A familiar face, a slightly familiar voice, and a completely unfamiliar physique were the first impression I had of Timiret again. △
"The letter was given directly to you? It didn't leak that I was here, right?"
"Of course, I came right after I got the letter. Are there really ruins of Ham...the sage civilization?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I come to you? The maid with me should be a pure artificial soul, haven't you noticed?"
"Really or not, my current research direction is not this. I heard that the research on pure artificial souls has not been going well, but now it has achieved results?"
"Not going well?"
It would be strange if little Timmy could reach this point without any secrets, and he couldn't hide the strangeness in his soul. But there is no need to dwell on some things to the end, especially after reaching a contract with the God of Wisdom, our cooperation has reached
A new level.
And when certain things were spread out on the table, Little Timiret's identity didn't matter much. But after understanding his identity, I was surprised that he didn't know about the research on artificial souls.
As far as I know, in the Spiral Tower of Babel, the largest relic of the sage civilization, there is a tombstone inscribed with the three major "crimes" of this race. Of course, the results are correct - "The whole race is immortal, artificial
Soul, life creation.”
But now little Timiret actually told me that their research on artificial souls was not going well, which undoubtedly aroused my curiosity.
"Well, it has been very unsatisfactory. In fact, we still cannot get around the issue of the essence of the soul. No one except the Creator can create the essence of the soul out of thin air. Pure calculation and accumulation cannot reach the level of the soul. You want to create an artificial soul. You need to activate it.
He made it an active soul with various emotions and evolutionary possibilities, and could only integrate more natural souls. This has obviously gone astray."
"...Isn't that the same as the Necromancer?"
Using the soul as a material to construct new soul creations, and playing with the structure of the soul and body, wasn't it the exclusive domain of necromancers in the past?
"Yes, the innovative technology that has been worked so hard is actually leftover by others. It is simply a mockery of the technicians of the sage civilization, but as far as I know, at least before the end of the civilization, there should be no such technology
What a huge leap forward."
I nodded. I can barely be considered an expert in the study of souls. I can also make some guesses about the technology used by the sage civilization to construct artificial souls. It can be seen from Timmy’s words that their artificial souls are made of
Pure computing power forms logical ability, but just like a computer from another world, no matter how many calculations are accumulated, if it cannot form a qualitative change, it still cannot be called a complete "person".
"Let's put it this way. It's somewhat similar to Taling. He can make logical inferences, but he has no ego or emotions."
"What are the similarities? They are all a set of techniques. Do you think those mages can't rob tombs?"
"puff."
I laughed out loud all of a sudden. Those images of wise men wearing gold monocles and robes were suddenly replaced by the honest and strong men carrying shovels on their backs and holding Luoyang shovels.
In fact, many ancient technologies and magic came out in this way. It is true to say that mages are good at bad luck. A lucky thief, mountain man, or farmer accidentally found the ruins, and after the news spread, those mages ran faster than
What's so fast? By the way, this time we are not far from the land of mages, so there may be some mages organizations involved.
"If that's the case, it shouldn't be a taboo, right?"
In my impression, the civilization of the sages was destroyed by divine punishment, and due to the existence of the regular cleansing system of holy war, the gods are still very uncomfortable with mortals, and ordinary attempts to commit suicide will not directly result in divine punishment.
"This technology alone is fine, but they have developed artificial intelligence and soul preservation technology. You know the Tower of Babel, well, it's the Tower of Babel in the Cape. It's actually the Soul Preservation Center, and there are countless of them.
The brains and souls of wise men are kept in their little compartments, and they can still do research in them, but they are just waiting for the regeneration sequence."
Regeneration sequence? I seemed to hear an interesting word. With Timiret’s explanation, I finally understood what those great engineers had done back then.
Different from the mainstream archaeological discussion of this civilization by mages, since they are called sages, those great engineers are not fools without vision, and they cannot do such stupid things as immortality for all people. After all, people with a little vision will know the carrying capacity of the world.
is limited.
But they still go too far. They evaluate the value of "people". Those who reach a certain threshold can obtain direct immortality. Others wait in line for rebirth in the Tower of Babel, and determine the interval between resurrection and life span based on their value.
, increasing the population and reducing the population according to social needs. If this continues, the speed of expansion will indeed be consistent with the population, but there is one thing they have not thought clearly about.
