Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Xing gazed listlessly at the paintings beside her inside the laboratory of the Simulated Universe within Hei Ta's space.

The walls hung with portraits of several geniuses, along with Hei Ta's childhood self-portrait.

That little appearance was even more soft and adorable than the Hei Ta puppet.

At the end of the laboratory corridor, a portrait behind a golden light curtain stood particularly conspicuous.

The other geniuses' portraits all had blue light curtains; this gold one, no need to guess, was Xuan Ge.

Xing leaned close to the portrait, carefully dusting the edges of the light curtain.

Xuan Ge still wore that dark silver-white cloud-patterned general's uniform, only now a Q-version Xiao Hei Ta pendant hung at his waist.

She remembered that what originally hung at Xuan Ge's waist was the jade pendant Dan Heng had given her.

"Xiao Hui Mao, look at Xuan Ge less; what's so good-looking about him." Hei Ta pushed the door in, and seeing Xing practically pressed against the portrait, reminded her in a displeased tone.

"Xuan Ge, you're here." Hearing the familiar voice, Xing immediately turned her head to look.

The instant she saw Xuan Ge, she directly ignored Hei Ta's complaint, a brightness rising in her eyes.

"Hehe~" Ruan Mei stood to the side; catching sight of Hei Ta's jealous look, she couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

"How is it, these past few days, played well enough?" Xuan Ge nodded at the enthusiastic Xing, his tone gentle.

Kafka dotes on Xing, and he is the same, loving the house and its crow.

Xing has gray hair and golden eyes; usually silent, she is an ice queen.

But... when there's fun to be had, the moment she opens her mouth... forget it, better to sit at a table with March 7th.

"Dan Heng and Bai Lu took us all around the Luo Fu." Xing walked quickly up to Xuan Ge, speaking with a smile.

"We'll rest a few days, might go check out Shen Wu; Ji Zi said after we go to Pinocchio, we'll go to the other Xianzhou."

"All right~ prepare to test." Seeing Xing want to squeeze over and get close to Xuan Ge, Hei Ta immediately spoke up to interrupt.

She walked quickly to the console and began adjusting the equipment, her tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Ruan Mei walked to the side and lightly smoothed the hair by her left ear.

"At minimum, Xing should go first."

She mused inwardly: Xuan Ge would certainly draw the Aeons to watch; the Simulated Universe might not hold.

"Then I'll go first! In the Simulated Universe, I am Aki Vili!"

Xing set her hands on her hips, lifted her chin at Xuan Ge, her tone full of a little showing off.

"Hehe~ you indeed are." Xuan Ge raised a hand and rubbed Xing's head, signaling she could begin, himself watching from the side.

Xing felt not the slightest shame; on the contrary, she felt this was her due.

She turned her head to look at Hei Ta, tone serious: "Can't we go together? I have to protect Xuan Ge."

"You're still using 'We'?" Hei Ta operated the equipment while glancing sideways and rolling her eyes at Xing.

"What, you still want to take Xuan Ge as a consort?"

"Why not?" A flash of disappointment crossed Xing's face, but vanished in an instant.

She walked to the test position, gave Hei Ta a thumbs-up, signaling she was ready.

Xuan Ge stood at Hei Ta's side, gaze fixed on the projection; Xing had already entered the simulated space, her figure gradually turning blurry.

Hei Ta gave Xing a few light words of guidance, then spoke no more.

The road ahead must be chosen by Xing herself; she could not decide for Xing.

"Simulated Universe, simulate simulate, as the name implies."

Xuan Ge watched for a moment, then grasped the principle, and turned to look at Hei Ta.

"Want to get close to an Aeon? Just come find me; need me to take you to meet one...."

His words weren't finished when Ruan Mei interrupted.

Ruan Mei lightly put her arm around Xuan Ge's shoulder and laughed softly: "This is scientific research; besides, the answer isn't important."

"Exactly, who reads a book only reading the last page?"

Hei Ta nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Ruan Mei's words.

