Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

It was clearly just an ordinary insect not long ago...So, for what reason did a creature like the "Star God" come into being?

If it was just the willpower to break through the limits like that, Kevin had reason to believe that in the countless worlds, countless planets, and countless civilizations, there were many strong people who could break through their own limits time and time again, but he had never heard of a similar miracle happening among them.

If the history shown by the simulated universe is the most real side, then Kevin will have to think seriously about whether there is really a driving force behind all these things...

Kevin did nothing at this moment. He just stood silently on the wreckage of a planet, looking up at the real yet virtual starry sky around him, completely unaware of where his thoughts should drift.

In such a situation, Kevin should have felt a little sad, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a little...happy.

No, that's not right...this emotion is abnormal?!

Kevin looked around the first moment he noticed something strange, and in a trance he saw this scene - the debris scattered in the starry sky seemed to have suddenly turned into many masks of different sizes. They were crying or laughing, as if they were performing all kinds of life in this world.

The only thing these masks had in common was that they all looked at Kevin who was in the center.

Please do not doubt it, this is probably His most magnificent appearance in history - He has always been a rather low-key "Star God", day by day, month by month, and has always been so.

The largest mask slowly floated towards Kevin's head under the influence of some unknown force. It was a red mask with a smile on its face, like a clown.

In fact, except for certain specific scenes, people's first reaction when seeing this kind of face is probably to feel uneasy and fearful. But this mask seemed to have some kind of magic power, and it made Kevin's mouth curl up uncontrollably.

No, it's not quite right... Kevin's senses are telling him that the clown mask in the middle is not the main body. There is a larger figure hidden in the darkness of the universe. It seems to be holding these masks that express countless emotions, and then puts the one that represents joy on its face.

Kevin probably knew who the visitor was.

"Look at this...Oh my god! This is really crazy!"

The voice reached Kevin's ears in an unimaginable way. Just like the image of the mask, it seemed to have the infectious power of a madman: "Why do you treat Him like this? He is just a child now. Oh, my poor Taizyuros..."

He seemed to place his palm on his chest, but unfortunately, Kevin didn't really hear even a trace of sadness in his tone. He seemed to be very happy.

"But then again, this grand fireworks scene is really nice. I think I should really learn your performance skills... You know, I'm talking about the me outside. The me in this universe is a completely harmless guy. You see, I haven't even done anything bad."

He spread out his hands, as if trying to express his harmlessness to Kevin. These words even made Kevin feel a voice inexplicably emerge from the depths of his heart - yes, He is just a poor program trapped in a machine, what bad intentions could He have?

Fortunately, Kevin, who has always been calm, can always realize the problem the next second when strange thoughts arise in his mind, so he is not afraid that his thoughts will really be influenced by the other party.

Kevin remembered very clearly that this Star God who represented "joy" had a very vivid description in the "Company"'s intelligence - if one had to draw a scale between "divinity" and "mortality" in the way the Star God operated, then He must be a Star God who was quite close to the "mortal" side.

He stirs up the sorrows, joys, and hates of intelligent beings and causes destinies to change - and according to his followers, he himself enjoys this, even appearing in human form to add fuel to the flames.

But don’t ever think that He is a “good God” who is willing to help others. It is because He has always only followed His own pleasures, so as long as the process and the ending are dramatic enough, He would not mind bringing some humorous twists to the original beautiful story.

Of course, this kind of humor is not meant for the person involved most of the time...

Chapter 244 Aha: An act of kindness!

Just as the fate represented by "breeding" is a madly multiplying insect, the fate represented by "joy"... is naturally more of a self-explanatory thing.

After witnessing the power of "breeding", Kevin could not make any accurate description or guess about "joy" for a while. The description in the intelligence was even more vague, like a fable - people could predict why He would laugh. Joy is the privilege of wise creatures. Aha encouraged believers to enjoy the joy of life and seek happiness from the knife-edge turns of fate.

If we use this argument, it seems that most things can be attributed to the fate of "joy". After all, when people do most things, the most fundamental purpose is to be able to make themselves satisfied and happy.

And after witnessing the moment of the birth of "breeding", Kevin found it difficult to imagine under what circumstances the so-called "joy" would be born.

——When the Lord of Joy climbs the high branches of the tree of existence, he sees the cold and abominable void, the mechanical movement of the stars, and the meaning of all things giving way to nothingness.He continued to look until he saw a baby falling to the ground crying as if he had been wronged, and he couldn't help laughing.This clear laughter tore through the cold and dead universe, echoing throughout the world to this day.

This is said to be the most widely circulated saying in the universe, but it comes from an organization that pursues "pleasure". Due to the special nature of those guys, no one can guarantee its authenticity, and no one can determine how much of it is true and how much is false.

But...is the so-called Tree of Existence a depiction of the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" itself?

In order to resist the inexplicable emotions and thoughts that emerged in his heart, Kevin had to gradually move his thoughts away - in this way, if there were any thoughts that were too different from the previous ones, he would be able to easily notice them at the first time.

