Chapter 1 The Old World

After hanging up the communicator, Turing silently put down the can of soda. He watched the sky outside the window gradually darken as the main vessel entered the [Old World].

The arrival of a new era is inevitable for humanity.

If you want to soar, you must first learn to walk steadily. If the Five Continents Civilization wants to reach the level of a "starship"... the transcendence of all people is inevitable.

The research on Lion's Awakening technology was originally intended to be good.

However, when such a powerful tool that can change the fate of mankind should be released, and in what way... are always issues worth careful consideration.

If [Deep Sea] hadn't launched that massacre...

Maybe... humanity would have entered the age of transcendence thirty years ago.

It's ironic that what [Deep Sea] tried its best to accomplish, "the awakening of all people," was actually what the Ancient Text Society had been working hard to promote. It killed the Ancient Text Society, seemingly getting closer to the goal, but the actual effect was the opposite.

The eleventh upgrade of [Deep Sea] completely enveloped the seven small continents... Now the main system possesses absolute monopoly control. Yang Jun really can't think of a good way to promote Lion's Awakening technology in this situation.

After coming to the spiritual world, he was no longer "Cui Zhongcheng."

"I fused the 'Dead Sea Scrolls' with the main system... that's how [Deep Sea] came to be."

This sea area is surprisingly "large."

But even as a projection... Chu Ling felt the pressure in his heart.

Turing has worn too many crowns. "When the butcher's knife fell eighty years later."

A wrapped, ancient parchment projection appeared in Turing's palm.

"Do you know the 'Holy Book'?" Yang Jun frowned slightly. Speaking of which.

"And the essence of the collapse of order actually comes from the 'Dead Sea Scrolls.'"

Chu Ling had already guessed the countermeasures Turing would take—and the seventh bronze box could be regarded as his compensation to his old friend.

Chu Ling and Bai Xiu's expressions were very calm.

This airship was able to navigate because it was lifted by the [Thunder Realm Walker].

Both of these represent the ultimate "transcendent power." The more transcendent power is used.

Chu Ling stared at the ancient book projection in Turing's hand. "[Deep Sea] has been upgraded eleven times..."

Chu Ling tried to focus his eyes and see clearly through the millions of faces to see Turing's real face... but he failed. Behind the millions of faces were still millions of faces.

Turing maintained a close spiritual connection with [Source Code], so Chu Ling heard every word of the conversation just now very clearly.

On the other side, Bai Xiu and Turing gathered in this sea of array boxes in the form of spiritual bodies.

Instead, his spirit became tired and sore after focusing for a few seconds.

So that's the "Dead Sea Area"? He snapped his fingers.

Turing's gaze turned to the distant void.

*Clatter.*

"Over the years, the [Deep Sea] main system has been evolving."

[Source Code] could only lie dormant and endure after winning the first Code War.

The main vessel entered the [Old World] and docked with the solitary miniature vessel.

This ancient book is fake. The more it will cause black holes.

At this moment, Chu Ling suddenly realized why the projection of that ancient book looked familiar.

Obviously, once a super AI like [Deep Sea] is created, it will develop rapidly, and its momentum can hardly be stopped.

Turing said softly, "Even in the age of starship civilization, not everyone can become transcendent... Lion's Awakening means 'gain,' and in this world, there is gain and loss. If you want to gain 'transcendent power,' you are destined to lose something. In the next civilization, the 'Awakening Act' has already been promulgated once, so I know that some old paths cannot be taken again."

In this virtual spiritual world, all "objects" are fake.

He is already a dead man. Dead men no longer need "fame." If Lion's Awakening technology can save the world from fire and water, then he hopes that the world will remember the name "Lu Cheng."

Then almost all the blame should be borne by him. Turing smiled, "Take the array box for example."

He shook his head and smiled, "You think too highly of me, and too highly of Old Lu. Such things have not been developed to this day. Whether it is the one obtained from the Source Tower, or the one in the bronze box in Lion Lane, neither can be called 'passed,' although the former's technology is better than the latter's. After Old Lu stopped the research, I was still silently continuing... The 'Lion's Awakening technology' in the seventh bronze box actually contains my research results over the years." He is not alone.

"Once you refine the Fire Seed, you will know... [Deep Sea] is actually divided into eight major areas."