"Has anyone said this book isn't good so they won't read it? No process at all, just listening to someone else's one-sided account, not experiencing it themselves — such a person will forever be a useless waste."

"Taking prejudices chewed by others as holy communion, and swallowing them down with grateful thanks."

Hei Ta's words were flat, yet every word biting and sarcastic: "The only proof they're alive is that their vocal cords can still echo others' voices."

"Worthy of the most human genius." Xuan Ge laughed lightly, fully agreeing with Hei Ta's words.

Though these words were biting, they spoke the truth completely.

Xuan Ge thought of Dahlia — knowing he was dangerous, yet still willing to approach, ultimately getting her wish fulfilled.

The brave never fear failure; such people don't consider starting over a punishment, but a kind of growth.

"All right, Xiao Hui Mao's coming out." Hei Ta promptly cut off the topic, eyes fixed on the console.

She operated swiftly, guiding Xing back from the simulated space.

"Hah~ I'm so awesome!" The moment Xing stepped out of the light curtain, she set her hands on her hips and started praising herself.

Xuan Ge, Hei Ta, and Ruan Mei all offered no rebuttal; after all, she had just gone and beaten the Propagation Insect Swarm.

"Go on." Hei Ta waved at Xuan Ge, tone serious.

She had long been prepared to deal at any moment with the consequences of the Simulated Universe overloading.

Xing took a step back, her gaze fixed tightly on Xuan Ge.

Watching Xuan Ge walk into the golden light curtain, his figure gradually disappearing, Hei Ta and Ruan Mei exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated the test program.

Blinding white light exploded before Xuan Ge's eyes.

He did not close his eyes; instead, through the white light, he carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The view switched abruptly, and Xuan Ge found himself already situated in a vast starry sky.

Starlight was brilliant all around, yet it carried an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Xuan Ge, release some power."

Hei Ta's voice transmitted through the light curtain, landing clearly in Xuan Ge's ears.

Xuan Ge raised an eyebrow slightly and asked softly, "Which kind?"

Hei Ta: "........."

She was just about to speak, to have Xuan Ge use the Hunt's power first.

But before she could speak, a vast Destruction power had already swept across the entire Simulated Universe.

"What's going on?" Outside the laboratory, Xing looked at the flashing red lights on the console, her face full of confusion as she looked toward Hei Ta.

Not only did the Aeon of Destruction come, but other Star Gods also descended one after another.

While complaining verbally, Hei Ta rapidly operated the console, attempting to adjust the data: "Why did they all come?"

A weird power suddenly struck, interrupting her operation.

The console ejected an electric current, directly flicking away Hei Ta's fingers.

"Aha?" Hei Ta looked at the pattern emerging on the console, a smiling red mask.

She realized instantly; this was the Star God of Joy Aha's doing.

In the Simulated Universe, Xuan Ge looked at the many Star Gods gathered before him, his brows furrowing slightly.

Abundance, Harmony, and Hunt stood behind him, the aura around them taut.

He inexplicably had an illusion, as if the next second he would go to war with the Star Gods before him — but this is just a simulation, don't mess around....

"Lan!"

The Aeon of Destruction Nanuk's expression appeared calm, yet his tone was full of rage.

This single word, carrying vast Destruction power, shook the surrounding starry sky into a slight tremor.

"He was originally mine! Mine!" Nanuk didn't say another word, directly bestowing the Destruction Blessing, striking toward Xuan Ge's direction.

His intention was very obvious: he wanted to snatch the person.

The Hunt Lan remained silent, with no superfluous words.

He slowly drew the bow and nocked the arrow, the arrowhead condensing vast Hunt power.

One arrow shot out, precisely hitting the Destruction Blessing, severing it in an instant.

"Ahahaha—" The Star God of Joy Aha's laughter reverberated through the starry sky, full of mockery and joy.

"Nanuk's beloved toy was snatched away by Lan, won't he cry and make a fuss~"

Aha fanned the flames from the side, deliberately rendering a 'Fight! Fight!' atmosphere.
