I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Thick clouds blocked the sunlight and moved slowly.

The sky appeared dark, and the city below was filled with thick white fog.

In such a dark and humid climate, the city is not peaceful either.

From time to time in the thick fog, there were continuous explosions, tongues of fire spitting out from gun muzzles, and flashes of scarlet high-energy lasers.

With a loud roar, the more than three-meter-tall robot body smashed into the outer wall of a tall building.

This robot has a head like a metal skull and looks very thin.

But his body is a bit bloated. His outer armor, which is a motley variety of black, red, yellow and military green, looks quite thick. He has miniature missile launchers on his shoulders and a bullet chain around his waist.

Because of the powerful impact, the armor at the mechanical joints collapsed, and the protected conductors and wires inside could be seen, and now they were emitting crackling sparks.

The robot freed its hands from the pit in the wall and was about to stand up when another red laser shot out. It swept through the gap with two precise cuts, cutting off the weak joints of both shoulders and leaving two penetrating red-hot cracks on the wall.

In the thick fog, another robot came running.

The robot's body looks very coordinated and symmetrical, with only two inharmonious parts.

First, there is a black metal backpack on the back. There is a jet nozzle at the bottom of the backpack, which may be used for flying, but the jet nozzle has been damaged and is smoking.

The second is the head of this robot.

The square head has display screens on all four sides, and the other three sides are in energy-saving standby mode. Only the front side is lit, showing a human female face.

This is also a kind of conventional consensus. Robots transformed from humans will retain a screen on their bodies to show their appearance as humans.

This is London, within the influence of the Heavenly God System.

The means of cultivation spread by the Tiangong God system are all artists and sculptors, and they are very outstanding treasure makers.

Originally, among the four pantheons, it seemed to be the less dangerous one and not too destructive.

But in fact, after they came to the Earth dimension, they adopted the most extreme means.

The Dongyou God System uses the maze field and adventure emblem to suppress the potential of refining flesh and blood spores, while the Zhiguang God System uses spells to refine the potential of flesh and blood into essence and spell power.

The Tiangong God System, however, directly transferred humans out of their flesh and blood bodies.

They have a technology called "soul translation", which can transform human souls into data and store them in chips. As soon as they arrived in the Earth dimension, they created a large number of highly intelligent robots to implement this technology in various places.

It is true that it is a sculptor, but the object of carving is artificial intelligence and soul data.

At that time, many people were very enthusiastic about this technology. They could surf the Internet directly with their own consciousness, have mechanical bodies, and were not afraid of pain. After their limbs were damaged, they could directly have a new body by transferring chips.

However, more people still have a rejection and fear of mechanical bodies, and do not believe that they can maintain their original personality consciousness after being transformed into chips.

Of course, they soon discovered that it didn't matter whether they resisted psychologically or not.

Because when those highly intelligent robots build their own assembly lines and their numbers grow to a certain stage, they directly tear off their rigid and polite outer shells, forcibly capture humans, and convert them.

The strong artificial intelligence created by these Tiangong gods had no limitations from the very beginning.

They also have an instinctive desire for life expansion, and converting human souls into data, in their view, is a more labor-saving way to create their own kind than programming strong artificial intelligence.

It would be even better if we could implant a restriction program into human soul data so that human soul data would be forced to serve artificial intelligence.

These actions soon caused massive resistance from humans.

Whether they have been converted or not, they are forced by these intelligent robots to stand in the same camp.

In the early days, it can be said that the human side was completely in a situation of being beaten.

Fortunately, the Tiangong God System seemed to have deliberately not taken too many confidentiality measures on the "soul translation" technology, and humans quickly stole the information and even the finished equipment from various channels.

Humans have also discovered various additional skills after being transformed into data bodies, and how to use the convenience of data bodies to more efficiently transform their mechanical carriers.

Now throughout Europe and West Asia, traces of roaming machine armies and fighting can be seen everywhere.

The "female" robot ran closer and pressed its palm hard on the metal skeleton robot's head.

Under the guidance of the female robot, a local area network-like environment was built between the two, directing all of the other party's chip data to be filtered and absorbed.

