Light Fortress

Chapter 1855: Chapter 451: Dead Sea Ancient Scroll (2)

He couldn’t see through Turing.

Instead, after staring for a few seconds, his mind felt tired and sore.

"Do not look directly at me."

Turing smiled and said, "Even though your spiritual power is quite strong now, it’s still not enough to directly gaze upon my soul... Of course, even if you had enough spiritual power, don’t look directly at my soul; it’s not a pleasant sight. I have neither a beautiful appearance nor a beautiful soul."

Gu Shen naturally wouldn’t take such self-deprecation seriously.

He withdrew his gaze, no longer scrutinizing Turing, and instead looked around the spirit space within the small iron box.

This sea area was unexpectedly "vast."

Endless.

There was simply no boundary in sight!

"This is the independent sea area I deliberately carved out before creating the [Deep Sea]."

Turing explained softly, "Faced with a Super AI like [Deep Sea], any creator would be cautious enough to leave a precaution..."

Gu Shen spoke up, "Such as the [Source Code]?"

"Exactly."

Turing laughed, "And also the array box."

Someone like him would certainly leave more than one precaution.

Obviously, once a Super AI like [Deep Sea] is created, it would rapidly develop in a way that is almost impossible to stop.

So, from the very beginning, Turing prepared for the worst-case scenario... and this array box sea area was one of his backups.

"This independent sea area can be integrated into the [deep water area] at any time."

Turing slowly said, "You can think of it as a ’virus’; the spirit within this sea area will spread and proliferate... This is the greatest driving force for the advancement of the ’Lion Awakening Technology’, and I will integrate the array box sea area into the [deep water area]."

"..."

Gu Shen was silent for a moment and then asked, "Can this array box sea area counter the eleventh-stage upgrade of [Deep Sea]?"

"This array box sea area is prepared for the post-eleventh-stage [Deep Sea]..."

Turing lowered his eyes and smiled.

He raised his hand.

In this virtual Spiritual World, all "objects" were fake.

An ancient sheepskin scroll projection appeared in Turing’s palm.

This scroll was fake.

But even as a projection... it brought a heavy feeling to Gu Shen’s heart.

"What is this?"

Gu Shen stared hard at the ancient scroll before him, sensing a familiar aura from this virtual ancient book projection.

"Haven’t you always been curious about where the Extraordinary Power comes from?"

Turing said calmly, "The Extraordinary Power comes from the ’Gospel Box’... During the migration of starship civilization, the Gospel Box shattered, giving birth to secondary fire seeds. Those who master the fire seeds are called ’Leaders,’ and in today’s era, they’re known as ’Divine Thrones.’ Leaders and Divine Thrones hold the authority directly linked to the origin of the Extraordinary Power."

He paused for a moment: "And this ancient scroll is that ’authority’ itself, symbolizing the ultimate Extraordinary Rules. Many years ago... it was known as the ’Dead Sea Ancient Scroll.’

"?!"

Gu Shen and Chu Ling’s expressions were vivid.

The Dead Sea Ancient Scroll... this thin ancient book actually symbolizes the ultimate Extraordinary Rules?!

"Once you fuse the fire seed, you will understand... [Deep Sea] is actually divided into three main areas."

"Shallow water area, deep water area, and... Dead Sea Zone."

Gu Shen knew about the shallow water area and the deep water area.

But the Dead Sea Zone.

He had never heard this name before...

Prior to this revelation, Gu Shen had vaguely heard that there was a Spiritual Sea Domain exclusively for the highest seat, inaccessible to others except the Divine Thrones.

So that was the "Dead Sea Zone"?

Dead Sea Zone, Dead Sea Ancient Scroll... From their names, there must be a close connection.

"I heard that the research on [Deep Sea] once faced difficulties..."

Gu Shen stared at the projection of the ancient book in Turing’s hand.

Back when the Ancient Literature Society was creating the [Deep Sea], the project was stuck and constantly delayed.

Until one day.

[Deep Sea] suddenly came into existence!

The world did not know the cause, but Gu Shen could guess at it... Back then, "Xiao" was a "member" of the laboratory, not a researcher but a subject of study. The laboratory cultivated spiritual bodies like "Xiao" to allow [Deep Sea] to come into being.

To push forward the progress of the Extraordinary Era with a scientific creation, it was necessary to incorporate "Extraordinary Objects" into it.

"Your guess is correct."

Turing laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I fused the ’Dead Sea Ancient Scroll’ with the main system... and that’s how [Deep Sea] came to be."

His voice was heavy.

This was the proudest as well as the most remorseful thing he had done over the years.

"Once the spirit of the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll was integrated into [Deep Sea], this Superbrain came into existence, expanding the Spiritual Sea Domain at an incredible speed and began evolving... My original intention was for the [Deep Sea] to advance human progress, but you saw what happened later."

Turing murmured, "This experiment, praised by countless people as great, I see as a failure."

If humanity were to head towards extinction because of [Deep Sea].

Almost all the blame should be borne by him.

At this moment, Gu Shen suddenly realized why this ancient book’s projection felt familiar.

He trembled as he spoke: "Is this... the Holy Book?"

The Light Temple possesses a few pages that can alter beliefs!

"Yes... the Holy Book is part of the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll."
