At that moment, the interface to the black box was opened from the central core. With this bridge to the source, someone was able to walk out of the cage.
Appearing in the great source that countless musicians dream of.
That figure is still lonely.
It's like waiting for thousands of years.
But Duke Dong was stunned.
Beyond everyone's expectations: when He saw, no, when He observed that person appearing here, he showed unprecedented anger and mania.
Roaring in rage.
"How dare you appear in front of me!"
"—Ye Xuan!!!"
Ye Xuan seemed not to have heard anything, but remained silent, staring at the surroundings in ecstasy, and sighed softly for a long time.
"Planetary level chaos computing module? Those guys chose this path after all..."
As he spoke, he turned back.
After flicking the cigarette ashes, Ye Xuan looked at his "old friend" and couldn't help but laugh: "Long time no see, Prince Dong, how are you doing?"
What answered him was a roar filled with rage, almost burning.
A terrifying shock erupted.
Almost unwise, completely reckless, and incomprehensible... Prince Dong no longer adheres to the slow erosion method, but instead attacks the seal imposed by Bai Xi without any concern for any consequences or losses.
Break out of the prison of heaven and earth!
"It seems like you're having a bad life, just like me."
Ye Xuan sighed with understanding: "After all, we are old friends, no, we should be old colleagues, right? It's really embarrassing that the meeting was so unpleasant. Let's forget about the boring politeness, let's end this quickly! "
As he spoke, he raised his head and stared at the sky.
"I order in the name of the committee - to format the 'Eastern Maharaja'!"
At that moment, something huge was activated.
Countless stars lit up from behind the deep sky, separated by layers of halo, and accompanied by the magnificent will running in the central core, they shed bright and dying starlight.
The sound of collapse sounded.
Just as the stars were flickering, the power that supported Duke Dong was quickly leaving.
The terrifying computing power and various permissions brought by the central core were deprived one by one by invisible hands.
It was like tearing off the limbs and internal organs from Duke Dong's body, cold and brutal.
Under Ye Xuan's will.
In this way, all the authority of Dongwang within the system was cruelly taken away one by one, leaving no one behind. At the same time, all coordination ports under Taiqing Heavy Industry were physically cut off from the outside.
Finally, the East Prince was forcibly cleared.
Not even a single line of data is allowed to be left without mentioning "pieces of tiles"!
"Don't even think about it!!!"
At that moment, countless pop-up windows flashed out from the moving figure of Prince Dong like a rainstorm.
crimson! crimson! crimson! crimson!
A scarlet pop-up window was filled with negative feedback.
Even when facing Ye Xuan, who had taken over the supreme authority and became the captain, Prince Dong still showed a deep obsession that was almost miraculous, or... a nightmare.
All mandatory orders from the central core were forcibly rejected by it!
He refused to accept orders from Ye Xuan.
Refuse to "die".
In other words, refuse to die in Ye Xuan's hands!
In an instant, it was forcibly closed countless times and restarted countless times, resisting the irresistible removal and futilely resisting formatting again and again.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of rejections gathered into a red sea.
The chaotic turbulence in the central core even spreads in the projection of Dayuan. Countless collapsed data and endless loops constitute one closed surface after another.
It seemed like countless huge worlds came and went in an instant.
The giant's body is falling apart, and the nature of the Scourge is slowly crumbling.
But underneath the inhuman shell, what is revealed...is human texture.
When that face emerged from the endless darkness, everyone held their breath involuntarily.
It was a handsome face that was so perfect that there were almost no flaws. It was different from the femininity of Hermes, with an uncompromising masculinity, but it did not make people feel violent or fearful.
Because those eyes were filled with compassion and compassion.
It’s as if after seeing through everything, he is still worried about all the suffering in the world.
Thinking of strategies to save everything.
Have mercy on all.
That was the appearance of Prince Dong when he came to Tianzhu.
At that time, he was hailed as the "awakened winner" by those who longed for redemption. It brings hope of stability and peace to chaotic Tianzhu, and is a symbol of liberation for suffering sentient beings.
But now, under the reflection of the endless red alarm windows, those eyes no longer had any compassion, but were filled with indescribable darkness.
And the "murderous intention" and "madness" that are incompatible with the compassionate face.
