615: Core Awareness

"Alright, I hope Optimus Prime hasn't been born yet..." Tang Ku muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Ge Gang hadn't heard Tang Ku clearly and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, just thought of an old acquaintance from my memories!"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, then said, "Right, there's one more thing I'd like to ask about!"

Ge Gang chuckled, "Feel free to ask. Your coming to see me is actually destined, and I am also destined to resolve your confusion!"

Tang Ku thought for a moment, then said, "Everyone keeps talking about fighting for the position of Order Lord... How exactly does one compete for this position? Is it purely based on combat? Or does it involve testing Heart-Nature or something?"

"That is the great Divine Ability of the New Saint!" Ge Gang said in a deep voice.

"The original Order Lord was actually created by Hongjun specifically to keep the Pangu Great God in check, but Hongjun messed up, because the previous Order Lord was almost completely biased towards humanity..."

"However, the Lord of Chaos was his subordinate, and in terms of pure combat power, the Lord of Chaos was streets ahead of the Order Lord..."

"Therefore, the New Saint modified certain rules in the Universe, which is that when testing Heart-Nature, the Order Lord also needs to be someone who can fight..."

"Yes, you heard me right, someone who can fight! The previous Order Lord was killed because he couldn't beat the Chaos, so we really need someone who can fight to inherit the position of Order Lord!"

"So, why fight for it?" Tang Ku was still confused.

"The New Saint established new rules: whoever believes they have the ability to hold this Order can launch an assault on this position. When you have defeated all opponents, that is when you receive the Universe's certification!"

Ge Gang said in a deep voice, "At that time, the Laws of the Universe, which are the rules of the Heavenly Dao, will descend and directly transform you into the Order Lord!"

"In other words, a fight is unavoidable?" Tang Ku smiled bitterly.

"If you don't fight, the rules of the Heavenly Dao won't appear, and the Order Lord won't appear either!" Ge Gang sighed.

"Do you know why I must fight for this Order Lord position?"

Tang Ku also sighed: "Because the Order Lord masters the power of Order, which can restore your homeland to its original order, right?"

"Exactly!" Ge Gang clenched his fists and said, "This restoration of order isn't just simple order; the Order Lord can allow our core souls to return to the bodies of my compatriots..."

As he spoke, a burst of light suddenly shone from his chest, dazzling and bright... It was actually a circular azure energy body, surrounded on the outside by a structure resembling a human DNA double helix.

"This is our soul, which can also be called a Spark!" Ge Gang said in a deep voice, "When the time comes, all the Sparks will return, allowing Cybertron to regain its true vitality!"

"Besides that... what else are you missing?" Tang Ku saw the key point and suddenly asked.

"You are really smart, seeing the clues instantly... That's right, the planet's core energy exists, but the core consciousness does not. Even Order cannot restore the core consciousness; this is something I have long since verified..."

"That's right, Cybertron itself is a huge mechanical life form, and this core energy furnace is actually its Spark. Unless I can find an artificial intelligence that can replace the core consciousness, otherwise, even if I become the Order, or whoever becomes the Order, it will be impossible to help me repair Cybertron!"

Ge Gang said helplessly. Tang Ku was silent, because he seemed to have thought of a problem.

"Cybertron, Primal Celestial Lord, AllSpark..." Tang Ku sorted out his thoughts in his mind, then suddenly smiled bitterly, "So that's how it is, it's actually like this... Alright, actually, you don't need to worry about this..."

"Hmm? You have a way?" Ge Gang said in shock, "If you really have a way, then our battle can begin!"

Tang Ku thought for a moment, then said, "Don't be in a hurry, there are still some things to ask clearly..."

They returned all the way to the original apron, only to see the two sisters sitting on the ground, playing Gomoku on a virtual chessboard, while Zun Zun on the side was gesturing and laughing loudly.

"Ahem ahem... Hmm..." Tang Ku coughed at the few of them, then said, "We're back! Right, I have a question to ask you, you must answer carefully!"

Seeing him return, Tang Xuan immediately threw down the chessboard and ran over, chuckling: "Ask away, I'm waiting!"

"Fangirl!" Tang Xian walked over disdainfully, but before he got close, he felt his ear ache again and couldn't help but exclaim, "Spare me, sister!"

Tang Ku watched this farce and couldn't help but smile knowingly, then said in a deep voice: "This question is very complicated, can you answer it?"

Tang Xian patted his chest: "Feel free to ask!"

"In this New Universe... do Saints simply not exist?" Tang Ku asked with a smile.

"Uh..." Tang Xian was suddenly a bit confused, he turned to look at Tang Xuan and said, "Sister... Dad doesn't seem to have told me about this!"

"Let me answer you!" Seeing that Tang Xuan was also hesitant, Ge Gang suddenly walked over and said, "In the New Universe, there is indeed no existence of Saints; everything about them is formed through programming..."

"Then the question arises, since Saints like Primal Celestial Lord do not exist, who created this Zun Zun in front of us?" Tang Ku asked with a smile.

"This... is really hard to answer!" Tang Xuan looked back at Zun Zun's virtual image and said: "Do you know your own origins?"

"I only know that my name is exactly the same as Primal Celestial Lord, as for why I am called this name, and my background, I have no idea!" Zun Zun thought very distressfully.

"Zun Zun is a high-tech artificial intelligence created by the real Primal Celestial Lord in the Original Universe!" Ge Gang said as if he knew the story well, "Primal Celestial Lord was a famous shut-in among the Saints, and when it came to the development of technological power, no one dared to compare with him!"

"Hehe, I think the New Saint putting Zun Zun on Earth in the New Universe was not without reason!" Tang Ku chuckled, "Zun Zun, do you want to be a core consciousness or something on this planet?"

Zun Zun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you serious? You're not joking?"

"Can you joke about this kind of thing?" Tang Ku rolled his eyes and said, "If you're willing, you're willing; if not, we'll think of another way!"

"Do you know what it means to be a core consciousness? That would be the most glorious part of my life!" Zun Zun roared excitedly, "Only a fool wouldn't want to; what a great opportunity to upgrade!"

Tang Ku couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I think I know how the electronic planet Cybertron came to be... Damn, is this the Saint's bad taste?"
