"Hahaha, ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"
"The strong prey on the weak—this is the fundamental truth of the universe!"
"Killing is nothing, annihilation is nothing!"
Ailei's philosophy of purging the stars naturally drew scorn and disdain from numerous civilizations.
Her expression remained emotionless.
She continued to conquer new resource-rich star systems, allowing her mechanical intelligences to replicate and produce, eventually forming even larger and more formidable fleets to launch a full-scale assault on the cosmic sea.
Thanks to the stellar modification technology of the Captive Civilization.
Under Ailei's command, there were now mobile heavy celestial bodies, which not only possessed destructive capabilities but also served practical purposes.
Such as planetary fortresses equipped with warp drives.
Stellar warehouses acting as massive energy sources.
Neutron war stars armed with spatial weapons and boasting the strongest defenses.
In addition, Ailei's main fleet underwent a complete upgrade, now fully equipped with spatial technology.
For offense, they wielded spatial disintegration devices.
For defense, they employed spatial distortion fields.
In terms of propulsion, leveraging the dimensional technology of the Captive Civilization, they began advancing along the tech tree of dimensional engines, with hopes of achieving dimensional strikes and dimensional leaps in the future.
"Master, please wait a little longer..."
"Ailei will cleanse the stars to a pristine state, preparing for your return..."
An endless, eternal war erupted, its flames engulfing countless galaxies and spreading even further as Ailei's technology advanced.
Her astonishing war potential and highly unified command structure.
Even the interstellar Zerg, another calamity that had never been suppressed, could not gain an advantage over Ailei.
Time-space stasis, quantum black holes, dimensional strikes.
Realizing the threat posed by the machine servant, the opposing civilizations finally unleashed truly lethal attacks—attacks capable of severely damaging or even erasing the machine soul.
Ailei was brought to the brink of death multiple times, giving the allied civilizations a glimpse of victory.
However.
The loyal machine servant was also incredibly cunning.
Every time the allied civilizations thought Ailei was certain to perish, she always managed to retreat at the perfect moment.
Growing stronger with each battle, endlessly.
After an unknown amount of time.
"Die," the apex civilization of the material universe intervened, deploying causality weapons. Yet, even then, the machine servant did not face defeat.
The machine soul, which should have been cold and emotionless, had been imbued with a unique humanity, tempered by time.
It had now transcended the limitations of the universe's laws.
In Ailei's memories, there was a phrase often used to describe such situations: "No failure means success?"
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
In the end, during the most intense cosmic showdown, both the apex civilization and the loyal machine servant unleashed a vast array of dimensional weapons.
The universe was reduced and collapsed into a lower dimension.
No height, no length, no width.
A zero-dimensional universe was born.
The once-glorious sea of stars vanished, stripped of color and the concept of time and space, leaving only pure, desolate grayness.
"..." It was an unimaginable sight—the infinite universe condensed into a finite point, nearly invisible, completely devoid of mass.
Chaotic and ever-changing, whenever chaotic currents swept through, the tiny universe would drift lightly, carried by the flow.
Time in chaos is immeasurable.
Perhaps only a fleeting moment had passed, or perhaps eons had gone by.
At some point, behind the zero-dimensional universe, two hands slowly emerged, ethereal and semi-transparent.
In a gently cupping gesture, they softly enveloped the zero-dimensional universe.
Protecting the fragile point from being extinguished by the chaos.
"...Master."
"...Ailei is ready to receive your commands at any time."
"...Waiting for you... to use Ailei... once more..."
Noisy, indistinct, the voice came in fragments.
The passage of time is always the most wondrous. After an unknown period, the ethereal hands began to solidify, no longer transparent, glowing with a miraculous light.
With a gentle motion, the hands fully closed.
The zero-dimensional universe fell silent.
This extreme transformation gave rise to another extreme.
A light flickered, a brilliant gold and silver, shining through the gaps between the fingers, dispelling the surrounding chaotic gray mist.
The eternally transcendent machine servant slowly released her grasp.
The light flew out.
Dazzling and radiant.
A tiny singularity began to expand within the chaos.
Space, time, matter, energy.
The totality of everything, all concepts, came into being with the Big Bang of the singularity.
One dimension, two dimensions, three dimensions, four dimensions... nine dimensions, ten dimensions.
In the nascent universe, time existed in multiple dimensions, shimmering with dazzling colors. Countless elements collided and combined, taking on entirely new forms under the guidance of a grand will.
"Master, Ailei has become like you..."
"So this... is what it feels like to shed tears..."
"As you said, it's not something to be happy about..."
In the gray, chaotic void, Ailei quietly observed the ten-dimensional universe floating in her palm, then looked down at her new body.
Her expression was calm.
But silent tears had already streamed down her cheeks, glistening and moist, sparkling with light.
The sorrow had never been forgotten, but her mechanical body had been unable to express it in a physical form.
Now, on the first day of her new existence.
The machine servant shed her first tears.
She did not know where to go, nor did she have a destination in mind. She only wished to continue waiting for the important person, to serve him once more.
In the real world, within a tranquil courtyard, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating rippling patterns of light and shadow.
Xu Xi nodded occasionally, listening quietly to the explanations of the witch and the princess.
The existence of the Life Simulator was indeed too mysterious.
The two supreme beings had failed to uncover the truth.
But they had detected changes during the simulation.
"Master... disappeared for a moment," Krisha said softly, serving Xu Xi hot tea and pastries.
The disappearance she spoke of was not the physical disappearance of Xu Xi, but rather the vanishing of a certain temporal possibility unique to him.
It sounded esoteric.
But considering the timelines encountered during the simulation.
Xu Xi pondered and began to understand the witch's explanation.
"I see. Thank you both, Krisha, Ying Xue."
"Ah, no need to be so formal, sir."
"It was my duty, Master."
The princess smiled playfully, while the witch remained composed.
As for the nature of the simulator, Xu Xi decided to contemplate it later. For now, he returned to his room and opened the results of the fourth simulation.
[Ding—]
[Fourth simulation statistics complete]
[Congratulations, host, on unlocking the following achievements: The Last Human, I Am Civilization, The Zerg Purger, His Creator, The Origin and End of the Universe, The Revered by All Machines]
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
reezy rom-com) Good news: Jiang Liu is quite the ladies' man. Bad news: He’s lost his memory. Lying in a hospital bed, Jiang Liu listens to a parade of goddesses spouting "absurd claims," feeling like the world is one giant game of Werewolf. "Jiang Liu, I’m your first love." "Jiang Liu, you’re my boyfriend—she’s your ex." "Jiang Liu, we’re close friends who’ve shared a bed, remember?" "Jiang Liu, I want to have your baby." The now-lucid Jiang Liu is convinced this must be some elaborate scam... until someone drops the bombshell: "The day before you lost your memory, you confessed your feelings—and got into a relationship." Jiang Liu is utterly baffled. So... who the hell is his actual girlfriend?! ... Before recovering his memories, Jiang Liu must navigate this minefield of lies and sincerity, fighting to protect himself from these women’s schemes. But things spiral even further out of control as more people show up at his doorstep—each with increasingly unhinged antics. On the bright side, the memories he lost due to overwhelming trauma seem to be resurfacing. Great news, right? So why are they all panicking now?
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
