Chapter 1948

~6 min read 1,163 words

During a brief pause in organizing language, even the ogre couldn't help but stare blankly, looking at Qing Kai with a strange expression.

Find the Creator? Does this thing even exist in this world? No, they must be crazy.

Or maybe they crushed the system; perhaps the system itself is the Creator.

What Qing Kai said is utterly absurd, especially the civilization he mentioned; in the eyes of the Star Destroyers present, it is nothing short of a clownish act.

But for Lin An, it evoked many thoughts.

After not pausing too long, Qing Kai gave a cold chuckle and continued speaking.

Yes, otherwise how could they have triggered a Special Event and played themselves to death?

In our investigation, which came at a great cost, we found the logic behind their daring to do this.

Their civilization believes that everything that can be conceived must exist somewhere in the universe; according to quantum fluctuations and the random motion of particles, theoretically, somewhere in the universe even a brain that knows everything could randomly assemble. Under this theory, they also believe that the entire universe, including the origin of life, is merely a random product.

In infinite time and infinite scale, there would naturally be infinite kinds of existence.

What they aim to do is, among infinite possibilities, find an ultimate being with infinite power that will unconditionally help them.

Of course, they even added a condition to this supreme being: they believe that such ultimate beings are infinite in number, so among them there must necessarily be one that is extremely easy to summon.

As long as they call its name, that thing will jump out and help them destroy the Doomsday System.

After all, it's infinite, and since they can imagine it, it must exist!

Upon saying this, Qing Kai couldn't help but sneer, and Golden Bull and the others also couldn't help but be speechless.

So how did they do it? They just kept shouting, 'Creator, where are you?'

Hai Yao, the Star Destroyer, asked curiously, their civilization also experienced a divine enlightenment era, or rather, he also controlled their civilization in the guise of a deity; although, he did not walk the path of faith.

Before Qing Kai could speak, the ever-silent Lin An suddenly spoke calmly.

Constantly writing names and then calling them, right?

That civilization abandoned all activities, with everyone writing different titles for the Creator, then repeatedly trying, hoping to accidentally stumble upon information about the Creator that meets the conditions.

Just like monkeys typing, with infinite monkeys hammering keyboards for infinite time, it's possible to randomly type out a book containing the truth of the universe.

Although they couldn't achieve infinity, a god's name might not be that long; the combinations would be fewer by many orders of magnitude. If lucky enough, they might get it after just a few tries.

After the words fell, Qing Kai glanced at Lin An with some surprise; he didn't expect this guy who calls himself '77' to have guessed this directly.

Exactly, that bunch of idiots really did that.

I also have to admit that their approach did have some effect, but what they ultimately produced was a space monster of unknown nature.

Maybe they mispronounced the name, or maybe that monster just happened to pass by; either way, they ended up playing themselves to death.

In the end, to resolve this mission, we simply slaughtered them all, including one of our teammates who, upon realizing this, couldn't help but utter that name, forcing us to kill him as well.

Shaking his head, Qing Kai let out a long sigh after speaking, seeming still somewhat fearful of that mission.

As if thinking of something, Qing Kai glanced sideways at Lin An and gave a light laugh.

Kid, your reaction is pretty quick. How about it, has your civilization also done this stupid thing? To be honest, although that civilization is terribly stupid, they actually proved one point: that this world indeed has too many strange existences.

Facing Qing Kai's sarcasm, Lin An showed no reaction; he knew Qing Kai was dissatisfied with him. Just as the ogre said, these Creator members inherently look down on other civilizations.

Lin An also had no intention of explaining anything.

What Qing Kai doesn't know is that he could think of this instantly because Lin An clearly understands that this so-called extremely stupid civilization actually secretly aligned with the faith system!

If the spark on Earth calls out to Ling An, Lin An would really hear it! Moreover, that civilization could go further, find what the belief entity of the possibly existing 'Creator' is, integrate it themselves, and perhaps actually summon this theoretically existing entity!

So, Lord Qing Kai..

You mean, the cause of our mission this time is likely the person who wrote this sentence, who, after finishing this book, spoke out or became aware of the name 'Ghost Skull', leading to an outcome different from that civilization's?

He happened to hear rumors of Ghost Skull by chance, out of curiosity he went to look for related clues; as a result, he found this book and finished reading it?

Assuming the role of a follower, the archer nodded in agreement, summarizing Qing Kai's expressed meaning.

But just as he finished speaking, the ogre who had been leaning against the wall suddenly shuddered and widened his eyes.

Fuck!!?

Damn it!? If we utter the name Ghost Skull, will something happen!? Holy shit, could it be that we received this mission because our people came into contact with Ghost Skull's information!?

Smack!

The ogre, as soon as he finished speaking, slapped himself in surprise and anger, as if he hated himself for being so stupid as to utter those two words.

At the same time, Qing Kai, Golden Bull, and the others were all stunned, and their faces drastically changed.

Damn it! It's not that this possibility doesn't exist!

In their investigation, when this special mission first appeared, there was actually no compulsory requirement to enter! Instead, someone from a nearby civilization unintentionally approached this place, after which the scene altered and the system forcibly pulled their people in!

Only then did it become their turn to have to enter the mission! Upon thinking that all personnel who entered this mission were merely 'nearby', with no other star-field civilizations at all.

For a moment, the archer who had been trying to curry favor with Qing Kai also began to feel afraid.

No.. it couldn't be that serious!? We also said those two words when we just came in! Nothing has happened so far!

Idiot! Just now was the system's protection time!

The ogre roared in violent anger, not giving the archer a chance to retort; the next second, a cold system notification sounded, as if verifying the ogre's guess.

Beep, clue activated.

"Please immediately proceed to the next area!"

In an instant, as the system notification ended, a chilling aura suddenly enveloped everyone.
