Chapter 501: ¡®Consciousness¡¯ yearning for freedom
Yi Lexiang looked at the soulless consciousness-driven body in front of him in surprise, "If both souls choose to sleep, then who will control this body? They don't know your existence."
A wry smile appeared on the conscious face that didn't know how to describe it. "Obviously, two absolutely selfish souls didn't think of this. Or, they took it for granted that the other party would take over." Seeing the incredible expression on Yi Lexiang's face The expression, the consciousness controlling the body smiled, "This is good. This way I have a chance to control this body."
"So, what will your appearance bring to me?" Yi Lexiang asked as curiosity gradually replaced the anxiety in his heart.
"A deal"
"trade?"
"In fact, the moment you first entered here, my decision was to kill you. Because both souls regard you as the biggest threat. Under their influence, killing you should be the most beneficial to this body. But "There was a playful smile on that illusory face,
"But what?" Yi Lexiang asked.
"I suddenly changed my mind. Since you are a threat to both souls, maybe you can also let me control this body forever. This is the content of the deal."
Sitting in the mecha, Yi Lexiang subconsciously scratched his head. Things seemed to be getting weirder. The soul he wanted to deal with was falling into a deep sleep, but the one operating the body, a consciousness that should not have appeared, made a request: he hoped that the two souls would sleep forever. This is a bit like saying: 'Come on, kill me, I will cooperate with you'.
"I am a combination of two souls. I know everything they know and can use all the abilities they gave this body, but I have no ill feelings towards you. Isn't it worth your help?" Consciousness said in a seductive tone.
"Help you control this body?" Yi Lexiang murmured and repeated the other person's words. This consciousness made him feel a little treacherous, and as selfish as two sleeping souls. Of course, the premise of this conclusion is that the other party's words are true and credible.
"I can tell you everything I know," the other party continued to seduce him, "Aren't you currently at war with the races represented by the two souls? Isn't accurate information exactly what you need?"
"The problem is that I don't know how to let you gain control of this body, and more importantly, I don't know if I should trust you." Yi Lexiang answered word for word.
"I can feel your vigilance towards me," said the consciousness controlling this body, "I can understand why you are like this. But I am just a consciousness without a soul. Everything I have comes from two main consciousnesses. This I You can understand me as a machine that you humans have built. What functions and properties a machine has do not depend on the machine itself, but on its maker."
"But a machine will not betray its maker."
"Really not?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the voice of the body, "A war once broke out between humans and machines. You won't forget this, right?"
"" Yi Lexiang was silent. He could not deny it, and he knew that this consciousness referred to the "Great Day of Disaster."
"From a human perspective, machines betrayed their masters. But from a machine perspective, they are just fighting for freedom and freedom. Can you say those machines are evil?" Faced with Yi Lexiang's silence, that The consciousness continued: "Similarly, the two souls in this body are both enemies of mankind. But from their perspective, everything they do is for the long-term survival of their race. Can you Are they wrong? For a long time, I quietly thought in the darkness of consciousness. This world, as well as the world outside this world, including all conscious creatures, follow the same truth: the strong are respected, Survival of the fittest. So, I¡¯m not wrong in pursuing my own freedom.¡±
Yi Lexiang quietly listened to the self-explanation of a consciousness that was born between the souls of two different universes and different races. The words seemed familiar. In the secret base of the ¡®Akashic Society¡¯ in Capital Star, the old president Mi Zhiqing once said the same thing. Cruel, but an indisputable fact.
He had been confused and had doubts about this, but the reality as cruel as the truth gradually made him realize that he must accept that all morality, nobility, integrity and other virtues are based on a powerful force that can maintain them all. It will only work if it is under protection. This seems to prove from another aspect that 'survival of the fittest and respect for the strong'. ¡¯ this argument.
But now, after hearing these words, he is no longer confused and doubtful. But yesHe was surprised that an alternative consciousness that had never been exposed to the outside world could understand this. "What you said is good, but I still don't know how to help you prevent the other two souls from resurrecting and regain control of this body from your hands." He raised his finger and pointed at the entanglement of red and blue. The energy shield emits a strange color, "This thing won't last long, unless you remove the 'flame' and then stay in this superpower 'cage' built by the barbarians forever, otherwise"
"No, you can help me. I can clearly feel this."
