What is a super villain?

Chapter 325 The Destruction Deterrence Picked Up

A soft stream of light pours out from the cream-colored light pillar, hanging down like a willow branch at the end of the line of sight.

The stream of light breeds crystal clear colors, seemingly passing through all the separated space and time, weaving the entire 'Ziwei Yuan' into a complete whole.

The beam of light seemed to be roasted by a steaming fire, continuing to boil and expand.The originally constant cream color gradually became thinner and thinner, and the gray-white bark-like traces on the surface became more obvious.

Extending branches is not a transformation that has been brewing for a long time, but more like a squeeze.Squeeze the last vitality of the light pillar and bloom into the charming flower of light.

Xi Lang placed his hands gently on the porthole and looked towards the light pillar from a distance. If he concentrated, he could vaguely see the majestic buildings and cascading steps below the light pillar.

The dancing light was like a tentacle, sweeping over the surface of the Galaxy Star, which was about the size of an aeroplane, making her shiver.

"Sir, we are almost there!"

Xi Lang suddenly turned around and shouted to Fu Xi who was not far away.

They took the Galaxy Star all the way from the outside world to this place, and the speed was not very fast, because they had to suppress the energy fluctuations generated during the journey to prevent attracting strange monsters.

This is the experience gained from several strategic changes after leaving that cement house.

Today, the Galaxy Star is like a station wagon on an outing. Although the speed is slow, it avoids a lot of trouble.

Fu Xi's attention was not focused on the wonderful scenery outside the window. He was looking down in thought, staring at the laptop with a dark screen.

[Current SEED active users: 1]

[Remaining available space: 4%]

[Warning: SEED storage space is insufficient, operation speed slows down, and data processing efficiency is only 22%]

[Data storage: 96% (insufficient computing power, cannot be read)]

[Available operations: Format]

[Warning: Formatting will clear the data storage, make the SEED basic program unable to run, and force all users to be cleared]

The words that only he could see flickered slightly.Fu Xi closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he slowly raised his eyelids, and the lines of text prompts disappeared from his sight.

After getting the 'administrator's' laptop, there was a prompt informing him that the permissions had been reset successfully and he could now view the SEED database.

From then on, whenever he was distracted for a moment, text prompts from the database would appear in his sight.

Fu Xi calmed down, turned to Xi Lang, and nodded slightly: "I understand, are there any further changes on the side of the light pillar?"

"Not yet."

Xi Lang shook his head, "Since it boiled and sprouted those flowing branches, the light pillar has not continued to change... However, I always feel that it is a little sluggish."

Fu Xi came to her side and cast his gaze in the same direction:
"Someone should have entered there and triggered or activated some kind of reservation mechanism. I don't know if it's good or bad yet. We won't know until we arrive."

"Will the others be okay?" A trace of worry flashed in Xi Lang's eyes.

Fu Xi shook his head slightly, he was also unclear.

After entering 'Ziweiyuan' and dispersed, they had lost contact with other companions for more than ten hours.

During this period, except for the strange changes in the cream-colored light beam, there were no more possible clues.

He also wanted to go under the light pillar as quickly as possible, but now it was the maximum speed that the Galaxy Star could reach while remaining hidden. If he went any faster, he might be discovered by the monsters created by 'fallacy'.

If you waste time on fleeing and evading, you will lose more than you gain.

"According to the current speed, it will take us two hours to reach the light pillar." Xi Lang looked at the forecast of the bridge control center, and then turned his head, "Sir, you should rest for a while before we enter Ziweiyuan. 'You haven't had a break for a long time."

"Yes." Fu Xi took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly without rejecting: "Then please keep an eye on me. If there is anything abnormal, wake me up immediately."

Under tense nerves, it is often difficult for people to realize their fatigue, but physical consumption is always there.Those weak feelings will surge up like a tide the moment you relax, quickly sweeping through the entire body and destroying the nerve defenses.

The greater unknown is still far away. Before the arrival of the Milky Way Star, he'd better stay energetic.

Fu Xi's nerves were still as tense as arrows, but he was determined to force himself to relax and take a short rest.

Use the deep sleep device that comes with the captain's cabin to quickly regain your energy.

"Just don't worry!"

Xi Lang showed a confident smile and patted his flat chest.

She murmured in a low voice: "I can still do this little thing well."

Just stare at the control center of Galaxy Star, there is no need to do anything else.

Fu Xi smiled and reached out to rub her small head: "Then please."

