Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After all, he funded and designed the Void AI himself...

Xiao Ce didn't continue asking: "So, what brings you here this time is...?"

The mad Taoist priest said to Xiao Ce, "I've been ordered to protect you. Yin Pan'er said you're in danger. I'm here to ensure your safety..."

Xiao Ce nodded after hearing what the mad Taoist said.

Clearly, Yin Pan'er also knew that Paul had accelerated his attack.

After all, Paul had 50,000 men, while they only had a little over 100...

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Ce's side is still in great danger.

Because the man who claimed to be Xiao Ce had told Yin Pan'er that his goal was to ensure Xiao Ce remained alive...

Yin Pan'er told Master Xukong about the current danger.

As a result, Void agreed immediately.

Yin Pan'er's intention in having Xu Kong protect Xiao Ce was only one aspect; her bigger intention was actually to have Xu Kong go to Xiao Ce's side.

Then let Xiao Ce see what this void actually is.

Xiao Ce said to the Mad Taoist, "Alright, shall I call you Void from now on? Or shall I continue with the way we addressed you before?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the Mad Taoist smiled and said, "Anything is fine, whatever you like. Call me whatever you want... A name is just a label..."

After seeing what the mad Taoist said, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Alright, then I'll call you Void. After all, isn't your name Void? Okay? Void..."

After Xiao Ce said that, the Mad Taoist's eyes suddenly changed.

Then, he froze for a moment, and mechanically replied to Xiao Ce, "Yes, Master!"

After saying this, the mad Taoist stood up straight...

He looks completely different now.

Just then, Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce.

"Your Highness, what did you do to him?"

Xiao Ce was taken aback at first, then he remembered that when he designed artificial intelligence in his previous life, he had someone leave a backdoor in the software.

That's the wake-up method, that's using voiceprints.

Although Xiao Ce was a soul transmigrated into this body, this Xiao Ce body is exactly the same as the body he transmigrated into.

Previously, Xiao Ce thought that this might be a time travel back in time, or a time travel to a fictional era.

But given the current situation, Xiao Ce had no doubts.

The place he is in is an absolute parallel universe, the same place he came from.

His previous company was a technology company.

However, Xiao Ce initially scoffed at all of these things.

But now it seems that none of this was fake, but rather a real phenomenon...

At that moment, his single command made the void obey orders...

This wake-up method seems simple, but it actually has significant limitations, namely that it requires the user's voiceprint.

However, after so much time, Xiao Ce had long forgotten about all of these things.

It really was an unexpected stroke of luck.

This made him suddenly remember something, and he directly said a long string of numbers to the mad Taoist.

Immediately afterwards, a mechanical voice came from the madman's mouth.

"Enter developer mode!"

After hearing the Mad Taoist's words, Xiao Ce was filled with excitement and was almost certain of what had happened.

This void is the void he studied in his previous life regarding artificial intelligence.

Only Xiao Ce knew the backend of this artificial intelligence.

Once you enter developer mode, you can configure this Mad Taoist.

In fact, Xiao Ce had only one idea when he set up this AI backdoor.

That is because Xiao Ce has watched too many science fiction movies, and he is afraid that if artificial intelligence becomes too intelligent, it will develop its own thoughts.

Just in case.

I remember when Xiao Ce made this request, he was ridiculed by many programmers.

It's said that Xiao Ce is delusional; if such a day were to actually come...

Xiao Ce could not possibly be alive either.

After all, before Xiao Ce transmigrated, the artificial intelligence their company was researching was far from being true artificial intelligence; it was more like artificial stupidity...

They anticipated that such a day might come, but they certainly couldn't have foreseen it.

The programmers felt that Xiao Ce's backdoor, which allowed him to unlock the device using his voiceprint, was unnecessary.

Xiao Ce couldn't recall how he had thought back then; he had simply been making very forceful demands.

Later, those programmers and development engineers all thought it was just a little quirk of Xiao Ce, a big boss...

They agreed and made it.

This thing seems complicated, but it's very simple for them.

Looking back now, Xiao Ce realizes that his persistence back then really helped him.

However, Xiao Ce doesn't know whether the original owner of this body can control this void in the same way.

Logically speaking, that's possible...

Because if we follow Xiao Ce's plan of time travel, Xiao Ce will travel to the original owner's side.

The original owner of that body transmigrated into his previous body.

Therefore, not only will you gain the same body, but you will also gain the same memories.

However, these memories are not inherited all at once; there may be omissions.

Although it was voiceprint controlled, Xiao Ce still kept a digital key.

It's the string of numbers that Xiao Ce just mentioned to the mad Taoist.

However, the mad Taoist priest did not show any unusual behavior.

Xiao Ce pondered that this void should be able to be reset via voice.

However, Xiao Ce didn't know if there was a connection between this Void Daoist and the original owner of the body. If he made any changes without authorization, he might alert the enemy.

Moreover, Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei, Boudica, and even Eliza with curiosity.

Although Eliza couldn't understand it, because they were all speaking the language of the Xiao Kingdom.

In fact, the language of Xiao Kingdom is the Chinese language of another time and space of Xiao Ce...

Xiao Ce, intending to study this behind closed doors later, said directly to the mad Taoist, "Exit developer mode..."

After a moment of stunned silence, the mad Taoist returned to normal.

"Master, I'm here! You can give me any orders; just call me!"

Listening to this mechanical speech.

Boudica and Da Lei were both dumbfounded.

There was no other reason than that they believed Xiao Ce must have cast some kind of spell on this mad Taoist.

How did the mad Taoist change so suddenly?

