Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Luo Kunlun raised his right hand, palm facing the white light, and an indescribable suction force suddenly erupted.

Gaia's remaining will instantly let out a shrill scream. He felt his consciousness being torn apart and devoured. He tried to break free, but found that he couldn't move at all.

"No! Impossible, I am immortal—"

Luo Kunlun ignored his roar. The suction force grew stronger and stronger, and the white light dimmed at a visible speed, eventually turning into a barely perceptible speck of light, which he swallowed.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

As if still wanting more, Luo Kunlun immersed himself in the knowledge Gaia possessed.

He began to analyze Gaia's will, his martial arts that were in harmony with nature, and the deepest rules of the world.

Gaia's martial arts do indeed have their unique aspects.

To merge with nature and become the master of the world is indeed a powerful path.

How powerful is the power of a world? To become one with the world and its representative is to possess that unparalleled power, a leap forward as if overtaking on a curve.

However, the price is that one cannot know whether the merged self is still oneself or a will that has inherited one's memories.

At the same time, it is also very difficult to do.

Gaia's existence is almost a miracle.

After completely absorbing Gaia, Luo Kunlun slightly raised his hand, and the white light in his palm flickered for a moment before dissipating.

He raised his head, his gaze passing through the space station to those in control.

"Next, it's your turn."

"Wait, please, for the sake of our ancestors—"

"You have insulted your ancestors. In my eyes, you, and all of you, are worthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Kunlun's thoughts stirred slightly.

An invisible force spread out, enveloping the entire space station. Those who controlled it turned to ashes before they could even utter a scream.

Having dealt with all the controllers, Luo Kunlun turned his attention to the core area of ​​the space station.

There, the most advanced and comprehensive scientific and technological data and martial arts heritage in the world of Secret Martial Arts are stored.

Luo Kunlun's figure flickered and appeared in the core area. He looked at the storage devices that were flashing with light, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes.

These materials, combined with Gaia's knowledge, were a great gain for him.

In an instant, all sorts of knowledge were collected by Luo Kunlun.

Large-scale models and intelligent agents, humanoid robots, dedicated chips and in-memory computing, fully automated chip design, quantum communication and measurement, brain-computer interfaces, neurotechnology, cutting-edge materials, energy technology...

Some of these things still exist in theory, while others can already be applied.

How many problems can they solve? A lot.

There are many problems in this world that stand in people's way, but they are not unsolvable. It's just that those who consider themselves gods and in control don't want to solve them.

............................................

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

On the screens in every household, the latest news broadcast is playing:

"According to our news station, the world's largest nuclear fusion power plant, spearheaded by the federal government and designed in collaboration with top scholars from four continents, will officially break ground today on the east coast of Continent One. Once completed, this power plant will completely solve the energy shortage problem and achieve full coverage of clean energy..."

According to the latest report from the financial channel, with the promotion of new agricultural technologies and genetically modified crops, the price index continues to decline, and a new wave of economic growth has swept across four continents...

"Good news has come from the public welfare sector: the federal government has announced that within the next three years, it will achieve universal free healthcare and full coverage of twelve years of compulsory education, completely eradicating absolute poverty and allowing everyone to enjoy the benefits of civilized development..."

People living in this world seem to have stepped into another world overnight, for some reason.

Residents of the Xiacheng District, who were previously struggling to make ends meet and have no clothes to wear, have suddenly moved into spacious and bright low-rent housing, and the meals on their tables have become increasingly plentiful.

Medical resources, once monopolized by capital, are now open to everyone, and people with illnesses can receive top-notch treatment.

Those long-forgotten martial arts traditions are no longer the exclusive domain of a single family or clan, but are compiled into books and taught uniformly in public schools.

Prices are steadily declining, long-lost public services are returning to people's lives, dilapidated infrastructure is being renovated one by one, and the economy, healthcare, education, transportation... all sectors are improving at a visible pace.

As if overnight, the entire society was gently corrected by an invisible hand, and all sorts of new technologies emerged one after another.

Whether it's scientific and technological achievements or martial arts.

Of course, not everyone was without doubt about this sudden good fortune.

In the afternoon café, a few young people sat together, their brows furrowed as they discussed something in hushed tones.

