"You mean it was Pu Yunchuan who prevented the world golem from descending back then?" At this moment, Wang Ye followed Chen Qing and Nie Xingjun, heading quickly towards the northern area of New World's entrance.
On the way, Wang Ye listened to Chen Qing's account of what happened back then, and his emotions were filled with ups and downs.
According to Chen Qing, Pu Yunchuan, as the first data life form, joined forces with a military leader from the Eastern Federation to destroy this group of nobles along with their so-called new simulated environment—that is, their own world!
However, when Pu Yunchuan's backup memories arrived in that world, they changed. Backup data is cold, but human emotions are real. The biggest difference between data life and ordinary data is that it has its own emotions. Once it is tainted by these emotions, many things become unpredictable.
In Pu Yunchuan's view, that was a living, breathing world. The longer the backup data was stored, the less he wanted to follow the initial procedure to destroy that world. At crucial moments, he even made the opposite decision.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye seemed to have realized something.
Despite not being from Data City, he possesses extraordinary insight and courage, and that is his purpose.
" The King of Qin is..."
" The King of Qin is not," Chen Qing shook his head. "He is Ancient Demon who unintentionally devoured one of its copied data entities, which is why he is who he is now!"
Wang Ye: "."
Is that how it is?
For a moment, Wang Ye was somewhat confused, and subconsciously asked, "But Pu Yunchuan's memory, after so many years, could still be devoured by a weak Ancient Demon?"
"It's backup data, it doesn't mean he is Pu Yunchuan." Chen Qing explained, "In that world, the backup data only backed up a portion of the memories and programs, representing only a part of Pu Yunchuan's emotions. Moreover, this backup directly simulates a life form, whether it's a human or a demon. These beings will Samsara over time and due to accidents. Each time Samsara, some data will be lost, and some memories will be lost as well."
Samsara countless times, he has long since lost many memories. He may well be no different from an ordinary person in many ways. Over these years, that group must have relentlessly hunted down Pu Yunchuan's memory.
"So now?"
"Things are different now," Chen Qing said, a cold glint in his eyes. "Back then, they were afraid of the new version because they thought Samsara could last forever. Of course, they didn't want to take the risk of provoking even more terrifying monsters, especially a version that didn't restart or resurrect. They were ruthless to others like ants, but they didn't have the courage to do the same to themselves."
But now, they have no choice but to fight!
"Why?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
"Because if we don't fight now, we'll miss our chance." Chen Qing sneered.
The initial plan was to permanently control this world. After all, it was an incomplete version. So, after most of them were trapped in that world, they not only turned all of humanity into data life forms, but also used the world war to destroy most of the entertainment and gaming projects, including the original version of the Demon World.
The current incomplete version was simply a result of Pu Yunchuan secretly adding some subsequent version content. In their view, as long as they controlled it properly and were not captured by Pu Yunchuan's copied data, the fourth version would not be triggered, and they could live forever.
In the long course of time, we will slowly search for a solution.
So over the long years, they secretly and slowly took control of Data City and secretly cultivated Four Great Guilds. If nothing unexpected had happened, they probably wouldn't have shown themselves for several more eras. These guys were too afraid of death and were extremely cunning.
But the problem is that one day an Ancient Demon changed the world.
Yes, it's the King of Qin!
He inadvertently devoured a missed backup of Pu Yunchuan's data, gaining access to a vast amount of memories. Using this, he located the Federation's so-called Agent Number One, devoured him, and completely mastered all the information. His actions nearly brought the entire version to a standstill.
However, due to greed, he has already activated part of the fourth version's content by using Pu Yunchuan's memories.
The golems in the void have taken notice of the human world, and their arrival can no longer be prevented.
They now only have two paths: First, shut down that world, retreat to the Data City, and then use programmers to create a New World, in a relatively less dangerous one, to continue their right to immortality.
But they had actually tried this method for many years, without ever succeeding.
Since Data City discovered that game worlds could enhance data life, the craze for game development has never stopped. However, to this day, no new game has been able to become a game world. The reason is simple: all the programmers know it's fake when they create it. Their ingrained habits cause them to reject the newly created game world, effectively eliminating this path.
The only way is to preserve the Demon World.
Since they couldn't avoid it, they had no choice but to fight desperately, concentrate all their energy, and restart all versions of that world. Otherwise, a flawed version would be a world destined for destruction, which was not what they wanted. What they needed was to restart Pu Yunchuan's memories and fill in the missing parts of the game.
That's why the various designers later used genetic Samsara to create New World.
Only by fully awakening the memories of these designers can the original complete version of the Demon World be recreated.
That's their real goal.
Nie Xingjun listened in stunned silence. Even a high-ranking official as knowledgeable as him felt his mind was a bit overwhelmed after hearing about the conspiracy.
The entire Data City, including the New World, has always been controlled by a group of people, and everything that is happening now is still under their control.
The thought that his ancestors had been controlled by others since birth sent chills down his spine.
Wang Ye thought about it for a moment and immediately understood all the points, nodding, "I see."
So this is how all the secrets and mysteries were kept?
Will a world created by conspiracy ultimately end in conspiracy as well?
Wang Ye's eyes flashed with incredibly complex emotions, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
"What do you plan to do?" Wang Ye looked at Chen Qing. "Judging from their goals, if they fail to control you and seize your power immediately, they might just switch sides and cooperate with you. And given your current attributes, there's a lot of room for cooperation with those guys."
"Furthermore, their goal is also to preserve both worlds. From the perspective of ultimate objective, you are aligned. There's really no need for you to fight to the death. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the sky, then at Wang Ye, and finally shook her head. "I don't think so."
The cold voice sent a chill down Wang Ye's spine as he followed behind.
He suddenly realized that Chen Qing's original goal was to destroy that world and completely seal away those nobles.
He didn't say he changed his original intention.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Ye looked at Chen Qing with some complicated feelings.
He suddenly realized that perhaps Chen Qing was the enemy?
