Cyber ​​Sword Immortal Iron Rain

The next stage of change comes from the outside world - as its language ability diminishes, the "tiger" also loses the basis for interacting with, utilizing, and even understanding all kinds of information in the world.

The water in the ocean of information that surrounds the "tiger" and constitutes everything in the outside world: they are part of the digital space, but they are also worthy of being called the digital space itself.

It's like reading too many identical words and being unable to recognize them in a short period of time - the information flows passing around the "tiger" no longer have any meaning, but they were originally the oxygen that the "tiger" absorbs all the time; it's like the "semantic saturation" unique to electronic creatures, or what is called "gestalt collapse."

It becomes a drowning fish: stripped away, isolated, misunderstood; out of everything.

The language that the Tiger once spoke, used to describe and express itself, is dead:

The transformation of the corpse is moving beyond the superficial layer and towards the inside.

……

Language: Language is the origin of digital space. Whether it is the most basic native code - binary machine language; the ancient Python, C series, JAVA, etc., they are the beginning of the evolutionary path, like the forest ape to humans; or the ninety-nine lines of mantras, Yin Shen Shen Mind, three-style prayers, dynamic karma fire...

In essence, humans created all machines - in order to communicate with their creations and make them carry out their commands; humans also created tools to communicate with them: but these tools themselves constructed new existences.

Human beings have not produced any creatures purer than electronic life: in them, humans have assumed authority like the gods, and like the gods, have left their own offspring - with language as the seedbed and language as the seed.

Blessed be They: even after their departure.

……

The tiger's roar had long ceased, and there were no more unconscious mumblings or whispers.

It is disintegrating, dying: because the language that once formed and constructed it is changing at the topological level -

At the same time, its self-awareness is also fading. The "tiger" is a giant beast created by humans, so in addition to the programming language that constitutes the basis of its thinking, it also uses Chinese as the "container" to carry its thinking... This is the common point of all new-age electronic life:

That is, the bottom layer of the soul is written in Chinese and Arabic numerals as the basis; it combines the carrier of the new-age programming language with the oldest mechanical language.

This makes them more like humans - but also gives them vulnerabilities that even humans do not have... or should I say, advantages.

……

In a daze, Tiger wanted to turn his eyes away and stop looking at the corpse.

But: What is an eye? How can it be turned away? And what exactly is a "corpse"?

"Tiger" no longer understands the meaning of "see".

……

As the language spoken by the Tiger changes:

The electronic body of "Tiger" is also changing - unless the electronic body has been purchased for a fee or free of charge, its appearance in the digital space is generally deeply related to the soul of the owner of the body.

Especially for behemoths like "Tiger" and "Crow": the visual signals projected by their bodies in the eyes of others are usually a reflection of their distorted minds; the Java Group never creates a standardized unified appearance for behemoths.

And the appearance of this body is about to become different - because the "Tiger" is taking the stairs to heaven.

It seems long: but it all happens in a flash.

The tiger was instantly transformed and killed, becoming an extinct language that no one can speak...

As the transformation progressed, rebirth began——

……

This rebirth came so quickly, and the impact was immediate:

The "tiger" is no longer an individual that can recognize itself... Even if it is placed in front of a square mirror that can reflect its original appearance and initial code, the "tiger" cannot recognize who the giant beast in the reflection is.

However, its "self" is not eliminated like "nothingness" -

Instead, it was broken down into smaller, more fragmented units - the first person was divided into feminine and masculine, as in the Ngala language, a Zande language spoken by ethnic minorities in Papua New Guinea and Congo; then the neuter was added, and like verbs, there were past, present and future tenses.

This change is still ongoing.

Every moment, every minute, every second, even every nanosecond (ns), every femtosecond (fs) to every zetsecond (zs) - the self of the "tiger" has a unique and unrepeated definition and name, until the shortest and smallest Planck time.

And every most detailed and pocket-sized conditional limitation, every possibility of the past and the future, the hypothesis and the reality, and the various products after their mixture...

