Chapter 95: Total Collapse (Part 2)
Tang Xian and the ruler of Eden, across millions of worlds, were like two opponents at the ends of a chessboard.
The upcoming confrontation was a battle of pure computational power.
Junlin still didn't know what to do, while Tang Xian sat, seemingly asleep, in a high tower throne built by Qi Yuan for himself in the mechanical kingdom.
[Are you not continuing northward?] Junlin asked.
"How do you know that the north of this world is what we know as north? While many settings of the original world can be applied to the new world, the sense of direction must be different from what we know."
Despite having his eyes closed and his Divine Sense beginning to spread ceaselessly, Tang Xian still left part of his mind to speak with Junlin.
At this moment, it was Tang Xian's first time using his will to control the Judgment Knights, and a large number of Judgment Knights began to spread out from all directions.
If one were to liken the Block World of Eden's ruler to a program, then the place where Tang Xian found himself was a virus repository.
He was manipulating tens of millions of "viruses" to invade an equally massive number of worlds.
These viruses had no consciousness and no emotions, they wouldn't be misled by the world's appearance.
And Tang Xian was simultaneously dividing his consciousness into millions of parts.
Humans often drastically reduce efficiency when multitasking, a few smart people can do three things at once, and very few geniuses can handle four or five things simultaneously, or even more, but not to a ridiculous extent.
The simplest way to perceive difficulty is to try drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand. Most people do this slowly.
Yet, there are still quite a few people who can do it.
But if a few more conditions are added, like drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand, while at the same time reading a book with the eyes, reciting a completely different text with the mouth, and tapping with the feet.
Handling several actions at the same time, people will find that the more they try to do one thing well, the other things either get put on hold or collapse.
Humans have limits.
So Tang Xian stopped being human too, as Qi Yuan was originally mechanical, with the strongest computational power in this world, this power has now transferred to Tang Xian, allowing him to no longer operate biologically, inclined to single-thread processes.
He is now a god.
Only after truly feeling the power of the Orderly Ones did Tang Xian understand that if Qi Yuan were still alive, if Qi Yuan were his opponent, the way to defeat Qi Yuan would not be through mutual calculations but through the humanity that Qi Yuan is unfamiliar with.
Because Qi Yuan's computational prowess was unimaginably strong.
Now Tang Xian can multitask, more precisely — multitask seventeen million ways at once.
All mechanical life forms began heading to other worlds, whatever their red eyes saw in the world would feedback into Tang Xian's mind.
At first, it was manageable, as they split from one world into sixteen worlds, then into two hundred and fifty-six worlds.
Then they continued to disperse, and around the fourth day, scenes from more than seventy thousand worlds were imprinted into Tang Xian's mind.
And this exploration, just like a real viral infection, kept increasing and spreading.
Tang Xian was exploring the full scope of the Eden World and the road to the Holy Land.
In this world full of ice and snow, be it the Judgment Knights or mechanical beasts, they tirelessly broke through ice and passed by many polar creatures.
Most of these creatures had already lost consciousness, living like walking corpses.
Whether it was the Elk Bear of the Northern lands or the Camel Snow Beast of Antarctica, the shapes of these creatures became more and more bizarre.
Not only in the world of ice and snow, but in the volcanic lava regions as well, the Lava Beasts completely lost consciousness and gradually changed their life forms.
This change was naturally not just in appearance, the blood vessel networks inside the Lava Beasts, like magma flow regions, were also gradually disappearing.
In the depths of the ocean, giant sea beasts were gradually becoming extremely small in size.
In this world, the evolution, degeneration, and mutation of creatures were actually consciously controlled by the world.
Through the continuous exploration of the Judgment Knights and the mechanical beast army, Tang Xian had clearly understood the plans of Eden's ruler.
This was a god with a compulsion disorder, as well as a god with a species bias.
Just like how it could transform all higher life forms humans could become into the unit "human" to seize consciousness.
And those lower life forms would be transformed by the ruler of Eden into another form, perhaps some weird creatures that need no food and only sunlight to survive?
In short, just like making all creatures above the natural disaster boss tier into humans, it could naturally make all those below into some kind of "servant" form.
These creatures had no freedom, no consciousness, no concept of "self."
In the future, they would live solely to provide countless vitality and energy to this world.
When Tang Xian realized this, he wasn't surprised at all.
Just like how Li Xiaoyu had roared from the bottom a year ago, this world, from the very beginning, determined the value of each person's life.
The Pyramid system is a manifestation of the biological hierarchy system.
