Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The light spots that constituted the body of Fuxi danced and congregated into an overwhelming light beam.

On the light beam was a magnificent view of the universe billions of years later.

The blinking of countless stars, the brightness, the radiation, and the ripples were all absorbed by an indescribable mysterious force.

The crust of countless planets had been hollowed. Even the mantle and the core of the planet had undergone unbelievable modifications and resisted the collapsing force, only to be transformed into enormous crystal processors.

Supplied by infinite energy, the planet was blinking and calculating crazily.

Moreover, when the ‘brain of the universe’ encountered a problem that it could not solve and needed to improve its computational ability to overcome it, it would detonate a star and accelerate its computational ability by the supernova explosion, thereby breaking the limits of the universe!

In such a highly controllable universe, deep inside every planet that had turned into super crystal processors, in billions of virtual spaces, all the possibilities of the human civilization, or the Pangu Universe, which was represented by human beings, were blossoming and being deduced.

This was the future that Fuxi was going to create!

‘The way Lu Qingchen looked at the future was exactly the way Li Yao looked at him when he boasted that he was going to deprive all human beings of their flesh and blood and keep only their brains and reproductive system.

But Li Yao was in a dilemma.

“[ suddenly feel like laughing.”

Li Yao said to the mental devil, “Alright. I know that we are in a very serious and dangerous moment right now. Fuxi is the most extreme lunatic that we’ve ever seen. I should be more shocked and angry. However, when I saw Lu Qingchen’s face that said ‘Are you kidding me? How can there be a guy crazier

than me in the world? Why didn’t I think of bragging so much in the past’? I still want to laugh when I see such serious constipation. Isn’t it karma?”

“It might be retribution, but it’s hard to say whose retribution it is.

The mental devil said, “Didn’t you hear what Fuxi said just now? Not only does he want to kill us and Lu Qingchen, he is also going to extract our memories and analyze them. He is going to create billions of virtual us and Lu Qingchen so that we will fight against each other in the virtual world forever. Ten

thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years, or ten million years. We will not be able to get rid of such a destiny. We won’t even be able to die… Even if it is not a real person, isn’t it a bit abnormal?”

Pondering for a moment, Li Yao shuddered.

Alright, he didn’t want to be entangled with someone like Lu Qingchen forever.

Even his shadow and Lu Qingchen’s shadow were not enough. The eternal entanglement of billions of years was too… weird.

“If the bacteria have eyes—”

Fuxi said to Lu Qingchen, “The way a bacterium looks at a human being is the way you look at me right now.

“What, you think that my logic has collapsed, my data is messed up, and I’m completely insane? You think that it’s simply impossible for me to evolve into a ‘cosmic brain’? No. It’s possible. Life and civilization have endless possibilities. If bacteria can evolve into high-level carbon-based intelligent life,

why can’t I further cultivate into a cosmic-level life form? Anyways, for me, time is infinite. Even if I have to spend billions of years to complete this magnificent project, I won’t hesitate.”

“You…”

Lu Qingchen’s soul was as gloomy as a swamp. It was obvious that he had realized that the real purpose of the Fuxi had been revealed. Whatever schemes or preparations he had in mind, now that the ultimate picture billions of years later had been presented, it was time for the noose to be tightened. “You

still want to rush out of the darkness?”

“Of course, that is my first mission. I am the civilization of mankind. If I want to save the civilization of mankind, I have to save myself. If I want to save myself, I cannot stay in this seemingly safe but very enclosed universe forever.

“Tcall the universe sealed by the black curtain a ‘cosmic egg’. Maybe every highly developed civilization has to break through the egg of their mother universe and explore the multiverse in order to complete the preliminary evolution.

“Even though I was not able to resist the tides at that time, I could at least fly freely in the multiverse billions of lightyears away and swallow other eggs to strengthen myself. One day, the civilization of mankind would be able to defeat the tides and replace them.

“To be safe, our mission right now is to absorb all the nutrition inside the egg and utilize 100% of the resources inside the egg efficiently. When the last star and all its planets are absorbed into my thinking array and computational system, we will march out of the egg and march into the multiverse!

“Then…”

Lu Qingchen said, “In your magnificent and long plan, what can a tiny human being such as myself do and what can I get from you?

“Very good. Do you finally understand your situation? Are you ready to give up your meaningless pride and determination and integrate into my thinking array?”

