"Oh no." In the underground research room, researchers saw Ren Chong struggling uncontrollably in the chair.

"Realistic interference, hurry up! Apply electric current to him to rescue!"

The electrodes attached to Zhou Sheng’s arm began to be energized, and Zhou Sheng suddenly became uncontrollably spasmed.

Yu Hao stood in the cement house and stared at the dark self.

"You appear again." Yu Hao looked at him and said in surprise, "When did you come back?"

The dark Yu Hao sat in front of the charcoal stove, roasted the fire with both hands, and said, "Every time, when you question yourself, I will never disappear."

"I don't want you to disappear," Yu Hao said, "I know that's impossible, too."

"Do you want to find Zhou Sheng?" Yu Hao said slowly, "Can you save him? Just you?"

Yu Hao looked around and the door that came in was closed. At this moment, there seemed to be only such a small room left in his spiritual world.

"When you come here," said Dark Yu Hao again, "It proves that you are almost dead, where else do you want to go?"

"I understand." Yu Hao said, "But even if there is only a little chance, I will not give up."

Dark Yu Hao sneered, and Yu Hao said again: "Come on, come back to me."

Dark Yu Hao opened his eyes wide and was stunned. Yu Hao said, "I need your help now, open the door for me."

"Go down from here," said Dark Yu Hao, "maybe I will never come back."

"Come on." Yu Hao smiled, "I'm not afraid."

Dark Yu Hao was silent, Yu Hao only waited patiently. Finally, his darkness stood up and walked towards Yu Hao. Yu Hao opened his arms to him, and the two flashed in an instant and merged into one.

A flash of light flashed through the cement house, and another door appeared. Yu Hao walked forward, just like the last time he pushed open the door with Zhou Sheng, leaving his subconscious mind and entering a deeper space of consciousness.

It was like the universe starry sky transforming out, and outside the door, a giant tree with a strong light appeared! Yu Hao appeared on one of the leaves, and the light that protected him was still blooming around him.

"Success!" Yu Hao said, "I've succeeded!"

But no one shared his joy. Yu Hao ran quickly along the leaves to the stems, then to the branches, searching everywhere, and murmured to himself: "The next thing is to find Zhou Sheng's dream... which one is it?"

A light appeared on the top of the tree trunk in the distance.

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao turned around subconsciously and ran towards the light.

"It's so cold..." Yu Hao felt that in the world deeper than in the memory ruins, there was a chill that penetrated the skin, blood and even bones. Only by running towards the light could it be slightly better.

While running, he searched for the world where the branches might be Zhousheng. Countless leaves were floating on this huge world tree, falling into the void, completely disappearing, and new tender leaves slowly grew towards the sunlight falling from the heights.

He knew what part of Zhou Sheng’s subconscious experience was about death—that was the hallucination that he had drowned when he picked up the golden crow wheel when he was a child. If he found that leaf, he might enter Zhou Sheng’s dream and he would appear from the bottom of the water. But how should he go in? Perhaps the memory of the drowning feeling that he could not swim, and could find the resonance with Zhou Sheng’s moment in the deep consciousness?

Yu Hao ran away from countless branches, but he never found Zhou Sheng's leaves. These leaves all looked exactly the same, making him unable to tell.

There must be some way... Yu Hao thought to himself that there are many things that he has not yet understood, so don't worry...

His steps stopped slowly and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

He left the highest branch, where there were steps from all directions. He climbed up the steps, and reached the end of the steps, facing the sun that shone the giant tree of the world - another golden crown wheel.

"Will I actually see you here?" Yu Hao said in disbelief.

"This is the world of the collective subconscious." A grand voice replied, "Humans, animals, all living beings with free will, the deepest consciousness is interconnected here, it has no concreteness, and in your cognition, it is expressed as the 'big tree of the world'."

"Golden Crown Wheel!" Yu Hao said in shock, "You can speak?"

