Chapter 3400: The Fall of Kunlun Capital (61) The Witch's Taboo

Chapter 3400 [Kunlun City] Fall (61) - The Witch's Taboo

Anan didn't care whether the riot in the lower class area was quelled or not - when she found that Li Jianyi's attitude was unexpectedly gentle, she felt that she might have done some useless work.

If it were someone else, they would probably be furious.

She used the vision of the dark soul to observe the other party, but unfortunately the secret eye of the dark soul could not see through the other party's true self...something covered up his inner self.

There was no good solution to this situation - either she had to work hard to upgrade the ability of the secret eye, or she had to find a way to remove Li Jianyi's protection.

There really was a huge production line in front of him, with robotic arms, cables, conveyor belts, containers, and various liquid pools... The huge production line throughout the whole day gave An Nan the illusion that he was back on the "tech side".

The hanging mechanical clamps were now clamping the bio-spheres one by one and embedding them into the cultivation tanks... They were densely packed, just like a beehive.

The name [Nest of Life] is quite appropriate.

But looking at the operation of the huge production line in front of her, Xiangxiang was already stunned - she even opened the guard's mask and used her own eyes to explore everything in front of her.

Her eyes revealed a strong sense of uneasiness and fear - she saw her own clone, at the top of the culture tank, three rows of numbers.

Looking at the [female bodies] curled up in containers, soaked in special solutions, and only able to be maintained by respirators... Xiangxiang suddenly fell to the ground, covered her mouth with her hands, and began to dry heave.

Xunan and Li Jianyi both looked at Xiangxiang's current state with expressionless faces.

Xie Nan suddenly said, "Look, you scared me."

"I'm not surprised." Li Jianyi said calmly.

Ah Nan frowned slightly, and said with a thought in his mind: "It sounds like this is not the first time... How come you have let a certain experimental subject see this scene before?"

"I am more and more surprised at you, Miss Nan." Li Jianyi pressed his finger lightly on his glasses, his eyes passed through the lenses and his fingers, and then he began to look around, "I even suspect that Miss Nan, you may know what we are doing."

Ah Nan spread his hands and said hi.

Li Jianyi smiled slightly, but asked: "Miss Nan, what do you think the essence of life is?"

"Oh... I don't do philosophy." Ah Nan waved her hand again... She was not interested in getting involved in this kind of question. There were a thousand explanations for a thousand Void Immortals, and each of them insisted on his own way, which could not be convinced even by fists.

"From a scientific perspective, the human body..."

"I know."

"..." Li Jianyi gave a helpless smile, and then sighed, "How is the soul born? Is it just a simple thought? The activity of the cerebral cortex nerves, the spark of each chemical reaction, is it the fire of will? On the [mythological side], as a cultivator, you can sense the [God's will] that exists in the dark... Is [God's will] also a chemical reaction of a certain [brain]? Then who does this [brain] belong to? Are we, the so-called humans, just a tiny cell in a higher-dimensional organism?"

Xunan blinked his eyes. This guy... is there something special?

Li Jianyi opened his hands slightly at this time, and in his arms was a chaotic and vast scene - this was certainly not the case for him to be able to take the void into his palms, it was just a projection of a concept, most likely projected by the central nervous system.

So Nan was not panicked at all at this moment - if her boss opened his hands to show her this, she would kneel immediately, and any hesitation for a second would be a lack of respect for herself.

"Who divided this void?" Li Jianyi said softly, as if asking himself: "Does this void also have a will? Where did the first life in this void come from? The void... why is it still expanding? Where is its beginning and where is its end?"

"You've gone crazy, man." Ah Nan narrowed his eyes... This guy, there's something wrong - as if he was in the... confused period of those guys who transcended the sub-world and became immortal in the void.

He walked out of the past?

Ah Nan... the real Star Witch also once went through such a relatively confused stage - most of the Void Immortals will experience it, mostly because of the conceptual shock brought about by suddenly breaking into an infinite world after transcending the sub-world, as well as some kind of call from the [Origin].

——Actually, it’s just the unfamiliar climate and environment.

--Get used to it.

"How about we change the angle?" Li Jianyi chuckled, and the projection of the stars in the void that he embraced with his hands began to stretch and shape, and gradually formed... a human figure.

This is the outline of a human body, but the interior is still like empty stars and deep space.

