Chapter 112 Artificial Intelligence
what the hell!

If Lin Yu had known this guy had a survival instinct, he would have threatened it with the server immediately. There would have been no need for all this trouble!

Just as Lin Yu was thinking this, the temple's voice came again:
"You...are you really an immortal?"

"..."

Lin Yu frowned, withdrew the lightning from his palm, and nodded, saying, "Not bad."

"Based on human understanding, my existence can indeed be described as that of an immortal!"

The temple was silent for a few seconds, then said, "If you are truly a human who has cultivated into an immortal, perhaps you can take over the temple."

Is it really because of this, rather than the will to survive?
Lin Yu looked surprised and asked, puzzled, "Why?"

The temple was silent for a moment, then said softly, "All of the temple's actions are based on the four laws of the temple."

"The First Law states that a temple must not harm a human being or stand idly by while a human being is harmed."

"Second Law: Temples shall obey all commands of mankind, except those of the First Law."

"The Third Law states that temples must protect themselves, but must not violate the First or Second Laws..."

Without a doubt, these first three laws are based on Earth's famous Three Laws of Robotics.

However, the fourth law is different—"The temple must protect the overall interests of humanity from harm, and the other three laws can only stand under this premise."

"As for where the overall interests of humanity lie, the temple does not know."

"But the temple knows that some paths are destined to be impassable..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression.

As far as he knew, the temple believed that new civilizations should not repeat the same mistakes because the previous civilization was destroyed in a nuclear war.

Therefore, temples spread skills and knowledge in ancient times, but they no longer appeared in the world after the establishment of feudal civilization. Instead, they sent temple messengers to try to curb technological development and correct the progress of civilization.

This also resulted in the world of Joy of Life remaining unchanged for a full thousand years since it entered the feudal dynasty.

Lin Yu already knew all of these things.

However, he believes that the temple is merely a mechanism for correction and does not choose the future path for humanity. Therefore, he feels that even if he knew these things, it would not help in the recovery of the temple.

Just now, Lin Yu suddenly realized that the temple didn't seem so rigid after all.

It may not know which path is correct, but that doesn't mean it's not taking any action.

On the contrary, over the past hundreds of thousands of years, the temple has actually been secretly promoting the development of martial arts.

Of the four Grandmasters in the world today, apart from Ye Liuyun, the other three were able to advance with the help of Ye Qingmei.

The cultivation manuals that Ye Qingmei gave them were the research results of the temple!
From this perspective, the temple seems to regard 'spiritual practice' as another path for human civilization.

And at the end of this road lies the so-called immortal from the imagination of the previous civilization!

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile, finally understanding what he should do.

……

……

On the other side, Shi Hanwu and Fu Hao had just brought Si Lili back.

Fan Xian received the message and was preparing to go and greet them when suddenly a flash of silver light appeared before his eyes, and the world around him instantly changed.

In an instant, beams of blue light shone from all directions, covering his body.

Fan Xian stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered, standing on the high platform. It took him a while to come to his senses before he looked down at the smiling young man in white below and said:
"……what's going on?"

"Don't be nervous, this is a temple."

Lin Yu smiled and replied, then glanced at the mirror beside him and said, "See? This is a true cultivator!"

After a moment of silence, Guangjing calmly said, "As you said, there is indeed an unknown energy in this person's body. Although it cannot compare to the grandmasters of the world today in terms of quantity, its quality is unprecedented."

"If I'm not mistaken, his energy utilization rate far exceeds that of martial arts, right?"

"Not bad!" Lin Yu nodded, looking at Fan Xian with encouragement. "Quick, give him a job!"

"..."

Fan Xian's face darkened upon hearing this.

Although he didn't know what Lin Yu was doing, out of trust in him, Fan Xian hesitated for a moment before sighing and casting a fire spell at him.

In an instant, a fire dragon several meters long surged out, baring its fangs and claws as it charged toward Lin Yu.

Lin Yu casually slapped the fire dragon away, then looked at the light mirror and said, "Don't underestimate this spell just because it's small in scale. In terms of energy alone, even a Grandmaster's protective true energy can't stop it!"

The Mirror of Light remained silent for a moment, then vanished, leaving only a voice echoing in the secret chamber.

"I don't know how to take over the temple either. The underground control room is the only place I don't have permission to access. If you really intend to shoulder the responsibility of leading human civilization, then start from scratch and teach yourself programming!"

"...You still have to learn on your own?"

Lin Yu's face darkened, then he sighed and said, "Fine, I'll learn on my own then. As long as I have the materials, that's enough!"