With that said, he waved his hand and walked into the captain's cabin. As soon as he thought about it, the sleep device poked out from the wall of the ship.

As the door to the captain's room closed, Fu Xi gradually disappeared from Xi Lang's eyes, and the confidence he squeezed out was put away again.

She turned her head and stared blankly at the cream-colored light beam in the distance:

"No, something's wrong."

I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy.

……

……

Fu Xi lay on the soft wide chair in the captain's cabin that was completely ergonomically designed, comfortably feeling the pillow gently wrapping his occiput.

The cold contact tips of the sleep device were close to both sides of his forehead. Under the power of technology, his body was separated from the control of his brain and forced into a state of hibernation.

The whole person's consciousness began to blur, as if being blown by the breeze, gradually floating up and away.

But at the next moment, he who was still drowsy suddenly woke up and raised his eyes, feeling the inexplicable warmth pouring in from all directions, and a little spark lit up his chest.

When he looked around, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

This is not the captain's room of the Galaxy Star, but a wooden attic that seems to have been left in the corner by time.

The attic was filled with scattered data cables and chassis, as well as a recliner table that resembled an operating table but was filled with electronic components and robotic arms.

Of course, what surprised Fu Xi was not this strange environment, but that he could clearly feel that he had not 'traveled' again, was not transferred to another space unpreparedly, and was still in his sleep. As long as he had a slight thought, You can wake up by moving.

This is a dream!
Fu Xi turned his head and his eyes were drawn to the three monitors arranged side by side on the table opposite the recliner.

The red characters on the monitor looked like gangrene attached to the bones.

[Current SEED active users: 1]

[Remaining available space: 4%]

[Available operations: Format]

【warn:……】

"I said stop!"

Suddenly someone called him, and when Fu Xi heard this, his thoughts converged, and he suddenly understood that in this dream, he could control everything with just his thoughts.

Because this is his dream. "It's okay!" The person who stopped him breathed a sigh of relief. "Formatting SEED is the destruction of the world. Manual heat death will cause the entire world to be deleted in an instant. It would be too much if the world is destroyed due to one person's misoperation while sleeping. It’s funny.”

Fu Xi looked over.

This man was wearing a dark green plaid shirt, with the buttons misaligned and the collar on the right side lowered, exposing his slightly greasy and thick neck.

He has messy mid-length hair. Although the ends of his hair can cover his eyes, his hairline is visibly high. Under his black-rimmed glasses are hazy pupils and his nose is twitching. He looks like a slovenly middle-aged programmer.

"Where is this place?" Fu Xi calmed down, "Who are you?"

"Here? This is just a randomly generated scene, randomly combined with random elements, and created after meeting the basic rules of space setting. It should be understood as your subconscious mind."

The middle-aged programmer looked around and avoided the thick black data cable at his feet.

"As for me, I am SEED."

Fu Xi was stunned.

He looked the middle-aged programmer up and down, and then asked: "SEED is intelligent? Is it artificial intelligence?"

The middle-aged programmer raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a kind smile, then waved his hand and said:

"Don't be nervous, maybe I didn't explain it clearly. SEED is as you understand it. It is a collection of systems and algorithmic rules that play a role when users create the world. There is no omnic awakening or artificial intelligence."

"To be precise, I am just a prefabricated fragment left in advance by the administrator user in SEED, mainly to provide final confirmation and reminder before other users intend to perform formatting operations."

He pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked curiously:
"So, are you sure you want to format SEED?"

Fu Xi did not answer his question immediately, but instead asked: "What do you know?"

After the question was posed, it was as if a switch had been touched. The middle-aged programmer's expression calmed down and he answered:

"When SEED's remaining memory drops to the critical value of 20%, the formatting function will automatically appear in front of all users. As long as any user confirms, SEED will be ordered to delete all data and delete the world with one click."

He suddenly pointed his finger at Fu Xi:

"Now you are the only user, so as long as you nod your head, you can destroy the world with one click! Isn't that awesome?"

Fu Xi calmed down, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer in his sleep, and he carefully looked at the dream space.

Except for him and the middle-aged programmer, the scene is not coordinated, and the style is more like the same twisted building in "Ziweiyuan".

He tried to use his mind to touch the recliner platform filled with mechanical components. In an instant, he was overwhelmed by the turbulent picture fragments, which were forced to play in his mind like a revolving lantern.

