Chapter 49

Others find it difficult to be noticed by one Aeon, but when it comes to Lin Qi, he is gazed upon by two Aeons directly, and maybe even other Aeons are watching.

To be more exaggerated, it's not impossible that some strange laughter suddenly comes to his ears.

Maybe the Aeon of Elation just wants to see this fun?

Sour.

Completely sour.

At this moment, even Fu Xuan's temperament could no longer remain calm.

On the other side.

Lin Qi was dumbfounded.

Ah?

Again?

Did he win some interstellar lottery?

No, the probability of being gazed upon, or even stared at, by Aeons twice in a row is lower than winning the Galactic Lottery after winning the Interstellar Lottery.

Even the most imaginative fantasist wouldn't have such a dream.

Because there is no such precedent in the entire universe.

As the first person in history, Lin Qi was dumbfounded, but he was considering a question.

As everyone knows.

After being gazed upon by Nous, you can ask him a question, and the omniscient Aeon will answer it.

The answer might not be long, but it must be the most correct result after Nous's calculation.

So the question is.

What question should I ask Nous?

46. Emanator of two Paths? The universe is shocked.

If you ask a simple question, you waste an opportunity in vain.

You have to know, Nous's body is a star-body computer, and after ascending to godhood, his computing power is close to infinite; all the knowledge that can be solved in the entire universe has been calculated by him.

The only one that still troubles him is probably the ultimate question like "the meaning of the universe," as well as the universal equation composed of trillions of variables and the imaginary laws that have not yet been seen.

Ask some technical problems?

No.

Lin Qi will find the answer to these questions sooner or later.

Ask about some areas never involved? Like Path power?

Not very good either.

Because such questions only trouble Lin Qi, and are too simple for a god.

As a "genius," you should ask something more valuable.

After much thought, Lin Qi knew what to ask.

Then.

He asked the huge eyeball above.

"Since you are omniscient, then I ask you..."

"Do you know..."

"Are we actually in a game?"

Lin Qi's tone was very casual, without any restraint of a subordinate toward a superior.

In fact, there was no need.

Aeons don't care about the attitude of mortals; if they cared, they wouldn't be gods.

Even the most "personified" Aha wouldn't care about this.

Even happy that others are disrespectful to him, after all, this itself is full of fun.

As for why he asked Nous "if the world is a game," the reason is that Lin Qi might know the answer better than him.

Or at least part of the answer.

Although he hadn't played the game, Lin Qi had seen the game promotional video.

So he knew very well that the worldview here was the same as the game.

But what made Lin Qi unable to be sure was, after he crossed over, would this world still be a game?

When the plot begins, will there be so-called "players" appearing?

This question, in fact, Lin Qi had thought about it a long time ago.

But he didn't find the answer.

And he couldn't find evidence to support his point of view.

So.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qi gave up, just like a fish in a jar, not realizing it was spinning.

Lin Qi clearly realized that he probably couldn't find the result of this answer by himself.

Even if he asked other geniuses, it would just be a few more guesses.

Only Aeons.

Or rather, only those Aeons who pursue "truth" can truly answer this question.

Nous, is probably one of them.

Why say probably?

In Lin Qi's view, Aeons are not omnipotent, and the Aeon of Erudition is not omniscient; he might be able to realize something, but is what he infers really completely accurate?

Even if he is a god!

At this moment.

After Lin Qi finished asking, Nous's huge red signal light dimmed slightly, as if "breathing," or as if thinking.

And I don't know how long it took, in this special space, time seemed to have lost its meaning.

Lin Qi seemed to have waited for a century, and seemed to have passed only for a moment.

When Nous's red signal light lit up again.

A cold, emotionless mechanical sound suddenly resounded throughout the space.

Nous gave the answer.

Then, Lin Qi got the answer from that mechanical sound.

This answer is not long, only four words when translated.

【Simulated Universe】

"Simulated Universe?"

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, although he had heard that the answer given by Nous was very short, he never thought it would be so short.

Are you out of traffic if you say a little more?

Understood.

Another riddle-maker.

Hmm...

"Okay, better than a riddle-maker, at least there are traces to follow, and he won't answer randomly."

Lin Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

After all, what the riddle-maker says, let alone whether it can be understood, whether it is correct is another matter.

Nous at least won't lie, this credibility is still there.

It's just that this answer needs further deliberation.

It may be that the entire universe is in a simulation.

It may also be that this question requires a simulation to truly understand.

Lin Qi was not sure which one Nous was talking about.

In addition.

This "Simulated Universe," Lin Qi was not hearing it for the first time.

The large project that Herta is preparing is related to this. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====

To be precise, it is also called this name.

"Is there any connection?"

"Or is it a coincidence?"

Lin Qi speculated.

He always felt there was a relationship, perhaps...

Further answers, he really has to look for them in Herta's project.

Just thinking about it.

The red signal light of the large mechanical head gradually dimmed, and along with it, its huge body also dimmed.

When the red light completely disappeared, Nous's divine body also suddenly disappeared.

The Aeon of Erudition is offline.

Leaving only an inexplicable signal.

The next moment.

Lin Qi's consciousness withdrew from the special space and returned to reality.

