chapter-459

“We don’t know who struck first, us or them.” In the movie, Morpheus continued to explain, “But we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time they were dependent on solar power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun. Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.”

“The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTUs of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion, the machines have found all the energy they would ever need. There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born. We are grown.”

From the TV in the scene, everyone saw a large field that seemed to be used for farming, and there were huge octopus-like machines that were growing babies in red containers as if they were growing in wombs.

This was the horrifying and accurate production process of humans by the machines.

This was the truth that the audience had been looking for.

This was the bioenergy that the machines invented.

The movie presented to the audience endless machine fields and mountain-like human growing machines that had intelligence.

These scenes swept over the mind of the audience like surging waves in a tsunami.

The truth was so horrifying!

Some people had remained calm before this scene, but now even the grandmasters with extremely high cultivation strengths looked scared and twisted.

Soon, a group of girls shrieked in fear.

Perhaps nothing in the world was more shocking than these scenes for them.

Fortunately, they watched it on the TV, and they were separated from the scenes by the TV screen.

Despite this, the big white deer still dropped to the ground, covering its eyes with hooves.

Occasionally, it peeked from between its hooves, looking curious and scared at the same time.

“Does it mean…” Tang Yu said in shock, “They put intelligence into the machines that they made, and then they were enslaved by these machines?!”

“The machines created a virtual reality world to enslave humans?” It was like the cultivators giving their spiritual artifacts intelligence, and the latter enslaved the cultivators.

However, these ‘spiritual artifacts’ were much more advanced than their spiritual treasures born with spirituality.

The intelligence that they possessed was so horrifying that they could create a whole virtual reality world.

In other words, the humans used the knowledge named ‘technology’ to create a ‘god’. Even if it wasn’t a god, it was a demi-god.

At this moment, this movie had brought them a totally different sensation.

Some people such as Mo Xian were even worried if they were living in a virtual reality world but were sleeping in high-tech tanks in reality as the people shown in the movie.

Of course, this wasn’t possible.

“What will happen then?!”

The people who had followed the trend to watch the movie and weren’t that interested were now completely enthralled by it!

It wasn’t just novel! It was beyond that!

It ventured into the conversation of humanity and worldviews!

It was just a story? Even if it were just a story, it showed them a perspective that they had never heard or imagined before!

Even if they couldn’t obtain any benefits from this costly movie, they would all continue watching it at this point.

It is superb! Many people exclaimed silently.

It is amazing!

At this moment, most people hadn’t recovered from the shock that the previous scenes gave them.

When the characters came to the real world, the plot began to settle down a bit.

Gradually, some weird ideas started to grow in their minds.

The people in the movie live in a virtual reality world and thought that it is the real world. What about us?!

What about our world?!

These thoughts washed over their minds.

They felt as if their whole worldviews were about to collapse.

“Will we one day find ourselves lying in such things?!” Mo Xian asked fearfully.

Bedlam broke out after she said that.

The people around her began to talk animatedly among themselves.

We have lived many years and take the reincarnations and immortal ascendance as laws of nature that have existed as long as time itself. If one day, all these prove to be lies…

What if our physical bodies are stored at some unknown places while our minds lived in a virtual reality world, just as Neo did.

Only thinking about it sent chills down their spines and scared them.

After all, they didn’t know anything. They were living in the mortal world; no one could say that it was impossible.

At these thoughts, some cultivators felt weak in their legs.

What if they found that they had been living in a dream after cultivating for hundreds of years?

“Master, pinch me so that I will know if I’m dreaming.” Fenghua and Yuexin looked fearful.

“Pooh! If it’s really a dream, it’s no use pinching you!” Su Tianji said morosely.

“How come you turned into humans in the dream while I am a deer! It’s not fair!” A big white deer yelled its complaint. Obviously, its concern seemed to be different from the others.

“Um… This…”

“…”

Mo Xian: “…”

Mr. Fang put his hand on his forehead.

“Stay strong and don’t get swayed by external things!” Gu Tingyun inhaled deeply, even though he had been doubtful for one second as well.

However, as a grandmaster, his mind and fortitude were much stronger than these small and weak cultivators’.

“Let’s continue with the movie!” Nalan Hongwu said, “Obviously, their world is different from ours. Don’t dwell on the impossible, Little Girls.”

“It’s just a movie, right?” Song Qingfeng snapped back to his senses. “I wish that I could one day wake up as Li Xiaoyao.”

After all, the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1 began with a dream.

Despite his casual words, he was still a bit doubtful and spooked out.

“Right!” Su Tianji rolled her eyes at Mr. Fang. “It almost swayed my faith in Dao.”

Mr. Fang didn’t know what to say for a second. “It’s not my fault that you know so little about the world.”

“…”

People instinctively avoided harm and pursued benefits. Although some people might get a horrifying idea at some point, they would discard it as a story if they didn’t want it to be true. Besides, this was only a story, a movie, wasn’t it?”

However, this movie still shocked the viewers so much that they began to doubt the truth of their lives.

As for the young people, they didn’t dare to dwell on this thought.

It was natural to think about the origin of the world and life, but the story depicted in the movie was scary.

Perhaps many people were comforting themselves that it was just a movie.

Although this movie spawned doubt in their minds about life itself, they were still avidly curious to see what would happen next in the story.
