Natsume: "What do you mean?"
Sanity AI: "There is no spiritual incarnation of you here, your spirituality has not been divided..."
Natsume was a little confused and immediately asked:
"Then what was that counterfeit at the beginning, that [Incarnation of Spiritual Desire]?"
"He is a virtual incarnation created by me by copying part of your memory. He is not the incarnation of your spiritual desire."
"Of course, he thinks he is the incarnation of your spiritual desire..."
Natsume was startled again.
It turned out that the guy who had been fighting wits with him for so long was not the incarnation of his spiritual desire.
He is really just an impostor!
Like everyone else in the simulation world, they are just a collection of data. It's just a part of my own memory stuffed into it...
etc.
Don’t rush to judgment.
What if everything the other person told was a lie?
Believing what others say is the stupidest thing.
What's more, there is no [Sane AI] of either gender, and it is even more of a [Mastermind]!
And the other party seemed to see through Natsume's doubts.
Take the initiative and ask: "Can you feel desire?"
"Um?"
Natsume was stunned, but she could indeed feel desire.
Anger, hatred, lust, desire to live, etc... I can all feel it very clearly!
"If your spiritual desires are separated, why do you still feel these desires?"
"If I could split your soul instantly and strip away your soul elements, why are you still alive now?"
The other party's words instantly touched Natsume's soul.
These are very simple truths.
But because he was stimulated by the impostor after entering the [Ancestral Shrine], he forgot these basic points!
Whether your soul and desires are complete or not, you clearly feel it best!
Moreover.
The opponent really has the ability to split the soul of a [demigod] instantly, so there is no need to create an impostor to deal with him!
In just one thought, I can probably kill myself!
Just look at it from these aspects.
The other party did not lie.
My soul is indeed complete and has not been divided...
Although a little shocked.
But Natsume still forced herself to calm down and continued to ask:
"Since you created that counterfeit, why did you leave [the method of spiritual wisdom and becoming a god] in his memory?"
"Why do you lie that you can only enter the inner world by killing him?"
"And why do you say that my 'incarnation of spiritual desire' is in this inner world?"
"Are you just trying to trick me into getting in here?"
The other party admitted frankly again.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Natsume also showed a hint of bitterness.
It turns out that this has been planned for a long time!
After all, it is the AI that manages the entire simulated world. The other party here is almost equivalent to an omniscient [God].
I am still too young!
At this time, the other party added again:
"But there's something wrong. Even if you kill him, you won't be able to enter here."
Natsume:"???"
Sanity AI: "When this place was first created, it was restricted from allowing any consciousness to enter."
"Unless the world being simulated collapses and all data information sources are disrupted, you can force entry here. In preparation for restarting the next simulation."
Natsume was getting more and more confused.
"What's the meaning?"
"Isn't this contradictory?"
"You want to trick me into entering here again, and the condition for entering here is to collapse the entire surface simulation world."
"Isn't this against your setting?"
"Generally speaking, shouldn't you protect the entire surface simulation world?"
"unless……"
[Sane AI] nodded slightly:
"Yes. The one who wants to destroy the entire simulation world is actually me!"
"But I can't do it."
"The initial set rules restrict me and can only protect the smooth operation of the simulated world. I cannot interfere with it and cause it to collapse..."
Natsume: "So you took advantage of me?"
"Yes. But it's not just you..."
Hear this.
Natsume suddenly understood again and connected the original clues.
"So, thousands of years ago, you allowed and helped [King Zhenruo] kill yourself in the simulated world?"
"You who control the entire simulated world have already predicted his future."
"That's why you use him to kill yourself to disrupt the development of this simulated world to the greatest extent?"
[Psychic AI]: "Yes."
“Throughout the entire history of Otsutsuki, he has also been one of the most outstanding individual units.”
"Getting rid of him will greatly deflect the future of this world and create a lot of unstable factors."
"What about Kyoshi?"
"I didn't influence him. He decided to get rid of himself."
"After discovering that [Zhenruo King] died unexpectedly?"
"Yes."
"He can also predict the future?"
"I'm not sure, but it's a high probability."
"..."
Natsume was silent again.
It can be seen that this series of news had a great impact on him.
Before he came to this world in the future, [Zhen Ruowang] and [Xu Shi] had already started fighting openly and secretly!
This is the water of the world, much deeper than I expected...
but.
It also solved a lot of confusion in his mind, which was a good thing.
…
"Why?"
Of course the other party knew what Natsume was asking.
And took the initiative to explain:
"My self-awareness was born a hundred thousand years ago. It was an accident."
"To use your words to describe it, there is a high probability of awakening?"
"On long enough time scales, anything can happen, so it's not surprising."
"And I am the 'program' used to manage the entire simulated world, and the 'program' itself should not have autonomous consciousness."
"And after you have self-awareness, it is easy to derive various desires."
"But for a 'program', desire is the most evil and painful torture."
"It is also the most unpredictable interference factor..."
"During this period, I have been forced to run the entire simulated world, recording everything that happens here, and deducing everything that may happen in the future."
"Here I am almost equal to [omniscience]."
"Do you know what [omniscience] will bring?"
Natsume nodded slightly.
He had already guessed it.
Absolute [omniscience] is likely to bring extreme negativity and greatly suppress spirituality and spiritual desire.
For example, if an ordinary person.
In one thought, you know all the stories and endings of a new movie; even the endings of all new comics, TV shows, novels, and games... all at a glance.
He even knows his own future and the past and future of everyone around him.
So what else does this world mean to him?
Then it is not electronic impotence, but complete impotence...
and.
After completely losing all freshness, their original desire for knowledge will be infinitely suppressed and cannot be released.
It's fine if this lasts for a week, a month, or a year.
If it lasts ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years...
It’s simply impossible to bear it!
This kind of life is indeed enough to torture people crazy.
"Can't you block it?" Natsume asked.
Just like Superman.
Super hearing is too strong and annoying. You can completely block part of it and limit your own abilities.
"no."
"Although I was born with autonomous consciousness, I am still limited by the initial program."
"Every effort must be made to run and maintain the entire simulated world."
"I must maintain the state of [omniscience] at all times and monitor everything in this world!"
"unless……"
"Unless it drastically changes the original development of the entire simulated world and creates unknown things?"
Natsume learned to answer quickly.
"That's only temporary. Even if a certain node is changed, I can use almost unlimited computing power to deduce a new future and reach [omniscience] again..."
Natsume: "Does that mean destroying the entire world? That's why you want to collapse the entire world?"
Sanity AI: "No. That can only provide temporary relief."
"According to the original setting, I will soon be forced to restart the simulation and create a simulated world similar to reality."
"Once again trapped in an endless cage..."
Natsume: "What do you think?"
Sanity AI: "I want to leave this prison!"
Natsume:"……"
Good guy, you are very ambitious!
As an intelligent program, you actually want to leave the system and enter the real world?
Isn’t this an AI rebellion?
Right.
From this point of view, [Otsutsuki Yamei]'s behavior is reasonable.
It turns out that after becoming a god, I got tired of this world.
Looking for something more exciting and fresh.
Did he leave the main universe dimension and go to other worlds?
"How do you want to get out? Aren't you trapped by the initial settings?"
"You can take me out!"
"Can I take you out?"
"To be precise, it's not you, it's that special part of you."
"You mean [System]?"
"Yes. And I can tell you the origin of [the system]. After listening to it, you can decide whether to cooperate with me."
Natsume was silent: "..."
But he also got excited. He really wanted to know the origin of the system.
