Chapter 470: Super Turing Machine

"No, there is still time! I have invented something; he can reverse the current situation, he will, he will definitely be able to end this disaster!"

Another figure, referred to as the Doctor, said excitedly.

"Then what have you invented? You must know that everything is already too late."

"The hope of our civilization... a life that can self-iterate, constantly update, and even has the hope of surpassing the Turing Architecture!"

The Doctor answered with a resonant, forceful tone.

Afterwards, this light and shadow gradually vanished and faded away.

Li Heng finished watching all of this, lost in thought.

It seems this is the origin of the Self-Disaster?

A machine or life form that was created, can self-iterate infinitely, and has the hope of surpassing the Turing Architecture?

This surprised him a little.

He knew the concept of a Turing Machine to some extent; in his past life on Earth, it belonged to the field of computer science and was even linked to some mathematical logic.

And the conceptual scope of a Turing Machine is very large.

It can be said that so-called wish fulfillment and omnipotent wish-granting machines all fall within the scope of Turing Machines and Turing Architecture. But now, someone actually claims they can surpass the Turing Architecture?

This is equivalent to being able to solve the self-reference problem.

What is self-reference?

To give a common example, the paradox of the Omniscient and Omnipotent.

Can the Omniscient and Omnipotent create a stone that he cannot lift?

If he can, it shows he is not Omniscient and Omnipotent.

If he cannot, it also shows he is not Omniscient and Omnipotent.

It can be said that this problem is quite unsolvable.

But a machine that surpasses the Turing Architecture could solve this point.

However, it is very obvious.

Regardless of whether this Self-Disaster is a living being, a machine, or something else, it certainly has not grown to the level of surpassing the Turing Architecture, otherwise it would not be unable to do anything to him.

Moreover, Li Heng doubted whether this thing really had such potential.

In any case, he did not feel it.

The most critical point is, if the Self-Disaster was initially manufactured to solve a certain disaster and save civilization and the World, why has it now become a disaster and a monster?

Some kind of mutation must have occurred behind this.

For example, being subjected to Pollution.

Does it still have such potential after being subjected to Pollution?

Li Heng indicated that this is worth doubting.

Of course, it is also possible that this potential might actually be strengthened after being subjected to Pollution...

His thoughts wandered in his mind, thinking boundlessly.

Soon, he reined his thoughts back in.

This was another time he had encountered Chinese, and various clues within it told him that this thing, the Self-Disaster, most likely originated from Earth, his past life, his old home.

But he also felt it would not be that simple.

Who stipulated that speaking Chinese must mean Earth, must mean his own old home? The Great Void is infinite and boundless; without absolute evidence, one simply cannot prove that those who speak Chinese must be people from Earth.

For instance, is there only one Earth? Could there not be Earths from other world lines, Earths from parallel universes? This is something that cannot be determined.

Moreover, in his memory, his old home Earth was a very ordinary place, everything was plain and unremarkable, and all things supernatural were merely illusions.

Yet the place where that Doctor was could actually produce a life form with the hope of surpassing a Turing Machine; this is even more terrifying than breaking the law of conservation of energy.

And what was the disaster they spoke of?

Could it also be those Disasters?

But his old home in his past life did not have such terrifying things.

Naturally, this might have appeared only after he transmigrated. Or perhaps what he saw was the future Earth, Earth after countless years of development.

But these are merely guesses.

They can only serve as reference, not as evidence.

Thinking of this, he intended to continue browsing other lights and shadows, intending to catch a glimpse of information. However, he discovered that those lights and shadows that originally surrounded him and fawned over him had actually started to move away and scatter.

They simply did not want to play with Li Heng, this "scumbag," anymore.

Subsequently, these countless lights and shadows merged together, once again condensing into a human shape, a pair of scarlet eyes staring fixedly at Li Heng. "Why did you reject us!"

The human shape spoke, mixed with a tone of dissatisfaction.

"It is not impossible for me to not reject you; tell me what your origin is, who was that original manufacturer? Where did you originate from."

Li Heng asked with a smile.

"Are you asking about the original 'me'?"

"If so, then 'I' cannot answer. The original me has already been eliminated and disappeared in the struggle of countless 'me's; the light and shadow you saw is the last information he left behind."

The human shape said indifferently.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

No wonder it was said to be self-iterating and constantly updating. Even the original me, the original prototype, was ruthlessly eliminated, only able to leave behind a small segment of light and shadow?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this human shape is lying.

"Then why did you become like this now?"

"You can at least answer this, right?"

"From the hope of civilization to a monster that destroys the world?"

Li Heng changed the question and spoke.

"As the currently newest me, I do not know much about the affairs of the old me, and knowing them would not have much meaning. However, it was generally nothing more than embracing more powerful strength on the path of evolution."

The humanoid figure answered slowly.

"Embraced more powerful strength? What kind of strength is that? The Disaster that destroyed the place where your original creator resided?"

Li Heng continued to press for answers.

"I cannot disclose this point, unless you embrace us and become a new me. The moment you become a new me, you will naturally be clear about what this strength is. How about it?"

The humanoid figure was clearly not a fool.

It would not allow Li Heng to fish for information.

"Is that so..."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and fell into deep thought.

There was no need to even think about it; if he truly agreed to this humanoid figure and became their new me, relying on his current strength, he would absolutely fall into the bottomless Abyss and never be able to crawl back out.

He would truly become fodder for the evolution of this Calamity.

Unless he could maintain the position of the new me forever and occupy the first place in the struggle among countless mes, he would only be devoured by a more powerful new me and become an old me.

But even if he could maintain the position of the new me forever, it would be difficult for Li Heng to guarantee whether he would be affected by anything, such as being the identity of a self-Calamity forever.

This was nothing more than a Terror trap with a small piece of cheese placed on it.

Unless you are "Jerry," do not step on it.

However, he had Source Power, and even more so, Golden Source Points. Previously, after slaughtering that Divine Fetus, his Golden Source Points increased by one hundred, and now the total number had reached as many as four hundred.

This scale of Source Power could also help him resist for a while.

It would not let him fall into the bottomless Abyss so quickly.

"Fine, I agree."

After thinking solemnly, Li Heng smiled.

Then, in the next moment, the humanoid figure dissipated, once again turning into countless rays of light, rotating around Li Heng, continuously wrapping around him, truly submerging into his body, and merging with him.

Li Heng used Source Power to protect his self and did not resist.

Finally, a Giant Cocoon condensed in this dark Void...

On a certain level.

Here, corpses of Immortal Gods were everywhere, the Heavenly Palace had become ruins, black energy dissipated in all directions, and Terror and Ominous had already descended, as if to completely devour this True Realm and this Heavenly Palace.

If Li Heng were in it himself, he would be able to sense it.

There were no fewer than a hundred Calamities existing here.

The monsters raging here were immeasurable.

However, strangely, this place was frozen, like a black-and-white photograph, with only a golden pillar of light soaring into the sky from the highest Gong Dian, continuously steaming.

And at this moment, in that highest, most sacred, and most perfect Gong Dian, a gaze was cast down, looking at the Xuanyang Dao Field on this level, feeling somewhat surprised and uncertain.