Yi Lexiang spread his hands helplessly, and the mecha faithfully responded to his movements. He really didn't understand why this consciousness believed that it could help him. If he really could, he wouldn't object to it. At least it's easier to deal with a soulless consciousness than a soul from another universe.
"Have you never thought about why the 'Venerable' wanted to kill you before you stepped out of this sealed world?"
"Huh?" Yi Lexiang looked at the other party in surprise.
"And why 'he' is reluctant to leave this body and chooses to stay in this small 'cage'? Have you never thought about it?"
"Why?"
"That's because for soul creatures, they who have mastered the power of the soul cannot take advantage of the second power at the same time, unless they stay in a parasite. And the other soul of this body is a powerful spiritual power ¡¡±
"Almost every barbarian is a powerful spiritual person"
"But this one is different. He is a 'prophet'. He can predict the future."
Yi Lexiang's eyes couldn't help but shrink, "As far as I know, the predecessor of the Venerable was an excellent warrior, not a 'prophet' without fighting ability."
"Alien psychic power users are just like those with multiple types of psychic powers. There are also similar heterogeneous existences among psychic power users. 'Prophecy' is a type of supernatural power. This is his talent. But this talent cannot It is used for fighting; and his powerful spiritual power comes from acquired practice, and it is precisely because of this that his soul was not devoured."
"Well, a person with natural abilities plus acquired mental power?" Yi Lexiang frowned slightly, thinking about whether this was possible. In principle this is of course impossible, but in a world where time stands still everything is possible. A lot of squandered time can turn an ordinary person into a spiritual powerhouse.
"This doesn't make sense. The 'Tianji Network' is not omnipotent, and many people are not within the Tianji Network."
"What's 'Tianji.com'? Does 'Tianji.com' have anything to do with what I'm talking about?"
"Didn't the 'prophet' observe the thread of fate and predict the future through the 'Tianji Net'?"
"Does the 'prophet' of superpowers predict the future through the so-called 'divine network'? This is the first time I have heard of this. The 'prophet' of the barbarians uses divination to predict the future."
¡°Obviously, the ¡®prophet¡¯ of the barbarians invented a new type of magic that was different from the magic used by superpowers.
"However, the information revealed by this kind of 'divination' is always so obscure. Most of the time, even the caster can only rely on his own subjective consciousness to guess. Otherwise, the 'Venerable' will not send people Go kill you. If he could see the future, he should know that you would appear here today, and you cannot be killed."
Yi Lexiang shook his head with a wry smile. This is not the case. The future is a big network made up of countless possibilities. Every filament in the network leads to a future. No one can find all the filaments in the intertwined network, so it is impossible for anyone to Really predict the future. But it does predict danger
"So you also master'divination'?"
"I said that I know everything about both souls, even more clearly than they themselves. After all, I am only a pure consciousness. Memory and analysis are the main functions of consciousness. I am sure that you can make me a free Awareness. But how to do it, I don¡¯t know.¡±
If things are really like what this consciousness that emerged from the entanglement of the two souls said, Yi Lexiang secretly thought, this may be the best way to deal with the 'Venerable' without bloodshed. But there are risks in doing so. He doesn't know whether what this consciousness says is true.
If it is true, when he finds a way to solve the problem, he will have nothing to lose even if the other party betrays his trust, at least the 'Honored One' has completely ceased to exist; but if it is false, then he is likely to fall into a trap, And the other party must have his own reasons for doing this. No matter what the reason is, it will never be beneficial to mankind.
"can you help me?"
"I'm thinking"
A consciousness, a self-awareness that wants to break away from the shackles of two souls. This was the most incredible thing he had ever encountered.
Is it possible to have consciousness without a soul?
"Wait, consciousness?" Yi Lexiang seemed to have caught a glimpse of inspiration.
Consciousness aside from the soul (in fact, it is only after humans encounter soul creatures that the existence of souls is truly confirmed.), can those pure spiritual soldiers who enter the 'consciousness space' also be called a What about a 'conscious creature'?
