Chapter 1364: Chapter 1226: Cyber Cultivation Method?

“Did you say ‘Sun God’?

Are you sure?!” Lincoln exclaimed in shock at the highly cybernetically modified doctor in front of him.

The doctor’s face was filled with lifelike wrinkles.

His classic but well-maintained cyber eyes opened and closed in rapid succession with slight clicking sounds.

“Don’t yell, you’re making my ears hurt.”

“That’s the Sun God, the Sun God of cultivation!” Lincoln couldn’t calm himself.

“It’s just a name…” The old man shook his head indifferently.

“You don’t still believe in those myths and legends, do you?”

“Myths and legends?” Lincoln was stunned.

Cut the crap!

In the first chapter of “Chang’an,” he had seen a Sword Immortal split the entire sky in two with a single sword.

In the third chapter of “Chang’an,” he rode his sister’s horse through the burning divine capital and used Silver Fire to burn the Demon God to death, cleansing the Earth Veins!

How could that possibly be fake?!

Not to mention, someone had already analyzed this in the forums before—

The reason why the Buddha of Ultimate Goodness had been sown with the seeds of corruption even before hatching lies in two key factors.

First, human hearts are unpredictable, and the depths of human nature are a tangle of good and evil.

How could manually selected data cover everything?

And the second key factor is the dark force that appeared in “Dark Soul” before.

Because of the [Corporate Wars], the global deaths have accumulated too much negative energy, and it has been awakened once again.

This irrational force polluted the Earth Veins the last time, and now it has polluted the Internet.

A deep web full of polluted data has taken root beneath the surface of the Internet, contaminating more and more data like a cold and ruthless hunter, weaving a vast net.

Its target is the most powerful entity in this city—[City Management System CA-01].

Many cybernetic augmenters became cyber neurotics because they rashly came into contact with the deep web and had their minds corrupted by the data.

But these aren’t the focus—at least not for Lincoln, who chose a different story line.

In his view, the most important thing is:

This proves that “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” has not become an independent chapter, it still continues the same lineage as the previous chapters of “Chang’an”!

Only because of the vast time span, this connection has become somewhat faint.

With that being the case—

If the evil force of “Dark Soul” can be resurrected again, why can’t the “cultivators” who are the counterforce to power be passed down?!

They must be!

Lincoln was super excited.

He had aimed for the fleeting Flying Sword in the game’s trailer as soon as it launched.

To get the Flying Sword as quickly as possible, he even chose to start as a [Company Employee].

This identity did indeed offer the easiest access to the [Fly Instrument Master] profession—other starting positions couldn’t even afford the expensive equipment costs of a [Fly Instrument Master].

But when Lincoln eagerly practiced controlling it, thinking he would soon be using the Flying Sword, reality hit him hard—

The [Fly Instrument Master] profession was too difficult to play!

Without using an array, he could only control two units at the same time.

Any more, and he could only gather them together and attack, which, although strong, was really not cool.

Moreover, to play with the fancy Flying Sword, this level of operation was completely insufficient.

Before he could multitask, watching the drone’s vision while controlling the Flying Sword to kill enemies outside his field of view, the Flying Sword was no more useful than a top-level Sniper Rifle that helped with aiming.

Lincoln didn’t think it was a problem with him, so it had to be with the professional system!

So—

He still had to cultivate!

Lincoln saw hope and, without considering that he had to lead the older sisters in a fitness dance tomorrow morning, he decided not to log off immediately.

Transforming into a hardcore player, he fervently pushed through this quest line, all to get the “cyber cultivation method” from the Sun God Chip!

But the storyline that followed was extremely difficult, with combat intensity off the charts.

Lincoln died over and over again without success, forcing him to shake people up in the game group chat.

The hardcore players with high training levels in the group came to help one after another.

And the boss was worthy of being the boss.

Far surpassing Lincoln in combat power, they even managed to live stream the battle to the group friends while fighting.

At two o’clock in the morning, they finally succeeded in destroying the Scavenger’s base and snatched back that critical microchip.

—And incidentally, they found out that the ever-elusive [Idealist] organization was involved in this as well.

It was their planning that allowed this microchip to be taken from the [Tianyuan Technology] laboratory.

And their goal was to prevent the founder of [Tianyuan Technology] from completing a critical plan.

As for what this plan was, Wu Di and his friends soon found out—

[Sun God Chip]: A key plot item that can act as a vessel for carrying consciousness, used in conjunction with corresponding technology to upload and store human consciousness.

——

“Ah?”

“Mission item?”

“Not readable?”

“Where’s my cyber cultivation technique??!”

Wu Di stared at the System Introduction, dumbfounded on the spot.

Hardcore players who had come to help and live-streamer community who stayed up late to watch the scenery unfold immediately burst into laughter:

“Hahaha, cyber ascent is still ascension, after all!”

“So the boss of Tian Yuan Technology wants to ascend digitally, and then the [Idealists] organization just had to sabotage his grand plan?”

“Sun God, isn’t that name fitting?

Freeing oneself from the physical body, existing forever, and traversing thousands of miles in an instant, how is that not being a Sun God?”

“I admit you have a point, but at best, this would be, what, a Shadow God?”

“By your logic, are you implying that digital life can’t enjoy the sunshine?”

“???

Is now really the time to quibble over this?

Tell me, do you think Lincoln, having come up with hibernation technology, might have actually developed this chip as well?”

…

The moment this was said, the previously lively group chat suddenly quietened down.

But soon, it became even more heated:

“Now that you mention it, that’s very possible!

Just think of the previous mechs!”

“I don’t think it’s realistic, hibernation at least has some basis, digital life…

it’s too far-fetched.”

“Far-fetched?

Ha!

Who do you think we are talking about here?

I can only say, those who know, know; and I can’t explain it in detail to those who don’t…”

“I think it’s very likely!

So…

immortality?”

“This technology…

if it really exists, will it become part of social security?”

“Cyber ascent and social security…

those two terms together are just too damn incompatible!”

…

Wu Di didn’t join the discussion, thanked the bosses for their support, and logged off, full of disappointment.

But the discussions didn’t end there; they were shared by Group Friends online and debated with Netizens.

This added more waves to the already bubbling Internet that was stirred up by the hibernation technology.

However, compared to the hibernation technology that had been confirmed, there were far fewer Netizens who believed in [Digital Life].

Most Netizens believed that [Digital Life] was a classic element of science fiction and its presence in a game was normal, so there was no need to overthink it.

If Lincoln had really achieved this technology, he would not have involved it in the game.

*

This idea was somewhat reasonable.

Lincoln did indeed start off by being secretive and cautious.

So why this time, has he not only not stopped the Development Team but has also flamboyantly added a lot of drama?

The answer is simple—

Because there was no longer so much to worry about.

Ever since the establishment of Cloud Dream, the balance of power among the World Three-class had changed.

On the surface, it might still look the same, with Daxia perhaps slightly ahead economically, but beneath the surface, the power balance between nations had widened greatly.

The former World Three-class is now a case of one superpower and two strong powers.

With its technology, weapons, combat techniques, and military personnel stepping into a new era, Daxia had secured an absolute advantage in actual combat power, and the gap would only grow bigger with time.

—Daxia now had the confidence to overturn the Table.

When one has enough strength, there’s naturally no need to be so cautious anymore.