Infinite division and constant deconstruction - just to help the "tiger" understand the illusion of self-existence.

So, in this process... naturally -

The concept representing "I" faded from the tiger's mind.

The once huge body of the tiger is shrinking and diminishing. Without the "I" as the anchor point of self-awareness, the existence of the second and third persons loses its meaning; it can no longer distinguish between "others" and "self", because everything is one.

In its current mind, it only knows one alias: a alias that symbolizes everything in the universe, the cycle of heaven and earth, you, me, him, her, and it.

That is the Tao.

……

The symptoms and emotions that were swallowed up before gradually disappeared from the body as the points disappeared: the originally large and fat body of the tiger shrank like a deflated balloon - the pain and depression caused by the friction between the self and the world, or the spiritual suffering caused by the human body...

In the Tao, there is no need for these things to exist; therefore, they do not exist in the language spoken by the tiger.

If one can forget oneself, where does suffering come from?

Of course, joy and other things are no longer there.

After "I" disappeared - just like a blind man regaining his sight, the outside world once again had meaning for "tiger": and this meaning was far beyond what language could carry, and could not be measured by human emotions - it briefly jumped out of the limitations of electronic life and seemed to be true but not true.

after this……

The numerous auxiliary limbs of the "tiger" were disconnected from the crab-shaped torso and turned into meaningless numbers and dissipated; the seven mouthparts opened and closed silently, then closed and disappeared, blending into the skin that became smooth and had pores; the body built up by various mental illnesses, separated from the most core soul, and scattered.

Until everything faded away: the tiger no longer had the appearance of a giant beast, but like the stories in the ancient scriptures, it changed from a weird thing to a human form.

This is not because humans look perfect - it's simply the digital space itself, the instinct to pay tribute to and emulate its creator: this is a digital world, a recreation of digital creatures.

It's just that it happens through the existence of the "corpse" itself.

……

……

The transformation of the "corpse" to the "tiger" continues - like the warmth you feel when the sun shines on your skin; this transformation is natural and a common instinctive reaction for both parties.

Although the concept of itself no longer exists, the tiger has not stopped changing in the eyes of the outside world and in its heart.

Just like the growth and development of living things: the language spoken by the tiger has become new and different.

……

……

Just like the Aymara language in Bolivia or the Quechua language used by the indigenous people of South America, the tiger's perception of time has also become strange. The future is not coming, but has already passed; but the distant past is still waiting in the distance.

Time is a one-way train that never returns, a criss-crossing river that connects to each other, or even a tangled and chaotic roll of wool.

"Yesterday" is used to describe the next sunrise, "sunrise" is the moment when the moonlight shines, the night is deep, and the tide rises. "Tomorrow" is an afternoon in "Tiger's" imagination, wearing human flesh and drinking dry beer, but it will never come; as for "last year", "Tiger" will experience it three times in the next second.

All concepts related to "time" became confused in Tiger's mind.

This is because time was originally a tool created by humans to help the weak human mind adapt to this cold and dry world: the "tiger" can see countless identical versions of itself around it, without the slightest difference; they are connected to each other yet remain motionless, sticking together into strips, forming an Ouroboros that is so thick that it reaches the sky.

This is the trajectory of the tiger’s past, present, future, and even possible actions in the digital space; it exists in this moment and in all directions of time.

This is the reality that only a tiger should see.

This is because time is an illusion, and the "corpse" helps it understand this: in the "language" spoken by the tiger, there is no longer the concept of "time".

Nothing ever passes away, the heavens and the earth never change: if one realizes this, then man can do the same.

Therefore, the tiger, which has a similar consciousness structure to humans, stopped its unconscious struggle and twisting - in its cognition, the "tiger" exists at all times; so "movement" also loses its meaning.

The tiger has nowhere to go: it has already arrived at every corner of the world.

Its body, which had become thinner and smaller than before but gradually became more symmetrical and balanced, was tightly curled up; it hugged its legs like a fetus in the womb; it was motionless like a mammoth in the glacier.

