If any civilization could truly stand out from the constant erosion of collapse, it would mean that it was qualified to join them - but to be honest, Kevin didn't care about those things at all.

Perhaps they will bring about countless destruction with their collapse, and in the end they will treat the civilization that has finally survived as a superior and savior. The mere thought of that makes Kevin feel disgusted.

Honestly speaking, Kevin now has no way of understanding what kind of power can directly have such an impact on the Imaginary Number Tree itself. In the entire process of civilization, only Otto has done it.

After witnessing the true power of the Star God and the fall of "Breeding" Taizyuros, Kevin suddenly felt that there was no need for him to pursue external power for the time being. The best choice was to understand and master the "Power of the End" as soon as possible.

After all, it has been in Kevin's body since he came to this universe. Rather than letting it go, it is better to use it as soon as possible.

Even if Kevin could maintain it in his body to a certain extent, the power of "The End" would eventually adapt to him completely, but the speed was still too slow.

In the previous world, Kevin knew that it would take at least thousands of years before the Herrscher of the End came, so he could use this long time to continue to pursue the meaning of civilization and ways to fight against collapse.

But in this universe, Kevin doesn't know when and where the disaster will come. There are more factors than just collapse that may threaten his survival and the survival of many civilizations. It's like... the world in the past was really like a training ground for novices.

The collapse was nothing more than the irresistible pressure that gradually came with the development of civilization, but the universal insect plague actually destroyed countless civilizations within hundreds of years.

Although it sounds absurd, this is indeed the reality - disasters in reality will never try to explain things to you, that is what movies and TV shows should do.

It must be said that just absorbing the images and memories of that scene in the simulated universe made Kevin feel a little overwhelmed. Of course, this was also entirely related to his senses being a hundred times stronger than those of ordinary people.

Since coming to this universe, this was the first time Kevin clearly felt the urge to rest - so he didn't think much about it, followed the path pointed out by Topa and returned to the room arranged by Estelle for them, and sat down gently on the recliner at the edge of the room.

But just after Kevin closed his eyes, he saw little Ellie in another room suddenly stand up and gently shake Padre beside her.

"Sister Paduo, I can't sleep. Can you sleep?"

"I can't sleep either."

"Then... let's go!"

———— ————

In the "End of the World" tavern at an unknown time, Qianjie, dressed in cool clothes and wearing a mask, sat quietly in a corner at the edge of the street, looking at the scene, just like he did every day.

Alcohol seemed to be a good thing to him. In such a large tavern, there was always a kind of wine that could make any powerful person drunk. At least at that time, he didn't have to think too much.

But after Qianjie blew up half of the tavern while drunk one time, no one dared to compete with him in drinking anymore.

After all, if you win you'll get beaten, and if you lose you may not survive. Who would dare to do something like that?

"Hey! Brother Jie, do you want a drink? It's strong!"

Just at this moment, a guy holding a wine glass staggered in front of Qianjie - it was obvious that this guy was drunk and he didn't know what he was talking about at all.

Fortunately, Qianjie just glanced at this guy, then closed his eyes again and said something very polite in a calm tone -

"Please go away."

Chapter 270 Black Tower: Where are you putting your hands?

For little Padu, whose hands and feet are often not very clean, what could make her feel extremely uncomfortable?

Of course, it's like looking at a pile of treasures in front of you, but they are not yours! Who can understand such pain? ? !

But even so, little Padu could barely endure that kind of pain - after all, no matter what, she was a good cat with a moral bottom line. How could she see a good thing and want to put it in her pocket? Is she that kind of person?

But compared to the above, there was another thing that was even more unbearable for little Padu. That was, there were so many treasures placed there, and although they did not belong to her, the owner of the treasures was even more excessive. She didn't even care about these things!

How could this be allowed?! These treasures have souls, right? If they were left there unattended, they would cry!

At the beginning, little Padu was able to suppress her anxiety. After all, if the person who collected these treasures was a bad guy, she could steal them without any psychological pressure. Although she didn't like the lady of the black tower, Miss Estelle was still very good to them.

Moreover, if she accidentally caused any big trouble, not only would it cause trouble for her boss, but she might even lose her job... The mere thought of that kind of thing made her feel terrified!

It can only be said that a big part of the reason why little Paduo has been so well-behaved during the time she has been with her boss is actually due to the terrifying potential threat on her butt.

I guess in this huge universe, only Little Ai Li can persist in being a naughty child under such a terrifying threat? No matter from which aspect, this is really amazing... Wait, this guy is not doing this on purpose? !

Unconsciously, little Padu suddenly felt that she seemed to have discovered something that might very well lead to her being silenced.

But back to the point, the biggest reason why Padu had the courage to sneak out and cause trouble this time was of course because of little Ellie's constant verbal instigation -

She said: "Look at that guy named Heita, he looks bad as hell. You should also know that Kevin is not very good at talking, so he is definitely easily bullied in a partnership. So what we did is not called stealing, but helping Kevin get back the losses he suffered in the partnership... This is not only very moral, but also in accordance with Zhouli!"

