Chapter 1415: Weng Falosi 3.5 (445)

~6 min read 1,079 words

"Hurry, run a few steps. I can't hold on much longer," Hei Ta's figure slowly floated before her, "That AI brother's one slip finally gave Luosi and me a chance."

"What's happening outside?"

"Let's cut to the chase. The time you were away—for Weng Falosi, that's 'these few years'..."

"Wait, years?!"

"Time dilation, variable flow rates... you already know that, don't you?" Hei Ta shrugged, "Now get to the point. The Golden Descendants activated the Recognition Anchor, opening a breach in the firewall for Luosi Gumu and me. We made a temporary fix that prevents him from acting, but it's only short‑term—"

Suddenly, a warning tone cut Hei Ta off: "Abnormal data locked. Confirmed as illegal communication, processing…"

Hei Ta's speech quickened: "Tsk. Time's running out, so here's the conclusion… Until the Golden Descendants fully master the 'Law', Luosi Gumu and I will need a considerable amount of time to completely breach this cage…"

"For safety, we'll keep launching side‑channel attacks to create an escape window for you; you just have to seize the chance, move, and figure out a clean jailbreak yourself."

"Then… is there any method?"

"We've sensed... another... fate... influence... its power is considerable... it might help you..." Ms. Hei Ta's voice began to break, "Use the power of fate... to make it perceive..."

Before she could finish, Ms. Hei Ta's voice was cut off.

"Illegal communication has been terminated."

——

Inuyasha.

"We just talked with Laigushi a few minutes ago, right? And Weng Falosi has already gone through several years?" Inuyasha lowered his head, counting on his fingers, "Does that mean…"

"One minute might be a year, or even several years."

Ge Wei whispered the answer for him, her voice trembling slightly, carrying a hint of cold that even she hadn't noticed.

She recalled the story of Luo Qi and Laisi Li; they were separated by vast distances, and a stellar quake occurred. Laisi Li may have experienced only a few months in the universe, while Luo Qi at the Hei Ta Space Station would have to wait years, perhaps decades.

But Weng Falosi's situation was even worse; in the "Beyond Myth" realm, if Xing were detained for just a few hours, Weng Falosi would jump forward several hundred years…

"The other fate influence Hei Ta mentioned—it's not memory, is it?" Shanhu suddenly broke the silence and asked.

"Besides memory, there doesn't seem to be any other fate that can aid Xing, right?" Inuyasha scratched his head, "Could it be someone from the Luminous Memory Court? They've never entered Weng Falosi, maybe now they should have some effect."

"Counting on the Luminous Memory Court is less hopeful than hoping Miss Black Swan will come to rescue," Ge Wei turned her head, glanced at him, tucked her wind‑tousled hair behind her ear, and sighed, "Haven't you realized? If the Luminous Memory Court could reach here, we wouldn't have to go to such lengths hijacking March Seven and dragging her into Weng Falosi."

She paused, then continued: "I actually think it's quite possible that other fates—companies, Celestial Vessels, families... as long as they're not aligned with the destructive forces, I believe they could change Weng Falosi's situation."

——

(Hei Ta means… a certain faction has arrived at Weng Falosi; can we ask them for help?)

(During my past journeys, I've mastered various fate powers… think carefully, what faction actually reached Weng Falosi… which kind of fate power should be used to summon aid…)

Xing intends to try "Destruction" first.

(In a world that births a supreme annihilator, it will surely attract 'Destruction's attention; the star core in my belly will be of great use.)

(... but if I summon the Antimatter Legion and the Oblivion Guild, will they truly be of help?)

Xing closed her eyes, focused her mind, attempting to resonate her heartbeat's rhythm with the flickering frequency of the golden flames… she hovered on the brink between sanity and madness, delicately steering her consciousness, gently knocking on the door of "Destruction"…

A moment later… she gave up.

That frenzied summons was too tempting; with her current cultivation she couldn't possibly contend with it. Falling into the abyss of "Destruction" now might plunge everything into an irrecoverable calamity.

One failure doesn't matter; after regaining her composure, she plans to try "Preservation".

(No matter how remote the corner, as long as there's hidden commercial potential, it will attract corporate interest; isn't Weng Falosi just an untapped commercial blue ocean?)

(Even if we can't summon corporate allies, city‑builders and nomadic miners should be able to help; after all, there are both cities and mines here.)

Xing closed her eyes, tried to mimic Klee Pei's city‑building hammer strike with her heartbeat… once more—she only needed to recapture the emotions from her battle with the Great Guardian, catching the sparks from that hammer with both hands…

…but nothing happened! Klee Pei ignored her, just as He had ignored countless followers over the ages.

Dragon Clan.

"Mining? Isn't Weng Falosi a civilization simulated by a scepter? Those so‑called mineral mountains and rivers are just strings of numeric codes, right?"

"Tsk tsk… long legs, that's your blind spot of knowledge."

Su Enxi mumbled indistinctly, casually shoving a chip into her mouth, crunching loudly, "Mining doesn't always have to rely on a shovel."

Jiu De Ma Yi turned her head, her gaze even stranger: "How do you mine without mechanical tools?"

"Your perspective's narrow, isn't it? This mining isn't the same 'mining'—the current 'mining' extracts virtual currency." Su Enxi crossed her legs, gesturing like a teacher in mid‑air, "As long as you have computing power, you can verify blockchain transactions and generate new virtual currency. In this system, miners are akin to accountants, and the blockchain is an immutable ledger. With sufficient computing power, mining speed and profit grow exponentially."

"Virtual currency…" Jiu De Ma Yi had a basic understanding, but she wrinkled her nose disdainfully, "So? It's just a financial bubble, right?"

"Oh dear, you muscle girls who are all about fighting obviously don't get the romance of capital operations," Su Enxi spread her hands, a look of "incorrigible wood" on her face.

"This virtual currency is a hot project heavily invested by the boss; its prospects are quite good. But, if we could mine using the Imperial Scepter… no, even using just one ten‑thousandth, or even one hundred‑thousandth, of its computing power to mine…"

"With that kind of computing power, and you're only thinking about mining…" Jiu De Ma Yi sighed.