"Have you noticed that lately, it seems like a lot of people have suddenly disappeared?"

"It's more than just disappearing! I was going through my photo album yesterday and found that one of my classmates in my college graduation photo is nowhere to be found. I asked everyone, and they all said that such a person never existed!"

"I heard that classmate comes from a very powerful family and used to be quite influential at school. Why has he suddenly disappeared?"

"Me too! That chairman of some Shengdian Group that my grandpa used to always talk about, I've searched through all the information, but I can't find a single trace of him. It's like he never existed!"

Such doubts did not only arise in cities 4-13, but spread to every corner of the four continents.

More and more people are realizing that something is wrong.

It wasn't just me who misremembered; almost everyone's memory showed a strange deviation.

Those important figures who frequently appeared in our past memories—powerful government officials, directors of large corporations that monopolized the market, ruthless underworld bosses—have now either undergone a dramatic change in temperament, transforming from arrogant and domineering to humble and approachable.

Either be replaced by a completely unfamiliar face with a resume so clean that there's not a single flaw.

Even worse, some vanish almost without a trace. Not only the individuals themselves, but also their families, relatives, and even their entire intricate social network disappear without a trace, as if they had never left a mark on this world.

Just like NPCs that are completely removed after a game version update.

This chilling phenomenon has inevitably attracted widespread attention.

Psychologists and sociologists from all over the world have devoted themselves to the research, and for a time, there were many different opinions and various hypotheses.

The mainstream academic explanation is the "collective memory bias effect": when the brain recalls the past, it automatically fills in the memory fragments, easily replacing vague real details with familiar information, thus causing memory bias.

When this bias is repeatedly propagated, people will gradually come to believe it as true and take it as their own real memory, eventually forming a large-scale collective cognitive error.

Some imaginative scholars have proposed the "parallel world interference hypothesis," suggesting that this disordered collective memory originates from human "real" experiences in another time and space, and is a fragment left behind after information from two parallel worlds collided.

Some have even put forward the groundbreaking "cognitive manipulation conspiracy theory," which suggests that a mysterious force far beyond human imagination has massively altered the real world, erasing those who should not exist and reshaping everyone's memories.

There are quite a few people who hold this view. They post and debate online, trying to find clues, but after searching through all the historical archives, news records, and private diaries, they can't find any evidence to support their claims.

Those who disappeared were as if they had never existed, leaving not a trace.

As society becomes increasingly promising, these vague speculations are quickly drowned out by a constant stream of positive news and become ignored.

People are more willing to believe that the beauty before their eyes is an inevitable result of the development of civilization, and that those memory biases are just a little joke played by the brain.

Those scholars who were deeply concerned about this phenomenon could only regretfully list it as an unsolved mystery of humankind and shelve it from public view.

Many writers, inspired by this, have created a large number of imaginative novels, including suspense and thriller, science fiction and fantasy, which are quite popular in the market and have become topics of conversation among people.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Luo Kunlun was conducting research in the core research room of the Starry Sky Space Station.

Six months ago, after Luo Kunlun finished purging the controllers, the first thing he did was to use the knowledge he had extracted from Gaia's will to carry out a large-scale cognitive modification of the entire world.

After eliminating the parasites entrenched at the top of power, Lo Kunlun carried out a complete "restructuring" of the world's power structure.

Damn it, not a single one was spared. Luo Kunlun wiped out their three clans, along with their entire network of influence, erasing them from this world.

The remaining people were given a "thought stamp" by Luo Kunlun.

After imprinting their "ideological mark," they are promoted to higher positions to continue working and promote social stability and development.

This is a use of mind control, namely, brainwashing a person to guarantee their loyalty.

After studying so many controllers, Lo Kunlun made significant progress in his research on mental powers.

In him, spiritual power was no longer ethereal but truly tangible.

It can interfere with reality and directly affect the soul, eroding the enemy's spiritual strength.

Creating illusions, causing people to die painfully in the illusion of being burned alive, or sinking into despair in the illusion of drowning, or reading other people's memories and spying on their thoughts... these are just simple tricks that Luo Kunlun can easily pull off now.

What he is currently studying is a more advanced field.

To unify the power of spirit and the power of mind, two forces that share the same origin but flow differently.