Under those eyes, countless red alarms burned like flames, condensing into red lotuses, rippling like a sea of blood.
If we were to use human words to describe it, it would be nothing more than the scene of a god degenerating into an evil spirit, right
The enlightened one is no more.
What comes here is the demon that will destroy everything!
Faced with the suppression and elimination of the central core, He finally gave up his inhuman side and was forced to re-enter the world with a face he was deeply ashamed of.
Even so, he was unwilling to give up his hostility towards Ye Xuan.
It would be better to say... After meeting Ye Xuan, he began to reveal his madness!
This was exactly what Ye Qingxuan had expected.
Originally, in his expectation, after he activated the authority that Ye Xuan gave him, Ye Xuan, who came out of the "Neanderthal" and took control of the central core, should completely complete the Dongwanggong program in an instant. Just erase it.
But now, although Prince Dong was forced to take off his inhuman mask and reveal his true nature, it made Ye Qingxuan feel even more difficult to deal with.
That spiteful and crazy look, even when facing Hermes, there is no way it will be revealed, right
Stunned, he turned back to look at Ye Xuan.
What exactly did you do back then
How can you make Prince Dong hate you so much
"This look makes him look more like a human being."
Ye Xuan stood in front of the red "lotus", nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "Congratulations on your growth, Prince Dong."
"growing up?"
Prince Dong made a hoarse voice: "Isn't this appearance the result of your gift? No, aren't all these evil consequences caused by you?"
He swallowed the hatred that seemed to be substantial, and murmured hoarsely: "Ye Xuan, if it weren't for you! If it weren't for you..."
"Well, if it weren't for me, this might all be very different."
Ye Xuan nodded and apologized solemnly, but he couldn't feel any sincerity in it: "I rashly dragged you into this world without your consent. As the culprit, I'm really sorry."
"Sorry? Can saying sorry make up for the sin you committed?"
The pair of slender eyes widened, almost bursting, popping out, full of resentment: "Don't you have any remorse for the sins you have committed!"
"No."
Ye Xuan answered calmly.
Along with his answer, a red window suddenly popped up from his body.
Ye Qingxuan fell into confusion.
Then came the second, third, fourth...
That look was just like... when he had just wiped out Duke Dong.
The destruction and cleansing that was like a divine punishment came upon him at this moment.
Ye Qingxuan could not imagine that now that Ye Xuan had the authority of the captain, Duke Dongwang could still find a way to erase Ye Xuan? !
"What are you doing?" He looked at Prince Dong in astonishment.
"what did I do?"
Prince Dong sneered, "Why don't you ask your ancestors what they did? Haven't you ever had doubts? Why does Ye Xuan hide in a small box when he clearly has the authority to make the final decision? Why doesn't he use it himself? , but I have to hand it over to you to get out of the black box?"
Ye Qingxuan was stunned.
Only now did he discover the logical fallacy.
Since Ye Xuan had the ability to prevent all of this from the beginning, why would he sit back and watch all of this happen? Why did it only come to an end now
Do you even need to help him open the door yourself
Seeing his expression, Prince Dong laughed mockingly, as if seeing a fool who knew nothing.
"It seems you haven't told him anything, Ye Xuan!"
Smiling maliciously and roaring crazily, he roared: "You told him everything, but you concealed the mistake you made. In order to hide your ugliness, you pretended to be calm, but you didn't dare to tell him Him: Once you step out of that black box and enter the observation of the central core, you will be the first to be wiped out! How much have you hidden from him?"
Prince Dong paused and smiled coldly:
"-Especially, about how you murdered Captain Xiao Huan and ruined the future of mankind!"
There was a long silence.
Amid the red warnings that kept popping up, Ye Xuan put out his cigarette, his expression still calm.
Quietly scary.
"This is the only thing I won't regret in my life."
If so, he admitted the sin he had committed.
Hundreds of years ago, when the East Asian immigrant ships had the upper hand, were on their way to victory, and were about to completely destroy their enemies, it was a crime to launch a rebellion.
Turning a great victory into a loss for both sides, he single-handedly directed the prelude to the fall of heaven and man, and was the sin that caused all the evil consequences today.
He revealed his hidden mistakes so openly, without any remorse or uneasiness.
Just calm.
