Chapter 204 Human Brain Computer Array

"Thank you for your hospitality this time, Taoist priest."

After an unknown amount of time, all the fantasy scenes around disappeared, and they returned to the original hall, revealing the figures of three people.

"It's just a lie in the dream, so why should I thank you so much." The old Taoist priest shook his head, and then continued, "I already know the purpose of the two Taoist friends' visit this time, but unfortunately..."

The old Taoist priest was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid that the old Taoist priest can't go to Yunjing this time."

"Taoist priest, this trip to Yunjing is related to the people of the world..." Xu Yue frowned when he heard this, and continued to persuade.

"I'm really sorry, two little friends, it's not that the old Taoist priest doesn't want to go, but that he can't go." The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly.

"Hmm?" Xu Yue frowned slightly and looked at the other party.

Could it be that the other party's cultivation of immortality went wrong, and now he seems very powerful, but in fact, his body in reality can't move easily?

"Well, since the Taoist priest has no ability, we won't bother you anymore." Xu Yue thought about it and found that forcing was useless, so he could only say helplessly.

"I'm really sorry, my two friends." The old Taoist priest bowed his hands to express his apology, "But our Taoist sect has spies everywhere in the world. I will let them know. If you need it, I can provide you with some help at any time."

"Thank you very much." Xu Yue nodded.

This is also one of the gains, and this trip is not in vain.

Soon, the two of them were polite and then said goodbye.

The old Taoist priest had a kind smile on his face, waved his sleeves, and said loudly: "After this farewell, the mountains are high and the waters are long. I hope we will meet again if we are destined."

The next moment, Xu Yue felt dizzy and everything in front of him disappeared. When he came to his senses again, he found that he and Lin Chen were standing at the foot of the mountain. The people around them came and went, which seemed very lively.

Seeing this, Xu Yue was stunned for a long time before he sighed: "It turns out that we have never been to the mountain from beginning to end."

"But this method of entering dreams is really terrifying. The old Taoist priest can actually build such a huge and almost real world by himself!" Xu Yue sighed.

"Do you really think he built it alone?" At this time, Lin Chen, who had been silent just now, said lightly beside him.

"Huh?" Xu Yue was stunned after hearing this.

"The other party did not enter the dream when we entered the hall on Zhongxuan Mountain, but entered the dream directly at the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid it's not because the other party wants to show us his military power, but because he doesn't want us to see the real things behind it." Lin Chen turned around and looked up at Zhongxuan Mountain.

"Brother Lin, what do you mean by this?" Xu Yue was a little puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, he seems to be trying to create a [real dream] that can replace the real world."

"But to build a virtual world that is almost real, it requires terrifying computing power - you can simply understand it as brain power."

Lin Chen raised his hand and pointed to his brain.

"Your taste, touch, vision, hearing, etc., if you want to simulate the real appearance in the dream, you need a terrifying amount of data, otherwise you can't deceive your brain. In short, you need enough information."

"But a mortal brain can't do this at all. Even if it has evolved or mutated after practicing the inner alchemy method, it is too difficult to build an illusory world, so the Taoist sect directly adopted another approach."

"What approach?"

Lin Chen did not answer for a moment, but looked at Zhongxuan Mountain with an inexplicable expression.

Although Xu Yue practiced that single method, he followed the way of Gangqi. His soul was his weak spot, so he could not see the dream, nor the reality behind it.

But Lin Chen is different. With a soul at the foundation-building stage and the exploration of spiritual perception, he can naturally see the true face of Zhongxuan Mountain at a glance!

"Since you want to know, then take a look." Lin Chen waved his hand, and the scene in front of Xu Yue suddenly changed.

After he saw it clearly, his whole body froze, and an incredible and somewhat horrified look appeared on his face.

Because in his current vision, the scene of Zhongxuan Mountain is completely inconsistent with the reality!

In the dream, Zhongxuan Mountain looks very deserted and empty.

But in reality, the Taoist temples built everywhere in Zhongxuan Mountain are very crowded, and there are densely packed people in every hall.

Those people are wearing cloth clothes and their faces are withered and yellow. A closer look shows that they are obviously refugees.

However, these people are not standing or moving, but lying on the ground, falling directly into sleep.

What made Xu Yue's face change greatly was that behind their heads, there were actually bloody flesh threads connected. These flesh threads spread and connected to the head of a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, whose head was four or five times larger than that of an ordinary person.

The Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and with a huge head had a flesh-red tube behind his head that was larger than that of others. It extended from the Taoist temple and finally connected to the hall where they had just stayed!

