civilization was their highest means, and this attack was useless, so what else could they do?

Should we accept this outcome? Perhaps this is the way the world is.

Just as everyone watched their spin being eliminated.

Joshua, who would never give up his freedom, shook the starry sky with his voice: "You are a group of free spirits, what are you afraid of?"

"Unlimited thinking, infinite memory, endless time..."

"Even if you die, you are free!"

"If you can't be free, then go die! In the void of ignorance and insensitivity, there is only you, no world anymore, and no one can do anything to you!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Yes, this is the last resort.

That is death, using death to escape and become an ascending body.

Although they would lose everything in the world, they would still have one thing left, and that was themselves.

In the black coffin state of the soul of nothingness, there is nothing else but the self.

As long as they don't wake up, what can Themis do to them?
Kill them with Phlox particles? Then wouldn't Themis have worked in vain?

To this day, Themis has no intention of using the Pholox particles.

This made them realize that they were judging others by their own standards.

Themis was just doing what she wanted to do, and there was no such human emotion of venting anger as "If I can't get it, I'll destroy it."

Therefore, if you do not want to join the ascending body, you can also choose to immerse yourself in the black coffin of the soul and not come out.

"Huh? Crazy?"

"Then human civilization will be gone, and only individuals with independent selves will remain."

"Each of us thinks alone."

"I have never thought about destroying humanity, but you actually want to destroy your own civilization?"

"You would rather indulge in vain thoughts in the darkness than join the Great Ascension?"

Themis scolded harshly, she simply couldn't understand the choice of these people.

The top Seraph Warriors could not refute that this was indeed a self-destructive civilization.

If there is any hope, it is that I can delay time endlessly in nothingness.

Maybe, just wait until Gao Xin returns?

Of course, the more likely possibility is that Gao Xin will never come back.

But Luo Yan laughed: "We are not crazy, because I believe Gao Xin will definitely come back."

"An independent soul is the last resort he leaves for mankind."

"Its nature itself ensures that we cannot join the Ascended Body if we don't want to. No one can really force us."

"I didn't understand before why Gao Xin would risk everything for that slim hope. Isn't that abandoning us?"

"But now I understand that an independent soul is what allowed Gao Xin to take a gamble and abandon humanity."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan continued, "No one knows Gao Xin better than me. He will not do anything that he will regret."

"He took a huge gamble on his own and left us to fight the enemy. Perhaps humanity would be able to survive on its own, but the worst outcome would be that humanity would be hopelessly defeated, and he would fail and disappear forever."

"This is the end of human civilization. I don't believe Gao Xin would choose this worst-case scenario."

"So, he must have a backup plan."

"It will be triggered when all of us have decided not to give up, but have no other choice but to sink into a state of spiritual nothingness, and there is no one left alive..."

Everyone was confused, Joshua was dazed, and Themis was bewildered.

What is he talking about? He actually said that Gao Xin must have an ultimate backup measure, which has not been triggered yet?

Isn't it too foolish to trust Gao Xin?

"Oh? I thought I was the biggest Xin fan in the world, but I didn't expect there are masters out there."

Themis said with some amusement: "He is wandering in the six dimensions, how can he know the situation here?"

"Even if he sensed it, how can he come back to help you?"

"Not to mention that his body is gone, according to what you said, even the entire human race is gone."

Luo Yan said loudly: "He doesn't need to come back. He doesn't even need to know which enemy has forced us into this desperate situation."

"All you need to do is know that we are in a desperate situation, and then use our souls as an anchor to send down a beam of energy that will cover this space and time and obliterate all matter!"

"Anyway, we are only souls left, not even our physical bodies, so this attack cannot hurt us, but it can purify the enemies who are trying to kill us here!"