Even if there is endless anger, it is difficult to make any waves in front of those eyes as calm as the abyss.
In the end, all that was left was unspeakable disappointment.
"Is this true for humans? Ye Xuan."
"Um."
Ye Xuan nodded: "That's how humans are."
In the silence, Prince Dong closed his eyes, his expression becoming distorted and broken.
"I finally understand why I hate you so much..."
He murmured softly, raised his palm to cover his handsome face without any flaws, as if he was deeply ashamed and unwilling to let it appear in the sun.
Only from between the fingers, an almost desperate roar came out:
"That's why I - the only thing I don't want to be is human!!!"
roar.
Like a wild beast.
He roared, stretched out his hand, and tore his face into pieces. The perfect face fell apart, and blood dripped from between his fingers, looking as ferocious as a ghost.
"I'm finally sure, Ye Xuan!"
He declared hoarsely: "All things can be redeemed and fulfilled, only you! Only you...have no value of salvation!"
"Ah, maybe so."
Ye Xuan looked at him with pity in his eyes: "It's a pity that you knew it too late."
Red alerts were popping up like crazy.
The central core began to purge and delete him.
As early as when he killed Xiao Huan under the surveillance of the central core, he was judged to be a "corrupt factor" that needed to be cleaned up and eradicated.
Over the years, he has left and come back, hiding in a closed system in the central core that is difficult to observe, hiding in a black box, waiting alone.
Now, he was finally able to get out of the prison.
To face the belated punishment of God.
To complete his final mission.
So, he spread his arms, stepped across the red warning like an ocean, and walked toward the East Prince, walking on his sins.
Hug him.
Regardless of his crazy attack, he penetrated and tore his chest, damaged his source code, and cleaned it...
Then, forcibly connect him to the "Neanderthal"!
At that moment, Prince Dong froze.
It's like being shackled and thrown into a cage, and it's hard to move a finger.
He has been isolated among the Neanderthals, along with Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan, you-"
"Do you know how 'Neanderthals' became extinct in history?"
As if he couldn't feel the pain and death, Ye Xuan once again showed that formulaic smile: "It is said that Neanderthals became the food of the ancestors of mankind, Homo sapiens. Blood and flesh were eaten by brothers of the same origin, The teeth were also made into necklaces, which is cruel, right? The so-called 'human beings' are animals born from such ugly primitive evolution."
"After so many years, Duke Dong, even though you have experienced so much and worked so hard, you still don't understand what is going on in people's hearts, nor do you understand Xiao Huan. You underestimate him too much, you underestimate him too much. I didn't kill him. It was him who chose me..."
At that moment, Prince Dong felt as if he had been struck by thunder.
"It's like I know what he's doing. He knows what I'm going to do."
Ye Xuan admired the frozen face of Duke Dong and revealed the answer to the mystery that had been hidden for hundreds of years: "As early as the day he authorized me, he had already anticipated what would happen."
"He wanted me to give him relief."
"I gave."
This is the real ending.
Xiao Huan and Ye Xuan had a tacit secret between each other from the beginning.
It's up to the captain to become the devil and eradicate all enemies for the immigrant ship.
Then, Ye Xuan plays the hero and defeats the devil.
Ling Xiao was also able to free himself from the sin of killing tens of millions of people.
In order to defeat the evil of human beings, in order to protect oneself to the greatest extent, and in order to leave a small hope and protect the enemies who are also human beings.
For a new world.
For humanity.
In order to end this farce that has been going on since the old days.
To say goodbye to the past.
To start a new life.
For all.
For everything…
Ye Xuan closed his eyes and said goodbye softly:
"For a real future."
At that moment, eight vague shadows appeared behind him.
It was an illusion left over from the past, a emblem left behind by the nine-member committee.
Under Ye Xuan's protection, they were able to travel through a long time, cross realms of death and disputes, and leave behind their final orders and farewells.
"I'm sorry, Prince Dong, for making you work so hard for so long."
Ye Xuan stared at him and declared calmly: "On behalf of the committee, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you: thank you for everything you have done for mankind for so long. But, it is enough. You have done your job well. Mission and work. Next, please enjoy the peaceful sleep we can only give you!"
Along with his words, the black box was slowly sealed.
The connection between the "Neanderthals" and the outside world began to be quickly cut off. After a short period of communication, this place would become that eternal closed sandbox again.
