Chapter 507 The essence and truth of the artifact [6000-word chapter]

"Is this where Pluto seals up the spirit of the artifact?"

Li Guanqi walked out of the space crack, looked at the surrounding space with purple and black light, and couldn't help being stunned.

He doesn't know where this place is.

This place looks like a small room, the surrounding walls, ceiling, and floor are all made of purple-black crystals, and at this time it is still emitting purple-black fluorescence.

"Hidden little space."

Shun Kong's voice sounded, "If it wasn't for that Pluto who gave me the space coordinates, no one would have been able to come to this place. The space concealment in this place...is too subtle."

"Boy."

Suddenly, Pluto's voice rang directly from the bottom of Li Guanqi's heart.

Li Guanqi felt completely different when Pluto spoke, and when he spoke to the artifacts, as if they were coming from two positions, and there was a very clear difference.

"I'll send you a seal to fight towards the amethyst barrier."

After Pluto said that, a wave of information emerged in Li Guanqi's mind.

It was a spiritual power circuit that broke the seal.

"Om-"

Li Guanqi looked at the purple crystal wall ahead, and the spiritual power in his body formed a circuit according to a fixed direction, and finally turned into an ice-blue spiritual power seal in the position of his right palm, flashing blue light, and dense runes constantly emerged on it , quickly broken, and quickly generated.

On the ice-blue seal, the runes are born and died, and they circulate continuously, faintly reaching a certain resonance with this amethyst space.

"Can you control the seal of the crystal?"

Li Guanqi looked at the ice-blue seal in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked forward, and slapped the amethyst wall in front of him.

"boom!"

As the ice blue seal was cast, the entire amethyst space shook violently.

The ice-blue seal was not broken, but stuck to the amethyst barrier, flashing blue light, completely connected with this amethyst space.

"now!"

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spread the five fingers of his right hand, controlling the ice blue seal to rotate slowly.

"Om-"

Soon, countless light spots of different colors began to appear inside the amethyst barriers.

"Dun?!"

Ares' surprise voice suddenly sounded, extremely excited, unable to hide his tears of joy, "Little Dagger, Moumou...you, you are all still alive!!! Xueer, did you see Xueer? All our brothers and sisters Still alive!"

"Eh? Eh?"

Xiaoxue's voice was soft and waxy, "But I haven't unlocked the relevant memories yet..."

"Go, Ares, find your brothers and sisters, and bring them out."

Li Guanqi smiled, hooked his right index finger slightly, and the ice-blue seal shone with light, making a large circular hole appear in the amethyst barrier.

"Thank you master!"

The next moment, the silver-white light armor on Li Guanqi's body turned into a stream of light, and he escaped directly into it, and began to search for the "souls" of his brothers and sisters among the many light spots.

This is the method of seal control that Pluto taught him.

In order to break the seal and leave the underworld back then, Pluto destroyed many artifacts to collect spiritual power, but in the end he kept the spirits of these artifacts here.

For humans, this is roughly equivalent to...

Pluto destroyed their physical bodies, and then kept their souls here, putting them into a deep sleep?
"One, two, three, four... 42... Fuck."

However, compared to Ares' surprise, Shunkong was shocked with a little panic, "Po, Po Dao, we have a lot of enemies here, this is the complete collection! For Xiaoxue and Ares Saying it is a family carnival of artifacts, it is a reunion of enemies for us."

"You're scared..."

Mo Dao had no choice but to say something casually, "It's just a group of spirits who have lost their bodies. There is a fart threat? If I hadn't been kind-hearted, I would have wiped them all out right now... Well, why do you have to be kind-hearted? Shunkong , Do you think we should wipe them all out now? Never trouble again?"

"Ok?"

Shun Kong's voice sank, as if he was thinking about it.

"Hey."

Listening to their discussion, Li Guanqi couldn't help being surprised and said: "Shunkong, Lumo, the relationship between you two and certain artifacts, is it love and killing each other, or a life-and-death hatred? After all, according to my observations, your circle of artifacts is not Not too big."

"To be honest, most of them and I belong to the category of 'love and kill each other'."

Shunkong smiled, "It's said to be an enemy, but in fact it's really going to be a matter of life and death, so we wouldn't do that."

"But, only most of them."

The voice of the magic knife is gloomy, "Some of them are really immortal. Anyway, I have some guys who must be wiped out to prevent future troubles forever. By the way, my memory has not been completely unsealed. Shunkong, remind me, there are Which guys I have to kill."

"Then you will have more, old man..."

I was speechless for a moment.

