Chapter 1449: Conversation With Emperor’s Heart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After they left the meeting room, the two walked a distance along the promenade before Lin Huang finally asked, “Can you tell me what this is about now?”
“Emperor’s Heart wants to see you . ”
Jiang Shan stopped and activated screen barriers before he turned and confronted Lin Huang .
“Emperor’s Heart?” Lin Huang was not expecting this answer and was a little surprised . “It’s sentient?”
He raised this question because, apart from Goldfinger, he had not seen any god relic or god rule relic with sentience . Even a god sequence relic like Thousand Face only had a weak consciousness and did not have the ability to think independently .
“It has always been sentient . ” Jiang Shan nodded and gave an affirmative answer, but these words seemed to have a deeper meaning to it .
Lin Huang fell into silence as he contemplated the messages from Jiang Shan’s words .
1 . Emperor’s Heart was not a product of the new era—it may have come from a certain ruin or wasteland .
2 . From the very moment it was discovered, Emperor’s Heart had been sentient .
3 . Emperor’s Heart had the ability to communicate with humans, and it should have reached a certain cooperative relationship with the Union Government .
After he summed up the few pieces of information, the first thought that popped into Lin Huang’s mind was—Artificial Intelligence .
Before Lin Huang traveled over, Artificial Intelligence was also one of the developing areas of science and technology . Many giant technology companies had established specialized departments and developed many derivative products such as drones, sweeping robots, smart translators, et cetera .
However, the development of artificial intelligence on earth was still in its infancy stage, and it was still far from advanced artificial intelligence .
However, Lin Huang vaguely felt that Emperor’s Heart might be an advanced piece of artificial intelligence .
Otherwise, it was impossible for it to build the Emperor’s Heart network throughout the entire gravel world on its own . After all, this world had no programmers .
In an instant, Lin Huang had a whirlpool of thoughts in his mind, but the last thing he said out loud was one short sentence .
“Why does it want to see me?”
Jiang Shan was telling the truth—he did not know why Emperor’s Heart suddenly wanted to see Lin Huang . When he received the news from Emperor’s Heart, he was no less surprised than Lin Huang .
Lin Huang could also tell that he did not lie . He nodded slightly and did not press Jiang Shan any further .
After he deactivated the screen barrier, Jiang Shan summoned a dimensional portal, and Lin Huang followed him into it .
Lin Huang was not wary of Jiang Shan potentially plotting against him . With his current ability, there was really nothing that could threaten him in this gravel world, whether it was people, monsters, battlefields, battle formations, or weapons .
However, he was still on guard against Emperor’s Heart .
If it was Artificial Intelligence, it may possess weapons beyond this gravel world . If it was a Goldfinger, it likely had mastered a terrifying unknown power .

As he pondered the matter, the dimensional portal opened .
Lin Huang collected his thoughts, followed Jiang Shan, and stepped out of the portal .
The underground cave in front of him was not unfamiliar to Lin Huang .
Two years ago, Guan Zhong brought him here when he unlocked his Emperor’s Heart ring .
The giant sphere was still suspended in the void . The entire structure looked like it was constructed from the roots of countless trees, layered on top of each other, but there were round holes on the surface . It looked a bit like a huge honeycomb .
As Lin Huang considered his next move, a deep voice of a middle-aged man resounded .
“Jiang Shan, I want to be alone with Lin Huang for a while . ”
The sound was transmitted from the inside of the sphere .
Jiang Shan nodded slightly in the direction of the sphere, then turned and addressed Lin Huang, “Then I shall leave first . ”
As he spoke, he turned around, pushed open the dimensional portal again, and stepped into it . Soon, the dimensional portal was closed and gradually faded away .
When he saw Jiang Shan leave, Lin Huang raised his vigilance slightly and looked at the sphere in the void with scorching eyes .
At this moment, the suspended sphere suddenly squirmed, and the structure that looked like plant roots moved like living tentacles and quickly condensed into the shape of a human head . Its face had a full set of facial features . Its hair was thick, and it had a bushy beard and a sideburn .

When he saw that, Lin Huang was visibly taken aback, but soon recovered his composure .
“Hello, Lin Huang . I’m Emperor’s Heart . ”
The bearded head was the first to offer a greeting .
“Hello,” Lin Huang responded quickly .
“No need to be nervous, I have no ill intentions . ” The bearded head seemed to notice Lin Huang’s heightened guard . “Although it is the first official meeting between you and me today, I actually knew about you ages ago and have been observing you silently . ”
After he heard this, Lin Huang still did not lower his guard . “When you say ages ago, how early do you mean?”
“The first day that you traveled over . ” Emperor’s Heart had a faint smile on his face, he seemed to expect that Lin Huang would not guess his answer .
When he heard the answer, Lin Huang’s expression stiffened slightly . He never expected that he had entered the sight of Emperor’s Heart so early on .
“The day was June 6th five years ago, the exact time was 8:08 in the morning . ” Emperor’s Heart even offered a more precise time .
Lin Huang’s heart jumped when he heard it . Of course, he clearly remembered the specific time he had traveled over, and it was exactly the time Emperor’s Heart stated .
“The reason I know it so clearly is because the Emperor’s Heart ring you wore was abnormal for a moment on that day . Your life fluctuation disappeared for an instant . Although it returned to normal in the next instant, I still caught it . I knew that the moment Lin Huang’s parasite body died, you traveled here . ”
“You know about the existence of travelers… so you are a Goldfinger?!” Lin Huang realized the identity of Emperor’s Heart at this moment .

“That’s right,” Emperor’s Heart readily admitted .
“Who is your host?” Lin Huang pressed .
“My host died a long time ago . ” Emperor’s Heart’s answer did not surprise Lin Huang .
“I’m asking about the current host . Without a host, how can you function as a Goldfinger?”
“If you only perform part of the function, you don’t need to have a host . A temporary host is fine,” Emperor’s Heart explained . “Do you remember the Stairway Tree? That is my current host . ”
“Stairway Tree?!” Lin Huang certainly knew about the Stairway Tree in the genius organization, it was the largest tree he had ever seen in his life . “But isn’t that just a virtual thing on the Internet?”
“Why can’t virtual things act as a host?” Emperor’s Heart retorted . “The essence of consciousness is information . The network can store information, so why can’t it store consciousness?”
“Okay . ” Lin Huang conceded that Emperor’s Heart had a point . It had the ability to digitalize their own consciousness, so it was not impossible to hide the ontology in the network .
“I think we should go straight to the topic . What do you want with me?” Lin Huang changed the subject .
“Mainly two things . One is about Myriad Tribe Palace, the other is related to my host . ”
