Chapter 66 Only Death and Taxes Are Inevitable

"Omniscience and omnipotence? Isn't this even more outrageous than the way of heaven?"

Lu Yan's heart trembled, and he felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

The fear in his heart made Lu Yan instinctively want to summon the flying boat magic weapon and escape directly, find a place to quietly hide from the entire cyber version.

But the next moment, Lu Yan immediately realized the problem.

"wrong!"

Omniscience and omnipotence means having absolute control over the entire cyber version. As early as the moment Lu Yan came to the cyber version, God should have known about Lu Yan's existence.

No matter what Lu Yan does, it will only be under God's calculations. This is the power that the omniscient and omnipotent should have.

Even if we take a step back and say that Lu Yan is the only unchanged person in many versions and a black household in the cyber version, God is restricted by the cyber version and was unable to detect Lu Yan in the first place.

But when Green Radish spoke the name of God, the other party should also be able to sense it.

Whatever you think, you must know.

This is the most basic ability of omniscience and omnipotence. If one cannot even do this, it is enough to prove that the other party is not truly omniscient and omnipotent!
Lu Yan began to calm down.

After carefully thinking about what Luoluo said, Lu Yan gradually realized that there were many problems there.

What kind of lofty authority is omniscience and omnipotence? If such a being really existed, its power would be enough to run through many versions, and would definitely not be limited to the cyber version. Even in the urban, fairy-tale, and apocalyptic versions, it should have been heard of.

Secondly, if this artificial intelligence called God is truly omniscient and omnipotent, then why does it need the Heaven Computing Center to provide soul computing power?
Even the omniscient and omnipotent cannot achieve infinite computing power and needs external souls to supply computing power. Isn’t this just a joke?
After figuring this out, Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The omniscience and omnipotence that Green Rose speaks of is most likely beyond the cognitive scope of the cyber version of humans, or it may be a form of propaganda carried out at the official level of a giant global enterprise, rather than omniscience and omnipotence at the conceptual level.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yan tentatively asked Luluo:

"Do you really think that He is omniscient and omnipotent?"

In order to avoid accidents, Lu Yan did not call God's name directly, but used "He" as a pseudonym.

Green Radish curled her lips and responded carelessly:
“This is just propaganda from those big shots so that people in our lower city can willingly go to the Heaven Computing Center to provide soul computing power.

Even if God is really that powerful, he has little to do with us in the lower city. Even the big shots in the upper city of City 14 may not be able to reach him.

Boss Quentin said that there are differences between big shots. The big shots in the upper city of City 14 are high up in our eyes, but they may just be small characters in City 1. "

After a slight pause, Luluo suddenly thought of Lu Yan's background and quickly shook her head to explain:
"Of course, sir, you are definitely not an ordinary big shot, you are definitely different from them."

Lu Yan didn't care, but looked at the spiral tower Heaven Computing Center that Luluo pointed to.

The towering tower seems to be able to pierce the sky, and the spiral surrounding the tower is like the long stairway to gods in mythology. Even if it is dozens of miles away, one can still sense the divinity in it.

Looking upward along the spiral, even with Lu Yan's fifth level of Qi training, he was unable to see the end of the tower.

And this is just the Paradise Computing Center in the Lower City. According to Luoluo, there are Paradise Computing Centers in the Central City, Upper City and even other cities.

The souls of countless psychic tax evaders are providing computing power for the artificial intelligence called God.

Even though He is not truly omniscient and omnipotent, the artificial intelligence that controls souls and transcends flesh and blood and machines is still far more terrifying than Lu Yan's current understanding.

The degree of danger of the cyber version is probably far beyond Lu Yan's previous expectations.

"Are all three options this time traps?"

Suddenly, Lu Yan felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

Previously, no matter the urban version, the apocalyptic version, or the fairy version, they were all within Lu Yan's cognition, but this cyber version made Lu Yan feel out of control for the first time. He had to understand this world and the psychic system as quickly as possible, erase all information that did not belong to this version, and completely integrate into the cyber world to prevent being noticed.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan looked at Luluo and asked:
"I want to settle down here temporarily and need a fake identity. Do you know any way to get one?"

When Luluo heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course! Boss Quentin is the best compiler in downtown. Fake identities, fake documents, and underground transactions can all be handled by Boss Quentin. That's the price."

"Price is not an issue."

Lu Yan's voice was flat.

As early as when he entered the cyber version, Lu Yan noticed that the spiritual energy in the air was thin, but the psychic energy system seemed to come from the same source as magic power. It seems that the spirit stone can also play a role in this cyber version.

If it really doesn't work, with Lu Yan's current strength, it is not difficult to get money in this lower city area.

After receiving Lu Yan's response, Luoluo hurriedly led the way for Lu Yan.

Gradually walking out of the bustling streets, there were large abandoned factories in their place. After coming here, Lu Yan clearly felt that the air quality had deteriorated a lot. Tiny dust was floating in the air, and the occasional passers-by hunched over and kept coughing.

Luoluo brought Lu Yan all the way to a dilapidated miner's elevator. There were already people waiting there. When they saw Luoluo and Lu Yan coming over, they all cast unfriendly looks at them.

But when their eyes fell on Lu Yan's robes, the hostility in their eyes immediately turned into fear. They all looked away and took the initiative to give up their seats at the front of the elevator.

The old elevator rose from the ground. Luoluo and Lu Yan stepped into it, but no one else dared to enter the elevator.

The elevator sank rapidly, and Green Rose spoke:

"The place we are going to now is the main cave in the lower city."

“Although the downtown area is prosperous, there are too many taxes to pay, such as sunlight tax, third-class air tax, market consumption tax, etc.

But in the cave, you don’t have to pay sunlight tax, market consumption tax, and air tax, and you can lower it to level 300, saving at least credit points every month!"

While Luoluo was speaking, the elevator had already traveled over a hundred meters, and what appeared in front of Lu Yan was a hollowed-out underground world.

It is filled with dilapidated houses made of garbage, with fluorescent plants and dim lights providing negligible illumination, and tens of thousands of people walking through the underground space.

There are complex mine tunnels and pits all around the bottom line space. It is obvious that there is more than one cave underground. These mine tunnels are the roads leading to other caves.

The elevator stopped, Lu Yan and Luo Luo stepped out of the elevator, and saw a gorgeous blue and white building in front of them.

The building was two stories high and brightly lit inside. It did not look like a building that could appear in a cave at all.

Above the main entrance of the building, three large characters were clearly written: City Tax Bureau!

Although he had some understanding of the abstract level of the cyber version, Lu Yan's brain still froze when he saw the City Tax Bureau.

"Why is there a city tax bureau in this cave?"

Luoluo looked at Lu Yan strangely.

"Every cave has a city tax bureau, otherwise how can we pay taxes?"

In front of the City Tax Bureau, a ragged crowd lined up neatly, and at the top of the building, the light strips formed a string of shining fonts.

【The only things that are inevitable are death and taxes! 】
