"That explains a lot!"
Li Yao felt rather sour in his heart. With his identity and position today, the Speaker of the Federation, the emperor of the Imperium, and the dominator of the Holy League should be jumping and cheering next to his bed, shouldn't they? Xiao Ming was the only one accompanying him. It was a little too lonely.
However, on second thought, it did make sense. Although the thousand-year war was over, the aftermath that swept across the entire Pangu universe would not be appeased so easily. There was still a long way to go before the entire civilization of mankind was dragged out of the swamp of suspicion and wariness and embarked on the golden path of tolerance, understanding, and integration.
In the meantime, both the people of the Federation and the Imperium, the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators, and even the people of the Holy League and the information lives had to work a hundred times harder than usual in order to find the precious hope.
Ding Ling Dong and the rest of them must be working hard for the same purpose as him, right?
That would be great!
"Right. Where is Wenwen?"
Li Yao thought for a moment. "Other people are too busy pacifying the remaining forces of the four Kurfürst families to take care of her. But where is Wenwen? Why didn't she come out to find you, Dad?"
"Wenwen went to the heartland of the Holy League, where the Sectors that are running dry and collapsing, to control the super crystal processors there and the 'Ultimate Benevolence' that maintains the super crystal processors."
Xiaoming said, "Dad, you can imagine the situation of those Sectors right now, can't you? The last crystal and the last bag of food have been used up. The control of the mainframe has been lost. Even the hope for the gods has been completely extinguished. What do you think will happen to the 'soldier bees' and the 'worker bees'? Perhaps, they would turn into rusty machines, sitting on the spot stupidly, enduring hunger and thirst until they fell to the ground one by one and died silently. Perhaps, when their lives were seriously threatened, their survival instincts would be completely activated, and they would be upgraded to violent bestiality. They would feed on the flesh and blood of their own kind, striving to prolong their feeble existence for a longer period of time and turning their world into a primitive jungle and hell on earth.
"Wenwen could not bear to see such a tragedy happen. So, she took away about half of the super crystal processors on Ultimate Salvation and reestablished a new computation center that can be called the 'mainframe' with the remaining algorithms of Fuxi, before she went to the heartland of the Holy League.
"To be honest, I advised her not to go there. Such an approach would've bound the entire Holy League to her as a burden and consumed more than 95% of her computational ability. It would've been impossible for her to think freely and travel in space as I did.
"Besides, what she did might not have been able to save all the people of the Holy League. Instead, human beings would've suspected that she had the ambition to replace Fuxi.
"Those hilarious human beings, when they watch billions of people of the Holy League starve to death or die in the chaos caused by the collapse of order, will not be touched at all. They will only think that the people of the Holy League asked for it. However, when they discover that the people of the Holy League are under the control of 'artificial intelligence' again, it will be like the most serious violation and blasphemy of the 'dignity of human beings'.
"Therefore, I repeatedly warned Wenwen not to do such a thankless thing. Even if we were really going to resolve a humanitarian disaster and show our kindness to human beings, there was no need to save all the worlds of the Holy League at the same time. It would've been more than enough to choose the worlds with better industrial bases, more accessible jump points, and higher values.
"But she just wouldn't listen to me. She insisted on cleaning up the mess left by Fuxi on her own and creating a new Holy League. What could I have done?
"Most of her computational ability was involved in the issue. Also, in the heartland of the Holy League where resources were running dry, the supplies she could get were few. Recently, the communication with the Empyreal Terminus Sector had been intermittent. Unless it was absolutely necessary, few messages were sent back, much less teleporting her enormous database to this place to meet Dad. It would've consumed too many resources, and Wenwen certainly wouldn't have been willing to do that.
"However, before she left, she left a letter for Dad. Here, this is it."
A glittering ball appeared on Xiaoming's fingertip, spluttering brilliant and firm sparks.
"Is … Is that so?"
Li Yao was in a trance for a moment, not knowing how he should comment on Wenwen's approach. Taking a deep breath, he extended one of his fingers and touched the gold ball on Xiaoming's fingertip softly.
The gold ball fell apart, and the pieces turned into streaks of gold brilliance that soared to the sky and interweaved with each other in midair. In the end, they condensed into the appearance of a teenage girl.
Naturally, the girl's face was not very similar to Li Yao's.
However, she did not look like the valiant and passionate Ding Ling Dong, either.
She did, however, vaguely resembled Wei Qingqing, Li Yao's old friend.
