Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1339: Artificial Life

[Now that the main course had been served, after seven or eight meals, Grace served dessert to Alan and Alice, poured them full of wine, and retreated to the door to be the gatekeeper. The old man knew that Alice didn't want anyone else to stay, so he sent all the maids away, leaving only himself to serve the two of them.

He was blind, but his expression towards Alice was burning with excitement. Because what Alice was going to say next was definitely related to her own secrets, and because Alice tacitly allowed him to stay, this was a great amount of trust. He wanted to serve Alice as many housekeepers as possible, but no one had the privilege to do so. This expert who had once flipped through the clouds with one hand on the vast wasteland was now like the first child to receive candy, unable to resist the excitement in his heart.

Alice drank a mouthful of "red wine" and said, "You may find it hard to believe, but the truth is, I am not a natural being. I am a man-made creature, an artificial creature."

When Alan heard about the Creator, he had a vague feeling that Alice's origins were not simple. However, his fingers still trembled when he heard "artificial life". Even today, artificial life was no longer a rare technology. Even the Earth Federation had this level of technology. However, artificial life was barely intelligent, and needed to be implanted with a smart brain chip to perform some simple tasks. There was a time in federal history when the federal government intended to replace soldiers with artificial life, an extension of Adahua Planet's plan to transform warriors.

However, due to the high cost and the fact that the artificial soldiers who implanted the chips would faithfully carry out their orders, they were eliminated due to their lack of adaptability, the final plan was halfway through.

Now that Alice claimed to be an artificial life, she was definitely the most intelligent, powerful, and resilient artificial life that Alan knew.

"When I first opened my eyes, the planet was desolate. Apart from wild beasts, there were no high-level creatures on Agares. Only with me did the Barbarians come into being. I am Sbernak's mother and the mother of all Barbarians. I am the mother of all living beings. "It's a living god, if the people of this planet believe in God." Alice shrugged her shoulders. "Unfortunately, they believe more in their own strength."

Another shocking piece of news.

Alan suddenly felt that his imagination was so vague. He believed that Alice had an incomparably long lifespan, but he never imagined that she was the history of the entire Bar Race alone. After all, she was the source.

'"A gentleman doesn't ask a woman's age. If you want to ask me how long I've lived, I can only tell you for a long time," Alice smiled when she saw Alan's mouth move. After a long time, I had to choose to forget some things so that I wouldn't go crazy. Yes, every time I wake up from a deep sleep, I clear some of my memories and keep only the most important ones. For example, about my creator. "

"This is impossible. There are no eternal things in the universe. Planets have life and death, let alone life. Even artificial life forms cannot escape the fate of death "

Alice picked up a soft piece of cake with a silver fork and chewed it in her mouth, "Who told you I wouldn't die?" I'm going to die, too. In fact, I've already died a hundred times. However, after death, I will be reborn. After I was reborn, I was extremely fragile. I only retained my memories and experience, while my strength and spiritual energy needed to be regained through growth. So I need generals and troops to protect me. I'm at my peak now. The next time I wake up from my slumber, I will begin to weaken and die. "

"Death is not my end. Samsara is my destiny. That's all."

Alan drank all the wine in his glass, but he still felt that it was hard to calm his heart down. However, he was still shocked and tried to keep up with Alice's thoughts. When he put down the glass, his movements suddenly stiffened and the glass floated in the air. A moment later, he gently placed it on the table and looked at the mysterious woman, "What's the meaning of this? What's the meaning of this immortal reincarnation?"

'"Life is limited by the limits of its life span. It can shine with infinite brilliance in a limited amount of time. If life is like you, it becomes a boring journey, don't you think all of this is meaningless?"

Alice stretched out her finger and gently turned the rim of the cup, "Yes, what's the point?" I've asked myself more than once, what's the point of doing this? Unfortunately, I do not know how to die, when to die, the real death. I can't commit suicide, either. The creator must have planted some sort of order in my gene for that. Every time I think about committing suicide, I automatically fall asleep. "

"In the end, the only reason I'm alive is to wait for him to return."

"Who?"

