Chapter 607 Hope Extinguished, Formal Declaration of War
"Don't lie!"
"The Apostle of Earth revives differently than us. We've been unable to confirm its location, but now we have!" The dragon roared, its voice filled with excitement, "Human, where is the Apostle of Earth? Tell me!"
Li Tianran's brow furrowed.
The intelligence, insight, and deductive abilities of these Ancient Biological Kings were too buggy. He had only asked a simple question about memory separation, and they had instantly deduced the series of problems that had occurred with Han Han!
These ancient creatures surpassed even the first evolvers in terms of strength, and their mental capacity was far superior as well.
Li Tianran took a deep breath. When he had raised this question, he had already considered that he wouldn't be able to hide it from these Ancient Kings.
Because if they possessed this technology and could help Han Han separate her memories, then Li Tianran would definitely have to tell them everything about her. Even if Li Tianran wanted to hide it, he wouldn't be able to!
Since they had already seen through it, there was no need to continue to conceal anything.
"Do you have this technology?" Li Tianran didn't answer the dragon's question. Instead, he continued to ask, his expression solemn.
"You simply don't understand. Memories need to be supported by the mind. They cannot be cut apart into two individuals!" The azure dragon responded indifferently, "Memories without the support of the mind are like clouds drifting in the sky, easily scattered by a gentle breeze!"
"Memories cannot become independent entities!"
"It's like two lines of text written on a piece of paper. The paper is the mind, the carrier of memory! And the text is memory and experience."
"Without the support of the paper, the text cannot exist."
"Without the support of the mind, memories cannot exist."
"You cannot divide a piece of paper into two completely identical pieces without damaging it, and have the two lines of text exist separately on those two pieces of paper."
"When the paper is torn, it will be damaged."
"And once the mind is torn apart, that mind will dissipate! Die!"
Li Tianran listened to the dragon's words, his hands clenching tighter and tighter.
What the Ancient King said was somewhat complex, but in simple terms, it meant two words...
Impossible!
"Of course, if you can find a new mind carrier for that part of your relative's memory, then you might be able to perform a kind of 'pseudo-separation'!" The dragon added.
"What is pseudo-separation?" Li Tianran raised his eyebrows, feeling his heart pounding, and asked.
"Find a living human, use the intellectual brain's ability to erase all the memories in her brain, and then reach an agreement with the Apostle of Earth to have her inject your relative's memory into this living human's brain, and then modify some details."
"In this way, the human who possesses your relative's memory will believe that she is the owner of this memory, and that she is your relative."
"This can also be considered a kind of pseudo-separation, a pseudo-rebirth!"
"Memory is text, and the mind whose memory has been erased is the paper."
"You cannot completely separate a piece of paper with two lines of text on it without losing anything, but you can find a new piece of paper."
The dragon looked at Li Tianran and said very calmly, "She would have your relative's perfect memory, just in a different body, and would also think of you as a relative! Such an individual should be able to meet your needs!"
Listening to the dragon's words, not only Li Tianran, but even the pioneers were shocked.
This method seemed feasible at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was simply a concept swap!
What is most important in kinship?
It's the precious memories you've experienced together! This isn't one-sided, it's mutual!
If Li Tianran looked at a completely unfamiliar face, even if he imagined her to be his sister, even if she had all of his sister's memories, he wouldn't be able to convince himself!
This would be deceiving himself!
"This method is very good." Li Tianran nodded expressionlessly, then looked directly at the dragon, "I think we can find a new carrier in your clan, and use this method to separate the Apostle of Earth's memory from my sister's body and mind!"
As soon as Li Tianran said this, the dragon's expression turned gloomy.
"That's impossible. The mind that the Apostle of Earth and your relative's memory are currently sharing is not just a carrier. It also has the authority to control the triangular tower and the 'guards,' which is an extremely important force for our civilization." The dragon immediately rejected Li Tianran's proposal: "What we need is not a living being with only the memory of the Apostle of Earth! But a king who possesses both memory and authority!"
"So, even if we really use this method, the only memories that will be removed from this mind will be those of your relative, definitely not those of the Apostle of Earth!"
The dragon's attitude was very firm.
Li Tianran closed his eyes.
The Ancient King couldn't see his emotions, nor did it know what he was thinking at this moment, but the pioneers in the control room felt an extremely suppressed aura spreading.
"For a long life, kinship, friendship, and companionship are all useless things… Only eternal life and power are worth pursuing the most." The dragon said, "We have all personally witnessed the demise of relatives and clans. If you are willing to become the seventh apostle and experience countless years with us and become immortal, when you look back, you will realize how naive and ridiculous you are now."
"Apart from yourself, no one is irreplaceable."
The dragon's voice and words revealed an extreme disregard for life.
At this moment, Li Tianran finally understood why the eyes of those stone statues always carried disdain for life. Because these life forms that had survived for countless years had long lost their emphasis on emotion. Even for their followers, they simply regarded them as tools to maintain their rule.
Ancient Kings are the most indifferent and cruel beings.
Do I want to become such an existence?
Li Tianran asked himself softly.
Then.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
"I lived with my sister for seven years. I raised her from a baby who couldn't walk to the clever little girl she is now. I gave her her name, and her memories were created with me."
"And now, suddenly an old man jumps out and wants to take over her body without saying a word, and make her memories get out of this body."
"At the same time, there are five old guys who are advising me to abandon her, to abandon my only relative, to abandon the little girl I raised with my own hands."
"And they're still talking about eternal life and power."
"To that, I just want to say…"
Li Tianran raised his head, looked at the five Ancient Kings, and said, word by word, "Go fuck your mothers!"
"In my capacity as a representative of the Allied Forces, I declare war on the Ancient Civilization!"
"From now on, I will do everything in my power to kill all Ancient Civilization creatures and destroy all Ancient Civilization buildings!"
"I will not compromise, and I will not stop fighting!"
"I will personally complete the second evolution and erase the Apostle of Earth's memory from my relative's mind!"
"I will allow my relative to fully control her mind."
"I will allow my relative to replace the Apostle of Earth, to control the authority in her mind, and become the new King!"
The hostility between Li Tianran's brows had reached its peak. He was expressionless as he looked at the five Ancient Kings and the large number of subordinate sequence creatures below, and fiercely pressed the launch button for the Valley of Death!
"I will… destroy you!"
