"The trialist meets the criteria of the Akashya Primordial Agreement and is a candidate.

Enter the final ruling...."

As the voice in my head fell, it seemed to touch some mechanism, and the flow of energy and information circulating in the entire void space began to surge, decompose, and reorganize.

Around Xia Lian, seven humanoid phantoms gradually formed, they had different postures, some men and some women, but they couldn't see their appearances clearly, and their races seemed to be a little different, some of them were even three or four meters tall.

Some people wear armor, but some even drive mechs.

Their eyes were all focused on Xia Lian, and at the same time, a series of information streams poured out of him, connecting him with these eight people, and the brilliance formed by the information flow flowed around them.

The first giant spoke first.

"The candidate has the wisdom of foresight – recognition."

Then the rest of the people spoke after him.

"The candidate is not a desireless person – no."

"The candidate wielded the blade without hesitation - recognition."

"Candidates can have the courage to stand up to those who are stronger than themselves – recognition."

"Candidates are not fearless – no."

"Candidates have fairness in their hearts – recognition."

"Candidates are people who seek truth – recognition."

The voice in Xia Lian's head made a final summary after the seven people had ruled it.

"More than four people recognized, and the final ruling passed, and the candidate, Xia Lian, officially became the successor."

The voices of the seven came together, "Approval." ”

The flow of information poured out of their bodies, flowing into Xia Lian's body along their link with Xia Lian, and countless messages suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

He saw the humans of the blood-drinking period of Ru Mao fighting wild beasts with their first tools, and the gods that stood high above.

He saw the four ancient civilizations gradually taking root in this land, and saw the first industrial revolution, steam engines gushing steam and huge chimneys rising from the ground.

The scene in front of me is passing by rapidly, the second industrial revolution, the third industrial revolution, the fourth, human civilization is gradually prospering on the earth, and even, out of the stars.

The splendor of the entire history of mankind is displayed in his eyes.

But before Xia Lian could think about it, his connection with these people was all broken, and the seven people slowly disappeared in front of him.

Xia Lian came back to his senses and asked in a trance.

"What were those just now?"

"A ruling to determine whether you are qualified to be a successor."

"A successor for what?"

"Rational, protect the history of mankind and continue the future."

Xia Lian raised his eyebrows and teased, "It doesn't sound like a reward." ”

"As a reasoner, you are free to travel through the history of humanity before the anchor of time and space in which you live."

Xia Lian said, "From the perspective of the material worldview, time itself does not exist, it is an abstract concept created by human beings to facilitate the understanding of the universe. ”

It is the physical concept of the three-dimensional world, time has no meaning in the universe, but human history exists because it has been "recorded" by Akasia. ”

"I don't understand it anymore." Xia Lian said.

"There is no need to understand these things, the cause and effect of the formation of the whole system is not something that any human being can understand, even if you have God-given wisdom now.

You just need to understand that you are free to travel through the past in the future, but only from the beginning of human history to the point of time and space where the anchor anchors you are.

You'll need to guard it, but in the vast majority of cases, it won't have any problems.

Next, I will reincarnate you to the end of human history, 12,000 years after the timeline in which you lived. ”

"The end?" Xia Lian seemed to realize something, "That is, the human race will perish after 12,000 years?" ”

"According to the normal trend, yes, the time error will not exceed a hundred years."

"Isn't it 49 years to join the national army when I was reincarnated there?"

"It is the duty of the Rationale to continue the history of mankind as much as possible, and your predecessor has continued human civilization for two thousand years."

"This kind of mission gets more difficult the further you go in the timeline, right?" Xia Lian said.

"The continuation of humanity in the Stone Age is completely different from the continuation of humanity in the interstellar age.

The Stone Age could have caused the destruction of humanity by natural disasters, wild beasts, or infectious diseases that could not be cured at that time.

The destruction of human civilization in modern times may be the outbreak of World War III, the washing of the earth by nuclear bombs, the inability to live on earth due to nuclear radiation, or the invasion of aliens.

12,000 years later, human beings may have already entered the interstellar age, walked out of the solar system, and began to colonize many planets, what can destroy this civilization?

Inside or outside? Smart machines? Undead? Or maybe it's the Zerg? ”

The voice was silent for a moment, "Nine thousand years after the point in time you lived, humanity has colonized many planets in the galaxy.

However, due to the extensive use of intelligent machines by humans and the continuous evolution of mechanical intelligence, artificial intelligence has broken through the logical limitations set by humans, and in turn overthrew the old government of mankind and established a new government ruled by AI.

