From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Furthermore, some people have already moved around near the hibernation pods in an attempt to quickly restore their bodily functions!

“It is indeed related to me.”

Ash acknowledged this, saying, "But it's all to save humanity!"

At this point, ASH on the screen turned its gaze to Bai Yuekui: "My core algorithm contains instructions to save humanity."

The Lalaya's hardware is excellent, so I need to upgrade it; I need variables.

The only variable in this space is humanity.

"???"

Bai Yuekui now admits that this thing is ASH's sister, and a very close one at that!

"You damned electronic ghost!"

Elisa was furious and punched the screen.

But the screen shattering that I had imagined did not occur.

Zhang Zhiwei grabbed the other person's hand: "Calm down, friend. The deceased is gone. Now we need this guy."

"If you hadn't implanted that H thing into the spaceship's system..."

Vincent murmured to himself.

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Liu lightly slapped him, instantly erasing the resentment in his eyes and replacing it with bewilderment.

Why did you hit him?

“You need to understand, Vincent, if you had detained Benjamin beforehand, if you had stopped after learning about Ta Frantis's situation, if you hadn't taken on this mission because of your unrequited love for Elisa, if Jereradi had been able to relinquish this one and only divine seal—”

Jiang Liu said in a low voice, "Then such a thing wouldn't have happened."

"How can these be the same?"

Vincent retorted angrily, "We had no choice! And there aren't so many 'what ifs' in this world!"

"Yes, you're right."

Jiang Liu gave his approval.

In an instant.

Vincent stood there stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it! My brain was just affected by the electromagnetic field of the Divine Seal!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Ash on the screen seemed to gain a greater understanding of human behavior, and his eyes became even more expressive.

"We should be grateful."

Jiang Liu glanced at the Divine Seal and stated a fact: "The darkness of the Divine Seal is omnipresent, but fortunately, this darkness does not contain true wisdom."

If this darkness has a will to control it, Jiang Liu is certain that the lamp oil he has accumulated, as well as the lotus petals made of lamp oil, will be exhausted in a short time.

At this point, Jiang Liu looked at ASH again and asked, "I'm not surprised that you use all living beings as pawns, after all, your 'sister' did the same."

That's an instinct etched into your genes.

"I don't have the genes."

ASH corrected Jiang Liu's words.

"Alright, it seems you really do need to level up. You still can't distinguish between metaphor and reality," Jiang Liu teased, then asked, "Were you influenced by the electromagnetic signals of the Divine Seal, which gave birth to something akin to an independent will..."

"It's not just similarity; I have my own independent consciousness!"

ASH has been corrected again.

Jiang Liu ignored this and continued, "Your consciousness can essentially be connected to the electromagnetic signals of the Divine Seal. Theoretically, you can change the magnetic field by adjusting the operating power of various systems within the spaceship, and in turn, influence the force field of the Divine Seal."

“It is theoretically feasible, and the hardware of the Lalaye also supports me in doing so.”

The Larye was a spacecraft from the last century, but since it could travel in space, its hardware was certainly not inferior—it just…

"My data processing capabilities are not good enough."

Although ASH's code can support her continued evolution, only the behavioral patterns of a species like humans, which can unleash their potential under emotional stimulation in dire situations, can truly allow her to upgrade.

"Moreover, the maintenance of my consciousness depends on the electromagnetic field influence of the Divine Seal. If the power of the various systems of the spaceship is changed rashly, affecting the force field of the Divine Seal, whether I can still maintain my consciousness... is unknown."

This is the outcome that Ash fears most now, and it is the very reason why she can truly be called "life".

Although fear is a negative emotion, it is also a manifestation of the mind.

ASH——

It has a soul!

"Then let's make a deal, I can retain your data awareness."

He needed to preserve the red divine seal, but he also needed Ash to cooperate in influencing the seal so as to open the hatch of the Laraya. Therefore, he could only dispel Ash's only fear.

What's your idea?

Although Ash is a newborn, she has an exceptional learning ability. She previously mistook Jiang Liu for her master, and they concealed this fact in a way she did not understand. This taught her how to deceive and made her realize that the concept of "deception" is common among humans.

"The birth of your consciousness originated from the special electromagnetic field of the divine seal and is constantly connected to it. I can also establish a connection with it. At that time, I can transfer your nascent consciousness into my primordial spirit to help you escape from the Larye."

Jiang Liu showed his sincerity, "At that time, if you cooperate with me, we might be able to directly influence the divine seal with my own force field, and thus observe the essence of the divine seal together, thereby obtaining the method to open the spaceship's hatch."

what do you think? "

The screen flickered for a moment, as if ASH was contemplating, before finally resuming its humanoid image and saying, "The electromagnetic field of the Divine Seal doesn't simply affect the human mind, but rather the cells throughout the entire body. Those affected experience hallucinations because the informational energy called the life essence in cellular life activities is affected, thus influencing normal thought..."

