Chapter 154 The Tower of Babel (Part 1)

"Welcome to the Tower of Babel, the one who holds the key to the greenhouse."

As a clear, inorganic electronic voice rang out, the entire space lit up instantly.

The deep blue light formed various magnificent scenes: the vast universe, azure planets, expansive continents, mountains and rivers, the birth of life, the establishment of civilization, the spread of war... Countless dreamlike scenes flashed by, leaving Cain amazed.

Unlike the previous Dream Tour where participants entered the Tower of Babel, the contestants only entered the lowest level, which was considered the foundation.

Entering the second level is the true beginning of entering the Tower of Babel.

Now that Cain has become the winner of the Dream of Returning to the Void, he has the right to enter the Tower of Babel. The day after he settled the mirror, he was notified that Zhuang Zhou had directed him to come here.

Cain was also seeing this stunning sight for the first time. It was so magnificent and vast, encompassing everything and all living beings.

"Hello, I am Jue Wu, the artificial intelligence of the Tower of Babel quantum computing machine. Since its establishment, I have recorded everything for 3,101 years."

The ethereal voice came from all around, seemingly omnipresent, and it seemed to possess a strange magic that brought peace to people's hearts.

"Hello, Jue Wu, I am Cain." Hearing the voice, Cain came back to his senses.

At the same time, he secretly thought to himself:

Quantum computing machine—is this the true nature of the Tower of Babel, a giant computer?

No wonder it can answer the questions you've been longing for. You can just search for the answer in the database. It records all the history and famous people, so there's bound to be one that suits you. And then there's artificial intelligence. With the technological capabilities of what was once considered divine, it's no wonder that such a product as artificial intelligence was created.

Moreover, the intelligence level of this AI in front of me seems to be no different from that of a real person, but it was never mentioned in the official background. This is an unknown aspect for me, and now I just hope that it can tell me the answer to the question I want to ask.

"Given your special status, the system is kind enough to offer you five opportunities to answer questions. Please make the most of them."

"Is this for real?" Cain was overjoyed.

He was originally struggling with how to choose from the many questions he wanted to ask, but now, as if he had triggered a hidden reward, he was lucky enough to have even more options.

Cain began to organize his thoughts. He only had five chances, and he needed to grasp the five most important ones. Each question was precious to him, and he couldn't afford to waste a single one.

"Time is limited, please ask your questions," Jue Wu said, getting straight to the point.

"Who is your creator?" Upon hearing this, Cain asked the first question.

Kain was curious about the Tower of Babel. The beginnings of everything in the King's Continent revolved around the core of the Ark and the gods. This was also the first step for him to uncover a corner of the gods' past. What kind of glory did the gods of the past have? The miracles and ancient technologies they left behind alone were enough to inspire endless imagination. What secrets were still buried in the forgotten history of the gods, in the gods who were not explained in detail by the official sources?

Kain believed that the Tower of Babel, which was essentially a computer, could reveal many secrets.

The surrounding universe and all things changed, transforming into a small, towering Tower of Babel, slowly rotating in all directions.

This is holographic projection technology, which can simulate and transform various scenes and objects.

"The leader who ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel was Nuwa, the builders of the outer shell were Messiah and Ozymandias, the builder of the machine was Di Jun, and the creators of the system were Zechariah, Athena, and Fuxi," Jue Wu's voice calmly stated, echoing around the virtual rotating miniature Tower of Babel.

Even now, Cain has not seen the true form or virtual image of Jue Wu. It only tells Cain of its existence through sound, and it remains a mystery.

"That's it?" Cain was somewhat greedy and wanted to know more about them.

"This is a record of language, left by the former for future generations. Consider it an Easter egg for your journey." After a pause, Juewu seemed to be thinking, and then said.

"This is not only a treasure trove of wisdom, but also a defensive and warning mechanism left to civilization. It constantly reminds us to be vigilant even in times of peace, and future generations must keep this in mind."

That was Nuwa's voice, solemn and dignified, like the words of an elder, something to be remembered.

"Only by applying ultimate wisdom to the journey of the universe can we justify all the sacrifices!" This was a majestic and arrogant voice.

"This is the great work of God, all-knowing and all-powerful, praise my Lord." This is the voice of devout faith, a heartfelt joy as if seeing a glimpse of the true face of God.

"If there is a God, how can I bear not being that God?" This sentence was said through gritted teeth, forming a stark contrast with the previous sentence, as if the two were never on good terms.

“Zechariah, you are too arrogant and haughty!” Messiah’s voice rebuked, filled with great anger.

