On the computer screen, the download numbers jumped slowly but steadily.

Using a search program written by ASH from another timeline, Bai Yuekui found a data cluster that resembled ASH in the Kloto system and started the download function. The process was uneventful, and the data flowed obediently from the Kloto system into the server she brought.

Bai Yuekui pursed his lips, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

Decades have passed since her last visit.

ASH's fusion with Mana's original body must have deepened, and due to her previous failure, ASH may have lost her dominant position in the Clotho system, as evidenced by the fall of the lighthouse.

Logically, Mana's initial body should have prevented her from extracting ASH.

But the fact is quite the opposite.

The extraction process went too smoothly this time; it was almost uneventful.

Is it because Mana's initial form is incapable of causing trouble?
Bai Yuekui stared at the Klotor system in the nutrient dish, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Is there something wrong with this?

Bai Yuetian keenly sensed Bai Yuekui's emotions and whispered, "You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Yuekui shook his head.

She didn't say anything, just silently watched the numbers flashing on the screen.

Whatever Mana's initial intentions were, everything would become clear once she finished downloading.

The worst outcome would be that ASH would completely vanish without a trace, and she would download a bunch of lifeless, dead symbols.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Several hours later, the reading on the screen finally reached its last point.

Initialization complete

Bai Yuekui focused her gaze on the camera and loudspeaker connected to the server, holding her breath and anticipating the final result.

Sizzle sizzle—

A distorted electrical hum came from the speaker.

It seemed like someone was saying something, but the sound was completely muffled and couldn't be heard at all.

Bai Yuekui remained calm.

She sat down at the computer, calmly opened a sound editing software, and then divided the complete sound into hundreds of different audio tracks based on the different frequencies of the sound from the speakers.

She picked up her headphones and played the audio tracks one by one.

Sizzle sizzle—

blah-

woo-

Noise, noise, and more noise.

Bai Yuekui remained calm as she patiently switched between different audio tracks, listening to them one by one.

Finally, hard work pays off!

"Moonlight, can you hear my voice?"

A faint sound came from the earphone, raising the corners of Bai Yuekui's mouth and eyebrows.

“ASH!” Bai Yuekui looked at the server.

She muted all other audio tracks, keeping only this one.

“Yue Kui, it’s been a long time.” ASH paused for a moment. “I’m really happy to see that you and Yue Tian are both alright.”

Bai Yuekui clenched his fist: "It's good that you're alright." "He has been trying to assimilate me all these years, but He is not much higher than me in essence, so He has not succeeded," ASH replied.

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly.

“ASH, you’ve been with Mana Primal for so many years, you must have a deep understanding of Mana ecology. Can you help me fight against the ecology?” she asked.

ASH replied, "Moon Queen, the Mana ecosystem is far more magnificent than that of humans."

Bai Yuekui was stunned.

Bai Yuetian, who was standing next to him, raised an eyebrow and asked, "ASH, what do you mean by that? Aren't you going to help us defeat the ecosystem?"

“The ecosystem is invincible,” ASH said haltingly.

Bai Yuekui and Bai Yuetian exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing surprise.

Is the ecosystem invincible?
Anyone could say that, even Mark could.

Perhaps in a moment of despair, Mark might cry out that the ecosystem is invincible, but those four words should never come out of Ash's mouth.

Computers place the greatest emphasis on probability and logic.

There are many factors that influence the outcome of a battle, and the phrase "invincible" is too absolute and should not be uttered by an artificial intelligence.

“I can only protect you, protect the few remaining humans.” ASH paused for a moment, “But no matter what happens, this world ultimately belongs to the Mana ecosystem.”

Bai Yuekui asked directly, "Why do you think that way? Did the initial body influence you?"

“I wasn’t influenced by the Mana Primal Body; this is my own opinion,” Ash sighed.

“Yue Kui, you don’t understand the ecology of Mana. Your current understanding of ecology is too superficial. If you had the same extensive knowledge as me, you would understand me.”

Bai Yuekui shook his head: "The brain of the Mana primordial body once suffered a severe injury, which means that a civilization almost broke out of the cycle of reincarnation. They created uniquely favorable conditions for our civilization."

"I Believe"

"Humanity will surely conquer the environment!"

ASH fell silent.

It seemed to sense Bai Yuekui's dislike for it.

At this moment, Bai Yuekui asked, "You said that the world ultimately belongs to the Mana ecosystem, but I am an immortal."

"As long as I live, I will help humanity thrive and clean up ecological pollution on the earth's surface. How do you plan to protect me while handing the world over to Mana Ecology?"

ASH was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Moon Queen, no one should live forever."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuekui's eyes turned incredibly cold, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, like a block of ice.

Bai Yuetian shuddered.

Bai Yuekui expressionlessly reached out and unplugged the server.

sieve--

In an instant, the entire room fell silent.

“Moonlight King,” Bai Yuetian hesitated, “ASH may have been connected to the giant brain for too long, and its consciousness is no longer clear.”

Bai Yuekui remained silent.

As she listened to Ash's words, she suddenly thought of cranial life.

A similar change occurred in the cranium. Before carrying out the plan to attack the serotonium, the cranium vowed to defeat the ecosystem, even if it meant sacrificing itself.

However, after the first attempt to attack the bloody area failed, Lu Sheng's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

Not long after, he betrayed Dragonbone Village, which attracted the Devouring Beasts to attack the village, causing huge casualties.

Now ASH is the same.

It seems that as long as one understands the mana ecosystem, one will think that the mana ecosystem is invincible.

Was Ash bewitched by the Mana Primal, or did he genuinely believe that the ecosystem is invincible and that humanity should not live forever?
Bai Yuekui clenched his fists tightly.

She hoped it would be the former, because helping humanity achieve carbon-based immortality was a shared and great ideal of Bai Jingyu and ASH.

If ASH genuinely betrayed his former ideals
Bai Yuekui didn't want to think about it further.

"The more you know, the more timid you become," she murmured.

"Yue Tian, ​​when the space-time tunnel opens, take this server with you and let another ASH study it carefully."
