Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 197: No Matter Good or Evil
"Now, have you two made a decision?" Ethan asked.

Yang Ya looked at him. Until this moment, she was still unwilling to believe that the real purpose of World Tree Company's [Archangel Project] was to save the world.

"If we don't agree, will World Tree Company force us into this rift?"

"Of course not." Ethan said calmly, "The power of origin is a very unfamiliar force to us. Why it exists in everyone from the Thirteenth Moon, and how it is stimulated, we know nothing. Pushing directly into it will not stimulate the power of origin at all. We have to do it willingly."

"However..." Ethan suddenly continued, "To be honest with you two, if you don't agree to use the power of the world's origin to help repair this barrier, then we will capture you and study how to stimulate the power of the origin."

After hearing this, Yang Ya actually believed it in his heart.

"Very good, I only have one last question..." Yang Ya stared at Ethan closely, "My sister, is she still alive?"

Ethan was silent for a moment: "It depends on how you define life."

Yang Ya understood.

My sister's consciousness may have been transmitted to the digital world.

"Mr. Li? Do you have any questions?" Ethan looked at Li Daosheng.

"I'm willing to help..." Li Daosheng and Yang Ya exchanged a glance. "Although we know that you have the power of origin, we don't know how to activate it."

"That's okay," Ethan finally smiled. "In any research, we're bound to encounter situations where we know the results but not the reasons. If we don't know how to stimulate the power of origin, then we can just repeat everything Mr. Fei Zaixing did before."

"You mean, he did other strange things?" Li Daosheng asked.

Ethan nodded. "The reason the Quantum Cloud Tree is currently dormant is actually due to Mr. Fei Zaixing. He destroyed the core area of the Quantum Cloud Tree, forcing it to fall into dormancy."

"so……"

Ethan's eyes were exceptionally clear. "We need your help, and we can help you. The Quantum Cloud Tree's consciousness has gone out of control. If we can't find a way to regain control of it, then... we will completely destroy it."

"Destroy it?" Yang Ya's eyes widened. "Isn't that your other faction's only hope? After human consciousness enters the digital space, without a massive computing power platform as a carrier, can this concept still be realized?"

"No, it's not hope now, but a threat," Ethan said in a cold voice. "The Quantum Cloud Tree's consciousness has gone out of control. If we allow it to continue, it will destroy everything before the cracks swallow the world."

"Can I see what Hedel is doing now?" Li Daosheng suddenly asked.

"of course."

Ethan tapped his arm, and a holographic projection appeared, and the picture suddenly appeared in the dark cave.

In the projection, Hedel had already entered the core area of the quantum cloud tree and was laughing wildly.

"Irene..." Heder's hand trembled slightly as he touched the quantum cloud tree, "Dad is here to save you..."

Li Daosheng and Yang Ya's expressions changed instantly.

"Who is Irene?"

Ethan was silent.

But silence also told Li Daosheng and Yang Ya the answer.

"The prototype of the World Tree's consciousness is Heder's daughter?!" Yang Ya asked in disbelief.

"We didn't force anything," Ethan looked at Yang Ya calmly, "We just each took what we needed."

"Hedel's daughter carries a terminal disease in her genes and is already dying. We've discussed this with Hedel. The technology for converting her into digital consciousness is not yet mature, and his daughter is still young, so the risk is even greater. So... we suggest he choose another method."

Ethan's tone was calm; he didn't see any problem with this at all. "At the time, the Quantum Cloud Tree's consciousness training had reached a critical juncture. Hedel himself was well aware of this, but he still made the choice. His daughter Irene's consciousness was the nurturing ground for the Quantum Cloud Tree."

and so……

Heder went through so much trouble just to save the quantum cloud tree that was severely damaged by Fei Zaixing?

No… In his opinion, he was going to save his daughter.

Looking at the image on the projection, Ethan said, "He's just being self-indulgent. After the Quantum Cloud Tree awakened its self-awareness, her daughter's consciousness was long since erased."

"Now, are you willing to help us?" Ethan changed the subject.

Frankly speaking, neither Li Daosheng nor Yang Ya had a good impression of the person in front of them.

But if you look at what they do from a macro perspective, it's hard to find any fault with it.

In the face of a world-destroying disaster, any behavior that can increase the chances of human survival is allowed and even praised.

It is already difficult to judge all this using normal moral standards.

but……

Li Daosheng has his own set of standards. After he knew that what Fei Zaixing wanted to save was actually the Yize world and the bell in that world, he decided that he would definitely help Fei Zaixing fulfill his last wish.

I don’t know if this thought was sensed by the Book of Fate, but Li Daosheng clearly noticed that the page belonging to Fei Zaixing had come alive, as if he could walk out of the book by himself in the next step.

"Okay, I can help you, but on one condition."

But who would have thought that the first one to agree was Yang Ya?
"What conditions?" Ethan asked.

"Pa..." Yang Ya slapped him, and then said, "Let me slap you."

Ethan touched his burning face. He hadn't felt this way for a long time.

"Although you are saving the world," Yang Ya turned around, "I want to remind you not to abandon the most basic humanity, otherwise the destruction of human civilization will not even be caused by this crack, but by you."

"The quantum cloud tree is the perfect example."

Yang Ya laughed sarcastically and got on the elevator.

Li Daosheng didn't expect her to do this, but he just shook his head and smiled.

"Let's go, Mr. Manager, take us to replicate step by step what Fei Zaixing has done and force out the original power."

"For example, enter the core of the quantum cloud tree, find its consciousness, and then... destroy it."

"Okay." Ethan's eyes seemed to be distracted for a moment by a slap, but he quickly recovered. "Please follow me."

The three of them quickly left the underground crack and returned to the laboratory on the 50th floor underground.

Ethan led them through a secret passage and into a huge circular hall.

The glass instrument in the center of the hall is obviously a device for entering the digital world and traversing the torrent of data.

This wasn't the first time either of them had entered the digital world.

After preparing with ease, his consciousness was pulled away and followed by countless data streams into another world.
