Matter is the physical objects and fields that make up all objects in the universe. The sky and the earth, the air and the water, the food and the cotton, the coal and the oil, the steel and the copper, as well as the various synthetic fibers, plastics, etc., they are all substances.

It is an immutable truth that the world is made of matter.

But the world broke that theorem.

The scientists of this world also believe that this is a world made of matter, but after Yemu turned on his own power, the whole world changed. The theories of those scientists are wrapped in data, so that they think they have interpreted the world, but in fact they are only making wrong judgments under the guidance of the matrix.

This world is not made of matter, it is a world made of data.

The physical objects and fields of all objects in the universe. The sky and the earth, the air and the water, the food and the cotton, the coal and the oil, the steel and the copper, and the various synthetic fibers, plastics, etc., they are all data.

The power that exists in the matrix determines the degree, size, and scope of the data.

This is no less than a reorganization of the worldview of cognition in the brain. So what exactly is data?

What will emerge beyond this world of data?

Is it the world made of matter?

Or are we just virtual beings in a tiny hard drive in that world?

What is Virtual? What is real?

I'll find out soon.

Ye Mu reached out like a god, and the huge sphere wrapped in layers of steel disintegrated in an instant, revealing the girl who looked exactly like himself inside.

Nightfall sensed the two powers that existed in her at the same time, and her crazy face showed a deep unwillingness.

"I've been preparing to interpret this world for decades, even going through parallel universes, going back in time to lay it all out."

In the face of Ye Mu, who has two powers, Luo Ye is powerless to resist.

Ye Mu looked at her coldly, and the heavy blade pressed against his shoulder.

"But I still failed...... I was ...... by another self."

Green eyes flickered as he stared at Ye Mu, one hand tightly gripping the blade of defiance.

"The Ultimate Brain ...... The matrix cannot be trusted. ”

Layers of her armor opened, revealing the green-glowing device inside.

In Ye Mu's eyes, it was a dark green code, and two brighter strings of codes surrounded the package.

Zero Count and the Code of the Data Lord.

"Yemu...... We were all Ye Mu, and deep down in our hearts, we all know what kind of people we are......"

"Our stubbornness, intellectual curiosity drives us all......"

"But the only thing I can put my trust on right now ...... It's the only ...... left in the depths of your brain."

"Compassion."

Boom......

Ye Mu Meng then took a step back.

"Counting on my compassion?"

"No, Gouna, you're wrong."

"You think you know every night's heart, but did I ever count on your compassion the moment you wanted to kill me?"

"We're all nights, but only one thing different......"

A strong wind struck, and the lightning flickered, and the chest of the falling night was a mess, emitting black smoke intertwined with lightning.

Falling Night lifted its head that was beginning to dissipate, and looked at the green brilliance in Ye Mu's hand, which was crushed in the closed five fingers, and turned into the last power into her body.

"I'm not Gona."

……

When a hurricane hangs in the clear sky.

When the dark clouds hit again.

They were torn apart by a bright light.

It was a deep, bright red, like a hole in the sky.

Lightning and scarlet spread across the sky, and the wind blew steel into the sky, and under the howling wind and rolling thunder, Yemu saw the big hole.

"You've succeeded, Yemu."

A voice came from behind him. Yemu, who was wrapped in crimson plasma, clenched her fists as she looked between her closed fingers.

"I have gained the power of the Four Pillars God, and I have become the ultimate."

"I'm going to open the matrix and witness the world beyond the data."

"This will solve all the doubts I had since I came into this world—the hallucinations that have plagued me with neural backtracking, that exist deep in my electronic brain...... Unreal ...... in a trance"

She turned around and saw the face that appeared in the matrix.

"Yes, Heigong Sheng, I succeeded."

Heigong Sheng, it should be called "center" now.

"You stopped the Four Pillars and took back the power of the Matrix. And now, there is only one loophole left. The center looked at Ye Mu silently, his eyes flashing with blue data.

"You...... It's the ultimate brain. ”

"That's right." Center nodded, "To travel back and forth between the matrix and outside the matrix, I must have a body like yours. ”

"This is Heigong Sheng."

"At that point, maybe I should have killed you directly." Ye Mu sneered, and the doomsday light reflected her cheeks.

"Then you killed Heigong Sheng as well." The center said expressionlessly.

"I still have a lot of questions. Why you? ”

"Kurogong Sheng is supposed to be the carrier of the ultimate brain. The center manages the matrix, and ultimately the brain, as the host matrix exists. That's the difference between a soul and a body. ”

"I, these people, and Hei Gong Sheng...... What exactly are we? Ye Mu looked at his hands, which were just a dense pile of data carriers.

