Chapter 502

(PS: Thanks to the Silver Alliance Leader "Shi Fen Wu Nai _ing" for the silver alliance reward, hereby exploding ten chapters! Finished!

Thanks again for your support. I hope this book hasn't disappointed everyone!!)

(PS2: By the way, I'm so tired, so tired, so tired. I only have a mere four chapters of stock. Today I turned into a tentacle monster and wrote six chapters in a row, nearly 20,000 words. Now my fingers are still painful, my head is swollen and dizzy. Fortunately, I have been mentally excited recently and am in a manic period. I will take a leave tomorrow and have one less chapter, just two chapters, at 6 pm and 9 pm. I want to sleep in tomorrow.)

"... About 7,000 years ago, in the 30th century AD, a disease called the White Salt Plague broke out in human society."

"The symptoms were that white spots initially appeared on the body, then gradually deepened, the flesh appeared terrifying alienation phenomena, and the spirit fell into madness. Most people would die at this stage, but if they could survive this stage, and their spirit and consciousness had not gone crazy, then the flesh would turn into a white salt pillar, and at the same time, the spirit and soul would be stripped out of the flesh."

Wu Wu Pifu heard this and was already certain that this so-called White Salt Plague was the root of the pollution in this world, and also the source of the doomsday of this world. However... this doesn't have much to do with the current battlefield of mechanical lifeforms and androids, right?

This mechanical lifeform continued: "But we didn't sit still and wait for death, because of the final symptoms of the White Salt Plague, we began to analyze the existence of spirit and soul. I have to say it's ironic, because this doomsday led to our research progress on spirit and soul by leaps and bounds. If our human civilization had survived this catastrophe, it might have been able to advance to the ranks of spirit and soul civilization, but..."

"Failed?" Wu Wu Pifu asked.

The mechanical lifeform seemed to sigh, and he continued: "Yes, as you said, we failed. At that time, the remaining humans were very few. We urgently needed to save ourselves. There were several plans at that time, one of which was to find a way for all humans to survive the mid-term madness stage of the White Salt Plague until the salt pillar stage afterwards, so that all human souls could be manifested. In this way, we humans could at least preserve our soul bodies. But it's a pity... the spirit and soul independent of the flesh are very, very easily polluted by free information..."

"These souls eventually turned into terrible monsters, legendary demons, various incomprehensible curses, grudges, etc., which accelerated our human extinction."

"In the end, we... all remaining humans chose a plan... the Spirit-Flesh Separation Plan!"

Wu Wu Pifu nodded and said: "Before the White Salt Plague broke out, separate the soul from the flesh?"

"Yes!"

The mechanical lifeform said: "At that time, we used various methods to separate our flesh and soul. The soul was placed in a pure and flawless place to avoid being polluted by free information, while the flesh had to be abandoned because it was infected with the plague. Therefore, we manufactured replicas of our flesh. This... is actually the origin of androids!"

"According to our plan, the soul is in a pure and flawless place, and then the flesh replica purifies the world's plague. After the plague is completely purified, our soul will return to the flesh and become one with it. In this way, human civilization will be declared reborn, but..."

"The replicated flesh produced self-consciousness!!"

The mechanical lifeform vibrated violently, and the sound it made was more like a roar: "The replicated flesh produced self-consciousness, refused to fuse with the soul body, and even destroyed the cutting-edge equipment we used to fuse flesh and soul. In this way, our soul's return was hopeless, and the replicated flesh did not possess a soul. The consciousness it produced had no carrier, and most of them would turn into flesh without wisdom after a long time."

"But some of the replicated flesh, whose original owners were people of deep wisdom, also possessed high knowledge and scientific ability. So these flesh bodies modified their own bodies... They clearly knew that their intellect would degenerate, so they used electronic chips and electronic programs to become the source of their intellect. Simply put, before they turned into beasts, they used artificial AI to replace their intellect!"

Wu Wu Pifu was completely silent when he heard this.

The mechanical lifeform didn't hear Wu Wu Pifu's question, and he continued: "This is also the reason why those androids are so beautiful. When we manufactured replicas of our flesh, everyone has a love for beauty, and we carried out adjustments ourselves. Then later, the original androids who lost their intellect, wisdom, and memory, in the role of AI, in their remaining memories, reproduction was their greatest pursuit. So this kind of adjustment with beauty, sexiness, and reproduction as the first requirement continued."