Embrace the origin and keep oneness, and you will naturally be pure.

At this point, the tiger is close to being in harmony with the Tao - only one step away from the gate to heaven.

……

When all the languages ​​that can express and describe the tiger's thoughts, its existence, and all the memory and thinking languages ​​disappear from the tiger's mind and even the outside world; the programming language that makes up its electronic body also undergoes a "deformation"...

The coherent images have lost their meaning, the stored audio is just a chaotic change of decibels, and the text is just a random doodle - there is not even the fear and pain of the self gradually dissipating: for the "tiger", these two concepts have disappeared into nothingness at the very beginning.

The human body that appeared briefly and was transformed from a tiger is gradually becoming smaller. Its skin, muscles, internal organs and bones, which are constructed from information, eventually collapse inward, until it changes from a "ball" to a "point" - and then disappears through the point: it becomes nothing.

Time? Space? Self? Everything?

Is it really necessary to distinguish between the above?

Perhaps - everything, everything... are one, there is no difference.

The existence that was once called "Tiger" has completely disappeared from all present and future of this world...

But it is omnipresent and can be seen in everything.

……

This was the first true victim after the corpse of the immortal named "Bai Shisheng" was washed out from the depths of the seabed by the exploding waves; and he was also the first beneficiary of his blessing.

Not dead, not perishing, not being erased—

Single and pure:

"Tiger" - ascended... in this sea of ​​numbers.

This is the only word that can describe its ending:

Although the tiger can no longer be seen, it has gained immortality - it has completely merged into the digital space and can survive in it for a long time.

Long life and long sight.

……

Even if the immortal who used it has long since died, this immortality of language still makes his corpse immortal - perhaps this existence will continue: until the end of mankind and the destruction of civilization.

However, to the participants of the feast, the reasons and causes were not important; no one cared whether the process was bumpy and bizarre; the dead and the ascended were nothing more than jokes after dinner.

The most important thing is: the body will finally surface——

And the world will change.

……

……

Chapter 292: Greed (Part )

……

……

If it were only the Beast Lord's virtual body, Manager Keman and the "Crow" after a full meal that transformed into a mind bomb, perhaps it could only destroy a small part of the data of the replica of the Earth and pollute the hearts of the people that had been generated and replicated in it - although from the perspective of the entire first half of the 21st century, such results are already remarkable enough.

And in Erni's mind, the "Lotus of Annihilation Beta 0.13" planted in the dead city will only be able to completely erase the unfinished "Time Beacon" from the digital space: for an early test-level information bomb like the "Lotus of Annihilation", if it does not undergo a complete activation ceremony... the destructive power will be limited to this.

Perhaps after a few months of responses and calm, Luzon’s Internet will return to calm again - the self-regulating ability of the digital space has far exceeded the level that man-made objects should have.

But in addition to the chain reaction between the two, there is also the summoning ritual performed by the British Alchemy Empire in reality - summoning the spiritual storm in the dead city "Guixu", reorganizing the entire Manila, and creating an earthly paradise suitable for the survival of old humans... and in the process, all living things in Manila except the armored alchemists were wiped out.

When all of the above happened at almost the same time:

No one can predict the consequences.

Is it completely unrelated, just a mysterious coincidence, or is it a designed causal chain?

No one who was still present knew the specific answer.

What is certain is that this change: whether it is the fourth princess who is still in Manila, the alchemist king sitting on the Manchester Alchemy Well, or the beast master in the Gama Building in Jakarta; none of them had expected such a result -

The chain reaction between the spiritual energy storm and the bomb in the digital space... or is it because of the resonance and overlap between the two that the seawater in the information abyss is truly stirred up:

Let the corpse hidden deep inside come to the surface?

No one understands the reason, and no one can find out the secrets inside.

Because the corpse of the dead immortal rose from the bottom of the sea:

There are countless more new and different changes taking place.

……

The spiritual storm stirred up a hazy white mist, which rolled over like a tidal wave, surging and hitting the entire land of Manila. It was also far more violent and swift than a real tsunami.
