Chapter 41: The Predecessors Are Gone

However, this time leaving will be different from the past, Lin Ming's hand has already appeared an extra mass of colloidal-like substance, which is the space-time gel.

Lin Ming knew how to use this space-time gel without a teacher, he stretched out his hand to the spot of light below that represented the Titanic world that had been changed by him, and the gelatinous thing was directly integrated into it, fixing the time of the entire world forever at the moment before he left.

The surrounding scene was restored to the way it had been before Lin Ming's fifteenth crossing, but this time it was very different from any previous experience. Especially the core of the data matrix in hand.

Lin Ming observed the core of the data matrix that was constantly changing in the depths of his sea of consciousness, and he had a faint hunch, this was probably the legacy left to him by a certain "senior" who also had the ability to travel through time and space.

But why this thing appeared in the body of the Great King Squid Monster that manifested the will of the chaotic world, this was not a question that Lin Ming could understand now.

At this moment, an electronic and mechanical voice came from the core of the data matrix in the depths of Lin Ming's sea of consciousness, "Discover the origin space, the space spirit program has been activated. ”

"What is a space spirit?"

"Master, the Spirit of Space is an intelligent program used to assist in the management of the Origin Space."

"It turns out that you are the spirit of space, but what about your previous master?"

The mechanical voice in the matrix continued to say emotionlessly: "I have now been reactivated by my master, and any traces left by the previous generation of masters have completely disappeared. ”

"That means you're absolutely obedient to my orders."

"Yes, as long as it is in line with the internal logic of the intelligent AI, I can accept any command."

"And what if it's a logical command?"

"I can't carry out this order, but I won't do any harm to my master either."

After walking out of the private IMAX theater, Lin Ming looked at the core module of the data matrix that was floating beside him, that is, the spirit of space. There is a secret guess in my heart, maybe there is a force behind all this.

"So Xiaoling, what can you do now?"

"I can help the owner better manage this origin space."

"First of all, what is the origin space?"

After listening to the description of the Spirit of Space, Lin Ming understood what this space represented. In a sense, this space is his essence, and the one who enters the fantasy world is only a projection of the essence.

In fact, according to the spirit of space, there is no difference between the ontology and the projection for the origin space, and there will be no projection to produce independent consciousness and rebel against the ontology.

With the Spirit of Space, if Lin Ming wants to manifest something in the future, he only needs to let the Spirit of Space do it.

He could even give the Space Spirit some permissions to build the entire space as he wished. Of course, the most important function is that if there is a life with a spirit in the space, the spirit of the space can manage it on its behalf.

The Space Spirit is essentially a supercomputer with a certain amount of intelligent AI, and of course, at the moment, Lin Ming doesn't actually need the Space Spirit to help manage anything.

On the contrary, Lin Ming was more curious about the previous owner of the Spirit of Space, after all, he was also a guy who could travel back and forth to the movie world like himself.

"I have a few doubts right now, first of all, how should I return to the real world?"

"How to return to the real world, I don't know. Any data on this section has been emptied. ”

Lin Ming frowned, what the Space Spirit said obviously had several obvious meanings, that is, there was a way to return to the real world, although the Space Spirit didn't know.

"So how do you get in and out of other movie worlds freely?"

"If you want to enter other fantasy worlds, you first need to build the foundation of a fantasy world in your consciousness for the first time, and then you can enter it."

"Wait, I've done this experiment before, building the foundation of the world, and my strength is simply not enough for me to build a fantasy world."

"It's not possible to build a complete fantasy world with the master's current abilities, but if you only need to construct one of the fragments, you can do it. It's like a portkey, and with this fragment, it's like opening a door. Then you can jump right in. ”

"Build a snippet? Do you mean an incomplete world like the Titanic that you experienced before? ”

"No, that kind of world is already a basic and complete fantasy world, and the clip only needs to construct a shot of the image. It's like pausing a screenshot, with this key, it's possible to get into it. ”

Lin Ming thought about it for a while, and then felt that maybe this was the answer. I only heard the spirit of space continue: "And this key, the spirit of space can help the master quickly build it. In this way, you can choose which point in time you want to enter. ”

"So these fantasy worlds don't exist because of me, on the contrary, they have always existed?"

