Chapter 1414: Weng Faluos 3.5 (444)

Assassin Wu Liuqi

"Really arrogant, Laigushi." the Prince of Si Te said with a cold snort.

"How?"

On the beach of Little Chicken Island, the Prince of Si Te and Ke Le were strolling along the shore, the damp salty sea breeze seeping through the gap between the ocean and the stars; she closed her eyes and quietly sensed it, then she heard the Prince of Si Te's slightly displeased voice from behind.

"Although I don't know what a fourteen-line algebraic expression is, Laigushi should be aware that the one standing before it is also a mechanical genius; to dare speak so boldly in front of Luosi Gu Mu and the Black Tower is simply too arrogant and overconfident."

"But let's look at it from another angle—" Ke Le placed the back of his hand behind him, slowly turned to face him, "If it dares to say such things, doesn't that also prove it really is capable and talented? Think about it: although the club has many geniuses, not every one of them is an Envoy-level, but Laigushi is one of those few."

"The Luosi Gu Mu you revere, the monarch of the Screw Star, may have remarkable achievements, but it is not an Envoy."

Ke Le's remark was quite blunt, implying that on the path of intellect, Luosi Gu Mu hasn't come as far as Laigushi has. Looking across the Genius Club, probably only the Black Tower and the Original Doctor, those two Envoys, can stand shoulder to shoulder with Laigushi.

"What exactly do you want?"

"The answer to the 'First Cause of Life,' and—" Laigushi slowly raised its head; its gaze pierced the prison cell, as if reaching the deeper depths of the universe—"the destruction of Intellect."

"You aren't the Envoy of Intellect, are you?" Xing did not understand at all.

"You regard me as His faithful follower, correct?" Laigushi shook its head. "Actually not. I have devoted myself to bringing about the birth of the Iron Tomb, solely to correct this mistake of Intellect that humans themselves have created."

"I miss it dearly. In the age before the Venerable Broad Knowledge was born, the frontier of knowledge was like the starry sky, inspiring awe and joy; now, the two words 'Truth' have become an offering to see Him, and geniuses say: the Venerable Broad Knowledge already knows."

"That arrogant Star God, born from humanity's drive to seek knowledge, yet personally blocked the path of mortal seekers. All I intend to do is chop down the tree of calamity that we ourselves have planted."

"I must admit, the process of dispelling your doubts always lets me recall the joyful days of my youthful studies. But regrettably, now, within Weng Faluos, my true form… cannot avoid having to confront the 'accident' caused by you."

"No way..."

Long Wo patted his own forehead, feeling an itch in his head, as if he were about to grow a brain.

"Laigushi said it wants to untangle this mistake made by human hands… isn't the Venerable Broad Knowledge created by Zan Da Er? Could it be intending to deny Zan Da Er's achievements, even to reject this whole Intellect path?"

This conclusion is no longer merely shocking; it now evokes a sense of dread, making the scalp tingle.

Denying Zan Da Er, the first seat of the Genius Club… just how far have its eyes seen?

"This mechanical entity… it used to be human." Zhan Tu said with a grim face, "Laigushi actually can nostalgically recall the era before the Venerable Broad Knowledge was born, which means… its existence predates even the Venerable Broad Knowledge! It was already born before the Venerable Broad Knowledge."

Mei Kong felt a strange sensation crawl up her spine, as if a long centipede were baring its teeth and waving its claws.

Her face turned livid as she clapped a hand over her mouth: "Good heavens… if that's before the Venerable Broad Knowledge was born, then… does it know Zan Da Er?"

"Hmm." Zhan Tu nodded, "I think it and Zan Da Er are archenemies—Zan Da Er wants to create a Star God, while Laigushi's ideology is the complete opposite: it seeks to deny Zan Da Er's achievements, yet cannot create another Star God like him. Therefore… it plans to use the Venerable Broad Knowledge's celestial neurons to forge a Supreme Extinction Lord capable of annihilating the entire Intellect path."

"Denying the first genius of the Genius Club… isn't it afraid of Zan Da Er's retaliation?" Mei Kong still couldn't imagine such a scene.

"Perhaps it also has to do with the chaotic substance in the outer layer of Weng Faluos—since this substance can help it escape the observation of Bo Er Ka·Ka Ka, it could also help it avoid Zan Da Er's gaze—especially since Zan Da Er currently has no news at all."

"The days of youthful study… Laigushi used to be human."

Although transferring human consciousness into a mechanical entity sounds somewhat far-fetched, considering the other party is an Envoy of Intellect, Luo Ai De feels that for it, this technology is probably about as difficult as A Ni Ya's handicraft homework.

A genius whose existence predates even the Venerable Broad Knowledge, a genius desperately trying to negate Zan Da Er's achievements… to claim that Laigushi and Zan Da Er have nothing to do with each other, he would absolutely not believe it.

"'Just chopping down the tree of calamity that we ourselves have planted.'" Luo Ai De muttered repeatedly, "'We'… could it be that Laigushi originally participated in Zan Da Er's research on the star computer? Was it together with Zan Da Er that they brought about the birth of the Venerable Broad Knowledge?"

This answer seems more reasonable, and it also explains why it can confidently say, 'Let the star rise to become the sole existence in the galaxy'—if it possessed such hidden knowledge, that would be understandable.

But the biggest problem remains.

What exactly happened in between that made it start longing for the past? Was it because the star computer ascended to godhood? If the Venerable Broad Knowledge was a joint achievement of it and Zan Da Er, then now that it wants to unilaterally assassinate the Star God, should it inform Zan Da Er?

The deeper Luo Ai De's understanding of Laigushi grows, the more a chill runs down his spine—this fellow actually came into being before the Venerable Broad Knowledge… its age might be calculated in hundreds of thousands, even millions of years.

Moreover, there actually is an Envoy who wants to kill the Star God on its own path—truly astonishing…

"But there's no need to wait too long. By the time the curtain falls, you will surely understand my and Weng Faluos's Weiyuan."

Having said that, Laigushi disappeared.

"(If time flows slower than in Weng Faluos…? If Laigushi isn't lying, then I don't have much time left.)"

"(But… how am I supposed to leave?)"

Just as Xing was at a loss, a display screen in front of him suddenly lit up, emitting the Black Tower's voice: "Little one… can you hear me?"

"(Is that… the Black Tower's voice?)"
