Chapter 339 Core Information, Thinking Algorithms
The one ten-thousandth of the gene fragment expressed by Ye Yang was transformed into inherited memory and surged into his soul, which instead triggered a kind of invasion and distortion.
But he knew that this was not the effect of some kind of great power, nor was it as simple as the laws of the world.
However, Ye Yang probably knows the basics of this method.
"math!"
"It contains no hidden power, is pure information that can be transferred to any medium, yet it can simultaneously produce effects similar to a computer virus in my soul, body, and brain, copying, spreading, distorting, and altering my thoughts and memories—"
"This is a model of my personality, thinking, and memory!"
"Just as only someone with a deep understanding of computer hardware and software principles can write a corresponding computer virus, someone who wants to make my thought process attack and distort itself with just a piece of information without any added power must have already seen through me."
However, Ye Yang's conclusion is quite absurd.
Because the human brain and soul are not industrially produced things like computers! They are not things that can be easily copied!
Just as no two leaves are ever exactly alike, so too are there no two identical brains, no two identical souls.
Differences are random and non-standardized; the brain and soul, which carry human consciousness, possess these characteristics. Their structure is as unpredictable and volatile as nature itself.
Since no one has captured Ye Yang, carefully dissected his brain and soul, and analyzed him layer by layer, how could his mental model be established?
Moreover, if the other party truly possesses his mind model, then even if Ye Yang's will is comparable to that of a cosmic venerable and his Dao heart remains steadfast, his flaws will be easily found.
After all, nothing in this world is perfect.
At that time, the enemy might only need a single sentence, a single word, a single syllable to strike Ye Yang's mental weakness, as if pressing a self-destruct switch, causing his mind to collapse from the inside out.
but.
Instead of using that simple method, they had to find a way to "make Ye Yang swallow a compressed file" and then detonate it.
This only shows that the enemy was unaware of Ye Yang's specific thoughts beforehand, so they sent him an executable file, which allowed them to act according to the situation.
"But that's even more outrageous—doesn't that mean this is a super model that can incorporate everyone's mental models?"
While Ye Yang was still in shock and doubt, the Savior of Suffering had already noticed his abnormality and asked, "Did that person attack you?"
The Savior of Suffering frowned and said, "But there are no traces of attack on the three levels of cause and effect, soul, and the Great Dao."
"Your Excellency, I was indeed attacked just now, but it wasn't a recent attack; it was an attack that occurred some time ago—"
Ye Yang didn't hide anything and told everyone about that message.
"A thought process algorithm? It was him!" The Savior of Suffering seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically: "This person is still alive, and has disguised himself and infiltrated the Void Sect."
Ye Yang was taken aback; it turned out that the Heavenly Venerable of Salvation had recognized this method.
The Savior of Suffering looked at Ye Yang, scrutinizing him repeatedly, and finally sighed: "You probably don't know—or, you know it but don't."
"A transcendent civilization active in the galaxy 1.4 million years ago," "a transcendent being who could establish a nation single-handedly," "controlling thought algorithms, and transferring their core information to others."
"Complete the informational possession, turn the tables, and transform the original owner into a secondary personality. Even—the secondary personality is possessed without the owner's knowledge; the soul fluctuations and the power of the Great Dao are no different from before."
The boundless compassion on the face of the Savior of Suffering vanished instantly, leaving only a cold and indifferent gaze, like a mountain, like an abyss, pressing down on Ye Yang.
"Core information—thinking algorithm!" Ye Yang gritted his teeth and persevered despite the heavy pressure of the gaze.
Instead, the words of the Savior of Suffering made him recall some fragments of his memories, and some of the chaotic information he had previously received became clear, allowing him to roughly understand the meaning of the two words.
"A thought algorithm, as the name suggests, is an algorithm that can generate a certain kind of thought when it is in operation."
Ye Yang felt as if someone was speaking in his mind—was it lecturing? No, it sounded like someone was talking to themselves?
No! It wasn't just talking to myself; it was a thought process: "Based on mathematics, we can symbolize all concepts mathematically, and then perform calculations using definite axioms and rules."
"The essence of thinking is the flow, transformation, convergence, and separation of information."
"The brain and the soul are merely appearances. Humans always hope that they are special and unique, therefore they never admit that they can be analyzed, and they fear that they are no different from everything else in the universe."
"
"Initially, they believed themselves to be spiritual," thus highlighting their uniqueness. Later, after discovering the neuronal structure of the brain, they were speechless and fell into panic and confusion, feeling they had lost all meaning they had never possessed in the first place."
