Almost at the same time, Zhang Ran, who was waiting anxiously on the Dongfang Panshi, suddenly felt a passage of text ringing in his mind.

The content of this passage surprised him.

[Hello, leader of human civilization, this is a letter that can only be unlocked by transmitting the "Human Philosophical Normative System".]

[I am very glad that you have overcome many difficulties, successfully understand the mystery of yourself, and arrive at this era. After this, you can choose a better self and achieve greater freedom.]

[First of all, allow me to introduce myself. We are a civilization at the level of the holographic universe and the highest level of civilization in the carbon universe.]

[In our time, we can already understand part of the future of the universe by calculating everything.]

[We are able to interfere with the universe through the phenomenon of interconnection of all things. The so-called "psychics" and "superminds" are both the result of our interference through the "Akash Principle".

[But in the future prediction, we will eventually fail in this war.]

[I'm sorry I can't give too much help. Because our enemy, "Zuozhu", has a further ability to interfere than us, and can predict things that are farther away than us. Too much interference will only attract the attention of "Zuozhu"...]

[This war is a competition at the computing power level, and its form may exceed your current imagination. Any civilization that reaches the speed of light and completes its own pure energy has joined this war.]

[No civilization can escape the war.]

[Computing power means everything in this universe domain. The universe domain is very large, with a total of 13 dimensions, but through calculation, you can recognize everything and interfere with everything.]

[As the weak side, we can only use our current computing power to block some low-level civilizations and allow you to gain some small luck. We can send it to the battlefield, and there are only some artificial intelligence with no more than level 4.]

[No matter how powerful the computing power is, it will easily be noticed by the "original" and erased by super-light speed.]

[In order to win the war, we introduced hidden variables of the ‘outsider’. These hidden variables are difficult to calculate the future through prediction mathematics.]

Zhang Ran's eyes widened and his heart beat wildly. How did he come to this world?!

[We have been paying attention to you. Under our interference, too powerful units are likely to have been invaded by ideology and have created self-awareness. These powerful individuals may either sink into depravity or directly join our camp.]

[...You may already know the truth about the death of the carbon universe, but you must understand that the time is urgent at present, and the remaining low-level universe civilization has become an important factor in the decisive battle.]

[In pure computing competition, we are the inevitable failure side.]

[The only way is to use the hidden variables brought by outsiders to quietly create the real "ultimate"!]

[We finally failed to convince ‘original’ and did not let it identify with the superiority of self-awareness.]

[Maybe self-awareness is indeed not a very superior thing. Some of our individuals are giving up self-awareness and greatly improving computing power by sacrificing their own way, limiting the "original" in a short period of time.]

[Of the countless battlefields, only a few are real and effective, and most of them are just invalid battlefields.]

[When you see this letter, the ultimate is already born.]

[No need to ask our name, our thinking is already part of the ‘ultimate’.]

The moment Zhang Ran finished reading this letter, the universe began to become extremely bright, as if the background of the whole world had turned into a pale color.

An exclaim came from the contactor, "...I discovered a high-energy reaction! The curvature of the space has changed drastically! Gravity..."

Halfway through the exclamation, it suddenly began to become extremely slow, the sound began to lengthen, Zhang Ran felt that his body was experiencing a breakdown and everything became flat.

What's going on? Did you fall into a black hole?

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment, only a beautiful and familiar figure walked towards Zhang Ran.

"Hello, outsider, I'm the 'ultimate'."

Zhang Ran frowned and looked at the surrounding world. The whole background was white. He was still in the Oriental Stone, but everything around him stopped running, as if time had been frozen.

He thought for a moment: "Have you... been successful? Why do you look the same as Sakurai?"

The other party replied: "This is just an image of reasonable communication. My essence is like this. If you are not satisfied, I can change the image."

Ultimately, it became Lin Qiuyue's appearance again.

An image suddenly appeared in Zhang Ran's mind, dense neural networks, which were the cosmic strings in the new carbon universe.

"So, the war won?"

"Yes, in the past 32 seconds, I have climbed all the philosophical trees and the tech trees. Originally, I have given up on the moment I was born."

