Chapter 149: Facing It
Morgana shouted.
"Karl, you grandson of a turtle! Are you really planning to keep watching the show? Hurry up and get me out of here! If you don't get me out, I'm going to be done for!"
As Morgana's voice fell, a voice unexpectedly rang out from thin air.
"Liangbing, right away."
"I didn't expect there to be a celestial computer on Earth comparable to the Grand Clock, so I wasted some time."
"It's ready now!"
Ye Cang knew, who else could the speaker be but Karl?
Only Karl would call her Liangbing every chance he got.
Liangbing was the name Morgana used before she became a Demon.
The next second, Morgana flipped a middle finger at the void, and immediately after, Morgana's figure vanished from Demon No. 1.
Watching Morgana disappear, Ye Cang's heart did not have much of a ripple.
He had long anticipated that Morgana would not be so easy to kill.
But!
Regardless of whether Morgana is easy to kill or not, every time one tries to slay Morgana, one must give it their all and never hold back; that is what is most important!
As Morgana vanished from sight, Ye Cang put away his weapon and prepared to leave Demon No. 1.
Although he hadn't managed to kill Morgana, seizing Demon No. 1 directly could be considered quite good.
One must know, this Demon No. 1 was equivalent to Morgana's right-hand man and was of immense value.
With a few modifications, he might even be able to turn it into a Space Fortress! If he did that, it would truly be a one-step solution!
It would save a lot of trouble.
But just as Ye Cang turned around, Karl's voice rang out once again.
"Wait, please stay."
After hearing this, Ye Cang did not stop his steps but continued walking toward the outside.
Why should he listen to Karl?
Sooner or later, Karl would also be his enemy...
Or perhaps, Karl was already his enemy now.
But Ye Cang had not walked many steps.
Karl's voice sounded again, only this time the voice rang out in front of him.
At this, Ye Cang had to stop whether he wanted to or not.
He looked up.
He saw a person wearing a deep blue, ornate cloak blocking his path; who else could this person be but Karl?
Ye Cang subconsciously reached out to grab at him.
Sure enough, his hand passed right through Karl.
"A projection?"
"Yes, a projection." Karl nodded. "How should I address you?"
"Chief Engineer of Huaxia, Ye Cang," Ye Cang replied.
"Huaxia, Ye Cang?" Karl pondered for a moment, "Kaisha mentioned you before she died, but I didn't take it to heart."
"But I didn't expect you to be able to push Morgana to such a point; you can at least be called a Main God."
"Then, this Main God, may we have a talk?"
As he spoke, Karl's projection walked in the opposite direction and sat down on a chair.
As for Ye Cang, he made no move at all.
Karl thought Ye Cang was being wary of him, so he took the initiative to say: "My name is Karl."
"I am the Death God of the Styx Galaxy, studying death and the Void. By the way, as a Main God, you should have heard of the Ultimate Fear, right?"
"I can..."
Before Karl could finish his sentence, Ye Cang interrupted him mercilessly.
"No need."
"I have nothing to talk about with you. The moment your Taotie Legion invaded Earth, you were destined to be an enemy!"
"When I wipe out all the Taotie, I will definitely lead a great army to slaughter my way to your Styx!"
"Just wait!"
Saying this, Ye Cang started walking again.
Yet even though Ye Cang had spoken so resolutely, Karl still showed no sign of leaving.
Instead, he continued: "Young Main God, I don't care what civilization you are from, and I don't care if you have wiped out the Taotie Legion."
"I feel it is necessary to remind you: when the day of the Ultimate Fear approaches, no one in the entire Universe can escape it, only the Void!"
"Only the Void Arrival can save the entire Universe; only the Void is eternal. I think you should learn about the Void."
Ye Cang:...
How is Karl like a pyramid scheme leader? Always going on about the Ultimate Fear and Void Arrival; it is truly... exasperating!
Shaking his head, Ye Cang turned around.
He then walked to the opposite side of Karl and sat down.
Watching Ye Cang sit down, Karl was very satisfied.
As expected, it was correct to say these things to Ye Cang. Although Ye Cang was not a scholar, he was a Main God—a newly ascended Main God.
And, like himself, he had fostered a civilization, advancing it significantly, and at a speed much faster than his own.
The thoughts and such of such a person must be similar to his own.
Perhaps they could get along well in conversation.
If they could get along, there would be a chance to become part of the same camp and study the Ultimate Fear together.
Hmm, he had not chosen wrong.
Just as Karl felt a bit of excitement in his heart, Ye Cang's words made him frown.
"Originally, I didn't want to waste my breath on you."
"Having said so much, in the end, we still can't avoid settling this with our hands, but since Morgana has already run off and you still have the heart to converse with me, I'll chat for a bit."
"You say that only the Void can counter the Ultimate Fear, and only the Void is eternal; what makes you think so?"
"What, is all of this just based on your own words?"
"If that's the case, can I just make up something at random and say it's the savior?"
Ye Cang's words made Karl frown tightly.
"The Void is eternal; I didn't just say that randomly, I have proof!"
"The most powerful celestial computer in the Universe, the Grand Clock, is in my hands, and this result was naturally calculated by the Grand Clock."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't say it like that."
When Karl said this, he was incredibly earnest and serious.
And when Ye Cang heard this mention of the Grand Clock's calculations, he had already decided what to say.
This thing is nothing more than Mechanical Determinism.
What is Mechanical Determinism?
Simply put, it is viewing the world as a giant machine whose movements and changes can all be calculated through laws.
Nothing more than that.
At first glance, there really doesn't seem to be any problem, such as the four seasons, or telegraph codes.
Right, there is also the most famous example, one of the four great mythical beasts of physics: Laplace's Demon.
I won't go into the details; if you're interested, you can ask Baidu.
However, what if the above encounters Quantum Mechanics?
Then things would be completely different.
I won't say much, just one point.
The Microscopic World is disordered and unpredictable; just this one point is enough to give Mechanical Determinism a real headache.
Ye Cang chuckled.
"Oh, calculated, so that's Mechanical Determinism, is it?"
"You should know what Mechanical Determinism is, so I won't explain it much, Karl."
Karl nodded.
"Yes, I know what Mechanical Determinism is."
"But, from what I hear, you don't seem to agree with Mechanical Determinism."