There is a man who created many mechanical creatures: plastic is the blood vessel of the machine, with liquid fossil energy and condensate flowing inside it, circuits constitute the nerves, and steel constitutes the limbs.

In a vast continent with a round sky, mechanical creatures survive by eating grass and drinking water.

They have evolved into ever-changing forms, different races, different wisdoms, and different civilizations.

However, one day in the end, highly developed mechanical creatures dug a big hole into the continent, and the world was destroyed.

Fu Xi shook his head, trying to get rid of the dizziness and relieve the bulging feeling caused by the revolving door, and then asked: "What is this?"

"Probably the redundant data in SEED, the records left by other users." The middle-aged programmer replied with a smile: "That user created a mechanical civilization and a simple world, and played until the civilization was destroyed in the end. It's that simple."

He stretched out his hand to touch the leather surface of the recliner table, "The traces of the user's activities in SEED, no matter what the results, will always leave a permanent record that cannot be deleted. The record will occupy the storage space and operating performance of SEED."

The middle-aged programmer paused for a moment, then raised his head:
"I suggest you not to explore these records in depth. Users have left too much data, and they may not have any practical meaning to you. But these meaningless records will eventually become all of SEED, and nothing else will be left. The gap, I call it the end of history.”

"History refers to the civilization's record of the timeline, but for your 'users', time is discontinuous." Fu Xi pointed out.

"That's right!" the middle-aged programmer agreed happily, "but it's not entirely right."

"Be it time or history, it is a conceptual description term that linearly records the objective facts that have happened in the past. In a higher concept than 'user', there is always something that linearly records the objective facts that have happened, such as SEED's log .”

The middle-aged programmer shrugged and smiled indifferently: "The log is the history of 'users', and you can see the end from the beginning. Because of this, the option of formatting was born. For 'users' For their part, they know the outcome from the beginning and therefore demand the power to terminate themselves.”

He stared at Fu Xi again: "Now, let me ask again, are you sure you want to format SEED?"

Incomprehensible words, unfolding inexplicably and wonderfully.

Fu Xi frowned and said nothing, his heart was in turmoil.

He got the permission to browse the SEED database from the 'administrator's' laptop, so he came to a strange dream after falling asleep.

In the past activities of Star God, SEED had accumulated too much redundant data and triggered the formatting program reminder, so he could see the image of this middle-aged programmer.

And because he didn't know where he got the Star God authority, he was regarded by the middle-aged programmer as one of the users of SEED.

So, inexplicably, the button to destroy the world fell into his hands?
Silence persisted.

After a while, the middle-aged programmer smiled helplessly, with a hint of regret: "It seems you don't want to format it yet, so I will ask again next time we meet."

Following his words, Fu Xi felt his consciousness gradually retreat and be wrapped in a hazy mist.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already back in the captain's cabin of Galaxy Star. The green indicator light of the sleep device was on, and his whole body was filled with fullness and joy after a full rest.

"It's... baffling."

Fu Xi whispered to himself.

The memory of the dream just now exists clearly in my mind.

The Star Gods, as the creators of this world, possess unparalleled power, but they know the countdown to destruction hanging above their heads from the moment they ascend.

After experiencing so much and knowing so many secrets, Fu Xi was no longer surprised or shocked. He already understood the existence of the Star God very well.

Human beings are their imprints, and they are human beings themselves.

They want unlimited power and unlimited freedom - if they ascend to become Star Gods, they can have everything.

But every Star God is self-contained, and Star Gods are independent of each other. Even if the 'administrator' can ban the 'Ziwei Emperor' account, it is only a temporary measure. What they lack most is time.

Therefore, the emergence of formatters seems to be an inevitable historical development.

One person confirmed, and everyone was destroyed.

Just like the nuclear deterrence that existed in the history of the earth, as long as we ensure that each other has the ability to completely destroy each other, everyone will converge.

only……

After the battle between the 'Administrator' and the 'Emperor Ziwei', the SEED memory was full and the other Star Gods were nowhere to be seen.

This button of mutual destruction went round and round before falling into Fu Xi's hands.

Many thoughts kept popping up in his mind, but he couldn't say a word.

"Is this a mistake?"

After muttering to himself, Fu Xi stood up from his seat. , just as he was about to organize his thoughts, the Galaxy Star shook violently, and the control center issued a piercing alarm!

"My lord! Something happened!"

Chi Lang rushed into the captain's room in a hurry, panting intermittently:
"The light pillar...the light pillar...is blooming!"
