Purgatory Artist-Chapter 429: The World Is Mine
Chapter 429 - The World Is Mine
An endless abyss.
One door after another floated silently in the depths of the sea abyss, spiraling upwards.
On each door, the corresponding year was written:
|True World Year 2571|
|True World Year 2572|
|True World Year 2573|
|....|
Liu Ping went through countless doors and floated up along the current.
Which door should he enter?
Actually, there were a lot of things waiting for him to do.
The reason why he left that era was to prevent the two Andrea's from meeting each other, to prevent one of them from being erased by the Laws.
At the same time, it was to ensure that the timeline and Causality Law wouldn't change too much.
Then.
He just had to choose a time when Andrea had already left the Void Pillar.
While Liu Ping was thinking, the Tome suddenly jumped out and automatically opened in front of him.
Bam!
The baby girl appeared in his arms with a pacifier in her mouth.
"These years won't do, continue to head upwards" she sent her telepathic message.
"Is it the power of Fate that's guiding you?" Liu Ping asked.
"It can allow me to sense the thing that you want to avoid" the baby girl answered.
"Alright, let's go!"
Liu Ping carried the baby girl and floated up.
The doors of time were left behind by him, slowly disappearing into the abyss.
Finally.
"It's that one." the baby girl said.
Liu Ping stopped and looked at the door in front of him.
A line of small text was written on the door:
"True World Year 3001"
The baby girl spoke: "This is a year full of changes, everything in the past is coming to an end right now, everything is rapidly changing, those living beings caught in the vortex, no one knows what will happen in the next second"
Liu Ping said: "Let's go take a look"
He put his hand on the door and pushed.
Lines of burning words quickly jumped out and floated in front of his eyes.
[Attention, you are currently entering True World Year 3001]
[According to your world affiliation, you will enter the human world on the Void Pillar]
The text floated without moving.
The surging seawater flowed into the door. Liu Ping lightly leapt forward and followed through the door.
...
Night.
Neon lights flashed above the city that never sleeps.
Numerous shuttles flew across the sky.
Rows upon rows of skyscrapers resembled a forest, occasionally releasing light that shot up to the sky and manifesting into various illusions.
The center of the city.
A fountain.
A corpse in a suit was floating in the pool.
Seven or eight police shuttles surrounded the fountain, completely sealing off the area.
Several policemen stood by the pool with their arms crossed, constantly looking at the data of the incident from the holographic screen.
"I really don't get it. Is this murder?
Or some other kind of performance art? "
"Murder?
Haha, who would dare to do such a thing in this day and age? The quantum central brain can monitor everything in real time, and the murderer will be executed immediately. "
"In my opinion, this death is a performance art. His consciousness must be stored in some online address."
"This man looks to be in his forties, but his actions are not dignified at all."
They chatted casually, and their faces were filled with relaxation.
Suddenly.
A voice sounded from behind them:
"The identity of the deceased has been confirmed."
"He's a member of the World Council, his consciousness is stored in an ancient chip, there's no backup in the online world."
The policemen looked back.
They saw a bearded man standing behind them.
"Boss, you're here!"
"Good morning, Boss!"
"A member of the World Council?
That's why you specifically came here to deal with it, right? "
Everyone was talking at once.
The man walked up to the fountain and ordered: "Immediately retrieve the corpse, the central brain has already recorded everything, because ..."
"He doesn't have a backup body"
The policemen's expressions changed.
Quite a few of them even appeared fearful.
Without a clone, the transfer of consciousness would be difficult and would have to be redone from the corpse.
If this person's consciousness chip was destroyed as well.
Then he would truly be dead.
There would be no other way to revive him.
From the shuttles, several 5-6 meter tall robots lightly jumped down, extended their long mechanical arms, and began to retrieve the corpse.
One of the robots quickly transformed into a sealed operating room, while another robot was assembled outside the operating room, slowly turning into a set of intricate operating instruments that appeared in the operating room.
A small slit was cut open on the head of the deceased.
An extremely thin metal wire reached in and took out a silver chip.
A flash of light scanned the chip.
At the very next moment.
A dignified female voice resounded in everyone's ears:
[The chip has been destroyed]
[World Council member No. 295's consciousness has been duplicated]
[This case has been raised to World Security level]
[Everyone get ready]
[According to the world's defense standard 5th set of procedures, begin the pursuit mission]
Everyone's hearts tightened as they replied in unison: "Yes sir!"
Everyone started to get busy according to the missions that appeared on their screens.
At the same time.
In the air.
Liu Ping stood still, watching what was happening below with great interest.
Everyone turned a blind eye to him.
The robots in charge of security constantly scanned the night sky and the streets, but didn't notice him either.
Ever since he absorbed the umbrella bearer's hand, he had grasped the power of Occultism, then gained a deeper understanding of the power of obituary.
