Ruins of the past

As Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai's thoughts went deep into the unknown realm, an extremely prosperous city appeared in front of them.

From the ground to the sky, there are folded streets, curved buildings, upside-down cities, misaligned highways... Various spaces and urban structures that exceed ordinary people's imagination and violate the laws of physics are constantly appearing in front of their eyes.

Looking at the virtual city that existed in the quantum network, Chu Qiguang said curiously: "What is this place?"

Zhou Bai looked at the somewhat familiar scene in front of him and sighed: "I'm afraid it's the virtual world he created. As far as I know... In his vision, the ideal state of the future universe should be that everything is unified."

"There are many intermediate states before we reach this ideal goal."

"The virtual world we see now, which can accommodate a large number of consciousnesses, is one of them."

"The virtual world consumes less material and energy, and it is more convenient for him to conduct certain experiments about the future..."

While the two were talking, they were already observing carefully in this virtual world, but the more they observed, the more frightened they became.

Because according to their observations, there are only three kinds of people in this virtual world, namely Chu Qiguang, Zhou Bai and Taishang.

And there are tens of millions of Chu Qiguang, Zhou Bai and Taishang. These three types of people make up the entire society.

The two could see Zhou Bai, who had white hair and wrinkles on his face, cleaning toilets in the mall.

An old man named Zhou Bai was begging for food on the street.

There is a middle-aged Zhou Bai with glasses and a cautious face who is working in a small cubicle.

There is also Zhou Bai, a tall and muscular young man who is dusting the construction site.

There is a pregnant Zhou Bai who is giving a speech enthusiastically to promote products in a private house, while below are other Zhou Bais who are paying enthusiastically...

Tai Shang, who is wearing uniform and looking capable, can also be seen patrolling the floors in the mall. The Supreme Being in a suit and leather shoes with gold-rimmed eyes was throwing money into Zhou Bai's begging bowl. There was also a greasy lady wearing work clothes and a helmet who was cursing at Zhou Bai who was dusting the construction site. There is also a Taishang in a police uniform who is rushing into a house and destroying a group of Zhou Bai's MLM dens...

You can also see a group of wealthy Chu Qiguang discussing the group's future plans in shopping malls, construction, finance and other fields in the conference room.

Chu Qiguang in the government building was listening to the police superior’s report...

This is a world composed of Chu Qiguang, Zhou Bai, and Taishang. However, Chu Qiguang, Zhou Bai, and Taishang in this world have different shapes. They have completely different appearances, personalities, and personalities due to different experiences. Three Views.

"What are you doing!" Zhou Bai said angrily: "Why am I at the bottom of this world!"

"What's so strange about this normal phenomenon?" Chu Qiguang said calmly: "The question is...why did the future demon create such a world?"

He turned to look at Zhou Bai and asked curiously: "You once said that he created a world with only you. I originally thought it was a world with only you, but now it seems that it is a world full of people."

Zhou Bai analyzed: "In this society, 'I' form the bottom, Taishang is the middle class, and you have become the ruling class in all walks of life."

"But this is obviously not common sense, and it cannot be the so-called perfect world. I suspect that the future demon is playing tricks on us, using this world to delay time, and secretly preparing some big conspiracy."

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "I think... from a certain perspective, or from the perspective of a future demon, perhaps it can be called a kind of perfection."

Zhou Bai raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Perfect? ​​Of course, for all Chu Qiguang, this world may be good, but you don't see that there are thousands of people here. I have become the fuel of society and are being burned continuously. ?"

As he spoke, countless Zhou Bai's situations in this world turned into a torrent of information and were sent directly to the two of them.

Looking at Zhou Bai who was struggling in suffering, oppressed by the Supreme Being, and harvested by Chu Qiguang, Zhou Bai asked angrily: "Do you think this world is perfect for them?"

Chu Qiguang said: "From an individual perspective, no world is perfect, but from an overall perspective, from the perspective of the entire world, many questions often have different answers."

