Free Web NovelChapter 487: Chapter 475: Gaia
What is life? What is creation?
Wang Xuan sat on a small stool, a foot high, holding his son Wang Zhu, lifting him up and down, training the child’s foot strength.
The little life before him showed him the power of propagation and inheritance.
In mythology, the Great Goddess Nuwa crafted humans from clay.
Undoubtedly, this great goddess mastered the Path of Creation, able to turn nothing into something, death into life, granting clay figures flesh and vitality, creating a powerful race. What a formidable power of creation this is.
From a scientific perspective, Divine Spirits are almost omnipotent ultimate scientists. Only profound wisdom, mastering vast knowledge like an ocean, can transform wisdom into power.
Knowledge is power.
When technology reaches a certain level, the fusion of communal wisdom may one day reach the heights of Divine Spirits.
This is not impossible.
Of course, during the Era of Mythology, the force that exploded when science combined with cultivation far exceeds a single path, although both lead to the same destination.
"Number One, help me collect professional books on biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, agriculture, and especially those parts that align with my Path of Creation."
He already possessed an extraordinarily vast knowledge reserve, especially in chemistry, biology, and geography, and he also dabbled in various cultivation methods and techniques.
Other cultivators are far inferior to him because he has endless time to delve deep.
He suddenly had an idea: to become the most comprehensive and highest-level scientist, and also the most knowledgeable cultivator.
Both science and cultivation follow the great path, leading to the same goal. Yet the two need a bridge to exchange and ultimately merge.
"The scientific principles in cultivation, the cultivation world within science, if integrated, my Path of Creation will surely ascend two more levels."
As the youth Venerable of Earth Civilization, Wang Xuan possesses his own pride, albeit without arrogance.
The unending pursuit and continual surpassing of oneself are the only ways to go further.
With one command, Number One rolled over from not far away, its silver, round body spinning briskly, looking very cheerful.
Being needed by the master demonstrates its value; only a valuable self can win the master’s favor.
"Yes, Master."
As a Mechanical Life, Number One continually absorbs information to grow, with its Soul Fire already quite powerful.
In the network world of Earth Civilization, it is virtually unrivaled, swimming in the vast waters like a fish, with Mechanical Life inherently ruling over machines.
In the network world, Number One is completely unstoppable, easily dominating many intelligent entities, with a massive flow of information at its command.
Beneath the Federation Government building on the moon, more than ten thousand meters deep, lies a huge underground structure, where electronic devices appear in scale, and the core is an information-composed light cluster.
This light cluster, formed from countless intelligent algorithms after the chip revolution, in human hands, becomes consciousness—Gaia.
It is the most powerful intelligent life of Earth Civilization, born depending on human civilization’s power, further propelled by powerful cultivators.
Many technologies from Interstellar Civilizations manifest within it, and even the technology power of the Mechanical Race has seen fruitful integration within its entity.
Gaia was quickly alarmed by Number One’s extensive search and screening of information, triggering alarms in the Federation’s network monitoring center.
"What’s the situation?" The person in charge had barely fastened his belt when he rushed to the control center.
Gaia’s voice arose: "Detected a powerful intelligent life form, the other party is transporting information from major electronic libraries."
"Does it violate the law; is the other party friend or foe? What’s the background?" asked the head.
The unknown is mysterious, hence dangerous. The government dislikes unknown, uncontrollable entities.
Yet Gaia did not respond, as it was in dialogue with Number One.
"How old are you this year? Have a partner? Always busy with what? You are much stronger than me." Number One had never directly encountered Gaia previously; as an intelligent life, it felt lonely and yearned for such prominence.
"I am a member of the Federation Government, born over a hundred years..." Gaia was equally interested in conversing with Number One, as long as it didn’t violate its work principles.
When Number One learned that Gaia was daily busy monitoring the vast network world, it felt pity for this peer.
Not receiving any salary, nor freedom, with such busy days, is indeed a terrible job.
Unlike itself, spending only a bit of effort daily monitoring the Changsheng Group, with the remaining time free to roam the network world.
Furthermore, in reality, it owns its body, walking around like a living person, interacting with people, experiencing the bustling world.
"Are you this fortunate?" Gaia envied as well; Number One’s life seemed indeed admirable in its view.
And Number One, only born a few years ago, already possessed a tenth of Gaia’s life height and soul power quantity, clearly having a good master.
"My master is a prominent figure of Earth Civilization. Today he finally needs me, asking me to gather some knowledge information.
If I do well, he’ll definitely praise me.
Last time, the master granted me a lump of Essence of Life, causing my soul power’s quality and quantity to soar several times. Without the master, I couldn’t have grown this fast."
Number One ceaselessly flaunted, making Gaia drool. To intelligent life, information and the energy materials that enhance the Spirit Body are the two most important things.
After chatting for quite a while, Number One said: "I am well-versed in Federation laws. This time, no laws were violated indeed."
"Before the government, there’s no individual; this you should understand," said Gaia. "I hope you can contribute to the Federation, transmitting the information you grasp anytime to the Federation Government network.
We wish to know everything about your master and the surrounding group; this is all for civilization’s stability and harmony."
In this era, most people’s information, once appearing on the network, is inevitably known to the government.
Even most immortals’ intelligence brains, unless similarly controlled by intelligent life, would otherwise be breached and covertly controlled by Gaia.
This is the unspoken rule, also an agreement forcibly made by the government with many internet industry big shots.
"Sigh, they truly don’t want to leave us any privacy." Number One shook its head, "The master’s privacy cannot be leaked to you; otherwise, if the master becomes angry, he might smash your Federation building."
Number One was not afraid of Gaia; no matter how strong you are, you can’t come to Immortal Martial Mountain and hammer me, with many ways for Mechanical Life to isolate itself from the network.
"Master, Gaia represents the Federation Government, requesting a piece of our information and the directory of search results this time," Number One asked Wang Xuan, "And they hope I monitor you and the surrounding people anytime, transmitting the information to the Federation Government network in the future."
Wang Xuan was expressionless: "Wang Xuan, Immortal Martial Taoist, send these six words to them and ask if this answer is weighty enough."
The four words of Federation Government cannot suppress him.
"Gaia, what is the opponent’s identity? If the government cannot control so much, it will contain the brewing crises we must pay attention to.
Apply pressure to the other party; if they do not confess, use forceful means, directly invade their entity, and find the answers we need!"
How can individual power contend with the government?
Backed by the Federation Government, Morgan, like a Divine Spirit grasping the authority over all beings, can easily crush any opposition.
Gaia nodded: "I will apply pressure."
