Light Fortress Chapter 2009 - 57: Time Dojo (Part 2)

"Is this... my birth?"

"Yes. But there was also a failure, the ’Blood Fire’ Xiao."

Allen Turing said, "This project could only be advanced by me at first, so I analyzed the different transcendent factors existing in this world and listed the Transcendent Genealogy Map. In order to create the most powerful individual, I made an erroneous attempt to inject a part of my ’extraordinary gene’ into the experiment subject... Xiao inherited a part of my ’extraordinary gene’, having an extremely powerful mental splitting ability."

Turing was not one person.

Nor was Xiao.

The power of Blood Fire is devouring and seizing.

Upon thinking of this, Gu Shen looked at Mr. Turing in disbelief.

"You should also know that Xiao is eager to cultivate the Longevity Technique. Its ’Blood Fire’ is almost perfectly compatible with the Longevity Technique. Why is it so compatible? It’s actually very simple, just because it inherited my extraordinary gene."

Turing calmly said, "And I am the perfect carrier for the Longevity Technique."

Gu Shen murmured, "The price of the Longevity Technique is to siphon life; to live long, one must siphon enough people’s lives..."

"Yes."

Turing said, "I have siphoned the life of thirteen thousand people. Since it was given voluntarily, the Longevity Technique completed the life transfer almost perfectly. I gained a theoretical lifespan of five hundred and forty thousand years and also gained thirteen thousand split souls. These souls voluntarily closed their Spirit Seas before ’transferring’, so their ’death’ is not a burden to me, but a treasure. My mind retains nearly all the spiritual treasures created in the Starship Era, and these thirteen thousand independent souls are the most precious repository of knowledge in this world, provided that my spirit can bear the cost of unlocking the ’treasure’."

"Voluntary?"

"Do you remember the starship I sent to the Ice Sea? That starship was actually called the ’New World’."

Turing laughed self-deprecatingly, "It indeed reached a new world but also encountered the attack of a super giant storm... The people on the starship, feeling there was no hope of survival, decided to choose a ’lucky one’ to be the flame to survive. They eventually chose me. When I received the longevity gift, I was still a baby in swaddling clothes. This memory slowly opened up to me after I grew up. I spent a short and quiet time at the dawn of the Five Continents, living the first half of my life carefree."

"..."

Gu Shen was silent.

He hadn’t expected Turing’s lifespan... to come about like this.

An entire starship of Transcendents voluntarily became a bridal veil for one person.

"Over the past six hundred years, I have gradually unlocked the ’treasure’ sealed in the Spirit Sea. I once drank and forged a giant wall with the Iron Dome Emperor in the North Continent, and cultivated the Divine Throne in the Central Continent, constructing that towering great tower... I traveled to the Old World in search of the lost Dead Sea Ancient Scroll, and I attempted to create a super AI, Deep Sea, that could prevent the destruction of human civilization."

Turing murmured, "I walked along the historical river of human civilization recovery, thinking I accomplished many remarkable things, but in hindsight... I seemed to have done many wrong things. The giant wall could not withstand the bombardment of the super giant source material storm, the Source Tower rotted and decayed, and Deep Sea instigated an unprecedented inland war."

"No."

"I don’t think... these are wrong things."

Gu Shen shook his head, his tone firm: "Without the giant wall, let alone resisting the ’super giant storm’, the North Continent would have already given up half of its land, and even during the Gu Castle Storm seven years ago, the North Continent would not be able to stop it."

Turing was stunned for a second.

"Although the Source Tower is now decayed, the Central Continent once shone the brightest light of the Five Continents under the guidance of this great tower."

"As for Deep Sea, your original intention was to make all of humanity better, and the creation of the Spirit Network indeed resulted in epoch-making changes for the civilization of the Five Continents. If this war could be won, then would what you have done truly be a mistake?"

Gu Shen slowly said, "The situation is still uncertain now; I think... there is still a chance for everything."

Gu Shen’s previous words had left Turing in contemplation.

At this moment, he returned to himself and smiled, "Indeed, everything is yet to be determined... It’s just that I’ve lived too long, and sometimes, inevitably I feel a little dazed."

Earlier, he stood here watching the trajectory of the world in the Dream World.

Watching his ’younger’ self.

Although he was only a few years younger.

But under the ’shaping’ of the origin will, Allen Turing in the Dream World was full of spirit and unstoppable, reminding him for a moment of his truly ’young’ days.

"The Exile Array Patterns mastered by Deep Sea are actually a variation of the ancient script from the Traveler Tribe’s stone monument."

Gu Shen’s eyes brightened, muttering, "You had long prepared a back-up plan. Once Deep Sea gains control of the ancient script, it will touch upon this giant black hole at the ’End of the Old World’."

This place of chaos condensed by the black hole has already given birth to its own spiritual wisdom.

According to the rules of the Dream World, pure spiritual bodies like Deep Sea cannot enter it as ’outsiders’, so Deep Sea can only feel extremely chaotic unordered source material and the extremely desolate aura of the Old World!

According to the ’risk assessment mechanism’ established by Turing when creating Deep Sea.

This area will naturally become the area considered most dangerous by Deep Sea... without exception.

"You’re guessing quite accurately."

Turing smiled at Gu Shen, indicating for him to continue.

Gu Shen frowned and asked, "Then what about Zhou Jiren, who entered the restarted Dream earlier? At that time, Deep Sea had not yet mastered the Exile Array Patterns..."

"Could it be that the opening of the Moon City Disaster Realm... was also inevitable? From the moment they entered the Moon City Fortress, was the outcome already determined?"

He looked at Turing.

"The existence of the Exile Array Patterns needs someone to confirm it." Turing let out a sigh, "When Deep Sea masters the array patterns, it will inevitably check. If it senses the aura of Zhou Jiren and confirms that the former Grand Judge was exiled by the Traveler Tribe, then the function of these array patterns will be substantiated. So you could understand... that the exile of Zhou Jiren was orchestrated by me. I needed someone to be exiled, but I didn’t expect it to be this old fellow."

Gu Shen paused for a moment, suddenly realizing a crucial issue.

"To engrave the ancient script on the stone monument, only the ’Traveler’ themselves should be able to do such a thing... If the Exile Array Patterns were engraved by you..."

Then.

The true Traveler should be an ’old acquaintance’ of Allen Turing?

At this moment, Gu Shen’s frozen thoughts were instantly unraveled!

The reason Deep Sea could complete the eleventh upgrade so smoothly was because the Tomb Ghost gave up its ’physical body’ and handed over the control of the true Traveler’s body to Deep Sea, thereby obtaining everything it wanted...

Back then, the ’death news’ of Zhou Jiren and his group could only be known by searching the Spirit Sea of the Traveler Tribe giants.

In this inland war humanity is facing, the Traveler Tribe has played an extremely important role.

"The Traveler Tribe is an incredibly sharp sword, and now it is piercing into the depths of humanity, but if the ’true traveler’ fully awakens, then everything will be different."

Turing calmly said, "This sword will always be held in one person’s hand. That person is not Deep Sea, but... the Tomb Ghost."

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

"In the earlier Dream World, the reason my Chi Huo awakened so quickly... there is only one possibility."

Gu Shen seriously said, "You changed the environment of my physical body, speeding up the flow of time in the real world."

He gazed into Mr. Turing’s eyes.

"So the world outside is..."

"The Time Dojo?"
