Chapter 1236: Independence and fairness
what happened?
Zhao Nan couldn't help but lower his head to ponder... The ninth only prototype... At the moment when the old and new eras alternate, will it grow into a complete indicator to all the right?
Literally, can the light ball in front of you be understood as the carrier of this indicator? But who is in the carrier?
The answer seems obvious...that is the only one of the Eighth Age.
But... logically speaking, at the moment when an era is born, the only one should exist... the ninth one?
That is to say, the "only" of the eighth era now should be the eighth one. The ball of light in front of you will be the eighth only carrier. If this is the case, then at the beginning of the Eighth Era, there should also be the same ball of light, as the last Era of the Eighth Era, the Seventh Era...the seventh only carrier.
It's right to think like this... But in this case, there is still something wrong-the only thing that should appear at the same time as the new era.
Is it because the Eighth Age has not been completely destroyed?
Alice once said that the collapse of the Eighth Age this time is much slower than any previous time-this slowed down process is because the eighth is the only one in the first and third clones. Under the joint efforts, the sealed relationship...
"But it's strange. It stands to reason that after I finished shaping the beginning of the Ninth Era, I could have completed growth. Why is it still in this state after such a long time? You are a person from the Eighth Era, you should know Can I order something?"
The sound of the ball of light suddenly floated to Zhao Nan's ears.
It didn't seem to help to ask him about this kind of thing... Even, as the only carrier of the ninth, this ball of light would actually ask this kind of question, which made Zhao Nan greatly surprised. However, if you think about it carefully, if this ball of light is not included in the eighth only, if it is just a naive consciousness-under the premise that nothing is clear, it will only ask... if you ask, you think it can be answered. Object.
Zhao Nan from the Eighth Age seemed to be an object of inquiry in this light ball's thinking.
Zhao Nan suddenly raised her head...because of the question of this light ball. The doubt in my mind was solved instantly: By the way, if the transition between the old and the new era cannot be completed in an instant, it is necessary to have a process. If the Eighth Age came to its end, then the Ninth Age should have begun to shape before it was completely destroyed. In this process of shaping, it is also the only process of the previous epoch, injecting little by little into the carrier of the next epoch.
Then, at the moment when the old era is destroyed, a new era can be born. And the whole process of becoming a complete indicator.
Obviously, because the eighth was the only one who received a short-term seal, the process of this conversion was temporarily interrupted-the light ball in front of him also retained a little immature consciousness, and in this era, he had nothing to do.
"If you think about it this way, it seems that everything can be straightened out...?" Zhao Nan looked at the light ball in front of him, and the stars in his eyes began to flicker again.
It seems to feel the complex emotions in these eyes. The light ball stepped back slightly, "I felt something bad for me from you. You can let go of your thinking, let me feel what you are thinking? Just like them."
They—probably refer to everything in this station.
It seems that the light ball can directly communicate with Zhao Nan because of the assimilation of the troops in these garrisons, as well as the consciousness of the empress and others. In fact, the light ball probably wanted to directly assimilate Zhao Nan from the beginning. Consciousness, get what you want to know.
It will not feel that there is anything wrong with this behavior-because it can easily do so. At the same time, no one would ever tell it what was wrong with this behavior.
Everything... the entire epoch was constructed by it. It exists as a creator and is the master of all phenomena. As a master, you don’t need to ask for the opinions of your own private property.
However, he suddenly ran into a... creature who could resist his assimilation. For it, this situation has never happened, so it feels scared.
At this time, even if it is the ruler of this ninth era, because things beyond the scope of its understanding, it will still feel panic.
This carrier...
It seems to be slowly moving away from him.
This time away, perhaps he will never appear in front of Zhao Nan again-for this new consciousness, once a fear appears in his heart, he will hide forever.
Zhao Nan has a feeling that he can't leave people with this ball of light just like that-a premonition from overlapping divine will. But for what it is, it is not clear at this time.
It stands to reason that I need to stay away from this guy-this is the only carrier of the Ninth Age, and I am afraid that it will be the core of the Ninth Age in the future, similar to things like the Origin Network of the Eighth Age. Facing it is equivalent to facing the entire Ninth Era. The reason why Zhao Nan felt the extremely uncomfortable heaviness, his heart was beating wildly, was for this reason.
"You... come back first, I have something to ask you."
"When I think about it now, I am not obligated to answer the creatures from the last era. I shouldn't even contact you. You make me feel dangerous."
It's a nascent consciousness, and he didn't even intend to conceal the thoughts in his heart-but it seemed better. Zhao Nan took a deep breath and let the starlight in his eyes slowly dissipate, no longer in a defensive posture all over, trying to make this ball of light lower his guard against him, "How are you now?"
"It seems... a little better, but I should still not be close to you."
Sure enough, it was defenseless.
Zhao Nan made herself more peaceful-but this ball of light was far smarter than he had imagined, or it was willful. Once its alertness is lowered, it begins to try to assimilate its own thoughts.
Perhaps for it, things that cannot be assimilated are untrustworthy-it needs to thoroughly understand all the thoughts of a creature before it can be sure that the other party cannot threaten itself.
"What...what's your name?" Zhao Nan asked suddenly.
"I? I don't have a name. Why do I need a name?" Guangqiu curiously asked: "As long as the epoch is over, I will disappear. There is no difference whether there is a name or not."
Zhao Nan tucked his eyebrows: "Disappeared? Are you willing to disappear?"