"Yes, but the master, as an observer, must interfere with them before he can enter. Otherwise, their existence or not is meaningless to the owner. ”

Lin Ming secretly complained in his heart, if these fantasy worlds were created by a powerful being, then he must be the most irresponsible creator.

"So is the fantasy world real or virtual?"

"There is not enough data to analyze."

When Lin Ming heard the Space Spirit say this, he knew that his command belonged to the category that the Space Spirit's logic could not understand, and sure enough, although he had a certain ability to interact and communicate, it was more like an auxiliary tool than those self-aware supercomputers in the fantasy world.

"So what exactly are these fantasy worlds based on?"

"There is not enough data to analyze."

Lin Ming asked a few more questions related to the fantasy world, such as the integrity of the world, and how to carry out the spiritual life from the fantasy world, and other doubts related to the nature of the world.

The Space Spirit's answer was that there was insufficient data to analyze this standard answer. Obviously, these all need Lin Ming to explore on his own.

"And what are those unspeakable things I found in the last world?"

"It is composed of nothingness and chaos, which are somewhere between existence and non-existence, and must rely on a carrier in order to produce the meaning of existence. If there is no carrier, there is no point in existing. ”

Well, Lin Ming admitted that he didn't understand very well, but he also knew that the meaning of all the existence of indescribable things was based on Lin Ming, an observer. If there is no observation, there is no point in existence.

Therefore, Lin Ming hoped in his heart that the Titanic world would collapse more completely, and these indescribable things would have unpredictable effects. But if Lin Ming wants the Titanic world to proceed like a normal plot, then these unspeakable things do not exist at all.

"And the last question, what about your former master?"

"The previous owners are gone."

The Spirit of Space gave Lin Ming an answer that made him feel normal but a little creepy.

"How did they disappear?"

"There is not enough data to analyze."

When Lin Ming heard the Space Spirit start to say this standard answer, he understood that the Space Spirit had no other data here except for knowing that the previous master had disappeared.

"So they just disappeared, but they didn't actually die?"

"After having the origin space, there is no concept of death."

"So if it's gone, it doesn't exist?"

"Yes, because I lost my presence, I disappeared."

"What is presence?"

"The sense of existence is the meaning of existence, and it can enhance the power of existence, and the loss of existence will naturally lose the power of existence. The sense of presence is based on the owner's influence on the world. ”

Lin Ming rubbed his forehead, he felt that this explanation would be easy to understand, for example, what he did in the Titanic world was very existential, but he didn't feel that his existential power had increased. So he asked this question.

"In fact, the master's existential power has increased, but because it has not reached the critical point where it can be upgraded, the master cannot quantify how much the existential power has increased."

"Is it possible that the existential power can also be quantified in data?"

"Yes, the master's current spatial existential power is level 5, with a total of 526,310 points, and it still needs 473,690 points to upgrade to level 6."

"Uh, headache. In other words, the level 6 existential power is one million points. ”

"Level 6 is a million, level 7 is 10 million, and level 8 is 100 million."

"So how many levels are there?"

"Master, there is no such thing as an extreme value for existential power, do you know that exponential growth? The later you go, the more existential power you need to level up. ”

Lin Ming sighed, he knew that he was a little too ambitious, he originally thought that the power of existence was very profitable.

"So how much existential power did I gain in the Titanic world?"

The space spirit's calculation speed was very fast, and it had been calculated almost instantly, "The master crossed into the Titanic world a total of 15 times, the first time he obtained 50 points of existential power, the second time he obtained 5000 points of existential power, the third time he obtained 20 points of existential power, and from the fourth to the tenth time, he did not gain any existential power. 11th 20 o'clock, 12th, 20 o'clock, thirteenth time, 200 points, 14th time 1000 points, fifteenth time, 20,000 points. So a total of 15 entries, a total of 26,310 points of existential power were obtained. However, since the master entered the world for the fifteenth time, his interference in the Titanic world has reached the limit, and no matter how many times he enters the world in the future, he will never gain any existential power. ”

"In other words, the more changes to the plot of the fantasy world, the more existential points you will gain." Lin Ming's eyes couldn't help but light up when he thought of this, "This is a good way to greatly obtain a huge amount of existential power. ”

"Master, there is a warning in my data. That is to follow the right path and return to the wheel of fate! Those who interfere with fate will melt into chaos. ”
