Don't go to the moon, there are gods on the far side of the moon.

The first reply from the Deep Space Divine Court was quieter than anyone had imagined.

There was no beam of light.

There was no alarm.

There wasn't even any entity that could be detected by radar.

It's just that the background noise of all deep space observation systems worldwide is one order lower.

It's as if someone in the universe, far away, gently suppressed the noise.

Qin Lan stood in the main control room of the joint department, her face extremely grim.

"All nodes report."

"Background noise at Northern Hemisphere observatories has decreased."

"Synchronized in the Southern Hemisphere".

"The lighthouse signal on the far side of the moon is stable, but its brightness has decreased by seven percent."

"The close-range patrol shadow has ceased its movement."

Xu Wangshu looked up at the main screen.

In near-Earth orbit, the surveillance image, like a black bookmark pinned to a spot, hangs motionless outside the Earth. It had just reported the independent revision rules for Earth to the Deep Space Court. Now, it awaits a reply.

Everyone is waiting.

The flashlight in the toolbox emitted a very weak beam.

Lin Jibai's voice came from inside, a little clearer than yesterday, but still sounded like static from an old radio.

"This doesn't feel good."

Lu Chengong leaned back in the treatment chair, the broken bow fragments sealed inside a transparent stabilizing shield.

"You can even share your feelings now?"

"It's not about sharing," Lin Jibai said. "It's like someone taking a look from outside the lighthouse."

Xu Wangshu immediately turned to the moon map.

"Is there any contact between the outer layer of the lighthouse on the far side of the moon and the outer layer?"

The lunar chart provides a response.

No physical contact was detected.

[Boundary gaze detected.]

Boundary gaze.

This word silenced everyone in the control room.

The Northern Heavenly Gate Patrol Shadow was already troublesome enough, and it was merely a border alarm system. Now, for the first time, the true Deep Space Divine Court has turned its attention to this place.

Lin Xiaoman sat by the medical pod, her face still a little pale, holding her father's employee badge in her hands.

"Will it ask questions like it does at the North Heavenly Gate?"

Just as Xu Wangshu was about to answer, the main screen suddenly lit up.

There are no words.

First, there was a picture.

Countless points of light hung in the darkness, each with an extremely thin line running beneath it, the other end of which led to a blue-white planet.

Earth.

Then, the image began to change.

The thin threads were gathered, compressed, and woven together to form a thick main rope, on which four ancient characters were suspended.

[Pending return to normalcy.]

Xu Wangshu's eyes instantly turned cold.

"It views the human world as an order awaiting its return."

Qin Lan asked, "What do you mean?"

"It hasn't been archived yet, but it should be."

Lu Chengong cursed under his breath.

"Can these guys stop talking so rudely?"

The Deep Space Divine Court finally uttered its first line of text.

[Border verification received.]

[Confirmed: Independent rules for modification exist in the human realm.]

[Confirmed: The person in charge has refused to submit the information.]

[Confirmed: The human side refused to submit the main coordinates.]

[Confirmed: Humans refuse to hand over the Gonggong variable.]

Lin Jibai's flashlight flashed once.

"It's quite vengeful."

No one laughed.

The next line appears.

[Preliminary assessment: Human autonomy has entered an abnormally mature stage.]

Qin Lan frowned.

"Abnormal maturation period?"

Wen Zhaolin sat to the side and said in a low voice, "In the old Heavenly Court system, once an autonomous civilization develops self-correcting rules, it will be judged as difficult to manage. They will not be eliminated immediately, but will first request a review."

Xu Wangshu looked at him.

"How did you know?"

Wen Zhaolin smiled bitterly.

"Tianheng has only deciphered fragments of border laws; it's incomplete."

"Then why didn't you mention it back then?" Lu Chenggong said coldly.

Wen Zhaolin remained silent.

This question no longer needs to be answered.

Back then, he only saw the promotion, not the price the Divine Court would pay.

The Deep Space Divine Court continued to send messages.

[Requirement: Submit a sample of the rules for self-cultivation in the human realm.]

[Requirement: Submit a rule patch to fix the core issue.]

[Requirement: Submit your process for avoiding the use of fire.]

Xu Wangshu stared at the second one.

Rule-fixing core.

Previously, the Inspectorate had already identified her. Now, the Deep Space Divine Court has repeated this request.

Lin Jibai's voice immediately turned cold.

"I won't pay."

Xu Wangshu pressed down on the moon map.

"Of course I won't pay."

Qin Lan looked at her.

"But we have to respond."

"A response is acceptable," Xu Wangshu said, "but submission is not."

She quickly wrote a reply.

[Users can submit publicly available rule samples.]

[No living entity, personality, memory, or personal judgment model will be submitted as the core of the rules.]

[The fire avoidance process only submits the results and boundaries, not the Mars coordinates.]

Before sending it, she added a sentence.

The human world is not a waiting-for-order system.

Humanity is currently undergoing self-cultivation.

After these two sentences were sent, the Deep Space Divine Court remained silent for a long time.

It went on for so long that everyone thought it would just bring down a penalty.

But what appeared in the end was not a ruling.

It is a new review order.

Please prove that self-study was not out of control.

Xu Wangshu looked at the line of words and suddenly understood.

This is the real question for the next ten chapters.

The Deep Space Divine Court no longer asked them if they had a person in charge.

It began to ask, what is the difference between free self-correction and chaos out of control?

And this is a question that no one can easily answer for humanity.
