I walk in the past, continue the future

Chapter 8 Walking in the Past, Continuing the Future
"The testers meet the standards of the Akashic Primordial Agreement and enter the candidates.

to the final ruling."

As the voice in his mind fell, it seemed that some mechanism had been triggered, and the energy and information flow in the entire void space began to surge, decompose and reorganize.

Around Xia Lian, seven figures of phantoms gradually formed. They had different postures, males and females, but they couldn't see their appearances clearly, and their races seemed to be somewhat different. Some were even three or four meters tall.

Some people wear armor, but some even drive mechs.

Their eyes were all focused on Xia Lian, and at the same time, a series of information flows poured out of him, connecting him with these seven people, and the brilliance formed by the information flow circulated around them.

The first giant spoke first.

"Candidates possess the wisdom of foresight—approval."

Then, the others spoke after him.

"The candidate is not a desireless person - no."

"There is no doubt about the blade wielded by the candidate—approval."

"Candidates can stand up to those who are stronger than themselves - recognition."

"Candidates are not fearless - no."

"Candidates have justice in mind - recognition."

"The candidate is the one who seeks the truth—approval."

The voice in Xia Lian's mind made a final conclusion after the seven people had decided.

"More than four people approved, and the final ruling was passed. The candidate, Xia Lian, officially became the successor."

The voices of the seven people came together, "Approval."

The flow of information poured out from their bodies and flowed into Xia Lian's body following their link with Xia Lian. Countless messages flashed in front of his eyes.

He saw the human beings fighting the beasts with the first tools and the gods in the high above.

He saw the four ancient civilizations gradually take root and sprout on this land, and saw the first industrial revolution, the steam engine spewed steam, and the huge chimneys rose from the ground.

The scene in front of me is passing by rapidly. The second industrial revolution, the third industrial revolution, and the fourth time, human civilization is gradually prospering on the earth, and even out of the interstellar.

The brilliance of the entire human history is displayed in his eyes.

But before Xia Lian thought about it, all his links with these people were broken, and the seven people slowly disappeared in front of him.

Xia Lian came back to his senses and asked in a trance.

"What were those just now?"

"A ruling on your eligibility to be your successor."

"Successor of what?"

"Reasoners, guard the history of mankind and continue the future."

Xia Lian raised his eyebrows and teased, "It doesn't sound like a reward."

"Become a rationale, and you can freely roam the history of mankind before the time-space anchor you are in."

Xia Lian said, "From the perspective of the material world, time itself does not exist, it is an abstract concept created by human beings to facilitate understanding of the universe."

"That is the physical concept of the three-dimensional world. Time has no meaning in the universe, but human history does exist because it has been "recorded" by Akashic."

"I don't understand a little." Xia Lian said.

"There is no need to understand these things, the formation and causation of the entire system cannot be understood by any human being, even if the present person possesses the wisdom bestowed by God.

You just need to understand that you can travel freely in the future, but only from the starting point of human history to the time-space node anchored by the time-space anchor you are in.

You'll need to guard it, but in the vast majority of cases, it won't cause any problems.

Next, I will reincarnate you to the end of human history, which is 1 years after the timeline where you were alive. "

"The end?" Xia Lian seemed to realize something, "In other words, human beings will perish after 1 years?"

"According to the normal trend, yes, the time error will not exceed 100 years."

"Then I was reincarnated there, didn't I join the army in 49?"

"This is the responsibility of the rationale, to continue human history as much as possible. Your predecessor has continued human civilization for 2000 years."

"Does this kind of task become more difficult as the timeline progresses?" Xia Lian said.

"The continuation of mankind in the Stone Age and the continuation of mankind in the Interstellar Age are not the same concept at all.

The destruction of human beings in the Stone Age may have been natural disasters, some beasts, or infectious diseases that could not be cured at that time.

In modern times, the destruction of human civilization may be caused by the outbreak of the Third World War, the washing of the land by nuclear bombs, the inability to live on the earth due to nuclear radiation, or the invasion of aliens.

After 1 years, mankind may have entered the interstellar era, stepped out of the solar system, and began to colonize many planets. What is it that can destroy this civilization?
Internal or external?Omnic?Undead?Or Zerg? "

The voice was silent for a moment, "Nine thousand years after the time point where you were alive, humans have colonized many planets in the galaxy.

However, due to the extensive use of intelligent machinery by humans and the continuous evolution of mechanical intelligence, artificial intelligence has broken through the logical limitations set by humans, and in turn overthrew the old human government and established a new government ruled by AI. .