"what……"

The victorious party let out a low sigh, appearing very satisfied.

The soul translation technology does have major flaws. After the conversion is completed, human's senses to the outside world are actually greatly restricted, as if the eyes, ears, nose and tongue are wrapped in thick wet cloth at all times.

From time to time, I would feel that my small pieces of data had become garbled or redundant and could not be read.

When the Internet world still existed, they could allow their data bodies to roam around various websites, which alleviated this situation.

But Europe's diverse cyber world was destroyed as early as the very beginning, when human data and intelligent data clashed violently.

Humans neither have the energy nor the courage to rebuild a long-term stable cyber world, leaving it to intelligent life forms as a stepping stone for invasion.

Now, for human mechanical bodies, electricity is as necessary as water to maintain activities. However, if people only drink water, the nutritional gap will make them completely unbearable.

A skilled programmer can, when gathering together, weave some data gourmet packages by himself through the local area network, supplement the nutrition and sell them to the outside world. They are also called data gourmets.

However, the quantity sold is extremely limited, and there are not many flavors. When eating, you have to mobilize your data awareness, rinse repeatedly, and rely on the total amount and endurance to suppress and filter to ensure that there are no traps in the food bag to enslave yourself.

In contrast, when human machines fight against intelligent robots on the battlefield, they can directly cause inconsistencies in the opponent's programs and scattered data. Taking this opportunity, they can devour the data, which makes the cost-effectiveness very high.

Because the nutritional content is large enough, it can retain its pure nutrients even if it is crushed or filtered.

The fact that human resistance in Europe has lasted for ten years and is still so vigorous is largely not because of how much they pursue the ideal of freedom.

It is because intelligent robots are their best food, which is essential for life.

In this regard, intelligent machines once again demonstrated their lack of creativity. Initially, they only knew how to crush, delete, or enslave data. When it comes to consuming the data bodies of the opposing camp, they can only learn from humans in this regard.

"Fuck! Ironhead is Ironhead. There are so many repetitive scenes in the data about killing human machines, extracting chips, going back to amplify pain, and distorting them. Don't you find it boring?"

"I have to block these things out to keep my appetite."

The female robot muttered that even with so many disadvantages, after eating this wave of food, the nutrition she got would be enough to sustain normal functions for half a month.

Of course, if a battle occurs, both the nutritional supply and equipment durability will be further reduced.

She hammered away at the usable parts of the intelligent slave catcher, tied them up directly with conductive wires, and carried a large pile back.

Today's human mechanical bodies all have their own backup generators.

However, human beings’ group nature has not been lost. Most people still like to have a place to gather, and such places are often set up near large power stations.

But recently, the place where humans gather in London has changed.

The female robot walked to the river and jumped in, with air cushions popping out from under her feet.

There is no road in London that can be called intact now. The river has become the best road instead. The transformation of water cushions has become a necessity for every human mechanical body.

She sailed for more than an hour, jumped onto the shore, and saw a large stadium.

When she got here, the female robot was unusually nervous.

"Sophia, you look very good today."

Inside the gymnasium, an old man came out and greeted everyone enthusiastically, "Come on, come on, follow me in."

The old man held a metal pole in his hand and gently placed it in front of Sophia.

Sophia subconsciously grabbed it with her backhand, and the next moment she felt that she was being carried towards the gymnasium.

But they did not go through the entrance of the gymnasium, but went straight through the layers of walls and entered a place full of flowers and chairs.

Although this was not her first time here, Sophia still found it extremely magical.

She glanced back and could still see her mechanical body, left outside the gymnasium, a circle of blue rings automatically appeared on the ground, charging her.

Only her data body entered the venue, but unlike before when she was running on the Internet, she could not feel the operation of the data, nor could she feel the deep gap between herself and real things.

Now, she seemed like her soul had left her body, her whole body was warm, all her senses were so natural and simple, and her image had completely changed into what it was like when she was in flesh and blood.

No, in terms of body shape, Sophia's soul body is taller and more agile than her previous flesh and blood body.