"Then, isn't it equivalent to all souls being imprisoned in the Tower of Babel? There are only newborns coming out of reincarnation, but there are no dead people returning to reincarnation. The total number of souls possessed by the sage civilization will continue to increase, so it will definitely
As a result, the balance will be destroyed. It is impossible for the Chaos side to allow a unified civilized country to emerge. The reduction of the dead will directly lead to the reduction of the resources of the Styx, which will directly threaten the cycle of the lower planes and the gods on the Order side..."
"How can those who pursue the truth worship gods? How can a restricted worldview explore the truth of the world? Therefore, mages and engineers only show respect for gods. In the same way, sages do not believe in gods. Some people have even begun to study gods. Capture
There are some who seize gods, some who think they have fallen because of lack of faith, and there are several who have seized the throne of gods. There are not a few gods who fell because of this."
Needless to say the rest of the words, people will die if they seek death, and if they seek death to such an extent, they offend both camps at the same time, and in the process directly understand the foundation of the jihad, which also determines their doomed fate.
"It seems that all the seven Babel Towers were destroyed back then. All the souls who thought they had obtained immortality were reincarnated at the same moment. All records were gone. Even if they could survive God's punishment, the deadly plague against the race
Taking away everyone’s lives, the civilization of the sages also came to an end.”
There was some sadness in Timiret's words, but there was not much sadness from personal experience. For him, he just inherited the knowledge and memory of the sage, not his own experience. He was more just sighing at those mysteries.
and the loss of knowledge.
There is no need to mention the past, but if it relates to the future, it is necessary to ask more. Since Katarina came from that ruin, there must be something wrong there.
"In other words, the artificial soul back then was just a technology similar to the tower spirit. It required a lot of natural souls to be invested in order for the artificial soul to gain its own identity?"
"Yes, but it's hard to tell clearly. After so many years, maybe the technology has become more perfect. By the way, we also had a pagoda spirit back then. The name of the pagoda spirit of the Mage Tower has been adopted by our Tongtian Tower pagoda spirit.
He is the highest masterpiece of artificial soul, with extremely amazing computing power, and can independently manage countless biological compartments in the tower."
"Does he have an ego?"
"No, that is strictly prohibited. First of all, to create an artificial soul with self and emotions, you have to annihilate other natural souls. The more powerful the artificial soul, the more natural souls it needs, which means that on a large scale
was murdered, and once the seven Star Sages...that is, the titles of the seven Super Tower Spirits of the Babel Tower gain their selves, we really don’t know who rules who."
Hearing this, I burst into laughter. I was worried that I would be killed by the artificial intelligence I created. As expected, humans on earth are not the only family. Human nature is really universal.
"Ha, this plot is really familiar. The next scene won't be Skynet fighting the Terminator."
[Beep! The Crow's Mouth title is activated.]
I'm a little tired of the system always making such boring jokes. Now that I think about it, those crow's mouths were all tricked by the system.
[No kidding, the sage civilization back then had more than seven Towers of Babel. The eighth... which is the largest Tower of Babel is not far from you. 】
"What?"
【Where do you think Catalina came from?】
"I x, couldn't you have said such a big thing earlier?"
[You didn’t ask, well, it should be said that you didn’t meet the conditions to trigger the task... How many messy things do you think there are in my memory bank. 】

In the deepest part of the mountains and valleys, the ruins numbered Z-8 has begun to operate.
"Civilization Reconstruction Plan" was his name. In order to keep it secret, no one who had anything to do with the plan knew anything about the Tower of Babel.
There is no shortage of wise men in the civilization of sages. People of insight have already seen the fate of destruction, so how could they not make preparations? This Babel Tower will only be automatically activated two thousand years after the other seven tower spirits have fallen.
Due to some reasons, Babel z8's first awakening did not go smoothly, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep again. However, more than ten years ago, a reckless adventurer entered the ruins and took away an important component.
, allowing the entire Tower of Babel to start operating again.
This Tower of Babel even extends underground. It should have been filled with souls and brain tanks of great engineers, elite workers, and soldiers, but more than half of the compartments are already empty.
And in the deepest part of the ground, at the underground spire of the Tower of Babel, in front of Z8's Soul Throne, several black-robed mages were groaning in pain. Their skulls had been opened, and their exposed brains were exposed to all the information under the stimulation of electric current.

But the owner here has ignored them, and its eyes have been cast on the void, where there is a distinguished guest, waiting for its invitation.
"Your Majesty Heng, perhaps we already have a common goal."
After a long time, there was a response from the other end of the void.
"At least, we already have a common enemy, the false and hypocritical gods!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
