Chapter 486: 217. Earth 100 years later_2

“Immortality?” Lin Qing was stunned, “It’s just the long-term preservation of memory data, not consciousness upload. How can it be immortality?”

“Not so.” The bald monk shook his head and sighed: “You might as well think about it, who are you? Is what you perceive now necessarily your perception? What is truly important is your root source, the so-called Alaya Consciousness…”

Before the bald monk could finish speaking, a staff member dressed in black came over, frowned, and said: “Hey, baldy, this is the Lin’an Restoration Area, didn’t you see the new regulations? It’s forbidden to spread any form of digital life ideology here, leave at once.”

The bald monk said helplessly: “I’m not spreading religion, I’m just…”

“That won’t do either, leave now.” The staff member frowned.

The bald monk sighed and had to turn and leave.

The staff member glanced at Lin Qing and reminded him: “Young man, you are quite clear-headed, don’t believe in these new digital life companies, all they want is to take your money.”

“Young man?” Lin Qing smiled, not taking offense, and simply asked: “Are there many people spending money on this?”

“A lot.” The staff member sighed and said: “After all, most people find it hard even to awaken genetically, and their lifespan is only one or two hundred years. Who doesn’t want immortality? Even though they know digital life is unreliable, some still believe it, causing an existential crisis to emerge now. Recently, the Original Human Protection Association was established, if you’re interested, you can check it out online.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qing smiled.

He continued to casually wander around the restored urban area, while expanding his telekinesis to observe the current Earth civilization.

“There are many more genetically awakened people, but they are still just a minority. There are even fewer who have become Cosmic Citizens, no wonder…”

Lin Qing mused.

More than a hundred years ago, genetic awakening was very rare globally. Among 8 billion people worldwide, not counting the urban circle, there were only a few hundred genetic awakened individuals.

And now, by sensing carefully, he could feel an unknown number of tens of thousands of genetic awakeners.

But compared to the current global population, they are still a minority.

If there wasn’t genetic awakening, even with today’s medical technology and the long-term use of various body-evolving aids, people could probably live healthily to one or two hundred years old.

This lifespan is already quite good compared to over a hundred years ago. Moreover, there’s almost no incurable diseases, even late-stage cancer can be completely cured.

But people fear comparison.

Comparing to those few genetic awakeners with lifespans of hundreds or even thousands of years, it’s natural to feel unbalanced.

No wonder some people took the opportunity to promote this unreliable digital life version of immortality.

“Achieving universal genetic awakening on Earth wouldn’t be too hard…”

Lin Qing could sense that various energy sources on Earth gathering cosmic energy were now accelerating in accumulating energy.

As long as enough energy is accumulated, it will erupt once again as it did two hundred years ago, releasing an evolutionary radiation force field across the globe.

This is likely the handiwork of Chu Hongjun and his group.

When a planet evolves into a Perfect Planet, it unleashes massive energy transformation into evolutionary radiation that blankets the entire globe, allowing all inhabitants to evolve and their genes to optimize.

However… two hundred years ago, when Earth evolved into a Perfect Planet, the energy was turned into a global doomsday storm by the Intelligent Star People.

Now it should be the energy reaccumulated by Chu Hongjun and his peers.

“See them.” Lin Qing’s figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

…

“Lin Qing, you’re back?”

The first to arrive was Qi Lingxiao, who looked at Lin Qing with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to stay in seclusion for so long. How’s it going now? Are you confident about the Star Divine Trial?”

“Almost.” Lin Qing nodded, “I see Master Qi’s Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall is doing quite well, it’s already become a high school course?”

“I’ve made a few more improvements, but unfortunately, it’s still quite difficult for ordinary people to cultivate to the point of genetic awakening through this.” Qi Lingxiao slightly shook his head, “We’ll have to wait for Chu Hongjun to replenish Earth’s energy.”

“So it was Dean Chu’s doing after all.” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

“Chu Hongjun said he’s preparing to replenish Earth’s energy three times, each cycle taking about a hundred and ten years. This way, the Earth’s population can optimize their genes to the point where they can achieve genetic awakening from birth,” Qi Lingxiao said.

Lin Qing suddenly realized, saying: “Three hundred years? That’s not very fast.”

“It’s quite fast.”

A calm voice sounded, as usual, the white-coated Chu Hongjun appeared and said: “After the Initial Humans emerged on Earth, it took tens of thousands of years for Earth to accumulate enough energy. Now it’s shortened to a hundred and ten years, which is quite fast.”

Irenado also came in, though she wasn’t wearing her nun attire today, appearing more casually.

“Alright.” Lin Qing didn’t quite understand, but with intelligent central brain decision-making, there was nothing to worry about.

“How many people are there on Earth now?” Lin Qing asked curiously.

“Thirteen billion seven hundred million.” Chu Hongjun said.

“That many people? No wonder…”

Lin Qing glanced at the Entropy panel, and now the Order Level had reached over eighty thousand, not far from a hundred thousand.

More than a hundred years ago, Earth had only eight billion people.

Now it has increased tenfold, which is why the Order Level is so high.

But the number of powerful individuals didn’t increase much, so the Order Level hasn’t broken a hundred thousand.

“This imitation of the 1.9 Level Civilization Cloud Country’s Sky City is most suitable for increasing living space and population on a Life Star. Plus, with sufficient resources purchased by the Golden Commerce, increasing to over a hundred billion in just over a hundred years isn’t fast.”

Chu Hongjun said: “It mainly took twenty years to adjust societal ideology. People used to advocate non-marriage or non-parenting, and changing that takes time. Otherwise, there would be at least two trillion people by now.”
