Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 803: Chapter 800: Gazing into the Future

Hearing what Navigator II said, Duncan’s expression immediately became somewhat grave. He stared into the eyes of the person opposite him and spoke solemnly, “A bigger ‘Endless Sea’? Why do you think so?”

After briefly pondering, Navigator II organized his thoughts and then suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question, “In the world where you were born, the civilization that created you, have they reached the ‘final step’?”

“The final step?” Duncan frowned at these words, “Do you mean…”

“To master all the truths within the world they inhabit, to know all the mysteries, the beginning, and the future of the universe, and to have the power to alter the universe itself—where natural laws become a ‘tool’ that can be readjusted and reset, rather than ironclad rules to which one must passively adapt.”

As Navigator II spoke, there was a hint of sentimentality and nostalgia in his expression. Since appearing in this form, even his emotional fluctuations seemed far closer to those of humans.

“My creators gave a name to this stage of civilization; they called it the ‘Transcendental Critical’—although they themselves never reached this stage, they did touch its threshold and deduced the conditions required to reach it. Their highest achievement… was to create a ‘time capsule’ in the process of building the New Hope, which bought them a hundred years when doomsday arrived.”

“Usurping Flame, my creators never truly reached the ‘Transcendental Critical’, but they concluded through massive calculations that ‘mortals’ indeed can reach this height, that with the power of civilization, the mathematical foundation of the universe can be leveraged.”

Navigator II stared intently into Duncan’s eyes, as if immense pressure was crystallizing in his gaze.
