Chapter 685: Data Collector
Li Yang frowned: "Data upload? What data?"
"All the plant data you collected." The screen displayed, "This is your duty as a collector."
Li Yang and Ella exchanged glances again.
Ella whispered: "Li Yang, what is going on?"
Li Yang took a deep breath: "It seems... we finally found the source of the [system], but..."
He turned to the virtual screen and asked loudly: "Before uploading the data, I have some questions to ask."
The text on the screen changed again:
"Please speak."
Li Yang sorted out his thoughts and said: "You... or, what is this central database? What is its relationship with the [system] I know?"
A long text appeared on the screen:
"The central database is the core of the information collection and processing of the entire multiverse."
"The [system] is just a necessary means to achieve it, and [I] am responsible for managing and guiding collectors like you."
Li Yang frowned, nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask: "So, What is the purpose of collecting this data? "
The answer on the screen made Li Yang and Ella stunned:
"It's simple, it's to maintain the balance and evolution of the multiverse. "
"Every world, every life form, is a part of the huge machine of the universe. "
"We need to continuously collect and update this data to ensure the normal operation of the entire system and make accurate predictions about its development. "
Li Yang was silent for a while, and then asked the last question:
"So... who created this system? What is the significance of predicting the development of the universe? "
The text on the screen flashed for a long time, and finally only a short answer was displayed:
"Unknown, this is beyond the scope of the permission of this database. "
Li Yang and Ella looked at each other, and saw complex emotions in each other's eyes.
They finally found the answer they had been looking for for a long time, but this answer raised more questions.
At this moment, the text appeared on the screen again:
"Time is limited. Do you want to start uploading data?"
Li Yang frowned slightly and asked:
"Have I uploaded the rest of me?"
The text was silent for a moment, and then loaded: "Half and half."
Li Yang asked again: "What if I don't upload it?"
The text answered without hesitation: "This database will send you back to where you came from, that's all."
Li Yang took a deep breath, glanced at Ella, and then nodded slowly:
"Okay, then upload it."
As his voice fell, a powerful energy surged from his body.
All the plant data he collected, all the memories he read from his [heart], turned into a string of complex codes, flowing to that huge network.
Ella looked at all this in surprise and asked softly: "Li Yang... Is it really okay to do this?"
Li Yang stood quietly in place and said:
"Don't worry... This is not the end, but a new beginning."
When all the data was uploaded, the text appeared on the screen again:
"Data upload completed. Mission successfully completed, collector number XJ-7391. You have the following choices:"
"One, return to the original world and continue to perform the collection mission."
"Two, stay in the central database and become one of the managers."
"Three, choose a new world and pursue the truth you are looking for."
Li Yang looked at these options and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, those who used to be him also made different choices here.
Every choice here means a different future, full of infinite possibilities.
But no matter which one he chooses, he knows that this is just another starting point for his long journey.
Li Yang was silent for a long time, his eyes wandering back and forth between the three options.
Then, he took a deep breath and turned to look at Ella beside him.
"What about you? What do you think?" he asked softly.
Ella blinked, a little surprised that Li Yang would ask for her opinion.
She thought for a while and slowly said:
"I think...it depends on what you want."
"If you want to continue exploring and collecting, then returning to the original world might be a good choice..."
"If you are interested in this central database and want to learn more about its operation, becoming an administrator is also a good choice."
"As for the third choice..." She paused, a glimmer of expectation flashed in her eyes, "I don't know, is that what you want?"
Li Yang nodded thoughtfully, his eyes fell on the virtual screen again.
His thoughts drifted back to the past experiences, those adventures in different worlds, those wonderful plants he collected, and those various lives he met.
Then, an idea flashed in his mind.
"I have a question," he said to the screen, "If I choose to become an administrator, can I learn more about this large database?"
"For example... who created it, and the ultimate purpose of predicting the development of the universe?"
The text on the screen flashed, and then the answer appeared:
"Becoming an administrator can obtain a higher level of permissions, but it does not mean that you can know all the information."
"Certain core secrets will remain hidden."
Li Yang sighed softly, seeming a little disappointed. But soon, a determined light blazed in his eyes again.
"In that case..." he said, "then I make my choice."
Ella held her breath, waiting for Li Yang's decision.
Li Yang took a deep breath and said slowly: "I choose...the third option."
"That's the closest way to the truth, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the text on the virtual screen immediately changed:
"Select Confirm."
"Do you want the system to randomly assign a new world to you, or do you have specific requirements?"
Li Yang thought for a moment and then said: "Since I can make requests, I hope that this new world can bring me closer to the being who created this system."
The text on the screen flashed for a moment, then displayed:
"Request logged."
"Searching for matching worlds...Search complete."
"We have found a world that may meet your requirements. Do you want to confirm the transmission?"
Li Yang nodded lightly, turned to the screen and said, "Confirm transmission."
As his words fell, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from the virtual screen, covering Li Yang and Aila.
They felt their bodies becoming lighter and lighter, as if they were blending into the light.
At the moment when the transmission started, Li Yang suddenly remembered something and asked suddenly:
"Wait, can I still keep my abilities? Like [Heart] and those plant abilities?"
Finally, text appeared on the screen as a reply to Li Yang:
"Some capabilities will be retained, but may be subject to change."
"New world, new rules... Good luck, Collector No. XJ-7391."
