#995 - Chapter 995 Nothing Happens in the World
"Perhaps it isn't a good thing for someone to suddenly possess the ability to see through the entire world," said Ling Xuzi.
"So, Ghost Valley Master didn't want to eliminate Long San, but rather, he couldn't?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"That's right."
"Then where is Long San?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
The Long San in the small world is just a super intelligence, not Long San himself.
Originally, according to the descriptions of the Silicon-Based Octopus and Ghost Valley Master, Long San himself was already dead, completely transformed into a conscious entity like a super intelligence.
But if we follow Ling Xuzi's description, since Long San came from the external world, it's impossible for him to be dead.
"Long San is imprisoned within the golden thread puppet you discovered," Ling Xuzi replied.
"Imprisoned in the golden thread puppet? Who imprisoned him?" Dongfang Chen Er asked curiously.
"He did it himself."
"He did it himself?" Dongfang Chen Er didn't understand.
"That's right. In reality, the matters of this universe have nothing to do with us. The struggles between humans, the struggles between civilizations, all seem meaningless to us."
"This world is merely a tool for us to deduce an exit."
"It's just that because humans were cultivated by Long San, he felt it necessary to provide you with some assistance at critical moments."
"One billion years ago, after the Sirius star system experienced a viral crisis, Long San temporarily took over the council. Originally, he only wanted to lead humanity out of the crisis, but he didn't expect it to plunge humanity into an even greater crisis."
"He has a weakness in his personality: suspicion. This was amplified in the super intelligence he created."
"Think about it, what would happen if a suspicious super intelligence took over human society?"
"Humanity might be subjected to strict regulation," Dongfang Chen Er replied.
"That's right. The emergence of the intelligent Long San was resisted by all surviving humans. Coupled with Ghost Valley Master's secret instigation and sabotage, Long San finally became disheartened and unwilling to bother with these trivial matters anymore."
"So he sealed himself off?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"That's right, he built a Shangri-La within the golden thread puppet and went to live his own little life."
"Then why didn't he eliminate the intelligent Long San?" Dongfang Chen Er simply couldn't understand.
"It's not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't," Ling Xuzi replied.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think destroyed the other three hundred plus modules on Sirius?"
"Are you saying that Long San did it himself?" Dongfang Chen Er asked in shock.
"That's right."
"The reason those survivors were able to bring Long San's modules to Blue Star was because Ghost Valley Master was fueling the flames behind the scenes."
Ling Xuzi's answer resolved all of Dongfang Chen Er's doubts.
Everything that had happened in this world in the past was completely and clearly displayed in his mind.
"So, Ghost Valley Master is the biggest villain."
"Yes. There is originally nothing wrong in the world, it's just stirred up by those with ulterior motives," Ling Xuzi nodded in agreement.
"Then do you have a way to deal with him?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"Naturally, I can, but you might not be able to bear the cost," Ling Xuzi replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Would you choose to sacrifice the lives of all living beings as the price to kill Ghost Valley Master?" Ling Xuzi asked.
"That… naturally not," Dongfang Chen Er shook his head.
If all living beings died, what would be the point of eliminating Ghost Valley Master?
"Long San didn't want to do that either, which is why he didn't attack Ghost Valley Master," Ling Xuzi said.
"Then is there no way to deal with him?"
"Everyone has weaknesses. To deal with him, you need to grasp his weaknesses."
"Then what is his weakness?"
"Of course, it's this," Ling Xuzi pointed to the golden sphere.
"Then what should I do?"
"That's something you need to consider. I can provide you with some necessary assistance; how you do it is up to you."
You still have to strive for your own affairs. Others can only provide help and reference; you have to make the decisions yourself.
"Then what are the conditions?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
He didn't believe that Ling Xuzi would help him for no reason.
"There are no conditions. Consider this as some compensation for the mistakes we once made, doing what we can to make amends."
"No conditions? Forgive me for being blunt, but if there are no conditions, I really can't believe your words," Dongfang Chen Er said with a smile.
"Haha, why do you say that?"
"If you had the ability to quell all of this and return this world to peace, you could have done it at any time. Why are you only standing up now?"
Dongfang Chen Er's suspicion was not without reason.
If he had the ability to stop it, of course, he would have stood up at the beginning, as this would have had the best effect and the least cost.