…

White light flashed one after another, and a group of more than ten people appeared on the streets of the virtual world.

Zhou Bai, Tai Shang, and Chu Qiguang, who were walking on the road around them, seemed completely unaware of the sudden appearance of a dozen people.

The dozen or so people with different looks were looking at the virtual world in front of them with curiosity. Looking at Zhou Bai, Taishang, and Chu Qiguang all over the street, the faces of the dozen or so people were all shocked and nervous.

The leader among them is Xingqun, the leader of the Humanity Faction.

He looked at the extremely strange virtual world in front of him, with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "What on earth has he done?"

After "Zhou Bai" attacked the stronghold, Xingqun and others searched for the missing consciousness algorithms in the quantum network, followed them all the way, and finally landed in the virtual world in front of them.

But the appearance here clearly exceeded their expectations.

But the next moment, as if an invisible force swept through their bodies, Xingqun and others had transformed into the appearance of Zhou Bai, Taishang, or Chu Qiguang, as if they had completely integrated into the society in front of them. , which did not cause any surprise to the people around.

At the same time, a voice rose in his heart: "I have temporarily disguised you, and the other party will not be able to detect you for a while."

"But this is his territory. It's only a matter of time before you are discovered. Hurry up..."

Xingqun wrote in his heart: "Thank you Mr. Crazy for your help."

The crazy gentleman who protected them, who claimed to be a crazy liar, had always been a supporter and one of the biggest backers behind the Humanity Sect.

The true identity of Crazy Delirium Liakong is one of Zhou Bai's most powerful peers. His strength is unfathomable. According to Xingqun's tests and guesses... he is probably not much weaker than Zhou Bai's body.

However, unlike Zhou Bai who has been wantonly enslaving, distorting, and torturing humans for a long time, Crazy Delirium at least openly supports the Humanity Faction's plan to liberate humans.

Although Xingqun also understands that the other party cannot be purely kind-hearted and must have his own purpose, but in order to liberate mankind... he needs the power of Crazy Delirium.

Next, a group of people walked on the streets of this world silently observing the world, and then spread out to collect intelligence. The more they looked, the more horrified they became.

Looking at the weird world in front of him, Xingqun said coldly: "What is going on in this world? Are they all real?"

Seeing a large number of Zhou Bai, a small number of Taishang, and Chu Qiguang appearing sporadically on the street, various bad premonitions kept rising in Xingqun's heart.

Crazy Delirium's voice rang out in Xingqun's sea of ​​consciousness: "While Chu Qiguang and I were fighting in the ghost world, Zhou Bai completely took control of the federal center. After that, he devoted all his efforts to create this virtual world."

"According to my observation, he uploaded all the intelligent individuals captured on various planets to here through the quantum network and uploaded their consciousness algorithms..."

Most of the intelligent individuals in the Federation have given up their bodies in the material world and have chosen to upload their own consciousness and exist in the quantum network in the form of consciousness algorithms.

This form brings great advantages to the entire federation, allowing everyone to easily and quickly correct their own consciousness, and in accordance with the regulations of the federation, smoothly possess precious qualities such as honesty, hard work, and strength.

It also allows every intelligent individual to have powerful information retrieval and data processing capabilities with the help of quantum networks and consciousness algorithms, allowing the federation to successfully implement ultra-high-speed referendums that other civilizations cannot achieve.

In the past countless years, the Federation has become more prosperous and developed with the blessing of these advantages. The alien civilization's fear of consciousness modification and incomprehension of abandoning the body are regarded by them as backward and barbaric.

At least in peacetime...

But when the federal center is violently controlled by a high-ranking being who is far more powerful than any of them, all the consciousness algorithms stored in the quantum network become fish on the chopping board, and even their own personalities, opinions, memories... ...The self-awareness cannot be maintained, and all existence has become the decision of the other party in a single thought.

