A New Candidate for the Evolution Sage

The fall of a wise man is no small matter in the divine land.

In particular, the wise David Hilbert was a member of the Lord's household.

Since David was killed, the Diwang Group has received at least a dozen groups of guests in just one day.

Within the EarthNet Group, even the rarely held meetings of the Wise Men had to be convened ahead of schedule, with the true forms of these Wise Men appearing at headquarters.

Wisdom of the Barrier, Wisdom of Death, Wisdom of Rules, Wisdom of the Sky, Wisdom of the Network...

One by one, wise men, some wearing hoods and others with faces covered in chip inserts, entered the headquarters.

These digital life leaders are no different from cyborgs, androids, or AI carriers.

"Hey, aren't these the guys whose clones got destroyed? What's wrong? Are you guys still thinking straight? Should we get a digital Turing test first? You might have been hacked without even realizing it." Lan

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Guardian Sage, the Death Sage, the Sky Sage, and others darkened. Before David's fall, their clones descended and realized that this was a trap aimed at him when the virus hacked in.

Then, they were utterly destroyed by Gaokesi.

This indescribable viral monster even possesses the ability to destroy source code. Let alone its clones, even its main body would be in serious trouble.

"Omega, you should know that even if you had been there, there was nothing you could have done," the Death Sage said ominously.

"That's not necessarily true. Unlike you congenitally disabled people, I am the most advanced digital life form."

Omega, one of the Thirteen Sophists, the Sophist of Life, possesses a personality completely opposite to that of traditional scientists: arrogant, conceited, sharp-tongued, and disdainful of others.

Furthermore, among the thirteen sages, he is the only 'pure digital life form'.

Other intelligent beings are digital life forms created by uploading human data to hardware and digitizing it.

Omega, however, was the first digital life scientist, and his research level was in no way inferior to these "super brains".

However, perhaps due to an excessive focus on improving intelligence, this person's personality template was not properly adjusted, resulting in a personality that was quite obnoxious.

But the facts are the facts. Even with these wise men working together, they couldn't save Evolution. Instead, for the first time in ten years, the group experienced the "murder of a wise man."

This matter was so serious that it even alarmed the First Wise Man, the Wise Man Luca.

When they arrived at the top floor of the building, as soon as they pushed open the door, a chilling aura hit them.

Only the wise know that "Sage Luca" has been frozen for three years, and the reason for this is that his body can no longer handle the high-speed processing demands of his brain, thus necessitating freezing.

In everyone's eyes, the wise man Luca looked like an old man, with wrinkles on his face that could hold soybeans, age spots that were visible to the naked eye, and even a strong stench of death.

Digital life forms are not infinitely long-lived, but even digital life forms that have reached the end of their 'life mode' will not approach old age and death like him.

Seeing their companion's appearance, the wise men were all taken aback. Omega blurted out, "Old man, are you going to die?"

The wise man Luca shakily raised his head and slowly opened his eyes. The light of wisdom in his eyes made Omega pause in surprise.

Only higher levels of wisdom can subdue wisdom.

Soon, the remaining eleven sages all took their seats. Luca looked at the rule sage, the apparent head of the Earth Network Group.

"Rules, I've only just woken up, let me explain the situation first." Lan

The Rule Sage nodded and began by recounting how the "Hacker Prototype" participated in the interview, continuing until the other party used a feint, attracting the Evolution Venerable through their main body while secretly sending a large number of viruses to infiltrate the branch and forcibly recall the Digital Guardians, ultimately becoming the last straw that broke David's back.

"Evolution is so stupid! To let the enemy participate in such a core plan! This guy wasn't killed, he was killed by his own stupidity!" Omega shouted.

Another female strategist couldn't stand it anymore. "As a hacker who is on the wanted list in the mother city, the damage he causes by lurking here will only be greater. I believe that David is doing this in order to keep the enemy under his nose."

"You're still speaking up for him at a time like this? Are you two having an affair?" Omega said sarcastically.

"You!!!"

"Report the losses," Luca's aged voice rang out again.

Everyone was taken aback. The Ruler said, "After inspection, we found that what was stolen was the exploration portion of cutting-edge knowledge. This is somewhat strange; most hackers are only interested in our technology, but very few are interested in basic knowledge."

"Theory comes first, followed by technology," the hardware expert calmly stated.

"But theory alone has no value."

"Therefore," the wise man of rules raised his voice, "I believe that the enemy may be employed by a top-tier corporation, whose purpose is not only our entire group, but even the Divine Land."

