Su Mo calmly gave the simplest answer.

"That's right..."

Upon hearing this, Estelle choked slightly, then revealed a helpless expression, her gaze towards Su Mo a hundred times more fervent than when she first learned he was the only god.

"As you said, this key is used to open the door, and according to the information I obtained from Lady Black Tower, the door that this key can open is the library of the erudite monk!"

At this point, the researchers around Estelle finally realized what she meant, and disbelief filled their eyes.

"how is this possible?"

"Was the key to the library bestowed by the learned gentleman himself?"

"Doesn't that mean—?!"

The way they looked at Su Mo was either fanatical, respectful, or filled with deep jealousy.

Amidst the noise, Estádio nodded slightly, confirming everyone's suspicions.

"That's right, this Key of Wisdom is an invitation issued by the Venerable One. Whoever possesses this key has the right to enter the library. Historically, eighty-four people have accepted this key, including the owner of this space station—Ms. Black Tower."

"And without exception, they all became members of the genius club."

After saying that, Estádio bowed deeply to Su Mo.

"Congratulations, no, I should say congratulations to the world for welcoming two geniuses at the same time."

140 Unprecedented examples of denying seats to geniuses?

Members of the Genius Club are equivalent to those who have gained the approval of the Venerable Master.

Unlike the messengers of other Star Gods, members of the Genius Club, regardless of whether they directly obtained messenger-level power from the Venerable Master, are entitled to messenger-level treatment.

Even a dominant force like Interstellar Peace Corporation treats geniuses with utmost respect.

Because these groundbreaking geniuses are truly capable of creating weapons comparable to, or even surpassing, those of the Commander level, using only mortal bodies.

Just like Calderon Chadwick, the 79th member of the Genius Club, his imaginary number collapse pulse weapon, despite his weak individual combat strength, is powerful enough to destroy large star systems.

For these geniuses, the power of wisdom far outweighs mere violence.

From the perspective of promoting the development of civilization, the value of these geniuses far surpasses that of ordinary messengers.

The Interstellar Peace Corporation even abandoned its plan to exterminate the entire Omnic race simply because Screwgoom was chosen by Bosch to become a member of the Genius Club.

Knowing all these stories, Estelle deeply understood how awe-inspiring it was that Herculean had extended invitations to both of them at the same time.

To put it bluntly, this is even more capable of changing the landscape of the universe than the previously evolved machine-type legion.

Wow, a member of the genius club, that sounds amazing!

March 7th looked at Su Mo with a face full of admiration.

Although I don't quite understand just how amazing she is, judging from Estádio's appearance, it's enough that she's quite astonishing.

After her initial surprise, she looked curiously at Fanlou, who was standing blankly behind Su Mo.

"I know Lord Su Mo is very powerful, but is Fanlou also that strong? How did they manage to receive an invitation?"

In her eyes, Fanlou was like a little girl full of questions, just like a child.

Looking at her adorable appearance, shouldn't she be just as silly as me?

How did I suddenly receive an invitation from Bo Shizun and become one of the geniuses?

Before Su Mo could even begin to explain the mystery surrounding March 7th, Ji Zi, standing to the side, couldn't help but facepalm.

"Little March, have you forgotten that this child is the creator of the Mech race?"

Although Fanlou always seemed dull-witted, they never dared to underestimate this master of the mechanical race.

How could something so sophisticated and capable of constantly evolving be simple?

"Oh? That's right!"

March 7th glanced at the machine-type legion overhead before realizing what was happening.

"So, Fanlou was actually very powerful from the very beginning?"

Her tone still carried a hint of surprise.

"That's natural."

Su Mo patted Fanlou's head and nodded.

"Although she has been neglecting her studies for many years, her talent in mastering the essence of the divine is no less than that of Artes, whom you have seen before."

As the oldest deity in the No Game No Life world, Fanlou's actual combat strength is probably only at the level of the Forest God Kainas.

However, this does not mean that she is really weak.

The reason why the Forest God Kainas and the Forging God Okan were able to become high-ranking deities is because their talents were only this strong at their peak. The reason why Fanlou is still a high-ranking deity is because she was still this strong after she woke up from her slumber for countless years after committing suicide.

Fanlou created the Machine Gundams simply to answer his own questions; combat has always been a secondary function of the Machine Gundams.

Yet, it is precisely this race, which is not born for battle, that is the only two races in the original work that were able to achieve the miracle of killing a god during the great war. In fact, their challenge was a bug of the level of Altshu.

