Chapter 2336: Chapter 1164: Intelligent Mechanical Apostle

"Soul digitization, mechanical ascension, intelligent mechanical apostles... the power of this world is quite interesting."

On the other side, in the room inside the villa, Dorothy put down the information in her hand.

Although initially surprised that this Mechanical Wilderness turned out to be the former Chessboard World, she was more curious about what this world had gone through in the years since it broke away from the chessboard.

Under the Force of the Divine King’s doomsday revelation, this world had once experienced four calamities.

Conflicts, war, famine, plague....

These are experiences that living people could hardly endure, the frail flesh could hardly bear such torment, to survive the never-ending calamities and human disasters, there was only one way, which was to transcend the limitations of the mortal flesh.

Flesh weak and bitter, mechanical ascension.

Fortunately, the Winter Empire co-founded by Dorothy and Elsa managed to complete the early technology accumulation of mechanical ascension before the calamities. Although the soul digitization, the technology to store souls as data into the gigantic Underworld Differencer, had not yet been experimentally verified, under the pressure of world-ending calamities, survivors had no choice, they turned themselves into test subjects for this technology.

Some failed, they embraced death with their flesh bodies, while others succeeded, they were rebirthed from the blood and fire with bodies of steel.

The data-clear vision of soul consciousness allowed them to overcome disputes, the ever-changing, repairing, and upgrading steel bodies made them fearless of war, famine, and plague.

Thus, under the leadership of the great pioneer Akate, they built the present-day Intelligent Machinery Alliance upon the ruins of the once-destroyed Winter Empire.

And with the development of the Alliance to this day, the former Underworld Differencer has evolved into today’s Heavenly Network System, and mechanical power has completely liberated people from the pressures of survival, allowing them to pursue higher-level goals.

In summary, the technology of today’s world has surpassed Dorothy, the creator’s original idea, her futuristic blueprint for the Winter Empire did not plan to this extent.

Of course, she also immediately recognized the biggest contradiction and problem of the Alliance today, which is the contradiction between the people’s spiritual quality and the overly idealistic egalitarian system.

Indeed, if we only look at the material conditions, the people of this world almost live in a heaven, they can live their whole lives well without effort, never having to worry about food, clothing, housing, medical care, and old age.

The almost surplus productive power brought by this world’s advanced technology can fully meet all the needs of the Alliance people, the only problem is that the personal mental qualities of the Alliance people are not advanced enough to fully integrate with their overly ideal egalitarian system.

Dorothy also has to admit that the ideals of the founders of the Alliance are beautiful, they are all survivors of the apocalypse, most have suffered themselves, so they want to provide shelter for future generations.

So they constructed this heaven-like perfect societal system, all management is handed over to the absolutely fair and selfless system, all production to the hard-working and tireless machines, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high, low, noble, or mean, nor is there a class in society, only the distinction of each’s job distribution, everyone can engage in work they like and have talent for, they live only for self-realization.

This utopia is so wonderful, just thinking about it is enchanting, even the homebody witch wishes to become one of them.

Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel, there is original sin inherent in human nature, making it impossible for humans to remain eternally rational, they simply cannot truly pursue self-realization according to the vision of that utopia.

If nothing needs to be done, people will only become lazy, if there is nothing to pursue, effort loses its meaning, if everything is absolutely equal, ambition has no soil to grow.....

Always rational machinery will not do harmful things, but humans indeed make choices that harm both themselves and others.

The realization of that utopia requires all people to possess super high moral standards and lofty self-pursuit, but clearly, most people in reality lack these two elements.

Therefore, forcibly implementing this overly advanced system when people’s qualities have not met the standards will only lead to distortion and collapse.

The Alliance, which has been maintained for tens of thousands of years, is now only stable on the surface; in reality, there are already undercurrents surging, ready to break apart.

Moreover, in the end, the Alliance has not truly achieved equality; above the ordinary people, there exists a transcendent being, which is the apostles who have completed mechanical ascension.

Each of these apostles is an immortal existence, their wisdom comparable to light computers, their bodies as strong as deities, a perfect existence envied by all mortals.

However, unfortunately, not all Alliance people can become apostles.

The system stipulates that only those who make certain contributions in their heavenly duty and obtain enough contribution points can qualify for soul digitization, thereby freeing from the suffering flesh, achieving eternal life in a body of steel.

The right to be an apostle and the right to reproductive rights are the only two inequalities within the system.
