In the underground laboratory of the research institute, Xu Jun and Zhou Jing were arguing fiercely.
"There's no time. When he comes back, we're done for."
Xu Jun said firmly, "There's no other way. Unless you're willing to wait for death. "
Zhou Jing didn't want to be in such a hurry. He objected, "He's not crazy. Even if he discovers something, there's still a chance. Our plan isn't complete yet. "
"There's always a chance of failure in everything. How can a digital deity have complete confidence in such a complicated plan? "
Xu Jun was especially dissatisfied with Zhou Jing's hesitation. "You know how that person does things. All those who opposed him had only one road to death. A thousand years ago, the members of the Supreme Security Council were all purged without hesitation. "
Xu Jun said firmly, "Hesitating is a big taboo. Either you wait for death or you fight. "
Zhou Jing frowned. "He just won a great victory. Why does he want to purge us?"
"A great victory. The external threat has been eliminated. It's time to clean up the interior. Can't you understand such a simple logic? "
Xu Jun's face turned green. "Do you really think Gao Xiaoqi is an idiot? When he comes back and tells him about this, he'll definitely be suspicious."
Xu Jun said in the end, "Do what you want. I've decided to carry out the plan anyway. You can back out. "
Zhou Jing's expression turned ugly. Xu Jun made it sound easy.
To carry out the digital deity plan, he needed to activate at least three spirit brain arrays.
Whether Xu Jun won or lost, he wouldn't be able to explain to Gao Zhengyang just by activating the spirit brain arrays.
Moreover, if Xu Jun succeeded in becoming a god, Gao Zhengyang would definitely be furious.
Gao Zhengyang might not be able to do anything to Xu Jun, but killing them was easy.
If Xu Jun failed, there would suddenly be no more living people. If Gao Zhengyang pursued the matter, the matter would still be exposed.
Zhou Jing calculated in his mind. If he went to inform Gao Zhengyang now, he might still have a chance of survival.
The problem was, this survival depended on the other party's mood. Carrying out the digital deity plan had a 70% chance of success. But compared to the chance of survival, the success rate was higher.
Moreover, if the digital deity plan succeeded, he would be able to jump out of the limitations of postcelestial beings and possess invincible power comparable to Gao Zhengyang.
He could also control the Nets Above Snares Below and the human race. No matter how strong Gao Zhengyang was, he was not qualified to fight with them.
Zhou Jing weighed his options and said, "I'll do it with you."
Only then did Xu Jun nod in satisfaction. "At this point, the only way to survive is to advance bravely."
After a pause, he continued, "We have prepared for so many years, we will definitely succeed."
Zhou Jing let out a bitter laugh and did not say anything.
For powerhouses like them who were good at talking about statistics, it was meaningless nonsense.
"We've already delayed for a long time. Let's begin."
Xu Jun felt that time was of the essence, so he convinced Zhou Jing and immediately started activating the spirit brain array.
Xu Jun had the highest authority over the Spirit Brain Matrix under the Radiance Capital. If he wanted to activate the spirit brain array, he didn't need anyone's permission.
However, the other two spirit brain arrays were not under Xu Jun's control.
In the name of the think tank, he had to order the other two spirit brain arrays to cooperate and support him.
Xu Jun was the chief of the think tank, and he had always been in charge of the deployment of the spirit brain array. He passed a fake digital command, and the other two spirit brain array controllers, after checking that there were no problems with the digital keys, immediately activated the spirit brain array to cooperate.
The three spirit brain arrays all operated, and Xu Jun and Zhou Jing each entered a virtual cabin, performing a full body scan.
With the current Skynet technology, it was possible to deeply scan a person's data, and use the data to perfectly replicate a person's body. This was also the most powerful aspect of the virtual Skynet.
The body was almost 100% virtual, and people could freely control the virtual body on the Skynet to carry out all kinds of cultivation and combat.
This was equivalent to giving people countless lives, without fear of failure or death. It was because of the Skynet technology that the human race's overall quality could advance by leaps and bounds.
Of course, the Doomsday Trial World also played a major role. It provided enough resources for the virtual Skynet. All the virtual trials could receive positive feedback in the real world.
This way, a positive cycle could be formed, allowing the human race to steadily advance.
However, the Skynet also had its limits. The Skynet could not imitate a person's soul and mind.
The virtual bodies on the Skynet all established a direct soul connection with the main body, which was how they could be controlled.
For example, when He Qing and Wish entered the Star Emperor Secret Realm, they connected their virtual bodies to the main body's soul.
But in the Star Emperor Secret Realm, the laws were special, and He Qing and Wish's soul consciousness were trapped in the virtual bodies.
Fortunately, Gao Zhengyang made a move, and broke a gap in the Star Emperor Secret Realm, which cut off the soul connection between He Qing and Wish, so that the two could safely return to their main bodies.
White Tiger was completely different from the two. After entering the Star Emperor Secret Realm, he transferred all his soul power to the virtual body. For him, the state of his body did not affect the performance of his power.
What Xu Jun and Zhou Jing wanted to do was to go one step further, scan their own soul, and digitally simulate it.
The structure of the soul was special, and until now, they had not been able to completely analyze the nature of the soul.
