Caneri shook the fuchsia Bonnati in his goblet, but his eyes were fixed on the man in front of him. I took a sip, savored it for a while, and then began to tell.

Bodhisattva is a specialty fruit of this planet, and even this huge planet has very little production in this water. Therefore, the wine made from this fruit is also very expensive, and in the past, only the people at the top of society could drink it.

The planet is big, the trees are so tall, and the species are so big. However, the evolution of huge species is also much more difficult than that of small species, so in the end, the species that rules this planet is our Binye people.

Binye people are at the top of the biological chain on this planet, but Binye people are also divided into classes and levels. People who don't live well are not even as good as pets. If you are bitten by the pets of rich and powerful people, the most you will pay for medical expenses, and some will be countersued for hurting your pet. Unintentionally, forced to hurt or kill a pet, and pay money to apologize.

Chances are never fair, but that is no excuse.

Although we are called virtual people, how many of us are willing to be virtual people? We are also capable and giving, and we also want to enjoy the real world. We don't really want to indulge in the virtual world and get something for nothing. What we lack is strength, family strength, physical strength. But is that up to us? Who wouldn't want to be born into a powerful family?

Emperor Xingyu gave us civilians, us ordinary people, a chance. An opportunity to have great power. What bullshit federation bullshit federation, they also have the ability to make people stronger, but they didn't give it to us. They are afraid, afraid that they will no longer be able to rule over us, that they will exploit us.

Almost 96 percent of the time the mutation succeeds, and who wouldn't want to try? I was lucky to succeed, but my parents failed. With power, you want to look for fair opportunities. Those people were moved by the threat of their status and tried desperately to stop us from evolving, and this is how the war broke out.

Emperor Xingyu did not have a regular army at all, and all wars were organized by us people. There has never been a command or command from the Star Emperor, and everyone who wants to liberate the entire universe has acted on their own to spread the Holy Blood all over the galaxy.

The Holy Blood is the blood in the bodies of those of us who call ourselves the Celestial Clan. After ordinary people drink it, it can stimulate the potential in the body to produce mutations. After the mutation is successful, the physical strength is enhanced, and the lifespan is unlimited. You can also transform when you need to, and your strength and abilities will be even more powerful after transforming. The more ordinary the person, the better the effect, if it is a high-level warrior, it may have strong physical resistance but the effect is not good.

With power, we can also do things in reality that we could only do in the virtual world before. For example, the Bodhisattva I drink now, this is something I have dreamed of doing since I was a child, and I could only deceive myself in the virtual world before. Isn't it funny? Dream just wants to drink Bosinati.

At the beginning, the Xingyu clan who successfully mutated didn't want much, just a fair opportunity to get a corresponding reward for their efforts. It's a pity that those who are high up are unwilling, and as a result, after the war starts, they are the most afraid of death. True to that sentence, barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. It's not who is more ruthless, it's who is more ruthless to themselves.

The initial wish was good, and after the victory of the Xingyu clan, they thought that there were still many people in the galaxy who wanted to get the ability, so they went to various places with passion, so that everyone had a chance to choose.

But so what? More than 300 years have passed since the war, and the original aspirations have changed, although the banner is still the same.

I don't know who said that the heart of man is inherently evil. Human beings are always the ugliest, and their desires can never be satisfied. Even a teenager who once had a dream will end up lost in power and desire.

Emperor Xingyu has not changed, he has never said that he wants war. Until now, there has been no personal order from him to let the Xingyu clan do anything. All of the rumors out there are artificially fabricated, some of them are made up by the Federation and the Galactic Alliance, and some are made up by those of the Star Clan who want to have power.

Everything is fake, we haven't even seen the face of the Emperor Xingyu. No one knows where he is, what he looks like, or what he's doing.

"You really don't drink a little?" asked Gareri mildly.

"Thank you. Wu Changkong shook his head.

After cultivating near the stars for more than a hundred years, I thought that the war was over, but I didn't expect that the war was still in a stalemate. This planet is the first planet that Wu Chang arrived on after he came out, and he thought that there would be another battle, but fortunately, the supreme commander here did not fight impulsively after hearing this. The two chatted together, and Wu Changkong wanted to know the recent situation in the galaxy.

The Xingyu clan is the self-proclaimed name of the mutant who has been passed down from the bloodline of the Xingyu Emperor. Garneri revealed that after his and his friends' research, there was some unknown virus in their mutants. These viruses can be transmitted through blood, so if an average person wants to mutate, they only need to drink a little blood from a mutant person to mutate. Ganeri and his friends call the virus a blood virus.

Mutants will eat metal, which will be swallowed by the virus and then spit out and combine with tissues and muscles to enhance the strength of the body. And after the overall combination of these metals is completed, it will have the effect of brain. This is equivalent to the combination of a robot and a biological human, and the blood virus can combine the two very well.

If the transformed* are the effects of viruses and metal brains, they will be modified according to the characteristics of each person and the memory of the brain.

"It reminds me of the vampires and fabled metal electronic civilization of my hometown. Wu Changkong spoke about the characteristics of vampires and the electronic civilization of the self-traveling era.

Caneri doesn't know about vampires, but he also knows about electronic civilization. He believes that in fact, the Xingyu clan is a combination of cyborgs and robots.

Cyborgs who can evolve and mutate on their own have always been a goal of galactic civilization research. However, before the appearance of the Star Emperor, more than 100,000 years of research have not been perfect. It's not that there are no successful cases, but that the life span of successful cyborgs has been shortened. One of the functions of the graduate man is immortality, and civilized species are not satisfied with the average lifespan of five hundred years. Biochemical viruses in the human body can multiply and evolve in large numbers, replacing the normal cell life span of human beings and prolonging human lifespan.

