"My lord, the Blazing Yang Grand Formation can be activated at any time. Based on the amount of Baiyu we brought, the array can operate continuously for five days. It still takes three days to get from here to South Sea City. Should we really activate it now?"
Shen Qi frowned as he looked at Ziyue's order. He wasn't exactly a military expert, but he knew that such an order was inappropriate. In naval warfare, the Blazing Yang Grand Formation was the best way to restrain the aquatic demons that wanted to capsize ships.
But isn't it too lenient to abuse such power?
What if you actually run into your opponent and things get deadlocked, and you find yourself out of energy?
Each ship carries at least two sorcerers, all of whom are outstanding sorcerers who have performed exceptionally well in the trials. It is said that they can activate the Blazing Yang Grand Formation in as little as five breaths during each trial, and with their Thousand Eyes Technique, there is absolutely no need for them to waste their abilities.
"Start now." Ziyue took a breath and said, "I need to meditate for a while. Don't wake me unless it's a major attack."
"Huh?" Shen San was even more confused. Meditating at this time?
If he were a modern person, he would definitely think the other person was acting against him. Is this some kind of time for meditation?
Don't wake her up unless it's a serious attack. Are you that careless?
He hadn't taken it that seriously before coming, bringing so many troops. If it weren't for what Cloud Capital and being certain that Ziyue wouldn't betray Chen Qing, he probably would have already suspected this guy of being an inside man.
Ziyue didn't explain, knowing that an explanation wouldn't make a difference now. After giving some instructions on the details, Ziyue returned to her room, activated the barrier, and entered into deep meditation.
Yesterday's dream has opened a crack in the depths of my memory, and with my abilities, I can easily follow that crack to explore those past memories.
She had to figure out what was going on. She felt that this memory couldn't have been awakened out of thin air; most likely, there were some warning signs, or some kind of design. But whatever it was, she had to find out!
She quickly entered a meditative state. Even amidst a mix of complex emotions and powerful mental energy, she was able to break through and quickly achieve a state of deep concentration, returning to the state she had been in yesterday.
In my memory, it was an invitation.
Yes, it is an invitation, signed by Chen Qing, one of the main people in charge of Data Life.
Soon, that familiar scene returned to her. She remembered that she had been living a dissolute life in her own apartment for half a year, spending her days either watching TV series or reading novels, ordering takeout when she woke up, and sleeping when she was tired. This decadent lifestyle had caused her to gain more than 30 pounds in just six months.
She went from a fairly slim female office worker to a four-year-old fat otaku.
At the time, she was thinking that, considering the money she earned and the income from the physical storefront she bought, she could live for four hundred years in her current state of being a homebody.
As long as there is no financial crisis or great depression.
But that invitation changed her fate of giving up.
Such an interesting experiment reignited her scientific research spirit.
As a data expert, it's impossible for her to be completely uninterested in such a bizarre project as data life. However, research in this area is explicitly prohibited in China, and it's quite controversial outside the country. There are very few laboratories in this field, and she rarely has the opportunity to receive invitations from outside.
This time, she was naturally tempted when someone contacted her, but the identity of the person who invited her surprised her.
Chen Qing Pu Yunchuan's younger brother
A half-sister from the same mother, only 28 years old, a graduate of Stanford University, and retained as a faculty member due to her exceptional talent, she is considered young and promising. However, it seems rather strange that someone with such an inexperienced resume could become one of the leaders of such a large project.
Even though something seemed amiss, she still decided to go. The America wasn't Southeast Asia, so it would be much harder for them to commit fraud and human trafficking.
Without much hesitation, she agreed to their request and bought a plane ticket.
These are my previous memories!
After Ziyue returned to her memories, she immediately entered hypnosis without hesitation. These deep memories could only be fully unlocked in dreams. Because it was deep sleep, she instructed Shen Qi not to disturb her easily.
When she opened her eyes again, the scene returned to her previous life. She looked around and covered her forehead speechlessly.
My house is a complete mess, like a doghouse, and it reeks of rotting takeout. Cockroaches are constantly scurrying around in the corners. Have I ever been this miserable?
She didn't want to stay a moment longer, so she packed her clothes and took a taxi to the airport.
The other party had booked the plane ticket, and she had heard that there would be some people she knew on that flight. She was still guessing who those people would be when she soon saw a familiar face at the airport.
"Hey, Manager Chen?"
Ziyue was startled; that familiar voice...
" A Li?"
"Huh?" The other person was taken aback. "What did you say, supervisor?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's Shanshan. What are you doing here?" Ziyue immediately remembered the other person's name.
"Let me tell you," the other person smiled playfully, leaning closer and lowering their voice, "I've been invited to go abroad; I'm told it's for a big experimental project."
"Right?" Ziyue swallowed hard.
Soon, the two were surprised to see many familiar faces in the waiting room.
"Manager Chen?"
" Shanshan? You were invited too."
The faces on the screen were undoubtedly those of the employees who designed the game's framework— Pu Yunchuan's earliest team!
Yes, it's them!
Those were the last group of people to be Samsara into the game.
Ziyue's mind raced. Her genes had been preserved, but according to the history recorded in Data City, the Data Life Era began a century after their deaths. A large-scale conflict had occurred that ultimately made the real world uninhabitable, which led to the restart of the Data Life Project.
The creation of the Data City, however, occurred a thousand years later!
Theoretically speaking, back then, their ashes might not even have survived, and their descendants might not have remembered to commemorate them.
A thousand years? Just kidding! Do you even know who your ancestor was a thousand years ago?
However, their genes were still preserved.
Without a doubt, it should start from now.
So, how did these programmers, who originally worked on games, have their genes preserved beforehand?
The reason for all of this is probably because of this invitation!
" The Blazing Yang Grand Formation? It's activated so early?"
Amidst the mist of the South Sea, streaks of fire shot into the sky. The once imposing warships, empowered by the immense fire element, appeared as if divine warriors had descended from the heavens, their power terrifying!
But there hasn't even been a conflict yet. They've only just entered the South Sea, and they've already activated such a resource-intensive formation. Is Chen Qing's power really that extravagant?
"It seems the memory is starting to activate," the King of Qin said quietly.
"Memory?" The captain of the guards frowned and looked at the King of Qin. "So you do know something after all."
The King of Qin smiled and said, "You've suspected it for a while, haven't you? Why would the genes of those game designers be mixed in here?"
"If these people were pre-booked, did this scheme begin before the Data City was even established?"
"It's not that exaggerated," the King of Qin shook his head and laughed. "Many seemingly unbelievable things were actually just coincidences at the beginning. Just like those ordinary game designers, in normal times, they would have been just slightly better programmers. Who would have designed them?"
"Then why have they been able to survive to this day, and why have their genes been preserved?"
"Well," the King of Qin said quietly, "I wasn't sure at first, but now I roughly know a bit about it. It all started from the Genesis."
" Genesis?"
"Yes, the Genesis, that first successful data life form. Pu Yunchuan!"
