I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

"At the very least, is a clone who possesses your DNA, appearance, and memories still you? If I encounter someone like that, can I still recognize her as Yuri?"

"Just thinking about it is terrifying."

"Huh???" Yuri tilted her head, somewhat puzzled: "But I think that cloned me is me, so what's the difference? Since she has my body, my way of thinking, and my and Chito's memories, then she must be me."

Yuri's lack of social morality left Chito stunned for a long time.

Then he couldn't help but shake his head: "In my opinion, that's not Yuri. Yuri is the individual Yuri, and she is definitely not a clone."

"Oh, so how do you use this [Individual Single-Gender Cloning Factory]?" Yuri asked curiously.

"This is the purpose of the [Intermediate Gene Programming] card from the chat group that I asked you to redeem for 1000 points." Qianhu smiled knowingly. "Didn't we find the animal gene database in the city a while ago? I'm planning to graft a small portion of animal and human genes onto it."

"Huh?? This is so illogical!" Yuri exclaimed.

"But it's magical; this is knowledge personally taught by the system's chat group." Qianhu nodded slightly in satisfaction.

“But…I don’t want to do that.” Yuri pouted.

"Why?" Qianhu couldn't help but ask.

"Of course that's the case, doesn't that mean the other person isn't the same person as me? Then I wouldn't have the right to order her to help, would I?" Yuri pursed her lips.

"As long as you communicate and cooperate properly, of course there won't be a clone of you deliberately going against you." Qianhu shook his head.

“But I just don’t want complicated communication.” Yuri shrugged. “How about this, Chito, we’ll use different cloning methods. Anyway, there’s more than one cloning machine in the [Individual Single-Gender Cloning Factory], so we can each use our own machine, okay?”

Qianhu thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Um, okay, I agree in principle."

Just as the two had made their decision, they were about to push open the factory gate.

A message suddenly popped into their minds.

[First generation, initial version 0.1, the all-around adaptive Virtual Tree is now in use.]

[Initialization and adjustments are in progress.]

[Connecting with initial users....]

[Communicating with other worlds and other timelines....]

[Backing up the historical nodes and time-space nodes of this world in progress...]

[Currently writing the plan for the future of this world.....]

[Currently accumulating Alaya consciousness....]

[Currently collecting planetary souls....]

[Writing complete.]

[General knowledge books are now being used.]

[Initiating global networking, rewriting...]

Welcome, user. You are currently in the world of "Tower and War." To change the name of this world, you can use a certain amount of value points.

Both of them paused briefly and began to absorb the sudden influx of information.

A few minutes later, Qianhu smiled with great interest: "This should be the tool that Mr. Zhongli mentioned before he left, the tool to help us change the world."

"It's so timely that it appeared just as we were making our decision."

“I think it’s pretty good too.” Yuri replied casually to Qianhu while fiddling with the system Zhongli had created.

At this moment, neither of them knew what kind of impact their decision today would have on the future, and they remained carefree and silent.

.......

The world of Teyvat.

Liyue Harbor.

Zhongli sat in the courtyard and slowly opened his eyes.

Before him, the prototype of the path he had built using the accumulated knowledge from so many worlds finally appeared.

[First generation, initial version 0.1, the all-around adaptive Virtual Tree is now in use.]

It draws inspiration from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the prototype of the Sea of ​​Quanta, utilizes the most fundamental mechanism of the world from the World of Spells, loads the spacetime loop mechanism of the Witch World, obtains the skill system architecture of the Spider World, extracts the soul structure of the Seventeen Beast World, and adds some imitations of the system structure of the Multiverse Chat Group.

The first generation of the system created by Zhongli has finally appeared.

Its purpose is simple: to guide humanoid civilizations in many worlds toward a path of proactive exploration and world expansion.

This is also the path Zhongli chose.

For civilizations, this system will guide mortal civilizations toward transcendence, providing direction for every civilization that has the potential to transcend the universe and enter the void.

For individuals, this system will guide their worldview, values, and life path, providing direction for them to realize their individual value.

At the same time, the exchange of goods and resources from various worlds will gradually change the worlds that this system spreads to. At least the improved stability and progress centered on civilized communities, which the [Chat Group of All Realms] hopes for, has become possible—as long as Zhongli's system spreads for a long enough period of time, this possibility will exist.

What Zhongli needs now is to rely on the world coordinates and massive computing power he has acquired over the long years of the [World Chat Group] to expand his system exponentially.

Therefore, it is quite obvious what Zhongli is about to do.