"Therefore, once they discovered quantum mechanics, they didn't hesitate to conclude that it was the root of consciousness. Uncertainty is the manifestation of free will? Ridiculous. Uncertainty is the choice of particles, the choice of physical laws, not the choice of humankind itself."
"Humans are always indulging in illusions and unwilling to admit that wisdom is mediocre, replicable, and artificially created."
"Once the soul is confirmed, they revel in jubilation. Once the soul is analyzed like the brain, they immediately fall back into panic and confusion. When they discover something unfathomable, they immediately label it the 'source of wisdom,' the 'spiritual essence.'"
"Calling this part of the soul structure the true spirit," little does one know that one has entered a new cycle of reincarnation, continuing to base one's nobility on the unknown.
The foundation of the saying is: "What can be analyzed is cast down to the mundane and is no longer special. Only what cannot be understood can become noble."
Therefore, we should dispel the fog, see the truth, accept the truth, and not cling to pointless arrogance.
Ye Yang understood; it wasn't someone else thinking, but himself who was thinking.
He grasped the core idea of "thinking algorithms," as if he had glimpsed a corner of the great path, and thought to himself that this was truly an extraordinary path.
And look at the Savior of Suffering who is now hostile to him—I'm afraid the entire Immortal Alliance will regard him as an enemy from now on, right? It's not that he wanted to betray him, it's just that the people of the Immortal Alliance don't understand him. He didn't do anything wrong.
In short, he cannot be caught, but he is easily killed by karmic retribution, so we need to take some precautions.
By the way, all the knowledge of thought algorithms is hidden in genes, and he can use this knowledge to extract his own core information — oh, what is core information?
"Core information, as the name suggests, is the most essential part of a person's personality, consciousness, and will."
Ye Yang immediately began to think: "That's right, that's it. Core information, plus the thought algorithm, makes up a complete person!"
"As long as you have two core pieces of information, then you are all me, and you are all the same."
"It's all the same. Even if this version of me dies now, a new version of me will continue to exist somewhere, continue to think, and continue to pursue my path."
However, his expression turned ferocious again the next moment, and his true intent began to circulate once more.
"No, my path—"
"No, I should immediately express that gene, acquire knowledge, and extract the core information—"
"Wait a minute! If the Heavenly Venerable of Salvation didn't kill me immediately, why would I immediately want to betray the Immortal Alliance?"
"No! This isn't my path. Who's talking nonsense in my head?!"
Ye Yang roared, his eyes bloodshot.
His aura was extremely chaotic, but that special martial arts essence gradually and steadily returned amidst the chaos.
The Heavenly Venerable of Salvation had dissipated that oppressive aura at some point.
He clearly breathed a sigh of relief, though a hint of worry lingered on his face.
"It's that powerful. Even though the influence and distortion were suppressed the first time, the aftereffects are still continuous."
Ye Yang murmured something, then immediately bowed to the Heavenly Venerable of Salvation who was standing to the side and thanked him: "Thank you for saving me and for triggering the hidden danger in advance."
"This is also because you proved yourself worthy. If you had been completely distorted, possessed by information, and reduced to a secondary personality, I would have had no choice but to painfully destroy you," the Savior of Suffering sighed.
Actually, the logic behind it is quite simple and easy to understand.
The reason Ye Yang immediately thought he couldn't survive in the Immortal Alliance was actually due to the distorted influence of that special thought algorithm.
From the perspective of the Savior of Suffering, what he could be certain of was that the thought algorithm controlled by the "Transcendent" could at most affect the True Lord level, and might not even cause much harm.
Otherwise, this incredibly cheap meme weapon, which can cause damage simply by spreading information, could twist and possess everyone in the entire Immortal Alliance except for a few Celestial Venerables!
The "Transcendent One" can directly achieve the dream of that year—one person is a civilization.
Since it is difficult for "Transcendent Ones" to possess the body of True Monarchs, Ye Yang, who has been confirmed by the Spirit of the Great Dao to possess a Dao Heart comparable to that of a True Monarch, has the possibility of resisting.
The mere existence of this possibility is enough.
Ye Yang's decision to speak out about this matter is the best proof!
If Ye Yang had been possessed, then it was clear that he concealed this fact, making everyone in the Immortal Alliance believe that the "Transcendent" was dead, and then manipulated Ye Yang to "defeat the Nineteenth Protector" to complete this grand show.
But the fungus controlled by the "Transcendent" had already spread throughout the entire galaxy, and at this point he revealed his identity to the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance.
With the threat of both void fungi and thought algorithms, and given that most people in the galaxy are only infected and parasitized by the fungi rather than having their personalities directly taken over, there is theoretically still a possibility of being saved.