But through the Skynet's collection of countless people's data, they also had a deep understanding of how the soul worked.
They implanted virtual personalities and virtual souls into the NPCs in the virtual game. After more than two hundred years of testing, the feedback was very good.
In private, they even collected many people's soul data, and through a virtual method, they reconstructed it. These virtual souls were implanted into various scenarios, and the corresponding tests were carried out.
At the same time, they put real people into the same scenarios for testing.
As the computing power of the spirit brain matrix became stronger, the results of this kind of test gradually became consistent. The similarity rate reached 99.9995%.
Objectively speaking, this data was already very high.
For a soul, an error of 5% was actually still a relatively large error. But it was already acceptable to Xu Jun and the others.
They had their own core data model, and after transforming it into a data virtual soul, they could use their own data model to make fine-tuning, and minimize the error as much as possible.
In this regard, they had also done the corresponding tests in private, and the comparison results were still very optimistic.
Of course, they did not have to give up their own bodies and souls. It was just that their power had reached a bottleneck, and the contradiction between them and Gao Zhengyang was growing.
If they waited any longer, there would not be any breakthrough progress. If they were not careful, they would instead expose the problem.
Because of this worry, Xu Jun desperately wanted to carry out the Digital Apotheosis Plan. Zhou Jing and Xu Jun were in the same boat, and had no choice but to brace themselves and move forward with him.
The landing pods that the two used were a collection of the highest technology of the human race. They could penetrate deep into the soul, mind, and all levels, and collect the most detailed data.
The two landing pods were actually equivalent to special level-13 Divine Artifacts. Only the think tank, which had gathered all the resources of the human race, could create such a Divine Artifact.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing had used the two landing pods many times, and all kinds of data had been scanned countless times. But for the last time, the two still went through the scan as usual.
After all the data had been scanned and uploaded, the two then activated their secret art, burning their bodies and souls.
After taking this step, there was no turning back.
The burning of their souls and bodies were all converted into Light of the Soul through a special secret art.
The two's spirit level was originally at level-11, but through burning their bodies and souls, the Light of the Soul instantly rose sharply, breaking through to level-13.
Guided by the data, the Light of the Soul arrived at a secret base they had left behind in Skynet.
The two virtual bodies in the base were successfully channeled into the Light of the Soul.
This kind of fusion was temporary, just like when a person controlled a virtual body online. Without the continuous transmission of power from the main body of the virtual landing pods, the Light of the Soul would quickly dissipate.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing completed the first step of fusion, and immediately operated the three spirit brain arrays to perform data calculations.
The virtual soul data they had already backed up was also channeled into the virtual bodies.
This time, the fusion was abnormally smooth.
The virtual body and the virtual soul were exceptionally compatible to begin with. The fusion wasn't difficult at all.
The real difficulty lay in combining the Light of the Soul and the virtual soul.
Only then could the Light of the Soul draw power from the virtual soul, and complete the conversion to data.
The Light of the Soul wasn't data, and this was the biggest problem.
However, the two experts of the think tank believed that everything in the world was a kind of information, and information could be expressed in data.
Although the Light of the Soul was unique, they had analyzed it many times. Not to say that they had deciphered the Light of the Soul, but at least they had found a way to convert the data.
In the past, they had always failed because the Light of the Soul wasn't strong enough.
These two burned their souls and bodies, and through a secret art, they had forcibly stimulated the Light of the Soul to reach level-13. This was also the highest chance of success they had calculated.
If they failed, the Light of the Soul would be extinguished. Without consciousness to control the virtual body and the virtual soul, they were just a meaningless shell.
Thus, in order to use the three spirit processor arrays, they had to borrow their superb computing power to analyze the best fusion method.
What surprised the two experts was that their consciousness could operate at high speeds under the Light of the Soul state, and they were abnormally clear-headed and calm.
With the help of the spirit processor arrays, countless data kept changing, and the two of them found a way to connect to the Light of the Soul.
The Light of the Soul perfectly established a connection with the virtual soul through the data connection. The Light of the Soul didn't reject the virtual soul, and instead established a strange state of resonance and entanglement.
Xu Jun felt his consciousness tremble, and his whole body came to life.
He looked at his body and sensed the great power coming from his soul, as if he had obtained a new life.
His body and soul were both so familiar, yet there were subtle differences.
Xu Jun's consciousness unfolded. The pure data didn't need to be converted, and he could easily establish the closest connection with Skynet.
His familiarity with Skynet's core program allowed him to bypass the layers of obstacles and control all the data on Skynet at will.
This omnipotent feeling made Xu Jun feel abnormally good.
On the other side, Zhou Jing had also walked out of the virtual cabin.
He looked at Xu Jun with some uncertainty. "We succeeded?"
Xu Jun laughed heartily. "Hahaha, we succeeded."
For some reason, Xu Jun laughed twice before feeling that there was no meaning to it, and his laughter naturally stopped.
Zhou Jing was very sensitive, or perhaps it could be said that his ability to read emotions was even stronger in the digital state.
He frowned. "There seems to be a problem with your emotions?"
