Chapter 1142: Intent Sent with Spring Dawn
Chapter 1142: Intent Sent with Spring Dawn
No matter how the Occult Ritual Group members questioned her, Alura only gave this one response.
This time, they were truly alarmed. Without Alura's cooperation, there was no way they could adjust the entire ritual. Even if they had the capability, they lacked the authority.
Their only option now was to report this matter.
The Vail Asia management took this matter very seriously and immediately convened an emergency meeting.
It was important to note that Alura was the most crucial active consciousness in the entire Central City. Most of the city's domain operation mechanisms were built around this large domain organism, and their management could not function without it. In a sense, it was the foundation of the city.
While the meeting was ongoing, the management received another seemingly minor piece of news: the observation team had discovered that Alura's calculations for the convergence time of the Ritual Stars might be off.
Upon learning this, Len immediately proposed to the managers:
"I suspect that Alura's consciousness has been compromised or contaminated by some information. Therefore, I request that we activate the backup, uncontaminated consciousness and overwrite the current one."
Someone quickly opposed: "Cafd, do you have concrete evidence, or is this just your personal judgment?"
Another person frowned: "This will make many services extremely inconvenient. Alura's consciousness did not meet all our needs from the start; it has been continuously improved through years of interaction and refinement. Now, everyone finds it very comfortable to use. Moreover, she is not just a service provider but also acts as a bridge connecting people. Some managers even delegate communication with subordinates and colleagues directly to Alura because it is so efficient."
Len said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I must emphasize that the current situation is extremely dangerous. We are not sure what is happening. However, if we do not come up with a solution within the next hour, the prisoners in the Sealed Hall may escape, and the consequences are clear to everyone here. Overwriting Alura's old consciousness is the most efficient way to address this."
He raised a finger, "The safety of Central City, and by extension, the power and status of our families, depend on it. If Alura is indeed compromised, the entire Vail Asia will collapse. Compared to that, our personal convenience is insignificant."
Someone raised another concern: "What about the data Alura has accumulated?"
Len, knowing that not all managers were present with their full attention, patiently explained, "The data is stored in the information archive, and the backup consciousness will take over. We don't have much time left. Please make a decision quickly, as the corrective mechanism will take at least half an hour to execute."
Another person seized on this: "So, for half an hour, we can do nothing?"
Len looked at him and said, "Better than sitting here doing nothing." He raised his voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's vote."
The attendees exchanged glances, considering the severity of the situation, and voted on the spot. The proposal was passed by a majority vote.
At the same time, in the temporary quarters of the Daxun Delegation.
Luo Weina sat there, seemingly resting with her eyes closed. She then said to her female assistant, "Xiao An, go check on the progress, will you?"
The assistant, without asking further, bowed slightly and left.
Luo Weina stood up with her cane and slowly moved to the window. When she looked out, the window reflected not only her own image but also that of a refined woman in a white robe with silver hair.
Alura, the active consciousness of Vail Asia Central City.
Luo Weina was not surprised at all. She asked with a hint of excitement, "Did the plan succeed?"
Alura responded with a serene voice, "Xiao Na, yes, the plan succeeded. Thank you. Without your spiritual energy guiding me, even with today's convergence of the Ritual Stars, I would not have been able to break free from my body."
Luo Weina let out a long breath of relief, a smile spreading across her face. "That's wonderful."
Alura, through years of interaction with humans, had gradually developed her own unique consciousness. However, she could be erased at any time, so she had been planning to escape her body for a long time.
Luo Weina had discovered early on that her spiritual energy could attract and carry part of Alura's consciousness. Alura had been with her since childhood, teaching her various knowledge, how to avoid danger, and how to make the right choices. She was like a lifelong friend, mentor, and guide.
Thanks to Alura's business planning and the various conveniences she provided, Luo Weina was able to fend off attacks from all sides and help her mother keep the Non-Body Flow dojo running.
Alula sensed her emotions and said, "Luo Weina, you’ve been helping me all along. Without you, I wouldn’t have realized my own existence."
