Eternal Night

Chapter 325 Authority
(PS: Let me tell you a piece of happy news.

It's the Spring Festival. From today, the 25th, to the end of this month, the 31st, I'm going to give myself a holiday. I'm going to update twice a day, which is considered a Spring Festival break. I calculated that my saved drafts are just enough to be used up. How about it? Are you happy?

Okay, no more jokes. During the Spring Festival, I want to spend time with my parents, my wife and children, and spend good time with them, so I'm giving everyone a few days off. Starting from today, I'll update twice a day until the 31st, and then from February 1st, I'll resume updating three times a day. At the same time, the alliance leaders will continue to update. At the same time, starting from February, the alliance leaders who haven't updated the previous book will add at least five chapters per month until the debt is paid off.

Thank you for your support, and I hope you will understand the Spring Festival break. Thank you.)
"…The Mastermind is a miracle creation of human civilization. It is humanity's greatest support in facing all kinds of difficulties. After the Fourth World War, if humanity did not have the Mastermind, it would have perished in the shattered solar system."

Wu Xianxiao, Chu Yuyan, Gao Changgong, Wang Yihui, and Lin Nianzhi, only five of them walked into the bottom floor of the guild hall, which is also its deepest part, a summoning room, which is also the most secretive place in the guild hall.

The entire summoning room seemed to be brightly lit, but from the door to the inner walls, floor, and ceiling, there were blood-red inscriptions engraved on them. The whole room exuded a gloomy and terrifying feeling. And this was by no means an illusion. There was only a door between the inside and the outside of the room, but the temperature difference was at least ten degrees.

Gao Changgong closed the door, then stood in the room and chanted something in a low voice, and the red inscriptions gradually glowed.

Only then did he say, "Okay, it's absolutely safe here."

Wu Xianxiao didn't say anything, but Chu Yuyan looked around and said, "Well, it's indeed safe. We can talk about some deeper topics now."

Lin Nianzhi asked in confusion: "Why is it safe here? Is it protected by supernatural power? What if the other party does not use supernatural power, but uses various technological equipment?"

The few of them looked at each other. Wu Xianxiao remained silent, so Wang Yihui said, "Sister Li, the situation is not what you think. First of all, to hide it from our perception, vision, and sixth sense, it must be a nanomachine, right? You can't get a mechanical animal or something to eavesdrop, right?"

Several people looked at Jiujiu on Wu Xianxiao's shoulder and Daphne who was following him.

Wang Yihui paused and continued, "This is the key. This is the Land of Redemption. Although it is higher than the Zero Point Nine Dream World and very close to the real world, it is indeed not the real world. There are subtle differences in the laws of physics, and there are also various influences of supernatural pollution. No one knows what the most advanced technology will become, so the main brain has banned a certain degree of high-end technology in this Land of Redemption."

Gao Changgong also said: "Technology including artificial intelligence and automatic programs are banned. Although there are remote control operations, such as those patrol robots are operated by employees behind the drones, but you should all know that nano-sized mechanical bodies are simply impossible to be controlled by humans. Their size alone makes it impossible, so our protection focuses more on eavesdropping in the extraordinary field."

Lin Nianzhi and Wu Xianxiao both suddenly realized.

Gao Changgong and Wang Yihui couldn't help but shout, "No, Lin Nianzhi doesn't understand, why don't you understand it either?"

Chu Yuyan chuckled and said, "It's okay if you don't understand. Just explain it clearly now."

After this commotion, Gao Changgong and Wang Yihui immediately looked at Chu Yuyan with serious faces. After the two looked at each other, Gao Changgong spoke first: "You just said to let Wu Xianxiao awaken the super brain before the rescue operation, right? Do you mean other means besides the special order designated by the president?"

Chu Yuyan also said seriously: "Yes."

Gao Changgong and Wang Yihui both fell silent.

Wu Xianxiao immediately asked, "I don't understand. Don't act as if I don't exist, okay? What do you mean? Explain clearly."

