I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

"Even if the future is uncertain, it doesn't matter. If humanity cannot bear the pain and responsibility for the mistakes of the past, it is impossible for humanity to truly change."

People are distinguished by elements, and only a few can rise to the top. Unless they are chosen by a higher-level element, most people can only remain at the level of ordinary people forever.

Just like the scene in the earliest courtroom where the puppet's cold face obliterates Isabella, the puppet face represents the law and possesses the power to punish the entire civilization.

When ordinary people witnessed the trial of the guilty, they not only didn't feel anything was wrong, but unanimously supported it. This is because ordinary people are not enlightened beings with any inherent understanding; they are simply blind followers.

Astra, by distributing the potential of civilization along with it, utterly stifled its future.

To put it bluntly, Astra played the role of the omniscient and omnipotent Laplace's demon, thus moving towards metaphysical mechanistic materialism.

Clearly, this completely fixed future was beyond the acceptance of Yunxi, the judges, and even element holders like Morris.

However, from an objective perspective, Yunxi and the judge's ideas also had to go to extremes due to the disharmony of civilizations.

Whether they choose Astra or Yunxi, the Noah civilization will not have a perfect ending.

This is a multiple-choice question with no correct answer.

"Click..."

A metallic clanging sound rang out, followed by a sensation on Laura's body. Tilting her head to look at her shoulder, she saw an iron-eating insect crawling onto her.

"Little one, is there any good news?"

This is one of the methods Laura left behind. After Belfast's improvements, the Iron-Eating Bugs no longer have the ferocity they once had, and have completely met the requirements for a cute and cuddly version.

A rustling sound came from behind, and messages gleaned by the Iron-Eating Bugs reached Laura, rekindling hope in her heart.

A bold idea gradually emerged: if the Iron-Eating Bug's detection was correct, then Laura might be able to find a third option.

Looking at Noah's panel, some of the words that had been covered by black blocks had reappeared.

[World: Noah-level ■■ Universe]

[Type: Targeted Civilization Command Mission World]

Main Quest: Exploring the World (Currently: 60%)

[Identity Generation: Ship Spirit of a Civilization-Destroying Weapon, Host of the Elemental "Civilization", ■■■■]

The world name and Laura's identity are still partially undeciphered, but the information on the panel shrouded in mystery has become the most eye-catching clue.

"If Laura chooses Astra, then civilization will be centered around Astra, right?"

Laura put away the Iron-Eating Insects and faced Yunxi and Astra, her tone surprisingly calm.

“That’s right, Lady Laura. After receiving the authorization to take over the civilization, Astra will cancel the Elemental Concept Act and assume all positions in the civilization on her own.”

Astra openly told Laura about her decision, and her honesty is commendable.

Yunxi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Laura's sigh.

"The Noah civilization cannot exist without Astra..."

Upon hearing Laura's words, Yunxi's expression changed, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a silent sigh.

"Little Yunxi, you don't understand."

Seeing Yunxi's dejection, Laura shook her head, and then a surprising turn of events occurred.

"In fact, you and I both know that Astra and the human spirit are both indispensable for the continuation of civilization."

So, I want them all!

Laura silently murmured something to herself, then turned around and gazed for a long time at the red core that represented Astra.

"Noah, this universe is actually your ship, right?"

While using Astra navigation, Laura felt that the structure of civilization was similar to that of her own ship, and this was truly confirmed when Laura prepared to leave herself a way out.

The civilization's territory was very small, smaller than even a planet. Therefore, when Laura released the Iron-Eating Insect swarm, she quickly learned of the civilization's borders.

Despite the subtle changes, Laura could still sense that this was the internal design of the Glorious Starship.

No wonder Noah strongly suggested developing the Radiant Planets series; it turns out he went through it himself.

"Astra is the control center of the Noah mothership. Without Astra, the Noah civilization will completely lose the support within the ship."

After displaying a full projection of civilization, Laura said meaningfully, "In other words, without Astra, civilization would collapse in an instant."

This is why Astra wasn't worried that Laura would choose Yunxi. In fact, during the exploration, Astra gave Laura the green light, allowing her to directly touch Noah's former ship. Otherwise, Laura might have been exploring in the endless virtual world and never found the truth.

[World: Noah-class Ship Universe]

As more black blocks disappeared, another part of Laura's world was revealed.

Worldview deciphered: 75%.

89. The Long-Forgotten Truth About Noah

Once 60% of the world-building has been deciphered, Laura could actually leave.

