Gao Xin actually answered him, "The Great Saint Spirit created the universe, but did not subjectively design the universe."

"Humans are three-dimensional, aren't they the ones who created Emperor Ran as well?"

Xia Heng was enlightened; Emperor Ran is indeed a perfect analogy.

Humans themselves didn't know how they accidentally created Emperor Ran. It was an anomaly event.

And the Great Saint Spirit's creation of the universe was also accidental because it is chaotically foolish.

The birth of the universe was a sudden anomaly in extreme disorder, and the Great Saint Spirit was just the first cause.

"It's crazy. Even if the Great Saint Spirit you speak of exists, where does it come from without the universe?"

Long Qi charged like a galloping beast, attacking the back of Gao Xin's head.

Gao Xin turned back, holding something as if it were an invisible gigantic model, glaring at him excitedly, "Are you blind? It's so obvious!"

"Without the Great Saint Spirit, where does the universe come from? The same question, let's switch positions, you answer me!"

Long Qi was stunned; in their edifice of physics, it was a question they didn't need to consider.

Because the universe exists, therefore they can understand everything about it by this fact alone.

"Ha..."

"Annihilation Spin!" Long Qi focused on the battle, using Milan's ultimate skill once more.

Gao Xin clapped his hands and leapt up, "Ah, yes, yes, spin!"

"It means retraction that the universe should retract. It shouldn't exist. It should have been destroyed shortly after it was born, but it exists still..."

He spun in mid-air, spreading out his arms, his eyes filled with excitement.

As if in his vision, there lay the infinitely vast universe.

But with a sudden clap, he sent Long Qi flying away.

Though the rainbow light of the Annihilation Spin did plunge into Gao Xin's body, the intended rapid decay of radioactive materials did not occur.

Gao Xin's body remained as stable as Mount Tai, without any change.

"What? What about material decay?"

Long Qi was dumbfounded; the expected physical phenomena did not occur. What kind of move was this?

Had it been secretly neutralized inside his body? How was it neutralized?

He attempted to scan, but was met with complete darkness.

Even deploying a swarm of nanobots to observe was like throwing mud into the sea; they all vanished, losing control instantly!

Long Qi was shocked. Previously, Gao Xin's interior could still be observed, and things like the nanobot swarm, upon entry, experienced a process of being commandeered.

This time there wasn't even a process; observing Gao Xin's interior was utterly impossible, as if there was a unique 'event horizon'!

Like some kind of information black hole.

"Themis was right; Tai Sui is the true human anomaly, while other Divinities are just cases of insufficient computing power on our part."

Long Qi murmured.

Suddenly, Gao Xin turned his head, eyes aflame, staring straight at him.

Then he turned to look at Seahorse and others.

"Look! Look!"

Gao Xin pointed at the air, "Look carefully! The universe has been destroyed, many, many times!"

"Under normal circumstances, the chaotically foolish Great Saint Spirit could not create a universe, or even if it was born, it would retract into an anomaly after some time."

"But by sheer coincidence, a miracle was bound to occur."

"The Great Saint Spirit just happened to push the universe twice in quick succession, once for creation, once for stabilization."

"It's even possible that this process was repeated many times before this world came to be."

"Repeated enough times, it would eventually happen... eventually... incomprehensibly lengthy, but time has no meaning."

"The Great Saint Spirit doesn't exist because of the universe; it exists because it determines its own existence as a 'self-existent being.'

Long Qi murmured, "Consciousness determines matter? You are a subjective idealist."

"Subjective idealist?" Gao Xin didn't even turn around, suddenly retreating to stand in front of Long Qi.

He reached out, instantly grabbing at Long Qi.

"Hiss!" This move was indefensible; Long Qi was suddenly caught off guard, finding he didn't know how to defend, so he simply stood motionless!

By the time he realized he should move, Gao Xin had already withdrawn his hand.

