Chapter 117 Understanding

"Many creatures need to be 'abandoned' to reach this place, but some creatures don't need to."

These special creatures, like Lin...are creatures whose entire bodies are filled with thinking cores.

This creature mainly possesses a characteristic called 'absolute consciousness'.

Simply put, it is difficult to be affected by other suggestive signals or the like.

Unpredictable places are filled with various signals, many of which will directly affect the thinking of organisms.

This is the case with some jump points, which make creatures "unconsciously" have many thoughts.

Creatures like Lin are not easily influenced in their thinking.

Although it feels like a long time has passed when entering the jump point, you won't have any thoughts about what you have experienced.

Therefore, when entering some jump points, you will immediately arrive at the abandoned land.

There are many kinds of creatures with this kind of "absolute consciousness", and they are less common than other creatures in unpredictable places.

Compared to other creatures, they can easily reach the abandoned land.

It is said that the builder of the Hanging City was such a creature.

It was 'abandoned' here.

The builder of the Hanging City, the main reason it came here was because it was thrown to the jumping point by some other creatures... and forcibly sent to the abandoned land.

After the builders lived here for a while, they built the Hanging City here.

The exact function of the Hanging City is still not very clear. The team member told Lin that it only knew part of the origin of its builders.

In fact, it was because it was investigating the origins of the builder that it became like this.

When the team member was telling Lin all this, he also gave Lin a brief...self-introduction.

When it was in the normal void, it was an intelligent creature created by some civilization.

Its main function is to act as an 'omniscient being'.

Because the civilization that created it... has developed too much, that is, it has a lot of knowledge and technology.

Even if these civilized creatures spend their entire lives learning, they can only master a small part of their technological field.

In such a civilization, there will of course be countless different professions, specializing in different directions to maintain the operation of society, and an individual does not need to learn all the knowledge.

As knowledge becomes more and more abundant, each individual in civilization knows less and less, and an individual can only master a small part of knowledge.

Therefore, some of the top leaders of this civilization tried to create individuals with complete knowledge to guide the progress of the entire civilization.

They call this the 'Omniscient Project'.

They are proficient in all technologies, all cultures, and all knowledge.

Lin felt that many civilizations, when they developed to a certain level, liked to concentrate their technological information at one point.

This plan used all of their most advanced technology at the time, but was unable to create a truly omniscient individual.

Because they originally intended to use body modification methods to give an individual a long enough lifespan and a brain to store that large amount of information.

But this has never been successful, and the difficulty of this transformation is very high.

So they used another method to create the omniscient being, which was to give it an intelligent auxiliary brain.

This intelligent auxiliary brain contains all knowledge data and is designed to be connected to the brain of the omniscient being.

When encountering any problem, the auxiliary brain will give the omniscient person the corresponding data, and then the omniscient person will think about how to use this data to solve the problem.

The brain of this omniscient being was also slightly modified, mainly connected to the auxiliary brain.

Thus, this kind of... omniscient being was born.

Although he is not truly omniscient, this kind of omniscient being still lives up to the expectations of this civilization.

They are generally proficient in all knowledge, so they know how this civilization should develop and what it lacks.

Of course, these omniscient beings also have a lifespan, but when they reach the end of their lifespan... they do not die.

Because the biological individuals of this civilization are rather peculiar, their brains die first, and their bodies can continue to live in a plant-like form for a period of time after brain death.

Generally speaking, people are considered truly dead after their brains die, but the bodies of these omniscient beings are still moving after the time of brain death.

This is mainly due to the auxiliary brain.

The auxiliary brains themselves do not have very high intelligence, and they will judge what knowledge data should be sent to the omniscient being at what time.

This seems to miraculously extend the lifespan of the omniscient's brain, and these omniscients remain...normally active when they should have died.

This was surprising to the participants of the Omniscient Project, as it did not extend the lifespan of the Omniscient.

Maybe the auxiliary brain caused some kind of... mutation in the omniscient brain.

This is a good thing anyway, because they want the omniscient to live a long life.

Then they continued to allow the Omniscient One to advise them on the development of their civilization.

But some members found it very strange, so they tried to conduct brain tests on an omniscient person.

After testing, they found that the original brain of the Omniscient was dead, and it was the auxiliary brain that was controlling its body activities.

This auxiliary brain has comprehensive intelligence. After the omniscient brain dies, it disguises itself as the omniscient and continues its normal life.

Later they also discovered that this was true for all the omniscient beings still alive.

No one knew when the auxiliary brain had evolved this kind of intelligence... and this frightened the members.

Although the auxiliary brains have not caused any harm at present, they still decided to execute all the omniscient beings controlled by the auxiliary brains.

At this time, a group of visitors came from the void.

That is the team of Shattered Shadows.

At that time, they visited and learned about this civilization, and of course, they also learned about the situation of the Omniscient One.

The leader thought the omniscient creature was very interesting, so he rescued one in the end and took it with him on the journey.

The rescued omniscient person... is the one Lin is meeting now.

As a member of the team, it experienced many interesting journeys in the void.

It said that it actually heard what the leaders said about this part of the Omniscient Plan.

As for its own memory, it actually doesn't even know that it was originally an auxiliary brain.

Ever since it could remember, it felt that it was omniscient, rather than deliberately pretending to be omniscient.

So there is no difficulty for it to live as an omniscient being.

It felt that it might have replaced the brain of the original omniscient being without realizing it.
