The woman's words made Wang Tao somewhat tempted.
Earth has been transformed into an experimental field by the Space-Time Dream Machine, where the power cannot be taken out. However, as long as one can ascend to the tenth rank and leave the Space-Time Dream Machine, they can retain their strength. As for those who are conducting extinction experiments, they do not possess such power!
In other words, if Wang Tao can take this strength out, can he turn the tables?
"Are you sure those people have no power of their own?"
Wang Tao asked.
"Very sure, their technology is very advanced, and they have quite a long lifespan, living for hundreds of years, but their bodies are very weak. The reason they created the Space-Time Dream Machine was actually to make themselves a bit stronger..."
The woman explained with a smile.
Wang Tao was silent for a while, then he looked at the woman with a serious expression.
"One last question, can I trust you? It's all your side of the story..."
Upon hearing this, the woman seemed prepared and took out a crystal core from her bosom, handing it to Wang Tao.
This crystal core showed no grade or attributes and looked quite ordinary, as if it were fake.
"This is..."
I furrowed my brow.
"This is the remote control of the Space-Time Dream Machine. It can integrate into the body like a crystal core. After integration, you can have partial permissions of the Space-Time Dream Machine. Although the permissions are few, you can choose to directly destroy the world, causing you, me, and others to be instantly erased, or you can choose to erase only me, and I will be instantly formatted..."
The woman spoke gently.
"...So, you're putting your life in my hands?"
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
"I can only choose the plan most beneficial to me. Although I can't guarantee you won't kill me directly, I think the likelihood of cooperation is greater... I want to survive, and I can only rely on you."
The woman's expression was very sincere.
Wang Tao, not one to dawdle, seeing the woman say this, immediately placed the crystal core into his mouth.
A moment later, a strange memory appeared in Wang Tao's mind, it was the usage manual for the remote control.
Wang Tao studied it carefully and found that this remote control only had four functions.
The first is a map, which allows him to see everything happening across the entire Earth. It's essentially a greatly enhanced version of his [Super Perception].
The second is erasure. It can directly erase any creature on Earth, including the artificial intelligence before him and even the user himself.
The third is time reversal, returning everything on Earth to before the experiment. However, this function can only be used a maximum of nine times, and it has already reached the limit, so it cannot be used anymore.
The fourth is apocalypse, making Earth completely disappear, though the experimental data will be preserved intact. This function can only be used once to prevent uncontrollable events.
"The functions of this remote control are far fewer than I imagined!"
Wang Tao smacked his lips.
The first map function is very good; not only can he see the conditions of various creatures in the ocean, but he can even see the location of the Space-Time Dream Machine! This Space-Time Dream Machine is outside the atmosphere, rotating with the Earth's spin like a satellite.
The second erasure function is also okay; it can threaten the artificial intelligence's life, but beyond that, it's useless to Wang Tao. Because the creatures erased with this function disappear, no spoils of war drop.
The third time reversal function's usages have run out, so there's no need to mention it.
The fourth apocalypse function is completely unusable; Wang Tao wouldn't choose it.
So for Wang Tao, perhaps the first map function is the most useful.
"After all, those people wouldn't want the experimental field to be out of control, so the permissions given aren't much."
The woman shrugged.
"Alright, then let's give it a try!"
Wang Tao had no other choice.
In three years, those people will come to collect the data, and if they find that humans still live on Earth, they will certainly enact apocalypse. No matter how strong Wang Tao's abilities are, trapped on Earth and unable to leave, he would eventually die.
Though he can only attempt to ascend to the tenth rank during this time, if he succeeds, that's best; if he fails, it doesn't matter, as long as he has no regrets.
"Then here's to a fruitful cooperation; you'll be my master from now on."
The woman extended her hand to Wang Tao for a shake.
Given the current circumstances, Wang Tao's attempt to ascend to the tenth rank is very difficult. Not to mention now, even when the zombie monsters were alive, ascending to the tenth rank remained challenging.
However, if this artificial intelligence is willing to help, it's different; she can devise the optimal training strategy and quickly cultivate the mutated creatures in the sea to the ninth level. Moreover, she has deliberately left some elemental creatures unsummoned, and can slowly summon them over; with a targeted plan, those creatures can actually level up pretty fast... So theoretically, Wang Tao has the opportunity to ascend to the tenth rank. It depends on whether Wang Tao is willing to put in the effort.
After confirming the cooperation, the woman's body slowly disappeared.
"What is your name?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
"I don't have a name, they designated me as 'Revelation.' If you are willing, you can give me a name."
A gentle female voice sounded in Wang Tao's mind.
Wang Tao is bad at naming; after a brief moment of thought, he said:
"Then I'll call you Xiao Lu, taken from the homophonic character 'Lu' in Revelation."
"Thank you, I'll be Xiao Lu from now on."
Though she had been calmly speaking with Wang Tao before, now with a name, one could clearly sense a hint of joy in her tone.
