Chapter 60 The Story of Jeyuri and Zijing
“Has the sky changed?”
Elus, frowning, a hint of doubt flickering in her crimson eyes.
“Yes, Your Highness Elus… Do you remember, I mentioned that Castor was the third Director-General of the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom Research Institute, and I was the second Director-General. So, who was the first Director-General?”
“……”
“It was the artificial intelligence, Miss Jeyuri. However, what she did was so inconceivable that even the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom considered it too bizarre, so all records about her were completely sealed in history.”
“What did she do?”
“She actually copied her own consciousness onto many other people…”
“!!!”
“Doesn’t Jeyuri have the ability to hypnotize? In fact, it can also subtly transfer its own thoughts and ideas to others. Although the appearance of those influenced by it will not change, they have actually become Jeyuri’s replications, with thoughts, values, and will almost all the same as Jeyuri.”
Miss Four’s words made Elus and Lonis gasp.
Because this kind of thing sounded like…
… “Yes, it’s like everyone was infected by some kind of virus and turned into robots. People on the streets, although their appearances were different, although their ages were different, they were all doing the same thing, all chanting the same slogans.”
“……”
“We are one in spirit, we work together, our goals are the same, so there is absolutely no war or division – that’s what people said.”
“Can that guy achieve this kind of thing?”
“Yes, I was also scared silly. I had just been born then, and I didn’t have this state of mind… And Jeyuri’s replications were still distributing leaflets, inviting everyone to accept replication and enjoy that sense of collective belonging.”
“Isn’t this like a cult?”
“Yes, but at that time, humanity had already ‘repelled’ the Yixiu civilization and the Supreme civilization. So, Jeyuri’s approach, to some extent, aligned with the future of the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom. Because once there were no external enemies, humans would start infighting again. The knowledge and technology from the Supreme civilization and the Yixiu civilization were like gold, making people flock to them and fight over them.”
“……”
“And Jeyuri’s approach undoubtedly reduced internal strife in the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom. It made the entire country unprecedentedly united. Moreover, Jeyuri also set up a factory and prepared to have everyone undergo modification.”
“Modification?”
“Yes, regardless of gender, everyone’s body would be modified into the same intersex state. This way, everyone’s appearance, lifespan, assets, personality, time, and future could be completely equal and fair. People would not form factions due to differences, nor would they create any classes or small groups.”
Eight-tailed Fox sighed, to this day, she still couldn’t forget the shock it brought her at that time.
Elus and Bai Ye also looked at each other. Regardless of whether Jeyuri’s approach was good or bad, what she did could truly be considered crazy.
…
“But in the end, she didn’t succeed, right?”
“Yes, because the purple-haired youth who bullied me earlier came forward to stop her.”
“Purple-haired youth…”
“Yes, she’s actually a girl named Zijing. She seems to have inextricable ties with the Sun God Lonis and the Moon Goddess Tsukimi Shimo. She came to the Independent Kingdom, and no matter how we communicated, she expressed that she completely couldn’t understand Jeyuri’s actions and prepared to stop her by force…”
…
…

…
“Jeyuri, let’s stop here? Your actions are completely wrong.”
The purple-haired youth stormed into the research institute, her purple hair flying in the wind, appearing so clean, sharp, elegant, and dashing.
“Zijing, as the successor of ice technology, the former Queen Zijing, the creator who transformed prisoners into maid puppets… Why can’t you understand my idea?”
Jeyuri tilted her head up, and not only her, but all the Jeyuri replications influenced by her also tilted their heads up.
“Yes, I am a reformer of the new era, and I also like to train others into maid puppets to serve me, but even so… each of my maid puppets is special, they have different appearances, and different personalities. They are definitely not just the same machine, copied and pasted.”
“Heh, so your Zijing Group can only accommodate 7 people? Even with your powerful technology, you can only bring happiness to 7 people, can’t you? But the one I lead is a country!”
“I don’t deny that, but Jeyuri, your idea is undoubtedly wrong… because humans must have differences to evolve. If everyone is the same, then this world will completely stagnate!”
Zijing waved her arms, trying to awaken the confused Jeyuri.
But Jeyuri tilted her head up angrily and said, “Stagnate? How is that possible? A person, even if they don’t communicate with others and live in the wild all by themselves, can still grow through experience and practice! And that kind of growth will be much deeper than the ineffective communication between many humans! Zijing, just you wait and see, my path must be correct.”
“Still so persistent? Then I must stop you by force.”
“Okay… I have the same intention, so let’s use our strength to decide who is right?”
…
————————
…
“After that, Zijing and Jeyuri had a world-shattering battle, but it was a battle without visible smoke. Because both of them were masters of computers and data calculations, they engaged in countless clashes in the virtual world.”
“In the end… did Zijing win?”
Bai Ye was also immersed in the story and couldn’t help but ask.
“No, Bai Ye, according to current history, neither of them won, right?”
“Huh?”
“Because later, the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom took a compromise route?”
Elus sighed, and Eight-tailed Fox also nodded, her eyes filled with emotion, “Yes, in the end, neither of them won, but they both perished.”
“Perished?!”
“Yes, although I don’t know what happened, since then, Jeyuri’s existence, along with Zijing’s existence, disappeared. No one in the world could know anything about the two of them anymore, and I, being related to both of them, was pushed into the position of the second Director-General of the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom.”
As she said this, Four blinked her eyes, showing some regret: “If only I had been as mature and intelligent as I am now, perhaps there would have been a way to prevent Zijing and Jeyuri from dying. But at that time, I was just a naive young girl, I didn’t know who was right or wrong, so I used the modification devices left by Jeyuri to try and compromise, to explore a path unique to me.”
“Eight-tailed Fox…”
“And later, you know what happened, right? I completely preserved my personal will, but I also preserved hypnosis… Although my approach gained public support, and I saved the existence of the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom. But such an ideology was more than happy, but lacked strength. In the end, I was usurped by that guy Castor and exiled to another place.”
“Wuwu…”
…
Listening to Eight-tailed Fox’s narration, Lonis felt a sense of historical vicissitude piled up in her heart.
So, while she was immersed in the Land of Eternity, humanity had made so many unique attempts for the future?
And even after a thousand years, after Lonis had experienced so many things, she still couldn’t use her knowledge and judgment to evaluate whether Jeyuri’s and Zijing’s actions were wrong.
But at least one thing Lonis understood…
The ending where both of them died was so sad.
If she could go back to the past, would she be able to meet Jeyuri or Zijing, and help them resolve their conflicts?