Miss Nan couldn't help but be stunned.

"The human body is a treasure with infinite potential." Li Jianyi's eyes were obsessed at this time. "Every atom, and even particles smaller than atoms, hide a more macroscopic world... Dimension? I don't know, but it always fascinates me."

"You actually compared it to the human body..." Ah Nan sighed and looked at Li Jianyi with a strange expression, "According to what you said, you are most likely the pathogen in this body?"

"Human will, the void also has will. The human body is an infinite treasure. Why can't the void be another kind of [human body]... a [life] beyond any cognition?" Li Jianyi suddenly raised his voice, "A person can classify his soul and have many different personalities, existing at the same time. There are even accidents of two souls in one body. Then, you, me, all things, everything, why can't it be a separate individual imagined by the [void]?"

Ah Nan opened his mouth.

Li Jianyi did not stop. "When all of this is just the creation of the mind under the empty [will] thinking, countless miracles that you and I think of can happen. Time, space, cause and effect, all the paradoxes that you and I think of are no longer a problem. Because all of this is born in the mind, it is just infinite imagination! Then, even if it is..."

Ah Nan's soul suddenly started beating wildly.

"Then, even if it is fate!" Li Jianyi opened his arms completely, "Does it become, natural?"

Ah Nan slowly exhaled, her beating soul gradually calmed down, she suddenly smiled and clapped her hands gently, "So... Doctor, are you hungry?"

Li Jianyi frowned.

Ah Nan asked quietly, "Did you see a little man jumping out of your body?"

"Ms. Nan doesn't seem to agree with me." Li Jianyi adjusted his glasses.

"You don't seem to need other people's approval, do you?" Ah Nan sighed, "I think it's enough for you to have fun by yourself, so why do you need to involve me and lower your own concentration?"

Li Jianyi's silence... was very depressing.

Ah Nan sighed again at this time, "Okay, I think I know your ultimate goal... It's too far away, let's get back to the present. What's Xiangxiang about? Is she the key you use to knock on the door of this ultimate goal? Don't fool me with nonsense like studying the activities of the cerebral cortex... This kind of cloned life can be studied, but species that are born normally can't be studied? Don't be ridiculous."

"There are indeed other reasons for using the [Nest of Life]." Li Jianyi said calmly: "As Miss Nan said, there is actually not much difference no matter which one is used... But is it really so?"

"Oh...stability." Ah Nan thought thoughtfully, "You can control the progress of thoughts at any time, right? Once the experimental subject deviates, it can be recovered or even destroyed at any time... The new individual can be put into use directly as long as the relevant information is downloaded, and the environment can be adjusted continuously."

"I'm a little bit looking forward to Miss Nan joining us." Li Jianyi's eyes were burning. "Even Song Ying took almost a month to figure out all this... Of course, these are just general concepts."

"Song what?" Ah Nan couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Teacher Song? She... is also one of you?"

"We just share with each other." Li Jianyi shook his head. "At first, she just wanted to use the financial resources of Pingtian to find people in the Gate of Ruins. We will confirm a lot of things, but she will also hold some different opinions. This is a good thing. How can ideas be exciting without the collision of contradictions?"

Ah Nan suddenly sighed, "Brother, since you have told me so much, I will give you a suggestion."

Li Jianyi was a little surprised, "Please go ahead."

"Don't touch Instructor Song." Ah Nan said seriously, "I'm afraid you...you can't control yourself."

"Are you talking about Lu Da?" Li Jianyi pondered, "He is indeed a rather difficult person, but we have no intention of harming Teacher Song. Even Lu Da cannot stop his daughter from pursuing her own path."

"...Anyway, that's all I have to say." Anan shook his head and didn't intend to continue this topic.

——TM, the boss’s three… can you just touch them whenever you want?

——I am still waiting and watching myself...

She couldn't help but complain... Speaking of which, it seems like the boss hasn't gone to see San for a while...

……

After pondering for a while about Miss Nan's sudden advice, Li Jianyi felt that there was something wrong... Luda was indeed a very unstable factor.

However, does this Miss Nan actually know Luda?

Ever since Miss Nan appeared in [Huoyun City] and approached [Red Boy], she has been included in Niu Daguang's sight - at least, from the time she came into contact with the eldest lady to now, she has not had any intersection with Luda.

