As for what the soul in a living organism does to the dust, it may be to promote its faster digestion, or it may be to absorb it in another way invisible to the naked eye.
In order to verify some of his guesses, Bai Ning brought another animal mummy over and threw it into the dust.
The result was very obvious. A large amount of dust began to actively gather towards the animal corpse. In an instant, all the surrounding dust disappeared completely.
The absorbed dust first adhered to the body surface of the animal mummy, and then it was unknown whether it disappeared and was annihilated, or whether it all penetrated into the body of the mummy.
Since animal mummies can gather dust, Bai Ning simply dragged them in the direction of the white pillar.
Bai Ning's progress was not very fast, but the animal's carcass stirred up a tornado of dust on the ground.
A large amount of dust gathered, and the animal mummies were like a bottomless pit vacuum cleaner collecting dust crazily.
Bai Ning even felt that the weight of the mummy seemed to be increasing rapidly!
According to common urban rumors, the human soul weighs 21 grams. If these dusts are really the souls of silicon-based life forms, the actual weight of these dusts may be exaggerated to a certain extent.
Suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, Bai Ning dragged the animal corpse and continued to move towards the white pillar. As he was approaching, Bai Ning was already sweating from exhaustion.
This skinny animal mummy probably weighed several hundred kilograms at this time. It seemed extremely heavy when dragged on the ground. If the ground here hadn't been smooth, Bai Ning might have collapsed halfway from exhaustion.
After this trek, the dust tornado stirred up by the animal mummies became even larger, and Bai Ning was completely enveloped in it.
Now Bai Ning could only see the direction of the white pillar through the gaps occasionally exposed by the dust tornado. Gritting his teeth, Bai Ning pushed the animal corpse onto the pillar.
As if some kind of pause button had been pressed, all the dust flying in the air was sucked into the body of the animal mummy.
All the dust seemed to have undergone some kind of chemical reaction in the body of the animal mummy. The mummy, which weighed more than gold and iron, suddenly squirmed and expanded in a circle, then decayed and deteriorated at a strange speed, turning into a puddle of black debris piled on the white surface. One side of the column.
As if it had absorbed enough soul energy, the white pillar actually emitted a glimmer of light, just like the state of the crystal core in Bai Ning's hand.
The dust in the air has stopped, but there is still a little dust accumulation on the ground. Bai Ning returned to the mummy area again, dragging a mummy back to the white pillar.
The previous dust tornado reappeared, but on a much smaller scale, leaving behind another pool of black debris, and the fluorescence of the white pillars became even more intense.
At this moment, a more powerful touch command reappeared in Bai Ning's mind, and his right arm was raised unconsciously again. Even if Bai Ning wanted to step back and leave, it was already too late.
When he raised his right arm, he had already taken out the crystal core from his pocket. Through the indirect contact of the crystal core, Bai Ning's eyes were instantly blinded by the dazzling white light.
It seemed like an eternity or a brief moment. When Bai Ning's vision gradually recovered, the white pillar in front of him remained unchanged, but the pile of black debris on the ground disappeared.
Have you been pulled into some kind of consciousness space again?
Looking around, I saw that the basic layout of the Gene Temple was still there, but there were no animal mummies on the surrounding altars.
Thinking about the pure white space he experienced in the Soul Temple, could it be that if another gust of wind blows, he will be brought to the area where the management core is located?
Bai Ning patted the white pillar in front of him with his hand. He felt that he had to rely on it to contact the management core.
Just as he raised his hand, Bai Ning suddenly discovered that the crystal core in his hand was missing.
This is very strange. Everything has been copied in the consciousness space, except for the elements of the crystal nucleus. Is there any similarity between the crystal nucleus and the animal mummies outside?
I patted the white pillar a few times with my palm, just like patting a piece of marble, without any special feeling.
After trying to no avail, Bai Ning turned around to look elsewhere, but when he turned around, he saw two familiar figures.
Jiang Yingxue and Aaron.
In the real space, Bai Ning clearly learned that they had lost all vital signs.
Could it be that what appears here is their soul?
Can the white pillar also perform some soul-level manipulation?
Or perhaps, this is just a conscious hallucination based on Bai Ning's subconscious, some inducing factors that will lead Bai Ning to make fatal mistakes.
"Come here."
Bai Jing greeted him quietly, with a calm look on his face. This trial was like an ordinary strike-up.
The performance of Jiang Yingxue and Aaron was very much in line with Bai Ning's expectations. Even though there was a little doubt in their eyes, they still chose to trust in their actions.