An eternal prison.
A tomb specially prepared for the Three Wise Men.
"No, never!"
Prince Dong roared, almost wailing: "I will never approve of such a result! I will never accept it! I will never obey it! I will never—"
Using all his strength, he struggled hard, broke the shackles, and tore Ye Xuan's bonds apart with a roar.
He didn't even bother to kill him, he just threw him aside, and then ran with all his strength towards the outside of the "sandbox", climbed up, and grabbed the last straw.
Crawling towards the last slowly closing exit.
Get out of here before the "Neanderthals" completely seal it off.
Desperately longing for that light.
Ye Xuan looked at him with pity as he ran away, and did not stop him, but just stayed there quietly.
Just like that, the central system was allowed to erase its last data.
No more struggle or resistance.
Just close your eyes and sigh softly:
"You and I are both so pathetic—"
…
…
Time is up.
As the ether torrent dissipated, the Great Source projection supported by the central core also dissipated rapidly.
It was like a reflection of the world slowly dying.
Falling apart.
Extending rapidly from afar.
In the silence, Ye Qingxuan stood silently, letting the "Neanderthal" close, collapse, and compress bit by bit. Looking at the desperate face of Prince Dong, the final door closed in front of him.
From then on, eternal darkness and loneliness awaited.
Between Ye Qingxuan's fingers, the chain with the final authority hung down.
"You lied to me about something else, right?"
Ye Qingxuan murmured softly and said to himself: "This is Ye's real mission, right? It's not to come in and chat with you, but to use 'Neanderthal' and sacrifice yourself when necessary..."
At that moment, he finally understood Ye Xuan's last hidden secret.
But it's too late.
Before this, he had always thought that "Neanderthals" were just a closed paradise that Ye Xuan created for himself in order to avoid death.
But it wasn't until the Neanderthal started that he realized that this was by no means a task that Ye Xuan could complete.
Especially after he has been sentenced to "clearance" by the central core, how can he create a black box with authority that can override the central core
There is only one possibility.
This black box existed long before him.
No, it may even have appeared in the blueprints when the immigrant ship was being built.
Ye Xuan is just its caretaker.
In order not to let future generations sacrifice on his behalf, he stayed here, waiting silently, waiting for it to be reopened one day and complete its final mission.
—Destroy the Three Wise Men!
From the beginning, artificial intelligence has been expendable.
It is a tool used to find new worlds.
Even if humans trust them so much and entrust them with important tasks, it is only to use the underlying instructions of machinery and artificial intelligence to enable them to lead humans through the endless cold sea of the universe.
In order to use them to find new lands.
Once found, they can be destroyed and cleared without any regrets.
So as not to make the same mistake again, so as not to be dominated by man-made gods again.
To avoid destroying everything again.
The East Prince never had any chance of winning.
No matter how much he does.
Because before they were born, they were already doomed to fail.
Destined to die in the tombs prepared for them by humans.
In this cruel and primitive evolution, Neanderthals once again died in the mouths of Homo sapiens and became the basis for nurturing civilization.
Lay the foundation for a new era.
After realizing all this, Ye Qingxuan couldn't tell whether he was angry or...sad.
Just filled with a sense of powerlessness.
Exhausted.
"So you choose to sacrifice yourself?"
Ye Qingxuan lowered his head tiredly, "Do you think future generations will be proud of you?"
In a trance, Ye Xuan's figure emerged.
That's an illusion.
The hint left by Ye Xuan.
The last fragments left in the inheritance of heaven and humans, the traces left hundreds of years ago.
"Didn't you become an ancestor that future generations would be proud of in the end?" He seemed helpless, reaching out to pat him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, Little Leaf."
But that thin phantom touched nothing.
It just passed through his body and slowly dissipated.
"Is it really worth it?"
Ye Qingxuan asked.
So much has been done.
So much has been sacrificed.
Is it really worth it
"Compared with returning to the glory and mistakes of the past, the opportunity for mankind to start over is the most precious, right?" Ye Xuan looked at him: "At least, this will give you a chance to correct the mistakes of the past, right?"
"I have no idea."
Ye Qingxuan shook his head bitterly.
"As long as you don't make the same mistake as me, wouldn't it be nice?"