Although the Earth Burial Vault had sealed away these powers,
Liu Ping had already obtained the corresponding knowledge. He began to use his Occultism power to construct a few abilities.
The simplest way to use it was to make everyone ignore him.
"I didn't think humanity would develop so quickly" he exclaimed.
"What do you think?" Yana's voice followed.
Liu Ping paused.
Reality, year 2037. I'm busy fighting in the Crypt of Nightmares.
Yana managed the development of the human world.
"Yana, thanks to you, the human world is doing quite well right now" Liu Ping praised.
"As long as you're satisfied, but it's been so long, who knows if they've developed according to my plans or not" Yana was a bit nervous.
Liu Ping suddenly sensed something and looked up.
In the depths of the night sky, a huge holographic image shot up, forming the image of a person out of thin air, floating in mid-air.
It was Yana's image.
The majestic holographic image floated in the air, while Yana's image was also looking down on the world, like a God.
Liu Ping whistled and smiled. "See, Yana, they still miss you."
Card Tome moved.
Yana didn't appear, instead, a white cat jumped out first.
The white cat sat on Liu Ping's shoulder, narrowing her eyes as she looked around.
"Liu Ping"
Zhao Chanyi's voice sounded in Liu Ping's mind.
"What?" Liu Ping asked.
"I found something that I need you to take a look at immediately" Zhao Chanyi said.
The white cat formed a hand seal with her paw.
Spiritual light immediately converged and formed images in the void.
The images showed various groups of people protesting.
They raised Yana's portrait and made a big cross on it.
"This isn't the life we want!"
"We reject evolution!"
"We don't want prosthetics!"
"We want to do what we want to do!"
The crowd shouted, attacking all the buildings around them.
"This kind of thing happens everywhere, almost everywhere" the white cat said.
The smile on Liu Ping's face slowly disappeared.
Yana suddenly appeared and calmly spoke: "The things I did in the past were only to give humanity a chance to survive among the myriad races of the void, perhaps I did neglect some mental care, Liu Ping, you don't need to care"
"Don't care?" Liu Ping asked.
Yana chimed in "Why bother with mortals, we're still waiting to hear Andrea's story, didn't you say she could help you become stronger?"
"That's true"
Saying so, Liu Ping looked at the images again.
He saw quite a few people giving speeches, cursing, and venting their dissatisfaction with the world.
At a crowded gathering place.
The person standing on the stage shouted: "Who should be repenting the most?"
The people below replied in unison: "The Angel of Repentance, Yana!"
"That's right, she's the one who turned this world into this! We don't want this kind of life! "
"We don't want prosthetics!"
"Technology is a sin!"
"The myriad races of the void are born equal!"
The crowd shouted loudly.
Liu Ping seriously looked at it, then shook his head:
"In truth, even if we didn't do enough in the past, the successors only needed to fill in the gaps. But now, they're denying the foundation of civilization. They think they're smart, but they're just a bunch of rabble. They only know how to follow the crowd and be moved by themselves, but they themselves don't have enough knowledge, they haven't honed their unique talents, and they haven't seriously thought about what they want to do with their lives"
Countless lights flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, a hand reached over and stroked his face.
Yana.
She lightly shook her head and gently spoke: "These are all small matters, you should focus on your own things instead of wasting your energy on these things"
"No, Yana, you're wrong" Liu Ping said.
"Hm?" Yana looked at him.
Liu Ping softly spoke: "You and I established the foundation of human civilization's development. Now, these people clearly have a near-eternal lifespan, but they're openly opposing and slandering the founder of civilization"
"What are you trying to say?" Yana asked.
"This will bring about self-destruction" Liu Ping said.
He casually waved his hand and a screen of light appeared in the void of space.
"I remember telling you to set the trigger conditions" he spoke.
Yana sighed: "No matter when, if a human with Occultism is detected, with the Warden Blade in hand and me standing next to him, it can directly activate the most basic authority of the Smart Brain"
"Ah" Liu Ping took the Warden Blade in hand.
Yana lightly leaned on his other shoulder and lowered her head, not looking at the white cat's disdainful expression on his other shoulder.
A few moments later.
A screen of light appeared in front of Liu Ping.
Following that was a dignified female voice:
"Welcome back"
"The founder of civilization, Liu Ping"
Liu Ping spoke: "I want to delegate authority"
The female voice spoke: "Please go ahead"
"From now on, anyone who is dissatisfied with Yana is not allowed to use any of Yana's technological creations." Liu Ping said.
"What if they already have them?"
"Take them all away"
"But according to the rules set by lady Yana, no one's personal belongings can be forcefully taken away by the Smart Brain, how should I explain this?"
Liu Ping glanced at Yana.
Yana leaned on his shoulder and spoke in a low voice: "You decide"
Liu Ping coldly spoke: "Tell those people, the world is mine"
