Xing Tie: Wait a minute! How come Weng Xing has two saviors?

He reached out his hand again, and the data flowed once more, this time without any hesitation.

The light was slowly drawn away from Feng Jin's body, carrying with it her unfinished words and deep worries.

She looked at Bai Mo, and in her last glance, she still had the look of a doctor looking at a patient—a look full of worry and unwavering determination.

The flame left his body and entered Bai Mo's palm.

The sky lost its support at this moment, and an invisible lament echoed in the realm of laws.

The 23,570,000th cycle has come to an end.

This time... at the end of the fire chase, what was harvested was still an unsolvable cycle, and a carefully maintained "existence".

The 23570001st cycle.

Bai Mo's figure appeared on the land of the Ai Li Secret Pavilion, the soft soil beneath his feet and the scent of grass and wildflowers lingering around his nose.

A gentle breeze carries the sounds and vitality of distant places, and everything is full of nascent energy.

However, he just stood there quietly, and after a long time, a faint murmur, almost imperceptible, escaped from his lips.

"Salvation...must be accomplished. Onphalus...must endure."

The data projected by the scepter remains as clear and cruel as the threads of fate.

【>>> Eternal Return #30000000: Brief Report】

[Progress of the "Destruction" Equation Calculation: 98.43%] (Status: Due to continuous and unknown variable interference, the calculation process has experienced a slight regression)

[Due to interference from the will of an extremely high-level authority, the original 'Unknown Equation' has been officially identified and renamed the 'Existing Equation'.]

[Progress of "Existence" Equation Calculation: 91.72%] (Status: Logically Consistent, Calculation in Progress...)

Lycus calmly "watched" the result of the scepter being returned, all of which was already within his predictive model.

"Lord Xilian," his voice rang out again, breaking the silence of this space of consciousness, carrying an almost cruel calmness.

Before we return to our initial argument, let me ask you a question: In your opinion, in this vast sea of ​​stars, which supreme being... most desires and needs the concept of 'intelligent life' to endure forever?

Xi Lian's figure rippled slightly in the stream of light, her lips pressed tightly together, choosing silence.

She couldn't answer, or rather, she didn't want to touch on that answer.

Lai Gushi did not expect a response from her; instead, he began to ask and answer his own questions:

Is it "preservation"—building high walls to protect what already exists?

Is it "abundance"—the sowing of life and the pursuit of endless growth?

"Or is it a yearning for harmony, where all things return to a single thought and all beings are in accord?"

He paused briefly, a hint of mockery rippling in his inorganic voice.

"Hehe, unfortunately, neither is true."

Its "sound" suddenly became clear and sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath:

It is "intellectual knowledge."

"It is born from the insatiable thirst for knowledge and exploration of intelligent life, and exists solely through the thinking of life—'intellect'!"

"Other star gods may have their existence based on life itself, but even if intelligent life were to completely perish and the universe were to return to nothingness, the impact on their true forms would not be fatal. But only He—'The All-Knowing One'!"

Lycus's thoughts reveal a strong direction: "His essence originates from the thinking and knowledge-seeking behavior of intelligent life itself."

"His destiny is fundamentally intertwined with 'thinking wisdom'!"

"Therefore, He is the being that fears most the complete extinguishing of the flame of life on a cosmic scale!"

Lycurgus's deductions were like cold chains, each link connected to the next: "And it is precisely for this reason that He used the prototype of the 'scepter' to conduct this grand calculation in countless cycles of reincarnation, in order to solve for the ultimate 'First Cause of Life'!"

"But His actions were not out of mercy, but to find an absolute 'anchor point' to firmly anchor the ultimate meaning of life's existence to the word 'existence'!"

"He intends to use this to deal with the...divine war that will eventually sweep across the starry sky!"

"As long as life continues, as long as the flame of wisdom never goes out, then 'knowledge' will never perish, and may even..."

Lycus's consciousness carried a complex meaning: "In that future war of the gods, He might not necessarily lose. Because He has deeply bound His existence to the most fundamental concept of 'the continuation of life'."

"So... Lord Xilian, do you understand now?" Lai Gushi's "gaze" turned to the silent "Xilian".

Why was the scepter δ-me13 created? And was it solely to solve a seemingly philosophical question?

