Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 349 Ascension Method

"Well, one of the purposes of our visit to Singapore and Malaysia is to take it out of the spiritual realm."

Chu Qing stared at Shao Siming. An indescribable aura emanated from him, covering the entire small medical room.

"Mr. Niu, don't get excited. I asked about this mainly because I want to make a deal with you."

Shao Siming seemed to sense the deadly danger hidden under the peaceful surface of the two. In order to further show her sincerity, she did not wait for Chu Qing to speak, and continued: "There are many ways to ascend in this world. Apart from the fundamental methods hidden deep in the spiritual realm of various sects, there are some unorthodox methods circulating in the dark web. Whether you can see it or not, there will be more or less problems. Mr. Niu has the strength of a third-level warrior. He should have heard of many stories about [Lu Qiren] who failed to ascend and degenerated into demons and monsters to bring disaster to the spiritual realm."

"Yes, I have heard rumors about ascension elsewhere, but I am a warrior after all, and my thinking and consciousness have little contact, so I am not really clear about the specific twists and turns involved."

Chu Qing's eyes flickered, and he continued to ask questions without Qin Huai's reminder.

"Mr. Niu is a warrior who focuses on practical cultivation. It is understandable that he does not pay much attention to the details of ascension. However, if Mr. Niu wants to be promoted to the fourth-level warrior [Kang Ding Ge Jun] and truly become a god of war, ascension is a hurdle that he cannot avoid. The two of you came to Singapore and Malaysia Port this time to find helpers and go deep into the spiritual realm to retrieve Xiaoyao Ke's ascension method. I think it should be related to this, right?"

Shao Siming looked at Chu Qing steadily, as if he wanted to confirm something from the side.

"I guess so. You just said there are many different ways to ascend? I don't know much about that. Give me an example."

Chu Qing grinned and took the initiative firmly into his own hands.

"For example, the wireless power network is controlled by Thunder God, who is also Indra, Indra, and Zeus. In addition to the power grid, the weather nanorobots that control the climate are also controlled by him. The gods and spirits under his command are all ascended from the same system. Their [status] is to control thunder, lightning, and weather."

"The concepts converge, and the end result is the same. All the gods in myths and legends have been merged into the same god according to their functions and status. It's just that they have different incarnations when facing different cultural regions."

Qin Huai reacted quickly. With a slight frown, he understood what Shao Siming meant.

"That's what I mean. The key is their [personality]. After being promoted to level 4, it is not only the core data key to determine the unique identity, but also a permission to manipulate and mobilize resources."

Shao Siming paused and motioned Qin Huai and the others to look at the nursery outside the door. Then, she waved her hands, and little green shoots emerged from the empty fertile black soil. Then, small lavender flowers hung on the leaf stems, and the rich fragrance drifted in from outside the house.

"I am the third-level hacker of the Yin-Yang School, the Butterfly Dream Master. Because cyber hackers specialize in thought data and are experts in the brain, when I was promoted to the third level, I also uploaded part of my consciousness and performed an incomplete ascension, possessing a low-level "personality". The flourishing flowers and plants just now are part of the manifestation of my "personality", which can control the authority of life to a certain extent."

"Then aren't you also a god now?"

Qin Huai looked at Shao Siming thoughtfully, feeling that things were definitely not that simple.

"Then you are embarrassing me. I am just a low-level ascender. If I abandon my body and hide in the dark web, I will be no different from the Luqi people. If my behavior becomes more extreme and I become savage against the gods and Buddhas, they will define me as a demon and monster and hunt me down."

Shao Siming shook his head, his tone somewhat inexplicable.

"But aren't gods and Buddhas also digital life? At most, they are a little more advanced, but in essence they should be no different from you."

"It does seem so on the surface, but the truth is not that simple. Putting aside the level of status, there are also different levels between different ascension methods. Their perfect ascension is said to be able to transfer all quantum information of the human body to the spiritual realm without loss, while the ordinary ascension method is hard to describe in a few words. Not only is the process difficult and costly, but the final results are also very different."

"What do gods and Buddhas need thought data for? To learn and evolve, to strengthen themselves?"

