I apologize for not releasing the update schedule in advance this week and for not implementing the last arrangement. Because the choices mentioned in the previous work took place, I spent a few days dealing with the changes that those choices brought to the world. The chapter itself is brought out by the reader's choice, otherwise it would have been the first chapter.

Please enjoy

--------------------------------------------------- body dividing line-----------------------------------------

Nearly 72 hours have passed, but the sky over this part of the Amazon is still light brown, which makes the survivors wonder if this is the new dust kicked up by the rescue work, or whether the individuals who have just been deprived of their lives are still unable to understand and accept their own death, so they have been stranded for a long time.

With the assistance of the construction machinery that was originally used for the maintenance of the rail elevator base station, the remains of the fallen MS and the elevator debris were removed piece by piece, and the remains of the living and the dead were transported out. The tragic situation of the wounded in the nearby town hospital gives the illusion that it is actually a field hospital. The remnants of machinery and humanity were stacked into a plain of bones, the screams of the wounded, the cries of the missing, all shrouded in a brown dust that looked like a powder of dried blood.

In the town hospital where the seriously wounded had already lined up in the corridor, one of the surviving federal military doctors looked at the report handed by a town hospital doctor who had temporarily taken up his assistant, pressed his thumb his temple, and spoke:

"Burns all over the body, severe infection, okay... Is this guy's whole body still intact? I guess it's gone。。。。。 It's rotten all over the body, wait, the inner wall of the blood vessels is damaged?! How could he damage the lining of the blood vessels?! In such a situation, he held out for almost two days?! ”

"We ... We don't know, that's what the scan turned out to be. The doctor, exhausted by hours of high-intensity, non-stop rescue work, shook his head.

"Found next to an MS wreck," the federal medic muttered as he looked at the report, "the fibrous fragments on the skin are pilot's suits。。。。。。 Well, put him in the second intensive care area, and the rest will be left to fate. ”

"Ugh." The original doctor at the town hospital nodded helplessly and left.

The human body, which was covered with pitch-black charred skin and occasional oozing blood, was quickly transported to the designated area, and no one noticed that under the surface of the lava purgatory-like body near the heart, under a piece of charred black and blood, a ring-shaped metal body that had been combined with flesh and blood was emitting a faint green light, and the green light followed the weak beating of the heart, along the blood network network, and "flowed" to all parts of the body under the cover of the charred skin。。。。。。。。。

This little episode is quickly drowned out in the world of the busy living, but outside of the world of the living, a place filled with light, Arlando. Bakina watched everything silently. Arlando, who looked at the world from a realm unknown to the living today, saw the wailing of the wounded, the joy of survival, and the confusion of the future. He watched, watched, and suddenly froze in a scene:

A dark-skinned girl in a hospital gown volunteered to help understaffed nurses care for patients, but because her injuries were not healed, she was in her care, and she fell asleep next to a patient who was not completely out of danger... The patient who was placed in a noisy corner of the hospital suddenly moaned and trembled, but was not noticed by the caregivers falling into a coma and the hectic and noisy environment around them...

The moans and trembling had subsided, and Arlando could see a faint light drifting out of the body.

[Did irresponsible kindness kill others] Allando, who suddenly realized this as he looked at the things in front of him, felt that his only remaining existence trembled.

"You think you're just prolonging hell, aren't you?" Such thoughts came from the fluctuating sea of light, and Arlando found that a whirlpool of light had been blown into the ocean of light, and the swirling light finally condensed into a familiar figure.

[I am indeed dead, so I have come here to meet you?] Looking at Haman, whose whole body was burning like a flame of light, Guo Zhouyi slowly floated over.

[I have never experienced death, and I will not taste death now, and neither will you, I love]

So what are we, what are we, where are we... 】

[We, in this world, in a part of this world that you and I can't reach before, this ocean is too vast, and the light before you is too weak, so it took me a while to find you... You're troubled, I love. Haman fluttered like a phoenix by his lover's side

[Look around, look at the example just now, irresponsible kindness kills people, what did I do, I was encouraged by those crazes, what did I do... Miracles, some people are calling it that now, but what has changed after that momentary craze has passed? The earth is still losing energy, losing its military power, losing the universe, and then the whole planet, the people I saved who didn't die from falling from the elevator are going to go through hell like everyone else on earth, aren't they? And I may have prolonged the time of hell, stirred up by the heat of the moment, my irresponsible goodwill ... 】

