Volume 17: Enemy of All Things Chapter 10 Final Inspiration
The dilemma of a siege city refers to the situation where people outside want to get in, but people inside want to get out, and both sides envy each other's predicament. But there is one thing to consider here, that is, both sides are sure to be dissatisfied with their lives, which is the main reason for the siege city dilemma.
Only when you are dissatisfied with your current life will you subconsciously look for an object of comparison. However, if the object of comparison is different from what you imagined, you will instinctively feel envious and jealous. This emotion is catalyzed and excited, and after a period of time, it is the siege dilemma we are familiar with. It is unreasonable and completely impossible to simply ignore any background and current situation. No one can do this.
There is no love or hate without reason in this world. Everything has cause and effect, and everything has its own internal logic behind it. For example, the foreshadowing before World War II was the same in Chinese history. We all know about the destruction of opium at Humen and the unequal treaties that foreigners wanted to sign before, but not many people know that not long before this humiliation, the Chinese controlled the main bonds and shares of the East India Company. They used silver leverage to drain the entire European financial system and paralyzed the entire Europe.
In the end, these robbers who had no wisdom and were not used to doing business still picked up their weapons. The countries that were most severely damaged by leverage formed an alliance, and a group of robbers rushed into the homes of the rich to smash, loot and burn. But the premise is that financial leverage destroyed the European economy. This is the premise.
Before this premise, there is China's unimaginable silver reserves and various related perfect terms and facilities, which are incomparable to Europe.
Everything in the world has a cause-and-effect relationship. The birth of an event must come from two individuals. What is the first cause of everything? It can only be the legendary Big Bang. Everything is like being finalized in a sophisticated computer. Everything has been recorded in the relevant data, waiting for others to read and search, or just watch everything in the sandbox running continuously.
When Li Lin was young, he had some nightmares - he couldn't tell whether it was when he was a child or after he came out of school, the dreams were always so hazy - in the nightmares, he lost his body and form, as if he was not a human being, and had inexplicable thoughts and logic.
The logic is so bizarre and strange that even Li Lin himself doesn't know where this idea comes from.
At first, Li Lin thought that this might just be because he was too tired and had too many thoughts. But now, judging from everything that has happened, Li Lin feels that his past, his dreams, and his thoughts all have certain necessary factors in them. In other words, his own life is not as stable and peaceful as he imagined, and he is not deceived by others.
"I often wonder why I always feel this uncontrolled freedom on the Internet, but feel all kinds of oppression in reality? Why can I only find my own peace of mind in this place? I have been thinking about these things all the time."
Looking at the planet beneath his feet that was wrapped in halo and was gradually being cut, Li Lin muttered to himself while standing in the command room of the spacecraft.
The people in white surrounding them wisely kept their mouths shut, showing no intention of responding at all.
These warriors of the Holy Light knew very well what they should and should not do. It was true that they were responsible for the task of clearing out the heretics, but if they wanted a big shot like Li Lin to listen to their troubles or to listen to their own troubles, it would be wiser to keep their mouths shut. Even the warriors of the Holy Light knew very well what Li Lin meant, so they would not express their opinions.
As if he understood the situation very well, Li Lin did not say much. He just stood on the translucent podium, looking at the planet under his feet that was gradually trapped in a blazing dream by the Holy Light Missionary Fleet, and began to think about his own questions. Those questions that belonged only to him were still largely unclear.
"Just like the planet below, we have used our power to trap them in an eternal dream. They will no longer feel the outside world, but for them, their spirits themselves are part of the world. They are trapped in their own dreams. This can be considered a kind of immortality, but it can definitely not be called alive. However, from their perspective, they seem to think that our idea is completely wrong. Just like the creatures in the arc will not leave the server, can this life immersed in its own dream world really feel the outside world?"
"I think it's possible. Because everything must have a first cause. It's because of our actions that they collapse into this world. And we can also choose whether to destroy it or release it from the seal. We, the external factors, are the first cause for them. So for me, what is my first cause? What made me come here and accept so many things?"
"Or to put it another way, what does the AI want me to do? If I give it an order, can the AI answer my question? If I give it an order now, can I hear the truth of the world? Or is it just a siege? I'm thinking too much."
"AI, I order you to tell me the truth about this world."
“…”
Many Holy Light Guards didn't dare to breathe, for fear that they would be treated as heretics.