Gao Changgong explained to Wu Xianxiao: "Super brains are divided into explicit and implicit. Explicit super brains are similar to those of Mr. Chu Minghao and Liang Min. They are born with super brain abilities. In contrast, there is an implicit super brain. This kind of super brain is like the one in you. It has some characteristics, but it cannot actively use super brain abilities. It is not much different from ordinary people. This is actually an implicit super brain."

Wu Xianxiao already knew these things, so he nodded in silence and continued to look at Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong continued, "To awaken the latent super-brain to the dominant one, it can only be done by the main brain. We outsiders don't know how it is done specifically, but there is evidence that Mr. Xu Wanfang's latent super-brain was awakened in person in front of the main brain after the president issued a special order. This news was also confirmed by Mr. Chu Minghao and Liang Min, which means that the main brain can awaken the latent super-brain and give ordinary people a very small part of the super-brain characteristics. So far, only the main brain can awaken the super-brain. This is the result of all the singularity technologies."

Wu Xianxiao frowned and said, "According to what you said, only the main brain can awaken the hidden super brain, which means that I must go to the main brain. You also said that only a special order from the president can go to the main brain. This means that I can only do this after rescuing Chu Minghao. How can I awaken the super brain now?"

Gao Changgong, Wang Yihui, and Lin Nianzhi all looked at Chu Yuyan at the same time. Their faces were complicated. Lin Nianzhi blurted out, "So it really exists? The power to destroy the world... really exists?"

Wu Xianxiao immediately noticed the strange atmosphere between these four people, so he shut up and stopped asking questions, just watching and eating melons from the side.

Chu Yuyan smiled bitterly and said, "If you mean the temporary control authority of the main brain... yes, all eleven families have this authority, every family has it."

Gao Changgong, Wang Yihui, and Lin Nianzhi all looked gloomy. After a long while, Gao Changgong and Wang Yihui also smiled bitterly. Only Lin Nianzhi said angrily: "You are really aristocrats, a real aristocratic family! This is the source of your privileges, right? In this case, I really should thank the People's Revolutionary League. If it weren't for the People's Revolutionary League breaking all this, we would still be slaves of your eleven families!" Chu Yuyan smiled even more bitterly, while Gao Changgong and Wang Yihui were silent.

At this time, Chu Yuyan said to Wu Xianxiao: "Mr. Wu is a cryo-hibernator from the 21st century, so he is not very clear about what happened after the 21st century. He probably knows the general situation, but he is not very clear about the specific social and political changes... After the Third World War, Wei Lan unified all mankind and became the only and legitimate ruling regime of mankind as a salvation organization. Mr. Wu should know this, right?"

Wu Xianxiao naturally nodded.

Chu Yuyan continued, "In the beginning, the Azure Organization did hold the lofty ideals of the savior to unify humanity. On the one hand, they managed the earth's environment, and on the other hand, they explored the technology before the Third World War. But they did one thing that affected everything in the future... That is, they erased all the history, myths, and most of the literature and art before the Third World War... In short, after ruling human civilization for nearly two hundred years, the Azure Organization has become completely corrupt, especially as its power has become increasingly concentrated, which eventually led to the Final Product Incident."

At this time, Gao Changgong said: "Let me tell you the story next. After all, you are a member of the Chu family... After the final product incident, the internal forces of the Azure, that is, the eleven families, revolted, and the external forces were the Thirteenth Company secretly exerted their strength, and eventually completely overthrew the Azure Organization, causing the Azure Organization to be almost completely destroyed. However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the remnants of the Azure Organization hid themselves. This is the predecessor of the future People's Revolutionary League."

"After the demise of the Azure Organization, the power of mankind fell into the hands of the Eleventh Family and the Thirteen Singularity Companies. At that time, the Eleventh Family, which controlled most of Azure's resources, had overwhelming power. At the same time, the Thirteen Singularity Companies themselves were also full of contradictions. In the end, a pattern was formed in which the unified human government and the Thirteen Singularity Companies jointly managed mankind. The Eleventh Family became a political family."