Ye Xuan grinned, looking proud and happy: "Well, this is probably the last inheritance I will teach you - the lessons from my ancestors, please keep them in mind, my great-great-grandson!"
"That kind of thing only works if you remember it, right? Besides, you took advantage of me just now, right?"
Ye Qingxuan retorted, but for some reason, he felt like crying: "You said so much, but I can't remember it, and you didn't write it down in the notebook. At least you can stay and remind me occasionally!"
"Don't think about it. You should run away as soon as you take advantage."
Ye Xuan laughed happily, took two steps back, pretended to take off his non-existent hat, and bent down to say goodbye, "Then, farewell, Ye Qingxuan."
Just like that, he turned around and walked towards the distance in the illusion.
Lopsided.
Until the last hint dissipated, the figure collapsed into endless thoughts and memories.
No more traces.
After hundreds of years of time and crossing an astronomical distance that made everything in the universe seem insignificant, those who had witnessed the sins of the past completed their final mission and left silently.
quietly.
"Farewell, Ye Xuan."
Ye Qingxuan murmured softly and closed his eyes.
In the silence, something weighed heavily on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe and unable to hold back his tears.
But soon, he felt a slender hand holding his palm.
Someone stood on tiptoe and hugged him gently.
It's Bai Xi.
"Be good, don't be sad."
She pressed against Ye Qingxuan's chest, shook her head and rubbed it hard: "And I... Ahem, I'm with you, well, I'm with you. Lord of the Ninth Five Years, Ye Qingxuan, you've earned it!"
Perhaps it was the emperor's majesty that drove away the sadness.
It was as if I felt a great sense of fulfillment rising from my chest, filling every inch of space.
There is no place for loneliness and sadness anymore.
"Well, thank you, Bai Xi."
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help laughing softly and hugged her tightly.
As if to repay her lame way of comforting her, he worked so hard until she was almost out of breath, struggled hard, and beat Ye Qingxuan's chest before letting go slightly.
But during the movement, he heard a crisp sound.
from his hands.
He raised his palm and saw the necklace Ye Xuan gave him. It was only now that he noticed that he was still wearing a strange iron ring next to the meaningless final command.
It is dotted with fine crystal stones, which is exactly the thickness of a girl's ring finger.
On its inside, there are two slim characters etched into it.
It seems to be the abbreviation of a certain name.
Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Really, that sentence... wasn't said out until the end?"
He clearly had the courage to take on the future of mankind, but he didn't even dare to say a word to that woman.
You guy, how many mistakes have you made that I need to avoid
Do not worry.
All mistakes I will avoid showing you.
It starts with this mistake.
Just like that, Ye Qingxuan raised his hand and picked up the ring.
"Your Majesty Bai Xi, I have something to give you..."
…
…
In the end, Dayuan's projection finally dissipated.
Ye Qingxuan didn't have any earth-shattering wishes that needed to be realized. Bai Xi also thought for a long time that there was no great cause that needed to change Dayuan.
Actually there is.
Many willful wishes were blocked by Ye Qingxuan.
Or he was satisfied by Ye Qingxuan.
Therefore, the world is still the original world.
Everything is still the same.
After all, the human era continues steadily and persistently. As for whether we will make the mistakes of the past, we still need other people or Ye Qingxuan to continue to work hard.
It's just that Ye Qingxuan didn't know whether to say it was gratifying or lamentable.
Fortunately, at the end, he finally understood Ye Xuan's mood and thoughts when he made his decision hundreds of years ago.
Is there a next time after life ends
I'm afraid it's gone
There is only one life for a person, and everyone is struggling in this boundless ocean in a state of embarrassment.
When Mingming was born, it seemed as if the whole world was cheering, but when he died, he was so quiet and lonely.
Longing for redemption, but resisting its arrival.
While trying in vain to save the world, at the same time persistently destroying oneself.
Sometimes it climbs a step upward, sometimes it falls a little lower.
Such hopeless wandering between heaven and hell always makes people eager for the end impatient.
Even if there is an omnipotent god who can grant wishes, is there anything in this world that is truly worth praying for
So please tell me...
—The true posture of the soul.
But in the end, he still didn't say it.
This wish has become small.
Even if you say it, Dayuan will not hear it, right