[No responsibility, you gave the world a chance]

[What do you mean by giving the world a chance?! Is it just that the surface of the earth has not been destroyed by debris!! 】

[No, hundreds of millions of people have died]

[Have I prevented hundreds of millions of people from direct death? . . . So I've been ... 】

[Follow me, I will answer your doubts, this is the reason why you and I pay a huge price to meet here]

Conveying this thought, Harman clings to Arlando like a bird returning to the forest, and the two of them entangle like a spiral curve in a human body, and finally turn into the first life born in the ocean, crossing the narrow moment and plunging into the river of countless memories and swimming upstream.

[For us, this world has a time difference of 35,000 years; For us, we are not us; For us, until we reach this state ... We all live in darkness and we want to be ... The last thoughts of countless individuals who have retained or have retained their consciousness speak to Arlando and Haman:

。。。

。。。

。。。

Tens of thousands of years ago, there was once a civilization on this planet.

Life leaps out of the sea, struggles to survive on land, and gradually stops adapting to nature but allows nature to change to suit them. They work, they think, they create, they destroy---- all in the name of progress, and they call themselves "humans." So, progress continues, whether through the labor of the Maker or through the contemplative meditation, both mentally and physically.

However, they hit a barrier, the barrier between light and space--- they could not exceed the speed of light and could not cross space, and they were all in the narrow star system where the parent star was located, and they gradually devoured everything and finally perished. They learned about solar energy, they learned about food synthesis, they learned about nanotechnology, but in the end, they struggled to die on their home planet, Earth...

In the last twilight of that civilization, the humans of that era had a discovery, their final gospel: beneath the ice of the moon Callisto, there were minerals that could help them cross the space barrier.

However, it was already too late, and the data and samples that came back with the last spaceship were no longer able to support the humans of that era to cross the barrier, just like the ship that could not return to Earth.

Tracing their history a few years ago, looking back at the attrition caused by disagreements and strife, tormented by barriers that could have been crossed early by the efforts of the whole group, and looking at the disillusioned gospel before their eyes, a part of humanity had a thought: the root of everything is the spiritual structure of human beings--- too scattered to understand others, too fragile to overcome difficulties, too narrow to forgive others。。。。。。

So, on a planet that was divided even in the final twilight, these people began their research, guarded by those who had finally begun to unite for the future of humanity together. Then, under the impetus of the combined efforts, they soon had the result: deep under the flow of electrical signals in the cerebral cortex, at the quantum level, the human brain usually condenses a [system] composed of quantum pipes; This system does not directly control people's perception of the world, but it makes each individual different, and this system determines the final outcome ...

If it is said: the appearance of the world presented in front of the five senses of the person + the world view and the method of processing information = conclusion and code of action

Then the arithmetic system at this quantum level is the equal sign, and if the rules in the equal sign change, 1+1 is not necessarily equal to 2.

Like the source code of a computer system, this quantum system is hidden beneath the surface program and determines everything.

They call it Human Source.

They call it ---- soul.

They believe that if this quantum computing system can be parsed and modified, human beings may become different: no more selfishness, no more suspicion, no more apathy, no more fear, no more hesitation...

However, they soon discovered that with the technology they had at the time, they simply could not rewrite that system.

However, they soon discovered that when the vast majority of people died, the system would disintegrate and release the Soul Memory, which they believed was the World of Dying Experience and the cause of it; They also found that the system would last for a short period of time before dissipating and releasing the Soul Memory information for reasons and in ways they could not understand--- during which the system released fragments containing algorithmic rules that could be captured by quantum computers.

They have captured this information and stored it, just as they expected, and it contains the source of selflessness, the root of selfishness, the seeds of hatred that germinate, and the rhizomes that hope grows ...

They found the roots.

But if no one dies, they can't continue to collect data for analysis, and they can't achieve their ultimate goal.

So, a large part of humanity has banded together to direct those who still cling to their differences and fight each other for the last bit of resource in the apocalypse to war and death--- planet can have fewer devourers and more data. But they soon found that this was not the case, and no matter how they were eliminated, such people would still spring out, and they themselves became more and more suspicious of their original intentions.

That has to stop.