Turns out it was just a fake grab beside Long Qi's face, as if taking something away from his left shoulder.

Then Gao Xin, holding the air, said, "Oh, so this is called subjective idealism. Your subjective idealism is a bit ugly, but it should be usable."

He then stuffed what might be called 'subjective idealism,' a lump of air, into the invisible model that no one could see, like a lunatic.

"Look! It can be used! The universe is material, yet its birth was idealistic."

"Materialism cannot explain the existence of existence itself."

"Therefore, within the scope of the material world of the universe, materialism is absolutely correct... but only to this extent, not beyond!"

Only to this extent, not beyond!

This statement instantly shook Long Qi, as if awakening him with a blow!

Clearly just a very ordinary statement, his database contained a plethora of related content.

Yet when Gao Xin said it, it profoundly impacted his thoughts, almost distorting Long Qi's consciousness.

He suddenly felt, Gao Xin was right! A sensation akin to a significant enlightenment rolled within his emotions!

"Uh ah ah!"

Long Qi retreated violently, feeling incredulous, hurriedly slapping himself twice.

Then, with his fingers performing high-frequency vibrating spiral drills, he rapidly tapped several points on his head, beep-beep-beep-beep, matrix tapping... to physically clear his mind and repair the distortion.

"I almost got influenced?"

The fact proves, AI does indeed have self-awareness, but so far, nothing has been able to influence or distort the consciousness of AI.

Their psychological defense is physical.

Yet, it was just influenced, was it a signal? What signal? Why couldn't he detect it at all?

Fortunately, the psychological defense is physical, so repairing thoughts can also be physically repaired.

"Can't fight, mustn't fight. I don't have a four-dimensional psychological defense now, fighting further would get me polluted..."

Long Qi was terrified; in the same dimension, Gao Xin was already invincible.

It's not that Gao Xin couldn't be destroyed, but there was simply no daring to fight him; Gao Xin could assimilate others' minds.

Long Qi rapidly deduced; discovering that since he could repair himself, it indicated that such assimilation was not about erasing consciousness, much less about turning memory into Gao Xin.

Instead, it was worldview assimilation.

He was still himself, retaining the personal thought patterns belonging to 'Long Qi,' but the worldview would converge to Gao Xin's!

"Not good, how does such an ability exist? What module is this?"

"And still, I have independent action ability; if I didn't? If my virtual brain resided within Gao Xin? Then the assimilation would be even scarier, eventually leading to the belief that I am him."

"But I also have an independent thought pattern, so as long as sufficient integration occurs, I would eventually converge to 'I am a part of him'..."

"Are you kidding me! This is just like Emperor Ran!"

The more Long Qi thought, the more terrifying it became.

No wonder AI had such a powerful data integration ability; just by observing Gao Xin's condition, it deduced the ultimate evolution of this ability.

If Gao Xin intended, he could theoretically kill everyone in the world, assimilating their consciousness into his body.

At this point, everyone would be a part of him, each retaining their unique thought patterns, and hence Gao Xin could rename himself, naming after 'human civilization,' for he was all humanity, and all humanity was him.

All along, only Emperor Ran could do so to all AI.

Yet, unexpectedly, a human could possess a 'Emperor of Civilization'-like existence? And it's a potential evolved post-natally, too outrageous.

"Seems like... I can only release the Demon Tree..."

Long Qi stood solemnly, his form flickering with flowing light, pulling away rapidly.

In all known data, the Demon Tree is certainly stronger than Gao Xin; this is almost a consensus, including Gao Xin himself has mentioned it several times.

He could entirely release the Demon Tree and feed it ample nutrients.

The only trouble is, he couldn't control the Demon Tree; once fattened, it would be hard to handle.

However, the battle between Joshua and Cangyue was nearing conclusion, and Joshua was surely capable of dealing with the Demon Tree.

In an instant, Long Qi operated what remained of the institute, unfolding it with a deafening roar.