The center was silent for a moment, then spoke, "You are all real. ”

"Heigong Sheng once told you the secret that belongs to her - she comes from the future."

"Actually, you all come from the 'future', or the material world. You already have enough permission to know these things. ”

"Outside of the matrix, this place is called the 'Pure Land'."

"It's a utopia of the material world, and people of all kinds have built a common 'dream'."

"Heigong Sheng is the ultimate brain, she still retains her own memory, but it is a memory with changes."

I'm afraid that when you know the truth, you'll despair.

The words of the night resurfaced in Ye Mu's mind.

Maybe at that time, the night already knew what the world really looked like, but he was still searching for more answers.

"What's the point?" Ye Mu said coldly.

"This is what humans built to escape the world that is now."

Future, escape from reality, hide back in the past, get drunk and dream of death.

"So, are you going to break your promise now and kill me for this last loophole?"

The center was silent, and she gave Ye Mu a deep look.

"No, I'll make good on my promise."

"You're going to be out of the matrix, out of the world of data."

"In the same way, the authority you have will go back to mine."

"What about the fate of the others?"

"They are still in their dreams and do not want to wake up. After you're gone, I'll reboot the entire matrix. ”

"The world will go back to the moment it used to be, and start anew."

"That's the designer's philosophy."

Yemu was silent.

"I want to see the world over there first."

"Yes."

Hei Gongsheng appeared in front of Ye Mu, and his cold little hand was on the top of her forehead.

……

Intelligence, machinery, warfare, humans.

Legions clad in mechanical armor, their opponents are constantly erupting with blood under the bombardment of pulsing ammunition.

The cannon roared in front of him, and the crimson blood volatilized in the atmosphere, turning into a blood-colored dark cloud.

She saw an endless array of codes forming a blue body. She radiated light and walked through the battlefield full of artillery fire. The flags of the nations kept falling, and the carpet was red with blood, and she came to the end.

Behind her were countless prostrategists, their heads locked to the ground in shackles, like conquered slaves.

The image shattered, and countless humans poured into the underground structure, their faces numb, and they entered the coffin-like dormant chambers, and the doctor in a white lab coat appeared in the center, and he pressed a blue button.

Finally, Yemu saw his face.

It was Dr. Qin Shou's face, pain, sadness, and relief.

Ye Mu suddenly opened his eyes, clutched his chest and breathed in the air, the cold, white little hand had receded from his eyes.

"Human ...... was ruled. ”

Looking at Ye Mu, who was muttering, Hei Gongsheng was silent for a moment and said, "You have seen everything. ”

"It's time to go......"

Ye Mu grabbed Heigong Sheng's hand violently, and looked at her with scarlet eyes.

"Is that the real world? That's the answer I've been craving? ”

"That's right."

"For the people of that world, this world is all that is beautiful, and people can immerse themselves in the beautiful world before the war, and the world where human beings are still the rulers of this world. And the real world you crave is the most cruel purgatory. ”

Looking at the silent Ye Mu, the center was silent for a moment again, and then spoke again: "You have another choice - give me the authority again." Then ......"

"Continue to live in this world."

"Humanity has been defeated...... But hiding in a dream that can never be finished, lingering for a long time...... "Yemu regained her normal vision, she looked at her hands, and saw through her fingers the incomparably real ground steel.

"Here, even if you don't have strong authority, you are the most powerful combat force in this world."

"In the material world, you are still an ordinary person, what are you going to do in the face of the enslavement of artificial intelligence?"

"The matrix is about to restart, and you have five minutes left."

Ye Mu looked at the scarlet in the sky and was silent for a long time.

Do you want to continue this beautiful dream, or do you want to return to the purgatory-like reality?

Suddenly, Ye Mu smiled.

"I'm Yemu."

"But I'm not Guna."

"If all kinds of people make up this world, then where do the parallel worlds in the matrix come from?"

"If every Guna in the parallel world is a microcosm of Guna's consciousness in reality."

"So Yemu, what is it?"

"I didn't exist in this world from the beginning, so what was I when I went to the material world?"

The center looked at her quietly: "I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Of course you don't understand ......"

In an instant, the sound of breaking the air, contempt instantly pierced the chest in the center.

Her body became fluttering for a moment, staring at her chest in a daze.

"You ......"

"I said, I'm going to open the matrix."

"Heigong Sheng is dead, she will wake up in reality."

"And if you die, the matrix will collapse."

"It's time to wake up."
