Chapter 529: A Small Request Before Destruction

The meeting ended, and everyone left with different feelings; what Zhang Jie said meant, in their understanding, a counterattack without regard for cost or consequence.

What stage is civilization at now? Of course: "I can lose anything."

Nothing in the world is greater than death; what does the world's destruction have to do with me? I only know we're all about to die.

It wouldn't be surprising if those civilizations went on to do anything shocking.

After coming out, Zhang Jie searched everywhere for Xiao Jiu's small figure; she had just been waiting for him at the door.

Finally, Zhang Jie found Xiao Jiu, who was spacing out, in an unimaginable place.

Looking up, that was a place Xiao Jiu hadn't set foot in for a long time—the Ship Life Entertainment Activity Center.

And she wasn't envious of those Ship Lives; rather, she had received some very bad news.

She didn't dare tell Zhang Jie, but quietly found a spot to space out, start recalling, start thinking about her own ship life.

"Xiao Jiu?"

She turned around, saw Zhang Jie, opened her mouth, and walked toward him.

"Humans..."

"What's this?"

Xiao Jiu:.....

"Humans, let me tell you something bad...."

As Xiao Jiu spoke slowly, Zhang Jie's puzzled expression gradually turned grim, then angry, and finally resigned.

The Ship Lives that Zhang Jie had on the Recycling Space Station were affected by the Heat Death Envoy's ability and dissipated along with that huge nebula.

Those he had picked up, those repaired after being discarded, and those that had followed him from the start—those little guys were all wiped out just by being caught in the other's ability; not a single one remained.

".... What can I do then?"

The Giant Beast hull was also built, the insectoid exoskeleton was also given, and none of the Ship Lives on the Recycling Space Station were anything less than beings capable of easily destroying planets.

For this, they even hunted the Deep Space Giant Beast to extinction.

"Humans... don't be sad..."

"I'm not sad; I have a backup plan."

Xiao Jiu: "Ah?"

"They upload a memory backup every month; that's my requirement, and they're all stored here with me."

After Zhang Jie said that, Xiao Jiu only felt her little mood instantly brighten—no wonder it's humanity!

As long as humanity exists, he will always have a way; in Xiao Jiu's eyes, he is omnipotent.

"Don't worry, I'm angry only because it pains me to think of the materials and time spent building their Giant Beast bodies."

If the consciousness and thoughts of carbon-based life are souls, then data and records are the souls of machines; setting aside certain philosophical issues, at least with memory backups they are not truly dead in the real sense.

"We'll win, right, humans?"

Xiao Jiu looked at Zhang Jie and uttered a phrase full of flags; in her understanding, since he had such means, he must be confident of overcoming the heavenly disaster and thus bringing those Ship Lives back.

Little did they know, Zhang Jie also found this hard to answer, because the only thing he could be certain of was that if he were truly backed into a corner, he would use that AI to destroy the world.

As for what if it can't be destroyed? If it can't be destroyed, then it can't be destroyed; worst case, we just die.

However, seeing Xiao Jiu's eyes full of expectation, Zhang Jie still confidently nodded.

"We'll win."

Zhang Jie ruffled Xiao Jiu's head and began to instruct her.

"Xiao Jiu, is there anything you've wanted to do lately that you haven't done yet?"

"Huh? Do what..."

"It sounds like the universe is about to end...."

Zhang Jie chuckled; it's not like we're about to be finished.

"No, I've prepared a super-awesome cosmic-grade nuclear bomb; one shot and the heavenly disasters will all be done for."

"But the consequence is that all planets will likewise be finished, and you all have to go hide in shelters."

Xiao Jiu looked around at the still-lively scene, then turned her head back to Zhang Jie.

"Is all this going to be gone?"

"Probably, I'm not sure either."

Xiao Jiu began to think, Xiao Jiu began to blush, Xiao Jiu looked toward Zhang Jie.

"Then, humans!"

"You accompany me to have fun.... no! Let's go on a date for a few days!!!"

Perhaps she thought the word 'play' was childish, or perhaps she felt it didn't adequately express their relationship, so Xiao Jiu changed it to 'date'.

"Pfft, sure, I'll accompany you."

Also don't say the Star Sea Commonwealth Council Chairman is still dating at a critical juncture; Zhang Jie now operates on the eighth line, with one less body to work, purely taking a rest.

The AI's training work is also nearing completion; although it now meets Zhang Jie's expectations, he isn't certain what will happen under near-infinite computing power.

Especially since this AI possesses the power to alter reality, any slight discrepancy in reality will inevitably cause an irreparable deviation.

And the wormhole tunnel prepared by the Computer Head has already been completed; going into another space, whatever happens there will not affect them.

Having figured this out, Zhang Jie completely set his mind at ease and decided to experience the vitality of living people in this world together with the Small Ship Girl.

"You've come to the universe's most famous scenic planet; fortunately it's still barely operating, and the light from outside the universe has no effect, for it's the light they emitted in the past."

"You beautifully watched a grand space fireworks display; the Small Ship Girl still has many things she wants to do: experience a VR movie in the flesh, play with you the hottest game in the universe, and try all kinds of specialties from across the universe."

"Fortunately, this little planet can showcase most of the universe's fun; at least it hasn't left Xiao Jiu feeling regretful."

"Time quietly passes; for these few days, it counts as Xiao Jiu's second-most happy and nostalgic period— as for what day is first, only she herself likely knows."

"Soon, it will be time to set sail; the Computer Head specially saved you a spot, and your main body also prepares to board the wormhole shelter together with Xiao Jiu."

If the situation were ideal, you should have stayed in the wormhole with your own Small Ship Girl until the AI resolved everything, or was resolved by the AI, but reality won't let all of this go too smoothly......

Just when you had settled everything, all personnel were in place, ready to enter, the most critical wormhole still hadn't opened......