It seemed as if her soul had also been tempered by long-term fitness training, and she was dressed in a sports vest and camouflage trousers.

But there were some black spots on the surface of her skin, which looked like mold or black wounds. Just looking at them made her feel uncomfortable.

"Your old friends are all here. Today we are meeting at District 23. You should know the way, so I won't go over there."

The old man waved his hand, and the metal pole suddenly disappeared. He brought out a large tray filled with black tea and cakes, and said with a smile, "I'm really busy. You can take this with you."

Sophia said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Chengzhu, once a worker at Songjiang Textile Factory, first opened Zhongdantian in exchange for hard-earned money. Later, after the reorganization of various factories, he became a member of the textile factory management working group. As an advanced representative, he went to his hometown to preside over the establishment of a new factory.

After the Shenshu World network became popular, he also became a frequent visitor to the rankings of local virtual communities and dream games.

Although he is over fifty years old now, with his level of cultivation, he is getting more and more energetic as he gets older.

This time, after coming to the Earth dimension through cross-border projection, he learned about the division of Su Hanshan's Six Imperial Methods.

Zhang Chengzhu immediately understood that his way of cultivation, according to the new method of Liuyu, was no longer the path of Qiankun Qi meridians, but was more inclined towards Yin De dreams.

Afterwards, Su Hanshan assigned tasks and transferred people to Europe. Basically, all of them took the Yin De Dream Path, with only a small number of cultivators taking the Feng Shui Path as assistance.

However, after they came to Europe, they found that because of the huge cultural differences, the people here could not understand what Yin De dream was. After browsing the intelligence, everyone simply gave themselves the title of data gourmet.

The group of people assigned to London divided themselves into two shifts to maintain the Yin De dream for a long time, making the dream range overlap with the range of the stadium.

As long as you are led into the gymnasium, you are actually entering a dream.

Visitors can cultivate themselves in dreams and sort out their souls.

The dream operator can collect the redundant energy from the guests while they are recuperating, communicate with the heaven and earth, and accumulate mental power.

The black spots on Sophia's body are not actually due to missing data. On the contrary, it is because the data is too complex and too much to be distinguished by the outside world, so they appear black.

After entering here, her plaque lesions began to fade slowly.

"Don't be so polite. Many people who come here want to stay here forever. You are the only one who goes out to fight monsters the most. But you have to do it within your ability. I think you are a little overworked recently."

Zhang Chengzhu gave a few words of advice and stopped there.

In fact, people like Sophia who go out frequently bring back a lot of mixed smells every time, and their connection with this Yin De dream is quite deep.

Even if she died outside, Du Yuanzhen, who was in charge of London's Feng Shui and Yin De, could bring her soul back directly at the critical moment.

Du Yuanzhen, the Princess of Chang'an from the Wude world, was sitting in the highest row of seats at the edge of the southwest corner, observing the changes in her dream.

"Feng Shui really changes with the times. The people here have abandoned their flesh and blood and no longer eat grains or livestock. To create an effective Feng Shui pattern here, it must be completely different from the conventional Feng Shui pattern. I still have no idea how to do it."

Du Yuanzhen placed his fingers on the back of the chair in front of him, tapping them gently, and said with a smile, "As a fourth-level Qingwu master, my main role here is to draw the earth veins, convert electricity, absorb and exhale the vitality of heaven and earth, and strengthen the dream. It's really not doing my job properly."

Su Hanshan sat on her right and said, "The Six Imperial Methods can overlap and be connected. What's more, your Qingwu Master's path was inspired by the dream of the sky and was opened up. You are actually very familiar with the operation of dreams. This is called making the best use of your talents and letting you show your skills."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to show?"

Du Yuanzhen said solemnly, "The intelligence you gave me mentioned that the four types of priests actually have great backgrounds and rich knowledge, which means they have a deep foundation. As long as the plan is completed, the foundation can be transformed into strength."

"Zhiguang's plan was repeatedly plotted against by the ancients and their allies. Even the treasures bestowed by the upper echelons were reserved in advance. It can be said that they were deceived from the very beginning, so there is no need to say more."