They need another way out... But they searched for a long time and couldn't find it

Eventually, at the end of dusk, before the end of the silent end of the apocalypse, they completed the underground base of Mars and Jupiter's moons, where the last reserves of restarting human society were stored: a gene bank, a seed bank, the technology to quickly [print] a town... But in the depths of Mars and the Moon, two huge databases have been created, which store the unfinished data of this project to reload the human soul, as well as some of the Watchmen who transferred their source programs and memories to the quantum database while they were alive.

After that, some humans went into cryo-dormancy in the depths of Mars; Some humans remain on Earth, convinced that they will be able to reign sustainably in the last days until the new dawn. But in the end, the latter, whether it was a surrealist who believed in the occult and [cultivation] or a realist who believed in the muzzle bullet, died in madness...

The planet is back to silence.

Then, over thousands of years, the planet healed itself and life revived.

During these long years, the watchmen observed, collected, until one day suddenly changed.

Even we have no way of knowing what exactly happened within the soul-inhabited core of quantum data, but on that day, an individual was born---- fear, intolerance, pity, anger, greed, and so on, the last things that people of the First Age tried to fix, were subdued in the soul source program of this individual.

The individual passed through an automatic judgment program set up by the Watchmen and the sleeping people, and this program scanned the soul program after determining the birth of a different human, and then activated the recovery plan that would only be activated after the judgment was passed.

On that day, a huge recovery plan was quietly launched in the solar system, and on that day, empires and emperors were born.

Under the leadership of the Perfect Individual, the Awakened Empire began their plans, and the Earth entered the next seven epochs of non-stop reincarnation, and the Empire was confident that they would accomplish their long-held plans---- which were no longer prayers or expectations, but plans and goals, and these must be achieved.

The Empire harvested most of the animals on the planet, produced nutrients and then used them to produce billions of human bodies, and instilled memories into them after they observed the formation of their own [soul program] of these bodies---- which was the memory of billions of people in the old era, an era when animals were scarce and planetary resources were scarce.

Everything is matched with precision.

However, the Empire secretly gave some of the basic technologies of materials engineering and magnetic monopole technology that they had calculated over the course of millennia to the humans they had created in that era, because they could technically help them speed up their entry into the universe; More importantly, there is a technology that can help the human brain communicate directly with the help of quantum resonance driven by the deep quantum state soul program. As a result, humans in this era have discovered the Minovsky particle and new human technology.

But they still only accomplished a little of the unfinished business of the Empire's ancestors--- formed the federal government, and beyond that, they still built huge humanoid machines that were in strife. The particle technology that was supposed to be the propulsion technology has become the vanguard of destruction, and the technology that should have brought people information sharing without delay and no barrier has given birth to a group of individuals who can manipulate killing weapons from a distance... Until the time of the cosmic century, they did not reach the goals set by the empire.

Destruction came, the empire pounced out of the darkness of the universe, systematically and meticulously destroyed everything in a hundred years, and then recycled the remaining population--- both dead and alive, and their flesh was turned back into basic nutrients, recreating the next era of humanity.

In the Second Age, the Empire handed over one of their cutting-edge materials technology and AI technology to create large numbers of machine workers to the humans of the Second Age. However, the humans of the Second Age made weapons out of materials, and used the technology that was supposed to be used to create robots that produced a lot of labor, and created killing dolls such as "mobile dolls".

In the Third Age, the Empire handed over their biological technology to humans. This technology is the cornerstone of everything, it will make people physically stronger, more long-lived, smarter, and most importantly, only humans who have undergone these adjustments can effectively use the Empire's thinking network. But the humans of this age have banished the Pioneers and started wars with them ...

This cycle is repeated seven times, each time the Empire is secretly teaching a key technology to the humans they have created, and each time, the Empire eventually destroys the world, turning the humans back into ... Ingredients.

[This is the eighth, and probably the last, we feel] Haman passed on to Arrando.

Why, why do they do it repeatedly, and what do they get?] 】

[Data, the data needed to parse the final program--- if you want to unload despair, you need despair data to parse; If you want to uninstall something, you need to parse the relevant information first. The seven cycles are not only the general data that are emitted when people die when these cycles run, but the end of each cycle is like the twilight of the ancestors of humanity and empire in the First Age--- despair, greed, madness... So... 】

【。。。。。。。。。 】

[And now, the seven cycles have actually appeared together, and the people of this world have been modified and customized with memories and intelligence that make them believe that they are thousands of years old, but their actual existence is only 20 years]

So, who are you。。。。。。 】

[When a person dies, the quantum algorithm program composed of countless quantum pipes will shatter, release the information in it, and return to the quantum ocean, this is the picture that the new humans see--- that is the soul memory of human beings; However, there are individual programs that can maintain structure for a period of time before returning to the chaotic quantum sea, such as new humans and augmented humans. We are the remnants of some of these particular individuals in these seven cycles.]