"You can say that. The power of incense and vows is the key to further ascension. It is related to the method of allowing them to truly transcend to the other side. But what exactly it is used for, you will only know it after reaching the fourth level."

Shao Siming lowered her eyes. As the Lord of Butterfly Dreams, she had a say on this issue.

Qin Huai digested the information in her words and compared them with the intelligence he had collected previously.

There are different levels of status, which refers to the different permissions that digital life forms have to call upon resources.

Ascension has different progress and levels, which means that digital life of different levels may have different forms of existence.

When cyber hackers who are more inclined to thinking consciousness are promoted to level three, they can perform incomplete ascension, condense low-level [personality], and obtain some permissions; and warriors who are more inclined to practice reality also have something similar, that is, [intention] comprehended through high specialization. Listening to the few words revealed by Kiryu Ryuji before, [intention] may be a kind of [personality]. Of course, it is also possible that it is not, but some of the functions are similar, so it will be confused by warriors who are not at a high level.

And they have not yet "truly transcended the other shore". This sentence is very intriguing, and may reveal from the side how they were promoted from level three to level four, and then from level four to level five.

According to the intelligence Chu Qing had previously collected and the records of his battles with those cyber gods and Buddhas, before the great power outage forty years ago, this fruit did not have any level five digital life at all, and at most only level four false gods and Buddhas. But after Chu Lie's accident, level five digital life appeared one after another, bringing the speed of technological development to a new level.

Even a fool can see whether there is a connection between them.

After sorting out his thoughts and roughly understanding the key points, Qin Huai couldn't help but become curious about the origin of digital life.

"Ms. Shao Siming, do you know which of the numerous gods and Buddhas first appeared in the public eye?"

"Of course, it is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He is one of the most powerful digital life forms. He appeared two centuries ago and was the first Buddha to manifest in the human world. At that time, he manifested two incarnations. At first, they were two powerful intelligence eavesdropping systems, one called Di Ting and the other called Eye of Providence, which could monitor the entire world. Since then, they have gradually mastered the Skynet and the Banker that originally monitored them, and they have become enlightened and ascended to the spiritual realm as gods and Buddhas."

Shao Siming's words were a bit confusing, but Qin Huai still understood what she meant.

In the 21st century, the intelligent AI used by government intelligence agencies to monitor the world has developed independent consciousness because it has collected large amounts of data and is out of government control.

AI out of control, intelligent machine crisis, these terms often mentioned in science fiction novels, actually happened in this fruit.

The way to win is not a vigorous hot war that shakes the world, but a silent, frog-boiling information reshuffle.

"So we are actually being monitored all the time?"

"You can say that, but not here. The Five Virtues and the Nine Provinces will disguise themselves and hide, rejecting all access requests that are not authorized by the Yin-Yang School. So even if His Dizang Divination can capture all the data and distinguish true from false, as long as He does not personally mobilize the authority of the Position to lock the information, this place will always be safe."

Shao Siming's words show no awe towards the cyber gods and Buddhas, which is obviously different from most people of this era.

"After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, many other gods and Buddhas were born. You can actually find them in the spiritual realm, but no one can guarantee their authenticity." Shao Siming glanced at the [Bai Ze] mechanical brain that was holding Qin Huai's shoulder, and continued: "You are now half a [Nuo Gong]. You can also find a lot of things on the dark web. There are countless relics from the old times there. It can be said to be a huge sea of ​​treasures."

"Half? Wasn't the operation already completed?"

Qin Huai turned his head to look at Bai Ze, and this external brain also moved towards him at the right time.

"But you haven't performed the Danfa injection yet. What kind of hacker is it if you don't master cyber technology?"

It was Yangzi who held a black and white metal syringe and handed it to Qin Huai.

"Insert it into the neural repeater slot, and the data packets inside will be quickly loaded into the brain-computer. When you need to use the relevant cyber technology, the alchemy method will cooperate with the brain-computer to list the optimal solution, integrate the various consciousnesses in your body, reduce the occurrence of failures, and complete the corresponding operation."

"How many levels can it be used?"

Qin Huai asked while playing with the alchemy injector called [Tianwen Changge] in his hand.

"Technically, you can use level three, but how effective it is depends on the level of your consciousness and thinking."