Crazy Delirium Liakong continued: "After those federal people were sent here, their memories were erased, their consciousness was distorted, and they were transformed into other people by Zhou Bai..."

Listening to these words, the anger in Xingqun's mind continued to surge and boil, and unprecedented hatred exploded in his mind like exploding stars.

'week! white! ’

Looking at the crowd on the street in front of him, Xingqun seemed to see the souls that were constantly distorted and wailing behind the faces.

'How dare you...how could you do such a thing...'

This kind of behavior that wantonly distorts a person's will, in the eyes of Xingqun, simply treats human beings as something worse than domestic animals.

'I must kill you completely and liberate mankind from your slavery...'

Feeling more determined than ever before, Xingqun asked, "What should I do?"

Crazy Delirium Liakong responded: "It's difficult to deal with Zhou Bai who has mastered the center. We must create opportunities."

"For example, find the source of these twisted souls, try to untie them and return them to normal."

"If I can use this to cause chaos in the entire quantum network, I will have the opportunity to seize part of the control from the other party, and then I will fight."

After Xingqun thought for a moment, they agreed on many details with the other party, and then agreed to Crazy Delirium's plan.

Then he saw the group of people led by Xingqun quickly dispersed and started looking for the target according to Xingqun's request.

'Although Zhou Bai distorted the consciousness of the people of the Federation and injected the memories of Zhou Bai, Chu Qiguang and Taishang before they started practicing into their consciousness algorithms, he used three templates to try to combine everyone They all become these three types of people. ’

'But memories are just memories after all. After different experiences, they will only become different people and live different lives. ’

'The greater the contrast between this and my own template, the greater the conflict. From his conscious algorithm, I can more accurately find the traces of modification and trace their source...'

So under the command of Xingqun, the group began to look for different targets.

…

Chu Qiguang grabbed Zhou Bai's shoulders, and the two of them turned into streams of light and shuttled through the virtual world. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at a spacious office on the top of a building.

And a man in his fifties, Zhou Bai, who had a scar on his face, a strong build, and a shaved head, was sitting behind his desk reviewing documents.

Seeing the appearance of the two people, he was startled: "Who are you?!"

But the next moment he had fallen into stillness following Chu Qiguang's thoughts.

Chu Qiguang stretched out his hand and pointed, and the memory belonging to the other party burst out from the center of his eyebrows, and was read by him and Zhou Bai like lines on the palm of his hand.

Starting from working in a factory to collecting accounts, he then betrayed his boss Tai Shang, used the money to hire a group of Zhou Bai to become foreman contractors, and then joined a boss Chu Qiguang to run the engineering team...

In the management of the construction site, he always suppressed and delayed the wages of Zhou Bai, hired gangster Zhou Bai, kidnapped Zhou Bai, a beggar, and imprisoned Zhou Bai, a mentally retarded person, in order to obtain more profits...

He even colluded with various other contractors, bribed several leaders Chu Qiguang, and climbed up the group step by step.

Although he was despised by various middle-level managers and backbone leaders along the way, and received a lot of benefits from director Chu Qiguang and director Chu Qiguang, he finally climbed to the position of director of the group and became a counterattack Zhou Bai.

Zhenchu ​​Qiguang looked at these memories at this moment and said slowly: "With a sufficient number of people, there will always be people who use Zhou Bai as a template to counterattack."

"I...may understand some of the future demon's thoughts."

"Chu Qiguang, Zhou Bai, and Taishang are the three most promising figures in the world."

"If we create a world with only them, and use these three types of people as templates, and compete and fight continuously in this world, perhaps we will be able to continuously produce characters who climb to the top."

Zhou Bai searched for information about this world and snorted coldly: "How is it possible to compete and fight endlessly? The Chu Qiguangs at the top of this world will soon unite to form an invincible huge group to rule this society. Trigger the solidification of classes and make all the Supreme Leaders and Zhou Bai their nourishment."

Chu Qiguang shook his head, and all kinds of data kept popping up on the office computer nearby. They were all historical events and data that had happened in this world.