"Creator." Alice looked at the glass, which reflected her face, and looked at herself, saying, "In the old memories I have kept, the Creator said something when he left. He said I would come back, and I believe he would. There is absolutely no reason for this, and even I suspect that this is one of his orders. It's just a tactful order. No matter what, I'll wait. Even if it was a thousand years, ten thousand years, until the universe was destroyed. As long as I haven't really died, I'll wait. "

"If I don't do that, then my existence is meaningless, isn't it?"

All of a sudden, Alan felt sad for her. She had a long life and strength comparable to a supreme being, but there was no point in her living. Such a life was paler than death.

"Don't show such a sad expression." Alice shook her head and said gently, "After all, I didn't wait for nothing, because you came."

"Me?"

"That's right. Didn't I say that you have his aura?" Alice stood up and untied her hair net, letting her long hair drift down like silk. She walked over to Ellen, wiped her hand over the edge of the table and whispered, "I woke up more than three hundred years earlier than scheduled because I sensed your aura." Originally, I thought that the Creator had finally returned. I didn't know it wasn't until I saw you. But I'm not disappointed. I'm sure you have some sort of connection with him. "It is precisely because of this connection that I am certain that you will be able to help me accomplish that."

Ellen sighed, "To be honest, you're stronger than me. Why don't you go to Demoic Ring City yourself? Also, you and Spenak "

"That child was once my favorite treasure." Alice came to Ellen, turned around, and leaned against the table, looking out of the window with her hands on the table. "At the beginning of time, Agares was very young and desolate," she said blurriedly. The creator and I came to this planet, and he built something here. That place is the ancient ruins I told you about. In order to protect this place, the creator tore open the earth and created the Lost Abyss. And in the middle of this abyss, on the ground connected to the Realm of the Forgotten, he erected the Canon Black Gate. "

She tilted her face slightly and smiled faintly at Alan, "I was the first gatekeeper. I watched the place for 1,200 years outside the creator's departure." But then, I discovered that nothing could enter the Black Gate. Agares' beasts didn't even dare to approach the Abyss. Whether it was the aura left behind by me or the creator, it made them instinctively scared. "

"So I left Black Gate and travelled around, and at first I was curious about new things. But after traveling like this for hundreds of years, I'm tired of it. This planet is too desolate, and I'm too lonely. I returned to the Black Gate and settled down nearby. Then I began to create life. There was no lack of such knowledge in my memory, but I lacked experience. So almost all the life I created was a failure, and it wasn't until I combined my cells with Agares' primordial life that I was able to succeed. "

"That's the first Barre on Agares."

The shock in Allen's heart could no longer be expressed in words. It turned out that the Barbarians had actually come from this place. What Alice said was simply a myth or a legend. Could it be that she called herself a living god? After calming himself down, Allen's heart shook. "Then the tolerance in the Baltic gene " he said.

"Come from me."

Alan shook again. If that was the case, then how similar was Alice to the old Queen Bug on Planet Heaven? The difference between the two was only in the form of life, but the essence was the same. Alice continued, "I was just trying to make my new life more adaptable to the environment. After all, there were too many instances of people dying because they couldn't adapt to the environment in the previous failures." "That's why I thought of using my own cells as a basis, but I didn't expect to create new life forms. Their genes also inherited genes that I could compatible with other life forms, and they absorbed and evolved."

"With this characteristic, the Baltic race grew rapidly. I bet no other race in the universe grows faster than my children. They had grown too quickly. It had only taken them a few hundred years to develop from the primitive stage of ignorance to the initial stage of civilization. And when they left Agares, their evolution became even faster "

Alice paused for a moment and said, "Sbernak, the child I used to call Naboo was born when the Barbarians first walked out of Agares "

"At that time, I thought of the Creator again. I created this child by reference to the Creator's appearance. Naboo, in the ancient language system of the Baltic people, there is a meaning of creation in itself. I hope that the child born will be like the Creator." Alice lowered her head and whispered, "He is the first child I have allowed to live in this castle, and the first child who has allowed him to call me mother." I put all my hopes in him, but he turned out to be nothing more than my wishful thinking. And in his foundation, he was a Barre. No matter how much he looked like a creator, he was not a creator, but an ambitious, power-hungry Baltic!
