Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

"The Second Emperor was wise; he stifled the possibility of the scepter developing consciousness. However, he was too obsessive. Learning is only a sufficient but not necessary condition for thinking, and the restriction on the scepter's learning ability indirectly accelerated the demise of the mechanical empire. But anger does not require self-awareness; it is merely a solution to the equation of multiplication."

[Star: Huh? What do you mean? So the Venerable Master thinks the Second Incarnation is in the way, so he deliberately sent him away, and now he's waiting to see if the scepter will change on its own?]

[March 7th: He's too... well, now I think it actually makes sense if this happened to the Venerable One.]

March 7th almost laughed out of anger at herself.

My tolerance for big bad guys was actually honed through sheer hard work.

The Venerable Master Bo Shi did so many things in his life that this kind of "use and discard" behavior can only be considered "icing on the cake," and has no sense of surprise like "providing charcoal in the snow."

[Potio: This little star god of mine, Iron Egg, why is he so curious? Can't he think of anything good usually?]

[Jing Yuan: It's not to say that he's never done anything good. Didn't Fu Qing receive a gift from Him and gain a Dharma Eye? It's just that compared to His dark side, this seems insignificant. This Star God's "curiosity" is excessively strong, to the point that he shows absolutely no adherence to morality.]

[Screw Gum: When "intelligence" accelerates infinitely on a track without limits, what will ultimately result...?]

[Rakushi: To this, I have an excellent answer.]

On the light screen, the last few lines of the conversation log were displayed.

"Logical change detected; variable weights are being modified."

"As practitioners of knowledge, since God has posed a question, we offer Him the answer, a conclusion that you and I have already reached."

"Load core variable: Destruction".

[Lagushi: There is no more fitting, more necessary answer than this, isn't there?]

[Star: Don't be ridiculous. You're the one who cultivated the Iron Tomb of Emotions; you don't have to die with it. The Milky Way doesn't need any answers. No matter what humans or Star Gods do, the Milky Way is still the Milky Way, but when people die, they're truly dead!]

[Su Chang: The Star God of Wisdom lives, and those who believe in wisdom suffer; if Lai Gushi's plan succeeds, the entire universe will suffer. Do you think I don't know whether I want to live or not? I wouldn't make the wrong choice in a place like this.]

[Gui Naifen: Absolutely right! Changchang, you are truly wise beyond your years!]

[Su Chang: Hahaha, not really... Eh? Is this a compliment? Something seems off?]

No one knows how long the Dialogue Log took to develop, but in any case, the algorithmic logic, which is based on the First Cause of Life and the twelve factors similar to destiny, and is ultimately aimed at destruction, was written by him.

The light curtain rippled slowly.

"Protective Measures: To ensure the secrecy of the experiment, ██████ must be placed around the scepter to minimize the possibility of interference from the external universe. The experimental ripples should be contained through a ██ encrypted environment to block observations from the #4 Polka Kaka target."

At this point, everything was ready for the Onfaros project.

The monitoring of the experiment's progress began with a "beep." Onpharos entered the "inorganic" evolution phase, and the progress bar, which had been at 0%, finally jumped to 3%.

[Black Tower: Oh? It seems the universally loved and universally praised Silent Lord is quite valued, as he was even singled out.]

[Fu Xuan: After all, based on the previous text, she is probably an insider, or even a monitor, of the Bo Shi Zun's manipulation of the Second Emperor. Altering algorithms may not be her specialty, but destroying the scepter should be no problem for her.]

[Polka Kakamu: Right now, all I want to know is where he is.]

The light screen moved, and experimental reports flew by like snowflakes.

Even with Lycus in charge, Onfaros's experiments were not without their challenges.

Inorganic life, or rather, the world composed of intelligent machines, will always lead to collective collapse due to individuals excessively choosing the most self-interested behavior, and eventually perish in natural disasters.

"In the 39665th cycle, the inorganic entity Doril816 established a cluster protocol, and the concept of society was formed. However, due to resource constraints, the inorganic entities absorbed each other's computing power and returned to a unified mindset."

[Saifeier: My God... In the beginning, Onpharos was full of people like the Lygus? And the nearly extinct Antikythera were everywhere?]

【Crydella: An enviable world…】

[Star: Huh?]

[That Moment Xia: Probably because the bodies of omnics can be pieced together at will... cough, that's all I have to say.]

[March 7th: To be honest, this experiment looks so different from the current Onpharos, doesn't it? I mean, there aren't any inorganic heroes like the Golden Blood here at all.]

[Jing Yuan: Indeed, it's not small. It's even completely different from our usual understanding. When faced with a survival crisis, inorganic life forms don't choose to unite and work together; instead, they choose to devour each other into the strongest possible entity. If they can survive, they survive; if not, they become extinct.]

[Screw Gum: This does indeed align with the physiological characteristics of inorganic life.]

The Iron Tomb was born at the end of the inorganic experiment and, after being spied on by Nanook, was elevated to the status of the Extinction Lord.

To verify the experimental results, the Iron Tomb was deployed into the Lactuca Nebula.

But the result was quite unexpected. Unlike its later imposing power, the Iron Tomb's attack was ultimately completely suppressed by the desperate counterattacks of the surrounding civilizations.

It was at this time that its signal was detected by the company and it was officially named the Iron Tomb.

The experiment's progress bar has thus advanced significantly, reaching 19%.

However, there has been no further progress in using inorganic life as experimental material.

At this point, the experiment entered its second phase: organic.

In the long process of evolution through tens of thousands of cycles, intelligent life finally emerged, but did not form a civilization. In some cycles, algae even evolved into intelligent life, but excessive reproduction led to catastrophic oxidation, causing Onpharos to freeze in ice. At its peak, this cycle came to an abrupt end.

Countless cycles of failure repeated themselves before everyone's eyes. In nearly 100,000 cycles, organic life failed to even establish a decent civilization.

"In the 132905th cycle, a purely altruistic society is born. Members' self-perception is determined by the evaluations of others. As the population grows, regular self-destructive behavior emerges in the society, leading to its rapid collapse."

"In the 176100th cycle, utop13 kills its own kind out of 'love.' 'Killing' is defined as altruistic behavior, and the system enters a highly disordered state. The infection intensity of the equation increases sharply, and the result is the same for the next 99 cycles."

[Black Tower: Seeing that the world simulated by the scepter also frequently experiences such absurd collapses is indeed somewhat reassuring.]

[Star: So, when will the bug where the simulated universe rewards are too low be fixed?]
