The Limitations of the Celestial Computer

Jiang Zhen gazed at the figure in the sky, a flicker of light passing through his eyes, then murmured to himself:

"The Angel King Kaisha, Holy Keisha. I didn't expect her to come. Interesting, truly interesting!

It seems Hexi went back and said quite a bit. Otherwise, Kaisha wouldn't have come here alone."

With that, Jiang Zhen stroked his chin and muttered under his breath:

"Should I meet her or not? After all, the seed has already been planted.

If I don't meet her, it feels a bit off. If I do, who knows what she'll do!"

Just as Jiang Zhen was pondering whether to meet her, Kaisha's voice echoed around the peak where Lu Yu was.

"Angel Kaisha has come to visit Lord Jiang Zhen!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face.

"Angel Kaisha, coming in her own identity? Interesting, truly interesting!"

Then, Jiang Zhen glanced at Kaisha hovering in the air without a word. With a wave of his hand, a spatial ripple appeared.

In an instant, Kaisha felt a flash of light before her eyes, and then she found herself in a courtyard full of blooming flowers.

Beneath a grapevine, Jiang Zhen sat at a round stone table, on which two cups of tea were placed.

"Angel Kaisha, heh, how amusing. Please, have a seat!"

Hearing this, Kaisha sat directly across from Jiang Zhen, picked up the teacup, and took a gentle sip.

"Good tea!"

Jiang Zhen also took a sip, set down his cup, and refilled Kaisha's tea before saying:

"Do you understand tea?"

Kaisha shook her head and replied, "Hexi likes it. I've tasted a bit with her, but I wouldn't say I understand it.

Still, I've drunk quite a lot, so I know a little about it!"

Jiang Zhen smiled and nodded, then looked at her and said:

"Angel Kaisha, how interesting. I didn't expect it to be Angel Kaisha who came, not Holy Keisha or the Angel King."

Kaisha smiled in return and said, "Holy Keisha isn't suited to appear right now; it would cause unnecessary trouble.

And the Angel King would have to bring other Little Angels along, which wouldn't be fitting for meeting you, would it?"

Jiang Zhen chuckled and said, "Haha! You're quite interesting! Angel Kaisha, tell me, what brings you here?

Since you've come in a private capacity, you must want to ask about something that's hard to say outright, right?"

Kaisha nodded firmly and said, "You're right. That's exactly it. There are some things that are indeed hard to say—at least, hard to say openly.

Since you've already met with Hexi, you must understand the Justice Order I promote."

Jiang Zhen nodded. "The Justice Order—I've heard of it. Very interesting, very good. At least, it's good for lower civilizations.

But everything has its flaws. Your Justice Order, while kind to the weak, is a huge obstacle for powerful civilizations.

At the very least, they want to advance, and you've become a stumbling block for them.

If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before you're targeted.

No, you might already be under attack right now."

Hearing this, Kaisha fell silent. After a long pause, she slowly spoke, "Yes. The Justice Order is exactly like that. It saves the sheep but starves the wolves. So, as long as the Angels show even a hint of weakness, the wolves will swarm us, even tear us apart."

Jiang Zhen raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, "Since you understand this flaw, why not just overthrow your own order?"

Kaisha immediately shook her head and said, "Heh! I am the founder of the Justice Order, the faith of all female Angels. If I overthrow the Justice Order, then the Angels will surely fall into chaos. My Little Angels now are far too naive.

They only know how to fight for justice. As for anything else, heh..."

At this point, Kaisha couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, as if mocking herself.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen shook his head and said, "Heh, Kaisha, why do you think that overthrowing your own Justice Order would throw the Angels into chaos?"

Kaisha: "You don't understand. Right now, the faith of all Angels rests entirely on me."

"If I were to overthrow the Justice Order, that would mean I was wrong, and everything I did before was also wrong. This matter involves far too many things. There is absolutely no way I could do that!"

Jiang Zhen: "Heh! No. I think you still haven't seen your own position clearly. Kaisha, let me ask you! Was your angelic Justice Order established in a single day, or a few days, or even a single year?"

Kaisha: "How could that be possible! Our angelic Justice Order was built up over tens of thousands of years of accumulation before it became what it is now."

Jiang Zhen: "Exactly. Your Justice Order—can I assume that it became what it is now through constant revision?"

Kaisha nodded: "Correct!"

Jiang Zhen: "In that case, adding a little something to it shouldn't be a problem, should it?"

At these words, Kaisha froze!

"What do you mean by that? Adding something!"

Jiang Zhen smiled and said: "Yes, adding something. Not much, just a tiny bit will do. Since your Little Angels trust your political framework, you don't need to overturn it all at once, do you? Just a little guidance, changing their ideas and concepts, subtly and gradually. If anyone asks, it's the Justice Order developing. Who ever said the Justice Order is immutable? Change it a little each time, without affecting the overall direction. But in certain places, it loosens up, and that path becomes a bit broader. And as time goes on, this situation will keep changing, eventually forming an entirely new Justice Order. Such a simple thing—have you never thought of it?"

At these words, Kaisha was stunned. After a long silence, she finally spoke slowly:

"Is this really possible? To change the Justice Order without overthrowing it?"

Jiang Zhen: "I recall you gods have that computer thing—right, the Celestial Computer. You could run a projection on it."

At these words, Kaisha immediately nodded, then began her calculations. Soon, the Sacred Knowledge Treasury finished computing the plan.

"Calculation complete. Feasibility: ninety percent. Success rate: ninety-five percent."

Seeing this, Kaisha stood there dumbfounded.

"How is this possible? The problem solved this simply?"

Jiang Zhen looked at the stunned Kaisha, smiled slightly, and said:

"What? Hard to believe?"

Kaisha took a deep breath and said: "Why? Why could you think of this method? And I used the Celestial Computer to deduce for a long, long time, yet the only conclusion I reached was that I had to step down to change the existing order!"

Jiang Zhen: "Why? I want to ask why too. Such a simple method, and you had to use a computer to calculate it?"

At these words, Kaisha froze, then blurted out:

"Isn't that common sense?"

Jiang Zhen: "Common sense? The common sense of using a calculator to deduce things you can't grasp the changes in? Kaisha, I don't know why you've become like this. To put it bluntly, you've shifted everything that should use your brain onto the computer. Do you really think a computer's calculations can rival the human mind? You need to understand one thing: maybe in some matters, computers compute very fast. But a computer can never replace the human brain, unless the computer gains its own consciousness and can think. Only then can a computer break through its original limitations."

Kaisha: "But that's the Celestial Computer. What it calculates is very accurate. Moreover, our many wars have proven the Celestial Computer's correctness!"

Jiang Zhen shook his head helplessly at this and said: "What you're saying, I can't refute. But there's one question you haven't considered: human thought is infinite, while machines are finite. Because no matter how you calculate it, the Celestial Computer is still just a cold, lifeless machine. The reason it has such terrifying computational power is that you gave it that power. Moreover, the foundation of its calculations is the many things and knowledge you input into it. But that knowledge is all knowledge you already knew. In other words, this Celestial Computer is still confined within the scope of what you already know!"