"So how do you deal with these artifact spirits?"

Li Guanqi is a little embarrassed, "Aris and Xiaoxue's brothers and sisters brought out, although they don't have a body, but at least they can chat at ordinary times, Lu Mo, you and Shun Kong have friends who can also be brought out, and some enemies can be killed as soon as they are needed. What about the rest?"

"Let them stay here and sleep."

Shunkong said: "Anyway, they are sleeping unconsciously. It is meaningless to bring them out. For them, without their bodies, they cannot fight. It will be very boring. It can be said that they are awake with you, the master." go to jail.

For us, these artifact spirits are not supported by the artifact itself, nor can they search for the remaining divine power of the temple.

So, my suggestion is to let them continue to sleep here. "

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Li Guanqi hesitated slightly.

"Xiaoxue doesn't like too many people..."

Xiaoxue's soft voice sounded, with a timid tone.

"That's it."

Li Guanqi directly made up his mind, "Aris, you bring out your brothers, sisters and friends with Xiaoxue, and the two of you, Lu Mo Shun Kong, bring out any friends you want to bring out, and then kill those who should be killed directly. , and the rest continue to sleep here, that's all."

"call out!"

In the heart of Li Guanqi's right hand, the tattoo pattern of the magic box emerged, and then a purple-black long knife flew out of it, and escaped into the big hole in the amethyst barrier.

Then, Li Guanqi saw a burst of purple flames burning, and one after another, the light spots of different colors were swallowed up - that should represent the demise of each of the artifact spirits, right?

Li Guanqi just watched quietly.

The magic knife is his divine weapon, and since that's the case, he has no reason to prevent the other party from avenging his past revenge, otherwise he would be too sorry for his own divine weapon.

It's just that he faintly felt that something was wrong.

In the current situation, with the temperament of the magic knife, would he really do such a thing?
he always feels...

"Ha, sure enough."

Li Guanqi looked at the Amethyst Barrier, shook his head and laughed.

When the purple flame in the barrier dissipated, the light spots of different colors circled and danced again, apparently not completely burned by the purple flame.

"What the hell are you doing, Po Dao? Are you kidding me?"

Instantly asked in surprise.

"Well, scare them."

From the big hole in the amethyst barrier, the magic knife flew out, merged into the heart of Li Guanqi's right hand again, and returned to the inside of the magic box.

"Isn't it?"

Shunkong was helpless, "Your hypocritical character has flared up again? Come on, I know, if you don't meet on the battlefield, you won't be able to kill?"

"Facing a guy who has no power to fight back, I really don't have the mood to kill."

The magic knife said lightly: "However, I still killed a few particularly disgusting guys. For me, even if I have no power to fight back, I am still in the mood to kill those guys... Oh yes Now, besides them, are there any particularly disgusting ones? I'm afraid my memory hasn't been unsealed there."

"There are indeed a few left, come again next time."

Shunkong replied: "This place is not a place that you can only come to once. Instead of asking me to tell you who to kill, it is better to wait for your memory to be completely unsealed in the future, and then let the master bring you here for revenge. There is no need to be in a hurry , anyway, that’s all for those trash.”

"Well, yes."

The magic knife gently agreed, and then fell silent.

"You didn't bring any friends out."

Li Guanqi said.

"Because they're not here."

Mo Dao calmly said: "I don't have many friends who can be called friends, and they are not here, maybe they are completely dead, or maybe they are still wandering somewhere in the world, but it's fine, for example Sleeping here like a piece of trash, both endings are good."

"..."

The emotions of artifacts and artifact masters are interlinked.

For example, at this time, after the magic knife finished speaking, Li Guanqi felt that Shun Kong's mood was a bit complicated... and, emotion?

"What's the matter, instant?"

Li Guanqi asked: "By the way, you didn't bring your friends out, and you're not here?"

"Well, there are four."

Shunkong sighed, and said: "But I think...letting them sleep here is a better ending, because for them, returning to the outside world without their bodies, and staying with you, master, doing nothing It's real 'crap', they must not like it, they might as well sleep, so I didn't wake them up."

Hearing this, Li Guanqi couldn't help frowning slightly.

But in the end he didn't say anything.

In the future, it is meaningless to talk too much about helping them reshape their bodies as artifacts. It is useless to draw cakes, and it is true to eat cakes.

But to be honest, Li Guanqi really didn't know how to make cakes for them.

If you want to be an artifact, of course you have to become a god.

But according to Pluto, after 8000 years of transcendence, this planet can become a god.