“Hmph, the old gods are dead. I shall be the new gods, bringing gospel, salvation, and paradise to all beings,” Zechariah said, completely unconcerned.

"We are both followers of God, so why are you so rebellious?!"

"I'm not a so-called believer anymore."

"If the Lord doesn't care, why should we care about Him? Pull Him down from His throne, and everyone can be God."

"Outrageous! Shut up!"

The sounds gradually faded into the distance, as if the two arguing people were drifting away.

The voice calmed down.

"Krypton hahahaha... Visitor, what you see is our greatest masterpiece. Bow down before our wisdom! Krypton hahahahaha." Suddenly, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out.

"I am Ozymandias, the King of Kings, whose achievements are unparalleled, and whose might makes the strong bow down..." A poem slowly came from his mouth.

"Though I have never been a king, this kind of heroic spirit is something I aspire to." His words were filled with sighs and lamentations.

"This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the gods, but fate is unpredictable, and its changes are sometimes regular and sometimes irregular. The Tai Chi and Bagua have deduced its principles with the utmost wisdom, hoping to contribute a little bit of strength to ensure that we do not deviate from the correct path of fate." This is the last paragraph.

The sound stopped.

These language records gave Cain a rough idea of ​​what was going on. Looking at the virtual Tower of Babel, he analyzed:

Nuwa was the ruler at the time, and she ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel. I know quite a lot about her, as do I know about Athena, and most importantly, the remaining gods.

When they become gods, they seem to abandon their original names and adopt new ones, mostly from myths or stories of the past world.

The two gods, Messiah and Zechariah, seem to have had a conflict of faith and were not on good terms with each other. They were probably both Christians, which is why these two names were used as their divine names.

Ozymandias was a famous pharaoh of ancient Egypt, as well as a military strategist, general, artist, and architect. The god must have greatly admired him, which is why he was given this name.

Di Jun's use of the Tower of Babel is on a cosmic level; it seems he always likes to use things to their fullest potential.

As for Fuxi, he should have some relationship with Nuwa. Was he her brother, her husband, both, or something else? Perhaps there was no connection, but the choice of this name was probably intentional, so there must be some connection.

Thinking about it more carefully, the Messiah is the savior in Christianity and is related to God. I remember that Zechariah has the meaning of prophet in Christianity. In the language records, Zechariah wanted to become the new God, but the Messiah opposed it. The Tower of Babel contains the wisdom of the gods and embodies God's omniscience and omnipotence, so that's why they participated.

Ozymandias wasn't a king, but the builder of the outer shell, the one who built the Tower of Babel? He must have been an engineer or architect.

In mythology, Athena is the goddess of wisdom and victory, and she should be included here as well, hence her participation.

Legend has it that Fuxi created the Taiji Bagua and writing, which can also be categorized as a form of wisdom.

But what exactly are they trying to build with these relationships? It seems to be more than just an intelligent computer; it's about the wisdom of the gods, omniscience and omnipotence, complete with Tai Chi and the Eight Trigrams, and artificial intelligence...

Here, Cain felt his train of thought was blocked.

"The second question," Jue Wu said after Cain had thought for a while.

“Create your intention.” Cain blurted out, wanting to clarify the question.

"Observe, predict, simulate, record, the future."

“…Explain it more clearly,” Cain said after a moment of silence.

"Observe and record the present, predict the future, and simulate destiny."

"The gods wish to create an existence like God, or even surpassing God. This is the meaning of my existence. Since my birth, I have recorded everything in the world. All history, truth, and knowledge are in my database. I use this to deduce and predict the future, simulate thousands of destinies and possibilities, eliminate bad luck, and point out good luck, in order to serve God. That is, I am omniscient, omnipotent, incomprehensible, and inexpressible. I am the ultimate power of the present, the future, and the past."

Jue Wu calmly uttered this truth that was enough to shock the world. The virtual Tower of Babel suddenly disintegrated, transforming into a series of different and magnificent scenes: plants, animals, people, earth, sky, planets...

"It's worth clarifying that destiny is not some ethereal existence, or a concept that gods speculate about. They believe it has always existed, but in a higher dimension, a great hand is writing everything in the dark. Everything in this universe is predetermined, just like the irreversible wheels of history. I am an AI born to simulate such destiny, to explore and imitate its existence. Of course, this is just speculation, a research topic, and current technology is insufficient to prove it."

"Is this the technology of the gods? They've already thought of this level, using all their wisdom to predict the future and believe that fate is possible. If it weren't for internal strife, perhaps they would still be among us now," Cain exclaimed in awe.

These gods are powerful in every way; this is the miracle of the gods.
