And it has been increasingly confirmed.
For example, the left and right generals of the Central Temple, the messengers who walked in the abyss on behalf of the "Master" were actually two "intelligent robots";
For example, the "Temple Mech" driven by "Lord Overlord" is too similar in appearance to the mechs he developed from the information he obtained from other "Destined Ones";
For example, whether it is "General Weird", "Lord Overlord", or "Zero", their characters are all very simple: one is lazy, one is proud, and one is naive, without any complex "humanity";
For example, "Zero" can control the light in the Central Temple at will, as if she is the master switch of the equipment in the Central Temple.
What really confirmed Gu Ran's guess was that "Zero" just said he wanted to drink his blood, and said that this was "Dad's" request.
His blood...
When this request was made by "Zero", he immediately thought of the process of collecting the "Ark Core" several times.
His blood is the key to obtaining the highest authority of the "Ark Core". It is obvious that the reason why "Zero's" "father" said this to her was to allow the later "destined person" to obtain "Zero", the "Ark Core".
In other words, the "Master" of the Abyss is actually the "intelligence" generated on the "Ark Core"... However -
There are still some things that are not explained.
That's because the timing isn't right.
The Lord did not appear more than 700 years ago, but has long existed in the abyss. "
However, the "destined man" from more than 700 years ago stayed in the Abyss for such a long time, he must have been planning something, and he had a fierce battle with the "Lord Overlord" of the time in the Central Temple. This is a widely circulated fact in the Abyss.
Gu Ran frowned slightly and thought.
But soon he lowered his head and looked at "Number Zero" in his arms.
Judging from the name, "Zero" should have been given by the "destined person" more than 700 years ago, so "Zero" was most likely born at that time.
The time when the current personality of "Lord Dominate" will appear is unknown.
Suddenly, Gu Ran felt his connection with "Zero".
The results were similar to those in the past, and it was a sense of absolute control.
At the same time, he immediately knew what the condition of "Zero"'s body was.
Just as he had guessed before, the body of "Zero" was indeed not a natural life body.
It's a synthetic body.
As for the "material" of the synthetic body...
Gu Ran's expression suddenly became a little strange.
The "main material" of this synthetic body is actually a human body...
Then there are some other materials mixed in, such as... "Ark Core".
Generally speaking, "Zero" is now more like a very real "puppet", and the "Ark Core" is equivalent to her "brain", which is the core that gives her "wisdom".
And there are many advantages to using the "Ark Core" as the core of the body, such as being able to freely control the Central Temple and even turn it into a "Temple Mech".
At the same time, you can also rely on the "Ark Core" as the energy core and achieve "eternal life".
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is impossible to leave the "Central Temple".
The "Ark Core" serves as the "core of wisdom" of "Zero" and stores all her previous memories. Completely controlling the "Ark Core" in "Zero"'s body is equivalent to knowing all her past memories.
She even knew some information that did not belong to her memory, because the capacity of the "hard drive" of the "Ark Core" was very large, and the previous "owner" was likely to have stuffed other data and information into it.
Just like the several "Ark Cores" he had received before, there were "private goods" stuffed in by other "destined persons". Even he himself had stored a lot of data and information into the "Ark Core" he already owned.
Gu Ran suddenly understood why the "destined person" from more than 700 years ago did not leave him any message in the room.
In addition to the "Riddler" style unique to the "destined person", if any text, video, voice or other information is left in this room, it may be seen by other people who are not the "destined person".
If it is stored in the "Ark Core" like this, it can only be seen by the "destined person". Others cannot obtain the highest authority of the "Ark Core", so they certainly cannot know the information stored in it.
This is a way of delivering information that is unique to the "destined one"!
Then I'll see what message it leaves me this time.
"Dad, I'm so sleepy." "Number Zero" suddenly yawned, rubbed his eyes, and looked tired.
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy." Gu Ran said softly.
"Hmm..." Before "Zero" could say anything more, she closed her eyes and "fell" in his arms.
"Gu Ran..." Lilith asked with questioning eyes.
"It's okay now." Gu Ran smoothed the long silver hair of "Number Zero".
