Chapter 952 - The Source (2/2)
Lin Liang touched the water inside. Hmm…it’s really different from before. It’s clearer and thicker. He stripped off his pyjamas and hopped in. Do you know what’s purifying the heart? This is it. Seeing the fishes swimming inside, he was mesmerized.
“Elder Lin, Lin Sen will take care of Lele, so I’m not worried. As for A’Xiong, I could only rely on you to take care of him,” Ye Cang said with much gratitude.
“No worries. It’s just a small matter. You guys have fulfilled my wish, I’m grateful for that. Rest assured,” Lin Liang flapped his feathered fan. He is now the vice president of our club. Even I must listen to his orders. Sigh. You really don’t know his reputation is just slightly below President AV.
“Well…Brother Lil’White, is it just me or I feel the fishes are nibbling my private part…” Lin Liang asked as he saw Ye Cang had no reaction at all.
“Nope, I feel it too. But they are helping our d to get rid of dirt… It’s normal and comfortable too.” Ye Cang shrugged his shoulder and Lin Liang tried to feel it. Hmm… it’s quite comfortable. He then looked up at the starry night sky and zoned out.
“Elder Lin, do you know the background of the virtual world?” Ye Cang asked.
“Partially, perhaps? I learnt about it from Lin Sen and through my experience. Actually, the virtual world is just like a digitalized world full of data. It’s that simple. If you treat it as data and consciousness, then it is just data and consciousness; if you treat it as another dimension, then it is just another dimension. No different from the hero spirits. They are the clones produced by mankind’s faith. In actual fact, they had died long ago. Yet, they would not truly ‘die’ as long as there are humans remembering them. The death I’m talking about is just a metaphor. Don’t ever underestimate the power of ‘belief’. It is extremely daunting. There’s one thing I can confirm is that the code or also known as the ‘source’ of the virtual world is from another world. What we don’t know is where this source comes from, what it consists of, what its actual structure is and if we are part of the source.”
“This is also why the federal and the game developers association are just a guardian of the virtual world and they would never be the owner. They are just constantly discovering ways to gain access into the code and the structure to form a new virtual world. However, everything originates from the source itself and it operates according to its own consciousness. We can’t interrupt much. The Holy Battle of Hero Spirits is also branched from the origin code.”
“Then, what about Lin Sen?” It was not the first time Ye Cang was told about the ‘source’ but it was the first time he knew that it was the origin of everything.
“Lin Sen is not the first one who had evil plans on the ‘source’ but he is the only one who discovered and used the error code, resulting from the overuse of it, to create a bomb that can eliminate mankind. It is then known as the virus of the Big Disaster. It can trigger the negative emotions in mankind for self-destruction. After that, his grandchild – Lin Qing, for the sake of justice, had a forceful DNA-modification experiment on his great grandchild – Linlin. However, Linlin lost a few chromosomes and turned into a handicapped. His intelligence and growth are nowhere near an ordinary person. But because of this defect, it indirectly created a rubbish bin for the Big Disaster. Under some circumstances, the virus of the Big Disaster had become his nutrients and was supplied to the Emperor Tree. Just like the one in your body… after that… well, it doesn’t matter. That’s basically it.”
“So, Elder Lin Lan and Linlin are?” Ye Cang knew who Linlin was, the great martial arts saint who was inevitable on earth at the age of ten.
“Linlin is Lin Le’s biological father. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Just enjoy the bath,” Lin Liang smiled. Staring at the glimmering water surface, he thought of Lin Lan. He is my foster son. It’s a pity that I couldn’t make it to the hospital when his mother, Lan Lan died after giving birth to him. After much investigation, I then knew he was Linlin’s child. That fella has gone to the universe so I could only take on the responsibility to raise him. But that child is indeed intelligent even though he was as reckless as his father when he was young.