[Thunder Realm Walker] lifted the silver airship and finally hovered above a cloud layer in the East China Sea. Gu Shen "manually" manipulated the silver airship to slowly descend.

Accompanying a sigh.

He said bitterly, "I am also very curious about this question. But I have traveled in this world for so many years, and I have never found the answer."

Just came one day.

Yang Jun knew the shallow and deep water areas.

He withdrew his gaze, no longer examining Turing, but looked around the spiritual space within the small iron box.

Dead Sea Area, Dead Sea Scrolls... judging from the naming, these three must have a close relationship.

After the red light shone, Gu Shen actually felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart!

Turing said, "Transcendent power comes from the 'Gospel Box'... During the migration of the starship civilization, the Gospel Box shattered, giving birth to second-level Fire Seeds. The wielder of the Fire Seed was called a 'Leader,' and in today's era, they are called 'God Seats.' Leaders and God Seats control the authority that directly points to the origin of transcendent power."

But Mr. Turing...

Turing murmured, "In my opinion, this great experiment praised by countless people is actually a failure."

He didn't mention these words to Lu Nanzhi. "Don't forget, I am Turing."

Turing frowned. Turing lowered his eyes and smiled.

He maintained his youthful and flourishing spirit, and every strand of thought was as fiery as flowing fire. The mental sea area of the array box was slightly cold and dead, but because of his existence, the entire sea area had a bit more dazzling scarlet color.

Countless ripples spread.

Gu Shen did not hesitate and manipulated the airship to immerse itself in the sea. After the entire vision turned pitch black... he saw the huge shadows in the deep sea. It was a steel island as wide as a whale's back.

The Dark Shrine possesses a large number of pages that can tamper with faith!

Turing seemed to know a lot about starship civilizations.

Presumably he saw everything that happened on the Seven Continents.

"About the 'Transcendent War.'"

If humanity perishes because of [Deep Sea]. He couldn't see through Turing.

"Aren't you always curious about where transcendent power comes from?"

Chu Ling stared at the ancient scroll in front of her. She felt a familiar aura from the virtual ancient book projection.

Strictly speaking, Turing was no longer limited to the stage of "understanding."

Turing smiled.

A person like him, of course, could not only keep one trick up his sleeve.

The scene before his eyes changed.

He looked at Chu Ling with some confusion.

Of course, Chu Ling would not take such self-deprecation seriously. That is...

Before he became famous, Chu Ling vaguely heard that there was a spiritual sea area exclusively for the highest seat. Apart from the God Seats, no one else could enter.

Chu Ling opened his mouth, "For example, [Source Code]?"

"But... forbearance and waiting are for the final counterattack."

"Scattered transcendent rules, scattered into the world with the fragmentation of the Dead Sea Scrolls... In fact, the 'escape' of the most advanced starship civilizations is not just 'escape.' We travel around to not only find 'oases,' but also to collect the Dead Sea Scrolls so that order can return to fragmentation."

The small iron box on Bai Xiu's body suddenly emitted a crisp trembling sound.

Fortunately, someone was already used to this kind of operation... Yang Jun kept the airship consuming the lowest amount of source energy. He had to ensure that the radar coordinates Chu Ling gave him could be updated in real time.

"So... the remains of those transcendent beings in the starship civilization?"

"A long, long time ago, the Dead Sea Scrolls were actually fragmented. They contained incomparably fragmented order and power. But later, the Dead Sea Scrolls shattered, and order also shattered. The 'white dots' and 'black holes' you see in the Seven Continents today actually come from the collapse of order."

The Dead Sea Scrolls... This thin scroll actually symbolizes the most extreme transcendent rules?!

Turing lowered his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Actually, compared to 'iteration,' collecting the Dead Sea Scrolls is the biggest problem... With the help of the Forbidden Book Tower's prophecies, how many pages has the entire Dark City collected in so many years?"

This is indeed a power that only "God" can control. After merging with the code, it actually cultivated a "living" will.

The array box was guided by a vast amount of spiritual power, instantly releasing a circle of ripples that enveloped the three of them.

The silver airship crashed into the sea, splashing thousands of piles of frost and snow. Ice shards flew everywhere, and snow waves surged.

Then he realized that his question was actually foolish.

Instead, it was a blurred shadow.

He said with a trembling voice, "This is... the Holy Book?" Chu Ling continued to write questions by hand.

This was what Old Lu deserved.

