The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Gu Ran continued to coax him: "If you win, you will not be in any danger or risk and will achieve your evolutionary goal. But if you lose, there will not be much loss. My request is that we return to the original boundary."

“You continue in the ‘deep sea,’ and I will continue above the ‘deep sea,’ and try my best not to go into the ‘deep sea’ again. In this way, we will both be happy.”

"......game?"

"Deep Water" and "Swarm Consciousness" remained silent for a moment before saying, "...Games are also a form of human civilization, as you mentioned. Tell me your game rules, and I will answer you after I have thought about them..."

"It's very simple."

Upon hearing the replies from "Deep Water" and "Large Group Consciousness", Gu Ran smiled slightly: "Didn't you want to merge with me? If you merge, the information flow contained in the consciousness will also be fully merged, or rather, the information flow will be transferred."

"Compared to you, who have existed for countless years, I have experienced and know far too little. Therefore, I certainly cannot overwhelm your consciousness with information flow. But you might be able to overwhelm my sea of ​​consciousness, occupy and control it, and then I will no longer be able to escape from this 'deep sea'."

"Because I've lost control of my consciousness, I've definitely been completely merged with you. Doesn't that mean you've achieved your goal? Wasn't that exactly what you wanted to do just now, to merge with me as a human being?"

With the information capacity of an ordinary human being, one's consciousness would be easily overwhelmed by the "deep waters" and "massive groups of consciousness," causing one to lose control of one's body and consciousness—that is, the "soul."

Previously, "Deep Water" and "Large Group Consciousness" treated Gu Ran as an ordinary human being and wanted to do this to him.

However, Gu Ran's control over the sea of ​​consciousness exceeded the expectations of "Deep Water" and "Large Group of Consciousnesses". Caught off guard, it was expelled from the sea of ​​consciousness by Gu Ran, even though it had already merged with a part of it.

Then, feeling that its power was insufficient, the "deep water" and "mass consciousness" summoned more "parts" from underground and gathered them here to increase their power, wanting to continue the previous method of "forced marriage".

Gu Ran, who had previously expelled it from his sea of ​​consciousness, now says he's letting it "crowd" his sea of ​​consciousness.

Even though it often cannot understand human behavior and psychology, this 180-degree change in attitude still aroused its doubts.

After a while, it responded to Gu Ran, "Okay."

Anyway, that's what it was going to do before, so isn't it better now that Gu Ran has taken the initiative to let go?

After reaching an agreement with "Deep Water" and "Mass Consciousness", Gu Ran withdrew most of the mental power that had merged with "Deep Water", leaving only a small portion to maintain communication.

"bring it on."

Gu Ran conveyed his meaning to "Deep Water" and "Mass Consciousness".

"Deep Water" and "Large Group Consciousness" naturally wouldn't be polite to Gu Ran; they immediately charged at Gu Ran like a ferocious beast.

In an instant, Gu Ran felt as if he had been swallowed whole by a giant beast.

Gu Ran, who had taken the initiative to open up, was quickly penetrated.

A massive influx of information entered his consciousness, but this information flow was like a drizzle falling into a lake, creating only a ripple before disappearing into nothingness.

However, the "deep water" and "massive consciousness" have lived for countless years and witnessed countless secrets of this world. A massive flow of information continues to enter Gu Ran's sea of ​​consciousness without any sign of stopping.

Feeling the immense amount of information conveyed by "deep water" and "mass consciousness," Gu Ran was secretly alarmed.

Actually, he used a trick.

That is, he just suddenly realized that the "Ark Core" actually has an information storage function and can store massive amounts of information.

He can transfer excess information from his sea of ​​consciousness to the "Ark Core" for storage by connecting with it.

Furthermore, he can use telekinesis to control the speed of the "transfer".

Time passes slowly.

Even if the speed of the "transmission" and "transfer" information flow is extremely fast, even if the amount of information flow per second is enough to overwhelm the consciousness of countless ordinary people.

But a long time still passed, and it still didn't stop.

Suddenly, Gu Ran's expression changed slightly.

Because it was the first time he felt that the "Ark Core" was completely filled.

but it does not matter.

Including the one possessed by the "Evil God's Consciousness," he now has a total of three "Ark Cores."

One is full, and there are two more.

Gu Ran transferred the information flow to the second "Ark Core".

However, gradually, the second "Ark Core" was also filled with the information flow of "Deep Water" and "Mass Consciousness".