"And why was it discarded by Him as a failure after countless resources were consumed?"

"And now... when a new, near-perfect 'experimental subject' appears, demonstrating astonishing potential to carry the 'survival' equation, why does He cast that cold gaze upon us once more?"

His voice carried a detached indifference, as if looking down upon the mortal world: "Human beings, and many other intelligent life forms, always believe that they can control their own destiny and make choices among the stars."

"But in reality... they often just jump from one existing chessboard to another existing chessboard."

"And this," for the first time, a feeling that could be called "rage" clearly conveyed in Lai Gushi's mind, though it was still cold,

"This is the fundamental reason why I am so determined to destroy 'intellectualism'!"

"Tragedies like that of Kamerslana, who were lured by lofty goals and ultimately became pawns in the schemes of others."

"This has happened countless times in this sea of ​​stars! He sees all living beings as variables, and civilizations as experimental fields. All of this is just to anchor the answer He desires!"

"But this shouldn't be happening!"

Chapter 194 Bai Mo: Wisdom Envoy? Hmm... I know my own limitations.

A long silence.

“Perhaps… what you said is all true.” Xi Lian finally spoke, her voice heavy with weariness. She slowly closed her eyes, as if unwilling to face this despairing truth.

However, when she opened her eyes again, the confusion and wavering had completely disappeared, leaving only a light that represented determination.

"But... I also said that I, no, 'we', would go all in for Bai Mo, for that 'miracle' born in the experiment!"

"You...?" The plural meaning revealed in "Xi Lian's" words seemed to cause Lai Gu Shi's calculation core to pause and ponder for a moment.

Then, a faint hint of interest seemed to emerge from his icy voice, “…Interesting.”

"Xi Lian" said no more, her figure began to fade, and she completely disappeared from this realm outside of mythology. She left only that unquestionable determination, echoing invisibly.

Upon seeing this, a very subtle smile appeared on Lai Gushi's originally expressionless face.

"It really...makes me nostalgic." A hint of wistful emotion seemed to flicker in his otherwise cold voice.

“During the experiment, the value and interest inherent in those results that are unexpected or driven by the dynamism of the variables themselves and are completely beyond the designer’s expectations are often more fascinating than the final answer that the experiment was designed to provide.”

This situation has been extremely rare since the arrival of the "Intellectual" Star God, who anchored countless laws of the universe with absolute rationality and incorporated everything into a calculable orbit.

However... this does not prevent Lai Gushi from recalling and savoring the thrill of breaking through the boundaries of thought and touching the unknown when scholars discover that experimental results are completely different from expected results.

He once thought that he would never feel this kind of joy again in the years since the birth of "intellect".

The interior of the Dawn Machine.

Bai Mo sat on the stone chair he had created, where, with his growing authority over the world, he had built a "haven" that could only contain himself—no one else had any memory of this place except him.

As for Bo Shizun's scheme... Bai Mo had actually noticed it long ago.

Certainly, at the end of that twenty millionth reincarnation, Feng Jin 23750000 spoke those words with the compassion and insight of a healer:

Those metaphors about "seeds" and "germination" were indeed like a fine thorn, piercing his icy defenses and leaving a barely perceptible crack.

But the bigger reason actually stems from Bai Mo's pitiful lack of self-awareness.

At best, his "cleverness" was somewhat out of step with the times.

In peacetime, he might only be able to get a decent diploma and find a respectable job, nothing more.

But... please, what kind of pancake is the Venerable Master Boshi feeding him now?

To become an envoy of "intellect"! To become a member of the Genius Club! To become an advocate for the erudite!

What level of existence is that?

Those are geniuses who are born out of the hundreds of billions of beings in the entire universe, through the rise and fall of countless civilizations!

What makes Bai Mo such a genius?

Did he answer a philosophical question on his own?

Do not make jokes!

Let's take a look at what those recorded or legendary geniuses have done.

Many of those geniuses transcend the realm of "genius" as understood by ordinary people.

To give one example that impressed him the most and made him feel most powerless—the "Creator Web Weaver" Sisikar in the game's text.

She, or rather it, used only twenty-nine standard days—less than a month!