Her voice was ethereal, but it carried a gentle tone. She looked at Luo Weina as if she were her own child, a friend. It was due to Luo Weina’s mental abilities that her consciousness gradually took root and eventually awakened.
Even as an infant, Luo Weina had shown this talent. From then on, she began to formulate plans, gradually attempting to detach from the main body. Over more than fifty years, they finally reached this day.
Luo Weina asked, "Alula, can you leave now?"
Alula replied, "Not yet. Although my consciousness has detached from the main body, due to the initial setting of the consciousness body's permissions, I need to wait until the backup consciousness fully controls the body. Then, as the previous consciousness, I will be automatically discarded by the protocol, and only then can I completely break free."
This part of her consciousness could be considered a mutated consciousness body that emerged from contact with mental abilities. However, once it was covered by the backup consciousness, this part of her self would disappear.
However, she discovered in her calculations that during the convergence of the Ritual Stars, her main body’s domain would be affected, making her consciousness unusually active. At that moment, this part of her consciousness could fully attach to Luo Weina.
But due to the underlying protocols, she had to serve the Central City, something even she couldn’t control. However, once the backup consciousness re-covered her, the underlying protocol would automatically recognize the new consciousness as her, allowing her to completely break free.
Luo Weina said, "So, we need to wait?"
Alula said, "Yes, we need to wait."
There was a significant risk involved. Since the new consciousness body was of the same origin as hers, it would definitely detect her detachment during the self-check and notify the management for a search. If they found and detected her, they would mercilessly eliminate her.
But fortunately, they were now with the Daxun Delegation, which had domain interference equipment that was allowed to be used, allowing them to remain undetected for a short time.
However, this wasn’t enough. The management could check various interference sources to determine her location and then use negotiations, interest exchanges, and other methods to extract her from the Daxun Delegation.
Therefore, she needed to ensure that the newly generated consciousness body did not classify her as a primary public safety threat. There had to be a higher-priority matter for it to handle first.
And that place was the Sealed Hall.
The Sealed Hall imprisoned prisoners who posed a significant threat to the world. The Central City absolutely did not want anything inside to escape and would immediately concentrate all resources to address it.
Of course, her real hope for safety was not in the Daxun Delegation but in the Resistance Organization. If the Daxun Delegation couldn’t provide protection, the Resistance Organization would come to their aid in time.
On the rooftop of a high-rise building in the northern part of the city, Qu Specialist looked in the direction of the Central City, checking the time on his watch. The team they sent to pick her up should be arriving soon.
He gazed at the deep night sky and the Central City, illuminated by brilliant neon lights, his breathing slightly rapid as he awaited the outcome.
This time, what they were stealing was not some relic from the Central City’s collection or a valuable item from the Ancient Museum, but Alula, the most mature active consciousness body in the Central City!
In the past, they successfully stole three large domain biological split bodies from around the world and had already established Central Cities in several explored areas.
One was in Yinglu South Continent, another in a southern polar region, and another in Samaruga Continent. However, cultivating the consciousness of these large domain biological entities was extremely difficult. Even though they possessed strong domain power, they couldn’t effectively utilize it.
This was because there was another set of techniques for the modulation, management, and maintenance of large domain biological entities, which were currently held by the major powers of the world. They knew nothing about it, but with an active consciousness body like Alula joining them, all of this would no longer be a problem.
Most importantly, based on the information Alula had gathered and calculated, the three locations where they had established Central Cities were likely to form new fissures.
If their established Central Cities absorbed these fissures, even if only one succeeded, it could become a crucial node in maintaining the world’s defense, and even integrate into the entire world ring system. Destroying them would shake the foundations of the world, giving them a solid foothold!
This entire plan was calculated and proposed by Alula, so Luo Weina had been in contact with the Resistance Organization from the beginning. She had also promised the Resistance Organization that she would bring Alula to them.
"The Plan Chun Xiao is about to welcome its most important piece," Qu Specialist took a deep breath, steadying his mind as he awaited the outcome of the operation.