"The relationship between the Gospel Box and the Dead Sea Scrolls..."

"How do you plan to promote 'Lion's Awakening' when [Deep Sea] is connected?"

"Shallow Water Area, Deep Water Area, and... Dead Sea Area."

Therefore, starship civilizations want to complete the Dead Sea Scrolls. Once they can reorganize the "order" and put it into that small box, everything that's broken can be avoided.

He seemed to have personally experienced the starship civilization in particular. Turing's cheeks were made up of countless garbled codes.

Back then, when the Ancient Text Society was creating [Deep Sea], the project was hindered and could not be pushed forward.

The airship fell into the sea, then sank, and sank again. Instead, it was like millions of lives condensed and pieced together. "We are all lucky ones."

To be precise, the Dead Sea Scrolls created Bai Xiu and the main system.

"This place is the independent sea area that I deliberately opened up after creating [Deep Sea]."

"This is... the East China Sea?" Chu Ling's consciousness immersed into the array box.

He quickly reported his name at an extremely fast speed according to the method Yang Jun taught him, "I am Chu Ling's friend, and also Gu Xiaoman's teacher!"

Yang Junxiao and Turing had already established an "alliance" relationship. "So I am willing to take action. I want to wait, and wait a little longer."

"Yes... the Holy Book is part of the Dead Sea Scrolls."

Want to let a creation in the field of science, can promote the transcendence era forward.

Lion's Awakening technology was left behind by Lu Cheng... Turing had always felt guilty after the Lion Lane massacre that year.

Chu Ling said in a low voice, "Even if we create a seventh [Deep Sea], it will be difficult for us to win."

"What is this?"

Then there was [Deep Sea]. Second half.

His voice was very faint.

If the power of all things in the world exists on a scale, then on the other side of the "Fire Seed power" used by the human God Seats, does it mean the "Primordial Storm" brought about by disorder?

Turing slowly said, "You can understand it as a 'virus'. The spirit in this sea area will spread and proliferate... This is the biggest driving force for promoting the 'Lion's Awakening technology.' I will let the array box sea area connect to the [Deep Water Area]."

The coordinates are right here.

Yang Jun just remembered.

And carefully tracing it back, the time when the Holy Book appeared was also exactly when Turing began to trust Meng Xizhou.

Chu Ling was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you considered things too pessimistically?"

She wore a snow-white dress and her waist-length hair fluttered without wind. Her whole person was as holy as snow.

"So the complete 'Lion's Awakening technology' has always been in your hands?"

Chu Ling was silent for a moment and asked, "Can this array box sea area resist the eleventh upgrade of [Deep Sea]?"

Turing smiled and said, "Although your spiritual power is already very strong now, it is not enough to look directly at my soul. Of course, even if you have enough spiritual power, don't look directly at my soul. It's not something good to look at. I don't have a good-looking skin, and I don't have a good-looking soul."

This shadow... was quite similar to the "Deep Sea" Chu Ling had seen before. Yang Jun saw more than one face on Mr. Turing's spiritual body.

Turing gently explained, "Facing a super AI like [Deep Sea], any creator will keep a trick up their sleeve..."

He heard this name for the first time.

Since the power of order in the Dead Sea Scrolls can create the first [Deep Sea], then as long as enough remnants of the Dead Sea Scrolls are collected and invested in this array box sea area, a seventh [Deep Sea] can be created!

Turing sighed in a deep voice, "This home has just experienced eight hundred years of peace. Once a transcendent war breaks out, I can hardly imagine what it will be like..."

"Huh?"

"Actually, the Dark City's 'Holy Book'... was all seized under my guidance."

A beam of red light swept from the dark giant ship. Chu Ling in the spiritual world.

"Advanced 'Lion's Awakening technology...'"

A giant ship so long that Gu Shen couldn't see the boundary at a glance.

"?"

Trying to allow something created within the field of science to advance the transcendent era.

"I realized that I had made a big mistake, but it may not be irreversible, so I started a long-term plan..."

The Dead Sea Scrolls were incomplete, and the Gospel Box also shattered.

Is it safe to say that Turing knew all about it? Turing's face was made up of countless garbled codes.

Back then, when the Ancient Text Society was creating [Deep Sea], the project was hindered and could not be pushed forward.

The airship fell into the sea, then sank, and then sank again. And it looked as if millions of lives were gathered and pieced together. "We are all lucky ones."
