My future is invincible?

Chapter 258 Stepping Stone

At the moment of switching virtual layers.

For a fleeting moment, Lan Yi, whose consciousness was trapped in the virtual layer, caught a glimpse of an endless row of pitch-black steel!

That's not an illusion.

In that fleeting moment, even a fifth-level psychic cultivator couldn't react in time.

The Blue Demon's senses temporarily transmitted some information.

In a fleeting moment.

Lan Yi's control over electromagnetic waves, in pursuit of perfection, roughly swept in all directions of the pitch-black steel behemoth at the speed of light. Within the electromagnetic wave signals that were fed back, that is, within a spherical space with a radius of 10000 kilometers, Lan Yi saw nothing but pitch-black steel.

10000 km!

What is this concept?
This is almost an order of magnitude of the Earth's diameter!

Within such a unit of magnitude, there are only endless steel megastructures, and these steel megastructures completely violate the laws of matter, not collapsing into a sphere due to their own weight. And this is only the part that Lan Yi can detect. Beyond this part, the size of the steel megastructure in which the main body is located is an unknown.

What made Lan Yi feel even more complicated was...

In this space region, roughly the size of Earth, he detected no biological signals from any carbon-based life forms or even wild animals. All he saw was a vast emptiness and utter silence. The cold steel resembled a colossal tomb, burying him, the only living person, in some unknown place.

There is no sky, no stars, no living creatures, no deep space, and no moon or sun.

Only darkness, coldness, and steel.

This is the true face of the world.

Utter suffocation and despair.

No wonder Jin said that the influence of the artificial divine realm megastructure spread throughout the entire solar system. The scope of the solar system here should not be the nine planets, but directly point to the Oort cloud.

If that's really the case, then this world would indeed allow psionic cultivators to wreak havoc without restraint. But the only problem is that there probably aren't any decent life forms that would provoke psionic cultivators from the main world to act on. Humanity has long been extinct, and as for the remaining White Spheres and Blades, it's unknown what kind of successors they will have.

As for the other psychic cultivators, no one knows where they've been thrown.

As for news of the Divine Fate Cluster [Silver Illusion], there was also no word from them.

After briefly receiving information from the real world, Lan Yi was once again immersed in the virtual world.

Just as K said.

After being thrown off the original virtual layer by the AI, three abrupt doors appeared in front of him.

The three doors represented three new virtual layers: black, white, and red. Not knowing their specific meaning, and with no success in investigating, Lan Yi casually chose the white door and entered the new virtual layer.

It's like a toilet flushing.

Lan Laomo's consciousness was suddenly stretched and slowed down by several points. After a kind of indescribable sense of traversing, he arrived in a new world.

This world is very primitive.

Before your eyes lies an endless expanse of grassland, with a ribbon-like river echoing the bands of clouds in the sky. Beyond the grassland lies a sense of darkness, like the edge of a world, with the distant sea also appearing as a border of black. The ethereal tranquility of this place is very similar to the landscape of Iceland in the main world.

This virtual layer has a fantasy theme.

On the horizon, Lan Yi's senses detected several winged lizards chasing and playing.

"Welcome to the new virtual layer, Your Excellency."

K had been waiting here for a long time. Compared to the tense atmosphere last time, this time the thick-lipped white man was much more gentlemanly and friendly. He not only prepared tables and chairs on the thick carpet-like grass, but also brewed a pot of fragrant tea and arranged exquisite cakes on a cake stand to entertain Old Demon Blue. "This virtual world is very interesting. Dragons, magic, knights, I even saw orcs. It's almost indistinguishable from the real thing."

“You seem to be very knowledgeable.” K gestured for Lan Yi to sit down.

“Real fantasy worlds often have gods, but there are no real gods here.” Lan Yi sat down and picked up a delicate pastry to examine it.

fake.

When microscopic perception reaches the atomic level, it becomes possible to detect that this is just a piece of information, or rather, information about the quality, smell, and color of these pastries is only at the molecular level.

“You seem quite interested in the company.” K didn’t enjoy the pleasant information from the pastries, but instead asked Lan Yi a serious question.

He is not an AI.

K, who still retains some of his autonomous and active thinking, suspects, based on the results of his access to the central data tree, that the Lan Yi in front of him may be the result of the expedition team that carried out the Fire Seed Project back then.

"You seem interested in making a deal," Lan Yi smiled slightly.

Humans have desires.

Dealing with people is much better than dealing with silicon-based iron men.

"I can pass on some sensitive information to you, but I also hope that you can help us obtain the authority to create bodies in the real world. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and we really want to go back to the real world to take a look."

K's transaction details were as expected.

Although it was obvious that K's purpose in wanting to see the real world wasn't entirely pure, Lan Yi didn't expose him since he meant her no harm.

"Perhaps it would be better to stay in the virtual layer; the real layer may not be what you expect."

"We have lived too long, and all we crave is true rest."

K sighed slightly, then conjured a USB flash drive out of thin air.

To K, it's a USB flash drive, but to Lan Yi, it's a jade tube containing a massive amount of information. Describing it as a miniature world wouldn't be an exaggeration, given the amount of information it contains is enough to encompass an entire moon. If the goal isn't simulation, but simply information storage, it could hold even more.

The jade tube fell into Lan Yi's hands.

It contains the development history of the Loumon Company.

The instant you actively use your mind to read the contents of the jade tube.

Old Demon Lan was then immersed in a joyful and festive world.

Before us was a large, golden title surrounded by ceremonial cannons.

【origin】!
The year was 2006.

Lumon Company was established.

In the same year, another important historical event occurred in the solar system: the solar neutrinos suddenly changed, and a strong solar storm brought an unprecedented wave of heating to the Earth's crust. This heating directly led to a period of great displacement of the Earth's crust.

This displacement period lasted for more than a year.

A powerful earthquake that directly destroyed a continent, a tsunami that submerged the Himalayas, and a jet of water that plunged into outer space from Yellowstone National Park—all these created a devastating apocalyptic spectacle!
See here.

Lan Yi already knew which world this artificial god realm was in the past. Artificial God Realm 2008 was a world where river civilizations were completely defeated. In this world, river civilizations became stepping stones for human civilization to survive.