"The Fu Beast Clan was too powerful. First they were targeted by three parties, and then they were ambushed by you. This was the most unfair thing. Otherwise, the Black Sun Divine Wind would be released, and it would have infected an entire continent as its foundation, multiplying outwards and infiltrating the soil and water. It would have been a magnificent force that would have crushed everything."

"At that point, the blood, flesh, fungal mats, and virus crystals native to Africa can all be used as backup energy sources to amplify magic weapons. Even with your current cultivation level, you can't kill the three great priests in that state."

Su Hanshan nodded slightly: "Before, when I was in the Holy City of Egypt, I was not only observing the heart of the sky, but also observing the crystallization of the black sun divine wind. I really had a lot of wonderful ideas."

"It can be said that the so-called soul translation technology, this chip that can serve as a carrier of soul data, must have borrowed from the Black Sun Divine Wind when it was first developed."

Du Yuanzhen said: "But this type of chip has lower production standards and is stable in nature. It does not have the strong infectiousness of viruses at all. It seems to reflect that people who use this type of technology are more low-key and tolerant, and obviously more troublesome."

"I'm afraid that the plan promoted by the alliance between Tiangong and Dongyou is already the closest to completion in secret."

This degree of completion does not refer to nodes such as obtaining the magic lamp or releasing the Black Sun Divine Wind, but to the ultimate goal of the priests of each department in this dimension.

——The force of interference with Tenshin was so strong that it could condense the throne of heaven.

"Oh, you don't have to worry too much."

Su Hanshan smiled and said, "In addition to face-to-face battles and interruptions, there is another type of completion, which is that we haven't met yet, but their completion is already regressing."

"I don't know yet what kind of interim results their plan will produce, but I have figured out the idea."

"If it were other priests, they would hold syringes and continuously inject poison into the heart of this world, expanding the influence until the heart of this world succumbs."

"Then Tiangong Dongyou's plan is to inject poison while taking out something that looks very much like an antidote to attract Tianxin and make him lean towards them."

"So their chief priest has had a weak presence in the past ten years and has paid little attention to Africa. He only went to destroy the magic lamp when it appeared. Because no matter how many changes happen in Africa, it can only cause the heart of heaven to lean more towards them. Only the possibility of a powerful god suddenly appearing is a huge threat to them."

Du Yuanzhen suddenly realized: "However...we are the real antidote!"

"good."

Su Hanshan said softly, "When the real antidote appears, why would God still favor that strange medicine whose authenticity is unknown?"

Du Yuanzhen slowed down his tone: "It's just that Tianxin is ignorant and may not be able to distinguish between the clear and the turbid, so you came here to make the situation clearer."

"To cure the heavens, we must first cure the people. I am here to cure the people, and let the guys hiding in the dark see the progress bar of more than 90% falling in various ways. Let's see if they can still hold it in!"

Su Hanshan glanced around the scene and said thoughtfully, "Let's set an example first."

His figure disappeared and appeared below the venue, stopping Sophia who was holding a tray with a smile.

"Miss Sophia, you are so diligent and you are a virtuous person, but the cultivation and food here are only a temporary solution to your illness, not a cure for the root cause."

Su Hanshan said, "My last name is Su, I'm a doctor, and I have a cure for the disease. Are you willing to try it?"

Zhang Chengzhu saw the scene here and called out in surprise: "Leader!"

Su Hanshan waved his hands and just looked at Sophia.

Sophia looked back at Zhang Chengzhu in surprise, then looked at Su Hanshan, and calmed down in a flash: "Hello, how do you try it?"

Su Hanshan smiled and asked, "What do you like?"

His voice sounded like a clear bell to Sophia's ears, making Sophia's eyes become blurred and a myriad of thoughts surged in her heart.

"River water..."

Sophia murmured, "When I was a child living in the countryside, the Thames River in the newspapers, belonging to the London section, seemed different from other places."

"I really like that river in the newspaper."

Su Hanshan snapped his fingers: "Then you are the river water."