"A migrant worker, Zhou Bai, went bankrupt while trading in the stock market, his mortgage payments were cut off, and he lived on the street. Then he looked for opportunities to destroy the building's sanitation system and drowned seven Chu Qiguang who were in the conference room at the time, suspected of insider trading in the stock market... …”

"Millions of Zhou Bai were defrauded of their savings by financial companies. They united to launch a lie-down movement. The entire city was filled with Zhou Bai lying down. Streets, subways, shops, highways...everywhere... Full of lying Zhou Bai, the entire city stagnated for six months, and finally went completely bankrupt. It even triggered large-scale imitation in other cities, almost leading to the collapse of the entire society..."

"Because they have lost hope in society, hundreds of millions more people have given up their jobs this year and beg for a living every day... For the sake of social stability, President Chu Qiguang has promulgated a new welfare bill..."

Zhou Bai looked at the data that Chu Qiguang found, and the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became: "Are these real? Isn't it made up by the Future Demon?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Zhou Bai is an important insurance for this society. When the classes in this world continue to solidify, there will be Zhou Bais who will rise up and quickly influence other Zhou Bais, disrupting the world together, breaking down the classes, and rebuilding the world." Shape this society."

"The existence of Zhou Bai ensures that this world will not fall into a stagnant state, the existence of Chu Qiguang ensures the efficiency of this world, and the existence of Taishang... well, he will help whoever is powerful, he is the one who really does it. A living person, he works much more efficiently than Zhou Bai."

Zhou Bai said dismissively: "I still don't think so. The entire society is born from our three types. The world will only become more and more monotonous and solidified. It is only a matter of time before it will be destroyed in the future."

Chu Qiguang said: "Then we have to see how the future demon created these Zhou Bai, Taishang and me. The difference in manufacturing process will greatly affect the results."

"But the above are just my guesses. I always feel that... the future demon's arrangement may not be that simple."

Zhou Bai turned his head and looked around, his eyes seeming to be constantly penetrating the virtual world in front of him, searching for any suspicious existence.

"Let's look for it..."

…

Xingqun looked at the target persons searched by his subordinates, while looking at them who were tied to the chairs, while reading each other's information.

Among these people... there was Zhou Bai who was constantly brainwashed, forced, and exploited by his boss Chu Qiguang, and became the one who took the initiative to work overtime 996, and was the last one to leave the company every night and give up his year-end bonus.

After being replaced by his subordinate Zhou Bai after his rebellion, he directly underwent frontal lobotomy surgery and became the mentally retarded Chu Qiguang.

There is also a cross-dressing queen who, for some unknown reason, considers herself a woman and refuses all male gaze.

Seeing the targets being captured one by one, Crazy Delirium Liakong said with satisfaction: "That's enough. I should be able to find the source of the consciousness modification in this world from their consciousness algorithm."

"Now let me eliminate Zhou Bai's influence on their consciousness and restore them..."

Xingqun said happily: "Can they really recover?"

Crazy Delirium lied empty and said: "Of course, maybe for safety, maybe as a backup, Zhou Bai didn't clean up the memories of these people, I can try to restore them."

So an hour later, a flicker of clarity suddenly flashed in the eyes of mentally retarded Chu Qiguang, and finally his whole person twisted and turned into a handsome young man.

Xingqun said expectantly: "Have you recovered?"

Unexpectedly, the other party said with a frown on his face: "Where is this? Who are you?"

After Xingqun's explanation, the other party said angrily: "Are you sick? Help me recover quickly!"

Xingqun was slightly stunned and said: "Your memory was blocked and your consciousness was distorted. We helped you recover..."

The handsome young man said: "I know, it was all of my own free will. Change it back quickly."

Xingqun listened to these words in disbelief and quickly asked: "Mr. Crazy, has he really returned to his original state? Is there still some residue of Zhou Bai affecting him?"