That is to say, both the weird world and the real world do not have the normal conditions for becoming a god. It seems that the Nine Palaces-level Dzogchen is the limit... unless he chooses to kill billions of people and use those human deaths to obtain source energy to become a god .

But it was impossible for Li Guanqi to do such a thing.

but……

"The truth should be getting closer."

Li Guanqi murmured softly.

From the beginning to the end, everything is because of the handwriting of that "future god". If it weren't for him, the transcendent would not have traveled to the strange world, and the Pluto would not have passed through his body... Wait, wait, everything would have happened. will not happen.

The purpose of the future gods is to let their generation gain power in the weird world, and then return to the real world to change something.

If this is the case... Li Guanqi guessed that the God of the Future might have been fully prepared long ago.

The opportunity to become a god should appear from system tasks.

It's guesswork, but also gut feeling.

Pluto is the future Li Guanqi.

Pluto trusts his intuition very much.

As for Li Guanqi, the same is true.

"Then let's see."

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, "What will the future look like? That guy, what does he want us to change..."

Next, he waited here for a while.

Because the magic knife and the instant are done, but Ares is still in the amethyst barrier for some reason, and he never brought the brothers and sisters out.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, Ares came out alone, turned into a silver armor, and returned to Li Guanqi.

"What's the matter, smelly armor?"

Instantly asked.

"..."

Ares was silent at first, then sighed, "I woke them up, but they didn't want to leave, none of them... They chose to continue sleeping."

"An artifact, in the final analysis, is an artifact."

The magic knife made a sound slowly, and said calmly: "The value of an artifact is to be used. If it has no value to be used, it is no different from waste. No artifact likes to be waste. Our artifacts have our own value. "

"I'm annoying you, but you may be right about this sentence."

Ares' voice was hoarse.

"..."

Listening to their exchange, Li Guanqi was in a complicated mood for a moment, not knowing what to say.

What can he say?

The guy who caused this artifact tragedy and caused many artifacts to lose their bodies is now staying in the depths of his soul, but he chooses to cooperate with the other party and compare his heart with his heart. These artifacts of his are probably very angry at this time .

"So, you didn't mention the matter of the master?"

Suddenly, Shunkong asked: "If you tell the story about the extraordinary and the two worlds, your brothers and sisters will definitely come out driven by [curiosity]?"

"Don't you think it's bondage?"

Ares said indifferently, "I hate our [curiosity], let alone use it to drive my brothers and sisters."

"Oh, you can do whatever you want."

Instantaneous didn't say anything.

Ok?
curiosity?
Bondage?

disgust?

Li Guanqi was slightly taken aback, but didn't think too much about it.

So, the matter of the spirit of the artifact is over, you can go back to Miss Saoirse and go to the third lead star...

"Owner."

At this time, Jian Kong's voice sounded in Li Guanqi's mind again, he seemed to be hesitant, but finally became decisive, "Can you tell me? What is the situation? What happened?
Why, the consciousness of Pluto is in your soul?
You are obviously two universes, two parallel time and space people, why are you connected to each other now?
And the 'cooperation' he said, what do you want to cooperate with him?With someone like Pluto, can you really work with him with confidence?

I know, I know, you are the master, we artifacts should not overstep the rules.

But I want to know the answer.

I believe that not only me, Broken Sword, Smelly Armor, and Xiaoxue must all want to know the answer. "

"Then let me tell you the answer."

Before Li Guanqi could reply, Pluto's voice sounded suddenly, and said to the artifacts: "However, this is an answer to make you shut up!
Back then, I tried to resurrect my dead wife, so I slaughtered the gods and devoured the power, which led to the twilight of the gods, and also caused me to be sealed to the underworld by your master at the cost of falling.

Then, I called on my subordinates who remained in the world to search for temple resources and artifacts, and cast them into a seal-breaking device.

I succeeded.

I left the underworld and returned to the human world.

But at this time, a guy named Human Emperor has appeared in the world. He is very strong, stronger than your useless god masters. He is on the same level as me, and I was forced to return to the underworld.

My original idea was not to go out and fight the Emperor to the death. After all, I already understood at that time that if the strength reached my level, if I went to war with all my strength, it would easily cause people to die.

But things backfired.

Not long after I went out, the decisive battle began.

All my men died in battle, and the underworld was completely reduced to ruins.

The Emperor's subordinates also died in battle, and the entire human civilization was destroyed, leaving only a few human survivors. Counting from the 21st century, this is the second doomsday period. Survivors began to rebuild a new era on the wasteland. civilization.

As for me and the Emperor?