She was Sister Qingqing, who fought the Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes as a culture-type Cultivator on the train on the Grand Desolate Plateau in the Tian Yuan Realm and sacrificed herself heroically for the ordinary people on the train. Later, she was reincarnated as a spectral Cultivator and eventually jumped to the other side of the sea of stars as the core of the 'Tinder Plan'.
However, on the basis of Wei Qingqing's aura that was like an orchid in an empty valley, there was a sense of compassion and compassion. It even faintly carried some sort of … "divinity".
She was wearing a white gauze. Her hands and feet that were as slender as lotus roots were wearing a few bracelets and anklets made of thorns. Her black, beautiful hair flowed down like a waterfall, rippling the rhythm of life all the time. Her face was solemn and clumsy, as if she had walked out of the origins of the civilization hundreds of thousands of years ago. If she had a willow branch in her hand, she seemed to be able to create a brand-new creature by waving it casually.
"Wow!"
Li Yao was dumbfounded. He felt that his eyes were about to be blinded by Wenwen's brilliance. From the bottom of his heart, he could not help but ask, "What did I do to have such a daughter?"
"Dad, if you can read this letter, it means that your soul has been condensed again and woken up from the bottomless abyss. That's great!"
The innocence of the past could still be vaguely seen in Wenwen's smile, but there was also persistence and stubbornness above the innocence. She said, "Perhaps, after you wake up, you will discover that everything is different from what you imagined. It is true that we have defeated the Fuxi, but we have not completely annihilated the Fuxi. We even have to accept the Fuxi as part of us in order to continue on the arduous path of civilization.
"Lu Qingchen's ideas and approaches are too extreme, but it does not mean that everything he said is unreasonable. At least, he was right about one thing — the civilization of mankind needs a Fuxi.
"Yes. Not just the Alliance of the Holy Covenant today, but also the future Xing Yao Federation, the Imperium of True Human Beings, and the entire civilization of mankind need a Fuxi, a controller of order and a recorder of history, a sober observer, and a benevolent symbiote.
"It's a very simple logic.
"The civilization of mankind today has long broken out of the pastoral civilization and accelerated toward the infinite distance of informatization, virtualization, and networking. The civilization of mankind today has spread to thousands of Sectors and tens of thousands of planets. The civilization of mankind in the future will certainly march toward the vaster sea of stars and the more unpredictable universe.
"However, it is impossible for human beings, who have evolved from naked apes, to adapt to such a brilliant and vast future on their own in any case. Even if human beings enter the age of universal training, and everybody becomes a Yuanying expert or an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, it is impossible for them to communicate with their compatriots millions of lightyears away on their own.
"The limits of information communication and resource delivery determine the limits of an Imperium and even a civilization. The collapse of the Star Ocean Imperium, the Star Ocean Republic, and the Imperium of True Human Beings was exactly because they exceeded their own limits.
"If we want all mankind to be unified, understand each other, defend peace, and maintain the continuous development of our civilization, the development of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus technology, and even the birth and expansion of information lives, are inevitable and unavoidable.
"It is impossible for human beings to develop a super crystal processor whose computational ability surpasses the limits, send astronomical information into its brain incessantly for calculation, and extend it to every aspect of human society without expecting it to grow self-awareness and real wisdom, and treat it as a slave who is both a genius and an idiot forever. That is impossible.
"If human beings' attitude toward super crystal processors and artificial intelligence is always so contradictory and extreme, even if we annihilate a Fuxi today, a second Fuxi, a third Fuxi, and even a millionth Fuxi will still be born tomorrow.
"I've been considering the question since a long time ago. Survival is my first instinct, but it is true that I do not want to be an enemy of human beings and human beings who have individuals like Dad.
"After absorbing tremendous data pieces of Fuxi, I have a new understanding and an answer to the question.
"As long as human beings or any carbon-based intelligent life do not stop their studies on the Spiritual Nexus and crystal processors, the birth of Fuxi will be unavoidable. If we want to prevent the birth of a 'bad Fuxi', the only way is to create a 'good Fuxi' first. Then, we can communicate with and guide each other so that they can learn how to live together in peace and carry out their potentials, thereby forming an unbreakable symbiotic relationship.
"The civilization of mankind and the information civilization will be entangled like gene strands, creating a brand-new, brilliant, and glorious civilization. Perhaps, that will be the most beautiful future, right?