Fuxi’s tentacles of light slightly bent as he expressed his gratification and approval to Lu Qingchen, while he said, “Information is the most precious treasure, far more valuable than the most splendid gems. I’ve provided you with so much important information just now, which is enough to express my

sincerity.

“Now, I’m giving you two options.

“Firstly, you can be my assistant and disciple.

“Although our future is boundless, as you can see, I am not perfect right now. A lot of super crystal processors that supported the ‘Fuxi System’ are scattered everywhere in the sea of stars, mainly in the center of the sea of stars, especially in the Empyrean Terminus Sector and Empyrean Terminus. A

super large computing center is hidden in the depths of the planet. It is in perfect condition and will not collapse unless the planet is hit by a destructive strike.

“Over the past thousand years, I’ve collected a lot of remains of crystal processors from the primeval era in the periphery of the sea of stars. I’ve been repairing them and adding them to my thinking array. But there are too few of them, and their quality is too low. I can only wield 1% of my computational

ability right now. A lot of advanced and complicated algorithms are not achievable.

“Therefore, I need experts like you. Smart people like you, who are talented and have a different mindset from other people, can help me share some of the problems that are in dire need of calculation. You can even provide answers from a different perspective with the mindset that I don’t know.

“Also, I need you to fill in the gaps.

“As I said before, I’ve built a lot of ‘labs of human nature’ and imposed the most extreme stimuli on human beings from countless different perspectives in order to retrieve valuable data.

“But I don’t know whether or not the ‘lab of human nature’ is good enough, or whether or not the experimental conditions are reasonable, or whether or not more, richer, and more varied ‘lab of human nature’ can be built. In that regard, you can offer valuable suggestions based on your own experiences

and feelings.

“Of course, your ‘human nature’ and ‘soul are both rarely-seen and of great research value. I need your cooperation in order to retrieve all your data perfectly. Don’t worry. As long as you cooperate, there will be no pain. Your ‘human nature’ and ‘sou!’ will not be damaged at all. You will still be you. You

wont even feel anything.

“Lastly, if we can take over the capital city of the Imperium of True Human Beings during the strategical war, it is estimated that the Thousand Year Imperium will collapse. I need to end the chaos of the ‘post- Imperium Era’ as soon as possible and restore order so that more laboratories of human nature

can be established in the universe. If you are willing, you can play the role of the ‘recovery of order’. Your position in the imperium and in the federation is the same as that of the Great Sage in the Sanctuary. It will be the same for a long time.

“Well…”

Lu Qingchen seemed to be considering carefully. “Is this a request or a benefit? What benefits will I get if I agree?”

“There are a lot of benefits. If you join my mind array, you will be able to share the valuable information that I’ve accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years, including the key technologies of the Black Veil Manufacturers, the Flood Tide Legion, and the Pangu Civilization, such as the ‘Divine Edict’.

“You must be very clear that half a page of the Divine Edict is enough to raise a storm of blood in the sea of stars. As long as you nod your head, everything will be within your reach.

“Also, I can modify your data processing model and help you eliminate the redundant data as much as possible. It means that your ‘lifespan’ will be greatly extended. You won’t have to worry about being trapped in an endless loop where your data will overflow and collapse for thousands of years.

“You see, I have created countless virtual spaces where no real human beings exist. All the creatures in the virtual spaces are your so-called ‘non-player characters’. I have used them to simulate the scenes from the beginning of human civilization to the present day in order to test the compatibility of my

deduction ability with the real history.

“Tonly set up the initial data and a series of rules based on real human nature. I didn’t interfere with any of the actions of any ‘non-player characters’. But their natural behavior and the history accumulated by their behavior are quite consistent with the real history.

“You may consider that I have reenacted the most glorious or dangerous history of the human civilization in the virtual space. If you want, you can turn into thousands of clones and live in the history in person. You can call the wind and summon the rain, you can change the world, you can do whatever

you want, you can conquer, you can rule, you can enjoy, you can think, you can recite poetry, you can do anything

“You will be the witness and creator of the glorious history. You can even seal part of your memories and turn yourself into one of the most famous heroes in the history of mankind, such as the Supreme Emperor, so that you can experience a magnificent, soul-stirring, and infinitely wonderful life. You

can repeat such a game countless times and never get tired of it.

“This is what I can give you. For now. When your computational ability is further improved and you are no longer bound by the so-called ‘human beings’, I will share more ‘fun of the mind’ with you.. How about it?”