Dead, but not quite dead.

We all hold back, allowing strands of consciousness to keep reincarnating.

Until... New Era 4870.

Due to unknown reasons, the consciousness of the Emperor and I suddenly traveled through time and space, and came to another parallel time and space, the so-called "real world", and came to the previous "self".

I came to Li Guanqi.

The Emperor went to Lin Xianbai.

The next thing is what you know. In the future, the system made by God will come, and [-] million superhumans will be selected to go back and forth between the two worlds and travel continuously.

You know, Li Guanqi communicated with the God of the Future once. The purpose of the God of the Future is to allow the superhuman to gain power in the strange world in advance, and then return to the real world to change something.

Then the problem is coming.

Who is the future god?
What time period in the future is he in?Was it the New Age?Is he the god of Xin Jicheng?But Xin Ji Mingming couldn't become a god, how did he become a god?
What exactly does he want the Transcendent to do?
Are there any hidden dangers in the real world?Need extraordinary people to gain great power in this era, and then change what?
Behind all this, what is the truth hidden?
Hey, artifacts, I'm curious, so I cooperated with Li Guanqi to find the truth faster.

Don't you [curious]?

Give me a break.

Li Guanqi doesn't understand, I'm the old Ji Pluto, don't I understand?
You have not told Li Guanqi all the facts, secretive, vague facts, I will tell you now!
Your so-called artifacts are nothing more than advanced AI created by a group of gods who are tired of living!

A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years!
The gods have lived for too long and have lost their curiosity about this world. They even want to commit suicide to end their lives!

You, artifacts.

To put it bluntly, you are the advanced 'AI' produced by those gods in order to regain their curiosity, also known as 'artificial intelligence'.

Do you think you have independent emotions?

Yes, there are.

Because one of the most important materials in your production process is the human soul, every artifact that is cast consumes a human soul.

However, every artifact is the same.

During production, that soul will be tampered with, which is the so-called 'input program'. In the established programs of your advanced AI, [curiosity] is the first thing, far more important than any emotional ranking high.

That's why you artifacts will always be full of curiosity about the world, and you can still love life after living for tens of thousands of years, with an out-of-the-box temperament!

The gods will connect their souls with your artifacts, so as to keep themselves curious and love the world forever, so as to avoid suicide.

So, back to the original question.

Is it important?
I, Pluto, am I your enemy, does it matter?
unimportant.

For you advanced AIs, emotion and hatred are far less important than satisfying [curiosity].

Of course you can deny this statement.

But remember, you AI can lie to others, can you really lie to yourself?

What is really important is that my cooperation with Li Guanqi can help him find the truth faster and better, and avoid dying halfway in the process of finding the truth.

hate?revenge?
None of this is as important as finding the truth.

So, don’t say these meaningless words anymore. Compared with avenging your master, you AIs are actually more eager to know the truth, eager to find out what the future god’s purpose is for doing all this.

If there is such an option.

Press the red button, give up revenge and get the truth.

Press the green button to kill me to avenge your master.

Can only be pressed once.

Every artifact will choose to press the red button, give up revenge, and get the truth.

Or what I just said, you can deny it.

But you can't fool yourselves.

Because of the established procedures of your AIs, this matter is determined, it is a theorem, and it is a fact.

That's it, don't bother me anymore. "

Having said that, Pluto completely returned to silence.

Li Guanqi looked at the amethyst barrier in front of him, and at the countless flying and circling artifact spirits inside, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Artifacts are advanced AI made by the ancient gods based on human souls, and the established procedures determine that the [curiosity] of the artifacts is above all emotions, including revenge...

"..."

Magic Saber, Shunk Kong, Ares, and Xiaoxue were silent for a long time.

"So, you don't deny it?"

Li Guanqi asked softly.

"..."

The artifacts remained silent.

In the end, it was the magic knife who spoke slowly: "The artifact is a 'tool', not a god or a human being, it is just a 'tool' that was created and set in advance, that's all."

"That's it, master."

He sighed softly, "If cooperation with Pluto really helps to find the truth, we won't talk about revenge anymore. Pluto is right, we are just advanced AI, we have emotions, but emotions have long been set. Sequence, our curiosity, above all emotions... let's find the truth, we really want to know everything."

"I will."

Li Guanqi nodded lightly, "Shunkong?"

"clear."

"Om-"

A space portal appeared in front, and Li Guanqi stepped into it.

He wants to go back to the previous place, meet Saoirse, and then go to the third star guide.

The first major premise of finding the truth - becoming stronger!