"Impossible. We are not participants in the corporate wars and have no conflict of interest. In fact, we are the technology service providers in the corporate wars and are the objects of other companies' currying favor."

"That might be another company from the Divine Land."

"Our corporate spies found no indication of this."

"Or is it that some large hacker group is trying to extort money from us?" Lan asked.

Luca the wise man carefully looked at the data. Somewhat unexpectedly, the group's losses were not significant. The hardware that had been hacked at the branch had been re-virus-tested, and some top-of-the-line products and specialized technologies had not been stolen.

As for theoretical knowledge, the hardware experts are right. Theory alone is of no use. The process from theory to technology to product is a long one. Even with wisdom, one can only shorten the process, not bypass it.

Therefore, the wise Luca was not worried that the other party, having obtained this knowledge, would immediately produce a technology capable of countering the divine earth.

Firstly, no one can compare to these wise men in terms of wisdom. Secondly, the operation of the "Divine Land" is so perfect that there is no way to find its flaws simply by obtaining its operational theory.

The wise man Luca suddenly thought of a very interesting possibility and couldn't help but reveal a strange smile. He tapped the table to quiet everyone before slowly speaking:

"David Hilbert is dead. What are your opinions on the next evolutionary sage?"

Everyone was taken aback. They were chatting so well, even talking about revenge, when suddenly the topic changed. Lan

The wise man of rules hesitated for a moment, then said, "There are a few candidates, but none of them are ready."

"Then I'll recommend one," said the wise Luca, crossing her arms with interest, "How about we have that super hacker prototype become our evolutionary wise one?"

In the Matrix universe, there is a theory.

When a mutated virus becomes dangerous enough, antivirus software will cooperate with hackers, with the primary goal of eliminating the virus and maintaining system security.

From the perspective of the home city, hackers are not dangerous. After all, no matter how much trouble hackers cause, they still need a network, accounts, and systems. Therefore, the level of danger posed by hackers is limited.

But viruses are different. A virus's sole purpose is to destroy systems; the more powerful the virus, the more destructive it is.

Therefore, sometimes system administrators need to cooperate with hackers to deal with troublesome viruses.

Conversely, if the system administrators create viruses "targeting themselves" for certain needs, the resulting danger could even threaten the mother city.

"So, you want to create a virus that could threaten the mother city?" The senior engineer stroked his chin, asking curiously, "Who gave you such confidence, Collapse Entity?"

At this moment, in a rural villa resembling a farmhouse, Elisa, this middle-aged woman, showed none of the aura of a big data monster. She was holding a winnowing basket filled with chicken feed that looked like bird droppings, and a bunch of fat chickens were gathered around her, eagerly waiting to be fed.

"It's not a threat to the mother city, but a threat to the fortress," Elisa said, scattering chicken feed as she chirped.

"The Deep Web, Fortress, Cybertron—the entire cyberspace actually has three underlying systems. Therefore, the collapse of one system is not necessarily a bad thing for the other two."

"The current underlying system of cyberspace is the Deep Web Lady.'s system, but according to the agreement to change it every three years, it will become a fortress after the corporate war ends. This old man is not as easy to talk to as the Deep Web Lady., and his methods are very cunning. He wants to sign slave contracts with all of us." Lan

Are we referring to those big data monsters that can participate in the fortress meetings?

The senior engineer squatted on a small stool, listening with great interest as Elisa talked about some inside stories of cyberspace, things he couldn't have heard of in his previous life.

"According to you, shouldn't the Big Data Conceptual Entity unite against him? But you said there are quite a few monsters attending the fortress meeting?"

"Hmph, those cowardly cowards, the old man just offered them a slave contract and they were lured in."

"What contract?"

"The contract for immortality."

Following Elisa's words, the senior engineer gradually understood why the Big Data Conceptual Entity divided into two schools of thought.

Just as the internet will always need an underlying system, this system doesn't necessarily have to be the deep web; it can also be a fortress or Cybertron.

Cyberspace also needs Big Data Conceptual Entity, electronic brain halls, deep web bridges, data sanctuaries, artificial intelligence ghosts, and search engines.

However, the search engine you need doesn't necessarily have to be the 'Elisa' version.

Elisa's passing does not mean the disappearance of search engines.

In fact, this kind of version update is very common in the Big Data Conceptual Entity.

Therefore, the old man of the fortress made an unexpected suggestion: to bypass the golden rule and allow this version of the Big Data Conceptual Entity to "live and die with the nation," existing eternally.