This time is as long as 200 years, and in order to better rule mankind, AI has also carried out more than 100 years of cultural extinction, almost eliminating all the history of the cradle of the earth.

At that time, some humans had forgotten that the original humans were born on Earth, and took it for granted that AI ruled over humans.

But among humans, there are still some awakened people who are unwilling to put the fate of humanity in the absolute control of robots.

And so, the war began.

Due to the fact that almost all starships and weapons were intelligent at that time, in the early stage, the human resistance army that lacked key weapons was almost defeated, but fortunately, the universe was vast enough, so the battle line was also long enough for them to maneuver.

The Supreme Court of Justice, based on the growing rebel army, ruled that humans are creatures whose productivity is far inferior to that of machines that consume the same resources, and that the desire to self-destruct is strong, and that the source of chaos is the source of chaos.

Therefore, there was no need to exist, and an extermination order was issued.

But it is precisely because of this extermination decree that more and more humans have thrown themselves into the camp of rebellion against the mechanical government.

Due to the distance between the stars, the breadth of the war is infinitely extended and lasts longer than imagined.

The conflict between the two sides lasted for nearly a thousand years, and is known as the Kuhler Holy War.

Of course, the reason why the holy war is called the kuhler holy war is actually because of a young girl in a certain family.

Her name is Joan of Arc Kuller. ”

"The name is inexplicably slotted." Xia Lian said.

"She's your predecessor, a cultist." The voice continued.

Xia Lian nodded, "Naming the name of this saintess who ended the Hundred Years War between Britain and France should be in order to lead mankind to end this long-standing war like this saint."

Apparently, she succeeded. ”

"Under her leadership, and through sixty years of war, she reversed the fate of humanity that would eventually be destroyed, and lasted for two thousand years."

However, the thousand-year-old war has greatly damaged the vitality of mankind, the past human community has disappeared, and many colonized planets have lost their coordinates and cut off contact.

There are even planets where the level of civilization has regressed directly to the technological level of the 21st century.

And, after the war, Joan of Arc established the supreme law of mankind: "Thou shalt not make machines that reflect the consciousness of man." ”

That is, "the use of artificial intelligence is absolutely prohibited, and humans cannot be replaced." ”

Xia Lian frowned, "This is a bit overkill, right?" Artificial intelligence is a creation of human beings, and since it is a creation, there must be a way for it to grow according to its own ideas and prevent rebellion. ”

"Whether it was overkill or whether it was prescient or not, then only history can judge.

The amount of data generated by humans and computers is far beyond the capacity of human biology to absorb, interpret and make complex decisions.

Artificial intelligence forms the basis of all computer learning, represents the future of all complex decisions, and represents the foundation of almost all key technologies after humanity enters the information age.

Putting an end to artificial intelligence means putting an end to the development of information and computers, which has set human civilization back thousands of years.

It has directly affected all aspects of human life, including long-distance interstellar voyages.

And at this time, the human race is much weaker than the previous human race.

The enemies you face may not be as powerful as the Wisdom Legion. ”

"What you say makes me feel like an old general on the stage." Xia Lian said helplessly, "Should I cooperate with you to go back to my hometown to get married after the task is completed?" ”

"If you don't want to carry out this task now, you can find a random historical node to live, and the reason why you are reincarnated into the future is only to set a time anchor for you, so that you can have the cornerstone of existence.

Of course, you need to be careful not to interfere with the course of history, which would threaten the stability of the entire timeline.

Because you don't belong to the plane that preceded that plane anchor.

So, in these histories, you are immortal, your lifespan will not increase in any way, and even if you commit suicide, it will only be a return to the point in time where the space-time anchor is. ”

"In other words, I now have two choices, to live forever in this cycle of tens of thousands of years of human history, or to complete this task?"

"Yes, the longer you have to settle down, the more successful you will be in completing this task.

Oh, by the way, you have God-given wisdom, and it doesn't really make a difference. ”

Xia Lian was silent, he could understand the meaning of the voice, eternal life is a great temptation for many people, but no one likes things that are always the same.

Tens of thousands of years of human history is very long, but no matter how long it is, there is an end, and at the end of that time and space, what awaits him may be endless cycles and loneliness, parting and sadness.

In other words, there should be no one who is not afraid that at the end of those endless years, they will finally choose to end their lives one day.

Of course, for any human being, it is a great blessing to be able to travel through history, to be able to witness countless epics and landscapes, and to have an eternal life as long as you think.

This guy is right, compared to a mediocre life, this reward is worthy of the evaluation of SSS.

At this level, it is a great reward to end with the epic task of continuing the history of mankind.....