Just like when time went back not long ago, they knew nothing about what was here, and Bai Ning was leading the exploration process.
"So, what's the difference between this white column and the previous black column?"
After approaching, Jiang Yingxue asked casually, and then began to look at the white pillar in front of her.
There was no touching, and the look in his eyes became more thoughtful, as if he wanted to figure out the nature of this white pillar himself before getting Bai Ning's answer.
Naturally, everything seems to be a reenactment of the past timeline, a follow-up interpretation of another parallel time and space plot.
The attributes of time and space are something that Bai Ning has long denied. Everything currently happening is just attributed to illusion by Bai Ning.
Or perhaps, this is a disguised temptation and test from the core of management.
"I think you should be more aware of this distinguishing characteristic.
Gene totem and soul totem, is this the essential difference? "
Bai Ning will not do some meaningless things because of Jiang Yingxue. Even if it is Jiang Yingxue's consciousness or soul standing in front of Bai Ning, he will regard it as the core of management.
Hearing Bai Ning's question, Jiang Yingxue still looked up at the white pillar in front of her, while Aaron, who was silent at the side, turned to look at Bai Ning.
The very unfamiliar eyes, the facial micro-expressions that would never appear on Aaron, revealed the emptiness of wisdom in the vicissitudes of life, as if a gaze came from the ancient abyss.
The possibility of a vision is confirmed.
But why are there two fantasy presentations here?
If Aaron is the core of management, then who is this Jiang Yingxue who looks up at the white pillar?
"I have to say that you were able to successfully activate me in my sleeping state. This is your strength, and it is also your luck.
You must have seen the thing that lives in the central pillar, and the purpose it wants to achieve through you has also been achieved.
Let me tell you very clearly that this place will be completely destroyed in the near future, and it is you who will bring about the destruction. "
As soon as the image of Aaron opens his mouth, there is a desolate and ruthless tone, as if the voice has been washed away by the torrent of time, revealing the continued heavy fatigue and boredom.
This is a way of showing emotion, and it seems to be something that an AI-like being should not have.
What is even more shocking is the conclusion of destruction expressed by the core management.
Originally, Bai Ning wanted to promote a dynamic balance between the management core and the fantasy core, but unexpectedly, he still acted as a chess piece of the fantasy core subtly, starting the process of the ancient ruins' demise.
From the words of the management core, it seems that it is not difficult to guess that once the dormant management core wakes up again, then this ancient ruins will enter the countdown to destruction.
"Your awakening also means that the core of the illusion can gradually steal the self-destruct authority.
Or maybe, just to prevent the core program from being invaded, you chose to go into a self-sealing sleep. "
Bai Ning's speculation is entirely based on the assumption that the management core is weaker than the fantasy core.
Just after he finished asking, Bai Ning suddenly realized an important issue, that is, whether the premise of the Tunguska explosion was based on the battle between the management core and the illusion core.
In other words, in order to prevent the illusion core from achieving final victory, the management core threw the energy core in the ancient ruins and exploded it.
It is precisely because of such civil strife that the management core fell into a deep sleep state, retaining only some basic functions. The fantasy core was thrown out by the aftermath of the explosion and fell into a long-term sleep state.
After the explosion, due to the erroneous efforts of all parties, under Bai Ning's prompting, the core of the illusion was returned to the ancient ruins, and the management core was finally activated.
In the previous struggle, the management core was already at a disadvantage. Now that the energy core in the ancient ruins has been lost, the final result will definitely be the final victory of the illusion core.
"The energy core in the ancient ruins was thrown out by you and lost its basic energy support. How can the illusion core destroy this ancient ruins?"
Bai Ning asked again. Jiang Yingxue, who was looking up at the white pillar in ecstasy, finally turned to look at Bai Ning.
“Destruction is death, the ultimate untraceability, forgetfulness, and integration with mountains and rivers.
Existence itself is testimony, inheritance, and a future that will never die. "
Jiang Yingxue's reply had her unique feeling, like a perceptual philosophical sublimation, which was completely different from Aaron's previous performance.
"You have been fighting against each other for so many years, haven't there been a symbiotic balance?
It wants to destroy this place. Wouldn't it be great if you completely eliminate the root cause of its destruction?
In this way, you are just some programs that control this place alone, and no one can do anything to anyone. "
Bai Ning still wants to create a dynamic balance between the two, hoping to give himself a chance to leave here.