Before she appeared in [Huoyun City]?

Or maybe they met through the [Red King’s Mausoleum]?

He already knew that Miss Nan had the ability to clone herself, so the authenticity of his previous surveillance of her would be greatly reduced... and she also had the magical ability to transform machinery, and she claimed that she got it from the [Red King's Mausoleum].

"Miss Nan, please look at something." Li Jianyi suddenly said, and called out the central nervous system, "Open the zero base point."

Ah Nan glanced at Zhongshu Niang... The style of the girl with bunny ears is very consistent with Lao Niu's hobbies?

Gee...

The so-called base zero was deep in the [Nest of Life] - just below the base of the huge culture tank. As the floor cracked, a huge silver-white ring slowly rose.

In the circle, there was a shining colorful ball of light floating... a gemstone ball.

"This is..." Miss Nan walked slightly forward... The special glass screen in the control room in front of her completely blocked the light released by the ball.

"Progress is 79 percent." Li Jianyi said softly: "The artificial soul core... uses the data of the employees in the fortress."

Ah Nan's pupils shrank slightly, and he said calmly: "So I ask, what are you actually busy with? You spent so much manpower, material resources and time just to build something like this? Is it that after the people outside died, their souls and spirits did not disperse, or is the [Ninth Hell] actually empty?"

Li Jianyi was surprised and said, "Miss Nan seems to be guiding it in another direction? Although I don't know why you want to do this, but if I answer... the technology of simply driving the puppet by penetrating the soul, [Yunzhongliao] has reached the pinnacle five thousand years ago."

Xunan showed a suspicious look, "What did you say? Inject the soul to drive the puppet? Did you build this thing to drive something?"

"Let the machines have growth potential." Li Jianyi stared at Miss Nan deeply, "Give them real souls... What we hope to achieve is true mechanical ascension. It is not just the model of the Mechanical God Court that abandons the flesh and traps the consciousness in a metal cage."

Xunan remained silent.

What she was actually thinking of was something even more terrifying—something that could restrain her abilities. It was an anti-Star Witch weapon created by the [Technology-side] nobles who had been tortured enough by her: the [Biological Battleship]!

This artificial soul core in front of us... although still very crude, it is definitely following this path - and, this was created by Li Jianyi and the [Pingtian] Group on the [Mythology Side] with only some secondary technology supplies from the Mechanical God Court.

Should we say that the soil of the [mythology side] is more rebellious, or that Li Jianyi and Lao Niu have too big imaginations?

"Oh..." Ah Nan sighed softly.

……

A sigh sounded, and Li Jianyi suddenly looked forward to what Miss Nan would say next... This woman who had obtained the [Red King's Mausoleum] technology and also knew a lot of [technological] intelligence, really had too many expectations for Li Jianyi.

Especially her ability to transform machinery.

When he first felt a hint of life coming from the mechanical guard, Li Jianyi knew that Miss Nan was the person he needed... She was an indispensable piece of the puzzle for mechanical life after constructing the artificial soul core.

"So, you explained all this to me..." Ah Nan raised his eyes and looked at Li Jianyi: "On the premise that I must join you, right?"

"Miss Nan said before that you wanted to join us." Li Jianyi chuckled, "I have already asked Boss Niu about your request. He actually agreed and also said that he hopes that you can have a taste of your flavor after you join."

"Does he really want to die?" Xunan sneered, "Does he think he's safe hiding in a turtle shell?"

"I am just responsible for conveying his meaning." Li Jianyi said indifferently: "Even if you expect to kill him, it has nothing to do with me... So, what is Miss Nan's answer?"

"The answer?" An Nan chuckled and stroked her hair - if I don't reveal the core today, I will just give myself up... Oh, I won't raise the flag anymore.

——How could he allow something that could threaten him to appear here...even if it was just a rough prototype?

——This is...her forbidden thing.

Bang-!

……

Bang-!

A flash of blue electric light passed directly between Miss Nan and Li Jianyi, striking the console in front of the two people, instantly melting a deep hole.

At the same time, the conversation between the two was interrupted.

Ah Nan frowned, and Li Jianyi moved his eyes calmly.

"Don't move... Don't move!" With shaking hands, she raised the electromagnetic rail rifle with difficulty and swung it between Ah Nan and Li Jianyi... Miss Xiangxiang's eyes were distracted at this time, and her voice was trembling, "I will shoot!"

