I awakened to be a menace at the start of the game, and my parents sent me to the cherry blossom vie

Chapter 391 Ancient Creatures Originating from Earth?

"You...you killed me...even my mother...would not...give in..."

Noah, pinned against the glass by Lin Fan, managed to squeeze out a few words. His eyes showed fear, but even more so, the stubbornness of a fanatic.

"Is that so?" A cold glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, and he suddenly increased the force in his hand.

Just then, as if he had made up his mind, Noah roared hoarsely:

"It's no use! You can't kill us! You simply can't kill us!"

Lin Fan paused.

Our consciousness... is connected to "Mother"...

Even if you destroy this body...

Our consciousness will also return to 'Mother'...and then...be reborn!

Ok?

Can one be reborn?

Lin Fan's grip on Noah's throat tightened.

The black scales on his arms receded slowly like a tide, revealing his original skin.

The suffocating malice dissipated as a result.

He released his grip, and Noah slid to the ground like a lump of mud, coughing violently.

Lin Fan stopped looking at him and instead touched his chin with great interest. The dangerous expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by an intense interest, as if he had discovered a new toy.

"Can't be killed?"

"Can one be reborn?"

As he spoke, he squatted down, like a kind and approachable older brother next door, and patted Noah on the shoulder, who was still coughing.

"Oh dear, you should have said so earlier! You made me so nervous."

"Come on, brother, stand up. The ground is cold."

He looked at the bewildered Noah with a smile and said enthusiastically.

"Now, can we have a proper talk?"

Could you explain this matter of "immortality" and "rebirth" to me in detail?

Ok?

This time, it was Noah's turn to be dumbfounded.

He looked at the man in front of him with a wary expression, whose face changed faster than turning the pages of a book, completely unable to understand the other party's intentions.

One second he was shouting and threatening to kill, looking like a ferocious demon who wanted to grind him to dust.

The next second they turned into "good brothers" who were calling each other brothers and asking about each other's well-being?

The style changed so quickly!

"Come on, don't be so formal."

Without saying a word, Lin Fan pulled Noah up from the ground and even "thoughtfully" patted the dust off his body.

"Come on, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly."

He put one arm around Noah's shoulder and beckoned to Helen with the other.

"What are you all standing there for? Let's go together!"

They looked so familiar with each other that anyone who didn't know them would think they were long-lost brothers.

At this moment, Helen's eyes were also filled with confusion.

Based on his understanding of Lin Fan, the other party shouldn't be such an easy person to talk to.

But now, she's finding it a little hard to keep up with the other person's train of thought.

Soon, the three arrived at the conference room next to the laboratory.

Lin Fan sat down in the main seat with an air of nonchalance, crossed his legs, pointed to the seat opposite him, and said to Noah, who was still looking wary:

"Please sit down, don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Noah's lips twitched.

This is our territory, you know!

But he dared not speak and could only sit down as instructed.

At this moment, he also realized that the young man in front of him was someone who could not be judged by common sense.

"Alright, we can begin now!"

Lin Fan rubbed his hands together, his face full of curiosity.

"Let me think, where should we begin?"

Hmm... let's start with you 'immortals'.

To be honest, I'm very interested in your immortality.

I want to know, how do you guys manage to stay immortal?

Is it like in a game, where you reload a save and revive?

Or will you simply reassemble your physical body and be resurrected?

"..."

Is this even human?

What living being in the world can reassemble and solidify into a physical body after death?

Noah was somewhat bewildered by Lin Fan's barrage of questions. Or rather, he didn't know how to answer them.

After all, their immortality is only spiritual immortality.

To put it simply,

Lin Fan rephrased his question, "If I cut off your head, would you still be alive?"

This is a very direct and bloody issue.

Noah rolled his eyes at the thought.

Are you kidding me? What kind of creature in this world can be resurrected after having its head cut off?

If such beings exist, they can only be the legendary gods!

He didn't quite understand the meaning behind Lin Fan's question, but after thinking for a moment, he replied:

"The destruction of the physical body is meaningless to us."

