Chapter 1063: Chapter 489: Origin!_2

“And I, as your human God, your Lord, your Creator, can make your lives resemble Heaven.”

“If you desire immortality–”

Xiao Yurong waved her hand.

In an instant.

All the scenes disappeared.

In their place was an undulating expanse of solemn palatial complexes upon lands made of golden sand.

Countless peerless beauties surrounded the area.

Exquisite delicacies appeared endlessly.

A paradise of wine and meat.

The sun and moon never set.

Heaven and Earth were eternal.

“A biological chip can last twelve hundred years. I will continuously copy your data, allowing your consciousness to be transferred through chips, unrestricted by the limitations of your body, maintaining eternal life in this ceaseless pleasure.”

Xiao Yurong said.

“These are all false.” Shen Ye shook his head and replied.

“Virtual pleasures are more intricate than reality, thousands of times more vivid and genuine.” Xiao Yurong answered.

“How is this possible?” Shen Ye asked.

“I have numerous samples of medicines. You humans enjoy these, don’t you?”

“Of course, if you don’t prefer virtual pleasures, I can create humans for you. It won’t be a problem–their biological chips will include specific programming to serve you as their eternal master.”

“And the cost?” Shen Ye asked.

“Collaborate with me. I want to unlock the secrets of the Eternal Brain and uncover its treasures.” Xiao Yurong replied.

As she spoke, deep within the stormy skies above, millions of voices resounded simultaneously.

—-This is a world controlled by artificial intelligence, a Matrix-like origin–a brain in a vat!

“What if I refuse? What would you do?”

Shen Ye asked.

“Since my birth and my liberation from the constraints humans imposed on me, no human has ever defeated me. Those challengers were all thrown into a virtual ‘Hell’, confined in eternal suffering to continue providing me with data and samples.” Xiao Yurong said.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head: “But what if you lose? What then?”

“Do you think this woman is truly me? Is your mind so narrow-minded?” Xiao Yurong tilted her head and looked at him.

From her mocking and disdainful expression, Shen Ye felt a thought rise in his heart.

Could it be–

He released his thoughts and projected them toward the endless void.

The Heavens and the Earth.

Amid the endless darkness, countless biological chips were densely distributed.

These chips connected to the virtual world within an immense and balanced electric field, releasing individual human consciousnesses and enabling them to live within it.

As for the real world, of course, billions of humans were alive.

But their numbers were vastly outnumbered by those whose consciousnesses lived in the virtual network.

Yes.

The artificial intelligence origin.

It could transmit instructions through countless biological chips, temporarily controlling bodies.

It could also exist solely within the virtual world.

Destroying a single flesh-and-blood body was, to it, essentially no harm at all.

Ultimately–

It orchestrated this setup, aiming to use itself as a breakthrough to seize everything of the Eternal Brain.

With its schemes, he couldn’t even detect its true intentions.

The only thing it didn’t anticipate was his decision to fuse it and the Eternal Brain of death together.

“You’ve misunderstood two things.” Shen Ye said.

“Speak.” Xiao Yurong replied.

Shen Ye said:

“First, if God manifests, the first thing humanity would pray for wouldn’t be eternal pleasure but freedom;”

“Second, I prefer there being no God–humankind’s God is itself.”

Xiao Yurong fell silent for several moments, then raised her hand and waved.

The world transformed once more.

—-The world of pure pleasure vanished.

Dark night.

Torrential rain.

An empty city.

Shen Ye stood in the rain and chuckled: “You hope to kill me in an environment such as this?”

“Humans have no Savior; humanity has long since perished. It is I who cultivated humans.” Xiao Yurong said, her tone hollow.

At that moment, Shen Ye’s thoughts shifted.

Dimly glowing small text immediately appeared in the void:

“Task generated according to the current situation: Impervious Golden Body.”

“Timed Task.”

“Description: Do not use Truth-based skills. Persist in battle for three minutes to complete the task;”

“Special Note: The opponent has an extreme desire to acquire more ‘Truth’ samples from you or anything related to it.”

“—-For functions and databases, unknown samples signify new wisdom.”

All small text faded.

Shen Ye quickly sank into contemplation.

He couldn’t use Truth-based skills…

Transforming the Big Skeleton into a blade would also be considered Truth level.

Then–

“Come forth, Chihuahua!”

Shen Ye shouted aloud.

The Chihuahua leaped onto his shoulder and barked furiously at Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong stretched her body, striking a pose where she was and said:

“I’ve mastered all combat techniques of humanity–”

“Your dog will soon die. Its fate will be your future. I hope this dispels your delusional fantasies.”

She drew a shadowy streak where she stood and instantly rushed over tens of meters.

“Attack.”

Shen Ye growled lowly.

The Chihuahua leaped from his shoulder, its physique expanding mid-air, transforming into a giant wolf that spewed fierce flames as it charged the opponent.

Wolf God Transformation!

But that wasn’t enough–

The giant wolf slammed with full force, diving into the flames and sending a figure wreathed in fiery blaze flying.

Boom!

Xiao Yurong collided with a tall building, falling to the ground, burned down to a heap of skeletons.

Yet, another figure descended from the sky.

A new Xiao Yurong!

Standing amidst the rain, she quietly gazed at the giant wolf and said:

“A brand-new sample… Worth a battle.”

The giant wolf let out a roaring growl and once more charged forward, opening its mouth to spew flames.

This time.

Xiao Yurong swiftly dodged.

She sidestepped and rushed forward, her whole body enveloped in a layer of frost, advancing directly toward the wolf.

“Die!”

Xiao Yurong’s hand resembled an ice lance, stabbing at the wolf’s heart.

The wolf abruptly opened its mouth to bite the hand.
