Li Yao held his breath. He did not expect Professor Mo Xuan to be so outspoken as to tell all the secrets without him asking anything.
Was his professor really up to nothing at all?
"The main focus of our studies in the Virtual Spirits Sector was to perfectly simulate the environment of the material world when life was born. To be more specific, we 'created' a virtual primitive planet first and then added more conditions to it, hoping that it would slowly generate virtual fungi, trilobites, dinosaurs, apes and eventually 'virtual intelligent life'.
"I regret to say that we were too naïve and hasty back then. We completely underestimated the difficulty of creating life and overestimated our computational ability that we could output.
"Or rather, it would've been useless even if we had infinite computational ability, because computational ability was not proportionate to the soul."
"I don't understand," Li Yao said. "Can you explain?"