"The consciousness of each of our 'newborns' is already connected to the 'mother's' consciousness network. When a physical unit is destroyed, our personal consciousness will once again be transmitted to the mother, awaiting the next arrival."

"Your mother isn't some giant storage device, is she??"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Storage device?"

Noah paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Based on the knowledge I have, there is nothing wrong with how you humans understand it."

"However, Mother's power far exceeds what you call a storage device. You can think of Mother as a super server."

"server?

Okay, let's put that question aside for now. Let me ask you, what form do you take after death and before rebirth?

Fearing the other person might not understand, Lin Fan added, "It's like what we humans call a ghost state. Do you sense the existence of the surrounding world, or other things?"

"this……"

Lin Fan's question immediately stumped Noah.

He understood what Lin Fan meant, but...

What was it like for him to upload his consciousness after he died?

Ghosts have no idea what that feeling is like!

At this moment, not only Lin Fan, but even Noah himself became curious.

Yes.

What does it feel like after we die and all our consciousness has been uploaded?

"What? Can't I say?"

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Lin Fan couldn't help but ask.

"no."

Noah shook his head, then gave an answer that puzzled everyone present.

"Each time we die, after uploading our consciousness, it seems we're in a blurry, foggy space..."

"no--"

Hearing this answer, Lin Fan was speechless. "Don't you know your own situation? Can you give me a more accurate answer?"

"For example, what did you see or feel? Were there any trees or tombstones there...?"

His last sentence completely exposed his true intentions.

Of course, Noah might not have understood the meaning of his words.

"I have no idea."

Under his pressure, Noah finally shook his head.

"I don't know what it's like after death."

I have no memory of what happens after death; we only retain memories of our individual selves and our basic personality, but all our emotions and desires serve the collective.

We are independent, yet united.

We are perfect individuals, and we are a perfect collective.

If you only hear the above paragraph, you might not think there's anything wrong with it.

But when the person telling you this story sits in front of you, like a programmed robot, and says these words, you will feel incredibly horrified.

At this moment, Lin Fan, sitting opposite him, felt exactly the same way.

"Bullshit perfection."

"Can something that cannot perfectly express or control its emotions, its individual consciousness, or even vent its feelings, still be considered a living being?"

"Let alone people, even cats and dogs have their own emotions..."

Lin Fan shouted loudly at Noah opposite him.

At this moment, looking at Noah across from him, he no longer had any intention of killing him.

He felt that these people, or some kind of sentient being, were extremely pitiful.

Ultimately, they are nothing more than a group of brainwashed consciousnesses.

However, if these creatures are truly unkillable as Noah claims, you'll definitely be a problem.

Moreover, according to Noah, he also analyzed that even destroying the sapling might not end everything.

Think about it.

Lin Fan seized the opportunity to ask:

"And where did your mothers come from?"

"What is its relationship with the Black Forest? Are they competitors? Or mortal enemies?"

When the origin of his "mother" was mentioned, Noah's eyes became devout and fervent once again.

Our "mother" did not come from this world.

But it was born on this planet.

Its mission is to establish order and harmony amidst desolation and chaos.

"As for the Black Forest..."

At the mention of the Black Forest, a flicker of disgust crossed Noah's eyes.

"That was a loser controlled by evil forces, a chaotic aggregate that only knew how to devour and destroy."

It and its mother represent light and darkness, order and chaos—two completely different paths of evolution.

Lin Fan listened quietly, but his heart was filled with even greater turmoil.

Extraterrestrial life?

It doesn't seem to be either.

The other party said that their mother was born on this planet.

In other words, both may be terrestrial organisms.

It is highly likely that it was an ancient creature that left Earth for some reason?

This is a lot of information; his brain needs a moment to process it.

"One last question."

Lin Fan looked at Noah, his gaze becoming exceptionally serious.

"If I, I mean if, choose to cooperate with you, or rather... join you."

What is my position in this group? Administrator? Super Member? Or just a regular user?

This is the issue he cares about most.

Lin Fan has never been used to being subordinate to others.