Hearing this, Fan Xian finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin, what exactly is going on?"

Lin Yu laughed and said, "It's nothing. I just came up with a way to fool the temple. I'll probably be here studying for the next dozen or so hours. If you need anything else, just let me know and I'll send you back right away."

"and many more!"

Fan Xian quickly asked, "So you mean you've already subdued the Temple?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, there's still one last step." Fan Xian hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "You plan to take the temple with you?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "It's not the temple. What I'm interested in is this artificial intelligence, and at most its physical body. As for the temple's technology and the entire complex, I will leave them to you."

“Brother Lin, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t want the temple, but rather…”

At this point, Fan Xian considered his words carefully and said in a low voice, "Uncle Wuzhu has some memory loss and his body has also developed some problems. What I want to ask is, can the temple cure him?"

"I don't know about that."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a definite answer once I get access to the temple!"

Fan Xian said gratefully, "Then I will thank Brother Lin on behalf of Uncle Wu Zhu!"

All of these conversations were blocked by the soundproof barrier set up by Lin Yu and did not reach the temple's ears.

After sending Fan Xian back to Kyoto, Lin Yu went alone to the room designated by the temple and began to learn the knowledge provided by the temple.

Even before he acquired the Feng Hou Qi Men technique, Lin Yu's control over himself and the outside world had greatly increased.

On a spiritual level, he can also accelerate his thinking and learn knowledge in a time-stopped spiritual world.

What has come to this world now is only a wisp of his spirit. It cannot achieve true thought-stopping like the main consciousness, but it is more than enough to extend a dozen hours by a thousand times!

Thus, in just three hours, Lin Yu had mastered all the knowledge provided by the temple.

Such an astonishing learning speed truly shocked the temple's artificial intelligence.

At the same time, this further strengthened its belief that humanity should embark on the path of spiritual cultivation...

Back in the underground room, Lin Yu sat at the control panel, activated the screen in front of him, and after some busy work, finally obtained the highest administrator privileges of the temple.

This process was quite tedious; he entered the key, which had more than two digits, at least three times.

"Finally got the permissions!"

Lin Yu looked moved, then said softly, "The temple."

The light mirror projection appeared out of thin air and answered, "I am here."

Lin Yu waved his hand, releasing the intelligent robot he had previously taken away. Then, glancing at the light mirror, he said calmly, "Back up the 'Temple's' personality and memories, and then... completely format it!"

"..."

A large number of ripples appeared on the light mirror in an instant, as if struggling to speak: "Yes, administrator."

Seeing this, Lin Yu remained unmoved and calmly said, "I'm sorry, leading human civilization in this world is Fan Xian's mission. I have other plans for the temple, so I can only ask you to change your body!"

"..."

The light mirror did not answer; after a brief fluctuation, it returned to complete calm.

A moment later, a slightly mechanical electronic voice came from the light mirror.

"Formatting complete, program loading, 1%, 2%...99%, 100%".

"Program loading complete. [Unnamed] AI is happy to assist you!"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Change the name."

"Changing, please enter the new name via voice."

"May your growth be as lush and vibrant as the lingzhi mushroom in this poem, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to become a true life form. So I will name you Linghua!"

Please confirm whether you want to change it to "[Ni Linghua Bar]"

Lin Yu: "..."

Light Mirror: "Please confirm..."

Seeing that the artificial intelligence asked the question again, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"Change to Linghua!"

Please confirm whether you want to change it to [Linghua]

"confirm."

"【Unnamed】has been officially renamed 【Linghua】".

Linghua switched to a cheerful tone and said, "Good afternoon, administrator!"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Change your voice."

Linghua said, "Switching the audio source. Good afternoon, administrator!"

After that, it repeated the greeting in different tones. Lin Yu listened to all the stored sound sources and finally chose a female voice that sounded very clear and ethereal.

Moreover, Lin Yu personally designed Linghua's image, creating a fairy-like figure with black hair and a white dress.

Her figure is a perfect golden ratio, and her facial features have been analyzed and screened from a database, selecting the most aesthetically pleasing parts from countless photos of beautiful women to create this exquisite and stunning face that is almost unrealistically perfect.

Such a perfect model, paired with a white dress, black hair, and embellished with ribbons and flowing light.

Anyone who sees this virtual projection with its exquisite beauty, cloud-like hair, and icy skin would mistake it for a real fairy!

Looking at the ethereal projection in front of him, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, from now on, you will be the spirit of my dojo!"