"Here, your and my perceptions have been completely separated, and my interpretation is manifested as 'voice', one of the six senses." Jin Wulun's voice said, "Why did the corrector come here?"

Yu Hao stared at Jin Wulun in a daze and said, "Wait, are you alive? I mean, are you artificial intelligence? I'm looking for Zhou Sheng..."

Immediately, a golden wave of light appeared in front of me, spreading out around me. In the center of the light wave, a luminous image of Zhou Sheng appeared. He walked towards Yu Hao and said, "Reviser."

"Zhou Sheng!" Yu Hao said excitedly, but soon he realized that this was just an image transformed by the Golden Crow Wheel.

The golden hulun looked at Yu Hao quietly. Yu Hao calmed down and said, "I know this is the collective subconscious world. It connects everyone's dreams and is the dream of the world. I want to find Zhou Sheng's dream through it and go to his dream. Do you know what happened?"

"Surveillance." Jinwulun replied.

"Yes! Yes!" Yu Hao replied.

Then, Jin Wulun turned around and walked down the steps without saying a word. Yu Hao followed closely and said, "Can you communicate with us! Why didn't you communicate before?"

"Energy," said Jinwulun, "the lack of necessary energy prevents me from activating some functions. I can only enable keyword searches and communicate with you through the last category of perception."

Yu Hao: "Can you hurry up? I'm afraid there's no time. How long has it been?"

"In the collective subconscious world, external time is still." Jin Wulun replied.

Yu Hao thought it was okay and asked, "So why can we communicate again now? Because it is the collective subconscious world?

"No." Jinwu Lun walked down the steps and went up the tree branch and said, "Because of your kind, you started to charge me. Modules such as language compilation, awareness interference and expansion are restored to available modes. But the central processor still has not detected the adaptive energy,"

"Recharge?" Yu Hao said, "Who is helping you recharge?"

"Borrow a piece of consciousness from the monitor." The Golden Crow Wheel released a memory image, which was Zhou Sheng's perspective. Seeing the process of the Golden Crow Wheel being dissolved and charged, Yu Hao stopped immediately and said, "What do they want to do? Wait... I suddenly thought of something."

Yu Hao turned his head and looked at the luminous golden crow wheel that turned into Zhou Sheng, who had a human form, and realized that he was now directly talking to the golden crow wheel. In other words, this guy is equivalent to an omnipotent god for humans! Can you hold his thighs and let him open more permissions for himself? In this way, you don’t have to look for Zhou Sheng!

"Can you give me some other power?" Yu Hao said, "I must bring the monitor out, otherwise I don't know what crazy things Ren Chong will use you to do!"

Jinwu Lun said: "Please describe in detail, corrector, what permissions do you need to enable?"

"No, no." Yu Hao said, "Let me figure it out, it's too complicated."

Jinwulun also said: "The corrector's authority needs to be adjusted through the application of the monitor and then connected to the central processor. It is impossible to directly order it here."

"What are you?" Yu Hao said, "Wait a moment, I need to review some of your information when the command is converted."

Jinwu Lun also stopped, turned around, and faced Yu Hao. Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng's familiar face, brows were deeply locked, and murmured: "Tell me your origin, your functions, and what I want to do now to bring Zhou Sheng back."

The "Zhou Sheng" that transformed into golden light disappeared, turning into countless scenes, surrounding Yu Hao, and above them were scenes of preserved memories!

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao's breathing was about to suffocate, which came from an older image! The first scene floated towards him and came to him, showing two halos surrounding one of the very complex instruments.

"What is this?" Yu Hao said.

"My maker." said the voice of the Golden Murmur.

"Is it a completely different life from us?" Yu Hao reached out to touch it, but the scene disappeared. The voice of the Golden Crow Wheel replied: "It is not completely correct. According to the definition of human language, 'life' refers to an individual or ethnic group with metabolism and reproduction. The manufacturer cannot carry out these two activities."