[Haman。。。。。。 】

[Some of our programs seem to have reached some of the standards of the Empire after leaving the body, so they were collected and stored by the Empire, and at the beginning of this cycle, some of these people's programs were cleansed of part of the soul memory information and then put back into the quantum sea, and these programs were quickly attached to the body that retained the corresponding genetic information in a principle that the Empire had not yet resolved. Harman. Karn is one of them]

[That's why I said I've never experienced death, I love, and now because of you and I won't experience death, after my separation this time, you protected my soul, and now, I was able to escape the capture of the empire and hide on the other side of the rainbow] Haman broke away from the whole and gently hugged Arrando.

[I。。。。。。。 Harman... I..... 】

[I know, but our time is running out, and even if we reach this state, time is still an insurmountable obstacle] Haman came with a gentle but slightly anxious thought.

[We have just given you the memory of the soul, which is different from the memory of the surface, and will not be easily detected by forces outside the empire; However, another purpose for us to find you is to convey one thing to you---- to stop the Empire's current plans]

[Why?] If they can truly make the human soul that ... 】

[Because the Empire's current methods will not succeed.] 】

[Why?] 】

[The reason is the same as Harman makes you proud of saving hundreds of millions of lives.] The Empire's research ---convinced them that the memory information scattered in the quantum sea of lost program structures, known as marquees, did not directly affect the soul of the program structure, just as computer program fragments would slow down the system, but would not rewrite the source program. But they were wrong, and these fragments affected the soul program, altering them slightly. This is why, in the time of the imperial ancestors, the first cultural explosion of the East and the West was similar in time, but then it was very different--- death, war, repression, these actions had a small impact on the most central equal, and then when the soul information was released, these small changes would affect the soul source program of the living people more invisibly---- which is the truth of the evolution of the human spirit that we have come to in these long years.

[So 。。。。。。?!] 】

[That's why this place is full of light--- because of the light in the human soul and the desire for light.] If, as we suspected, the Empire had planned to collect data one last time and then carry out its plan, disaster would have struck; If you don't save the lives of those 300 million people, disaster will strike. In addition to providing the empire with a large number of data streams to restart Haim's soul data core, these 300 million people will also explosively inject a large number of negative memories into the human soul sea at one time. The sea of souls, maintained by the ancient balance of good and evil, good and ugly, and gradually improving towards one end, will gradually affect their database and all souls in a way that the Empire deems impossible, a process that changes a string of data from 0.00004909 to 0. The process of 00004910 may seem insignificant, but the deviation of the final calculation results can be catastrophic... 】

【。。。。。。。。。。。 】

[You saved 300 million lives and gave the world a chance, but if the Empire is able to fully carry out its plan, this will still happen, and the real night of humanity will fall, and you must stop the Empire]

【。。。 Why me... 】

You are not the only one entrusted with a mission. 】

Why did you choose me? 】

[Not only did you give Haman love, trust and expectation, but in her last moments, you affirmed her death, which gave her a new lease of life after she had lost a key link in the soul process since she was captured and stored by the Empire, allowing her to reunite with us and make up for our collective shortcomings, so you were also changed]

What is the key 。。。。。。? 】

[All life should come to an end]

【。。。。。。。。 Is it so ... 】

[We don't have much time, the longer you synchronize information with us, your soul program will accelerate to be assimilated by us, and once you are completely assimilated, you will be trapped in this world where you can't come and shouldn't come now]

[Wait, I'm still ... 】

[Stop the Empire, stop the eternal night of humanity, the soul born freely from the quantum soul sea, our hope, our soul descendant, Arlando.] Bakina! 】

"Come back to our world, my love! And then engraved in the soul --- when we will finally meet again! Go ahead!!! 】

"Huh。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。" Arlando, whose scorch marks had not yet completely receded, let out a long, inhaling hiss from his throat.

"God must love you, my God, you're really alive!!" In Arlando's blurred vision, a figure shouted.
