Above The Sky-Chapter 1927: Road to the Stars, Part 2
"In this way, the Perpetual Motion Machine’s ability to analyze the fairness of this vote can also be explained! Because it is the tool of the Star God, it has intelligence but no self, and can solve any question that intelligent life can answer!"
With a sudden realization in his heart, Ian steadied himself and turned his head to look at the brilliance that did not erupt, dazzling and resplendent.
[Infinite Tide]
He asked loudly, so that everyone in the world, regardless of strength or age, humans and magical beasts alike, all living beings heard the Prophet’s inquiry: [Do humans currently have the qualifications to vote for the activation of the Perpetual Motion Machine!]
Without the slightest hesitation.
The white eyes above the firmament flickered, then endless starlight descended upon the world, touching the foreheads of every intelligent life, penetrating the celestial canopy and drifting clouds, passing through mountains and forests.
It was like a rain of light from the heavens, and then the light dissipated, as if everything was an illusion.
Then, an indescribable sound, which can only be described as [calm], echoed in the souls of all living things.
[Terra Starfield, main settlement, Terra Planet verdict... conforms with strict voting rights ratio of consciousness, 4%, voting can commence immediately]
[Mildly disturbed consciousness, 83.55%, has been cured, voting possible in two years]
[Severely abnormal consciousness, 5.239%, in recovery, voting possible in eleven years]
[Absolutely abnormal consciousness, 3.451%, in recovery, voting possible in one hundred and forty-five years. Immediate treatment recommended]
[Extremely distorted consciousness, 1.905%...]
[Non-personality...]
A series of data, detailed and clear, even a monkey could understand the pie charts and statistical lists that appeared in the mind, straightforward without a trace of emotion.
This is the Perpetual Motion Machine. It has intelligence but no self, can distinguish right from wrong, and serves as an absolutely fair tool of the Star Gods.
At this moment, Ian fully understands what the Perpetual Motion Machine actually is—it is the port of the Great Aether Circulation, and this process is similar to the memory of pioneers, where they received Rites of the Star Gods! The Great Aether Circulation grants the Rites of the Star Gods to pioneers based on conditions and naturally judges if the world meets the conditions to obtain and utilize the Perpetual Motion Machine.
And now, the main event arrives.
[So]
Under the gaze of all the leaders, Ian, who summoned the Eternal Tide, continued: [How can we activate you—activate this Perpetual Motion Machine for the benefit of our civilization?]
[Aside from the corresponding authority, namely, Terra Authority, True Dragon Authority, and The Creator Authority, a popular vote is also required]
[Currently, Terra civilization does not possess the authority to conduct ’activation vote’ procedures]
Regarding Ian’s question, Infinite Tide answered quite thoroughly: [The standard count for popular vote requires exceeding the number of intelligent life possessing awareness on the entire planet and an 80% participation rate, but in the Terra Starfield not enough people have complete self-awareness]
[In theory, the voting qualification to activate the Perpetual Motion Machine for Terra Planet · Terra civilization should be revoked, but considering the incomplete nature of this mental brainwashing and the absence of significant aftereffects on affected individuals, the purity of the voting populace can be assured, thus the conclusion is: two years later, once the whole Terra intelligent minds return to normal, the Perpetual Motion Machine activation vote can be initiated]
[Thank you very much]
Ian nodded with a smile, then asked: [So, what does a broad vote signify?]
[Every standard intelligent life on this planet holds a vote, capable of designating an ’initiator’ who will possess the ability to control the Perpetual Motion Machine]
The response from the Perpetual Motion Machine was simple and clear, yet it shocked and astounded all the leaders listening: [This voting rule is established on the civilization model of Terra civilization—an elite leadership political system dominated by strong individuals, where each region will have a candidate serving as a seed player for the vote]
[Based on this, the stronger the individual who gains more public support, the more qualifications they have to control the Perpetual Motion Machine]
[Thank you]
Having said this, Ian was already smiling as he turned his head to look at the earth, repeating: [The activation of the Perpetual Motion Machine requires corresponding authority, free consciousness, and a popular vote]
[Ordinary people who have been brainwashed cannot act as voting entities. Only when over 80% of participants are normal can the voting to activate the Perpetual Motion Machine begin]
[They cannot be brainwashed slaves, nor enchanted madmen; you must have everyone’s sincere support rather than begrudging compliance—as long as there is a place in this world people long for, they will support distant leaders rather than the current rulers]
[And by then, the voters will empower the person who respects them most, subsequently eradicating all insane scoundrels!]
[Do you understand, ’leaders’? An entity stronger than you has established a simple and honest rule—if you still desire that astonishing force that can fulfill infinite dreams, your madness must have limits!]
This is Ian’s true objective.
The reason he expended his power, exposed his hand, and summoned the appearance of the Perpetual Motion Machine was to inform everyone in the whole Terra.
——The infinite power of the Perpetual Motion Machine exists.
——The Perpetual Motion Machine can realize everyone’s dreams.
——The Perpetual Motion Machine can only be activated under conditions, it’s not a simple treasure that can be utilized at will.
——If you wish to realize dreams, then you need to meet the conditions, cannot act at will.
