Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

From the next day onward, Black Tower completely immersed himself in the endless ocean of knowledge, devoting all his energy to it, leaving no room for sorrow.

Mu stayed with her the whole time.

They stopped going to school and ventured into uncharted territories of knowledge, burying themselves in diligent study day and night.

Only when you are stuck in a bottleneck that you can't break through for the time being will you set aside some leisure time to relax your mind and body.

Gradually, both Mu and Heita made unprecedented and astonishing progress in their respective professional fields.

Many incurable diseases that humanity was helpless to cure, and could only watch helplessly as people lost their lives, are no longer an incurable nightmare thanks to Mu's research.

He also successfully developed a special vaccine with amazing effects.

Once vaccinated, one's resistance will be greatly enhanced if one is forced to be in extreme environments such as extreme cold or extreme heat due to an accident.

While it's impossible to be exposed to the elements for extended periods without protective clothing, at least two hours of buffer time can be gained.

The Azure Star is shrouded in a misty haze, and its natural environment is deteriorating. Such a vaccine is a lifeline for countless people.

The Black Tower's research has yielded equally astonishing results.

She conquered some of the spatial equations that generations of scientists had been unable to perfect for over a century.

What shocked the entire academic community even more was that she initially established the basic framework of the chronology equation.

This field of knowledge, while unable to allow humanity to control time, is an indispensable key to saving the Blue Planet.

The initial interstellar jump attempt by Azure Star failed precisely because of a lack of knowledge about spacetime and an incorrect verification method.

Space and time have always been deeply intertwined, and to correct these errors, breakthroughs in the science of time are necessary.

A gifted girl who lost her family and never even graduated from elementary school was the first to knock on this door of academia.

Given enough time, she will surely be able to achieve a level of success that others can only dream of.

The countdown to the world's destruction has never stopped, and the Little Black Tower has not kept its achievements hidden, but has made them public without reservation.

The initial intention was good, but the deep-seated flaws in human nature can never be suppressed by mere sincerity.

That kind of thing is commonly known as taking advantage of one's age.

It may not seem like much for a young girl to request to join a coalition government and apply for a number of highly sensitive permissions.

But if this girl is a descendant of the original implementers of the leapfrog plan, then it's a different story.

A coalition government brings together top scholars from around the world; with a large enough forest, you'll find all sorts of birds.

These people cannot prevent the Black Tower from becoming a member of the United Government's scientists, but they can always sabotage it in various trivial matters to maintain what they call their authority.

Little did they know that without Black Tower's open-source release of relevant knowledge, who would they be?

Black Tower has no interest in fighting; having taken over her parents' responsibilities, she only wants to save the planet.

Many times, she chose to silently endure the injustice, ignoring the hostile gazes cast upon her by those who resented her.

She now understands that many people blame all the mistakes of her great-grandfather's failure on his entire family's descendants.

Her grandfather, father, and mother all lived like this.

Mu didn't know anything about it when she was unaware, but after finding out, she frowned and pondered for a long time, thinking about how to help her.

His parents paved the way for him and established his reputation early on. In terms of authority, even senior figures dared not cause him any trouble.

The Black Tower is different.

Her parents left her forever before they could pave the most important path in her life.

late at night.

The girl deftly lifted the covers, got into bed, and snuggled into the boy's arms.

Having lost everything, she now only has Mu by her side.

She had grown accustomed to relying on this.

A pair of arms wrapped around her waist with practiced ease, and a soft voice came from above her head.

"Little Tower".

"Um?"

"I know everything that happened to you in the coalition government."

"It's okay, I don't care."

"But I care."

Mu turned the girl who was facing away from him around and looked directly into her purple eyes.

"I told you before, there's no need to compromise with people who aren't worth it."

"Treating outsiders with gentleness, kindness, respect, and humility is all nonsense. As long as we uphold our conscience, are true to ourselves, and are true to the people we care about, that's enough."

"Essentially, those people are no different from the people who bully you at school."

"In our current environment, simply giving in won't make our lives better."

"Having pride alone is not enough; you also need arrogance. As long as you are more domineering than them, the right to speak will come naturally, because—we are more talented than them, so why should we back down?"

"Carrying an unbearable burden on one's life, without a clear self-awareness and a recognition of one's own value, it is easy to crawl forward in the world of others, living in a daze."

"...Brother Mu..." The girl pursed her lips, feeling touched.

Mu: "The academic environment in the coalition government is not like that of a school; you owe no one anything."

"You proposed the first equation for timekeeping, and you open-sourced and shared the core knowledge, but who paved the way for those who followed?"

"No, they are clearly standing on your shoulders to move forward, so where do they get the nerve to flaunt their seniority and act arrogantly?"

"Little Tower, you are the youngest time science genius in the history of Azure Star. You have every right to be arrogant towards those who are far inferior to you."

"If people inferior to you can act this way and make things difficult for others, why can't you?"

"You don't need to worry about anyone's feelings; they're the ones who need to worry about yours. We should leave gentleness, kindness, respect, humility, and deference to those who deserve it."

"At least for now, no one in the entire Joint Government's Spacetime Academic Department is worthy of your humility, let alone deserves it."

"Having...Brother Mu is enough," the girl retorted softly.

…and the only one worthy of her attention, she silently added in her heart.

"Silly girl, I'm from the medical department..." Mu said helplessly.

"Little Tower knows what to do."

"Okay, go to sleep, goodnight."

"Good night."

The next day, a chilling rumor spread through the Department of Spacetime Studies.

No fewer than ten senior scientists were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks bulged.

Some people were scolded to tears on the spot, some were so angry that they almost had a heart attack, and some even fainted from the shock and anger.

The culprit behind all of this was none other than the youngest genius scientist, Heta.

Although it's just a rumor, no one has come forward to confirm it, and other departments can't verify its authenticity, it's at least something to talk about over dinner.

But the changes on the surface of the Black Tower are undeniable, and its style of doing things has become even more assertive.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people dared to openly show their hostility towards her.

As for the gossip behind her back, as long as she doesn't hear it, she doesn't care what others say.

Occasionally, there would be those who cried and cursed at him to his face, speaking rudely and abusively. In such cases, Mu would stand up for Black Tower and defend him.

On Azure Star, you might be able to be rude to scientists, but if you dare to be rude to the most promising medical scientists, things might not go smoothly when you need their help in the future.

After all, no one in this world can guarantee that they will never get injured or sick in an accident.
