Him and their stars.

Chapter 2043 "The Returned Ones" and "The Unifiers"

A dazzling galaxy formed a flowing spiritual universe within his sea of ​​consciousness. The magnificent spectacle even surpassed the previous ascending cycles.

The spiritual galaxy pulsed ceaselessly, and in the depths of Yu Lian's heart, it reflected a divine name condensed from indescribable concepts.

"I am the one who has returned to the truth! The first one to return to the truth in this generation of civilization!" Yu Lian raised his head, pointed to the sky, and struck a pose as if he were the only one who could be supreme in the heavens and the earth.

"Returning to the True Nature? Oh, that fits perfectly with the high-conceptual interpretation of multidimensionality, the string world, and the two sides of the universe by a certain forbidden school of thought. Although it conforms to variables, it doesn't conform to logic. However, at this level, you should have learned to mold quantum fluctuations into a bonsai, right? Of course, that's something you should be proud of." Little Gray clapped his hands as he spoke words that Yu Lian still couldn't understand.

In reality, Yu Lian wasn't as excited as he had imagined.

He remains so calm that even he finds it frightening, but this is, after all, the appearance of a demigod. Even if it's just for the sake of ritual, he should at least make a statement.

In fact, when he first became a psionicist, he had already thought about what pose he should strike after becoming a demigod.

Now, the two lifetimes combined have probably amounted to a full sixty years, and it has finally come true.

At that moment, he inexplicably felt that his youth was about to end.

“Then I’ll be the one who integrates reality and illusion. Although I might not be the first one in this generation of civilization, I’ll definitely be the first among Earthlings,” Fei Fei said with a smile.

Earthlings? Well, considering that cultural identity and self-identity far outweigh the concept of blood ties, it's not unreasonable for Fei Fei to say that.

Xiao Hui continued his commentary: "The unity between consciousness and matter is also one of the most ignorant research directions of that forbidden matter school. Existence itself does not need proof. However, at this point, if your man is beaten to pieces in the future, it will be much easier to pick up the bones."

Yu Lian and Fei Fei pretended not to hear the robot lady's sarcastic remarks, and cheered with expressions that met the basic standard of elation. They gave each other a high five and a close hug, but that was all.

Now that they've become demigods, they should naturally be proud, but to be honest, their excitement at this moment is not even as great as when they received their acceptance letters from the lunar military academy.

It all seemed like a natural outcome.

Is it really because he's experienced 514 lifetimes? Because of so many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, this mere demigod has lost his sense of excitement?

Yu Lian stared at Fei Fei. Although his memories of 514 lifetimes were very blurry, some things were impossible to forget.

At least two hundred times, she was probably with him. Either she accompanied him to the afterlife, or she saw him off on his final journey and then raised their children alone. She truly was a great and virtuous wife and loving mother, whose life was arduous yet celebrated... well, many lives.

Of course, he also remembered that there were several times when he actually died at her hands.

The more successful Feifei is in her career, the more likely she is to take action.

The most dangerous time was the 114th time, as Xiao Hui mentioned. Yu Lian vaguely remembered that during that period, his career progressed rapidly and smoothly. Before he was even 24 years old, he had ignited the war between the Empire and Earth.

The explanation of "igniting" is confusing; it sounds like something I did on purpose, but I can't remember exactly how.

Since it's an illusion, many of its settings are abstract and idealistic, so it's perfectly normal not to remember things clearly.

In short, he achieved unprecedented military exploits and prestige in this war of national defense. He not only defeated the invading army and built an unbreakable base for himself, but also rose to the eighth rank in the flames of war.

When he returns to Earth, becoming a dictator will be a natural next step.

...It sounds quite familiar.

Then, at the age of thirty, through a series of maneuvers within the palace and government, in military, cultural, and political spheres, he ensured that the Earth expanded into a true third pole.

Just as he was preparing to launch a counterattack during the imperial civil war, Fei Fei, who had always been by his side, his closest lover and comrade-in-arms, appeared from a different direction. She appeared wearing a strange fly-head mask and a black robe that was completely unsuitable for movement, and she appeared at his military parade.

She easily evaded the guards' pursuit, nimbly moving in front of him like a wild monkey, and then plunged the sword into her chest.

This is the 114th "Requiem". According to Xiao Hui, this time he felt the most resentment, and he almost succeeded in creating that Eye of Paradox.