Since His Majesty Li Lin disappeared for a while and came back, rumors of insane behavior have begun to spread from the surrounding world. All the Holy Light Guards used brainwaves to spread that Li Lin often muttered in a mysterious place, or was looking for suggestions on something that did not exist. No one dared to offend at this time, and could only keep their eyes straight and show that they loved their jobs and were dedicated to their work.
Some well-informed people vowed never to pursue those strange relics again. It is said that Li Lin had no problems before, but he went to find the reason for the disappearance of the Holy Light Pioneer according to the organization's arrangement. After returning, he became a little abnormal and looked a little abnormal and terrifying. This shows that the legend is still credible.
Just when all the Holy Light Guards were in panic, Li Lin looked around for a while but did not get any reply.
He could only sigh and sit on the chair, his fingers constantly clicking, as if he was flipping through something.
In a window that only Li Lin could see, the proposal was still floating in the air with blood-red characters. There was no way to delete it, no way to hide it, so he could only put it in the mailbox and look at the blood-red +1 and resist clicking it. This was the most effective solution. But humans could not resist the temptation of +1, so Li Lin kept looking at the words on it over and over again, almost memorizing the proposals.
'Something is wrong with the real world.'
In the quiet game world, Li Lin's brain was working unprecedentedly, constantly thinking about the changes around him.
'In the past, if the A-level council could not pass a bill due to some issues, it would be transferred to the lower-level council or AI for review. There has never been a time when it was directly handed over to a person to make a decision. Even if it is a voting mechanism, there is no such long standby time, and there is still a certain degree of right of refusal.'
'However, this time I have no right to refuse, and there is no option to refuse. I can only choose yes or no. This means that either the AI has lost control and played a bad joke on me, or the real world has completely encountered some unimaginable problems. However, the problem now is that both of them have some past real states that cannot be resolved. This means that they are not like this. '
'Judging from the fact that the number of players has not decreased, there is no social disorder or phenomenal riot in the real world. There is no chaos in the forums or related places. There are as many rumors as before, but they are just rumors. This shows that the turmoil in the real world has been completely denied. If the AI went crazy, then I would not see neat streets and people around me in reality, and Mars would have exploded into pieces long ago. The fact that I can still surf the Internet on Mars now shows that there is no problem with the AI. So which hacker used this thing to make fun of me? '
When he thought of this, Li Lin almost couldn't help but laugh at himself.
In this world, where do human network hackers come from? Everyone is coded and positioned by prosthetics from birth, so network hackers are completely nonsense. Li Lin even doubts how many people in this world know how to do network maintenance or editing. Maybe there is no one.
AI has mastered everything, so if something happens, AI will be the first to respond, and then human society will change. The world now is not so much a huge development of mankind, but rather a giant parasite on AI. It is completely dependent on the existence of the AI automated world. So the problem now is that this file, which arrived from the A-level authority, can only bring the most unlikely consequence.
"Because of some inexplicable problem, am I the only one left with A-level authority who can finalize the plan?"
Looking at those dark red fonts, Li Lin couldn't help but sigh slightly.
If all other possibilities are ruled out, then no matter how incredible the last one seems, it will be the final correct answer.
Due to some unknown reasons, all A-level users were caught in some kind of inexplicable crisis. Therefore, all livelihood and originally open permissions were recovered, sorted and merged by AI. Finally, the last part of the decision that humans could make was handed over to Li Lin.
This is a manifestation of AI and humans governing the world together, and this is also the main reason for the existence of A-level authority. The significance of this authority is not because of how powerful or capable they are, but simply a fig leaf. Now the fig leaf has been torn apart for some reason, leaving only the last piece of cloth named Li Lin. So the final judgment is left to Li Lin, and there is no one else.
But what exactly caused all this? Li Lin asked, and the reason he got was that everything was normal.
It's impossible that everyone died of sudden renal failure, right?
The probability is too small, no less than Mars hitting the Earth. So it is not within the scope of consideration.
Just when Li Lin wanted to think more, this rare thought in the entire game world was overshadowed by a baritone voice that sounded inexplicably full of pride. With anger at having his thoughts interrupted, Li Lin subconsciously turned his gaze to the screen and stared at the Oriental man on the screen.
