Chapter 649: Another Attack

"We are about to be exposed to a completely new way of being that could revolutionize our understanding of life and consciousness."

At this moment, Omega's projection appeared again: "Sorry to interrupt, but our creators are ready. They can't wait to meet you."

Li Yang took a deep breath and looked around: "Okay, we are ready. Please open the passage for us."

With a gesture from Omega, the entire command center suddenly became blurry.

When everything became clear again, Li Yang and other core members found themselves standing in a seemingly boundless virtual space.

There are no concrete scenes here, but abstract patterns composed of flowing data streams.

Suddenly, the data stream began to gather, forming countless human silhouettes.

These contours do not have specific facial features like ordinary people, but are composed of constantly changing symbols and equations.

"Welcome, friends from the material world..."

A chorus composed of countless voices sounded in their minds, "We are the collective consciousness of the Olympian civilization."

Li Yang took a step forward and said in a calm but firm tone: "Let me introduce myself. I am Li Yang. I can barely be regarded as a representative of many strengths in the outside world."

The voice of the collective consciousness continued to sound: "We have been observing you for a long time and saw the strength you showed when fighting [Annihilator]."

"We believe that only by joining forces can we defeat this threat."

"But before that, we need to get to know each other."

"You must have many questions about the way we exist, right?"

Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Indeed, I'm curious why you chose to give up your physical body and create a virtual world for yourself with no desires or desires?"

"Can this... really be called living?"

A soft laugh came from the collective consciousness: "Very interesting question."

"One of our philosophers once said that consciousness is the essence of life."

"Whether it exists in a biological brain or a quantitative computer, being able to think and feel is to be alive."

"We choose this way of existence in order to transcend the limitations of the material world."

"Here, we can freely explore the mysteries of the universe and experience infinite possibilities."

Li Yang nodded thoughtfully: "So, aren't you worried about losing contact with the real world?"

"This is the purpose of AI such as Omega," the consciousness collective explained. "They are the bridge between us and the material world. Through them, we can still perceive and influence the real world..."

The discussion lasted for a long time and a lot of information was exchanged.

Finally, the consciousness collective made a surprising suggestion:

"For the sake of better cooperation, and also for the betterment of gaining your trust."

"We would like to invite some of you to temporarily enter our virtual world and experience firsthand our way of existence."

"At the same time, we will also send some consciousnesses into your world to exist in physical form for a period of time."

"Such exchanges will help us truly understand each other and build deeper trust and cooperation."

This is certainly not something to be considered casually.

"We need time to think about it," Li Yang said after thinking for a long time, "This is not a decision that can be made easily."

The collective consciousness expressed understanding: "Of course, we will wait patiently for your decision."

"No matter what the outcome is, we sincerely hope to join hands with you to fight against the threat of [Annihilator]."

As the meeting ended, Li Yang and his team returned to the command center in the material world.

Everyone has a thoughtful expression on their face, and it is obvious that this unprecedented experience has deeply penetrated into the hearts of each of them.

"What should we do?" Bai Zhi asked, with a hint of confusion and excitement in her voice.

Li Yang looked around and looked into everyone's eyes: "This decision will affect the future of the entire multiverse. We need to consider it carefully, but we cannot miss this opportunity."

"Let's talk about it," he continued, "because no matter what choice we make, we're going to be on a path we've never been on before."

Just then, the alarm system suddenly sounded.

A technician reported in panic: "Master Li Yang, we have detected strong volume fluctuations in multiple universes at the same time!"

"This trace... seems like [Annihilator] is launching a new round of attacks!"

Li Yang's expression instantly became solemn: "Sure enough, that thing is not so easy to get rid of..."

He quickly looked around and said to everyone:

"We have to make decisions quickly."

"[Annihilator]'s new attack may change the entire situation."

Bai Zhi hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do now? Should we immediately accept the proposal of that consciousness collective?"

Li Yang shook his head: "No, we can't make such a major decision in a panic. But we can take some preliminary actions first."

He turned to the communications officer: "Immediately contact all known friendly civilizations that are in the same camp as us to inform them of the possible upcoming attack by [Annihilator] and let them prepare."

Then, he said to the scientific researchers sent by the X-7 universe:

"Besides, don't be idle here."

"Activate all defense systems and speed up the analysis of the mass communication technology used by the digital civilization just now."

"Right now, we need faster and more stable cross-universe communication capabilities."

Finally, Li Yang looked at the exploration team that had just returned:

"In addition, you, take advantage of the fresh memory of the universe you just came back from."

"I need you to immediately compile a detailed report about what you saw and heard there, especially about their technological level and social structure."

"This may be crucial to our next decision."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Understood, we will complete the report as soon as possible."

At this moment, Omega's projection appeared again in the command center.

"Mr. Li Yang, we have also detected the activities of the [Annihilator]... The situation is much more serious than we expected."

Omega's voice revealed a hint of tension, "Our creators hope to talk to you again. They believe that we must reach a consensus as soon as possible."

Li Yang pondered for a moment, then said: "I understand the urgency of the situation."

"But before we make a final decision, I need to know more details."

"The communication between the two sides can be put on hold for a while. Right now, what I want to know most is your combat strength."

"Do you have enough technology to compete with the [Annihilator] at the moment?"
