The heavens began from a small hell

The road to the basement was spotless, either because this place was special or because Zhan Lan had cleaned it using telekinesis.

Lin Yang, who was following behind Chu Jing, soon saw Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan and others.

Everyone was standing in front of a pile of debris, among which was a rather dirty special device, which was the target of the Zhongzhou team's trip, the 'shade device'.

No one, including the senior ones, touched this pile of junk, and it was the only dusty place in the basement.

After saying hello, Lin Yang also joined the crowd of onlookers.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang Jie and Ming Yanwei arrived one after another.

It was not until this moment that Chu Xuan took out a liquid Terminator robot and asked the robot to pick up the sunshade from the pile of debris.

"Put it on."

Chu Xuan said.

The Terminator robot, who was dressed in a black suit and resembled Schwarzenegger, put the visor on his face as ordered.

Nothing happened, and the voice of the Lord God did not sound.

After dozens of seconds, Chu Xuan took the sunshade from the Terminator robot and pressed the button in his pocket.

Noisy!
In a flash of lightning, the Terminator robot was scrapped by Chu Xuan on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Lan also used telekinesis to crush the Terminator's body, turning it into molecular-sized particles.

The two were obviously afraid that this Terminator robot would rebel silently and give the Zhongzhou team a severe blow.

A year after returning to the EVA world, Chu Xuan asked a few people to read the official EVA novel "AMIMA". They learned that the shading device can brainwash and distort a person's personality by instilling massive amounts of memories.

A person's character is derived from his or her own experiences and memories. Instilling in a person a thousand, ten thousand or even more times the amount of specific memories that he or she has accumulated throughout his or her lifetime will naturally shape a new personality as expected.

Although the probability of the robot being affected is close to zero, Chu Xuan and Zhan Lan obviously would not take the risk.

"It seems that only if one of us puts on the sunshade in person can the side quest be triggered."

Chu Xuan said and looked at everyone.

Luo Gandao and his companions were naturally confused, as they had never read the official novel "AMIMA".

Ming Yanwei was more hesitant and did not dare to conclude that she could maintain her original self-awareness under the memories instilled by the shutter.

This kind of rewriting and distortion of personality does not count as possession, the soul is the original soul...which means that even if resurrected by the Lord God, the personality will still be affected.

"Give me."

Zhan Lan spoke.

Seeing that Chu Xuan really wanted to hand the sunshade to Zhan Lan, Lin Yang raised his hand to block Zhan Lan and said, "Forget it, Captain. I'll do it."

The intermediate fourth-order gene lock that has overcome the inner demons makes the mental will theoretically indestructible and immune to most mental abilities.

But the problem is that Zhan Lan is not a normal fourth-level intermediate.

The way she overcame her inner demons... was obviously extremely abnormal.

It would be interesting if his personality was distorted, as resurrection would be useless.

"……it is good."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhan Lan nodded.

Although she was not worried about this, Lin Yang's worry was written all over his face, so she didn't force it.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan naturally handed the sunshade to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang took the sunshade and looked around a few times, and used material analysis by the way.

After a while, when the material analysis gave feedback, Lin Yang, who did not detect anything unusual in the 'shade material', put the shader on his face.

In an instant——

Countless memories flooded into Lin Yang's mind.

It's about the 'Human Instrumentality Project'.

Human beings are fragile both physically and mentally.

Therefore, it is very easy to be hurt. Between people, the spiritual world is isolated from each other. In order to make human beings evolve to a higher realm, the human mind must be freed from the shackles of the body and return to the birthplace of human beings, the "Lilith Egg". Only in this way can the spiritual barriers between people be finally removed, so that different spiritual worlds can complement each other and move towards the end of evolution -

Become an immortal 'God'.

This is the "Human Instrumentality Project" in the EVA plot.

but--

There is more than just this that comes into Lin Yang’s mind at this moment.

……

The third New Tokyo City.

A beautifully built single-family house in the courtyard.

A young couple was sitting on the steps playing video games. One could tell how tense the situation was inside the game from the way they were pressing the buttons.

Just at this moment, the man suddenly raised his head and looked at the distant horizon.

That is the direction of the island of Cyprus.

Seeing that the game on the game console failed, Asuka shouted angrily:

"Hey! Shinji, what are you daydreaming about? He's dead! He's dead!"

"Uh...sorry."

Shinji Ikari scratched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "I just suddenly remembered some things from the past, so I was a little distracted."

"Be serious!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, if you have a baby in the future, what are you going to name it? Shinji, have you decided yet?"

"Kaoru."

"Kaoru? A girl's name?"

"Both boys and girls can be named this."

"Is the boy also called Xun? No~ that's too weird!"

……

Cyprus, in the basement of a church.

Lin Yang is being bombarded with countless memories and information, and is gradually coming to understand the deeper, more multiverse-based 'Human Instrumentality Project'.

"…Level 5 is not enough. Although it can modify the laws of the universe, master dimensions, and distort the cause and effect of time and space, its power covers the entire multiverse and even… the endogenous multiverse, and its size is equivalent to the entire multiverse."

"…But it's still not enough."

"…only those who surpass saints, immortals, high-level saints, celestial immortals, innate saints, golden immortals, emperor-level saints, venerable-level cultivators, and the fifth-order ultimate. "

"...Only the sixth stage can truly transcend. "

There was no fluctuation in this sentence, like a person's self-talk, and it was deeply imprinted in Lin Yang's mind and soul. It was also the core part of the countless memories and information instilled by the shutter.

The ultimate goal of the "Human Instrumentality Project" is to create such a transcendent being.

This is the 'True Human Completion Project'.

With their own wisdom, will and opportunities, human beings can grow step by step from weak ants to the ultimate of the "endogenous multiverse".

Why can’t we go one step further and achieve transcendence?
Even if it means paying an unimaginable price, or even... that one is no longer oneself, but 'transcendence' is 'transcendence'.

It is the true sixth level, beyond imagination, beyond everything, beyond the multiverse.

It's normal to pay a price to reach this point.

There has never been any real free lunch in the multiverse. Everything that seems to be gained without any effort is actually destined to cost something.

The 'True Human Instrumentality Project' involves such gains and... sacrifices. (End of this chapter)