"In the name of the Supreme Lord Haotian, we, the immortals, will issue the final ultimatum to you barbarians. You barbarians do not know the heavenly book, do not know your destiny, and have repeatedly rebelled against the messenger of heaven. This is truly an unforgivable crime. However, I, Lord Haotian, am a man of great virtue and kindness. I think that you are all barbarians, and it is normal that you do not know the face of heaven and do not recognize the majesty of heaven. Now we will give you the greatest mercy. As long as you kneel down and surrender, I can take you as my slaves to see what happens next—"
"Blow up a Huangtian fortress for me, use Genesis."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Lin waved his hand, and the tall soldier immediately received the order, turned around and saluted respectfully.
The instantaneous light from the gods suddenly spanned the entire universe, causing a huge star in the nest to tremble slightly. Amid the exclamations of the players on the ground, the satellites surrounding the player's planet slowly bloomed like a wrapped flower ball, with a little hazy firelight blooming in the core. The dim but creepy flames burned fiercely from the inside of those translucent golden petals.
It was as if space had been distorted. No one saw where the flame went, and no one even saw whether the flower was launched. The petals that had been opened gradually released golden cooling powder around them, and slowly collapsed back to their original positions. All forces in this universe could feel a huge and terrifying wave that crossed the entire universe and was accurately located on a planet. The planet seemed to not exist at all, and it disappeared from the spectrum of all forces in an instant. The fortress planet occupied by the mysterious Eastern forces was even wiped out of existence.
Normally, this kind of attack would cause the light to last for a while before slowly disappearing from the star map. This was because starlight also had a speed. However, now a space was inexplicably vacated in that space. The man who was originally arrogant on Li Lin's screen also suddenly disappeared into a white light.
This abnormal phenomenon made Li Lin a little excited, but not too excited that he raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, he's pretty unlucky, being on that planet."
"Your Majesty, we have launched Genesis. Are you sure we want to attack the Eastern forces now?"
"Ah, prepare to fight. It's been so long, the best chance has been lost. Let the reinforcements from the Eastern World come out and stroll around, and tell them that whichever planet they conquer will belong to them. We won't ask for more benefits, we just hope that those people will die in the starry sky, preferably without even a trace left. They must know what will make those people die the most painfully, after all, they were mortal enemies in the past."
"I see. Do other fleets need coordinated protection?"
"No, that's their own business."
"I will follow your Majesty's will."
The god bowed, stood in place and began to control the fleets in the entire starry sky with his thoughts.
Through their superior individual strength, the Holy Light Fleet far surpasses other organizations in terms of communications. These gods can easily transmit large-scale messages to every corner of the universe. Even a university cannot produce so many cosmic warfare-level gods to serve as communications soldiers.
So soon, in the prophecy books and spectrum tables of all forces, the fleets that had been gradually calming down once again moved violently and began to drive towards the closed fortress planets. Creatures with strange shapes but extremely powerful auras continued to descend from the spacecraft to the fortress planets. Some barriers were broken almost instantly, while others were still stubbornly resisting. The entire universe was frightened by this violent emotion and was speechless. No one knew what was wrong with this originally kind Tenth Crown that he actually treated his enemies so harshly.
On the translucent bridge, the screen that had originally turned into a white light gradually returned to its original appearance as if time was going backwards. The so-called Heaven's Messenger, who had originally looked extremely arrogant, now looked quite embarrassed. His narrow face, like a mouse, was full of resentment. He looked viciously at Li Lin, who was sitting on the bridge with an indifferent expression, as if he wanted to remember his appearance thoroughly in his mind.
"...You, how dare you shamelessly and despicably attack us! How dare you do such a thing! We will not stand idly by. You and your organization will pay the price for this behavior. I will bring our allies to tell you what true power is!"
"Power? You want real power? I want to see what real power is..."
Li Lin sneered and didn't even look at the man in the picture.
"I forgot to tell you that I have some records of your Eastern world. It is normal to want to break your barrier. I am in a bad mood now, so you all should commit suicide. I have more important things to do."
"Your Majesty, where are you going ?"
"To college."
Li Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to the person behind him:
"No need to follow me. I'll go by myself. I think there must be some other problems, and there are some things in my mind that cannot be ignored..."
"But the battle situation——"
"Give the dwarves some benefits and set aside a portion of the land as a dwarven autonomous region. They will know what to do."
He waved his hand, and a light gate appeared in front of him in an instant. After an indescribable sense of distortion, Li Lin disappeared on the bridge.
