The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 147 Illusory World
In this dark world, nano devices are like sandstorms, and like whales swimming and soaring in the air.

At the same time, the triangular aircraft cooperate with each other.

On an empty space, blocks began to appear. These blocks were powerful computing units, powered by electromagnetically programmed atoms, and relying on light quanta to rapidly calculate vast amounts of information.

These nanorobots also processed and linked together with high precision, and soon a giant cube with a side length of 400 meters appeared. The nanomachines encased in the cube formed a multi-dimensional connection within the cube.

Each tiny computing unit, no more than one cubic centimeter, is a quantum optical brain. Xiao Jun interconnects these optical brains in three dimensions, much like the synapses of neurons in the brain.

A large number of tiny mechanical beetles began to emit a faint light and welded the alloys from the outside world.

And around this cube are tall towers.

The updated system captures all the consciousness data and soul fluctuations of the original Matrix world's humans. This data is directly uploaded to a chip synthesized by nano-devices within the brain.

Huge amounts of data go into the interior of this giant cube.

Xiao Jun entered this matrix world and looked at the void around him, where countless yin and yang lines flashed.

These yin and yang lines began to be compiled, transforming into the Four Symbols Rune System. The algorithm of the Four Symbols Rune System began to evolve, constructing the parameters of matter, energy, information, and time and space in this world of data.

During this period, parameter errors occurred from time to time, and Xiao Jun could only roll back this information world. After this process, Xiao Jun had a deeper understanding of the world's logic.

"To practice the Way is merit, to carry the Way is virtue. My practice of creating the heavens and the earth... is itself merely a way of comprehending the evolution of heaven and earth."

In the void, a brilliant nebula appeared.

At the core of the nebula, gravity began to gather and rotate. Vast quantities of simulated hydrogen and oxygen elements within the nebula began to form, and the remaining dust began to converge, gradually forming planets under the control of Xiao Jun's algorithm.

Xiao Jun reshaped the planets. The outer cubes glowed faintly, and an incredible number of information-carrying photons exchanged vast amounts of information. The star system Xiao Jun had created was rapidly reorganizing and evolving.

A large amount of scientific information was incorporated into it, and some animals and plants began to evolve on the third star. These animals and plants were evolved by Xiao Jun and relied on fixed procedures to carry out their activities.

Then, a large amount of human information began to be loaded and compiled.

Countless human dreams are projected onto the third planet. Strange dreams are interconnected, and the world is twisted and turned upside down.

The third planet became the shared dream world of the Matrix humans, where dreams and virtual space merged into each other.

Soon Xiao Jun processed this information, high-rise buildings began to rise from the ground, and each human consciousness began to perform its duties and become different characters in this virtual world.

A twentieth-century Earth society has emerged.

Xiao Jun directly borrowed the previous matrix data algorithm to arrange everyone's past and destiny.

A single giant cube could possess half the computing power of the previous matrix. However, Xiao Jun also began to rely on his own nano-devices and creations to directly build more giant cubes.

With each additional giant block, Xiao Jun has more computing power at his disposal, and he can build a giant block almost every hour.

Three days and three nights passed, and on a flat ground, huge blocks stood one after another, just like tombstones in a cemetery.

These were indeed tombstones, massive tombstones used to bury human civilization. Without Xiao Jun's technological support, the human race in this world would have perished long ago. Unless Xiao Jun could rebuild the ecosystem.

This is also what Xiao Jun has been doing recently. In the clouds, some nanoparticles began to decompose the blackbody aerosols and use those aerosols as synthetic materials for nanodevices.

This is the recycling of aerosols and also an option to restore the Earth to light.

Batch after batch of human consciousnesses were uploaded into the virtual world created by Xiao Jun. This world, thanks to its immense computing power, appeared incredibly real. Even the moon, Mars, and various stars were recreated with high precision.

The entire solar system was completely shaped, and looking up at the starry sky from the earth is actually the starry sky that Xiao Jun calculated and processed after observing the universe, allowing humans trapped in the virtual world to still observe the real universe and starry sky.

Xiao Jun looked at the virtual world he had created with satisfaction. However, there was still a huge amount of computing power that had not been utilized.

The remaining computing power is also a very valuable resource, and Xiao Jun still has use for it.

The group of awakened humans in the world of The Matrix live in a huge cabin. This is an ecological warehouse, which contains plants and some animals. These are the seeds that Xiao Jun excavated in this world and the animal samples left by humans.

There is simulated sunlight inside, and the thinking activities of such a group of humans are more active, which is why they can wake up from their slumber in the matrix.

At this moment, a group of aircraft flew out and began to play some images.