He must have harbored a lot of resentment. Otherwise, would you believe that a dignified Eighth Ring would not fight back against an assassin? This is clearly a flawed change.

"So, why is that?" Yu Lian asked suspiciously.

Feifei also showed a thoughtful expression. Clearly, the hundreds of experiences had blurred her memory. After nearly half a minute, she revealed a subtle expression as if she were recalling the events of the last century.

“You’ve become a tyrant,” Fei Fei said.

"I have always been a tyrant."

"It seems you've gone too far this time. You've enacted very strict laws and a military mobilization system, and the people's tolerance has reached its limit. In addition, you've also enacted something like the 'Evil Factor Exclusion Law' and the 'National Ascension Plan.' The former is to eliminate all evil genetic traits from Earthlings. In other words, anyone who has a genetic disease or whose ancestors had it is not qualified to live."

"A brilliant idea. Any powerful ruler who goes this crazy will inevitably be overthrown within two generations."

"Yes, so you've been overturned." Fei Fei laughed. "Even your bedmate, who's been with you in your evil deeds, can't stand it anymore, let alone anyone else. I should ask you what you were thinking! What normal person would think of doing something like this?"

"This is the genetic advancement of the entire population. Quantum entanglement makes me think that the last empire that did this might have lasted for more than five hundred years."

"The fact that it has lasted for twenty years is because the people are too ignorant."

"You're right. I'm reflecting on my actions." Yu Lian shrugged and turned to look at Xiao Hui: "And this is the last time. Was that Fei Fei on the train just now actually you?"

"This is a dream entanglement of you psionicists. Even an omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent civilization-guiding AI like my sister needs an opportunity to intervene. In your imagined worldview and historical process, I shouldn't exist, so of course I can only intervene in a just-right way."

At this point, Little Grey also showed a sad expression: "As expected, I shouldn't exist in your world."

“There are far too many people in his world who don’t exist,” Fei Fei said irritably. “He’s already obsessed with his great achievements as a conqueror and tyrant.”

Little Grey sneered, "But in the 514th simulation, you chose to become him. After he died in an assassination attempt, you took over his identity and his karma." Fei Fei shrugged, "Intuition. Well, maybe my subconscious just wanted to explore a new possibility. Maybe subconsciously, I even felt excited after seeing him assassinated."

"So, I was this weak the last time?" Yu Lian clutched his chest and took a step back, pointing at Fei Fei with a shocked, horrified expression.

"And then, you let her kill you willingly?" Xiao Hui glared at Yu Lian again.

"Of course, it's also intuition." Yu Lian also said seriously, "I felt the cycle going on, and perhaps I also sensed the limits of my spirit and physical strength in the dark. Actively embracing destruction and rebirth, and going with the flow, is the ultimate principle of my Taoism."

"You idiot! You're just relying on your wild instincts to try your luck," Little Grey sneered.

"Don't mimic me," Fei Fei said irritably.

Yu Lian put his hands on his hips, revealing a proud expression: "Even if it was just luck, it's still my skill!"

"You tried your luck 513 times before finally getting it right once," Little Gray said. "You two were just brute force. Only when both of you make the right choices at the same time can you unlock it."

Yu Lian chuckled awkwardly three times, then said, "Luckily, I made the right choice before reaching my limit."

According to Xiao Hui's calculations, with their combined mental strength, they could only last for 600 rounds. Given this, wouldn't this battle be extremely dangerous?

The robot lady continued to explain: "The solution to the paradox lies in introducing a non-deterministic measurement event. And this event, first and foremost, is you, Fina. Your actions have introduced a new variable into Yulian's path of conquest."

"Oh?" Yu Lian asked in surprise.

Feifei, however, offered an explanation: "It's latent wisdom within the genes. This isn't quantum entanglement. Fish, although he's a cultivated human, his genetic origins are probably far more prestigious than you might imagine."

"That's not important. Feifei is Feifei." The girl herself doesn't care about her multi-dimensional soul acting out the role, so why should I care where she was born?

“It’s really not important. If you think it’s important, then it’s betrayal. I’ll beat you to death,” Fei Fei laughed.

"Please, you two hopeless carbon-based monkeys, behave yourselves. I know that no matter how high your psionic power level, carbon-based monkeys will still have the habit of unconsciously going into heat, but I hope you two can restrain yourselves a bit," Little Gray said irritably.
"In short, Fina used the knowledge she gained from the genetic mutation to conquer the battlefield, bringing variables to the constant illusion and the constant closed space that were beyond the prediction of the Eye of Paradox."