Then a larger silver halo landed in the ancient earth environment, and the Golden Crow Lun said: "It is 17,442 years ago."

The silver halo released this complex device, suspended in the wilderness, and occasionally animals discovered it and tried to touch it, but failed.

"What is the intention of the maker to create you?" Yu Hao asked.

"Initially, it was to conduct conscious observations on other populations." Jin Wulun replied, "After discovering this planet, the local reproduction mode of life consciousness was judged as 'value', and it is expected that through analysis and sampling of the consciousness of life bodies, the reproduction of the group to which the manufacturer belongs."

"They have only consciousness and no body," said Yu Hao. "Do you want to find a way to reproduce by yourself from the analysis of consciousness of humans and animals on Earth?"

"Picking." Jin Wulun said, "partial extraction and interference are learned to generate new individuals through consciousness division."

"Where are they?" Yu Hao said, "Are your makers still on the earth?"

"The star activity is violent, causing the ray to explode." Jinwulun said, "The manufacturer used me to open the barrier, which consumed a lot of energy from the processor. In the end, the barrier disappeared, and the manufacturer was disturbed and dissipated."

"Dead." Yu Hao said.

"Not accurate," replied Jinwulun, "for them there is no human-defined 'death'."

Next, the device lost a lot of power and was buried in the wind and sand. Then, humans appeared. They picked up the golden crow wheel with such a complex structure and studied it from the perspective of ancient people. After more than 10,000 years of time, Yu Hao continued to pass the scenes quickly. At first, he was afraid that there would not be enough time, but since there was no concept of time here, it would be better to ask clearly first.

"The people of Guba Shu," said Yu Hao, "they picked you up."

"And passed the authentication of the login mechanism." The voice of the Golden Crow Wheel replied in the void, "The frequency matching was detected."

It was a young sacrifice, naked, lying on the altar, as if he had taken some strange medicine and was enshrined on a higher pedestal in front of the altar. The exposed device suddenly shone light, which scared all the sacrificers and others.

The light disappeared, and the offering sat up with a blank look on his face. Jinwulun said, "Four thousand three hundred years ago, he became the first certified human."

"Why?" Yu Hao said, "How did he pass your certification? Because he is dying?"

"The frequency is consistent." Jinwulun replied, "Open after detecting the login."

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao vaguely guessed that perhaps this sacrificed human being accidentally triggered the Golden Crow Wheel through his near-death experience when he was sacrificed. He had read some literature on spiritual research. At this time... isn't the consciousness closest to the original controller of the Golden Crow Wheel?

"Your maker has no form," Yu Hao murmured, "so humans are in the 'soul-like state' and have similar forms to them, so... passed the verification!"

"It cannot be analyzed." Jin Wulun replied.

Yu Hao continued to look down. The people of Shu of the Cuban carefully placed the device on a piece of gold foil with pliers, then covered it with another piece, started to beat it, and poured it with a copper-gold alloy solution. After forging and forming, they handed it to the young priest who should be a sacrifice, and the priest wore it on his chest.

Next, the Cuba-Shu civilization reached prosperity and passed on the Golden Crow Wheel from generation to generation until it encountered a war and was divided into two countries. The last priest was dragged down from his position, picked the Golden Crow Wheel and hanged it. After the war, the Golden Crow Wheel landed on the ground when it was transported, and the Minjiang River diverted it and rushed to the downstream.

Time flew by quickly until Zhou Sheng was swimming in the tributary river when he was a child, he found it in the mud. But after he got the Golden Crow Wheel, he drowned because he was exhausted. Yu Hao was frightened to see it, but fortunately, Zhou Sheng was washed up to the shore by the river, and he still held the Golden Crow Wheel in his hand.

"This guy always..." Yu Hao said, "I have a stubborn temper."

Jinwulun said: "That's what you want to know."

Yu Hao replied: "Do you have an independent awareness? In other words, besides choosing the first user, can you... help me?"