"Reconciled? Why not reconciled? I was born to accept the indicators of the previous era. If I can't complete this task, I shouldn't be there."
"But you know how to think."
"Because I need to manage the operation of the new era, before the indicator arrives. So I need a little ability to think."
"If you know how to think, you are independent...you are independent."
"Independence?"
The sound of the ball of light suddenly became a little softer-independent, independent. Independent, independent, independent, independent, independent, independent, independent...
It kept repeating these two words, seemingly without the slightest consciousness - but in Zhao Nan's eyes, the body of the light ball at this time was constantly shrinking. As it shrinks, the light released is constantly changing.
It is so unprepared that this change in appearance can easily be seen by people, and this is also a change in its thinking.
"Do I need to be independent?"
Perhaps for the first time, Photosphere expressed confusion about this question. This is the effect Zhao Nan needs-in fact, he is not sure that such an approach can be feasible. And also holding the mentality of giving it a try. At the same time, in order to be able to buy more time to think about the current situation.
Now it is not dangerous, this ball of light will leave because of fear at any time. And Zhao Nan can also return to the Eighth Age through the crack at any time. But under this not dangerous situation, it was an extremely important meeting!
He met with the indicator carrier of the Ninth Age-this is probably something that was not encountered in the first and third clones of the paradise 27,000 years ago.
Zhao Nan even had a bold guess as to whether if the only carrier of the Eighth Age lost the Ninth Age, it would not be a complete indicator in the Ninth Age... it would not be like in the Eighth Age. Is powerful.
"Don't you need to be independent?"
This is a guy who can think for himself, since he can think for himself. Then giving a rhetorical question seems to be the best answer. Zhao Nan tried to be able to guide this nascent consciousness to a state that was the only opposition to the eighth era.
Even if there is no opposition, as long as there is a slight disagreement, what is gained. It is definitely much larger than imagined.
Independent, independent, independent, independent, independent, independent...
The ball of light fell into the same repetition once again-the ball of light caught in this dead end seemed to easily ignore the things around it. For example, it hasn't really noticed a slight change on Zhao Nan's face now.
There is a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, expecting that the ball of light can continue to magnify this contradiction according to the current state-anyway, the complete indicator of the eighth era is now in a sealed state, Zhao Nan feels that he is at this time You can really counter the ball of light without fear.
"But...what is independence? We shouldn't be independent. Only collective consciousness and collective decisions are the most correct choices."
US?
Zhao Nan's expression was startled, he wasn't sure what this so-called we were referring to... Is it the complete and unique one of the eighth era in particular, or whether there is something else.
"If you want to think that way, I have nothing to say." Zhao Nan shrugged and said: "I just think that you finally gave birth to your own consciousness, but you can't maintain it for long, and you can't even feel this brand new. The changes created in the Ninth Age cannot witness the brilliant civilization that will be born from this change in the future... Everything is only because you are just a carrier. Because you are a carrier, you have no way to feel these. But in fact, the New Era Almost all of your creation is due to your credit. Think about this state, you have paid countless, in the end, your own consciousness still needs to die, waiting for the complete indicators of the previous era to get, and receive all the results... Everything here, primitive humans, dinosaurs, and even a humble little living grass will not remember you, let alone know you. Do you think it's fair to this?"
A certain balance seemed to accompany Zhao Nan's words, and began to tilt in the light ball's thoughts-under the premise that the light ball could not communicate with the complete indicators of the previous era, the limited and monotonous thoughts of the light ball did not even know. How to continue thinking.
At first, it only had a few simple behavior patterns, that is, trying to make everything in this new era perfect. However, because it has been too long to get more instructions from the complete indicators of the previous era, it can only maintain its current state and cannot change.
Every day, it gives birth to "the idea that it seems not to be a good idea to continue like this"-because of the emergence of this kind of idea, more and more problems are gradually generated within this simple consciousness.
Before Zhao Nan arrived, that is, after the Shadow Empire’s troops were stationed here, it had been silently observing-until today, an uncontrollable urge to show it in front of everyone and directly assimilate it. The consciousness of everyone here.
But before it had time to digest the information, it ran into a strange guy who couldn't assimilate.
He asked himself two questions.
Do you feel independent?
Do you think this is fair?
In its thinking, there is no way to find the answer to the two questions-however, vaguely, it seems to feel that these two questions have caused a very uncoordinated feeling in its thoughts.
It is difficult for it to understand what this incoordination is, but this incoordination makes it start to fear-fear, it actually felt this strange emotion-before this show, it was only from those primitive humans When faced with a huge dinosaur and can't beat it, I will see this emotion.
What are you afraid of... fearing that everything the other party says will happen?
"This era...is very beautiful."
After a long time, the ball of light suddenly stood still, but its voice became clearer than before: "It's really beautiful. I spent a lot of thought. The only time I couldn't connect with me in the eighth. In, I keep perfecting it... it's really beautiful, it's beautiful..."
"Yes, any complete era has incomparable beauty." Zhao Nan nodded and said: "What's more, it is still shaped by you, just like your child. However, when the old and new eras At the time of the change, you have to disappear and give your child to someone else. In the end... your child will never know your existence. How sad are you?"
"My, my, my, my... my child!" Suddenly, "I don't want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The world instantly screamed, and the sky fell apart.
The sphere of light suddenly swelled and became extremely huge, but it was rushing towards Zhao Nan...