But in the hall, it was not the old Taoist priest who had just communicated with them, but a brain soaked in a jar, as big as an incense burner, with countless nerves and blood vessels on it!

This is the brain in the jar!

"This, this..." This scene was enough to subvert his common sense, and Xu Yue couldn't help but take a step back, and Lin Chen's voice came from beside him.

"A virtual world that is almost real. No mortal brain can accomplish this feat, so they came up with this extraordinary idea, which is to connect brains and construct the so-called [human brain array computer]!"

"With the [human brain array computer], they collect information and data collected by different brains in the consciousness of things, and thus construct a [real dream] that is almost the same as the real world!"

"This, this... This is simply evil!" Xu Yue finally recovered from the shock, and anger appeared on his face.

Although Xu Yue did not think he was a good person, he could not accept such an act that harmed thousands of people at one time and was very likely to cause chaos in the world!

His body was full of energy, and he wanted to force his way into Zhongxuan Mountain to stop the behavior inside, but was pulled by Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin, what do you mean..."

"They are voluntary."

"What, what?!" Xu Yue's furious face suddenly froze, and he looked at Lin Chen with wide eyes.

"Just now on the mountain, I asked them through some means, and they are all willing." Lin Chen said lightly.

"But this... why?!"

"Why?" Lin Chen said expressionlessly, "In reality, these refugees are separated from their wives and children, and their families are broken up. Even if they are lucky enough to live a good life, they will be oppressed by corrupt officials."

"But in dreams? They can enjoy a good life and live a happy life without worrying about someone persecuting them."

"A lifetime of pain, numbness, and hopelessness in reality, and a beautiful, happy, and hopeful dream on the other hand. If it were you, what would you choose?"

"But this is all fake..." Xu Yue answered somewhat at a loss.

"Fake? Do you think you can detect the fakeness in the dream just now?" Lin Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this. "Besides, for most people in this world, as long as they live a peaceful and happy life, it doesn't matter to them whether this world is fake or not."

"But won't they die in this way?"

"You said that as if they won't die in reality." Lin Chen glanced at him with a strange look on his face, and said, "Besides, for most people, which one is better, dying happily in a dream or dying lonely and numb in reality? I'm sure you know it too."

In fact, people in dreams will also disappear.

As time goes by, the nerves behind the brain are connected for too long, and the individual consciousness will be completely erased, and the brain tissue will suffer irreversible and destructive damage. The remaining brain nerve cells seem to be still active, but in fact they are just providing computing power for this huge [Human Brain Array Computer].

But so what, mortals have to die, and dying happily in a dream is better than facing despair in reality.

A few people choose the latter, but most people will choose the former.

"Let's go." Lin Chen didn't say anything more, but turned and left.

Xu Yue was silent for a while, and didn't force his way in, but followed Lin Chen.

After all, it was the choice of the majority, and he was not qualified to make decisions for others in the name of justice.

Lin Chen didn't care about the complicated expression on Xu Yue's face behind him, but was thinking in his heart.

The concept of [human brain array computer] had already come to him a long time ago.

But after thinking for a long time, he still didn't try it.

The reason is very simple. For Lin Chen, this thing has far more disadvantages than advantages.

Once countless people's brains are connected to his brain, he will definitely have to bear an extremely terrifying impact of computing power.

Even if Lin Chen came over and constructed a virtual world, it would not be of much use, and he would be trapped in one place due to various factors, just like the old Taoist priest's current situation.

At that time, if some powerful person calculated the location of his main brain and projected a spell or magical power from a distance, he would be in big trouble.

So Lin Chen would never use himself to make this so-called [human brain array computer].

'But although I can't make a [human brain array computer], the soul computer made by the body god in my body has the same effect as it. '

'The old Taoist priest can use this to construct a virtual world, and I can do it too...'

'Although my current computing power is not as good as the sum of the brains of tens of thousands of people on Zhongxuan Mountain, as I continue to grow stronger, one day, I can use my body god computer to build a virtual world that can be moved at any time...'

'And...'

As if he thought of something, the light in Lin Chen's pupils became deeper and deeper.

The world composed of information and data is virtual, but what if we add the variable of spiritual energy?

You know, spiritual energy can be affected by various factors and transformed into all things.

If he can thoroughly study the nature of spiritual energy, construct a virtual world, and then combine the two, can he build a real little world that belongs to him?

At this time, some knowledge from novels in his previous life emerged in Lin Chen's mind.

'[Fudi] - [Dongtian] - [World], through the nature of spiritual energy, and the virtual world composed of data and information, take a path that belongs to the Creator, can this be considered...'

‘In this world, besides refining Qi and building foundation pills, this spiritual Qi cultivation path, is there another path to heaven? ’
