The Conversion Begins
Does the soul truly exist?
And what exactly is the soul?
These two topics have long troubled those dedicated to science!
Someone once proposed a hypothesis.
It is believed that after death, the soul continues to exist in a quantum form.
However, this hypothesis was not confirmed before Yi Xuan traveled through time.
Some people have also conducted experiments to prove the existence of the soul.
The most famous of these is the so-called soul weighing experiment!
Simply put, it involves placing a person on the verge of death on a specially designed weighing device.
Observe the person's weight before and after death.
The experiment revealed that people do indeed experience a slight decrease in weight after death.
Therefore, the experimenters claimed that they had discovered the soul and proved through experiments that the soul has weight.
In short, the natural sciences have never stopped exploring the soul.
But the effect was minimal.
Humanity, however, has become more courageous with each setback, and has made one attempt after another to explore this unknown territory.
Even Yi Xuan was no exception.
Although from the perspective of cultivating immortality, the existence of the soul is beyond doubt.
But the stubborn Yi Xuan insisted on exploring the mysteries of the soul through scientific means.
Therefore, during his 50,000-year interstellar journey, Yi Xuan devoted a great deal of effort to this aspect.
Although a soul cannot be simulated in virtual space, don't forget that Yi Xuan has more than just virtual space.
He also possesses a powerful weapon: the Book of Technology!
After the Book of Technology explained the soul using scientific theories, Yi Xuan was unable to calm down for a long time.
According to the explanation given in the Book of Technology.
The soul traits discovered in past experiments are actually correct.
It can be said that the soul has weight.
One could also say that the soul is a manifestation of a certain quantum state.
It could even be said that the soul is a being from a higher dimension.
In any case, according to the explanation in the Book of Technology, all knowledge about the soul is correct.
However, they are all wrong at the same time!
Because the soul itself is a non-static substance.
Furthermore, it is quite different from all the non-steady substances commonly found in nature.
It is not only a non-steady state in known fields, but also a non-steady state of matter in all fields.
This applies even to quantum mechanics, dimensions, time, and space.
At the same time, the soul is filled with contradictions.
Logically speaking, anything involving dimensions, time, and space must be extraordinary.
Even immortals cannot control it.
But the soul is an exception.
Even when it involves dimensions, space, and time, it cannot be controlled autonomously.
They can only passively accept it.
This directly lowers the level of the soul to a level only slightly above that of ordinary people.
Even a novice cultivator can master it.
Of course, this refers to ordinary souls.
The souls of cultivators and immortals are not included in this list.
Because of their extraordinary strength in life, their soul power was naturally incredibly powerful.
Therefore, even the soul of a powerful being who has died is not something that ordinary people can easily manipulate.
The progress of biological quantum computers is very smooth.
After a year of refinement, its performance is fully capable of meeting the needs of hundreds of billions of digital lives.
Thus, led by the Good Corpse, the entire formation research team boarded the Dawn and once again descended into the asteroid belt.
A biological quantum computer, shaped like a giant motorcycle helmet, was deployed to the very center of the planetary belt.
Yi Xuan turned to Chen Jiaping and Elder Hai and said:
"How about we begin?"
Chen Jiaping and Elder Hai did not respond, but instead continued to work among a pile of equipment.
They needed to fully monitor the entire array before attempting to create digital life for the first time.
To prevent any mistakes from occurring in the process.
Therefore, the two of them had no time to pay attention to Yi Xuan at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the two of them suddenly stopped what they were doing.
They looked at each other and simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.
Chen Jiaping turned to Yi Xuan and nodded, saying, "Mister Yi! We're all set up here and can begin anytime!"
Having grown impatient, Yi Xuan directly issued a command to the biological quantum computer in the void.
"Adam! Let's begin!"
"I obey your commands, Great Heavenly Father!"
Following this shameful response, a faint light flashed across the surface of the massive helmet.
Then the entire space seemed to freeze.
Although matters of the soul cannot be observed with the naked eye alone.
But at this moment, Yi Xuan has established a connection with Adam on a conscious level.
He could clearly sense that countless souls were being absorbed and reorganized by Adam.
Adam's body was equipped with a specially designed soul decoder and encoder.
The absorbed souls are rewritten after passing through this encoder and decoder, and then become a brand new digital life, which Adam arranges for to enter the virtual space he built— the Garden of Eden.
That's right, Yi Xuan borrowed a term from the Bible.
This virtual space, where countless digital lives reside, is named Garden of Eden.
And that's where Adam's name comes from.
As the administrator of the Garden of Eden, Yi Xuan couldn't think of any other name besides Adam.
As for Adam's previous address of Yi Xuan as the Great Heavenly Father.
That was entirely a joke played by its own artificial intelligence.
After all, it is understandable that Yi Xuan, as the creator of Adam, would be called the Heavenly Father.
"How's the formation doing? No unusual reactions, right?"
"The transfer of souls is still ongoing," Yi Xuan turned to look at Chen Jiaping was intently watching the screen, and asked.
"No! Everything is still fine so far! There has been no fluctuation in soul power!"
Hearing this, Yi Xuan finally felt relieved.
His biggest concern was that the birth of digital life would affect the changes in the soul power within this great formation.
After all, this grand formation couldn't have appeared out of thin air.
The person who set it up must have had a purpose in placing such a powerful array for condensing souls here; otherwise, why would the condensed soul power be injected into the void?
Therefore, even though Chen Jiaping and Elder Hai both stated that the great formation existed completely independently.
However, Yi Xuan still believed that the person who set up the formation must have had a backup plan.
If there's a problem with the formation, it will definitely be noticed.
Yi Xuan had no confidence in confronting the entity that had set up this grand formation, which was why he was so cautious while executing the digital lifeforms.
Fortunately, everything turned out just as Yi Xuan had predicted.
As long as it doesn't affect your soul power, there won't be any danger.
Yi Xuan stayed here for three days before returning to his Mother Planet.
It wasn't that he lacked patience; it was simply that converting hundreds of billions of digital lives couldn't be accomplished in a day or two.
Instead of wasting time here, we should invest it in a new round of scientific research.
Since Chen Jiaping and the others wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the grand formation, they could monitor the transformation of the digital life forms while learning about it.
Kill two birds with one stone!
