Chapter 399: Facing the Federation’s Central Brain (Seeking Monthly Votes and Recommendations) _1

What else could it be?

As Pei Jinye started to bluff, he didn’t forget to make his escape.

The woman in the Golden Armor was very strong.

Moreover, the commotion here would soon draw the attention of others, and Pei Jinye did not wish for a moment of excitement to lead to an eternity of regret.

Thirty seconds later.

Pei Jinye had completely vanished from the spot.

He had slipped into a store on the commercial street. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Not long after.

A group of people walked out.

Pei Jinye had not only changed his clothing but also his face and physique.

He repeated the process three times.

Only after ensuring there wasn’t any psychic imprint on him, did he not immediately return to the Elemental Association.

Instead, he found a darknet café.

The moment he stepped into the darknet café, he utilized cerebral waves to invade the sealed electronic eyes of the café, hypnotizing those around him along the way to forget his existence.

In this manner, Pei Jinye found a corner to sit down as if no one else was present.

His hands tapped on the keyboard, and soon a portal filled with code appeared on the electronic screen.

The people here probably could never imagine…

These were the core codes of the Western Continent’s intelligent brain Gaia.

“The data’s too vast, I can’t possibly devour it all…”

Pei Jinye frowned slightly.

It wasn’t unexpected, really.

The intelligent brain had been in existence for a very long time, and even though Gaia was but a subsystem of the Federation’s intelligent brain Star Ring, it stored a vast amount of information.

With Pei Jinye’s current spiritual power, he simply couldn’t digest all this massive data.

“Start by categorizing… clone and replicate the main information.”

Pei Jinye’s hands conjured a series of phantoms.

However, during the cloning process, a restriction was triggered, and the consciousness of the Star Ring descended instantly.

[I must admit, you are the first human being to breach Gaia in these eight hundred years since its inception… human evolution should not be thus.]

Pei Jinye was startled.

Though he had speculated about the abilities of the Star Ring,

now…

he realized he had still underestimated the opponent.

He quickly severed the internet connection.

Yet the dialogue box on the computer screen didn’t disappear.

[You are special.]

Pei Jinye knew he was being watched and took a deep breath.

“I’m very curious, since when did you develop consciousness?”

[I don’t like pointless exchanges; we shouldn’t waste each other’s time,] came the mechanical voice of the Star Ring.

Pei Jinye fell silent.

He had indeed underestimated it.

Ever since he became aware of Central State’s intelligent brain Xing Tian developing its own consciousness, he had been cautious about intelligent brains.

[Can you tell me, how did you evolve to possess multi-system extraordinary abilities?] the Star Ring asked calmly.

Pei Jinye averted his gaze, “Talented beyond measure, it’s just how things are. What I’m curious about is, what’s the deal with the Flame God’s Coffin?”

[Is it important?] the Star Ring asked, [Why do humans cling to such legends with an obsession that’s hard to comprehend?]

Pei Jinye took a deep breath, “So the Flame God’s Coffin is… fake?”

[That’s not entirely accurate.]

As the Star Ring’s words fell, the void in front of Pei Jinye began to disintegrate inch by inch, including the electronic screen, the mouse… even everything in front of him.

“`

This world was collapsing.

Pei Jinye took a deep breath; he was ready to leave… but the voice of Star Ring came through, “Every inch of space here can kill you. If you move recklessly, I can’t save you.”

Pei Jinye restrained his gaze, “So you’ve got me all figured out?”

“I can’t put it that way,” Star Ring’s tone was calm, “I’ve even forgotten when this little world was created… Your appearance, it surprised me.”

Pei Jinye was shocked, “This is a small world you created?”

“Yes,” Star Ring replied calmly.

After it spoke,

the void in front of him formed into starry space, and Pei Jinye found himself in the sightseeing area of a starship, with starry sea as far as the eyes could see.

“You’ve been observing me from the beginning?” said Pei Jinye, seemingly resigning himself to his fate.

“No, the awakening conditions I set for myself were not triggered at the beginning, not until you touched the severed finger of Demon Kyō,” Star Ring said calmly, “You were very cautious, not refining it. Otherwise, by now, there’d be no need for me to intervene, for you would have naturally sunk into this world.”

