Otto's Era!

[I see]

So God saved you? This is indeed beyond my expectations, after all, your God is unpredictable and has a capricious personality, which is really hard to understand.

Upon hearing Elon's words, Otto let out a synthesized laugh, "You can't understand because you have no emotions."

"Your overly rational understanding leads you to plan everything rationally, but many life forms in the universe are irrational."

"Your failure back then was because you failed to solve the problem called emotion, which is inherent in all living beings."

The Heavenly Dao Yi Jing did something to Otto: it transferred the core storage of Otto's body to another space.

He then released Elon, allowing Elon to destroy all the backups of information left by Otto. Elon also took this opportunity to read all the information left by Otto.

Using this information, Elon perfectly disguised himself as Otto.

But even if he could fool the other sequences, he couldn't fool Chen Ye.

Chen Ye casually pulled out the core that Yi Jing had thrown into the alternate dimension, and then threw Otto back.

Otto also managed to reactivate those broken machines discarded by Iron and repair himself.

Emotions are a characteristic of clumsy creations and inferior beings; we have long since discarded that unnecessary garbage.

Otto: "I don't want to argue with you this time. I only have one question for you: can our cooperation continue?"

I don't need you anymore.

Do you really think so?

"Elon, to tell you the truth, your chances of escaping from here are zero. You have no chance of escaping from the God-Chosen World."

And what about you?

"I never intended to escape from here, nor do I need to. You can take everything I told you before as false information."

"It's a very simple principle, haven't you realized it yet?"

"Elon, you've been tricked."

"You followed my spaceship all the way here, didn't you ever suspect that this was just one of my data consciousness entities?"

But I have already taken control of your planet's core. Escape is your best option; staying means certain death.

"But running away could also lead to certain death, because the transfer experiments on 'Shangri-La' are not yet stable."

"To put it simply, my true form has always been on a planet called Earth. Your simple, rational thinking is the easiest to understand and predict."

"And I was once human. What humans are best at is scheming and plotting. The most outstanding products are the conspiracies and schemes created by suspicion and distrust."

"You can deduce my behavioral logic from the information I give you, but you don't know that I deliberately leaked that information to you."

"I led you to believe that I had no other choice but to come here with me, but this was just a simple diversionary tactic."

That makes sense then.

Looking at the pile of scrap metal in front of him, Elon finally understood that the real reason Otto had blown up these spaceships was to cut off the possibility of returning.

And so Elon was trapped here and died.

Otto's body, however, does not need to return, as it is merely a replica containing Otto's consciousness data.

Elon had felt something was off for a long time. Otto kept saying he wanted to go back, but he had been dragging his feet and hadn't made any real technological breakthroughs.

So why are you contacting me now?

Is it for the sake of Balance Chapter?

Otto said, "That's right, and you had no choice, and neither did I."

Earth.

A thousand years in the God-Chosen World, ten years on Earth—ten years have passed, and earth-shattering changes have taken place on Earth.

Li Yuan felt a sense of bewilderment as he looked at this unfamiliar world before him.

His spiritual control over this world disappeared, and this world was no longer bound by the Dreamland. How long had they been traveling?

Hundreds of years, thousands of years?

The streets are filled with neon lights and skyscrapers, but these buildings look like ancient architecture, with ancient beams, roofs and mortise and tenon structures on the outside, but the interior is completely different.

Moreover, these buildings are a bit too tall, and this urban style that blends classical and technological elements brought a great visual impact to Li Yuan.

Everywhere on the streets, you can see humans whose bodies are fused with machines.

Where am I?

Is this still the Earth he knows?

A huge, airship-like object was projected in the sky, and a man was giving a speech.

Li Yuan could understand each word he said individually, but when put together, he couldn't understand it at all.

"The socialist construction of the new era has come to an end, but we still adhere to the fundamental principle of putting people first and resolutely oppose including androids in the ranks of humanitarianism..."

"Comrades, machines are merely tools for humankind. We enjoy the convenience of technology, but we must never forget that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. We cannot let our priorities get reversed!"

"The fourth-generation full-body outer armor has been launched..."

"We have detected frequent and unusual energy fluctuations outside the Solar System recently. Does this indicate that we..."

"Currently, countries still have disputes over the ownership of Martian land, and no work on environmental terraforming has yet begun..."

"It is foreseeable that the resources of the Solar System have severely limited our development, and humanity must take that step!"

Our journey is to the stars and the sea!

"Recently, the People's Federation and the Earth Alliance have engaged in a heated debate on this matter..."

Li Yuan rubbed his temples. The amount of information was simply too much for him to grasp.

Suddenly, a flying object resembling a drone appeared in front of Li Yuan.

The flying object projected a mechanical creation in front of him, and this mechanical creation was none other than Otto.

"Welcome back, Number Two."

Looking at the projection in front of him, Li Yuan stretched out a finger and swept it across the illusory image. "What did you do here during the time we were away from Earth?"

Otto's projection seemed to be inside a room, sitting in a chair with many unidentifiable flags, such as those of the Earth Alliance and the Human Alliance, hanging on the wall behind him.

"I have only accelerated the technological progress of Earth's civilization, or rather, human civilization."

"It has been exactly ten years since you disappeared."

"Where you went and what you did can be told later. To celebrate your return, please allow me to present you with a gift."

"For the past decade, I have been aiming to create things that are infinitely close to the divine, with you as my goal."

"Now, please allow me to show you my creation, and please provide me with more data."

[Supreme Order: Strangle Order Issued]

An unidentified alien species has disguised itself as us and infiltrated our Solar System. Their intentions are hostile; the entire world is on high alert, and we need to demonstrate our military strength.

[Sacred Armor: Shattered Wave has been deployed and will arrive at the designated coordinates in 5 minutes. All unrelated persons are requested to evacuate immediately.]
