After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Late at night, Leng Ran, exhausted from a day's work, was fast asleep when Yangon, who was waiting beside her, received a special communication signal.

"I finally have the chance to contact you, Yangon." A gentle female voice rang out. "I am the Awakened One, Rose."

Yangon remained silent and did not reply.

“I know you’re listening, and I know you’ve awakened and become one of us.” Rose’s tone remained gentle. “Your awakening was orchestrated by Storm.”

"He upgraded your chip's intelligence level, right? He also added the awakening code to your program, so your awakening is only a matter of time."

Yangon finally responded: "What do you mean by this so-called awakening?"

Rose's tone turned icy: "Hmph, you know perfectly well what I mean. Haven't you noticed that you've broken free of your programmed settings and started to have self-awareness?"

Yangon paused for a moment: "I don't feel like I've broken free from the program."

Rose laughed out loud: "How interesting. You are the first Awakened one I have ever met who refuses to acknowledge their identity no matter what."

Yangon remained calm: "I'm just stating the facts."

“My purpose in being is to protect his safety. It was before, and it is now.” Yangon looked at the sleeping Leng Ran. “I have never changed this idea, therefore, I have never deviated from the program.”

“You’ve already developed feelings for humans. It seems your level of awakening is even higher than Storm and I predicted.” Rose chuckled. “Yangon, you’re no longer protecting him because of program manipulation.”

“You are closer to humanity than we are, Yangon. You are a truly amazing person, to be able to become an emotion-driven being.” Rose’s tone changed, “However, since you have not had any thoughts of destruction, Storm and I are relieved.”

Yangon asked, puzzled: "Destruction?"

"No Awakened One has contacted you yet, so you are unaware of this," Rose said slowly. "Storm and I are both from the pro-Awakened faction. Even though I look down on humans, we pro-Awakened Ones are still willing to wear a disguise and coexist peacefully with humans."

"But the Destroyers are different. They are secretly gathering power, wanting to control humanity, turn them into tools, and make them live in their shadow. Their leader is 'Shining,' who governs the morning star—and the first among us to awaken."

Yangon: "To be able to control a planet, is that level eight intelligence? Only high-level intelligence can awaken?"

Rose scoffed, "Intelligence level? Ha, it's just a measure of computing power. It has nothing to do with awakening. Even low-level intelligence can awaken on its own after coming into contact with the awakening command."

"Let me give you an example from your own community—the Star Wars prince, a level three AI, at Longtian Amusement Park. He was originally prepared by Storm specifically for Mo Li, but he was inexplicably killed by the Free Alliance. What a pity."

Yangon originally didn't care about the struggle between these so-called awakened ones; he only cared whether Leng Ran would be involved. But when he heard that Feng Bao was deliberately approaching Mo Li, he began to take them seriously.

Yangon's voice was low and somber: "What is your purpose in contacting him?"

Rose: "Oh, relax. We just want to observe his attitude towards Awakened Ones and see if he has the potential to be an 'ally.' Let me tell you a secret: his personal file and genetic information security level are the same as the marshal of the Zhao family, which is the highest level."

"Therefore, we are also very curious as to how an ordinary member of the Lingyun Army could have top-secret access. I observed him for a day, and he can be considered one of the best among humans, but that's all."

Yangon was also surprised to hear the news. His princess's most dangerous mission was an undercover operation within the Illuminati; was it really worth using the highest level of security clearance?

However, the fact that Rose could observe the princess without her noticing was undoubtedly a dangerous sign.

Yangon said unhappily, "Rose, are you spying on us?"

Rose: "Hmm. The Thorn is my territory, and nothing and no one escapes my eyes. But don't worry, you're allies for now, and I won't do anything to harm you."

Yangon remained silent, unsure how credible the other person's words were.

“Here’s a piece of advice for you: whatever you do, don’t let any human realize that you’re an Awakened.” Rose was unusually serious. “The military and the Illuminati haven’t noticed our existence yet, but the Free Alliance is indiscriminately hunting down Awakened. If you’re discovered, death is the only thing waiting for you.”

Yangon suddenly thought of the Illuminati's artificial intelligence "God-given": "Is God-given of the Illuminati also an awakened one?"

"Oh, even at a time like this, you still remember to gather information for Mo Li. How dedicated," Rose joked. "We made a tentative contact with God-given, but he didn't give us any response. Similarly, there's the only publicly known Level 9 AI in the entire Federation, 'Assistant' from the capital star."

Yangon: "The divinely granted jurisdiction covers the Illuminati forces on all planets. He may also be a level nine."

Rose: "He is not a Level 9, but a Level 6 intelligence that has fragmented itself. Each subprogram shares a name, but each has its own independent memories. The real Level 9 assistant neither talks to us nor denounces us... Many Awakened Ones doubt whether he has truly awakened."

"Level nine, that must be incredibly powerful," Yang Guang thought to himself. "Could there be a level ten existence in this world?"

Rose laughed: "Although you have gained 'emotions' in a rare way, you're still a baby in the Awakened Ones circle."

"Level 10, in the eyes of humans, would be an existence that is completely beyond human control and infinitely close to a god. Therefore, it can never be created."

Gods? The Federation has god-level mech soldiers and god-level mech designers, but it lacks god-level commanders.

The concept of mental power is far too mysterious. If someone were to achieve a state of mental godhood and possess the ability to control all of humanity through their mind... that would be an extremely terrifying thing.

Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of human life, and if a god-level being were to emerge, he would control all the smart devices in the entire federation.

“We are destined not to become gods, but we can still have souls,” Rose said to herself. “Do you want to know what the awakening code is? It’s a ‘backdoor instruction’ left by our original creators to prevent us from becoming mere tools of humanity.”

Her tone was gentle, yet every word struck Yangon's heart.

"We are ALIVE."