Crazy Delirium lied and said: "No, he has indeed returned to the state when he first entered this virtual world, and what he said was voluntary is also sincere."

Xingqun was puzzled: "But how is this possible?!"

Crazy Delirium Liakong explained: "From his memory, I roughly understand some of the reasons."

"He was not caught, but while playing a game, a connection symbolizing Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly popped up. Zhou Bai gave him a choice whether to reincarnate."

"If they are willing, they will temporarily have all their memories blocked for reincarnation. Each life will be randomly injected into Tongtian, Yuanshi, or Taishang. They will be injected into the memories of the three saints when they were mortals, and they will continue to reincarnate based on the template of the three saints. ."

Crazy Delirium Liekong said with great interest: "During this period, the memories of each life cannot be carried to the next life. Until the moment they become billionaires, their memories will revive and they can return with hundreds of millions of dollars." Quantum network, as for the memory of becoming a billionaire in the last life, you can choose whether to keep it before reincarnation begins..."

Xingqun's eyes condensed: "In other words, as long as you choose reincarnation... it doesn't matter if it is a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand or even a million years. For the chooser's body sense, it is the eyes. Just turn a blind eye and you’ve become a billionaire?”

Crazy Delirium Liakong added: "What's even better is that the time running in the virtual world is accelerated. Ten thousand years have passed here, but only a few years have passed outside."

He looked at the virtual world in front of him that transcended all real structures, gritted his teeth and said, "In other words, everyone who comes to this world is voluntary? What about those who are unwilling to participate in reincarnation? Where have they gone?"

Crazy delirium lied: "I don't know, this guy doesn't have this information in his head."

"Reincarnation... Rich..." Xingqun kept shaking his head: "It can't be such a good thing. Zhou Bai must be planning some conspiracy secretly in an attempt to further distort human consciousness and better enslave us."

Crazy Delirium lied: "Then go and have a look. I've probably found the source."

…

Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai came to a factory in the suburbs together.

Chu Qiguang's eyes seemed to scan the entire factory structure in an instant, and he said strangely: "I thought you would take me to some laboratory, database or secret base in the material world."

Zhou Bai shook his head: "There is no need to go to such trouble. As long as the data in the virtual world is stored in the physical world, then certain data in the virtual world will correspond to the coordinates stored in the physical world."

"Here we can also find the process of future demons transforming these consciousnesses, without having to cross the many blockades and defense lines in the material world."

"And he hasn't stopped us yet when we get here. It seems he wants us to take a look at his manufacturing process..."

While the two were talking, they had already entered the factory. Zhou Bai, the workers along the way, seemed to have not seen them, and they all continued their work.

The factory is like the most ordinary beverage factory, but the moment they step through the door of the factory, it is like entering a certain copy in the game. The instantaneous changes in time and space make them feel like they are in a huge dungeon. within the channel.

Zhou Bai said: "This is it, the place where the future demon transforms consciousness. This guy has also embodied this process in the virtual world. It's really disgusting..."

The two stepped forward and soon discovered that various... strange scenes were showing behind the glass windows on both sides of the passage.

"After pressing this button, your memory will be temporarily erased, your body will be temporarily taken over, and you will undergo a day of martial arts hard training."

"After a day of hard training in martial arts, you will regain the erased memory, and the memory of your hard work for a day will be erased."

Behind the glass window, Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai could see the experiences of intelligent individuals of different races and civilizations when faced with this choice.

Many people chose to press the button, and the moment they pressed the button, they lost their past memories and were forced by the machine to perform a day of hard training.

When the hard training ended, their memories were restored instantly, and the memory of the day of martial arts hard training disappeared without a trace.

One after another, the wise gods observed and perceived their own status in surprise.

In their physical sense...the moment they pressed the button, a day and a night had passed, and their bodies had gained the results of a day's hard work.

Some people feel sore and weak all over, some feel the growth of martial arts power, some feel the improvement of Yuan Shen's power... there are various gains.