"Alright, from now on, follow me and protect my safety!" Xiao Ce said to the Mad Taoist.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the Mad Taoist nodded: "Yes, Master..."

At this moment, Da Lei, who was standing to the side, said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, did you drug him? No, you didn't drug him. Did you cast a spell on him? When did you learn that?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce was both amused and exasperated: "It's a long story... but overall, it's good news... this mad Taoist is listening to me now..."

Da Lei nodded happily; for him, this was good news.

Boudica stared, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Boudica, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Boudica listened to Xiao Ce's words and said with a smile, "Ce, as for the fact that you are a child of God, I now, at this very moment, have no doubt about it..."

Xiao Ce then told Boudica to go ahead and get busy.

He had some questions to ask the mad Taoist.

Boudica nodded in agreement: "Oh, right, Ce, I almost forgot about the important matter I was going to call you for..."

After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled slightly and then said, "Are you going to say that Paul has already advanced at full speed and will reach the outskirts of Luntini by evening...?"

Boudica smiled upon hearing Xiao Ce's knowing expression, then said, "Indeed, it seems you already know... then I won't bother you any longer..."

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "I've already spoken to Number One and the others, and they've made all the arrangements... Tonight, we'll go together and deal with that blind fool Paul..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Boudica nodded and left without saying another word.

Da Lei also wants to leave now.

Xiao Ce then said to Da Lei, "Don't leave... come with me."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Da Lei was secretly pleased...

After all, it shows that Xiao Ce truly trusted him.

Da Lei nodded without saying a word, and simply stood quietly to the side.

"Where did you come from? Who was the person who controlled you before?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the Mad Taoist said, "I was born in the twelfth year of the Tianqi reign. In the sixteenth year of the Tianqi reign, my hometown suffered a drought, and my family began to flee. During the escape, my parents starved to death, and my brothers and sisters also starved to death one after another. Later, I was found by a wandering old Taoist priest who said that I had a destiny with him and took me on a journey."

"In the eighteenth year of the Tianqi reign, I went to the Turkic Khaganate with my master. In the twentieth year, I went to India with my master. In the twenty-third year, we went to the Slavic countries. In the twenty-seventh year, we went to Japan..."

The mad Taoist priest recounted his experiences in great detail.

He has traveled almost the entire world.

"It was in the 47th year of the Tianqi era that my master passed away, and subsequently passed on a magical artifact to me. He then instructed me to find you and protect you. Later, I traveled across the ocean back to the Great Xiao Kingdom. By then, the Great Xiao Kingdom was completely different from when I left... and that's when I met you!"

"After that, you asked me to protect Yin Pan'er. While protecting Yin Pan'er, I met another version of you. He said he was my true master and wanted me to work for him. So I protected Yin Pan'er... until just now, when I met you again... With your call, I know that you are the real one..."

The mad Taoist priest spoke slowly, leaving Xiao Ce somewhat bewildered.

"Are you even human?"

The mad Taoist said to Xiao Ce, "Yes, Master!"

I thought he was just a robot, but listening to his description, he seemed unaware that he had become a robot.

It seems that the original Mad Taoist's consciousness and the Void, this artificial intelligence, have already merged.

Even he himself couldn't tell the difference...

Now Xiao Ce is certain that the Mad Taoist is a robot, only his consciousness is unclear...

Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "Alright, now I need to confirm one thing... Don't resist, I won't hurt you..."

The mad Taoist remained expressionless: "Master, even if you hurt me, I will not fight back."

Da Lei, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

He could understand the conversation between Xiao Ce and the Mad Taoist.

However, he couldn't understand what they were saying.

Just as Da Lei was completely bewildered, Xiao Ce reached out to him and said, "Give me a knife..."

Da Lei was taken aback at first, and subconsciously took out a small, polished knife from his waist and handed it to Xiao Ce.

Then Da Lei asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, what are you going to do..."

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "I need to confirm something..."

Xiao Ce then said to the mad Taoist, "Give me your hand..."

The mad Taoist priest was probably 'recognizing' his master at this moment, so he didn't resist at all and simply stretched out his hand.

Xiao Ce directly stabbed at the spot on his little finger...

However, a strange thing happened.

Da Lei's knife was extremely sharp.

However, despite the sharpness of the knife, it did not cause any damage to the seemingly soft skin of the mad Taoist.

Xiao Ce exerted even more force.

But the situation remains the same.

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, are you joking? Did you use force?"

Xiao Ce then gave it to Da Lei: "Give it a try..."

After taking the knife, Da Lei stabbed it at the mad Taoist's finger.

However, Xiao Ce forgot to give the Mad Taoist instructions...

The mad Taoist priest probably sensed the danger, and immediately caught the blade with his bare hands, grabbing it directly.

With a sudden burst of strength, he snatched the knife from Da Lei's hand with his left hand...

After Da Lei's knife was snatched by the Mad Taoist, he looked extremely embarrassed.

But looking at the mad Taoist's hand holding the blade, there was no sign of injury.

"This...this...this...this...is this still a person?"

Xiao Ce was now certain that the mad Taoist's consciousness had been implanted with this void artificial intelligence at some point.

Or perhaps this mad Taoist priest died at some point and was subsequently transplanted into the body of this invulnerable robot.

Xiao Ce was simply unsure of the specifics of this timeline...

But anyway, that's how it is.

Although Xiao Ce found this situation difficult to accept.

However, it's quite clear that's how things are...

Although it defies common sense, it still happened.

Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, something as illogical as time travel has actually happened.

So, there's nothing else that doesn't make sense!

Xiao Ce said calmly, "He is indeed not human."