This time lasts for 200 years. In order to better rule mankind, AI has also carried out cultural extinction for more than 100 years, almost eradicating all the history of the cradle of the human earth.

At that time, some humans even forgot that the first humans were born on earth, thinking that AI ruled human beings for granted.

But among human beings, there are still some Awakeneds who do not want to put the fate of human beings under the absolute control of robots.

So, the war began.

Since almost all starships and weapons were intelligent at that time, in the early stage, the human resistance army, which lacked key weapons, was almost in retreat, but fortunately, the universe was vast enough, so the front line was also long enough for them to deal with it.

Because of the gradual growth of the rebel army, the Supreme Court of the artificial intelligence side has ruled that the productivity of human beings, the resources expended to maintain their survival, is far less than that of machines that consume the same resources, and the desire to self-destruct Power is the source of chaos.

Therefore, there is no need for existence, and a genocide order was issued.

But it is precisely because of this genocide order that more and more human beings have joined the camp against the mechanical government.

Because of the star-to-star distances, the extent of the war was infinitely stretched and lasted longer than imagined.

The conflict between the two sides lasted for nearly 1000 years, known as the Kul Jihad in history.

Of course, the reason why the jihad was called the Kule Jihad was actually named after a girl from a certain family.

Her name is Joan of Arc Keller. "

"The name is inexplicably flawed." Xia Lian said.

"She is your ex-manager, a cultist," the voice continued.

Xia Lian nodded, "The name of the saint who ended the Hundred Years War between Britain and France should be to make myself like this saint and lead mankind to end this long war.

Looks like she succeeded. "

"Under her leadership, and through 60 years of war, she reversed the fate of mankind's eventual destruction and continued for 2000 years for mankind."

However, the thousand-year war has greatly damaged the vitality of mankind. The human community of the past has disappeared, and many colonized planets have lost their coordinates and disconnected.

There are even some planets whose civilization level has directly retreated to the technological level of the 21st century.

And, after the war, Joan of Arc established a supreme law of mankind: "You shall not create a machine that mirrors the consciousness of man."

That is, "the use of artificial intelligence is absolutely prohibited, and humans cannot be replaced."

Xia Lian frowned, "Isn't this a bit overkill? Artificial intelligence is a creation of human beings. Since it is a creation, there must be a way to make it grow according to its own ideas, and put an end to rebellion."

"Whether it's overkill, and whether it's foresight, can only be judged by history.

The amount of data that humans and computers generate is far beyond the ability of human biology to absorb, interpret, and make complex decisions based on it.

Artificial intelligence forms the basis of all computer learning, represents the future of all complex decisions, and represents the foundation of almost all key technologies after humans enter the information age.

To put an end to artificial intelligence means to put an end to the development of information and computers, which has set back human civilization for thousands of years.

It directly affects all aspects of human life, including long-distance interstellar travel.

And the human beings at this time are far weaker than the previous human beings.

The enemies they face may not be as powerful as the omnic legion. "

"Your words make me feel like an old general on the stage." Xia Lian said helplessly, "Should I cooperate with you and say that I will go back to my hometown to get married after the task is completed?"

"If you don't want to carry out this task now, you can just find a historical node to live. The reason why you are reincarnated into the future is to set a space-time anchor for you, so that you have the cornerstone of existence.

Of course, you need to be careful not to easily interfere with the historical process, which will threaten the stability of the entire timeline.

Because you do not belong to the time-space before the time-space anchor.

Therefore, in these histories, you are immortal, and your lifespan will not increase in any way, even if you commit suicide, it is just a return to the time node where the time-space anchor is located. "

"That is to say, I now have two choices, in this tens of thousands of years of human history, to live forever, or to complete this task?"

"Yes, if you have a longer precipitation, the greater the success rate of completing this task.

Oh yes, you have God-given wisdom, and it doesn't actually make a difference. "

Xia Lian fell silent, he could understand the meaning of the voice, immortality is a great temptation for many people, but no one likes things that are forever the same.

The tens of thousands of years of human history is very long, but no matter how long it is, there is an end. At the end of time and space, what awaits him may be endless cycles and loneliness, parting and sadness.

In other words, there should be no one who is not afraid that at the end of those endless years, they will eventually choose to end their lives one day.

Of course, for any human being, it is a great blessing to be able to cruise through history, to witness countless epics and landscapes, and to have an eternal life as long as one thinks about it.

This guy is right, compared to a mediocre life, this reward is worthy of the evaluation of SSS.

At this level, ending with the epic task of continuing human history is a great reward.