With the innate talent of the Machine Race to constantly learn and evolve, if they really wanted to increase their strength, they could probably have evolved to an extremely powerful level long ago.

As the Goddess of Suspicion, Fanlou has no desire to become stronger, which is why she has not displayed extraordinary strength.

Su Mo was certain that if she were truly dedicated to studying imaginary energy, her achievements would surpass those of the original God of War, Artes.

"As for why the Venerable Master Boshi invited her, besides her talent, it might also be because of her essence?"

Su Mo analyzed it this way.

"The essence?"

March 7th tilted its head, not quite understanding.

"The essence is the core concept of the gods, similar to destiny in relation to the stars."

Su Mo patiently explained.

"The essence of Fanlou lies in the concept that follows suspicion and hope; you can understand it as a contradictory spiral of belief and doubt. So, although she is very intelligent, she rarely gets answers and only keeps asking questions."

A side effect of being too intelligent is that it makes one prone to doubting everything, even one's own existence.

Being half a step ahead is genius, being a full step ahead is madness, which is why Fanlou was able to do something that embodied his very essence.

The reason this child is no longer insane is twofold: firstly, her suicide attempt confirmed her own existence, and secondly, Su Mo, the main god, acted as a responder.

This completely calmed her down.

"Aba aba aba, I don't understand."

On March 7th, swirling patterns appeared around my eyes, and I felt a little dizzy.

The people around them listened very attentively.

After thinking for a while, Dan Heng showed a slightly enlightened expression.

"According to the records in the think tank, Master Boshi does not give answers, but only questions, which seems to be somewhat similar to Miss Fanlou's situation."

"You can think so."

Su Mo nodded.

"Most of the time, people ask questions in the wrong way, and wrong questions naturally cannot get the right answers. But when people have the ability to ask the right questions, the answer becomes self-evident."

In the scientific field, the ability to ask the right questions is itself a skill, even more important than verifying them.

Although Fanlou did not directly demonstrate any talent, in terms of the essence of thinking, she may be at the same level as Boshizun.

Based on the past selection process of the Venerable Master Bo Shi, talent has never been the sole criterion for judging genius. There have always been many who possessed talent comparable to genius but were not selected.

After all, with the power of the All-Knowing One, the inventions of most geniuses are nothing more than information that He has stored in His database for countless years. He has already traversed everything, but He has simply not disseminated it.

Upon hearing Su Mo's explanation, everyone wore expressions of bewilderment and awe.

Estelle, however, was already used to these brain-taxing conclusions when delving into them, so she simply put them aside and spoke.

"Lord Su Mo, may I ask you to stay at the space station for a while?"

"You and the train crew saved our space station in a time of crisis and greatly reduced the damage to our space station. It is only right and proper that we treat you well."

"In addition, since both you and Miss Fanlou have received invitations from Master Boshi, you might be able to obtain some information about the matter of meeting Master Boshi from Ms. Heita. As a fellow member of the Genius Club, Ms. Heita should have a lot of information, which you might find interesting."

Estelle's attitude was very warm and sincere.

Both publicly and privately, keeping Su Mo is a good thing.

Not only is it good to be on good terms with Su Mofan and Lou, but it is also not a bad thing for Black Tower. Black Tower's simulated universe project already has four geniuses involved. If two more are added, it will surely achieve even more impressive results.

Besides, after much thought, Estella realized that only the Black Tower, the owner of the space station, could offer an equal return for Su Mo's life-saving grace. Even if it was just to express her gratitude, there was no reason for her to let him go.

Hearing Estelle's words, Su Mo shook his head slightly.

"There's something I didn't have time to say before, but it's not too late to correct it now."

That is—I will not be a member of the genius club.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and the researchers were so shocked that their jaws dropped, unable to believe their ears.

Why would someone say they won't become a member of the Genius Club when they've already received an invitation?

In this scene that defies common sense, it was March 7 who was the first to react.

"Lord Su Mo, do you mean you refuse to become a member of the Genius Club?"

She said things that no one else would dare to think of with ease.

For most people, receiving an invitation from the Venerable Master would be an incredible and unimaginable joy, and if it were to actually happen, no celebration would be too much.

Power, status, recognition... the seat of genius represents all of these.

Such a good thing, how could anyone refuse?! How could anyone possibly refuse?!

They couldn't believe it, and they couldn't understand it.

Everyone stared intently at Su Mo, awaiting his answer.
