Chapter 759: Chapter 756: "Pioneer Immortality (4)" (Extra 4k Chapter by Alliance Hierarch Sand Sculpture Makes Me Happy, Second Spectrum in Flight)After sitting idly for a day, you decided to initiate the Dawn System.
To initiate the Dawn System, you first needed to construct a reasonable "Two Dimensions" world.
"I must enter into the Dawn System and repeatedly initiate simulations alone to deduce the initial values for the ’Two Dimensions’ world. This way, when the ’Two Dimensions’ world is genuinely inaugurated, all humanity can step into the ’most reasonable’ ’Two Dimensions’ world," you explained.
You explained to Lin Guang, your most trusted companion, what needed to be done.
"I understand, it’s like ’trial and error,’" said Lin Guang.
"Yes, I need to obtain the most suitable initial values for the ’Two Dimensions’ world," you said.
"Let’s start, I’ll be beside you," Lin Guang said, sitting down next to you.
You stored your consciousness in the Dawn System, the perception of time magnified infinitely, and you began the simulation.
For instance, how much temperature was needed to maximize life sustenance.
Or how high the sun needed to be for the fastest plant growth.
All this you needed to experience in the virtual world, lasting years, or even decades.
After eighty-nine simulations, you exited the Dawn System. Through many simulations, you had measured the initial environmental values needed for the ’Two Dimensions’ world. Next, there were plant values, animal values, city values... You had to match them exactly with the real world.
Then, when the ’Two Dimensions’ were formally initiated, humanity could most suitably enter a new life.
"You’re back? I made some tea," Lin Guang was still sitting beside you.
"How long has it been in reality?" you asked while sipping his clear tea.
"Ten minutes," Lin Guang said.
"Mm... I’ve spent twelve years in the Dawn System," you said.
Lin Guang was silent.
He just quietly watched you, his gaze stretching like moonlight. Even a thousand words could not illuminate the weight. Five seconds later, he hugged you. The hug trembled intensely, as if it were a declaration of faith.
At that moment, you suddenly felt a sting in your nose.
You patted his back, unable to extricate yourself from his shaking.
"Okay, okay..." you whispered.
He remained silent, not leaving you, like a knight wielding a Blood Sword.
You embarked on a tireless journey.
Zone Eleven. Freedom Alliance. Tribunal. Hope City. Antofa City... You constructed many fledgling powers in this fictional world, setting their locations and buildings.
You visited every corner, measured every inch of land with your feet.
The ’Two Dimensions’ world you constructed became more and more perfect, you believed that when the Dawn System was officially launched, humanity could sustain there for a long time.
After two hundred seventy-eight simulations, when you exited the Dawn System, your consciousness blurred momentarily, and you almost forgot who you were.
You suddenly became vigilant.
The human soul has a lifespan, even though your body was still young.
The length of time you had experienced had already begun to exceed your capacity—your soul started eroding, your consciousness began to blur, and wisdom began to degrade. In one simulation, you slept for several days. Sometimes, you would forget how to chew your food and needed nutrient solutions for sustenance. Sometimes, you would even forget how to speak or pronounce words... You were like a young man suffering from dementia.
"Who, who are you?" you stared blankly at Lin Guang after one simulation.
He paused for a moment, gripped your hand tightly, "I am Lin Guang."
You nodded your head.
A moment later, you asked, "Who am I?"
"You are Yasa Acto."
You nodded your head.
Moments later, you asked again, "Who am I?"
"You are Yasa Acto," Lin Guang repeated patiently, trying to awaken your worn memory.
"I am Yasa Acto," you laughed, your laugh naive like a foolish infant, "Why do you look so sad, smile, Lin Guang."
Moments later, you asked again:
"...Hey, who am I?"
You did not understand why Lin Guang’s gaze was so painful. Your spirit felt like it was on the brink of shattering, like a dehydrated fish.
After taking some medicine, you came back to your senses, realizing that you had just experienced symptoms of amnesia.
You almost couldn’t extricate yourself from your own fear.
One day, you look at yourself in the mirror and find the person reflected there to be a stranger. What is it that resides in those ashen eyes of yours... what exactly is it?
Is it the haze on the battlefield?
Is it the fine black gunpowder?
Or is it the ashes of the dead that you once held in your hands, ultimately falling into your eyes?
Are these somber colors what turned your eyes a deep gray, or was this their original hue?
...
[I remember I once so loved philosophy and mysteries.]
[But now, I wouldn’t spare them a glance.]
[—Why is that?]
[My face has never aged, yet has my soul entered its twilight years?]
...
"Teacher, can we give up? Take me on a voyage," Tretiya says one day, her lips painted red like a flame, pleading with you to leave.
"I’m sorry," you say, "I can’t. I must lead humanity into the ’Two Dimensions.’"
Upon hearing this, Tretiya can only sigh.
She gives you a bronze pocket watch, adorned with a gold chain.
In the simulation, when you feel blurred about time, you use it to keep track. It’s your anchor, reminding you who you are and that there is someone named Tretiya waiting for you.
You have already pushed the re
[Once more...]
Lin Guang always sat beside you, accompanying you through the simulations.
After a simulation, you breathed heavily, almost passing out.
"Can’t you think of yourself for once? You have become the balance itself, one side is the world, the other is you. In a hundred, a thousand measures, will there be one time when you tip the balance in your own favor?" Lin Guang looked at you:
"You always... neglect yourself, ignore yourself, hurt yourself, sacrifice yourself..."
But you simply smiled and didn’t agree to his plea.
"No need to persuade me anymore, this is the one-thousand-and-second simulation. I succeeded," you told him.
Lin Guang was briefly stunned.
He had never thought you would succeed.
But you really did it.
It was like watching in slow motion—you saw the excitement flickering in Lin Guang’s eyes, saw your companions joyfully rushing towards you. You saw... perfect "Two Dimensions" data being collected by you, just waiting for you to formally lead all humanity into it.
Just waiting for you...to pour your own life into it.
You finally constructed the most perfect initial "Two Dimensions" world—you named it "Kaius Tower."
In the era of Catastrophe, it represented a legend.
—Legend has it, there was a bird named "Caius" that rose at dusk and fell at dawn. Hovering above the sky, forever accompanying the first gleam of morning light.
—Legend has it, it wouldn’t die, wouldn’t touch the ground, forever flying in the air, embodying hope.
You hoped... that this bird, a symbol of hope and peace, could bring humanity a new dawn.
As you gradually detached from the Dawn System, you finally felt peace.
On the horizon, the sunrise ascended.
...
"Pioneer Immortality, Eternal Dawn."
...
You watched the distant sunrise and gently smiled.
"I wish to use my abilities to bring you a future."
...
...
"My face is no longer smiling, my voice has become icy, not even the piano could bring back the softness in my nature."
"How long has it been since I hugged someone, touched someone’s hand? I actually have no recollection of what 36.7 degrees feels like. I have long since become something I could not imagine."
"Thus, I have always despised deifying a person, which is equivalent to depriving a person of their sensibility, stripping away their soft outer shell, depriving them of their social and loving abilities, and elevating them to a cold divine throne, metamorphosed into a steel symbol adorned with flowers."
"I take pride in being human. To me, Gods are an abhorrent race."
"But this deeply flawed world needs a god."
"Yet everyone needs me to become a god."
...
You watched the glowing Dawn System with a tender gaze.
Your smile was light and slow, yet the smile seemed like a sigh from nowhere, with emotions swelling and trembling.
"Thus, I am Yasa Acto."
"—I self-deprecatingly become a God."
White birds circled around you.
Like a grand shamanistic ritual.
