Lazy Immortal

Ch 3 My bod

The worm hole lead Lan Long's soul to a distant realm. The space surrounding Lan Long was full of energy and this made for a perfect source of energy for the implant. The explosion earlier had caused an anomaly in the implant which caused it to fuse with Lan Long's soul. The fusion was near perfect, it could not be differentiated from Lan Long's soul. The implant now had a near limitless amount of energy and had no nerves or a brain or a body to improve on. The AI decided that in order to fulfill its derivative Lan Long's consciousness needed to be improved. The energy in the surrounding was abundant enough for the AI on the implant to run enough experiments improver on itself and conduct even advance experiments. This lead the implant to gain a rudimentary form of conscience and awakened Lan Long's soul.

"What is happening? Where am I?" Lan Long asked himself. The question was valid as he had never been in such darkness before. He realized that he had no body. When he tried to imagine his body all he could think of was a perfect sphere. The sphere glowed with a warm glow. He looked inside this ball of consciousness only to find the implant firmly imbedded into it. He couldn't remove it no matter what he tried, although things that he tried couldn't be considered an effort but this was all he could imagine at the moment.

While drifting Lan Long tried to sleep but found himself incapable of it. The closest he got to sleep was when he cleared his mind of all thought and drifted along the darkness. This state was close to meditation but more ethereal and calming. Once he entered this state he felt a comfortable sensation wash over himself. He enjoyed in immensely and was always in this state whenever he felt like sleeping. He was left to his thoughts and slowly he learned how to arrange his memories and create a space in his mind. This space was solely designed for easier access to his ethereal state. Whenever possible Lan Long would go through his memories and ponder over how he spent his life. Other times he would try to revise his education, even correct some of his previous worlds misconceptions.

These actions always seemed to proceed normally from Lan Long's perspective but he was doing these things at inhuman speeds. The supercomputers in his previous world would seem like brick and stone in front of Lan Long's computational skills. All of this was still acceptable but Lan Long was still getting faster with each passing moment. Lan Long, who had done literally everything he could to pass the time, was now all out of things that could be done. He had pondered over the meaning of life. He had speculated over all the possible elements. He had thought about space, pondered over time. He had tried putting himself in shoes of other in order experience their life. He was bored enough to device experiments and equations, which lead him to derive the wave functions of the universe. Finally, at this moment he was absolutely out of things to do. He was experiencing boredom, an all-encompassing amount of it. With another he had reached the space in his mind and relaxed his mind, he forgot himself and the passage of time. He had chosen to remain permanently in this state of peace, either until something happened or till his end.

The realm in which the earth was located finally underwent its heat death, until the energies of space and time collided again creating another big bang. A few years passed as the semblance of order emerged and forged the asteroids. In another distance corner, gases had gathered and were compressed to a point of ignition, as such the first star had born. In another few years, Civilization emerged and started its advancement towards technology, wars were waged, until peace was ushered. These people were slightly different from humans as they were paler and had 6 appendages. This civilization set of to the space, exploring new galaxies and encounter other species as the time of wars approached. But this war last far longer than the one on the first planet.

The cycle continued until all the advanced civilizations had run out of energy sources and eventually all sentient life was wiped out from existence. This era had bought forth bizarre living creatures which feed on all forms of matter. They slowly drifted in the space eating everything in their paths until they meet their fellow brother and sisters. This reunion only caused further chaos and they devoured each other until only a single creature remained. This final life form grew as it ate everything in existence and finally reached the later stages of this life. It decayed into nothingness as the realm was again devoid of life.