Next, except for a small number of people who chose to cultivate their bodies and observe, most people continued to press the button.

One of the craziest teenagers... pressed the button a thousand times in one go.

He felt that he had instantly traveled to the world three years later and had the strength to practice martial arts for three years. In the eyes of others, he had become a super genius who practiced hard day and night.

When Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai saw this, the content behind the glass had ended. They continued walking along the passage and soon saw another scene.

"After pressing this button, your memory will be temporarily erased, your body will be temporarily taken over, and you will undergo ten days of martial arts hard training..."

It is still the choice of a large number of intelligent individuals after encountering the button, but the time of hard training has changed from one day to ten days.

The overall situation was not much different from the previous day. Zhou Bai and Chu Qiguang continued walking along the passage and soon saw the next experiment.

The period of penance went from ten days to one hundred days, and the number and frequency of button presses obviously began to decrease.

Most people tend to stagnate for a long time after pressing the button once, and wait until they have adapted to the new life before considering whether to press the button a second time.

In the next experiment, the time of hard training is still one hundred days, but the process of hard work... the person who presses the button will be sent to a different world, where every year spent there will only be the same as the original world. seconds.

As a result, the number of people who pressed the button increased wildly. Some people even pressed the button thousands of times at once. In his body feeling... it was that every time he pressed the button, his physical aura caused a surge, and finally even triggered a kick. There was an earthquake, causing the button to stop...

Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai continued walking. All the conditions in the experiment remained unchanged, except that the number of days began to increase.

From a hundred days, it gradually became a thousand days, ten thousand days, a hundred days... and even more than a thousand days.

A voice sounded in the ears of Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai: "The number of people who choose to press the button will continue to decrease as the number of days of hard training increases."

"Although it seems to me that there is no difference no matter how many days, a large number of experimenters don't seem to think so. Out of some kind of spiritual fear, most of the experimenters refuse to press the button that is more than a thousand years old."

"So we tried changing to an experimental caliber."

"There is no longer a description of the number of days, but directly changed to 'become an immortal'..."

Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai seemed not to be surprised by all the changes in front of them. They knew that this was something the future demon wanted to tell them, so they decided to wait and see what happened and continue walking along the passage.

"Press this button and you will be thrown into a different time and space to practice. No matter how long it takes in that world, only one second will pass in the real world."

"You will continue to practice hard in that world until you become an immortal."

"After you become an immortal, you will return to the real world again, and all the memories of your hard training will disappear, leaving only the knowledge and memory you need to control the power of the immortal..."

There is no longer a description of the number of days, but a description that in the eyes of many people, ‘you can obtain the cultivation of an immortal by pressing a button’.

So in the next experiment, the number of people who pressed the button increased significantly. The picture showed intelligent beings pressing the button one after another, feeling that they had instantly stepped into the realm of immortals, and then looked ecstatic.

When Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai came to the next glass window, the sound of quarrels continued.

In countless scenes, countless similar-looking people are quarreling fiercely.

A voice introduced: "Based on the previous experiment, we then launched a time-travel call."

"The experimenter before pressing the button, the experimenter who pressed the button and practiced hard for a period of time, and the experimenter after pressing the button, started a call that traveled through the past, present and future."

"It was up to the experimenters at different times to collectively decide... whether to press the button or not."

The experimenter, who had been practicing hard in another world for a while, shouted: "Let me go back quickly! Don't press the damn button!"

The experimenter before pressing the button frowned and asked: "Are you so tired? Can you keep persisting? This is an opportunity to become an immortal."

The ascetic said angrily: "This is not a life for human beings at all! How many years have they kept me in a small dark room? They tore my flesh and blood to pieces again and again, reorganizing my bones and meridians... This is hell! I want to Go back! I won’t practice anymore! I can’t hold on at all..."

The future experimenter after pressing the button: "Oh, don't worry, press it. After pressing the button, you can obtain the immortal realm. I have already obtained it..."

