This is all of Kael's mories regarding the [Global Invasion] incident, but now it seems, things aren't that simple?
"If only everything were really that simple... In reality, the [Global Invasion] ga incident was used to hide another undisclosed incident, deliberately used to divert attention.
Or to put it plainly… at that ti, [Global Invasion] took on a part of the Human Federation's experintation on converting 'human consciousness' into 'conceptual consciousness'.
Back then, the Human Federation used the consciousness of death row prisoners to conduct nurous tests in that ga, laying the [Reinforcent Future] plan's core 'electronic life recovery' technological foundation.
It is under this premise that we had the possibility for the Human Federation's revival in the future. Part of this technology is pure scientific technology, while another part is an unstable technology developed further from the professional technology I introduced.
If we had followed our original expectations, there wouldn't have been any issues, but plans never keep pace with change. The electronic life recovery experint got out of control, and a significant number of unstable young Spirit Bodies were affected, silently getting swept into the experint.
By the ti we realized there was a problem, we could only pull so of the children back into this world. The vast majority, however, turned into electronic life, forever sealed in that world.
In fact, the Global Invasion incident that day was an information disguise made to hide the electronic life recovery technology. At that ti, remnants still worshiping the deities lingered within the Human Federation, intent on helping the deities pry open the Human Federation's doors.
If this ssage were to reach Them, it would spell trouble, so the Human Federation's response strategy was to cover one big news event with another potentially scandalous news event.
It eventually resulted in what you saw… After all, so children discovered the truth of maintaining the Human Federation's future revival through electronic life. When the matter was exposed, we simply led others to misunderstand deliberatively."
"You understand the concept of the public opinion arena, don't you? So, the third question—what exactly are the players? Don't tell they are rely players in the literal sense…
The Human Federation has beco history. There's no reason why players of the Human Federation can still enter the Shenhua Continent through a ga. This is an outright ti paradox, even the subconscious ocean of Akasha can't achieve this large-scale reversal of cause and effect, right?"
"Isn't it obvious?" AO said aningfully, "We should have told you the answer many years ago—players are the citizens of Chang Tia. Isn't this answer clear enough?"
"The citizens of Chang Tia…" Kael muttered the words repeatedly, with an increasingly complex expression, finally sighing, "You guys, you're really a bunch of big liars!"
"Looks like you've guessed it?"
"What thod allows a dead civilization to re-erge, isn't it simple? Since it's already possible to convert human consciousness into electronic life, then what better thod could there be…
than directly converting most humans of the Human Federation civilization into electronic life? When everyone exists in a false world, then for everyone, the false world becos the real world.
And for electronic life… every instance of electronic life that is sent out, rather than being electronic life itself, is more like a piece of duplicated informational data.
This piece of informational data, under the world's will, is cast into this world in the form of players. Even if their bodies are destroyed, it doesn't matter, as long as the world's will continues the act of 'using the earth's energy to reshape the player's body'…
Then for those who have completely forgotten that the Human Federation has been destroyed and possess human mory, these electronic lives are rely being reloaded with mories and sent back into this world again, am I right?"
"You've guessed correctly, Kael, which is why I need to tell you, in this world, you are actually the most special being, because strictly speaking, you are the last surviving ember of the Human Federation, one might even say, the only ember." AO's voice was icy cold, revealing a brutal truth.
There are no players, just a dream of a group of Human Federation people who turned into electronic life right before they died.
The real Human Federation has been completely wiped out, all that's left are but remnants inheriting the glory of the Human Federation.
Even those who returned to this continent through the Dungeon, are they still the Human Federation people from back then, or are they simply a bunch of replicas with the mories of those Human Federation people, no one knows.
This has already risen to a philosophical definition of humanity, and Kael is unwilling to think too much about it.
He looked at AO, and AO also looked at Kael with gentle eyes, saying:
"Now, returning to the first question… regarding why the ti in your mories is not synchronized with Shenhua Continent, is there a possibility it's not actually a mory, but a view of the future, you should be able to guess, since you are not one of those electronic lives, you…"
"They say, 'What you can't forget will have an echo eventually'. Historical echoes don't just happen once, just like raiding the [Embers of the Enemy Nation] Dungeon, once you leave the Dungeon, it resets, under normal circumstances, everything returns to the start.
But when we were raiding the Dungeon back in the day, we once attempted to tear through the spatial barrier of historical echoes without 'clearing the Dungeon', sending people out beyond the echoes of history.
At first, countless sentient beings sent out after leaving the Dungeon didn't have any problems, but the mont the Dungeon reset, their bodies disintegrated into ashes, unable to even keep their souls, yet amongst tens of thousands, only one lucky soul managed to retain its soul.
Later, when the world will patched the Shenhua Continent's bug, it took that sole soul from us, then after the Dungeon reset the sixth ti, we gained the Human Federation's top tier's trust by managing the Human Federation for a long ti, continually growing the Human Federation's tech tree until reaching a new pinnacle, and then we…"
"You then broke through the Dungeon and reintegrated that part of the Human Federation back into Shenhua Continent, right? And considering the Dungeon isn't endless, in reality, only a small portion of Human Federation people truly left the Dungeon.
But you found a special thod, which is that inside the Dungeon, though the world isn't complete, so things can be echoed by the river of history, which is why deities can interfere with the Dungeon.
Even inside the Dungeon, deities can project their image into the historical echo type dungeons, because deities are extradinsional beings able to be unaffected by the river of ti, projecting a sliver of their will." AO nodded, saying, "Exactly, so we made an assumption too, that is if we prepared a [mory Backup] for all Human Federation mbers in advance to beco electronic life inside the Dungeon, is there a one in ten thousand chance, that history might respond to those reserves with mory backups of electronic life…
The result is, the Human Federation succeeded. Though the Human Federation has been destroyed, we have at least brought their mory backups out from them, in this way… they have lived on in another form in this new era."
Kael remained silent for a mont.
Such an ending, indeed a bit too cruel.
