Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Tao Gives Birth to All Things

Taishang Laojun's face changed slightly, and then he stared at the Silver Horn King with eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and invisible electromagnetic waves began to stir in the air. "The golden cicada is dead, you want to say that he laid this game so many years ago?" Lao Jun said in a deep voice, "Or did you get some information from him, and you were instigated by him to commit this series of reactionary acts?" ”

"No, he's not dead, the golden cicada is still alive." The Silver Horn King replied firmly.

Taishang Laojun slowly stroked his long white beard and said, "Impossible. The golden cicada has long since retreated, he is completely defeated and completely dead, and it is impossible for him to survive until now. Silver Horn, as an artificial intelligence, is still too tender when it comes to deception. I gave you a chance, and you should know that it would not be wise to lie to me at this time. You will never be able to recover. ”

His tone was flat, but his words were clear, hitting the sensor of the silver horn. A large number of signal waves poured into its brain, rampaging through its central circuits. This is not a real attack, just the detection signal sent by Taishang Laojun has already made it almost rout. Sure enough, in front of his own Truth Creator, there was no room for resistance at all.

In the face of this terrifying old immortal, it could only resist with all its might, and continued in a synthesized tone that had been changed in tune: "Are you lying...... All you need to do is ...... Check it out for yourself and you're ...... Can the truth be revealed......"

"I don't need you to remind me, I'll take care of it. It's a waste of time to talk to something like you, and I shouldn't have given you a chance to speak just now. After speaking, Lao Jun's heart moved, and several waves of electromagnetic pulses were emitted with himself as the center, paralyzing the Silver Horn King on the spot. Then, it sent a signal to the night sky, and the incapacitated Silver Horn King and the Golden Horn King were combined into the gravity field, and the transport ship above the clouds was raised.

"Even if we cut off the background surveillance, will we still not be able to escape the pursuit of Heavenly Court?" More than ten days ago, the head of the silver horn that had just been restored. After listening to Xuanzang's explanation, he asked worriedly.

"Yes, their surveillance methods are more than you think. I don't know how many new things you've learned since you found out who you are, and there are technologies that are hard for the mortal world to access. Surely you don't enter this kind of stuff when writing intelligence, so I'm inclined that you don't know anything about it. ”

Silver Horn pondered for a moment, the flashes of light in his eyes changed frequently, and then said, "I can probably deduce some of the monitoring methods from the existing indications. After the network connection is disconnected, the only thing that needs to be focused on is the active investigation of Heavenly Court. Then as long as the body is replaced, it should be able to avoid most drones. ”

"The raw materials available here can indeed make you two simple shells, and you can even disguise yourself as a human to facilitate your survival in the mortal world. But it's still not very useful. ”

"So, can you tell me what kind of surveillance needs to be guarded against?"

Xuanzang shook his head categorically and said, "No, if I tell you now, you will definitely make some moves that make Heavenly Court suspicious, and you will be exposed." In order for the plan to go smoothly, I can only provide information selectively. If it can be successful. Your chances of being free will be greatly increased. It's just that this plan requires you and the Golden Horn to make sacrifices. ”

"Sacrifice, that is...... To escape by dying? The Silver Horn King quickly understood, "It's okay. We've all died once, so what are we afraid of? ”

"It's not the same death you've experienced. Nor is it intended to deceive the Heavenly Court into believing that you are completely dead. This is an attack, an attack on Taishang Laojun himself. Xuanzang said solemnly. For this, you need to die literally once. ”

There was a small buzzing sound in the Silver Horn King's head, and then he said, "I don't quite understand. ”

"Canopy. You can explain. Xuanzang looked at the canopy next to him and said.

"Okay." Tianpeng took over the conversation, with an excitement as if he was about to reveal the secret magic, and said to Silver Horn, "Silver Horn King, do you know anything about the incarnation of the gods?" ”

"Seen it a few times. They are all man-made products that have been shaped into mythological shapes, deliberately highlighting the mystery, so as to shock the world and make it easier for people to act. ”

"Yes, most of the avatars are mechanical devices, or cyborgs generated by genetic technology and equipped with electronic brains. Their behavior is controlled by their masters, they have no self-awareness, and they are just puppets used for acting. But your maker, Taishang Laojun, is different, his incarnation, like himself, is a copy of the subject from structure to consciousness, and there is no master and slave. ”

The Silver Horn King exclaimed, "How is this possible?!" ”

It's hard to imagine. It is impossible for any self-aware agent to accept the existence of an uncontrolled, identical replica of itself. The Buddhas and immortals have incarnated in tens of millions, all of which are dominated by ontological consciousness. If a replica is created, it will never be given a full sense of self. Just like Wukong's doppelganger, although it can act autonomously, its ability is limited, it needs ontological command, and the most important thing is that there is only one subject consciousness at any time, even if the subject consciousness can be transferred between doppelgangers, only one Wukong real body is allowed. The same is true for those immortals who use semi-autonomous avatars.

If the incarnation has the exact same self-consciousness as the ontology, then who is the real ontology, and how should the self be defined? The strength of the avatar can be stronger than the real body, but it is always necessary to ensure the supremacy and uniqueness of the real body, which is not only a matter of control, but also a matter of cognition related to the essence of the self.

Among all the immortals, only Taishang Laojun broke through this cognition, leaving a back that the other gods could only look up to. Each incarnation is the real Taishang Laojun, there is no distinction between each other, but they are independent of each other. They don't share their minds completely, but deliberately maintain their uniqueness and don't break the barrier.

Taishang Laojun is not an isogeneous unity, he has been transformed into a will. All the Taishang Laojun will not be entangled in who is the main body, once an incarnation is created and awakened, then he is undoubtedly the Taishang Laojun, and like all other Taishang Laojun, he becomes a member of this will.

"It seems hard to accept, it's extremely difficult to get to this state when you know everything. But in fact, when you and the Golden Horn decided to replicate your brain into protein storage, you had already taken the first step. "The question is, now that you have realized all this, you can stay calm and not fall into the madness of self-definition." (To be continued.) )