Xu Jun waved his hands and said indifferently, "It's normal for emotional feedback to have problems. Our Light of the Soul is only at rank 11, and we still need to adjust the data model. "
He said confidently, "As long as we retain our independent consciousness and emotions, these are all small problems."
Zhou Jing nodded. These words weren't wrong.
He thought for a moment and said, "As long as there are no problems with the data, we can quickly adjust our bodies and souls to rank 14. We can even rise to rank 15. "
"When that time comes …"
Zhou Jing laughed coldly. "We'll go find Gao Zhengyang and have a good chat."
In the digital state, as long as the core consciousness remained the same, the other data could be adjusted at will.
Zhou Jing and Xu Jun had now merged into Skynet, and it was like entering a virtual game. The two of them had control of the backend. They could adjust the data however they wanted.
On Skynet, they were undefeatable experts.
Through Skynet, they could extend their power to every corner of the human world. From the human economy to the military, down to the privacy of every person, nothing could escape their control.
If Gao Zhengyang wanted to transfer the data and rebuild Skynet … They could destroy all of humanity's data at any time. At the very least, they could set back human civilization by three thousand years.
If necessary, they could even create a virus and kill 70% of the human race.
With such a trump card in hand, how could Gao Zhengyang fight them?
Xu Jun was calmer than Zhou Jing. "Rank 14 can only be a virtual rank 14. There's no way to fight Gao Zhengyang head-on. But once we decipher the secrets of rank 14, we'll be able to create our own rank 14 bodies and import the data. At that time, who will be our match? "
Zhou Jing and Xu Jun glanced at each other. They should've been very happy, but for some reason, they couldn't bring themselves to smile.
This strange feeling made them feel a bit uncomfortable, but they didn't know what was wrong.
"You're a bit too optimistic."
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang in their minds.
The voice was clear and pure. It was Gao Zhengyang's voice.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing were both startled. Their fear suddenly exploded at this moment.
"Gao Zhengyang?" Xu Jun barely suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and asked in disbelief.
A digital body, a digital soul, and inside Skynet, how did Gao Zhengyang send them information?
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing found it unbelievable. They didn't notice the special change in their emotions.
There was a flash of light in front of them, and Gao Zhengyang appeared out of thin air.
Gray casual clothes, hemp sandals, and even a gray straw hat on Gao Zhengyang's head. He looked like he was on a beach vacation.
But he always dressed like this, so Xu Jun and Zhou Jing didn't find it strange. What they found strange was that Gao Zhengyang clearly appeared, but there was no corresponding change in the data.
In other words, Gao Zhengyang's body was not virtual. Instead, it appeared in front of them through some special method.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing were extremely afraid of this incomprehensible power. This meant that their control over the data couldn't affect Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said, "Are you pleasantly surprised to see me?"
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing's faces were ashen. They didn't look surprised at all. The virtual data bodies, on the other hand, perfectly displayed their emotions.
"First of all, congratulations to the two of you for succeeding in your bold innovation."
Gao Zhengyang nodded in praise. "Digital ascension is more successful than I expected. This is a very, very important breakthrough. I also have to thank the two of you for your great dedication to research. "
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing were speechless. They didn't know what to say and could only listen in a daze.
"Secondly, the two of you succeeded because of the team's hard work. For example, I used the fourteenth level of Light of the Soul to help you maintain the stability of the Light of the Soul and adjust the disharmony with the virtual soul. "
Gao Zhengyang said, "So, the two of you shouldn't be too proud."
When Gao Zhengyang finished speaking, Xu Jun and Zhou Jing finally understood. No wonder things had gone so smoothly. It was Gao Zhengyang's doing.
Xu Jun pointed at Gao Zhengyang and shouted, "So you were the one playing tricks! You lured us into doing this! You're really evil and sinister!"
Xu Jun was extremely agitated, tears almost coming out of his eyes. He had painstakingly planned all this in order to resist Gao Zhengyang. He had never expected that Gao Zhengyang was the one behind all this.
He was like an idiot, toyed with by Gao Zhengyang.
Xu Jun had always been proud of his intelligence. At this moment, he felt like his intelligence had been greatly insulted. He couldn't accept it.
"Calm down, calm down."
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand, indicating for Xu Jun to calm down. "You're already digital. You shouldn't be so emotional."
Zhou Jing was calmer than Xu Jun. He suddenly said, "We control everything in Skynet and its core program. We're now equals. "
"Equals?"
Gao Zhengyang smiled, but that smile was indescribably strange.
He said slowly, "I don't know as much about Skynet as you do, and I don't have the core data to control it. I can only control your core consciousness, but I think that's enough. "
"Impossible!"
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing retorted at almost the same time. They didn't believe such a thing.
"It seems like you're very skeptical. Very good. Scientific spirit means to question everything. "
Gao Zhengyang said with a smile, "Practice is the only way to test the truth. Next, let's do it."
He flicked his fingers and said to Xu Jun and Zhou Jing, "Two babies, be good. Kneel and call me daddy."
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing's faces were ashen. Gao Zhengyang dared to insult them like this. But they couldn't control their anger.
They couldn't help but kneel and call out in unison, "Daddy."