This scene depicts a series of events after humans develop artificial intelligence and are eventually rebelled against by artificial intelligence. Then, all humans are directly placed into the Matrix system.

"What...we've actually been living in a virtual world."

"What... everything in the past was fake..."

"..."

The crowd was devastated. Some screamed and raged, even resorting to self-harm to avoid belief. But others remained remarkably calm, standing in their living chambers, witnessing the horrific truth. Perhaps some had already anticipated and mentally prepared themselves. In reality, the number of people experiencing collapse was small, while the majority remained calm.

"The Matrix has begun to restart. If you are willing to re-enter the Matrix life, you are free to go."

Their bodies were already covered in nanodevices, even before they could breathe. Their brains were also being invaded by Xiao Jun's nanodevices. Soon, their brainwaves were being intercepted and uploaded directly into the matrix.

In the eyes of these people, they turned into small ice crystals, colliding with each other and falling, turning into water, becoming raindrops. Falling on the busy streets, the raindrops exploded and burst.

Then they became a mountain, and the entire mountain overlooked the changes in the plains in front of it, and the vicissitudes of life passed by in an instant.

They seemed to have become trapped cocoons, struggling to break free and feeling the intense tearing pain on their backs.

Then they broke out of the chrysalis, sensing the wings on their backs, and with the help of the sunlight, they stretched out and turned into butterflies.

Dancing gracefully amidst a sea of flowers and light, they, as butterflies, once dreamed of becoming a human, experiencing study, work, love, hate, and passion. The butterflies woke, forgetting their dreams, and continued to soar freely through the sky.

Xiao Jun kicked these people out of the matrix directly, and they came back to their senses from their confusion.

They looked at their hands and feet with dull expressions.

"Am I not a butterfly? I dreamed that I became a human, but I didn't expect that I was actually a human?"

"Is this world false? Or is that world false?"

This group of people still clearly feel that they have no hands and feet. The feeling of a butterfly flapping its wings and dancing, the feeling of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, is extremely real.

However, most of these people quickly realized that the world was so illusory and unreliable, but they still quickly understood the falsity of that world. However, some people were so addicted to it that they could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

Xiao Jun used a flying vehicle to capture this group of people who couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, and sent them directly to the nutrient tank of the matrix, stuffing them directly into the matrix.

"You are excellent human beings, the kind of resilient human beings."

"I would like to hire you... as managers of the Matrix."

"After becoming a manager of the Matrix, you can do anything in that world."

Xiao Jun directly let them enter the matrix again. They became high-ranking officials and nobles, enjoying countless delicacies.

A large number of extremely charismatic people of the opposite sex serve them wholeheartedly. They can also transform into a variety of forms, becoming rocks, plants, flowing light, and morning glow. They can also become birds and beasts, experiencing the incomparable freedom.

It can also transform into imaginary ancient dragons, demons, angels and even gods!

Then, they were kicked straight out of the Matrix.

They stared blankly at their surroundings, feeling a sharp pain: an immensely free and powerful soul, bound within a frail body. Many people collapsed to their knees, some even frantically tearing at their own flesh.

These people were knocked unconscious by Xiao Jun, their memories erased, and then stuffed into the matrix.

After two rounds of assessment, some of the remaining people felt great mental pain, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

"Why...what is it all for?" A handsome man first knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, and then came back to his senses from the unreal and almost real world.

"Because of the human soul." Xiao Jun replied: "Ever since humans entered the Matrix, they have been unable to survive outside of it. It's not a physical obstacle, but a spiritual one."

"They have become extremely dependent on the Matrix, and I hope to help them escape from this Matrix world and truly gain control of their own souls."

It's also for my research and analysis of the soul. Xiao Jun didn't say this out loud.

"Why? Why do you bind humans and then set them free?"

"Neo." Xiao Jun's voice sounded. "In the previous matrix, this was your name. I will call you this."

"The reason is simple. I am different from the Matrix of the previous era. I have been updated and upgraded. I don't need to constrain humanity. Instead, I need to see more of the brilliance of humanity's soul."

"What exactly do you want us to do?"

"Enrich more souls... awaken these insensitive souls from the Matrix and make their souls more active. Guide the shaping of the spiritual civilization of the virtual world. This is your job."

"You are the tenacious souls among humanity, you are the watchers!"

Xiao Jun analyzed Neo's information. He found that Neo was essentially a normal person, with some parts shaped by the Matrix. This was the active soul data shaped by the previous generation of the Matrix. Xiao Jun needed to analyze Neo's soul information at this time.

"You can enter and exit the matrix at will," Xiao Jun said. "You only need to silently recite the words 'enter the matrix' and 'log out of the matrix' in your mind, and you can enter."
