My future is invincible?

Chapter 276 Neutrinos

If the remnants of this civilization, the very foundation of this colossal world, are not overthrown, then no new civilization can be born. The vast past will drown and kill any new things that emerge.

It sounds reasonable and aligns with the values ​​of psychic cultivators.

Lan Yi nodded slightly as she listened.

It looked like he was about to nod in agreement at any moment.

"But you're not human, why should I cooperate with you?"

Lan Yi's words were astonishing. He had already blocked the prying eyes of the heavens and the earth, and deeply encrypted the information within a radius of one thousand meters. Neither false gods nor transgressors could receive their information beyond this encryption, unless they dared to forcefully attack Lan Laomo's barrier.

As for that lucky one, Bai Weizhuoya.

When Lan Yi steered the conversation toward a sensitive topic, she was already frozen in place, unable to hear or see anything.

You are not human.

Why should I help you?
Could it be a great and selfless spirit of friendship and mutual assistance in a multidimensional world?

Don't be ridiculous. Even in the main world, before Old Demon Lan dominated all ages and suppressed all others, people would often fight to the death between oceans and rivers. Not to mention humans or even alien species outside the main world. In the end, even if a spiritual cultivator does charity, they wouldn't be as dedicated to people outside the main world's civilization.

"..."

Agnes was rendered speechless by Lan Yi's words.

This silicon-based being's logic is that everyone is currently being oppressed and hunted by the remnants of the old era, so the proper course of action should be to find a way to flatten the virtual layer before attempting to control the real layer and establish civilization.

Even if we assume they aren't human, does that have anything to do with cooperation? Refusing to cooperate simply because they aren't human—what's the difference between this insane and paranoid logic and those increasingly erratic AIs?
However, Agnes did not expect this.

In fact, in Blue Old Demon's eyes, silicon is still considered human.

Silicon-based iron beings, though physically unrelated to humans, still retain human genetic information in their quantum information, and under suitable conditions, can revert to being human. This isn't just wishful thinking on the part of the main world, but is universally acknowledged by the artificial god realm. The most ironic thing is that they don't admit to being human.

This greatly displeased Lan Yilong!

Why should I help you if you're not a human being?
Even if it's charity, like pouring psionic energy into water, I'd be happy to do it. Not only will I not help you, I'll strengthen you ruthlessly, making you my slaves!

"Compared to a superficial cooperation that is destined to lead to mutual conflict, I think it's more reassuring to truly unite our minds in this kind of coordinated operation." As he spoke, Old Demon Lan extended his tangible hand toward Agnes. For these transgressors, assimilation is actually the best approach than killing them.

Lin Cheng's actions have proven this point.

Grab it in one swift motion! Refine it in an instant!!
"Humans are truly incomprehensible." Agnes initiated the backup transfer in silence.

…………

…………

A megastructured world, the reality layer.

This is the first time Jian Ziyue has broken out of the virtual layer.

With Lin Cheng's help, this sharp and unyielding swordsman opened his eyes in the real world. The moment he opened his eyes, countless sharp rays of light seemed to flash across the dark and gloomy real world, cutting the cold steel blocking the swordsman's way into dust!
That was not an illusion!

Upon awakening in the real world, Jian Ziyue, whose mastery of the [罡气] technique was unparalleled, immediately unleashed a sword energy slash upon the steel jungle within a five-kilometer radius. The atomic-level slash, accompanied by a storm of blades, instantly transformed the five-kilometer radius into a deathly domain of roaring and swirling sword energy.

However, what's truly suffocating is...

Within the nearly solid steel, Jian Ziyue, who could cleave through matter within a five-kilometer radius with a mere gesture, looked into the distance and, with his sword intent perception, still saw only endless steel!
Just like Lan Yi and the others said.

The reality layer is entirely composed of massive steel structures.

Within a space of five thousand meters, no, at least one hundred thousand meters, there is steel interwoven with superimposed matter and spiritual energy. Moreover, this steel does not deform or collapse due to the gravitational field. Even if a spiritual energy cultivator wreaks havoc, the power will instantly drop to an extremely low level after a certain distance.

In other words.

Even if they can freely reach the real world, how to leave this massive steel tomb is still a problem. They can't spend more than ten years clearing a path, can they?

Actually, Jianzi is more unlucky.

Although Lan Yi and Lin Cheng were also in the megastructure, their area, which stretched to the sky, still allowed them to see many irregular, dense, and enormous buildings. But the area where Jian Ziyue was located was truly just solid steel, and the oppressive atmosphere was comparable to an ordinary person being buried alive!
He only has ten minutes of time in the real world.

Originally, he wanted to avoid Lin Cheng, reach the reality layer, and use his little secret to survey and plant hidden points in the reality layer of the megastructure world in order to make some preparations. However, he found that he had underestimated the size and coldness of the reality layer of the megastructure world. No one would have thought that a dignified sword cultivator king would be trapped by such a simple and crude method.

Since we're not considering getting out of this predicament anytime soon, let's take a good look at the reality layer.

The sword that had stopped its storm of blades created a rain of steel shards.

However, just as he stopped moving.

It was an extremely subtle vibration, so subtle it resembled the friction of a massive steel structure itself. Unless one was a sword cultivator with exceptionally keen intuition and a spiritual cultivator with a deep understanding of the cosmic background, it would be very difficult to distinguish it from this noise that was almost like the background noise of nature.

"This is... a neutrino?"

Jian Ziyue was quite amazed.

He had heard about it from Old Demon Lan.

The world preceding this one was a global catastrophe caused by neutrino anomalies.

Then, in the apocalypse, the surviving remnants moved towards the interstellar age.

But whether in the post-apocalyptic world or in interstellar time, humanity in this world seems to have never touched upon the ultimate cause and effect of this world: what exactly was the anomalous neutrinos released by the star? Like a ghost, it suddenly appeared, caused an apocalypse for humanity, and then vanished without a trace.

But now, it seems to have reappeared.

This is what an artificial divine realm is like.

Especially in the artificial realm of gods that has been turned into cold tombs, you never know what is hidden beneath these massive remains, or what you might unearth by doing something unintentionally.

Jian Ziyue wanted to continue investigating.

But the time had already come.

With a lingering regret, he sighed, and his consciousness began to rapidly peel away and converge under the pressure of the reality layer, eventually plummeting at high speed.
