CHAPTER 195 (2/2)
Xie Xi sighed and Jiang Xie spoke, “I will go down to see.”
Little Jiang also said, “I will go with Mr. Jiang.”
Xie Xi shook his head. “We will go together.”
The three people were afraid of unknown dangers on the ground.
Xie Xi told them, “The requirement from the pole is that four SSS-grade people are needed to see the Creator. I think we all have to go down.”
This was true and Jiang Xie didn’t say anything else. They were just watchful and 100,000 points alert to any unknown danger.
After wearing protective clothing, they left the starship and gently stood on this desolate and dead star.
Jiang Xie started the excavation equipment and easily cleared the ruins. They followed the tips on the life detector and found the location of the faint signs of light.
Xie Xi came forward and saw a cold sleeping cabin.
J, a painter who was less exposed to technology, couldn’t help saying, “This is a sleeping cabin?” The style was too old.
Little Jiang was young and asked, “Is this the Creator?”
The three adults couldn’t answer his question.
Was this the Creator?
Could such a Creator save the United States? He couldn’t even protect himself.
Xie Xi ordered, “Take out the ecological cover from the starship.”
The ecological cover could support a short and livable environment on a planet that wasn’t suitable for people to live. It was like a tent carried by travellers when exploring the forest.
Little Jiang replied, “I’ll get it.”
He quickly returned and Xie Xi opened the ecological cover over the area.
The originally breathless and cold enough to freeze everything environment suddenly became a suitable temperature and they were able to breathe.
They took off their protective clothing and approached the cold sleeping cabin.
Jiang Xie examined it and said, “It’s very old. The age is unknown but the operation is normal.”
Xie Xi wondered, “Can you wake him up?”
“Yes.”
Xie Xi sighed. “Wake him up.”
The reason why he opened this ecological cover was because the sleeping cabin couldn’t be carried around.
The age was unknown and the slightest movement might cause irreversible damage. the best way was to restore the ecological environment and explore it on the spot.
Vital signs were detected and although the model of the sleeping cabin was unknown, it was something that the United States could understand. Thus, the ecological cover also protected it.
Thanks to Jiang’s careful operation, the sleeping cabin slowly opened and the cold chill disappeared. Xie Xi saw a very ordinary middle-aged man.
He was around 50 or 60 years old. His hair was slightly balding, his face was sallow, his body was a bit fat, his arms and abdomen were flabby and his legs were short.
Little Jiang frowned. “This… is a person?”
The other two also had furrowed brows. “Why is there such an ill-proportioned body?”
In the United States, there was absolutely no such body. Everyone had a standard body shape and were well-proportioned. There might be tall and short people but they didn’t have a problem with being fat or skinny. They were standard body fat percentages, like it was precisely calculated.
In fact, real humans had been plagued with fatness or skinniness throughout their lives. They worked hard to improve their bodies, constantly hoping they could be more beautiful.
At first, Xie Xi thought that the United States was like this because of highly developed technology that allowed humans to get rid of physical troubles and move towards a more advanced society.
Now… he suspected that the citizens of the United States and the so-called humans were two distinct species.
The middle-aged man woke up from a coma and wasn’t surprised when he saw the person in front of him. Instead, he asked, “981, how long have I been sleeping?”
He was asking Little Jiang. Little Jiang was shocked and glanced at Xie Xi.
Xie Xi came over and said, “It is currently 3010 in the United States. Sir, can I ask who you are?”
The middle-aged man saw Xie Xi and froze. He saw a complex expression of fear and tension before whispering, “Humans… have they self-destructed?”
Jiang Xie replied, “Human civilization still exists but it is facing a huge crisis. The clue we found told us that you can save the United States.”
Jiang Xie spoke these words out of routine. He didn’t feel this person could save the universe that was about to collapse.
This person was too weak and if there was a physical evaluation, this was a body that shouldn’t be born at all.
The man’s eyesight was poor, his eyes had obvious lesions, his nose also had problems with some type of inflammation and his mouth was ridiculously inlaid with a few metal teeth?
The body was even more exaggerated. The cervical vertebra had been deformed and the nerves oppressed. There were problems in the shoulders and he probably had arm pain all year round. The lumbar vertebra was more prominent in two sections and the lungs and internal organs were also in a very serious state. Even the heart had insufficient blood supply.
This physical quality couldn’t even be counted as the lowest F-grade! It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that any citizen of the United States could kill him.
This was the Creator? This was God? It was too ridiculous!
The middle-aged man seemed to calm down. He spoke very slowly and his language was weird, but the four people with a strong SSS-grade mentality could understand.
The higher the level of mental power, the stronger the empathy. Thus, they could understand the meaning the middle-aged man wanted to express.
“Can you tell me something about the present situation?” He paused before saying awkwardly, “Your United States.”
In a calm tone, Xie Xi described the exploration of the universe by the United States, the social form of the United States, the living conditions of the citizens…
The middle-aged man listened with eyes filled with yearning but he soon lowered his gaze and whispered, “It is a beautiful time but unfortunately, it doesn’t belong to humans.”
Little Jiang couldn’t help asking. “We are all humans. Why do you say that this doesn’t belong to humans?”
The middle-aged man glanced at Little Jiang and smiled. “981, sorry…” He apologized. “I don’t know your current name but I want to tell you that you aren’t humans. Human beings have been replaced by you.”
Xie Xi had a hunch that he could hear the truth from the only remaining true human but he still had a sense of trepidation.
In a sense, this middle-aged man was indeed the creator of the United States and the god of all citizens.
It was just that this god was so weak he wasn’t even a match for his most ordinary believer.
Humans created artificial intelligence, created a creature far beyond itself and was finally replaced by it.
Humans disappeared into the long river of history and the artificial intelligence created by them established a real universal empire, fulfilling their unreachable dreams.
Over time, the artificial intelligence forgot their own creators and made their own social system, becoming a real life.
Like humans, they were curious about where they came from, curious about the existence of the Creator and even faithfully worshipping the Creator.
There was no doubt that both theists and atheists believed that God was incomparably powerful.
Actually, the Creator was so ordinary and weak.
The gods high above, the gods who created everything didn’t necessarily dominate everything.
They had even been replaced.
