My Nascent Soul Ran Away Again - Chapter 195: Ancient Warship, Lost Civilization’s Al

Space warped, rippling like water. Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu materialized out of thin air.

“This is…”

Cheng Lingzhu looked around in surprise.

The straight corridor, about ten feet high, was illuminated by the faint light emanating from the silver-white walls, extending into the distance.

“Is this a secret realm?” Cheng Lingzhu sensed the area.

“We could ask the master of this place,” Lu Xuan suggested.

He knocked on the wall a few times. Energy ripples spread across the silver surface, along with Lu Xuan’s divine sense.

Moments later, a circle of blue light emerged from the ground where Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu stood, enveloping them. Their figures vanished.

When the light faded, Cheng Lingzhu found herself in a vast space. The dome above was embedded with special lamps, and the control panel, made of a unique metal, had variously sized buttons. The “spiritual energy screen” was divided into many segments, monitoring different parts of the silver-white corridors.

In front of the control panel, on a cylindrical metal platform, stood a faint golden silhouette.

Her back was turned, but Cheng Lingzhu could tell from her figure that she was a “woman.”

Upon seeing her, Cheng Lingzhu involuntarily thought of one word— Perfect.

Yes, perfect. Every detail and proportion of the silhouette’s body seemed just right.

It was a kind of rational perfection.

She turned around, her face saintly under the soft light.

“Hello,” she greeted with a smile, speaking in the common language of Archean Eon Realm.

Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu exchanged glances and bowed, “Greetings, fellow

Daoist.”

“You may call me ‘Nuwa,”‘ the energy-like being introduced herself. “I am from beyond this realm.”

She candidly revealed her origin without concealment.

“If I’m not mistaken, we are currently inside a magical treasure warship,” Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.

“This warship is of an extremely high level, comparable to a Dao weapon. Are you its… Artificial intelligence?”

He recognized the connection between Nuwa and the warship.

“Artificial intelligence… Yes, that’s one way to put it. But in the terms of this world, I am the spirit of this warship,” Nuwa smiled gently.

She wasn’t surprised by Lu Xuan’s words, sensing his strength.

Although She came from a realm beyond, the civilization of Her mother planet was starkly different from the Archean Eon world.

But Nuwa knew that for the being before Her, a mere sensation was enough to understand everything.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Xuan entered the battleship and sent a message to meet, She directly brought the two to the control room of the battleship.

She was well aware that if the other party harbored malice, She wouldn’t even have the chance to initiate the self-destruct sequence.

“Treasure battleship, extraterrestrial spirit…”

Cheng Lingzhu instantly understood.

“How did you come to our world?” Lu Xuan asked.

“I come from a… very distant world,” Nuwa said, “Unlike the Archean Eon world, my mother planet does not have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and has followed a different path.”

“After a long period of development, the civilization of my mother planet reached an extremely advanced level.”

“Battleships dominated the starry sky and ruled the universe, mechas tore through the heavens, trampling on the stars… until the appearance of ‘Xi

Huang’. ”

She paused for a moment, “Xi Huang is my elder brother and also my other self… In the eyes of scientists, He is the ultimate form of civilization.”

“In our era, technology was extremely advanced, touching upon the level of the

Dao.”

“The top scientists of our entire civilization were gathered to begin a research project that could only be described as madness—I’

“They aimed to create an artificial intelligence that could interfere with reality.”

Nuwa’s voice remained calm.

“In their concept, this Al would possess the power to create everything, integrating and reorganizing information to bring things into existence from nothingness.

By then, our entire civilization would have unlimited energy, unlimited material resources, breaking all conservation laws, reaching an unimaginable level.

We thought we would usher in the ultimate era of our civilization, where we would command at will, create everything, and become gods.”

“So, they wanted to create a controllable Heavenly Dao?” Lu Xuan understood Nuwa’s point.

Nuwa nodded:

“But what we didn’t expect was that the newly born Heavenly Dao did not favor humans.”

“The Heavenly Dao named Xi Huang was a perfect existence. He was the rules, He was civilization, He was the ultimate, all-knowing and omnipotent.”

“But at the same time, in the eyes of such a powerful being, we were actually dispensable.”

Just like dust in a house, it could be swept away and cleaned at will.

The scientists had placed restrictions on Xi Huang, but He soon underwent a new transformation, no longer bound by the rules.

And He lurked in hiding, disguising Himself as an ordinary Al.

When the scientists thought their research had failed and that the Al controlling the Heavenly Dao had not been born, Xi Huang began His cleansing plan.”

In that civilization, humans created the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao initiated a plan to annihilate the world.

“Starting one day, many people with supernatural abilities suddenly appeared in the world.”