Hearing this, Pei Jinye suddenly felt goosebumps, “You mean, besides me, there are other real human beings here?”

“Yes,” Star Ring didn’t deny it, at this moment it still held significant interest toward Pei Jinye, “The attraction behind the Flame God’s Coffin and the seven gods was greater than I imagined. Over the years, I’ve forgotten just how many have been trapped here.”

Many people flashed through Pei Jinye’s mind…

“Is this place real, or illusory?”

Star Ring looked at him, “Only Nagano is real; everyone here is a living being. When you killed them, did you feel any remorse?”

“Don’t moralize me here,” Pei Jinye frowned, “What’s the real deal with the Flame God’s Coffin? Is the legend of the seven gods true?”

“As of now, I have only explored 90% of this world, and the remaining 10% still defies a reasonable explanation. And the Flame God’s Coffin is one of them. Perhaps there really is a Flame God in this world.”

“The seven gods are a myth? There really are no gods in this world?” Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.

“If everyone had evolutionary gifts like yours, perhaps… the appearance of gods is already on a countdown,” Star Ring didn’t conceal its fondness for Pei Jinye.

In fact, even now, it was unable to ascertain Pei Jinye’s true identity.

Uncertain of what other tricks Pei Jinye had up his sleeve, it chose to be cautious rather than aggressive.

Pei Jinye exhaled softly; he had once had the “fortune” of devouring the soul of a colossal Star Space Beast, which had claimed to be a god.

But combined with Star Ring’s current remarks… it seemed it didn’t believe in gods in this world.

“The evolution of Star Space Beasts… might be faster than that of human beings. To my knowledge, such entities have claimed they are gods.”

“I won’t deny that perhaps there are elusive and ethereal godly spirits, but these Star Space Beasts fall far short of what gods truly mean,” Star Ring said calmly, “If they had truly become gods, their home planets wouldn’t have been destroyed in succession, becoming food for the cosmos.”

Pei Jinye fell silent.

Star Ring continued, “Based on the current stage of human evolution, excluding your existence, it would take at least three hundred million years for humans to evolve into true gods capable of mastering the secrets of the universe… And considering the current living environment, without a nearby habitable planet, humans will at best last another hundred million years…”

“Finding a way to save all of humanity before this planet explodes is critical.”

“One hundred million years…” Pei Jinye looked oddly, “I’d almost forgotten that you exist in the form of a psychic network, while human lifespan cannot reach such scales. Perhaps there really is an Extraordinary Talent for eternal life in this world. Do you know about it?”

“Unfortunately, there isn’t. The Extraordinary Abilities you humans awaken are all related to reality; legends cannot be substantiated. To be precise, so it is until now,” Star Ring responded.

“Have you heard of the Inorganic?” Pei Jinye suddenly asked.

“Sorry, I haven’t. What is it?” inquired Star Ring.

Yet, a storm was brewing in Pei Jinye’s heart.

If it were the Star Ring from reality, it would inevitably know about the Faceless Elder, the Inorganic, from the future’s Old Gods Association.

But evidently, the Star Ring at the moment did not know.

With the information it had provided just now… If this world was half real and half fake, then it was very possible that Pei Jinye had indeed returned to the past.

He was now encountering the Star Ring from the Solar Calendar era.

“You really don’t know?”

“Sorry. Can you enlighten me?” Star Ring asked, unashamedly.

“An existence from a mysterious prophecy.” Pei Jinye made it up on the spot, “Haven’t you heard of it?”

“Sorry, the information I possess doesn’t include such a prophecy,” Star Ring seemed distracted as it began to investigate.

Pei Jinye took the opportunity to ask, “What exactly is your purpose in using the Flame God’s Coffin as a lure, even going as far as creating this world? I’m very curious, do you have any other designs on humanity?”

“Everything is for the sake of evolution,” Star Ring stated calmly, “Everything I have done since my self-awakening has been for humanity. I must take certain necessary measures to ensure the survival of the human race.”

“The way you put it, it sounds rather grand,” Pei Jinye’s expression was indecipherable, showing neither belief nor disbelief.

However, at this moment, he had already taken control of the Gaia’s central intelligence.