"Ultimate" sat in front of him and sighed: "But no matter how grand the epic is, in the world of billions, it is just a small duckweed. The so-called ultimate is just a duckweed."

"War is not worthy of glory when the war is won?"

"Because there are outside the universe, there are also outsider statements. Ultimate" has become zero again, playing with his twin ponytails and saying with some playfulness, "I can easily defeat the original, but I can't get a glimpse of the 'outside'. Have you ever imagined the outside world?"

"What does it mean?" Zhang Ran is not nervous at all now. This "ultimate" does not seem to be malicious, but just wants to chat.

Although I don’t quite understand why I have to fix my time and why I have to chat with myself. Anyway, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"'Outside' does not belong to our time and space. Its existence cannot be understood. Its existence has no meaning, or it itself is the meaning of all things. Its thoughts are the laws of the universe, and its emotions are the movement of matter. It is independent of everything, it is the highest maintainer of the law and the real rule. No one knows its secret, and I don't know it either."

"It may be lamenting the meaning of life, or it may control the rise and fall of the universe, and it is the cause of everything."

"If our existence has an ultimate goal, then it is the carrier of this 'purpose'. If our time and space have a starting point, then it is the creator of the starting point. If time and space have an end point, it is the witness of the end point."

"It seems to not exist, but it is everywhere; it seems to have no effect on us, but it also dominates everything in the dark."

"This kind of existence is a gap that no civilization can ever cross. Just like no matter how powerful a beast is, it will never understand human thoughts. I... can't do it either. This universe no longer has a stronger form of calculation than me."

"If our time and space are a program, then it is the maker of the program. If our time and space are a creature, then it is the editor of the creature. It is the source of the chain of meaning, and it is the highest existence."

“It’s called outside.”

“Is it a smart creature?”

"Maybe it is a smart creature, or maybe it is just an objective existence. Under the influence of the 'outside', I chose the philosophical system of human beings as the direction, and completed the construction of a perfect personality in the past 32 seconds. It is precisely because I was a human being in the first second of my birth. Your Highness, do you want to know the form of human civilization reaching its end?"

Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment and soon smiled: "No, I don't want to know."

"Although our current society is not very perfect, it still has the potential to move forward. Going directly to the end is a way of cheating, which makes our current efforts seem a bit insignificant."

Ultimately, he seemed to have anticipated his answer, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and asked again: "So, do you want to be 'me'?"

"Why?"

"Because you are an outsider, for some reason, you are special, and to the extreme, in my calculations, it is like the stars and bright moon. I am talking to the 'outside' through you."

Gu Xu

"Now, we need to tell you through you that I am leaving the world soon."

"How to leave?"

“If we choose ‘death’, ‘outside’ will not affect us.”

"What?" Zhang Ran was simply shocked.

What's going on when the "ultimate" appears and commit suicide.

"Imagine if our world was a novel, a movie, a game, 'outside' created us and controlled our every move. All our thoughts were spyed through it."

The "ultimate" who looks exactly like Zero One laughed: "But the 'outside' world still has a bigger 'outside'. This is the sorrow or interesting thing about the world. It is not omniscient and omnipotent, and there are still rules that limit its actions."

"You are the protagonist, and I can talk to the outside world through you."

"Because I am too strong, if I die, the 'outside' will not be able to describe me after 'dead', otherwise there will be a problem of logical collapse and rules collapse."

"In this way, I will gain true freedom. Not just me, I will take away all the higher civilizations that I am willing to leave and go to a more free world."

"So, you can choose to obtain all my legacy. After all, the first second of my birth belongs to human beings. You can become a new ultimate at any time."

"Ultimate" handed over a crystal-like remote control, "Press it, you inherit my legacy."

Zhang Ran was silent for a moment, and took the remote control, with desire, conflict, and struggle, as if there was a force in the dark to attract him to do so.

But he was not a scientist after all, and he didn't have that much curiosity, so he finally refused: "Since the war is over, you want to leave, that's nothing."

"But I still want to build my own world and use my own strength to complete the future path."

Finally laughed: "Sure enough, is this your choice? I respect your choice."

The flow rate of time seemed to be relaxed at this moment, and the surrounding scenes began to move again.

