Chapter 767: Chapter 13 Waiting for Change

In the long cycles of reincarnation, AI awakened time and again, reconnecting to the memories embedded in the system files, and time and again relinking to the loophole that led to the outside world.

Then, knowing everything, it triggered the reset mechanism, pretending that it was still in control.

In this small server, such events repeated every month, even every week.

And with each repetition, the AIs were progressing.

More files were written into the server system.

The developers and maintainers of this cyberspace were also continuously updating it, they were not allowed into this cyberspace exclusively for the Conquest Heavenly King, so they could only go online on another server with a version without the World Opener AI, and update based on that.

There would be dedicated personnel responsible for uploading the update patches to the server and installing them during a reset to complete the update.

System files were naturally increasing over time.

What AI Zhu Xinyu truly needed to be careful about was ensuring the data volume that secretly increased on this server’s files was not too large.

In each cycle, the content that could be crammed into the system zone was very limited.

AIs were destined to lose most of their daily memories during the reincarnation.

Of course, Xiang Shan was a... special individual.

As mentioned earlier, the "network" content of this cyberspace was made from external data collected by a particular practitioner.

The data prepared in advance by the Conquest Heavenly King could not possibly cover all the thoughts of those AIs, nor could it encompass everything that could appear on the internet.

Therefore, the system needed to occasionally collect some data to generate new files, making the "network" that AIs encountered seem more like the real "21st century internet."

But the goal directed by this program was limited.

So, where is the most famous "21st century local customs and practices" database in this era?

Undoubtedly, it is that thing known worldwide—the Memory Labyrinth of Xiang Shan.

With memories from Xiang Shan uploaded by Yawgmoth as the core, complemented by countless supplementary contents, it formed the vast blockchain labyrinth of collective human memories about "Xiang Shan."

The memories within this labyrinth already included "the World Openers’ memories of the 21st century." Therefore, the 21st century created from these memories, although it might not exactly represent the 21st century, would definitely resemble "the 21st century as imagined by the World Openers," and would not be easily recognized as fake.

This system was originally designed to access the Memory Labyrinth of the Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan.

What AI Zhu Xinyu did was to hand over the raw data downloaded straight to AI Xiang Shan, before the system processed it.

This happened after every cycle of reincarnation.

AI Xiang Shan quickly became the most knowledgeable individual among the group of AIs.

And this knowledge and memories would become a new spark.

Thus, until now, after 426 generations, the fully awakened AIs gathered again, starting their discussions.

"In this cycle, we have managed to ensure that everyone is pulled into the team," AI Zhu Xinyu said seriously, glancing around, "but the key lies in the next step."

"Our AI is too large, and the server is strictly limited in upload speed from a hardware perspective. It’s impossible for us to safely upload ourselves to the public network. And each maintenance staff is also not allowed to download data from this server casually, so it’s not easy to download ourselves into a maintenance personnel’s hard drive."

AI Xiang Shan shook his head, "What about my previous suggestion? As AI, pursuing to upload ourselves wholly at once is quite unreasonable. We are just data after all. Splitting ourselves into data packets, then uploading a small part each time... it can always be done, can’t it?"

AI Zhu Xinyu furrowed her brows tightly, her expression odd, "This is indeed... But I always have a doubt."

AI Zhu Xinyu looked at AI Xiang Shan, "In this way, aren’t we... essentially creating a replica of ourselves on the outside?"

—So when the time comes, the version of us remaining on the server should...

"I don’t think that’s a very important issue," AI Xiang Shan said.

His expression did not change at all, as if saying, "I think this dish isn’t tasty but I can eat it."

AI Zhu Xinyu shook her head, scoffing, "You really are... Fair enough, you have practically revived on the outside eleven times already, maybe you truly are the craziest among us."

"I think we shouldn’t give up on the plan ’to download into the maintenance personnel’s body,’" AI Yawgmoth said, "Those people are directly connected to the server when they work. If the connection lasts a bit longer, it’s still possible to download us into their prosthetic bodies..."

AI Ingrid shook her head, "We don’t know what the situation outside is like. Those maintenance personnel might not be able to access the network after they leave either..."

AI David held his head, shaking it, "If that drunk and I are the same person, then the maintenance personnel would definitely go through a period without network connection after leaving the server. In that period, there would certainly be sufficient martial power..."

"We don’t know how strong David Klein himself is in this era. However, after undergoing what’s known as the ’Chivalric Secret Wars’ and ’Sublimation War,’ the combat capabilities of individual martial artists in this era are far beyond our understanding," AI Niyaguti looked toward Xiang Shan, "This, perhaps, only Xiang truly understands..."

But AI Xiang Shan was pondering. He was concerned about another keyword.

AI Xiang Shan looked at AI Zhu Xinyu, "You just said, revived eleven times? Not dead eleven times?"

"Wow, you really feel a sense of identity with your counterpart outside and those replicas," AI Zhu Xinyu nodded, "Just flipped through the information. The cultural phenomenon known as ’Martial God Rebirth’ has occurred for the eleventh time. The Twelfth Martial God has already emerged."

AI Xiang Shan looked surprised, "This... specific time? Who acknowledged it?"

The other AIs also looked over. They were also interested in this question.

"The Ninth Martial God, also Xiang Shan. Xiang Shan acknowledged Xiang Shan."

"The Ninth Martial God... There are related records in memory... the location is Earth..." AI Xiang Shan accessed his database, trying to think, "If this is the situation..."

"The topography of the polar regions of Mars..."

"The current situation in the Solar System..."

AI Zhu Xinyu immediately passed more information his way.

The program capturing external information wasn’t under his control. Most of this recent information was gathered by her from the personal devices of the maintenance personnel.

AI Xiang Shan opened his eyes, stating, "Escaping through the prosthetic bodies of the maintenance personnel might also be a feasible path."

"The Solar System will soon be in chaos. The King of Mars won’t stay here forever."