Obviously, although what Little Ellie said was a little far-fetched, it seemed to be reasonable. Not to mention, at this time, Little Padu simply lacked a reason to convince herself.

So, Paddo agreed to little Ellie's request, and so... the two of them were standing in the strange item storage room of the space station at this moment.

The combination lock at the door was a piece of cake for the clever little Padu. She even hacked into a separate system and stopped all the surveillance equipment in the storage room to ensure that they would not be easily exposed.

Moreover, little Padu is much smarter than others think. Once those strange objects placed in the exhibition stand are lost, even if the people in the space station do not value them, they will definitely find them soon. But she has long noticed that there are more strange objects that have not been classified and are placed in boxes in the innermost layer of the storage room.

Otherwise, why would she be so angry about the way the Black Tower and the space station were wasting resources?

If she secretly took away one or two of the miscellaneous strange objects in the innermost part, I'm afraid the entire space station wouldn't find them for more than a few months, or even forever.

After all, that lady in the Black Tower had never returned to the space station to even take a second look at the strange objects that she had already studied. Even the staff in the space station rarely showed interest in these ineffective objects and applied to study them.

It would be just perfect to let her little Pardo secretly take it away and make the best use of it!

After about a few minutes, little Padu successfully found three things that interested her very much from among the strange objects that were almost treated as miscellaneous items: a pen, a mask, and a beautiful cat's eye.

These rare objects, which Padu considered to be treasures, were almost covered with dust. No one knew how long they had been left here by the space station staff.

But it doesn't matter! From now on, in the hands of her little Padu, these treasures will sooner or later shine!

Well...at least it will be able to be sold for a good price!

"Look, Ellie! I...?"

But just as Paddo carefully lifted them up, intending to share the joy of success with her companions who had colluded with her, she found that the things little Ellie was eyeing were a little more outrageous than she had imagined.

It was a Black Tower doll placed in the innermost corner. No one knew if something had gone wrong with her body, or if Ms. Black Tower had simply thrown her here and forgotten about her. In any case, she just stood there with a dull look in her eyes.

As for little Ai Li, she put her arms around the thighs of the black tower doll without any hesitation, and then she slowly picked it up after using all her strength.

Well, now that things have come to this, there is no need to say more about what little Ai Li wanted to steal back home.

Of course, Paduo knew that all the black tower dolls in the space station looked the same without exception - their appearance was perfect and beautiful. If it weren't for the flaws deliberately left at the joints, it might not be possible to associate it with a doll.

So, what on earth was Little Ai Li trying to do by picking up this thing? ? !

"Sister Paduo, come and help! This... this thing seems to be much heavier than I thought!"

She is a second-class magic fairy who practiced physical magic in the fairy kingdom, but now she can't even hold an ordinary doll. Could this be made of some special alloy?

Little Ai Li, with a frown on her face, pinched it silently, but the doubts in her heart became even stronger.

Strange, this doesn’t look like it?

Finally, realizing that something was wrong, little Ai Li raised her head, and happened to meet the eyes of the black tower doll that had just lowered its head.

"Eh?"

For a moment, little Ai Li actually felt that she seemed to be even more excited. Why?

Chapter 271: I wonder how much you know about "Tongxie"?

“Ouch…Ouch!!?”

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I was wrong...I was wrong! I will never dare to steal anything again! Wuuuu...I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"I swear I will be a good person in the future... Ouch! I will be a good person... Ouch!? Wuuwuwu..."

There is no doubt that after Ms. Black Tower noticed the abnormality and logged into the doll that she had long forgotten in the storage room, and personally felt the indecent warning from Little Ai Li, the capture of the two thieves was a foregone conclusion.

Even after Little Ai Li successfully logged into the Black Tower and created her own doll, she still did not stop her bad behavior and even planned to take the mecha doll home and knock it out.

She even planned to knock out a robot doll. Who knows what this girl was thinking? !

And the most terrifying thing is that, based on the first-person evidence recorded by the puppet in the Black Tower, Kevin even discovered that this guy's technique was so skillful... God knows how many times she has practiced it without anyone knowing, or maybe she has secretly carried it out more than once?

Obviously, with such irrefutable evidence, Kevin would never let such a criminal go - if he didn't teach this guy a lesson he would never forget, who knew if she would create even more difficult troubles in the future?

The natural result is that such an inhumane punishment has been carried out for about half a system, but little Ai Li still has the energy to cry there... In many senses, this kid can no longer be regarded as an ordinary naughty child.

Little Padu was extremely grateful that Little Ai Li was there to take the blame for her, but she was also extremely afraid that her boss would suddenly come back to take revenge on her. In such a revengeful mood, the poor cat could hardly sleep peacefully in her bedroom.

Fortunately, just as she was looking at the horrific scene in the room and her body was shaking with the snapping sounds, Heita's hand suddenly patted her shoulder.

