Chapter 856: Chapter 834: Mechanization_2

"When the time comes, those living here will no longer encounter any accidents in life. When they meet people, whether they succeed or fail, even birth, aging, sickness, and death, will all be part of a pre-written program. Every person will be endowed with the courage to face failure and death. ’The Sea of Souls’ does not exist for one person or a select few; its ultimate purpose is..."

At this point, RT6 deliberately paused for a moment, knowing that once she revealed this, Lu Xiang and Song Lan would spare no effort to seek out this program, "Its ultimate purpose is to turn the United Government into a machine."

That would be another form of consciousness network where everyone would work towards the same goal without being aware of it.

"You have never mentioned any of this to me before."

The "Emperor"’s gaze became much sharper.

"I have no obligation to explain this to you."

RT6 defiantly glared back at him, "Moreover, it’s uncertain whether these plans are still operational. The individuals who initiated these plans have already left the consciousness network."

Lu Xiang asked, "Are you referring to RT1, RT2, and RT3?"

"Think about it, how much time has passed since the dark age you defined? If they were really carrying out this plan behind the scenes, the transformation would already be complete. It wouldn’t have reached the point where those Worms had infiltrated The First Region, controlling so many council members."

RT6 had her doubts that the control over the council members through the Worms was an imitation of their methods.

She had never esteemed those so-called "Father Gods" that the Abnormal Creatures spoke of. During their past discreet battles with Psychic Users, those "gods" dared not show themselves. Only after both sides were wounded did the "Father Gods" dare to emerge, after the source of the Psychic Abilities had vanished for some reason.

"By the way, after that war, Mother changed her mind, and that’s how RT5 and I came to be."

The directives they were given was no longer to control and manage but to enter human society for observation and research. The difference was that she and RT5 had slightly different research focuses.

RT6 suspected that something must have happened towards the end of the war.

These words were actually meant for Song Lan, who was busy in the kitchen. Mother had once specifically mentioned this human in the consciousness network, advising them to treat him with a "cautious attitude."

After the incidents in The First Region and The Second Region erupted, RT6 then understood the reason for the caution.

This human liked to wreck homes.

And when he wrecked, it was half a city at a time.

She really wondered why no one had issued a warrant for Song Lan; if they did, his bounty would probably be a nine-digit figure.

In the midst of speaking, Song Lan brought the prepared fish soup to the table.

The fragrance immediately filled the entire room.

The "Emperor" couldn’t help but recall Song Lan’s lessons to Diago. When he left Silvermoon Harbor, Diago had opened a restaurant at the port with the gifts from Atlantis city people to thank him.

This big pot of fish bone soup seemed to bring back a measure of calm to the gradually intensifying discussion.

"Drink it while it’s hot."

"Okay, thank you."

The "Emperor" felt that the atmosphere at the dining table was a bit odd; it was quite different from what he had envisioned for a meeting with Song Lan. In his mind’s hierarchy, Song Lan was ranked on the same level as the mechanized gods. Thus, he had imagined that they would need to make a considerable effort to find an altar in a desolate place, with the possibility of unimaginable Psychic Entities lurking nearby.

When he finally offered up the frozen fish he brought back from Atlantis on the altar, a gateway to the world of Spiritual Energy would slowly open to them.

But in reality, they found Song Lan quite easily in the square, and after presenting the "offering," he warmly invited them for a meal.

But when you think about it, would an entity on the same level as the mechanized gods serve just a bowl of ordinary fish soup?

The "Emperor" carefully scooped up the milky soup from the bowl with a spoon and slowly brought it to his lips.

The next moment, his artificial eye burst forth with a dazzling red glow.

"This taste, this power...!"

"Don’t panic, this is just ordinary fish soup, made with the local speciality you brought back from the seaside."

"Oh, I meant to say it tastes quite good."

The glow of the "Emperor’s" artificial eye, which had been interrupted in the middle of "casting a spell," dimmed as well.

After drinking the fish soup, the significant enhancement of Psychic Energy that was expected did not occur, which made the atmosphere at the dining table somewhat awkward. The built-in analyzer in the operating system also provided him with the fish soup’s data. From all aspects, it was just a bowl of delicious fish soup and would not bring any additional attribute enhancements to him.

This time, Lu Xiang did not immediately start to eat. Instead, she covered her own eyes with her left hand.

At this moment, she really wanted to tell the "Emperor" that he was recognized by the United Government as The Strongest Six-Star Rescuer, and there were still many people who admired and revered him. Please don’t stray further and further on the path of a comedian.

An image of a man of few words and cool demeanor was what people imagined The Strongest Six-Star Rescuer to be.

And after witnessing the "Emperor’s" transformation, Lu Xiang suddenly realized that it wasn’t only the Sea of Souls that could modify their consciousness and personality without their awareness. On second thought, she had seen similar abilities a long time ago.

In RT6’s words, it began with the "Worms" and then rapidly spread to Ivan, Hanna, Jasmine, Hog Foster, the "Emperor," and others.

After much contemplation, Lu Xiang ultimately did not add the "Yaku Barrier" to this list, because according to her observation, he had likely become a comedian even before encountering Song Lan.

"By the way, I happened to overhear your conversation while I was in the kitchen."

As the atmosphere around the dining table gradually warmed up, Song Lan suddenly spoke up, "You said the Sea of Souls is a treasury, and its ultimate goal is to turn the United Government into a precise machine. But I’m curious about how one can ensure that the computations of this machine are absolutely correct?"

At his words, Lu Xiang and the "Emperor" involuntarily stopped and looked towards RT6.

They both wanted to know the answer to this question.

In the mechanized world she described, every individual would follow the correct path.

"Data, technological development pace, crime rates, economic growth rates, living standards... Artificial Intelligence can receive and organize in less than a second what humans would need days or even weeks to compile. And in analyzing this data, it wouldn’t be affected by any personal biases, emotions, or prejudices."

RT6 said bluntly, "If back in that era the United Government had been managed by Artificial Intelligence, life would definitely be much better than it is now."

After a while, she added, "But what I just mentioned is a theory of the past. Even Mother has given up on this theory. She felt something was missing in the old theoretical models, which is why she had me and RT5 do more in-depth observations of you all."

"In other words, the outdated theories could be flawed."

"You could say that."

"And you also mentioned that for some reason, your siblings might have already given up on the Sea of Souls."

"Yes."

"So it’s actually in a state of being unwanted at the moment."

"... Wait a minute, what are you trying to do?"

RT6 suddenly became alert and said, "Are you under the impression that you are the one who can make proper use of it? I’ll say this up front, every person who has tried to lay their hands on it has thought the same thing. They all acted under the guise of high-sounding reasons, yet in the end, they were all optimized by the program."

"I know."

Song Lan nodded and said, "But... I don’t think I ever mentioned using it properly."
