Chapter 921: Simulated Universe·The Unknown Realm (27)

After finishing the talk with Luosi Guwu, Xing suddenly noticed a hint of abnormality.

Someone used a sharp tool to carve a line of words onto the spotless wall of the Black Tower's Simulated Universe Laboratory——

"There's only one way for me to join you: my scalpel has pierced the throat of a certain genius."

Xing knew very well that besides them, no one else had ever set foot in this place, and those people would not be the author of this cold inscription.

——

Valkyrie of the End.

"Gurgle..."

Bo'erka never came to the Black Tower Space Station, but this line of writing was undoubtedly carved by her own hand.

Polka did not come to the Black Tower space station, but this line of writing is undoubtedly carved by her personally.

"This woman, could she even sense our words? Truly——" Hadisi set down his cup, about to mutter a curse, when Arusi, sweating profusely, leaned in and whispered: "Lord Hadisi, you must not say that woman's name! Absolutely not! If you provoke her——"

"Tsk..." Hadisi's eyes twitched slightly; as the King of the Underworld, when had he ever encountered such a thing? Even a woman's name had become a taboo.

The key is, she truly has the ability to kill anyone present without anyone knowing.

"Don't worry, it's fine; just mention it casually. Even if Bo'erka hears it, what then? Compared to killing us, she surely has more important things to do—why would she come all the way just to kill people?"

Shijie walked over with a beaming smile: "Hey, just put your heart at ease, Xi Didi—she wouldn't be that idle. Her goal from start to finish has only ever been geniuses; you don't yet have the ability to become a variable affecting the Omniscient Sovereign【Moment】, so relax."

As soon as his words fell, the divine lounge instantly filled with a suffocating stillness.

Hasika's nearby wine cup instantly exploded, shards spraying everywhere.

"What did you say?"

Hadisi's voice was low and deep, like a cold wind blowing from the depths of the Underworld. Yet Shijie didn't retreat; instead he stepped forward, grabbed Hadisi's shoulder, and patted him affectionately: "Hey, Xi Didi, don't be so sensitive. Besides you, even if all the gods and humanity on Earth combined, how about that? To become a 'variable' in the perfect future of the Omniscient Sovereign, hardly anyone in the whole universe qualifies~"

Hades' voice was low and deep, like a cold wind blowing from the depths of the underworld. Yet Shakyamuni not only did not retreat, but stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder in one motion, and patted him affectionately: "Ah, Xiao Didi, don't be so sensitive. Not to mention you, even if all the gods and humans on Earth combined, what then? To become a 'variable' in the perfect future of the erudite venerable, there aren't many in the whole universe who qualify~".

"A blue halo lingered on the horizon, an elderly woman slumped before the window, the door open. A strange girl passed through the Academy's layers of seals and headed straight to Patieweiya's sickroom."

"She's probably here to ask those boring questions, the old woman thought. Either it's a problem with the Solitary Wave Algorithm, or she's probing for clues about the Omniscient Sovereign and the Emperor."

"You gave up just as you were about to ask the scepter a question." the girl calmly looked at her.

A ripple passed through the old woman's heart. Why would she know that? Is she here to take away her own death god? Alas, the uncaring universe does not allow souls to exist.

She repeatedly questioned herself: if she had taken the path of self-coronation, would the outcome have been different? Is the distance between mediocrity and genius truly unbridgeable? Surely it's because she's too ordinary. If those greater scholars accessed the core... perhaps they could solve that problem.

She repeatedly questioned herself: if she had taken the path of self-coronation back then, would the outcome have been different? The distance between mediocrity and genius—can it truly not be crossed? It must be that she herself is too mediocre. If those greater scholars had accessed the core… perhaps they could have solved that problem.

"I'm not here to ask questions." The girl sat beside the woman's bed, placed a stack of formula-covered papers before her, and said, "I only hope you can look at this."

"What is this?" The old woman was a bit confused, but when she saw the second line of the formula, the immense shock she felt when gazing at the Star-Gazing Deity rushed over her heart again—this was the proven, completed Solitary Wave Algorithm.

The old woman's lips trembled: "Are you a scholar? Or... a genius gazed upon by Him?"

"You must be a scholar. For the first time in her life, Patieweiya repeatedly prayed to an unseen presence."

"..." The girl fell silent for a moment, then said, "A scholar. Like you, one who poses questions and solves them."

"Oh..." Patieweiya closed her eyes; she wanted to cry out, to shout, but when the words rose to her tongue they turned into a sigh.

"Such a sigh..." Pativiya closed her eyes, she wanted to cry out, wanted to shout, but when the words welled up from the tip of her tongue, they turned into a mere sigh.

The old woman on the bed had a premonition: she had never met this girl before, and they would never meet again. Before that, she wanted to ask this girl who had shown her the beauty of creation—a genius.

"Never mind that changing constant... Young person, in your view, will the future of the universe be certain or chaotic?"

"Who knows?" the girl's reply was unexpected.

"Perhaps even the Omniscient Sovereign himself wants to know the answer to this question."

"Oh..." the elderly woman said, her voice growing softer.

Above the starry sky, one star blinked out while another flared to life. The Ruler of All Machinery silently observed all this, calculating day after day, never speaking a word.

Above the starry sky, one star dimmed, another star lit up. The King of Ten Thousand Machines silently observed all this, calculating in this way, day after day, never speaking a word.

MYGO.

"Waa waa waa... Black, Black Tower Lady... so gentle!"

"I will always love the Black Tower Lady!"

Aiyin buried her face in the crook of her arm, letting out a series of broken sobs.

She also couldn't understand: Patieweiya's wish to have the Black Tower Lady fulfill solving the Solitary Wave Problem had clearly been granted, so why was she still sad?

After crying for a while, she finally realized she was still feeling regret for Patieweiya... regret that mediocrity could never cross the chasm of genius, even if the Black Tower Lady disguised it with kind lies, but the stark reality still forced her to see it all.

Although the Black Tower Lady said the Genius Club hardly had any sane members, she still believed that among those eighty-something members, the Black Tower Lady herself was absolutely one of the most normal and mentally sound.

"Hey, you crying?" Lixi crossed her arms, lightly leaned over to observe her.

"I'm not crying! Just the wind blew dust into my eyes just now!" Aiyin wiped her slightly reddened eyes, lifted her head from the table, and added, "Besides, even if I shed tears, they're for the Black Tower Lady's gentleness! And you... Rikki, you're so cold-hearted!"

"I didn't cry! It's just that the wind just made my eyes blurry!" Aiyin wiped her slightly reddened eye corners, lifted her head from the table, "Besides, even if I were to tear up, I'd be tearing up for Lady Black Tower's gentleness! And you... Rikki, you're too cold-hearted!"

"Alright, Lixi, say a little less." Su Shi gently patted Aiyin's back, comforting: "Although the Patieweiya inside the Simulated Universe is false data, in a sense it also makes up for her regret before death. The Black Tower Lady usually has a sharp tongue, but toward those around her she truly has a heart of tofu."

"All right, Li Xi, better say less." Su Shi gently patted Ai Yin on the back, comforting: "Although the Partevia in the simulated universe is false data, in a sense it also makes up for her regret before death. Ms. Heita usually has a sharp tongue, but she really has a tofu heart toward those around her."