However, as the mystery unfolded, Laura gradually developed a curiosity about the truth of this world. Since she could leave at any time, Laura didn't mind staying a little longer.

Moreover, they can also obtain a considerable number of civilization commands.

"Lola, what are you going to do?"

Noah's voice rang out after a long absence, and it was clear that Noah also felt guilty about abandoning the civilization he had once created.

Noah also became curious about Laura's statement that she wanted them all.

"Noah, do you remember? Laura had another identity during the creation of her identity."

Recalling the main quest he had been given as a ruthless tool, Noah hummed in agreement. Although Noah couldn't know the truth, he could still see the information Laura had received from the interface.

"A ship spirit capable of destroying civilizations—shouldn't that have originally been excluded from the Noah Universe?"

With a long sigh of relief, Laura revealed her original identity. Even Astra had no record of Laura's ship spirit identity.

In other words, the identity generated this time is very likely to be interchangeable with one's real identity in reality.

Or rather, the universe that Laura entered this time is itself located in reality.

"That is to say..."

Thinking of this, Noah's tone became urgent.

"What standards should be used to protect human civilization, ship spirits?"

Sitting atop her ship's rigging, Laura hovered in mid-air, looking directly at Astra: "Is it simply about resolving a crisis, or about ensuring the eternal continuation of civilization?"

Without waiting for Noah's reply, Laura shook her head as if talking to herself.

"Laura doesn't know if eternal civilizations exist, but for Laura, this requirement is clearly beyond her capabilities."

"All Laura can do is try her best to help humanity resist the crisis that could lead to the destruction of civilization, while continuing the concept of humanity."

"Hey, Noah, you created the Noah civilization, you should have realized this by now."

Noah remained silent, which Laura took as a tacit agreement.

"I don't know why, but Laura has a hard time remembering her memories before she became a ship spirit. But Laura is certain of one thing: she was once a human."

With an enduring will, Laura is a very special being, possessing human consciousness but with the body of a ship spirit.

As long as Laura lives well, human civilization will continue forever in the endless universe.

"Although it's a little embarrassing to talk about."

Laura blushed slightly, but she still told Noah her thoughts: "However, if things really get to the point of no return, Laura is the hope of civilization."

After he finished speaking, the last bit of fog on Noah's panel was cleared away.

[World: Noah-class Ship Universe]

[Identity Generation: Ship Spirit of Civilization-Destroying Weapons, Host of Elemental "Civilization", Inheritor of Pan-Human Will]

Worldview Deciphered: 90%

"Then all we need to do next is create a virtual universe that belongs to the Dawn."

"Lola, you don't have the technology to construct a virtual universe, and the Dawn can't withstand the burden of a virtual universe..."

Noah had to admit that Laura's achievements were beyond his imagination, but even so, the possibility of building a new universe was extremely slim given the lack of hardware.

That's right.

Laura didn't refute, but there was no worry on her face: "So, Laura needs to thank Noah."

"As mentioned before, this universe is located in the real world. Otherwise, Laura wouldn't be able to possess the identity of a weapon ship spirit."

"Of all the technologies Laura possesses, only one can contain the Noah universe, right?"

As her consciousness sank into her mind, a humanoid Noah, radiating light, appeared before Laura. Looking at Noah, who was about the same size as herself, Laura suppressed a laugh and playfully pinched Noah's nose with her puffed-out cheeks.

"Haven't you discovered it yet? This is Noah's Dimension. As for the construction technology... Astra, you'll help Laura, right?"

Upon receiving Astra's affirmative answer, Laura felt as if she had been relieved of all her burdens and gave Noah a rather amused pinch.

"Noah, you're a little dumber than Laura thought."

The mystery was finally solved, and Laura glanced casually at the progress of the world-building unveiling.

Worldview Deciphered: 100%

This branch universe mission has been successfully completed!

As Laura summoned the Dawn, the entire Noah world began to collapse. Astra was using all the resources at his disposal to begin building a virtual universe for the Dawn for Laura.

At the same time, Yunxi, the judge, and even the entire civilization gradually transformed into points of light.

Laura inherited humanity's will to civilization, and the contradictions between humanity and Astra were perfectly and harmoniously resolved in Laura.

However, the virtual world that Astra reversed had such a profound impact on the Noah civilization that the old civilization began to perish as Astra began to build the new universe.

"I'm sorry, Laura can't help you."

Watching Yunxi and the judge slowly approach death, Laura's heart suddenly grew heavy.

Even in the best-case scenario, sacrifice is unavoidable.

"It's alright, Sister Laura."
