Chapter 690: Opportunity for Change

Li Yang and Ella walked into the control room cautiously, and the sight in front of them amazed them.

The entire room is filled with the atmosphere of future technology, surrounded by various complex instruments and displays, and the light ball suspended in the center emits a dazzling light.

"Is this the [Heart] we are looking for?" Ella asked softly, eyes fixed on the mysterious sphere.

Li Yang nodded, "It seems right, but..."

He murmured, then suddenly frowned: "Something feels wrong."

At this moment, the ball of light suddenly flashed violently, and a mechanized voice echoed throughout the room—

[Warning: Unknown entity detected, final defense mechanism activated. 】

Following this sound, the entire control room began to shake violently, and various instruments on the wall lit up red alarm lights.

"Something's wrong..." Li Yang shouted, "Back off, get out of here!"

But it was too late. The ball of light suddenly erupted with a strong wave of energy, knocking the two men away to the corner of the room.

Li Yang just threw the seeds out immediately...

However, his hands were blank, nothing.

Li Yang struggled to get up and found that his ability seemed to be suppressed by something.

"Ella, how do you feel?"

Li Yang frowned and asked, while observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.

Ella reluctantly stood up and stroked her chest: "I'm fine, it's just...my psychic energy...is also blocked."

"If you encounter danger later..."

At this moment, the light ball began to deform, gradually turning into a human-shaped outline.

As the outline became clearer and clearer, Li Yang and Ella were surprised to find that the shadow looked exactly like Li Yang.

"Welcome to the core of Solaris, invaders."

The humanoid creature spoke slowly, with a hint of irony in the voice of the mechanical structure.

"Or should I say, welcome home?"

Li Yang stared at the existence in front of him warily, "Another embodiment of [heart]? But why did you become like me?"

"The matter of sealing skills... was also your fault?"

The humanoid creature chuckled lightly,

"I'll answer them one by one..."

"I am the guardian of this world and the [Heart] you are looking for."

"As for why it became like you..." it paused, "of course it's because...you are the creator of this world."

This answer stunned both Li Yang and Ella subconsciously.

Creator? Li Yang created this world?

But after thinking for a moment, they understood.

Including the [Database] itself has said that Li Yang is just one of many [Collectors].

In many universes, there are countless Li Yangs who have created countless miracles.

It seems reasonable that the [heart] in front of him mistook him for other Li Yang.

But... [Heart] seems to be able to distinguish between its user and creator.

Didn’t the servant spirit that I met before recognize this Li Yang and not that Li Yang at a glance?

"Stop joking." Li Yang sneered.

"I'm just one of the [collectors] who came here to look for lost data. How can I be the creator of this world?"

The humanoid creature shook his head, "You have lost a lot of memory, but this does not change the established facts."

"This world, all of Solaris, was created by your own hands."

"You are trying to create a perfect world, a world that can evolve and repair itself, as the host that carries the core of the [database]..."

Ella couldn't help but interjected:

"Then why is the world like this now? Why is there machinery and poisonous gas everywhere?"

"Because you... Li Yang, you made a fatal mistake." The humanoid creature replied, "You gave this world too much autonomy."

"It began to evolve of its own volition, ultimately leading to what you see."

"Okay, then you are right." Li Yang frowned and thought, and suddenly thought of something, "But if I am really the creator and you are my creation, then why do you want to attack us?"

The expression of the humanoid creature became serious,

"Because you are no longer the original creator."

"It's obvious that you have lost your memory and your ability to control the world."

"You are just an intruder and a potential threat to this world now."

"For the purpose of self-preservation...it's just fulfilling its obligations."

"So..." Ella asked cautiously, "What do we do now?"

The humanoid was silent for a moment, then said:

"Who knows..."

"I just have a broken [heart]. I have long lost the ability to analyze and process information."

"I will only act based on instinct...and I can't give you guidance."

Li Yang and Ella looked at each other and saw the hesitation and confusion in each other's eyes.

"But...if you exist, it is to protect the core of [database]."

"Why did [Database] ask us to come here to recover you."

"Although you are indeed dilapidated, at least you still retain the most essential functions."

"The world is a mess, but the [database] is still intact... isn't it?"

The humanoid creature tilted its head slightly, seeming to be looking at Li Yang with its non-existent eyes.

The humanoid creature was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about Li Yang's words.

Then, it slowly spoke:

"You're right...it's indeed a contradiction."

"As [Heart], I should have protected the core of [Database], but now [Database] has sent you to recover me..."

It paused and continued:

"Maybe it's because I can no longer perform my duties well... The world is out of control as evidenced by this."

"[Database] needs a more stable and reliable [Heart] to maintain its operation."

Li Yang nodded thoughtfully: "So, you might as well cooperate with us and let us take you out of here?"

The humanoid creature was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly:

"I...I'm not sure."

"As the guardian of this world, it is my duty to stay here."

"But as part of the [Database], I should also obey its will."

It looked at Li Yang and Ella with a hint of confusion in its tone:

"It's just... I hope you can promise that if I leave with you, the world will not completely collapse."

Ella slowly took a step forward and replied:

"We can't guarantee anything, but we will do our best to maintain the stability of this world."

"After all, this is also part of the [Database]."

Li Yang added:

"Besides, if you stay here, things will only get worse."

"Let us take you away. At least there will be a chance for change."
