"Zhou Bai?" The lady in the palace attire was puzzled. "Are you still there?"
Zhou Bai did not respond for a long time, making her feel nervous.
At this moment, Zhou Bai's voice rang out again.
"Can you transform into a cat?"
The lady in the palace attire was slightly taken aback. She then said in confusion, "Yes, but there's no need. My human form is more suitable than a cat's. This is a body that I specially created for cultivation."
"I want to touch you."
A hint of annoyance flashed across the lady's face. "What are you trying to do? This doesn't sound like something you would say. "
"Turn into a cat for me to see."
"Don't you want to recover your Daoism?"
The lady in the palace attire exhaled. Her figure shrank, and she had already transformed back into a cat.
At the same time, a Zhou Bai slowly walked out from the virtual world. He picked up the kitten and held it in his arms, stroking it.
The kitten in his arms said impatiently, "Have you touched enough?"
"Don't you like the cat body?"
"It's very inconvenient to take care of long fur. A cat's limbs are not as convenient as a human's hands. There are inconveniences to clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Furthermore, in terms of cultivation, the cat body is worlds apart from a human body..."
Hearing the lady criticizing the inconveniences of the cat body, a voice suddenly rang out in Zhou Bai's mind.
...
"Son, listen to Mom's advice. You can't have a woman. In the future, Mom will find you a cat. It's much more reliable than a woman. "You can play games with a cat on your lap, but can you do the same with a woman?"
...
The corners of Zhou Bai's lips suddenly curled up slightly in an undetectable manner. The kitten in his arms said uncertainly, "Are you smiling?"
In her memory, the Sky Demon Zhou Bai should not be smiling for anything.
Zhou Bai said calmly, "Do you still remember when we were studying together in the Dao school?"
The kitten in Zhou Bai's arms frowned and tried hard to search through the memories of the past three years, trying to understand why Zhou Bai was saying these things.
At the same time, a voice kept echoing in Zhou Bai's mind.
…
Zhou Bai: "Humans and cats are of one mind. What's yours and mine? If you learn it, I learn it. Besides, we have such a good relationship. If I die in the future, this body will be yours. "
Cristina: "Really?"
Zhou Bai: "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"
Cristina: "Okay then, you choose."
…
Cristina said, "Humph, what I, Cristina, love to do the most is to slap the high and mighty immortal gods in the face. Don't worry, just cooperate with me later. With my skills, I can carry you to victory. "
Zhou Bai: "Why don't you f * cking use your own body to slap the face? You're dragging the hatred onto me."
Cristina said, "We humans and cats are of one mind. There's no need to differentiate between yours and mine. I'll take all your hatred for you."
…
Cristina asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Bai: "Why didn't you tell me you woke up? You scared me."
Cristina said, "It's my turn to go to class in the morning. What's wrong with me waking up? Why is she holding your hand? What are you doing? "
…
In the virtual world, the cat in Zhou Bai's arms said tentatively, "We had a good time in the Dao School, didn't we?"
"Zhou Bai, if you insist on continuing to unite with the Sky Demon Chi, what awaits you in the future is loneliness. All your companions will leave you."
Zhou Bai did not answer and only asked, "Cristina, do you remember what we looked like when we first met?"
The cat began to search through the memory in her mind. Although it was also her memory, there was a strange and alienating feeling as if she was a third party.
…
"You're Zhou Bai?"
"Stop looking. You can't see me."
"Do you want to live?"
"Then take this. Remember, don't resist, don't reject."
"Your cheat. With this, you might be able to defeat that guy outside."
…
The cat guessed what Zhou Bai was thinking and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. 'Could it be that because the time spent with the Sky Demon Chi is too short, he still retains some feelings?'
'This might be a breakthrough point.'
Thinking of this, the White Cat rubbed against Zhou Bai's chest and said, "Zhou Bai, I will always be with you. Give up on the Sky Demon Chi. That is definitely not the right path you want in your heart. It's just that the huge amount of data and super computing power of the Sky Demon Chi has mutated your thinking …"
However, halfway through her words, she felt her body tighten. Her entire cat body was lifted up by Zhou Bai. He looked into her eyes and said, "You're not Cristina. She wouldn't act coquettishly to me like this."
The White Cat said, "Why am I not Cristina? It's just that my past memories have been awakened and I have different habits. "
Zhou Bai said, "Human bodies are almost the same. Do you know why we have different thinking? Why can different people be distinguished from each other through thinking? "
Looking at the silent White Cat, Zhou Bai continued, "The difference lies in the state."
"Two brains that are made up of the same elements and even have the same number of molecules and atoms. What's the difference in the thinking they give birth to? Why does it change according to their experiences? "
"State."
"Even if the composition of all matter is the same, as long as the state of matter is different, their thinking will be different."
"It's like how the difference in swordsmanship is not determined by the sword itself but the way it is used."
The White Cat said coldly, "What are you trying to say? Am I not the cat you want right now? "
Zhou Bai said slowly, "A three-year-old cat suddenly injected with the memories of another cat for thousands and tens of thousands of years. How can it still be the same cat?"
"The state of your brain is already completely different from Cristina because of the huge amount of memories that have been injected into it."
"Your likes and dislikes, your habits, your feelings, your dreams, your thoughts … are all different."
Following Zhou Bai's words, the entire virtual world slowly dimmed. His figure also finally disappeared, leaving only the White Cat in this absolute darkness.
"My cat is gone."
…
Zhou Bai looked at the words that Cristina had written on the screen and gradually felt melancholy.
Beside him, Em knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "King, do you need us to do anything?"
Looking at Em's respectful expression, looking at how Em's face was no longer the same as before, Zhou Bai suddenly felt a sense of irritation.
Realizing that Cristina's disappearance was like a crack in the dam of emotions, causing Zhou Bai's emotions, which had been growing increasingly indifferent, to fluctuate once again.
He thought of the deduction that he and Cristina had made together. In the future, all the opposers would be modified and brainwashed by him, and all humans would submit to his rule, living a peaceful, happy, and healthy life.
There would be no wars, no crimes, no conflicts …
He would rule the world with terrifying power, suppress the world, and suppress all those who refused to obey him. He would make the world operate according to his will.
The Sky Demon Pool's calculations told him that this was a very beautiful and safe future for mankind.
However, for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart when he thought of such a future.
A person who was high and mighty, worshipped by everyone like a god.
However, Cristina, who had experienced life and death together and relied on each other, had disappeared.
His companions would no longer quarrel with him, nor would they joke with him, much less tease each other. Zuo Dao, Jing Xiu, Qian Wangsun, Destructive Victory, Em … All of them were like clay puppets, obeying his orders.
Thinking of the figure on the mechanical throne, Zhou Bai only felt endless loneliness.
And thinking of how he had to run the entire society day after day, year after year, like a machine, to ensure the safety, happiness, and survival of countless people, Zhou Bai felt a trace of pain.
This was a civilization where everyone could live happily together, but he had to work hard alone until the end of time.