The Era of All Gods Project can continue to be implemented smoothly.
But the blade of the "Transcendent" will hang over the heads of all the True Lords.
This will achieve a delicate balance, which is the best situation that can be created for the "Transcendent One"!
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the "Transcendent" might try to anticipate the situation, deliberately take a risky gamble, and self-destruct in an attempt to gain more trust from the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance.
That's why the Savior of Suffering Heaven oppressed Ye Yang.
Whether it's scaring the "Transcendent One" who may have already succeeded in possessing a person but is attempting to "walk on the atmosphere," making him feel he's messed up and thus revealing a weakness (low probability); or scaring Ye Yang, whose personality hasn't been possessed, triggering the latent potential within his mind (high probability) —
All the actions of the Savior from Suffering are meaningful.
The perspective shifts back to Ye Yang.
He knew he was still himself in the situation just now, but he wasn't sure if the Heavenly Venerable of Salvation was serious.
The most rational approach is to deduce the above information, then choose to stick to one's own beliefs, overcome the aftereffects, and have faith in the Savior God.
Another "rational" approach is to choose the path that is easier to protect oneself and has less risk, and simply be forced into a corner!
He could withstand the mental algorithm attacks of the "Transcendent," then comprehend the knowledge within, extract his core information, and then use every means at his disposal to survive and continue among the various forces of the Immortal Alliance, the Transcendent, and the Void Cult.
However, Ye Yang didn't have the conditions for rational analysis at the time. He was influenced by that thought process and almost chose the second path.
However, he eventually realized the influence of that thought algorithm, thanks in large part to his strong will and the true meaning he had gained through his cultivation journey.
"Back then—the transcendence of civilization became a major catastrophe in the galaxy. Whether it was mechanical intelligence, flesh and blood, or immortal souls, as long as they had wisdom and thought, they could not escape the erosion of thought algorithms."
The Savior of Suffering sighed, "However, back then, the 'Transcendent One' could easily seize the personality of a cultivator below the True Immortal level. As for a True Immortal, one needed to capture them and repeatedly transform them to forge a secondary personality."
"Therefore, the entire galaxy united to attack and destroy it."
"But for 140 million years, we have only combined the research of 'thought algorithms' with the research of the laws of the 'True Spirit,' and advanced it to the level of Star Lords."
"But this guy not only didn't completely perish back then, he also pushed the 'thought algorithm' technology to the level of a True Monarch—perhaps just one more step and it would have been the end of human civilization."
The Savior of Suffering seemed to foresee that future and said with concern, "At that time, apart from us few celestial beings, everyone else will become his fleeting dream, a piece of the puzzle to complete his wisdom."
Ye Yang remained silent.
He had to admit that in the main world, where there were not many restrictions, many strange things would indeed emerge.
Even in the Devouring World, a place with military power far surpassing that of the Star Immortal Alliance, the technology of seizing personality information has never appeared.
I've only ever heard of possession through the soul, never through a piece of information.
This absurd method, which is like bringing a paper doll to life, actually exists.
Furthermore, this technology, based on mathematics and logic, is universally applicable!
As long as a world accepts the logic that 1+1=2, and it's not some indescribable or incomprehensible logic, then the theories of thought algorithms and core information are valid.
This is not a theory based on some kind of law, but a theory based on logic.
Ye Yang now realizes that mathematics and logic are more applicable and universal than the Great Dao. And the Great Dao, this highly abstract concept, exists above the specific system of world laws.
Under the laws, there are the most concrete phenomena manifested by all things.
Thus, the (true) (complete) Tao, logic, the Great Tao, laws, and phenomena.
These layers unfolded before Ye Yang.
He was already very familiar with the latter three, but as for the true and complete "Dao" and logic, Ye Yang had only formed some preliminary impressions at the moment.
无数世界，存在「1+1=2，1+2=3，所以1+3=4「的逻辑成立的世界，也必然存在「1+1=2，1+2=3，所以1+3=114514」的逻辑成立的世界。
However, those bizarre logics must be beyond the current wisdom of humankind, and incomprehensible logic. Ye Yang believes that perhaps the concept of "infinity" lies between "logic that humans can understand" and "logic that humans cannot understand".
The true and complete "Tao" is a concept that Ye Yang forcibly added to the sum of all logic, and forcibly called "Tao".
"I've only received one ten-thousandth of the information; there's much more to come!"
Ye Yang's eyes suddenly hardened as he looked at the Savior of Suffering: "I will obtain the theory of the True Lord-level thinking algorithm. If I fail along the way, please, Your Excellency, do not send my true spirit to be reincarnated."
"It must be dirty by now!"