"After that, androids began to replicate androids. They couldn't reproduce, but they could manufacture. At the same time, the underlying programs as artificial intelligence were always to serve humanity, not to harm humanity, etc. core structures. But... they betrayed humanity, and they had no humans to save at all. And the most original androids knew part of the truth. They covered up this truth and manufactured a false curtain that humans still survived... Humans had already perished before they retreated to the moon!"

Wu Wu Pifu heard this and said: "Then what's going on with the aliens, mechanical lifeforms, and your current situation?"

"There are aliens!"

The mechanical lifeform suddenly made a sound similar to sarcasm.

"After humanity perished, nearly 2,000 years passed. In these 2,000 years, even the souls in a pure and flawless environment began to deform, annihilate, and die on a large scale. Most of them turned into vengeful spirits, all kinds of bizarre things, etc., but they had been sealed in the pure and flawless place. This all lasted until the aliens descended..."

"They appeared, but they were not the super-strong civilization crossing star systems as imagined. Either they were small-scale colonial speculators, or interstellar refugees. But their technology and civilization were still far higher than android society. At the same time, they dropped mechanical lifeforms, this special combat weapon. Androids were defeated and had to be forced to migrate to the moon. Just when the aliens intended to eliminate the androids in one go, they opened the pure and flawless place because they explored the history of this planet..."

"The aliens perished, and were completely exterminated by the demons, curses, bizarre things, all kinds of terror, and us who accidentally occupied part of the mechanical lifeforms and whose souls were compatible with them."

"Time is the best detergent. No matter how big the resentment, no matter how terrifying the curse, under the scouring of thousands of years of time, these demons and curses gradually annihilated and disappeared. On the contrary, we who fused with mechanical lifeforms in a peculiar way finally remained..."

Wu Wu Pifu silently thought about what this mechanical lifeform said. He didn't fully believe it, but he didn't deny it either. After all, it was just one-sided words. He still lacked information from the android side. Only when the information from both sides was gathered could he confirm whether what this mechanical lifeform said was true.

Wu Wu Pifu asked: "Then you came to see me, what do you want to do?"

The mechanical lifeform didn't say the purpose immediately, he continued: "It's a pity that we were sealed for thousands of years. No soul can remain the same. Even me... is the same. After we fused with mechanical lifeforms, most humans combined with mechanical lifeforms in the form of fragments, thus giving birth to the so-called 'special individual' unit. They themselves possess the permission of the mechanical life network, and at the same time, their thinking and algorithms carry the memories and traces of human souls. So this led them to want to know more about humans, want to know more about what is a human, and... evolve into humans."

Wu Wu Pifu nodded and said: "Yes, I met one. It asked me the difference between human reading and its reading."

The mechanical lifeform was silent for a while, and said sadly: "This is us. We came from humans, but turned into monsters. Now we are thinking about evolving into humans... Repeat again, although we are the fusion of past human souls, in fact, we are all broken. What is talking to you now is a fusion fragment of a total of 68 souls. Each soul fragment provides a certain intellect. We unite to have logical dialogue with you. Otherwise, what you hear will be all kinds of human information inquiries that are upside down."

"Then you came to see me, what do you want to do?" Wu Wu Pifu asked again.

The mechanical lifeform said: "Help us! You are the last human in this world. We don't know where you came from, and we don't know where you are going. Perhaps it is a cross-time miracle brought by quantum tunneling flickering, or a traveler from another world. But for the sake of being human, at least past humans, help us..."

"Help us catch those original androids! And only if you catch them and give them to us, when you are there, can our scattered and entangled soul fragments gather together, can we have common consciousness and common wisdom. Otherwise, even if we catch them, we still don't know what to do."

"Flesh, spirit consciousness, and soul, these three are complementary. Our souls are broken and turned into pieces, but as long as we can return to our own replicas, spirit consciousness and soul can be slowly nourished by the flesh, allowing our souls to gradually heal and become complete..."

"This is the only way to make humans reappear, the only one!"

The mechanical lifeform paused for a long time when it said this, and didn't hear Wu Wu Pifu's promise. It said with regret: "I know, language alone cannot convince you, but we have patience. We have waited for thousands of years, and we have patience..."

"The unified android information processing center, the original androids... they are the real culprits of human extinction. They are not everything for the glory of humanity as advertised. They just use it as an excuse to control all androids."

"Go to the moon, go to the moon..."

"There is the answer you want, and there is the truth about the original androids that you can see clearly..."

"We... will wait for your answer..."

"Forever... forever..."

The mechanical lifeform's voice tone kept rising and falling, and it seemed that there was a contradiction within it, unable to form a united state anymore. Finally, this mechanical lifeform exploded directly and turned into a pool of rotten meat.

The existence that claimed to be human had disappeared.