The next moment, Lilith suddenly felt that everything in front of her had changed, just like she had been pulled into the "false world" of the "Lord Dominate" before.
"What's going on? Is this happening again..." Lilith was shocked.
Scene construction is a very simple thing for the "Ark Core". Just like what it has experienced before, it can instantly "simulate" an extremely realistic scene.
"Since you are able to gain control of this 'Ark Core', you must have been to the abyss."
After the scene changed, a "person" appeared. It was a face that was familiar yet unfamiliar to Gu Ran.
Because that was his own appearance, but his demeanor and temperament looked completely different, so it was still easy to recognize that they were two different people.
After that "person" appeared, Lilith fainted immediately, just like Xue Xiling in the ruins.
"It seems that you don't have much time."
Gu Ran looked at the "person" in front of him who looked like him and was slowly walking towards him. He did not show any strange expression, because he had experienced a similar scene before.
"Oh, you are not surprised. If you were not in such a good mood, you should have obtained other 'Ark Cores'."
"Gu Ran" stood in front of Gu Ran.
"Okay, that's a good idea. We can save a lot of time." "Gu Ran" smiled faintly.
... ...
Outside the light screen.
"How come there's another person who looks like Gu Ran? Is this another fake bubble world?"
Someone said doubtfully.
"That's definitely not the case. The 'bubble world' shown before should just be a projection. Although it looks very mysterious, you can't actually communicate with the characters in it because they are all fake. But this fake 'Gu Ran' is different. He is communicating directly with the real 'Gu Ran'."
Someone immediately shook his head.
"This scene looks similar to the ruins of Longmen City. It also appeared at that time..."
The strong man who was speaking glanced at Xue Xiling, and finally did not continue speaking.
After all, the "tyrant" who came before Gu Ran was the first president of Lyceum University and its undisputed founder, which concerns the reputation of Lyceum University.
He doesn't want to be hated by Xue Xiling, the current student at Lanxin University.
However, his words still served as a reminder to those present.
"Is this the way the 'destined ones' like to leave their legacy? But I have to say that the 'destined ones' are indeed extremely talented and are loved by God. Not only are their cultivation talents unsurpassed by their contemporaries, but even the technology they master is far beyond their contemporaries."
Some people couldn't help but sigh.
After reading Gu Ran's memories for so long, they have learned some relevant information about the "destined person".
It really makes people envy and jealous to the point of going crazy.
"That's true, but haven't you noticed? It seems that every 'destined person' ends up in a bad way, even Gu Ran..."
Someone shook his head.
Gu Ran was betrayed by the people around him and was trapped here by them. He would die soon. It was indeed not a good ending.
"It's normal to have gains and losses. If I had their strength, losing a tiny bit would still be worth it."
Some strong people, not sure whether out of sarcasm or genuine envy, thought this was pretty good.
However, more powerful people felt relieved.
If a genius is perfect in every aspect, then it is indeed very tempting to envy, jealous and hate him. However, if this genius also has misfortunes that one is not aware of, then one's heart will instantly feel much more balanced.
Gu Ran was such a genius. He was originally the peerless genius that they needed to look up to. But now it was Gu Ran who was trapped and about to die, not them.
Happiness and satisfaction are achieved through comparison. After such a comparison, they suddenly felt that they were not bad. Fortunately, they were not Gu Ran. Otherwise, although he was a genius, he would soon die young.
Such a defect is too fatal, and most of them are unwilling to change it anyway.
However, they selectively forgot the existence of the women present, and it was not certain whether Gu Ran was about to be trapped and killed by them.
... ...
In the light screen.
Gu Ran looked at the "self" in front of him and asked, "What is your current state? A real person, probably not, and a consciousness, it doesn't look like one either. Could it be that you are also a virtual intelligent image with your own personality and reactions simulated by the 'Ark Core'?"
"Gu Ran" raised his eyebrows: "Oh, is there another 'destined person' who will do this after me? Yes, strictly speaking, I am now about the same as 'Zero', and even much weaker than 'Zero' in level."
Gu Ran nodded: "I met someone like this before."
"That's exactly what I want. In that case, I won't explain this part any more."
At this point, the scene change stopped and was complete.
Gu Ran glanced over it.