"Don't be so scared. I think you are much better than that guy inside. If possible, I can also plead for you. It doesn't matter if I give you those rare items... They are of no use to me anyway."

"Eh? But...why?" Although Padu was extremely frightened and in desperate need of help, she had been living alone since she could remember and she knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Do you need any other reason? Of course it's interesting." Heita shrugged his shoulders and said as a matter of course: "When I was young, I was just like you. I couldn't stand any waste of precious and rare objects worth studying. But now, most of the time I just do things based on my interests."

Just like the main reason she did things before was to satisfy herself, she still does things now to satisfy herself - from this point of view, she has not changed from the beginning to the end, only the goal has changed.

"Is it really that simple?" Paddy, who had been frugal since childhood, still couldn't understand such an idea. But sooner or later, she should understand that these things were nothing to others, so it was normal for them to deal with them in any way they wanted.

Would you feel bad for throwing leftover bread crumbs to the fish in the lake? That's the truth.

"Of course, if you're not happy with it, I can just not give it to you. Anyway..."

"We want it!!!" Before Heita could finish his words, Paduo immediately let out a heartfelt shout.

The rest of the story is very simple - with the help of Heita, Paddo managed to escape, but little Ellie was not so lucky. It is said that this stick education for the naughty child lasted for a whole system hour, and little Ellie still climbed back to bed by herself.

She should be thankful that Kevin was kind enough to break only her legs and not her hands.

Of course, little Ai Li should also be thankful that she doesn't have an extra leg, otherwise this leg would definitely be broken first.

Kevin, who had finally solved the problem of the simulated universe, naively thought that he could finally have some peace and quiet for a while, but little Ellie soon told him the truth that it was absolutely impossible to rest.

Kevin once heard of such a theory: the more capable a person is, the more likely he is to encounter corresponding troubles. On the contrary, most ordinary people can live a relatively stable life.

He had previously been dismissive of this conclusion which was obviously somewhat idealistic, but the facts proved to him that it was true.

So when Topa found him not long after, Kevin showed an expression of "as expected". It was even the first time that Topa saw such obvious emotion on his face.

"Mr. Kevin, you don't...already know what I'm going to do with you, do you?"

Facing Topa's question, Kevin shook his head silently: "I don't know what you are doing here, but I know you are going to come."

After all, everyone else's troubles had already been dealt with, and only Topa was left.

"Is this... okay?"

Kevin obviously didn't want to talk, so Topa was naturally tactful and didn't ask any more questions. She lowered her head slightly to organize her words before continuing, "All in all, this trip can be said to have ended successfully. I have just submitted your report, Mr. Kevin, but it may take some time to come up with a specific conclusion."

"But I think with your performance, Mr. Kevin, it will be no problem for the company to increase your salary a little bit. As for whether you can move up to a higher position... that depends on what the guys at the headquarters think."

If they really believed that Kevin's power must be related to "preservation", then this would not be a problem... To be honest, Topa even thought that this was very likely to happen.

This is because most people in the universe stubbornly believe that only by embarking on a destiny and gaining the favor of the star god can one obtain such a terrifying power.

After saying all this, Topa paused for a moment before continuing, "Since the previous agreement on behalf of the 'Company' has ended, the following are entirely my personal requests."

"I wonder how much Mr. Kevin knows about that 'Harmonious' Star God?"

Chapter 272 Xipe

To this day, Kevin still clearly remembers the description of the "harmonious" star god in the "company" -

A cluster of star gods from multiple harmonious celestial worlds. The thousand-faced Xipei sings the joy of harmony. In order to fight against the ruthless laws of the universe, intelligent life needs to erase weak desires and individual differences and integrate into the same harmony - using the strong to support the weak, and using death to protect life.

Since this is almost half of the public information within the "company", in order to prevent other organizations from feeling dissatisfied or offending those high-ranking star gods, there is not much information described in this intelligence, and it even has a sense of praise.

But even so, it still implicitly points out the essence of the "Harmonious" Star God: a cluster of Star Gods, a thousand faces in one.

On the surface, this "Harmonious" star god has a closer relationship with humans or various intelligent creatures than ordinary star gods - after all, the meaning of "Harmony" is to unite countless individuals, referring to the countless intelligent life forms throughout the universe.

Of course, if you simply think that this is a star god attached to intelligent creatures, you are totally wrong. After all, hasn't it been said before that the so-called relationship between star gods and destiny is ultimately a one-sided interpretation of intelligent creatures themselves?

Doesn't this information clearly show that they are the star gods from the Harmony Planet world?

In this world, it is not just humans who have to unite and check each other to form a law-based civilization. In the galaxy, the orbits of the planets attracting each other, isn't this also a kind of "harmony"?

Just as human music is the product of a combination of multiple sounds in a certain regular and coordinated manner, why can't the special operating rules formed by countless stars be called "harmonic music"?