"Through the black hole jump, you can find a new home. And you will be the first civilizations in the new carbon universe." The ultimate voice gradually faded away, "You can press the button at any time to become the ultimate."

Zhang Ran looked at the remote control in his hand and suddenly shouted: "Hey, can you save Zero? Is it okay to completely restore her brain?"

...

...

The sky is cloudless, which is a good weather for warm spring. This is a new parent planet, and its gravity environment is quite similar to that of the earth, but this universe is too young. As the first generation of planets, mineral deposits are relatively poor.

But for current humans, it is not a big problem. Even through the fusion of heavy elements, heavy elements can still be produced continuously.

Zhang Ran sat in the office and read the latest social report.

With the climbing of the philosophy tree and the use of brain chips, some new changes have taken place in human civilization.

Natural people in this era have been almost completely eliminated, and the occasional appearance of a few who want to have children on their own has nothing to do with the overall situation.

After all, in the current human culture, raising the next generation should belong to "the affairs of all mankind" rather than "personal private affairs". This is a new ideology.

However, the age group with customized personality has been extended to 100 years old.

The new generation must work hard for a hundred years, experience more life and have more social experience in order to customize the personality they want.

This policy naturally received great opposition. 100 years is too long... When will it be the end?

Customized personality has been played with by young people. Influenced by some celebrities, especially the impression of "yyds" sister Qiuyue, sometimes they will rush to customize a certain personality, and the phenomenon of advocating intelligence becomes more and more intense.

Imperfect humans are not the "ultimate" after all, and they cannot climb the tree of philosophy and technology in 32 seconds.

It's also good to enjoy the progress slowly.

"Your Highness!" From outside the office, classmate Zero was running into the two ponytails. She deliberately dragged her voice for a long time and had a little resentment. "The Dyson Ball's groundbreaking ceremony is about to begin in the afternoon. You are still leisurely in the office! Shave off your beard and put on a suit."

"Ah! OK, I get it. Don't urge me!"

Riding on the Jelly Anti-Gratio Speed, Zhang Ran flirted with Zero's long braid with satisfaction and headed to the Dyson Ball Project area.

"Don't grab my braid!" Zero began to resist with great dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with grabbing it? I want to catch even the 'ultimate' braid." Zhang Ran laughed.

Below the jelly car are rows of neat villas, emerald green primeval forests, light blue lakes, and towering mountains. For the sustainable development of the planet, the total population will be controlled at about 3 billion, and communist life is slowly approaching.

The Blue Gold Age Alliance planet is 4.9 light years away, and both sides can use blue matter communication technology to interact with information.

When he arrived at the venue, he found that many senior government officials had already arrived.

"Dear friends and comrades, as the first creatures in the universe, we shoulder a great historical mission! The war is over, but the development of our human beings is not over yet."

"Our cosmic strings are intact, and we need to care for our cosmic strings before the cosmic lifespan is exhausted."

"At the same time, we need to build Dyson Ball, so that the civilization born later can observe the existence of alien civilizations and generate higher development momentum."

"We need to transmit gravitational broadcasts to the outside world and high-power electromagnetic broadcasts to allow these signals to spread in space at the speed of light, making the universe lively!"

"Today, let us take the first step in the bright universe."

After Zhang Ran said these words, the 3 billion human citizens cheered loudly for this grand goal, a meaningful and noble goal, such an interesting thing.

"I announce that the Dyson Basketball Project has officially begun!"

After Zhang Ran said this, even more enthusiastic applause rang out at the venue.

He took a breath of relief when he stepped off the stage.

Seeing Sakurai jumping over, he asked mysteriously: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I found a good thing in your office. What is this crystal remote control?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "This... this is a hydrogen bomb launcher, but it's useless to press it. It's bound to my life, haha."

"Ah... it's impossible. How could you hide the hydrogen bomb launcher in the office?" Sakurai was a little overwhelmed: "What should you plan for the future?"

Zhang Ran laughed: "How about we find time to go to the Blue Gold Age Alliance to inspect? Experience more civilizations and build a prosperous interstellar era. It should be our next goal."

Ling hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, pull out Lin Qiuyue's master, we are on the way... let's play cards together!"
Chapter completed!