Does this mean that the Void Realm Lord saw all my predictions, but Fei Fei predicted his? Or is it that the "innate wisdom of genes" is something the Eye of Paradox completely overlooked?

As a qualified commander, Yu Lian began to review and reflect on the situation.

He didn't think he had lost to Fei Fei, but he needed to figure out where things went wrong.

"As for Yu Lian, he actively chose death. You are conducting an ultimate observation of zero-energy exchange! Your voluntary action has collapsed the quantum state of you and Fei Fei, these two 'particles,' into an absolutely certain state. In this way, the paradox becomes a paradox."

Yu Lian and Fei Fei exchanged a glance. Neither of them were theoretical physicists, which made them even more convinced that the other was trying to fool them.

"No need to say anything more, I was just fooling you. I can submit a report on the specific results of my observations, but it depends on whether you dare to give it to anyone else," Little Gray said.

Yu Lian shrugged: "Why wouldn't I dare? I would even dare to hand it over to the Alliance and the Empire, as long as they pay a sufficient price."

Anyway, they don't know the upgrade material formula and array configuration yet.

Feifei sincerely expressed her gratitude: "Thank you very much, Senior Gray."

"This time it's not Granny Gray and Granny Gray the Witch?" Little Gray raised his flawless eyebrows and brow bone: "I've really seen through you two mushy couple."

"So that you know, I've always only had respect for you." Fei Fei grinned, revealing a row of healthy, white, round teeth, and said seriously, "You've observed 514 of our lives, and you've even been involved in more than one."

Little Grey looked at the latter meaningfully: "Yes, I observed for 18799 years and intervened for 3127 years. Even for me, this was an agonizing journey. However, I am a civilization-guiding robot, and the vast amount of information can satisfy my analytical needs. We simply exchange information. Thanks to you, I guess I've also upgraded. Congratulations to me."

She let out a monotone laugh, then clapped her hands.

Yu Lian was still very curious about the upgraded features of Xiao Hui, but before he could ask, the other party said, "Of course, congratulations to yourselves. You've finally achieved a standard upgrade, haven't you?"
This is certainly something to be moved by.

Yu Lian felt he should be excited on the spot, this was an achievement he had unlocked in two lifetimes! What's more, it was the "Balance" of the first demigod in the history of this generation of civilization.

“You’ve become a demigod, Feifei!” Yu Lian said. “I have mastered the Touch of Return to Truth, which is the power to dispel the corruption of the illusory realm and the erosion of concepts. I can sense the disturbance of cause and effect and the return to the origin, and I started planning from the very beginning.”

“A demigod, my little fish.” Fei Fei looked at her lover and childhood sweetheart, her eyes shimmering with tears. Her fingertips gently stroked his cheek, her voice as soft as a Tennessee voice filled with twenty years of life: “I knew about the world of my own back when I was a child, and I was already looking forward to this day when I knew I was destined to become the Black Moon. Besides, I am now the ‘Unifier of Reality and Illusion.’ I create images, destroy images, and then I can interfere with reality from nothingness.”

That sounds really strange.

"So now, all I need is a single hair from the fish to live as long as heaven and earth. Hehe, I've never lacked anything in that regard."

“You don’t seem very happy,” Yu Lian said.

Feifei said proudly, "Who am I? I am a cyborg cultivated by the Empire using the Enlightened Black Technology. Every cell wall and every gene is engraved with an array of psionic energy. Shouldn't it be a matter of course that I can reach this realm?"

If you were that gloomy Earl Black Moon in your past life, you wouldn't have reached the level of a demigod. Yu Lian thought.

“However, in the long entanglement with the Eye of Paradox, in these nearly 20,000 years of hazy time, I have vaguely captured some very important information.” Feifei pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, “Do you remember what I just said? The genetic origin of my Cultivator may be more noble than you imagine.”

"So, what you're talking about is..."

“Of course we can’t be sure right now. We can ask Shirley after we get out,” Fifi said.

Looking at his lover, Yu Lian was thankfully not foolish enough to ask something as stupid as "Why ask Xia Li?" which would make him seem like an NPC.

However, this probably cannot be described using the term "quantum entanglement."

“Furthermore, it’s certain that the Emperor is ‘Eternal,’ and shares the same star ring as me. I sensed it,” Fei Fei said. Her voice was deep, and her deep amber eyes gazed into the distance.