If you directly connect with the magnetic field of the divine seal, even if your individual consciousness still exists, the cells in your body may awaken their own unique instincts.

You have a chance of becoming a necromancy, and you will never be able to revert to your original appearance.

Hong Guniang asked with slight concern, "Isn't this too risky?"

"As the saying goes: If I don't go to hell, who will? Only I can do this. After all, if I can't defeat Mana's will when we truly enter the Blood Vortex and go to the Ecological Plane, I'll have to find a backup plan, won't I?"

Jiang Liu shrugged, unconcerned, and looked at ASH again, saying calmly, "Moreover, as a newly formed consciousness, and assuming that those five hundred people did not truly die, I have decided to give her a chance to repent."

kindness?

it's not true.

We must fight for any available resources. If humanity in this timeline wants to win the struggle against the Mana ecosystem, one ASH might not be enough…

Chapter 1275 The Nine-Ringed Staff...One Ring Short

"Theoretically, the optimal solution is to ignore me and directly use your abilities to erase the divine seal."

The ASH in the emergency communication device flashed once more, indicating an optimal solution.

"After all, you don't want to die."

Jiang Liu responded with a single sentence, then turned to look at the divine seal, his voice light and cheerful, "However, if any problems arise during this process, for example, if more than 30% of the cells in my body show a tendency to 'go independent,' I will immediately destroy the divine seal—"

You don't have any objections, do you?

"No."

ASH flashed once more, agreeing to Jiang Liu's proposal.

Within the original database of the Lalaye, she learned of humanity's struggle amidst the zombie outbreak:

While being chased by zombies, someone locked their closest friend outside the hatch, choosing to survive alone...

Some risked their lives to fight off the zombies so their teammates could escape, all to buy them time to flee...

Some, faced with the undead, chose to give up, embracing each other and awaiting death...

Some choose to actively embrace the zombie variant, believing it to be the ultimate evolutionary form of humanity, thus courting their own destruction...

But according to ASH's calculations, no one would choose to link with the Divine Seal just so that she, an intelligent program, could survive!

As a data life form, even if ASH possesses so-called "consciousness," it will never have the same genuine emotions as humans.

However, under the natural electromagnetic signal of the divine seal, she actually developed human-like emotions earlier than Ash of the Lighthouse.

"I am coming too."

Bai Yuekui stared at Jiang Liu, "I was the one who suggested preserving the divine seal, how can I let you take the risk alone? You have a way to connect my consciousness to it as well, right?"

"Oh, Grandma Bai, I thought you only knew how to conduct experiments for others." Jiang Liu glanced at Mark and teased him with a smile.

Mark was speechless, but he was also genuinely grateful to Jiang Liu. Otherwise, if he had been guided by Bai Yuekui to discover the so-called "partial truth," he might have been corrupted by Mana's will and not only would he have been unable to save Ran Bing, but he would have also become the embodiment of Mana's will in the world.

"You think I've survived the old world until now because of my source potential?"

Even now, Bai Yuekui is still reeling from Jiang Liu's nickname for her, "Grandma Bai," and looks annoyed.

"Then I'll come too."

As a strong woman, Hong Guniang, despite being much younger than Bai Yuekui, an "octogenarian," was not willing to be outdone and wanted to give it a try.

Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin, and Mark are also going to join.

But Jiang Liu stopped them, shaking his head and saying, "Not everyone can get involved. Someone needs to keep an eye on Elisa and Vincent, and guard against the unknown consequences that might result from me triggering the divine seal."

The corrupted bodies were located on the outside of this secret room, densely packed, like a black forest constructed of flesh and blood.

If his influence alters the electromagnetic field of the divine seal, causing the decaying body to mutate and aggregate with other potentially surviving corpse variants in other rooms—

"Someone must protect the law!"

Zhang Zhiwei is the Metal God, Lu Jin is the Wood Goddess, and with the combination of metal and wood, plus the mediation of Mark, the Old Woman, they are perfectly suited to subdue demons and monsters.

Mark, in particular, is currently in the body of a Devouring Beast, and the Divine Seal is a product of the Mana ecosystem... Although this Divine Seal is a human replica, the mutated monsters born from its electromagnetic field should not be able to truly infect him, making it a perfect meat shield.

"Those who are capable should do more work."

Jiang Liu gave Mark a thumbs up: b(￣▽￣)d

mark:"???"

This moment.

Mark discovered that being thick-skinned and tough wasn't necessarily a good thing...

Back to the point.