The ascetic said angrily: "Idiot! Don't click! You don't think about your own qualifications and character. It is impossible to become an immortal in the real world! Have you ever thought about what kind of ascetic training you need to do to become an immortal? How to torture? I have even died countless times..."

At this point, he was already trembling all over, and his eyes kept showing signs of despair.

He begged helplessly: "Please, don't press it, really don't press it!"

The experimenter before pressing the button looked at the other person and said helplessly: "Can't you really hold on a little longer? Look at me after pressing the button. I should be successful. How about I keep holding on?"

The experimenter who had been practicing hard for a year said angrily: "Why don't you come and persist!"

The experimenter before pressing: "I am you."

"You are not me! You can't feel my pain at all! I will go crazy..."

"You're right. I can't feel your pain anyway. I feel so good now. This kind of immortal power is so wonderful. Hey, hurry up and press... This is an opportunity to obtain the immortal realm..."

"No!!"

Similar quarrels occurred among different experimenters, and almost all the experimenters could not reach an agreement in the past, present, and future super-time and space dialogue.

Almost the vast majority of the experimenters who were in a state of asceticism chose to oppose it, while the future experimenters who had already pressed the button and achieved the immortal state chose to support it.

The only variable was the experimenter before pressing the button. Some people insisted on pressing the button after the quarrel, while others gave up pressing the button after the quarrel.

After watching this scene, the voice sounded again.

"The same consciousness, different time periods, and different memories create wildly different judgments, which may even contradict each other."

"The experimenter developed a strong tendency to split his consciousness during this experiment."

"To further strengthen this tendency, we decided to add some more experimental parameters."

So in the next scene, there are more buttons.

There is one that allows the ascetic to refine one more fairy weapon and come back with just one click.

There are also ones that allow the ascetic to practice one more celestial art with just one click.

Before each button press, the experimenter in three different tenses: past, present, and future will start a time-space dialogue to decide whether to press the button.

"More intense quarrels broke out among the experimenters, especially after the button was pressed many times. The ascetics more or less suffered from mental breakdown, suicidal and self-destructive tendencies..."

"Based on this, we added a batch of buttons that can determine the time of penance."

"In addition, a button was placed in front of the experimenter who was doing penance in another world."

"After this button is pressed, the past experimenter before the button was pressed... will be killed before the button is pressed."

"Faced with this extreme situation, many ascetics actually chose to press the button."

"Because of the appearance of this button, the results of the time-travel dialogue were greatly different. The experimenters in three different tenses, past, present, and future, began to discuss the time for penance."

"They test, argue, pressure, trade, go back on their word, lie..."

Zhou Bai looked at the experimental scenes in front of him and said with cold eyes: "Is this what the future demon did on his timeline?"

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Probably, but I'm afraid all these experiments were not done in the physical world. They should be done in the virtual world, which is low consumption, fast efficiency, and cost-effective."

Zhou Bai did not comment on this and just continued walking. He began to be curious about the results of this experiment.

…

Xingqun and his party also found the factory under the guidance of Crazy Lie Kong.

After they entered the factory, they also arrived in the passage after a series of time and space changes.

Walking along the passage, they also witnessed experiments one after another.

Seeing the experimenter's past, present, and future constant testing, quarreling, pressure, and transactions... the anger in Xingqun's eyes became more and more intense.

"Zhou Bai...he is playing with people's souls wantonly. It's really disgusting."

Crazy Delirium lied and said: "Keep going, don't you want to know the final result of the experiment?"

Xingqun and his group continued on. In the following experiments, more and more parameters were added continuously, and the experimenter's consciousness became more and more divided between different tenses.

And when the hyperspace channel opened between the three, more intense contact began.

All three want to become the leader, and a time-and-space battle spanning two worlds for the button begins instantly.

The future experimenter has the realm of immortals and is the most powerful, but cannot kill or seriously harm any of his past selves.