Although Nous left, he still left some things for Lin Qi after answering.

"Erudition Path power?"

Lin Qi's expression was strange.

Although this Path power is not as much as the Destruction Path power, that is, it has not reached the level of an Emanator.

It is not as destructive as the Destruction Path power, but the benefits it brings to Lin Qi are not much less.

Even higher!

Because they make Lin Qi's thinking more and more active, just like getting an ultimate enhanced version of the brain domain expansion injection.

For Lin Qi, who focuses on researching technology and eats by inventing curios, this is the real strengthening.

In contrast, the destructive power added by Erudition power can be completely ignored.

If he really wants to do it, the Destruction Path power is undoubtedly much better.

"This is comfortable."

"No wonder so many scholars pursue being gazed upon by Nous, it's not just a false name, the benefits brought by the improvement of thinking alone are enough to make people crazy."

Lin Qi sighed.

If the benefits brought by Nous are quantified and converted into a certain farming game panel, it is probably "research efficiency doubled," and the duration is permanent.

It's no wonder people aren't crazy.

It is no exaggeration to say that after being gazed upon by Nous, Lin Qi's research speed will double.

Some key nodes that he hadn't figured out before also began to have new inspiration.

As for the "Genius Society Invitation Letter"...

This thing originally had no physical object.

It only represents Nous's recognition of a certain genius, not only the achievements made by the genius, but also the genius's attitude toward the universe and knowledge.

If it is for the pursuit of being gazed upon, then Nous will never cast his gaze.

On the contrary.

If you have made a little "small achievement" on the road of seeking knowledge, and also recognized your own insignificance in the universe, only then is it possible to be invited by Nous.

At least...

That's what the Genius Society's profile says.

But Lin Qi always feels it's not just like this.

Or rather, Nous has indeed calculated everything, but not to the point of being able to instantly see through what a genius is thinking.

There must be a delay in the middle.

Just as Lin Qi heard about the 77th seat of the Genius Society, Zandar, the opportunity for her to join the club was when her invention became a weapon, and then she was gazed upon by Nous.

That was a space engine, and Zandar's original intention for building it was to find a super-distance transmission method other than jumping.

In the end, although the object would be transmitted to the destination, it would also expand outward at a speed close to positive infinity and form a violent explosion.

Later, the IPC bought the patent for this curios and made it into a weapon.

And the moment she witnessed the explosion, Zandar became a genius.

Clearly.

If Nous could really calculate everything, he wouldn't have to wait until the curios was made into a weapon.

He should have invited Zandar to join as soon as she made it.

Just like now.

"I don't know if it was my Door of Anywhere that caught Nous's attention, or those two completed star-system weapons."

"Or..."

"Both?"

Lin Qi was not sure.

The only thing he could be sure of was that the signal left by Nous before leaving should be the "invitation letter."

In other words, he is now a member of the Genius Society.

Aeon certified, authentic.

"Hmm, the 85th seat."

On the other side.

Fu Xuan witnessed the arrival of Aeons twice, and she still hasn't recovered until now.

Her mood can no longer be described as shocked.

Although until the pressure of Erudition retreated, no third Aeon appeared, it was enough to shatter Fu Xuan's worldview.

She even began to suspect whether Lin Qi had become an Emanator of Erudition again.

Dual Emanator?

This thought gave Fu Xuan a fright.

She didn't even dare to imagine how terrifying this was.

With the two superimposed, it probably wasn't as simple as one plus one, right?

If that were really the case, except for several Emanators working together, I'm afraid only Aeons could pose a threat to Lin Qi, right?

That is to say, in the entire universe, except for top factions like the IPC and the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou, factions below the first line should not think about competing with Lin Qi anymore.

Even porcelain can't be touched.

"Phew~"

"I'd better say hello and leave quickly."

"In case Lin Qi wants to destroy me, it will be too late."

Thinking about it.

Fu Xuan hurriedly sent a message to Lin Qi, and then without waiting for Lin Qi's reply, she directly ordered the fleet to return.

It's not that she wanted to do this, it's really worry.

It wasn't until the fleet jumped successfully and arrived at the adjacent star system that Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only then that she discovered that the Luofu and the Alliance had sent her quite a lot of messages.

【Fu Qing, how is the situation there?】

【Master Diviner Fu, is Dr. Lin Qi injured? Did the curios in his hand fall into the hands of the Wingweavers?】

【Master Diviner Fu, did you ask Dr. Lin Qi about the devastating blow to the Qiongsang star sector? Was it really his doing?】

【Fu Qing, please reply if you receive this】

【Master Diviner Fu, please reply immediately after seeing this message. Our company has reported to Yaoqing and Yuque, and the Marshal is ordering the mobilization of Cloud Knights, the fleet is about to jump...】

Before finishing reading the messages, Fu Xuan hurriedly sent what she saw and heard to the Alliance.

Cold sweat broke out on her temples.

Fortunately, she ran fast, otherwise she would have almost missed a major event.

After Nanook the Destruction appeared, not only did he destroy a lot of matter, but even the super-distance communication between the Jarilo star system and the outside world was temporarily shielded, and even Nous couldn't "fix" it.

Maybe it's because Nous doesn't care about this. ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