One of the cyborgic puzzles is the problem of viruses eating brain cells. It is not easy to get the virus to treat phagocytes differently, and even if it does, it is a dementia for brain cells to age, even if the body is not old. So this problem is very difficult to solve, and most of the cases that fail are when brain cells are devoured and turn into man-eating monsters. Because the virus has eaten the cells of the body, more cells need to multiply and evolve, so they are eager to get fresh cell replenishment.

This dilemma now appears to be solved by intelligent electronic civilization. The virus engulfs only part of each brain cell, and the same structure is replicated with metal, and the metal electronic intelligence simulates the defective part, so as to ensure that the brain does not lose reason and memory. In fact, not only brain cells, but all cells should not be engulfed by viruses, and they are all the same operation. In this way, the whole body is half-biological and half-metal.

After the successful mutation, the intelligent electronic civilization transmits a message that the threat from the Barley galaxy makes all the advanced civilization species in the galaxy ready to resist.

For intelligent electronic civilization, Caneri is an indescribable feeling. Is there hate, is there love? I don't know.

The success of the self-travel era finally deduced that the cooperation of the federations should be the cooperation advocated by the Galactic Grand Alliance. For ordinary people who have no strength or ability, they can choose to enter the virtual world for a long time as a virtual person, without labor, and pay their own brainwaves in exchange for doing whatever they want in the virtual world. There are also criminals, all criminals will not have a prison in reality, all enter the virtual world. If you reform it inside, you won't be released if you are reformed or your sentence is completed, and you can only live in the virtual world if you restore your right to freedom. You can only return to the real world when you have established merit in the virtual world in exchange for rewards or contribution points to reach a certain standard.

In the past, I entered the virtual world because of the need for work, study or entertainment, but now being a virtual person means staying in the biological cabin for a long time or forever, and only living in the virtual world from now on. It's a pleasant thing for lazy people, but not everyone wants it.

This may be the case when decentralization is advocated. Many people will be forced to enter the virtual world as virtual humans for some reason, and it is no longer so easy for those who originally liked to be virtual people to return to the real world. Virtual human proposals are used as a tool and means by many authorities, and they are also called useless.

Ganeri is an ordinary person who is forced to enter the virtual world as a virtual person, and many of his friends, classmates and even former colleagues have entered the virtual world as virtual people. Many of them are capable people, but they just didn't succeed.

So for being a virtual person, Ganeri is disgusted in his heart. Although he finally tasted the wine in the virtual world, he knew that it was fake, and no matter how real his feelings were, it was fake. This proposal, which may have been well-intentioned, was exploited to deprive him of the right to return to the real world.

From this point of view, Caneri indirectly hated the virtual world and the intelligent electronic civilization, without which there would be no virtual human.

But now it is the intelligent electronic civilization that I hate that has brought strength to me and made me a powerful person. What a contradiction.

"What does that Bonsinati taste like?

Shaking his head, Ganeri replied, "There is no difference, there is no difference at all." Sometimes when I'm drinking, I can't tell if I'm in the virtual world or the real world. Like now, are we in the virtual world or in the real world? Are you a virtual dummy or a real person?"

Wu Changkong couldn't help but think of the famous Taoist classic story "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly" of the Great Qin Guoshou, and also told this philosophical story to Ganeri.

Life is like a dream, this sentence is everywhere people sigh, and it will not be outdated after hundreds of thousands of years.

Ganeri drank the wine from the glass in one gulp: "What else do you want to know?"

After thinking about it, Wu Changkong asked, "Have you ever fought with the Divine General?"

"Nope. I don't want to fight them, it's not interesting to fight and kill. This is also the experience of knowing that I used to dream of becoming strong and defeating those who are strong. But when the problem of longevity is solved, it seems that everything becomes meaningless. Perhaps the feeling in reality is the same as in the virtual world, and in the virtual world we have all kinds of feelings and experiences. Maybe this has made us troubled to realize that there is no difference between reality and virtuality. The only difference is that we don't die in the virtual world, but in reality we still have the possibility of dying. ”

It turns out that the Xingyu clan is not impossible to destroy, and there are still many ways to make them die. At first, I just didn't meet mutants like them, and I couldn't find the right way in time.

They can also die if they lose too much blood or if they lack oxygen for a long time. Or most of the flesh is vaporized and evaporated, and the mutilated body parts are too small to die.

"Have you ever considered that no one can kill you? What if the Milky Way is destroyed? How are you going to survive? Or even if you can jump to other galaxies by then, what if all the galaxies are destroyed? What if the universe is destroyed? How are you going to survive?"

Ganeri was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled after a pause: "Are you worrying about the destruction of the universe? When will it be? If you can really live for that long, maybe I would have wanted to die and be free." It's nice that you can't find a way to kill yourself and commit suicide. In fact, if you go to a black hole, you will die very quickly. ”

There was silence for a while: "Others may still be happy with the power that their power brings, and I'm already starting to get tired of it. What is the purpose of living? This proposition is an eternal proposition, and everyone has their own opinions, and everyone has their own questions. ”

"What about you? Will you die, can you live forever, what are you living for, what's the point?" asked Ganeri rhetorically.

Seeing that Wu Changkong was silent, Ganeri finally sighed.

"I'm not what I used to be, what am I? Are these what I want? I'm crawling with countless viruses in my body, am I a monster?"
