Chapter 495: Chapter 488: Idealism Creation Theory

"Want to know the reason?" Miss Nightingale looked at Luo’er and asked with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"I do!" Luoer nodded.

"The Ancient State’s Creating God Plan was actually initiated half a century ago, but it didn’t experience a significant breakthrough until the Earthlings invaded. The advanced scientific concepts brought by the Earthlings directly influenced and progressed the Creating God Plan."

As Nightingale spoke, her gaze suddenly dimmed, "However, the Creating God Plan wasn’t carried out entirely in daylight. There were those who schemed behind in the dark corners, employing inhumane methods to advance the plan. Once the plan was completed, even darker plots emerged."

Nightingale lowered her head, sighed, then looked into Luo’er’s eyes, continuing, "I know what you’re thinking. Why do I know all this? Why am I so clear about it? That’s because my father headed this plan. You want to know why I had to escape the Ancient States? Because my father was swallowed by darkness."

Nightingale’s story implied that her father had likely been ’dealt with’ using inhumane methods by the people of Ancient States, who had also plotted to get rid of her. However, Nightingale managed to evade their pursuit and fled to the Northern region.

But there was no refuge for people of the Ancient States in the North. Fortunately, she ran into a group that was setting up a headquarters. They took Nightingale in, raised her in the library, and made her their advisor in Otherworld.

"Miss Nightingale has been with the command for a long time, and she’s considered a member of our headquarters. Her loyalty is beyond any doubt, so please stop suspecting her," Li Si explained on the side.

"No worries, speaking of these matters helps me find some personal peace." Nightingale replied calmly.

"I’m sorry, I was too rash." Luo’er said, full of regret.

Nightingale ignored his apology, deeming time as the most crucial resource. She bypassed Luo’er and directly called on the two girls from the Advance Team, "Tangmo, Baiyue, both of you come over here!"

"W-what...?" Tangmo was pulled over by Baiyue and asked Nightingale, who was taller than her, timidly.

"Both of you need to start deciphering these rune designs immediately. These involve a lot of Earth’s programming technology, which is a bit too much for me," Nightingale said and snapped her fingers lightly. The once dimmed Magic Crystal Lamp in the surroundings immediately lit up, brightening the entire office.

Only then did everyone notice that the walls and windows of the office were covered with papers drawn with runes. As soon as Tangmo saw these papers, she couldn’t help but get excited and eagerly started to decipher the logic behind these runes.

Although these runes were drawn on paper, they couldn’t be activated. To activate the runes, they had to be either engraved on a hard object or drawn with special materials. Ordinary ink couldn’t activate the runes.

"What are these...?" Luo’er asked in surprise as he looked at the wall-full of runes.

"Part of the blueprints of the Creating God Plan," Nightingale gazed at the runes with a trace of sadness on her face, "these are the results of my father’s labor. I couldn’t protect them. It’s ironic that the Church Court was the one who managed to collect them in the end."

"What are they going to do?" Luoer pointed at Tangmo and Baiyue and asked.

"Decoding, to find the key of the Creating God Plan and reverse compile it," replied Nightingale.

"Didn’t the supercomputer already calculate the feasibility?" Luo’er asked in confusion.

"The supercomputer did calculate, but it only assessed feasibility. As for why it’s feasible and where the key point lies, the computer didn’t give a definitive answer, so we need to analyze these materials," Li Si explained on the side.

"At present, the theoretical foundation of the Ancient States’ Creating God Plan is still the Idealism Creation Theory, which is my father’s theory, and, to this day, they have not made many modifications," Nightingale said as she looked at the runes.

"Idealism Creation Theory?" Luo’er asked her.

"Yes, it might sound a little fantastical, but it essentially involves endowing a soul with divinity, allowing it to evolve and ascend, to become a true god," Nightingale explained.

"That sounds even more fantastical..." Luo’er said a bit awkwardly.

"Put simply, it involves extracting a person’s consciousness and merging it with calculated magic components to achieve ascension," Nightingale continued.

"Could you be a bit more specific?" Luo’er couldn’t help but ask, coughing slightly.

Nightingale glanced at him before patiently explaining, "The people of the Ancient States use these runes to compile concentrated magic, reshaping it into the magical pattern they need, forming what we call magic components. Based on this, the Ancient States once proposed two plans: the Materialist Creation Theory and the Idealism Creation Theory. I gave them these translations because they fit perfectly in this context."

"The Materialist Creation Theory affirms that God does not exist and needs to be artificially created. They create a so-called god by compiling more magic components, simulating the principles of Earth’s electronic computers. This concept is similar to artificial intelligence on Earth. However, their tech reserve can hardly be compared to that of Earth’s; they can’t even build a computer, let alone artificial intelligence. As such, the Materialist Creation Theory went down a dead end."

"The Idealism Creation Theory, while also affirming that God does not exist, does not require artificial creation. They plan to use human consciousness to govern these magic components. That is, they use humans as the central control of the magic component agglomerates, completing the supposed creation of a god."

"I’m still a bit confused," Luo’er said blankly.

"I can understand this!" Cheng Ziang suddenly stepped forward, rubbing his chin in thought.

"Oh, do tell," Nightingale looked at him with interest, tilting her head to one side.

"Let’s assume this situation: Humans on Earth have not yet created artificial intelligence and still rely on people to manage information processing. As such, all operations require human involvement. Suppose we want an unmanned drone to bomb a certain area, we need someone to remotely control it, completing reconnaissance and bombings,"

"Of course, this may sound too primitive. We can have someone engage their consciousness in the information network through a sleep pod, and then control the drone to do reconnaissance and bombing missions. Following this reasoning, we could use a similar method to take over other interfaces in the information network to replace the work done by artificial intelligence. Simply lying in bed, one could use consciousness to drive cars and perform projections, completing various tasks," Cheng Ziang explained.

"Isn’t this practice somewhat foolish? If I want to eat, do I only need to drive to the restaurant in my consciousness, then imagine eating?" Hu Daoke couldn’t resist commenting.

"Not at all foolish, because the scenario I assumed is on Earth, where the network can only directly influence people’s lives through terminals. If we cut off the car’s network, we could no longer remotely control the car through the network. However, the Otherworld is different. It doesn’t discern between a network and reality. The atmosphere is filled with magic, and once someone achieves ascension, they can influence the real world even without using a terminal," Cheng Ziang responded with a cool tone.

"So," Luo’er seemed to understand a bit better, "the so-called Idealism Creation Theory is to use human consciousness to control a magic agglomerate, and because the air in the Otherworld is filled with magic, this compiled magic cluster will not disappear, and can even interfere with the world according to the operator’s consciousness."

"Exactly, that is the Creating God Plan. On the surface, it seems like the Ancient States’ masterpiece in understanding consciousness and even magic, but in reality, it is a thorough military weapon," Nightingale said evenly.

"Ah, now I get it. They want to connect their consciousness to a self-repairing robot through a virtual machine and use it to cause trouble!" exclaimed Hu Daoke, his face expressing his sudden understanding.

"That’s the real goal of the Creating God Plan, to use a consciousness network to remotely control magic weapons, advancing their military weapons development," Luo’er nodded in agreement.