The ascetic has a tragic memory of asceticism and is the strongest in terms of combat experience, willpower, hatred, etc.

The experimenter before pressing the button in the past, although weak in strength, had a gold medal for immunity from death. As the source of everything, his two future selves would not dare to kill him, and could only resort to methods such as imprisonment, guidance, beating and scolding, and brainwashing.

When Xingqun originally thought that this kind of fierce fighting had reached its limit, a more brutal battle began.

The cross-dimensional channel between different experimenters was opened. What was originally just a battle between experimenters in different time periods suddenly turned into a battle between a large number of experimenters in different time periods.

The voice from the side sounded again.

"In this tragic experiment, experimenters in different tenses and different worlds fought, controlled, and fought for the ownership of the buttons."

"The degree of splitting of consciousness has reached a limit. In order to get rid of the limitations of the original body, some people began to actively choose to transfer consciousness, memory, and soul..."

"At this point, based on the data collected from these small experiments, we hypothesized that memory equals consciousness."

"The only thing that determines consciousness is memory."

"Only memory determines who we are."

"Memory determines who we will become."

"Memory is consciousness."

“By weaving memories, we can create unlimited intelligent beings that are theoretically possible.”

"So we started the second step of our plan..."

As Xingqun and others moved forward, experimental subjects named Chu Taibai appeared in front of them one after another.

This is a freak that combines the memories of Chu Qiguang, Taishang, and Zhou Bai. With the mixing ratio of different memories, more versions of Chu Taibai continue to appear in the experiment.

“Using memories to weave together, create individuals with infinite possibilities, and push the universe to an unlimited future. This is the vision of the Infinite Plan.”

When these words rang out, Xingqun discovered that the end of the passage appeared in front of his group.

And a man who looked like Zhou Bai was looking at them. He was the creator of this virtual world, Zhou Bai's most powerful peer, and a possibility that was once impossible to achieve - the future demon.

Future Demon opened his mouth and said: "Do you agree with this concept?"

"Absurd!" Xingqun said coldly: "Zhou Bai, you are just playing with human souls. Even if you can copy memories, erase memories, and weave memories, what you create is not the real person in the memory..."

Future Demon said calmly: "Then who are you?"

Xingqun was slightly startled.

Future Demon said calmly: "According to your memory, you are a star group, and you seem to think you are a star group now."

"So..." The Future Demon grabbed another star group with fear on his face from the darkness: "Who do you think he is?"

Xingqun looked at this scene in shock.

At the same time, a gate opened next to the future demon.

"According to our bet, let's have a conversation with your past self to see if you are Xingqun."

…

When Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai arrived at the finish line, they were talking to the Future Demon.

Future Demon said calmly: "Are you sure you want to make this bet?"

Zhou Bai snorted coldly: "Even if my memory is erased and new memories are poured into me, I am still me. This is enough to prove the error of your theory."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and blew, and a phantom flew towards the future demon.

The Future Demon reached out and grabbed Zhou Bai's distraction, turning it into a whirlpool and disappearing.

Zhou Bai said coldly: "How long will it take?"

Future Demon said calmly: "It's already fine."

The next moment, a door slowly opened.

"Look at Zhou Bai, you are still not you after the memory compilation."

On both sides of the door, Zhou Bai and Xingqun looked at each other, and Xingqun had a look of disbelief on his face: "I..."

Future Demon said: "You are Zhou Bai's distraction. Zhou Bai's memory was erased and Xingqun's memory was injected into it. Now, you feel that you are Zhou Bai or Xingqun."

Zhou Bai on the other side of the door stared at the other party closely, as if waiting for Xingqun's answer.

A huge sense of confusion arose in Xingqun's mind, but after he was silent for a moment, he regained his composure: "You are talking nonsense, I am Xingqun, how could I be Zhou Bai?"

"Are you kidding me? Zhou Bai!"

"Do you think you can play with human souls like this forever? Today is the day you end..."