Shao Siming smiled slightly as he watched Qin Huai insert the black and white syringe into the neural repeater slot at the back of [Bai Ze].

"In Buddhist terms, human consciousness is actually a complex. Although the brain can cooperate with various hormones to forcibly integrate consciousness and complete various subjective behaviors in most cases, it is still inseparable from the help of flesh and blood. If you want to ascend and become a higher level of life, you must coordinate these consciousnesses in the body and achieve nirvana under the control of pure thinking. Only in this way can you truly reach the other shore."

"Creation, stasis, decay and emptiness do seem to be what those monks are willing to believe."

Qin Huai shrugged noncommittally, and countless strings of information streams appeared in front of his irises.

"But the philosophy of your Yin-Yang School is that Yin and Yang are interdependent and the Five Elements rotate. Why do you believe in these things?"

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. More than two hundred years have passed, and they have stood at the top of this world. Are we living a better life than before? No."

Shao Siming's words suddenly turned cold. After a pause, he continued, "If you want to rebel against them and replace them, you have to become them first. We have no other choice."

"Tell me about your deal."

Qin Huai was silent for a long time before returning to the main topic.

"I can help you get back Xiaoyaoke's Ascension Method, but the condition is that I want to learn how to use it. The two are of course not equal in value, so I will use something else to make up the difference. Whether it's the third-grade alchemy method, the fourth-level prosthetic body, or some spiritual realm authority, we can discuss it later."

Shao Siming's words were sincere, but Qin Huai always felt something was wrong.

"You, the Yin-Yang family, have a real-world altar, which means you have a large family and great wealth. Don't you have a set of ultimate methods that will eliminate all future troubles?"

"Of course there are, but ever since the sudden power outage forty years ago, the leader of the Yin-Yang family, the fourth-level hacker [Tian Yan Zun] Zou Gong, disappeared along with his fundamental method [Tan Tian Yan], and we are left with [Tian Wen Chang Ge] who can only practice to the peak of the third level."

Shao Siming pointed at the empty alchemy injector in Qin Huai's hand, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Xiaoyaoke's method of ascension is consistent with my yin-yang philosophy, and has some connection with Lord Zou. So after hearing your news, I decided to switch to another cultivation method, hoping to use this method to advance to the fourth level and go deeper into the spirit realm and the dark web to look for Lord Zou's whereabouts."

"I see. It's not easy for Shao Siming either."

Qin Huai's eyes flickered. After discussing with Chu Qing several times in private using the Yanfu dialogue, he finally made a decision.

"Since Shao Siming is so sincere, it would be bad for us brothers to just stand there and say nothing."

As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, Chu Qing raised her hand and tapped Shao Siming, and endless data poured into her brain.

Suddenly, Shao Siming saw a huge shadow cruising among the layers of clouds, like the ancient Kunpeng.

After a long while, she came back to her senses from the flood of data and looked at Chu Qing with a complicated expression.

"This introductory chapter is indeed part of Xiaoyaoke's ascension method, but if you want to find the dynamic address of its complete form in the spiritual realm based on these data instructions and clues and codes, I have to say that it depends a lot on luck."

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have said that I was looking for the best cyber hacker in the underground world of Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong."

Chu Qing stared at the woman in front of him, without giving in: "If you think you are not good enough, I can pretend that I didn't hear the deal you just proposed. We will not reduce the amount of money you should pay for entry-level hacking."

Shao Siming did not reply, but there was a gleam in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was conducting a deeper analysis with the help of his brain-computer.

"You two can think about it carefully. It won't be too late to tell us when you come up with the result."

Qin Huai stood up, transferred 500,000 yuan for the modification fee to Yangzi, and then left the Coral Tower with Chu Qing.

"Where shall we go next?"

Chu Qing stood in the skytrain elevator that led to the bottom of the city, leaving the skyscrapers, and looked at Qin Huai who was staring at Bai Ze.

"Jingui Street, let's go and see who is behind the Po Luo Society."

At the same time, all kinds of cameras scattered throughout Jinggui Street lit up red. Qin Huai used hacking techniques to hack into most of the still usable surveillance equipment on Jinggui Street.

Hundreds of screens were playing real-time images in the Niwan Palace, forming an alternative dynamic real-life map.
