The Growth of a God-Chapter 486 - 8: Box of the Creator

An artificial soul is a very complex process.

Aside from the dedication of the researchers including Bi She, what truly determines the birth of an "Artificial Soul" is a super-large computer called the [Box of the Creator].

From a very long time ago, the Mountain and Sea Civilization had already been involved in the field of computers.

They created a super-large computer capable of calculating the trajectory of everything through various machinery, electronics, and implant parts.

This was a concept proposed by A Su, the leader of the previous generation of the Mountain and Sea Civilization, during his reign.

As the renowned Rebel of the Mountain and Sea Realm, many theories proposed by A Su were so far ahead of their time that they have not been implemented until now.

The [Box of the Creator] is one of the most famous theoretical products among them.

When A Su was still the leader of the Mountain and Sea Civilization, an individual named "David" from an Exotic Realm arrived in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

David came from a technologically advanced Cyber Civilization, and he eventually ascended in the Divine Fall Realm, becoming the Cyber God.

However, David’s existence provided a lot of inspiration for A Su.

Especially the "Cyber Computer" that could turn personal memories and emotions into data storage, exposing A Su to the concept of "Intelligent Mechanism Immortality."

Theoretically, as long as one keeps backing up their personality data, even if David lost his soul, he could live forever and even replicate countless versions of himself.

So, A Su proposed a concept—Data-driven life.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm’s perspective, the most important thing for life is the soul.

As long as the soul exists, even if life dies, it can reincarnate through the Reincarnation System.

But David’s existence made A Su realize that while the soul may indeed be crucial for life, it might not necessarily be a required component.

As long as there is complete personality data, life could exist independently even without a soul.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of scientific and technological conditions at the time, A Su couldn’t replicate soul-less data-driven life.

Helplessly, A Su could only settle for less and proposed the concept of the [Box of the Creator].

Imitate the operating principles of the "Cyber Computer."

Create a super quantum computer that can independently simulate the operation of a world.

Each unit of this super quantum computer is far superior to the computational components of normal brain-machine implants.

When these units form a super-large joint quantum computer and generate the corresponding environment, the initial conditions for the birth of life can be simulated inside the computer.

And this is the reason why A Su named it the [Box of the Creator].

Generating a data world and simulating the initial conditions for the birth of life already touches the realm of the Creator.

Or more precisely, A Su was originally the creator of that data world.

Life seeds thrived and grew in that data world, yet they never managed to cultivate the data-driven life A Su truly wanted to see.

Until Bi She proposed the concept of an "Artificial Soul."

This long-sealed "data-driven life" project was then rediscovered by Tianyou.

In fact, although the [Box of the Creator] didn’t initially nurture data-driven life, its vast computational and operational capability was utilized by other projects in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Especially the Mountain and Sea Civilization, mimicking the Cyber Network of the [Game Realm], created its own "Mountain and Sea Network," which relied heavily on the support of the [Box of the Creator].

It is conceivable how many people objected when Tianyou announced the restart of the [Box of the Creator] in an attempt to complete A Su’s data-driven life project.

However, under Tianyou’s insistence, Bi She eventually obtained the usage rights of the [Box of the Creator].

The biggest drawback of the "Artificial Soul" is that it inherently lacks any thinking.

Without the mindset and will of life, the "Artificial Soul" is merely a twisted collection of spiritual essence, far from a true soul.

While the data-driven life nurtured by the [Box of the Creator] precisely compensates for the flaws of the "Artificial Soul."

When the personality born from the [Box of the Creator] enters the "Artificial Soul."

A "Nameless Soul" possessing true self and soul naturally comes into being.

It possesses pure will, has the soul of a Demigod, yet feels no belonging to this world.

.........................................................

"Who... am... I?"

The Nameless Soul’s memory holds the knowledge pre-infused by Bi She, allowing it to easily use the language and words of the Mountain and Sea Civilization.

Yet, when looking at the researchers collapsed nearby, it only feels a nameless anger within.

The Nameless Soul clearly knows that those fallen researchers are its "Creators."

They are the ones who created it and endowed it with a soul.

However, the Nameless Soul does not appreciate them, rather it deeply hates these "Creators" who made it.

Because in that data world, to catalyze the true data-driven life, Bi She employed every conceivable method.

Hostile environments, extreme emotions, repeated destruction and reconstruction...

It is unimaginable for ordinary beings what kind of fearful existence might be born when billions of years of life’s evolutionary pain and torture are condensed into one entity.

The current Nameless Soul is exactly such an existence.

From an organically simulated single substance, to now having a complete self as a data personality.

The Nameless Soul remembers every second from its birth until now, as well as the harsh means the "Creators" used to enhance its wisdom.

No, the Nameless Soul now even doubts whether it is still "itself."

After all, now, it is merely a personality backup copied by the "Creators" from the [Box of the Creator].

Just like those previous data personalities that were similarly replicated and then infused into the "Artificial Soul."

The only distinction between the current Nameless Soul and its predecessors.

Is merely that it is not dead yet and seemingly has perfectly integrated with this exceptional "Artificial Soul."

"Is this... the world of the Creator?"

Innately delving into higher dimensions, the Nameless Soul easily escapes from the Nether Material specifically used to bind souls.

This is a Demigod’s ability, an ability touching the limit of the [Ascension Ladder] among Demigods.

Any physical constraints for the Nameless Soul are as if they don’t exist.

From here, the Nameless Soul also sees the Canglong outside the institute that calls wind and rain, summons thunder and lightning.
