Chapter 426

Cassandra's projection paced back and forth in the room.

The Paradox Paradox Dice still lay quietly in the center of the altar.

"The core idea of this plan is indeed ingenious."

She stopped pacing and turned to Luo En:

"But in terms of specific implementation, there are still many details that need to be perfected.

Especially the first step—how to make the Vitalians come into contact with our 'gift'."

Luo En stroked his chin:

"I have thought of two possible ways.

The first is through diplomatic channels, gifting it proactively in the name of a peace offering."

"This method is more direct, but it is also easy to arouse the other party's vigilance."

Cassandra shook her head:

"Then let's choose the second way."

A cunning look appeared in Luo En's eyes:

"Intentionally let a transport ship loaded with the simulation device be intercepted by the Vitalians, letting them 'discover' this technology themselves."

This suggestion made Cassandra's eyes light up.

"Disguised as an accidental leak... that is more natural."

She began to construct a specific action plan in her mind:

"We can arrange for a transport ship that appears to be heavily guarded to carry the 'confidential' simulation device through the war zone."

"Create a 'mistake' at the appropriate time, allowing the Vitalian reconnaissance fleet to discover and intercept it."

"The 'confidential materials' on the transport ship must be made realistic so that they believe this is our important military technology."

Luo En nodded in agreement:

"The Vitalians' collective consciousness will make them quickly analyze this technology, and once they discover its value, curiosity will drive them to study it in depth."

In the following stages, the two conducted more detailed planning:

"Next is to provide a sufficiently tempting personalized experience."

Cassandra brought up a magic projection and began to draw the basic architecture of the virtual world:

"According to your analysis, Vitalians lack individual experience. We can design some feelings that they can never obtain in their collective consciousness."

"For example, the aesthetic of loneliness, the satisfaction of personal achievement, the rebellious pleasure of defying the collective will..."

Luo En added:

"And the most important one—the freedom of choice.

In the virtual world, every Vitalian can make decisions that are entirely their own, without needing to consider the collective interest."

Cassandra's expression became solemn:

"Building a virtual society means creating a complete interactive environment.

Vitalians will establish personal relationships independent of the collective consciousness within it."

"Friends, enemies, lovers, competitors..."

A kind of near-cruel rationality appeared in Luo En's eyes:

"When they get used to this individualized social Master Mo De, the collective consciousness in reality will appear monotonous and oppressive."

"The final stage is the conclusion of the entire plan."

The two said almost simultaneously, then looked at each other and smiled.

"Create conflicts and disagreements within the virtual world, letting different Vitalians support different virtual factions."

An excited look appeared in Cassandra's eyes:

"This disagreement will gradually map onto reality, dividing their collective consciousness."

"When Vitalians start to have disagreements in reality for the sake of interests in the virtual world..."

Luo En's voice became deeper:

"Their unified thought matrix will begin to show cracks, and the power of the Star Domain Lord will be weakened as a result."

The ingenuity of this plan made Cassandra feel heartfelt admiration.

"The most critical point is that the entire process does not require a direct confrontation with the terrifying power of the Star Domain Lord."

Her tone carried a sense of relief:

"We have avoided their areas of strength and turned to attack their weak links."

"And this method can be replicated."

Luo En added:

"Once successfully verified on the Vitalian civilization, this model can be applied to other civilizations with similar characteristics."

Cassandra re-evaluated the strategic value of the young man in front of her.

"If this plan succeeds, you will become a legendary figure in the history of the wizard civilization's conquest."

Her tone carried respect:

"A brand-new Master Mo De of conquest, more efficient and less costly than traditional military conquest."

But as the conversation reached this point, the atmosphere began to become heavy.

Because they both realized that this plan also carried huge risks.

"Virtual world technology itself is a double-edged sword."

Luo En's expression became serious:

"Once it gets out of control, it may backfire on our own civilization; if wizards also become addicted to the virtual world..."

"And the Star Domain Lord's counterattack."

Cassandra added:

"Once it realizes the threat, it may directly destroy the infrastructure of the virtual world. With its power, this is not a difficult task."

"The separatist forces within the expeditionary force are also troublesome."

Worry appeared in her eyes:

"Elizabeth and Melvis and their people might also use this plan to protect their own interests."

Luo En looked at Cassandra deeply:

"Therefore, implementing this plan requires absolute secrecy and precise timing control."

"Only a very small number of people can know the full picture, and it must be completed before the internal contradictions of the expeditionary force erupt completely."

The two fell into a brief silence.

Although he had proposed a seemingly perfect solution, Luo En's heart was not entirely calm.

He clearly realized the essence of this plan:

"This is, in reality, a 'soft massacre' of a civilization on a spiritual level."

He thought silently in his heart:

"Although the Vitalians are enemies, their collective consciousness is also a unique form of civilization."

"If the plan succeeds, it means that a civilization form that has lasted for tens of thousands of years will disappear completely."

"And I will be the initiator of this new type of conquest Master Mo De."

Realizing this layer, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

There was pride in his own wisdom, hidden worries about unknown consequences, and a blurred perception of certain boundaries.

But in this universe where the strong prey on the weak, survival is often more important than morality.

"Every civilization has its own way of survival."

Luo En defended himself in his heart:

"If they weren't standing in our way, none of this would have happened."

Cassandra seemed to sense the fluctuation in his heart and took the initiative to speak:

"In this universe, compassion is a luxury.

Everything we do is for the sake of continuation and development; this is a choice every intelligent race must face."

"Moreover, compared to direct military conquest, this method is already much more merciful.

At least the Vitalians will not feel pain; they will gradually evolve in happiness."

Cassandra brought the topic back to the implementation level.

"How long will it take to complete the specific technical details?"

"The basic architecture will take about half a year."

Luo En began to calculate the specific schedule:

"But to make it realistic and attractive enough, it will require at least ten years of careful design."

"That is too long."

Cassandra frowned:

"The internal division of the expeditionary force cannot wait that long; I need to see preliminary results within three months."

"We can consider phased implementation."

Luo En proposed a compromise plan:

"First, create a simplified version to verify basic feasibility. Then, continuously improve and expand it during the implementation process."

"That is indeed more realistic."

Cassandra's expression softened:

"And phased implementation can also reduce risks; if problems arise, they can be adjusted in time."

As the conversation drew to a close, Cassandra raised a key question:

"This plan requires a lot of technical support and resource investment; what kind of team do you need?"