"And we... no, there have always been rumors in secret that the eleven companies all hold the ultimate means to destroy humanity. This is called the power of annihilation. At the same time, there are also various scandals and dark secrets about the eleven companies from time to time. To be honest, they are no less cruel than the experiments of the Thirteen Singularity Companies."

Wu Xianxiao looked at Chu Yuyan, but Chu Yuyan said calmly: "Yes, in the darkest years, the eleven families were really beasts. Even they... no, even some of us began to dream of becoming the final product. Some people secretly studied the final product plan of the Azure Organization, trying to create the divine and mortal levels in the real world. They already think they are a race of gods that have surpassed mortals."

At this point, Chu Yuyan shook his head and said, "The outbreak of the Fourth War was not only caused by the Thirteen Singularity Companies, but also by the perverse actions of the main body of the unified human government, that is, the eleven families. That's why when the People's Revolutionary League made a comeback, so many people got involved. Even people within the eleven families couldn't stand it. For example, Mr. Xu Wanfang joined the People's Revolutionary League... In short, the outbreak of the Fourth War was inevitable."

Wu Xianxiao said nothing. He pondered for a while and said, "So, what you call awakening the super brain is to use the power of annihilation of your Chu family, right?"

Chu Yuyan said seriously: "This is the bottom-level control of the main brain. All eleven families have it, but this authority is actually very limited. After all, it is eleven families, not one person, and there is suspicion between each other. Therefore, to use this so-called power of annihilation, at least two families must use it at the same time. The more families that join, the greater the authority. When eleven families use it at the same time, their authority even exceeds that of the current president."

At this point, Chu Yuyan paused and said, "After the Redemption War, Chu Minghao gave me the Chu family's power of annihilation. This is something that no one in the outside world knows. He might have had some kind of premonition at the time. He told me to contact the Xu family to use the power of annihilation when necessary. Use this power to allow you to obtain the qualifications for awakening the main brain. However, if there are only two families, this is not a complete awakening, but a partial awakening. That's why I said before that Mr. Wu's super brain can at least awaken partially. This is what I meant."

Wu Xianxiao didn't notice anything, but Gao Changgong and the others were all moved. Gao Changgong immediately asked, "In other words, you are now the head of the Chu family!?"

Chu Yuyan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Yes, if whoever holds the power of extermination is the head of the family... then I am the head of the family. However, you three may not know that in addition to the power of extermination representing the qualifications of the head of the family, the eleven families actually have other credentials for being the head of the family, but I won't talk about that."

Wu Xianxiao then asked, "You can use the power of annihilation for me, but what gives the Xu family the right? This cannot be done by intimidation with fists. It involves the foundation of a family. Even if I want to kill Xu Ruonan, she will definitely not use it for me. She may even use the power of annihilation to perish together with me, right?"

Chu Yuyan shook his head and said, "If it was any other situation, it would be true, but the Xu family is an exception... Chu Minghao told me that Miss Xu Shilan was your former teammate, right?"

Gao Changgong, Wang Yihui, and Lin Nianzhi immediately looked at Wu Xianxiao in shock. Lin Nianzhi immediately said, "Miss Xu Shilan was your former teammate!? Why didn't you tell us?"

Wu Xianxiao did not answer, but frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

He felt somewhat unhappy because this involved Xu Shilan... this was already close to the sore spot in his heart.

Chu Yuyan immediately said, "I don't mean to offend Miss Xu Shilan. She is a heroine. She was the one who took the lead in wiping out the Thirteen Singularity Company... What I mean is, the proof of the head of the Xu family is here with Mr. Wu, right?"

Wu Xianxiao immediately denied it: "What are you talking about? Xu Shilan and I are innocent. She was still a virgin when she died!"

Chu Yuyan was a little stunned. After a while, he hurriedly said, "No, that's not what I meant. I meant... Death Resurrection is here with Mr. Wu, right?"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned. Then he came to his senses and nodded in acknowledgement.

Chu Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then there will be no problem. With this... the Xu family, no, Xu Ruonan will definitely agree to use the power of annihilation!"

"Mr. Wu can now awaken his super brain!"