But obviously, this half-hearted behavior soon caused His dissatisfaction——

"Oh no no no, sir, you should understand, right? It's very rude to keep thinking about other things while talking to someone. I will be sad if I am ignored like this."

His words were so infectious that Kevin even felt like crying... Well, He obviously used that weird technique again.

"But it seems to me that you don't see me as an equal communication partner."

Kevin had no idea where this influence came from or how to resist it.

This made Kevin realize clearly that even in this simulated universe, the "Star God" who could truly master his own power was still beyond his reach. It was just like how no matter how magnificent the scenes in movies and TV shows were, they could never affect the observers outside.

The status and perspective of the two are not on the same plane at all.

"This really makes me sad... I have always treated all intelligent beings in the universe equally, I promise you. If I could, I would even want to hug you! Unfortunately, I am an equation in a computer. Oh, this seems pretty cool." He scratched his head, the words before and after were completely unrelated.

I wonder if his ability to sense that he is in a virtual universe is due to the design of the Black Tower or if it is really just due to his own ability... If it is the latter, then that would be totally not good.

"How about this? I'll give you sixty seconds to ask me any questions you want. I promise I won't lie to you. You must have something you really want to know, right?"

He patted his head. For some reason, he suddenly thought of this and added, "Oh, by the way, don't ask any excessive questions... You know, I am just a series of equations now."

He tried to spread out his hands, whose shapes could not be seen clearly in the void, as if expressing his helplessness.

After He finished speaking, He began to turn all of His masks towards Kevin, as if He was expecting a question that this mortal who was more intelligent than most creatures could ask Him.

But Kevin closed his eyes and hugged his chest in such a scene. Anyone would think that he must be trying hard to think of some meaningful questions in order to get the answer from this "honest" star god.

But in this empty vacuum, even time seemed to be distorted. We only knew that it was flowing through everything, but there was nothing to prove its passing.

I don’t know how long it took, but it must have been fifty-eight seconds later. Kevin suddenly raised his head and asked Him, “Are you really waiting for me to ask you a question?”

Just sixty seconds is just the right amount of time to spend on this sentence.

"..."

He was silent for a moment, and then a penetrating laugh soon came from him - was He really fooled? Maybe that was the truth, but who doesn't like this? At least He is very happy now.

"Ha, I know you must think that we have nothing to talk about. Although I really don't like those empty heroism and low-level comedies, you have to believe in yourself. You are indeed a very interesting person."

"Even though sixty seconds have passed, I still decided to give you a question. Come on, ask it."

Seeing that the other party was going to let him go if he didn't ask questions, Kevin finally sighed and said, "Why are you behaving so chaotically?"

"Oh... this is certainly a problem! In a universe that is inherently unreasonable, it is very tiring to be reasonable all the time!" His answer was so consistent with his own definition.

"......so?"

"So I made up a lie to make everything seem reasonable, so that everyone can be happy. That makes this miserable universe a paradise, right?"

"Do I have to lie?" Kevin wasn't sure whether he really wanted to ask such a question or just wanted to get away with it in such a situation. Anyway, he asked it.

"Because a lie is a form of truth, just the most deceptive kind. Ha, that's interesting."

With a laugh that could even echo in the vacuum of space, He instantly disappeared without a trace, leaving Kevin with only a series of not-so-funny subtitles:

[You have seen Aha, the Lord of Joy, and He has asked you to ask Him a question, a kind act!]

【After the end, Ah Ha suddenly fell down. Looking closer, it turned out to be just a stand. The real Ah Ha had already run away before the questioning began. Let's turn the perspective to the questioner. Oh my god, the questioner is also a stand, but there is a recorder stuck on the back that will automatically play after 58 seconds! All of this was planned by Ah Ha! Thinking that you can take the recorder home and continue to use it makes you full of determination.】

Chapter 245: Destiny can be changed, but history cannot be reversed

Is Joy the most human Star God? On the surface, it seems to be true.

But Kevin felt that if a very standard human being really obtained power like the "Star God", then He would most likely not be so friendly.

If we look at it from this perspective, that "Joy" can actually be considered a guy with a strong sense of "divinity". Despite his seemingly chaotic appearance, he has such extreme restraint on his behavior. This is the most powerful thing.

At the same time, this means that "He" in the simulated universe is indeed aware that he is just a string of data codes, and he is still happy about it...Should Kevin say that these guys have easily achieved the experimental results that countless people cannot achieve, or should he say that such terrible uncertainty is too scary?

He could even take his thoughts to an even more extreme level - who could be sure that the real "Joy" didn't know the situation here, or that the "Joy" inside was fully aware that he was being observed by the real Him?

Well, this situation is still a little hard to understand. Maybe... trying to guess the Star God with mortal's thoughts is a wrong choice?

After seeing the string of characters appear in front of him, Kevin’s thoughts began to flow again and he clearly realized that “He” was really gone.

But how could those "joyful" believers have imagined that their god would be such a stubborn guy?

But just in the next second after Kevin finished reading the string of characters, the familiar fan grid suddenly blocked his sight, and then he felt a sense of detachment. In such a moment, he left the simulated universe and stood in the real space station.