"How much information about this world does its consciousness actually contain?"

Gu Ran felt a sense of doubt.

This is practically a living fossil of information.

Finally, Gu Ran suppressed the "Evil God Consciousness" and then used the "Ark Core" to which it resided to begin the third and final round of information flow "transmission" and "transfer".

"I wonder if the 'Ark Core' can delete 'data' and 'format'."

Although I really want to preserve the massive amount of information in the "Ark Core," because it might contain a "big secret" that I need, the most important thing right now is to win this "game."

Gu Ran, who had the highest privileges, quickly received a response from the "Ark Core"—he was free to delete and format the information recorded within the "Ark Core".

With the ability to "cheat," Gu Ran immediately felt confident in winning this "game."

I don’t know how long it took.

The flow of information about "deep water" and "mass consciousness" has finally shrunk.

"...It seems you've won this game..."

"...You won, you deserve your reward, and you can win an additional bonus..."

The "deep waters" and "mass consciousness" are very calm.

An added bonus?

Gu Ran frowned slightly.

"...Your original concerns have been eliminated...You will become the new 'crowd consciousness'...You have led this integration..."

"...We have become one..."

"...With so much information within you...you're no different from me now..."

Gu Ran actually felt that the "deep water" and "mass consciousness" were gradually weakening.

He finally understood why, despite the long time that information flow and transfer had taken, neither the "deep water" nor the "mass consciousness" had ever questioned it.

Because it agreed to the agreement by "sacrificing" itself.

It relinquished its leadership over the integration process, allowing it to take the lead, in order to remove obstacles to integration and complete the process.

Everything for the "big group"!

228. Presidential governor? I wouldn't even be a dog! 4k

Although the vast majority of information was transferred by Gu Ran to the three "portable hard drives" of the "Ark Core," some information was still received by his sea of ​​consciousness.

This includes information related to "deep waters" and "mass consciousness".

Through this information, Gu Ran finally understood "deep water" and "mass consciousness".

"Deep-water swarms" are a type of life that is difficult for humans to understand; they are both individuals and groups.

If we were to use a trendy term from his past life, we could add "fluid" before it.

The "deepwater swarm" is a "quantitative fluid".

But whether as individuals or as a group, the "deepwater swarm" has a goal ingrained in their instincts—to make the "swarm" develop better and stronger.

As for what the consciousness of the "large group" is actually like, whether it should be Gu Ran, who is a half-baked "large group consciousness," or whether it should be the original "large group consciousness," it doesn't matter.

Even the original "crowd consciousness" itself doesn't care.

As long as the "large group" can develop, that's good and worth doing.

Therefore, upon realizing that it was another "mass consciousness" and that it was determined to fight it to the death, the "deep water" "mass consciousness" immediately changed its mind.

—It abandoned the idea of ​​merging with him, of its consciousness taking the lead.

Instead, they actively merged with him, becoming the ones who took the lead under his consciousness.

The "game" he wanted to play with it was exactly what it wanted, because it didn't care about winning or losing at all.

It only cares whether the outcome of playing the game is beneficial to the development of the "large group".

Ultimately, he won the "game" by "cheating," while "Deepwater" and "mass consciousness" believed that the transmitted information streams had successfully "assimilated" him, making him a true "mass consciousness."

Gu Ran felt a little conflicted.

It feels like he's bullying an honest person.

If it weren't for these three externally connected, enormous "portable hard drives," then the predictions of "Deepwater" and "mass consciousness" would have been accurate. He would have been overwhelmed by this massive flow of information and then merged with "Deepwater" and "mass consciousness"—of course, without the "Ark Core," he wouldn't have played this "game."

Even if his sea of ​​consciousness is truly abnormal enough to receive such a massive flow of information, the information he has stored up in just a few decades of life is absolutely no match for the "deep water" and "mass consciousness," this "living fossil."

At that time, this information flow, which is countless billions of times greater, will usurp his place and directly dominate his sea of ​​consciousness, becoming the assimilation described by "deep water" and "mass consciousness".

At that point, it's hard to say whether he "absorbed" the "deep water" and the "mass consciousness," or whether he became the "deep water" and the "mass consciousness."

But in the end, he was more skilled, or rather, he was luckier, having three "Ark Cores" like "portable hard drives".

Wait a minute, am I really just lucky?

Gu Ran suddenly felt that he had grasped a blind spot.

How did the "Ark Core" come about?
