Chapter 80 [The Bottleneck of the Creator]
Leaning back in the rattan rocking chair, Xu Ye idly observed his world through the aid of the primordial spores and the Heavenly Dao.
In front of me, several aquariums were quietly operating under the soft blue light.
Four secondary cylinders surround the main cylinder, which is several times larger.
In the sandbox of the continent of Ashem, three sparks are burning as he envisioned.
Mason and his forge-seekers, on their westward journey, had just used a ridiculously rudimentary bellows to pry open the stubborn minds of the dwarves, opening a crack in the door to humanity's path to systematic chemical engineering.
Lia and the fire keepers, who traveled eastward, finally broke free from their obsession with the answer and realized that the process is the grammar of knowledge, thus opening a magnificent door to ancient wisdom.
Kahn, who remained in the central valley, was also forging a primitive faith called the War Soul for humanity in the most brutal way.
The primordial spores within Xu Ye's body joyfully responded with a sense of spiritual fulfillment, sweeping away the fatigue brought on by days of observation.
He smacked his lips.
very delicious.
This is exactly what he wanted: the brilliant sparks that civilization ignites when faced with the dilemma of survival and destruction.
But this is not enough.
The three extraordinary paths he left behind are like three product prototypes that have not yet been tested by the market.
Will the sacred mountain of craftsmen be tarnished by the dullness of mortals?
Will the Eternal Black Flame be extinguished due to a lack of successors?
Will the arcane canon be misinterpreted because it is too profound?
These three paths are his core assets for feeding the primordial spores in the future, and he cannot tolerate them becoming dormant.
The activity of primordial spores, after experiencing a previous explosive growth, has once again shown signs of slowing down.
It seems that a bottleneck has been reached at a certain stage, and no further improvement is possible.
"The evolution of mortals is still too slow."
Xu also wrote a word in the Genesis Diary: catalyst.
He began to review the entire process.
From the initial primitive war between Moonfire and Silver Game, to the technological leap of the Kaz civilization in fighting the plague, to the three kings of Ashem, and finally to the current three-way parallel of the human race.
These nutrients are divided into different grades.
The human race's current performance is undoubtedly of high quality.
Mason's subversion of the dwarf technology system.
Lia's logical deciphering of the essence of magic.
Kahn's violent promotion of primitive beliefs.
Each and every one of them was a wonderful story that made him applaud.
They were like three top students, steadily progressing on their respective paths.
There will be conflicts, but they will mostly be limited to differences in each other's ideas.
There will be progress, but it will likely only be a deeper exploration and improvement within the existing system.
That's not enough.
For Xu Ye, it was like watching a well-made documentary, full of rational beauty.
However, the primordial spore, this gluttonous eater, clearly has a more primitive and greedy appetite.
What it desires is a fierce clash of tens of thousands of ideas.
It is a paradigm revolution that is enough to overturn the world's fundamental understanding.
It was a massive, unpredictable evolutionary explosion, full of chaos and surprises.
The three paths for humans are good.
But their interactions are still too few and too slow.
Perhaps a powerful external force is needed, a group of "variables" full of exploratory desire, destructive desire and boundless imagination, to impact, verify and interpret the three divine paths he left behind.
He turned his gaze away from the sandbox world and got up to return to his computer in the bedroom.
On the screen is the official forum for a popular online game.
Countless players are intensely discussing the changes in the new version.
They analyze data, debate tactics, create slang and memes unique to the player community, and some have even written tens of thousands of words on the world-building.
Countless independent ideas, connected by network cables, have collectively created a virtual cultural ecosystem that is far larger and more vibrant than the game itself.
A bold, even insane, idea surfaced in Xu Ye's mind.
"if……"
"What if I brought them all into my world?"
Let these souls on Earth, brimming with whimsical ideas, a strong desire to explore, and an insatiable urge to destroy, become super accelerators for the evolution of their own worlds.
He wanted to turn Assam's laboratory into a reactor capable of conducting tens of thousands of independent experiments simultaneously!
They would treat [Craftsman's Sacred Mountain] as the ultimate dungeon to conquer.
They will treat the [Eternal Blackfire] trial as a hidden job change quest.
They would treat the fragments of the Arcane Codex as a rewarding hidden questline.
Their very existence is the greatest subversion and the fastest interpretation of the world's "history".
Once this idea takes root, it can no longer be suppressed.
He named the plan "The Catastrophe".
He rubbed his hands together excitedly and began to review the experience of deploying the three "Awakeners" before.
He realized that he absolutely could not simply throw this cruel, real world at the players.
We must coat them with a sugar coating called "game".
He began designing the most basic game system.
First, there is a reduction in pain sensation.
The sheer pain of real-world situations is enough to deter 99% of people.
It must be done through the Heavenly Dao system to convert it into a reduction in HP values that players are familiar with.
Secondly, there is the closed loop of death and resurrection.
Real death, of course, is not acceptable.
What he needs is free labor that can be repeatedly exploited.
Perhaps he also thought of the natives of the continent of Ashem.
There are always some unlucky people who will die due to various accidents.
Their bodies remain intact and fresh.
The moment a player's soul logs in, the Ascension Interface will activate the Heavenly Dao System to repair bodily damage and perfectly synchronize with the soul.
To the indigenous people, these people were a miracle of "coming back from the dead".
For players, this is simply a matter of "character creation" or "resurrection".
Perfect.
Most importantly, it's about information exchange.
A semi-transparent, futuristic UI is essential; it will appear in the corner of the player's field of vision, displaying health, map, and missions.
The tribe's language will also be automatically translated into text subtitles that players can understand through the interface.
At the heart of the entire system is a super translator.
It translates a real, cruel, and unreasonable alien world into a surreal game with rules, logic, and traceability.
The blueprint has been completed.
Xu Ye's excitement gradually subsided.
He encountered a problem.
How to achieve?
How to project the soul of another world into one's own sandbox on a large scale, safely, and in a controlled manner?
The current Ascension Interface is designed for the precise deployment of "Awakened Ones" and can only hold a very small number of souls at a time.
Supporting tens of thousands of players online simultaneously goes beyond the realm of biocatalysis and enters a more fundamental technological field.
Xu also stood up.
He walked toward the No. 2 sand table, which he had sealed with multiple physical locks and primordial spore restrictions, and which had long since fallen into eternal silence.
【Sanctuary of Civilization: Anthill】
His gaze pierced through the glass, looking at the silent, timeless metal city.
To realize this massive plan, he needs the "black technology" left behind by the Kaz civilization.