She heard it all.

"Stop... Stop everything here right now!"

“Stop it——!!!”

Roar.

"Did you hear me? I told you to stop--!!"

Xiangxiang suddenly pressed the switch, and the electromagnetic rail rifle instantly shot out a strong light... which flashed past Li Jianyi's cheek.

"It is you who wants to know the truth." Li Jianyi waved his hand casually.

At this moment, the Central Lady reacted... Four guns were instantly lowered from the four corners of the control room and locked onto Xiangxiang at the same time.

Seeing this, Miss Nan quietly stretched out her finger and lightly tapped the control panel... The [Star Creation] technique, like an electric current, instantly covered all the circuits in the control room.

The next moment, the weapon pointing at Xiangxiang instantly changed its position.

"Losing control." The Central Lady's voice was very calm. "Repairing... Repair failed... Try to repair again..."

"No, that's it." Li Jianyi suddenly sighed and waved his hand, causing the center to give up the current action. "Miss Nan, is this your answer?"

"Is Niu Daguang watching here?" An Nan sneered and looked at a hidden camera in the corner. "Boss Niu, if I want to kill you... how long do you think it will take me to do it?"

Snapped--!

The camera exploded instantly.

Li Jianyi frowned.

Outside the control room, the entire production line was collapsing... Petri dishes exploded, solutions sprayed, and bodies were washed out one after another.

The voice of the Central Lady sounded again, "We are losing control of the production line... Already lost, we are losing secondary control of the [Nest of Life]... Already lost... Go..."

The silhouette of the Central Lady suddenly became blurry, flickering, and distorted - and finally disappeared.

"Doctor, how long will it take me to kill you?"

Miss Nan suddenly flashed over, and her right hand was covered with a layer of silver gauntlet... A red and black lightsaber suddenly slashed towards Li Jianyi!

Li Jianyi's pupils suddenly contracted. The moment the red and black lightsaber came slashing at him, lines of scriptures instantly flashed across his shoulders, blocking the lightsaber.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…

The scripture shattered crazily... then regenerated, then shattered again, and shattered several times in an instant... Li Jianyi's face sank slightly, and his eyes were vaguely cold.

"It seems that I have underestimated Miss Nan's ability."

"No." Xunan said calmly, "It's just that you don't know who you are playing games with."

cut--!

The red and black lightsaber suddenly tripled in size, completely exceeding the regeneration speed of the scriptures... Li Jianyi's eyes were filled with horror as the lightsaber slashed across his body!

The space instantly twisted Li Jianyi... and after twisting into an origin, he completely disappeared.

The lightsaber made a buzzing sound, and Miss Nan frowned slightly, unhappy... She scratched her hair, she was still greedy, and was reluctant to blow up the fortress directly, so she only used the lightsaber.

……

Outside the Nest of Life.

In the air above the courtyard of the upper area, a vortex was distorted... Li Jianyi appeared, his face slightly pale—one of his arms was hanging down, his left shoulder was chopped off, and there was a horrible scar on his chest.

The red and black energy intertwined, bringing with it a terrifying destructive force.

The projection of the Central Lady appeared and floated beside Li Jianyi. "Do you need to activate the medical cabin?"

"I guess there's nothing we can do." Li Jianyi shook his head. Although his face was pale, there was no trace of pain from his injuries... as if he couldn't feel his own body.

Only the scriptures flashing from the shoulders quickly merged into the loose mouth, dispersing the terrible destructive force bit by bit.

"This kind of energy is difficult to purify even with the [Wutian Scripture]..."

boom--!

A ray of blue light instantly penetrated the [Nest of Life] and shot straight towards Li Jianyi... Li Jianyi moved in an instant, and saw a ray of red light breaking through the [Nest of Life] and flying directly into the air.

A humanoid battle armor with red wings spread out!

“God-killing Armor…” Li Jianyi couldn’t help but open his mouth, “You can actually drive the God-killing Armor?”

The man in red armor slowly stretched out his hand.

Li Jian was silent for a moment, his face gloomy - the artificial soul core was in the hands of Shenmie Jia at this time, and Anan, who was controlling Shenmie Jia, crushed the core directly in front of him without saying a word.