Honestly, it didn’t even feel that different.

"......"

It would have been better if there wasn't a puppet constantly pulling at his trouser legs.

"How strange! I clearly remember that I didn't wear these pants when I transformed just now. How come they were suddenly replaced again? What kind of weird ability is this? Is it so comprehensive? Well, I'll just write it down first."

The little man in the black tower grabbed Kevin's trouser leg and began a detailed analysis. This scientific research spirit of not missing any details is really worth learning from for everyone.

Of course, it would be even better if the person being studied was not Kevin himself.

After capturing all these strange details, Heita raised his head again and asked Kevin: "By the way, do you feel any discomfort in your body now?"

"I'm really sorry. Under those circumstances, we dared not let you have too much contact with 'Joy', so we immediately chose to shut down the simulated universe and eject you... Even in the virtual world, those simulated star gods are not good people. A string of code actually awakened its own consciousness and in turn affected reality. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

"Hmm... I have to find a way to modify his data."

I don’t know if this is Kevin’s illusion. He always feels that after he came out, Black Tower’s tone suddenly became...softer?

Honestly, Kevin would rather believe that this was the respect given by the other party after seeing his strength, and he really didn't want to believe that this was for some weird reason.

But...they chose to shut down the simulated universe at the first opportunity?

"If I remember correctly, after that 'Joy' came out, I still stayed in the simulated universe for sixty seconds...more than that."

If His ability has even reached the point where He can affect the internal and external time perception, doesn't that mean that He was actually able to threaten Kevin's own safety at any time?

"What??!"

As expected, after hearing this message, Heita's voice rose several decibels: "Damn it, when did this guy secretly evolve to this level? If it weren't for this incident, it might have taken us a long time to discover it. This is really outrageous just thinking about it."

Should she start to worry that the "Joy" in the simulated universe will run out and slap her twice, and then lock her into the simulated universe?

"This is something that's really crazy just by hearing it. I'm not only going to change it, I might even have to rewrite the code for simulating the universe... although I almost had to do that anyway."

As he was talking, Heita suddenly turned the conversation to Kevin and said, "So why did you do such a thing? Trying to attack a star god and cut off his fate? This is not a fun thing."

"Even in this simulated universe, it can still be considered part of the real universe. If the current 'breeding' is still at its peak, it is even possible that the negative effects will be directly fed back to your body through the things in the simulated universe."

"Of course, the most important point is that Taizi Yuros... Well, He might really be more timid than I thought. After being beaten up by you, He in the simulated universe chose to find an uninhabited planet and slowly play his own child-bearing game. He even postponed the time until now and has not come out again... Maybe He still feels insecure."

"So, the history in the simulated universe was really changed by you. The Universal Insect Plague no longer exists, and I had to spend several all-nighters rewriting the code... Are you satisfied now?"

It can be seen that Heita is really angry about this matter at least. After all, no programmer would be willing to rewrite his own code.

But this can at least explain in a certain way that the cosmic insect plague that threatened most of the universe was not really unchangeable, and it was by no means a fate that had to be faced.

It’s a pity that although the seemingly unsolvable fate can be changed, the history that happened thousands of years ago will never be possible again.

"..."

Kevin was silent for a moment in response to Heita's words, and then he spoke directly: "If you can achieve your expectations by just following the established route... then I don't have to be the one to come here to conduct the test."

Chapter 246 Black Tower: I beg you

As soon as these words came out, Heita was stunned - she couldn't imagine how this guy could say such words without changing his expression?

If she wasn't the victim herself, Heita would probably think that this sentence was actually quite cool in this situation.

"No, no, no, that's certainly not what I meant. Is it possible for us to directly control the virtual star gods in the virtual universe with simple and rigid data instructions? Otherwise, they will all realize that they are in a virtual universe like "Happy" did."

After a moment of surprise, Heita quickly waved his hands and explained, "That is why we need a qualified subject to intervene in a reasonable capacity, so that we can draw out the history and secrets hidden among the Star Gods."

"But if the deduction process is affected by too many independent variables, resulting in a deviation in the history of a certain period of time, it is very likely to affect the deduction tendency of the entire simulated universe, causing it to deviate further and further from the correct history... We have spent so much energy, not just for such a large-scale universe simulator."

She really tried very hard to explain her behavior. If it was someone else or at a different time, whoever dared to talk to Heita like that, she would definitely kick that person out of the space station.

Has anyone ever said that the reason why Black Tower has gained the reputation she has now is simply because she is a genius and is good at research?

Fortunately, after hearing this, Kevin really didn't say anything more. He just whispered to Black Tower: "I'm sorry...but this doesn't mean that I will allow certain things."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, if one day he really remains indifferent when faced with such a thing, he will no longer be himself.

"I understand. Of course I understand. Just like us scientists, we all have our own moral bottom line."

After hearing Kevin finally give in, Ms. Black Tower was overjoyed. However, she hid her true self behind the puppet and did not show her emotions. Instead, she spoke in a very subtle way, "Don't worry. I will never let you get close to such history again."