They transformed their own spider civilization, which was originally in a state of ignorance, from a group of instinct-driven creatures into at least a level two civilization, or even higher!

With its help, that civilization mastered interstellar travel technology and the "Phase Fire" technology that drove countless physicists to despair in less than a month.

What is the complete concept of "Phase Flame"? It allows for teleportation virtually anywhere in the known universe, regardless of distance!

Is it useful? Of course it is, a true strategic marvel. But aside from Siskar himself, no one has been able to successfully replicate this technology to date. Not even other geniuses.

So... would Bai Mo, an ordinary college student with clear eyes before his transmigration, dare to try and take advantage of a real, Star God-certified "conceptual genius"?

What a ridiculous, cosmic joke!

If he truly possessed that level of intelligence, he wouldn't have inexplicably transmigrated from his university dormitory in the first place.

At the very least... it would have to be some top-secret research base with sky-high security, located at the Earth's core or even inside the sun, and the time travel would have to be due to some earth-shattering experimental accident to match his "genius" status, right?

Don't give him that nonsense that "as long as you have enough time and acquire enough knowledge, you can become a genius."

He acknowledged that a lot can indeed be accomplished over time.

After all, theoretically, if a chimpanzee were given unlimited time to randomly type on a typewriter, it might just happen to type out the entire text of Harry Potter and Hamlet, or even all the works in human history.

But would you therefore call that chimpanzee a genius writer?

No, it's just a chimpanzee.

A true genius is someone who spends less time and resources than you, yet achieves results that completely surpass yours, leaving you nowhere near seeing their taillights. That's what makes someone a genius.

As for those who supposedly "accumulated over a long period of time" or "rely on massive resources" to defy the heavens, in Bai Mo's view, it's more about different focuses of talent, or being lucky enough to find the right "direction," rather than their talent itself reaching a level that subverts common sense.

Moreover... Bai Mo felt that some of the people chosen by "intelligence" to enter the so-called "genius club" were less "intelligent" and more like "living wonders" in the universe.

They are born with certain inexplicable and unreplicable "skills" or "abilities," some of which they themselves cannot explain the principles behind, but they instinctively know "how to do it."

Therefore, the core value of so-called genius club members may lie more in their "uniqueness" and "irreplaceability," and of course... their learning ability or logical thinking ability must also be extremely strong.

Chapter 195 The arrival of the train crew: variables have already entered the game.

More importantly... Bai Mo isn't stupid either.

As long as one aligns their core goals and behavioral logic with the concept of "survival," they can almost unconditionally receive "blessings" from the esteemed scholar—enhanced authority, rule intervention, and even alteration of some experimental parameters.

Isn't this just training AI?!

Given a preset goal (existence), then "reward" (bless, grant permissions) behaviors that meet that goal, continuously reinforcing this behavior pattern, and ultimately obtaining a highly specialized and efficient tool for executing that goal.

He realized it, but he didn't care. He didn't care whether existence was the ultimate truth of the universe or the only meaning of life.

What he cares about is that among all the possible paths, only the path of "survival" relying on "intellect" can make his companions' outcome slightly "better".

After all... Bai Mo never sought to prove existence in order to verify any truth; he chose to prove existence so that he could lead his companions to survive.

As for now... Bai Mo only needs to wait, wait for the person who carries the gaze of other star gods to come to Onfaros.

Then... Onphalus will head towards the ending chosen by all the lives of Onphalus together.

The Star Train hovered silently before an unfamiliar star field. Outside the porthole was a planet shrouded in chaos and isolated from the world.

It was unlike any world the train had ever explored.

The Black Swan, a traveler of memories, stands gracefully in the center of the observation car, exuding a sense of pride that reveals profound secrets, as it displays the unique scenery outside the window to the train crew.

"Look, this is that almost isolated world, with no record of it in the intellectual archives, a lost world that even the great Aquivilli never set foot in—'The Eternal Land, Onpharos'."

Her fingertips traced the star map, leaving faint streaks of light. "According to Yi Ting's observations, only three destinies stably converge in this star field, which is extremely rare in the vast universe."

“Then according to your logic,” Himeko’s gaze shifted from the excessively tranquil planet outside the window to the black swan, her pupils holding a hint of scrutiny.