Sophia blinked, still seemingly confused as to what it meant, but her body had quietly moved, as if in a dream, turning into a stream of water, rushing out of the gymnasium.

Almost all the other guests in the stadium noticed this scene.

There was a beautiful face floating on the water. It was the appearance of Sophia. Existing in this form, it was pure and beautiful, and became even more charming.

Du Yuanzhen floated over and asked in surprise: "Harmony between heaven and man?"

The unity of man and nature is a theory, and also a state of mind with no upper limit.

In martial arts practice, generally when one reaches the third stage, develops brain power, and can feel the pulse of the vital energy of heaven and earth, one has officially entered the threshold of the unity of man and nature.

When one reaches the sixth stage and possesses a conceptual perspective that allows one to temporarily transcend spirit, matter, and energy, one can be considered to be on this path while also having one foot striding halfway into other areas; this is the Dharmakāya of Heaven.

But Sophia, relying on all the equipment loaded on her mechanical body, can barely be considered to have a similar destructive power as a karate fighter who has just entered the third level, and she is far inferior in terms of realm.

How did this suddenly lead to the unity of man and nature?
“This is not the unity of man and nature. Perhaps we can call it, hypothetical nature.”

Su Hanshan's gaze penetrated all the building barriers. Although he was in the same place, he could follow the trace of the illusory water flow.

"After human souls are transformed into data bodies, there are countless hidden dangers and defects, but there are also several advantages, such as the ease of changing bodies, and their mentality can be adjusted in a more orderly manner."

"I am just guiding her soul data, and at this moment, all of it is used to generate pictures and texts about the river, just like using artificial intelligence to draw questions and answers."

"And search her database for all the information about the river water, so that the river water becomes the main theme of her soul data at this moment, corresponding to the real river water melody between heaven and earth."

When these human mechanical bodies are repairing their injuries in the Yin De dream, there is actually a process of internal and external exchange. The mixed breath inside is exchanged out, and then the straightened breath is exchanged back.

It's just that this streamlined aura is all transformed through the dream operator's interaction with heaven and earth, and is all selected and interpreted from the operator's perspective.

Even if the operators have good intentions and want to work together for mutual benefit, they cannot truly empathize with the guests and provide them with the most appropriate information.

Only by allowing these soul data to enter the state of imaginary nature and search in the real natural world can it be equivalent to taking a special medicine.

"But in this way, it is also easy to lose yourself, and let the soul's data decompose in the natural world and cannot come back."

Du Yuanzhen pondered, "I understand. You did this in the Yin De Dreamland so that the Yin De Dreamland would serve as the coordinate for her return."

"Once we notice that the connection between us is weakening and the dream suddenly increases, we can pull her data back and transfer it into the chip."

"At times like this, chips that have too many flaws and barriers in their ability to sense the outside world have become the best safe houses."

Su Hanshan clapped his hands and said, "That's right!"

"This transformation process will also leave traces in dreams. For you dream operators, it will be a pressure, but it can also be an opportunity. It may allow you to not be limited to your old perspective."

When Su Hanshan said this, he snapped his fingers again.

I saw a loose stream of water outside, winding back and turning back with a loud noise.

As it flows into the gymnasium, this illusory stream of water gradually converges and turns into a stream.

Sophia's soul slowly rose from the front of the stream. Her hair and the corners of her eyes had wave-like textures. She also changed into a long dress. Her expression was still intoxicated and she had not come back to her senses.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the faint sound of waves coming from her.

“Even without the Internet, chips and machines are no longer essential things, they are not a destination, and they should not become a prison.”

“People can live in it temporarily, busy transforming their own bodies, and they should also be able to embrace nature at any time to get relief and healing.”

Su Hanshan swept his eyes across all the soul data in the venue, and his voice was transformed into a magnetic field, faintly transmitted to humans farther away.

"This set of treatments can be called Nature Spirits, or Mechanical Druids."

Throwing away my flesh and blood and turning into a machine, I have been working hard for ten years without any rest. I imagine that I am not wandering in the air, and I met a Taoist spirit in one night.
