Then, Su Yang followed in silently and poured a glass of water for Lu Chenyuan without a word.
He then began tidying up one of the electronic whiteboards already filled with notes, archiving Lu Ruoxi’s flowing thoughts into encrypted storage.
His movements were practiced and natural, as if he had repeated this action countless times.
"Brother, look."
Lu Ruoxi pointed at one of the whiteboards.
On it, there were no complex neural network diagrams—just an abstract, seemingly suspended sphere surrounded by bewildering mathematical symbols.
"All our work until now has been based on 'bits.' Either 0 or 1."
"We’ve made them increasingly complex, increasingly powerful."
"But now, I realize we might have chosen the wrong foundation from the very beginning."
Her pen drew a large X over the classic 0 and 1.
"We shouldn’t keep searching for treasure on a two-dimensional map."
Her gaze grew unfathomably deep.
"We should create a new universe."
Lu Chenyuan looked at his sister, then at the whiteboard covered in symbols as cryptic as ancient scriptures.
Suddenly, he understood—what she was doing was even greater, even more audacious than creating "Kaitian" itself.
She was aiming to overturn the very cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence.
"What Ruoxi means is…" Su Yang interjected at just the right moment, his voice tinged with unmistakable reverence and pride.
"She plans to introduce a 'quantum architecture' to the field of artificial intelligence."
"If you think of today’s large models as using abacuses to calculate pi, where we’re only competing over who has the bigger or faster abacus…"
"Then what she’s attempting now is inventing the computer."
Su Yang’s analogy instantly clarified the revolutionary nature of her work for Lu Chenyuan.
"A bit is a switch—either on or off. But a quantum bit can be both on and off simultaneously. A single qubit can carry exponentially more information," Su Yang added.
"What she’s building is a true AI brain, not just a supercomputer simulating one."
Lu Chenyuan studied his sister.
She was still slender, still quiet.
Yet within her, it was as if an entire universe was exploding into being.
"This path… is difficult," Lu Chenyuan said, his voice low.
"I know."
"There might be no results."
"I know."
"Then why—"
"But, brother," Lu Ruoxi interrupted, her gaze seeming to pierce through physical barriers,
"It’s there."
"I’ve seen it."
"I’ve seen the door—the one leading to a higher-dimensional computational space."
"I can’t pretend I haven’t."
With that, she turned back to the whiteboard, picked up her pen, and lost herself in her world once more.
Nothing else existed in her eyes now—only those cold yet infinitely captivating mathematical symbols.
Time itself seemed to freeze in that moment.
Lu Chenyuan stood there, silent for a long while.
He suddenly felt an invisible chasm opening between him and his sister.
He could move the world with capital and strategy.
He had even set his sights on the stars.
But he could no longer keep up with her thoughts.
Her mind was ascending at a terrifying speed, soaring toward heights ordinary human intellect could never reach.
Watching her solitary figure immersed in that realm of pure reason, an inexplicable ache welled up in his chest.
It’s lonely at the top.
This road was destined to be walked alone.
Just then, Su Yang stepped forward and draped a thin jacket lightly over Lu Ruoxi’s shoulders.
Then, he picked up the long-cold cup of coffee from her desk and walked out.
Moments later, he returned with a steaming glass of milk in its place.
He set it down beside her hand.
Not a single word passed between them.
Lu Ruoxi didn’t seem to notice either.
Yet the faintest hint of a smile touched the corner of her lips.
Having done this, Su Yang didn’t leave.
Instead, he pulled up a chair nearby, opened his laptop, and began translating the fragmented theoretical sketches from Lu Ruoxi’s whiteboard into quantum simulation algorithms that could run on classical computers.
This was his way of keeping pace with her.
He might never fly beside her at the same altitude of thought.
But he would always be the control tower behind her—clearing her runway, replenishing her fuel, ensuring she could fly higher and farther.
Seeing this, Lu Chenyuan’s worries eased.
His sister wasn’t alone.
Because she had Su Yang.
A companion willing to spend a lifetime looking up to her, guarding her, following her.
That was enough.
...
Time slipped by unnoticed.
In the crib, little Lu Shi’an stirred and let out a soft whimper.
The baby was hungry.
Lu Chenyuan walked over and lifted his son into his arms.
He mouthed a silent farewell to Lu Ruoxi and Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded in acknowledgment.
Lu Ruoxi remained lost in her world.
Carrying his son, Lu Chenyuan left the office that belonged to the future.
Back in his car, he expertly prepared a bottle and fed the hungry child.
Lu Shi’an drank eagerly, his dark, grape-like eyes fixed curiously on his father.
Gazing into those pure, innocent eyes, Lu Chenyuan found Lu Ruoxi’s words echoing in his mind:
"It’s there."
"I’ve seen it."
Suddenly, he smiled.
He bent down and kissed his son’s warm forehead.
"An'an," he whispered.
"Your aunt is drawing us a map of a new universe."
"And what Daddy must do is build a ship."
"A ship that can carry us anywhere on that map."
He looked up, his vision piercing through the windshield toward the cloudless blue sky—and beyond it, the unfathomable depths of space.
Everyone has their own battlefield.
Lu Ruoxi’s was at the farthest edge of theory.
His was among the distant stars.
Together, the siblings were pushing the boundaries of human civilization forward—one relentless centimeter at a time.
Just then, his phone rang.
Mo Qingli was calling.
"Chenyuan, how’s Ruoxi?"
Her voice instantly pulled Lu Chenyuan back from the abstract world of pure reason to the tangible present.
Instead of answering, he said something entirely unexpected:
"Qingli, I love you. I miss you—so, so much right now."
There was a palpable pause on the other end. After six or seven years together, Lu Chenyuan rarely spoke such words.
Then, a voice full of tenderness came through the phone, reaching Lu Chenyuan's ears.
"Mhm, Chenyuan, I love you too. You and Shi'an, come pick me up after work."
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