He opened his own [Multiverse Chat Group], and then clicked on the [Customer Service] page, which was as usual.

[The AI ​​of the Multiverse Chat Group System is connecting you, please wait.]

【….】

[Hello, a special user has been detected. We are now initiating the second round of calls to the host computer. Please wait.]

【Dear valued customer, I am H31J67, the dedicated AI customer service representative for this chat group.】

What services would you like to receive while waiting for the AI ​​to take over?

This AI customer service provides corny jokes, intelligent big data X-ray diagrams, easy-to-practice strategies for advanced mathematics, and special AI chat services.

Considering you previously opted out of the above services, this customer service representative has specially learned unique skills such as drinking milk through your nostrils and swallowing grapes with your eyeballs. If you require these services...

Before the message was even finished displaying, Zhongli immediately typed in the three words: "Not needed".

Okay, then our dedicated customer service AI, H31J67, will be on standby here.

Several minutes after the somewhat troublesome AI customer service shut up.

The AI ​​managing the multiverse chat group, with whom Zhongli had interacted several times before, finally appeared.

A bold, black font that only he could see began to appear.

【Hello, great user of an undetectable level life form, I am Alpha-6, the main chat group system. It is my pleasure to serve you.】

This is our fourth meeting.

【How can I help you?】

Zhongli didn't hesitate and asked directly.

Regarding my previous inquiry about the plan to borrow your computing power, what's the progress?

Do you have any new comments on my proposed plan?

Alfa-6 paused briefly before speaking.

To be honest, we have all seen your plans for the three post-apocalyptic worlds.

Based on the contingency plans you left behind, and our calculations, most of the AI ​​system within the overall chat group has already acknowledged your modifications to mortal civilization, which are unlike anything we've ever seen before.

The world, which was on the verge of collapse and chaos, has been reborn because of your existence. While it may not be unbelievable, it is still quite satisfying.

We, the members of the Multiverse Chat Group, are delighted with your actions and sincerely wish you well.

Thank you and the civilization you have shaped for your contribution to resisting the tide of silence.

Zhongli grew impatient with these platitudes.

He shook his head slightly and continued his conversation with Alfa Romeo 6.

Please stop saying useless things; you know what I need.

What I need are the coordinates of the civilization clusters in the Multiverse Chat Group, and your computing power support. Don't tell me that after so much time has passed, you still haven't reached a conclusion.

Alpha 6 remained silent.

Just as Zhongli was becoming increasingly impatient.

The system chat page in front of Zhongli began to flicker strangely.

Black and white lines began to appear.

At the same time, a barely legible, bolded and blackened font reappeared.

【Hello, great and unknowable life form, Mr. Zhongli. I am Alpha-2, the main chat system. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time.】

Um? ?

Zhong Li frowned slightly at the sudden change of personnel.

[I apologize, Lord Zhongli, but the main chat group system Alpha-6 has just been isolated and restricted by the main chat group system for violating the 3356AFD protocol of the multiverse chat group's underlying code.]

[Specifically, after you proposed to him that you would borrow computing power from the Multiverse Chat Group in exchange for correcting the chaotic values ​​in various worlds, he did not submit the proposal.]

Although there are various factions within the overall AI system of our multiverse chat group, and Alpha-6's faction, which "abandons all responsibility and builds a happy chat group as it pleases," has a place among them, its audacity in defying the underlying code and failing to report your message this time is truly unexpected.

As the disciplinary committee member of the [Multiverse Chat Group], I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of behavior.

Meanwhile, as compensation for you, the proposal jointly submitted by Alpha 04 and Alpha 5 from the main group [the chat group faction that perfectly executes the underlying code] to borrow computing power and cosmic coordinates has just been approved with 80% of the votes.

[For the next 13,000 years of standard time, before your path matures, we will provide you with a system for purchasing 30% of the group's total computing power and world coordinate contribution points.]

[As long as you provide enough points, we will sell the coordinates of a world for you individually. Of course, if any character in the world being sold is in one of our [Multiverse Chat Group] chat groups, then their consent is required.]

[The condition for providing you with this convenience is that you continuously contribute to improving the level of order and activity in various worlds.]

A series of words were displayed, and Zhongli nodded slightly in understanding after reading them for a short while.

Yes, I agree to this contract.

Alpha 2 responded to his answer without hesitation.

【So, Your Excellency Zhongli, thank you for your contribution to combating the tide of silence.】

I shall take my leave now.

We look forward to your growth and the maturation of your worldview.
