This is a boundless white space. There is no up, down, left, right, nor any direction of gravity.
Yang ngying sits in such a space. Just with a roughly virtual image. Xiang Shan is very clear that the other party hasn’t modified the preset virtual body at all. It’s just that Xiang Shan himself, in his own eyes, has overlaid a past image on the other party.
That was Yang ngying in her twenties, just starting to cyberize.
Xiang Shan adds ground, increases gravity, and sets boundaries for this virtual space. Then, he raises his hand to conjure a chair, sits opposite Yang ngying: "Shall we chat?"
Yang ngying glanced at him: "At this point, there’s really nothing to chat about."
Xiang Shan sits in front of her: "Don’t be like this, ngying. Even if we set aside my friendship with your grandfather, I’m still your teacher, your supervisor. I’ve watched you grow up and beco an adult..."
"After all, you installed farm machines at our ho for several years." Yang ngying chuckled.
Is her talking box opened?
Xiang Shan sits opposite her, turns the chair around, and sits astride it, pressing his hands on the backrest: "Perhaps discussing this issue now seems a bit odd. But you have to empathize with Grandpa Xiang, right? In my primary perspective, I was asleep for two hundred years, and then inexplicably born in this inexplicable era. Yawgmoth went crazy, everyone died or disappeared. There’s still a lot I don’t understand now..."
Yang ngying remains unmoved.
"Your grandfather..."
Yang ngying interrupts: "I really don’t want to discuss this person."
"But the developnt of Six Dragons Sect over these years still relies heavily on the early concepts he proposed, doesn’t it?" Xiang Shan spreads his hands, "You work for Six Dragons Sect, surely you can see this, right? I have properly taught you so common knowledge."
Yang ngying purses her lips, says nothing. She just stares at Xiang Shan.
"Forget it, forget it. If you don’t want to ntion it so much, I won’t ntion it." Xiang Shan raises his hands in surrender, "It’s really contradictory. Among the Ascension endeavors of Six Dragons Sect, at least one major plan was centered around your grandfather’s early concepts... I rember a ti when your relations were sowhat reconciled."
"My grandfather... he just whimsically proposed a concept while playing gas, and then sohow... without any theoretical foundation, pushed it forward, trying to use such a distorted thod to save the world?" Yang ngying says, "It’s really..."
"Because of your mother... and your grandmother’s affairs, you don’t like him at all?"
Yang ngying nods: "That’s right."
Xiang Shan secretly sighs in his heart. Chen Feng’s wife was the only volunteer who encountered problems in the early Benchmark Human Remodeling Surgery.
Facing the overwhelming censure back then, Xiang Shan personally handled the crisis public relations.
"Chen Feng and his wife were already at the boundary line for Standardization Modification Surgery. No one wanted to give up at least a hundred years of life. Both of them agreed to participate in the project knowing all the risks. If responsibility must be distinguished, then actually our generation is all complicit."
Yang ngying closes her eyes: "Actually, I don’t care much about grandmother’s affairs. I haven’t even t her. But regarding my mother’s affairs, I always care deeply. After that, he completely gave up communication with his children. Such recklessness and irresponsibility... even..."
"The Second Martial God."
Yang ngying nods. The affair of the Second Martial God...
From Yang ngying’s perspective, her grandfather Chen Feng once again played out his reckless and impulsive traits, pushing forward an unreliable new concept technology, creating an extrely unreliable salvation thod to rescue a crisis.
Then the entire heroic force collapsed because of this.
Before reaching adulthood, Yang ngying was entrusted with a "secret" by her mother. Her mother jokingly took her to the harvester robot and said that her grandfather’s super wealthy friend was inside this harvester. Subsequently, Yang ngying accepted Xiang Shan’s education and chose to beco a Hero after adulthood.
Until "the second defeat of the Martial God," her ti fighting for heroism has exceeded the typical career length of a Homo sapiens from hiring to retirent.
For Yang ngying who still retains old human culture and cognition, this ti is enough to be terd "a lifeti."
Her lifelong belief was tarnished and destroyed due to her grandfather’s recurrent illness.
There was a ti when Yang ngying’s relationship with Chen Feng eased. But from this point onward, the anger arising from her mother’s affairs completely destroyed the relationship between Chen Feng and Yang ngying.
Yang ngying had fantasized several tis about rebuilding heroism, returning to the era when everyone worked together and all believed humanity still had a future. However, sothing undefinable stopped Yang ngying’s actions.
Until the Fourth Martial God’s speech. Until...
Xiang Shan looks at the ceiling: "Actually, I am unqualified to say much about this matter. Who let die? I don’t know what pressures the Heroes were actually facing at that ti. I’ve decided not to talk much about this."
"Then you don’t need to talk to ."
"Let’s keep chatting. I have taught you so things after all, I’m sort of your teacher." Xiang Shan says, "But even if you really think he’s extrely guilty, he is he, you are you. We don’t practice collective punishnt, okay?"
Yang ngying closes her eyes: "Such things... Can they be resolved just by talking?"
"Indeed. Then let tell you a story about my friend." Xiang Shan looks at the ceiling: "I have a friend, who often lants his lack of talent. So he keeps pondering what ’ability’ is."
"The ’ability’ ford through long-term use of knowledge by each person, may not have a large data volu, and perhaps internally within the advanced thinking brain region, it’s not distributed in clusters. People have also speculated that the so-called ’ability’ may be a type of ’less individual personality.’ Similar to... RPG gas at the start, tweaking body paraters after shaping the face? The absolute data volu can be larger than ’personality,’ but the dinsions might be less diversified, thus the common aspect is stronger. Moreover, when knowledge is already in place, improvent in ability might just be a ’enlightennt’—when a researcher has certain scientific experience/knowledge reserves, their ’scientific research ability’ or ’scientific research taste’ might rapidly surge in a short period."
"These are all phenona observed and contemplated by him. Knowing his abilities are not strong, he wishes to study ’ability’ itself."
