Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"So you killed all the 'ugly' ones?"

“Yes.” The knight’s voice was calm and frank.

"It started with ugly buildings, then ugly words and deeds, and then faces that didn't meet the standards, thoughts that weren't pure enough, and souls that weren't complete enough. Each expulsion made the city purer."

"Don't you feel that you're also narrowing the definition of 'beauty'?" Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"No, true beauty has not yet arrived, simply because..."

The knight's movements suddenly changed. With a metallic scraping sound, a long spear appeared in his hand, gleaming coldly, its tip pointing directly at Lin Yuan.

"There is still one last ugliness that needs to be eradicated," the knight said in a clear, resonant voice.

No way, are you blind? With my looks being only a tenth as good as yours, how could I possibly be ugly? You've gone astray.

"According to you, I am the final ugly one?"

"No," the knight denied him once again.

"After I banish you, I still have myself."

"..." Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then exclaimed sincerely, "Damn."

They've already encountered a madman. Is the Pure Beauty that Onfaros simulated legitimate? Or is Pure Beauty's fate inherently so sinister?

Indeed, a destiny that seals evil thoughts and trials within a mirror, and constrains and torments oneself daily, can only be described as inherently terrifying.

"click"

The armor creaked as the tall knight charged forward, brandishing his lance.

The next moment, with a crisp sound, his body flew backward at an even faster speed than when he came.

His armor shattered, his spear slipped from his grasp, and crashed heavily to the ground. He lay at the palace entrance, his gaze hazy as he looked up at the twilight dome, his fingers slightly raised, as if still struggling to look at the blurry female figure on the stained-glass window.

Lin Yuan didn't turn around. He simply leaped lightly, his body suddenly rising higher and breaking through the dome.

The massive impact caused every mirror in the hall to shatter simultaneously, along with the central stained glass depicting pure beauty, turning into fragments scattered all over the floor.

He stood in mid-air, and his body suddenly shone brightly.

Even if it is merely a mental data entity, even within the influence range of the Emperor's Scepter, it cannot prevent the arrival of his power.

In an instant, a blazing sun rose into the sky, illuminating the courtyard at dusk.

As the light shone brightly, his senses dissipated. The knight hadn't lied; the place was indeed deserted.

It seems that this pure American empire is still too urbanized.

However, a civilization without people is meaningless.

In an instant, countless carefully tended flowers, plants, and buildings began to burn and crumble.

The city is like a shattered mirror, crumbling outwards from its center. Lin Yuan is attempting to extract and refine the remaining "pure beauty" of this civilization.

This cycle calculated an end point guided by pure beauty, and in his view, whether it be pure beauty, destruction, abundance, intellect, or even preservation, the ultimate evolution of a single destiny path might all lead to the end.

so.....

In his final moments, the knight saw the blazing sun in the sky.

"Could this be... the arrival of pure beauty?"

He muttered to himself, then vanished into the flames.

Outer World

At this moment, Lygus's attention was focused on the new cycle of reincarnation, where the Golden Blood were debating in the Demigod Council of Ohmar. Meanwhile, the Imperial Scepter was autonomously recording everything in the Fourth Sector.

Location: Sector 4

The 177200th cycle was destroyed under the blazing sun, and the civilization evolved into the Middle Ages.

The electrical signal Imora8 established an empire of absolute beauty. After completing the expulsion of ugliness, the concept of beauty was infinitely reduced. When the last knight attempted to expel the final 'ugliness,' he brought about the destruction of civilization itself.

[Conclusion: The final calculation result of the Pure Beauty Factor is ——▇▇▇]

The system text suddenly froze for a moment.

[Conclusion: The final result of the Pure Beauty Factor calculation is—Destruction]

.............

Chapter 434 Time is about to accelerate.

"The end of this pure and beautiful empire..."

The scorching sun burned away, and the void sank. The brilliant and beautiful civilization vanished beneath the blazing sun along with the earth.

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, slowly opening his eyes, his gaze reflecting the last embers.

"It's not the end, nor is it destruction, but rather..."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, clenched his right fist, and said loudly:

"All belong to me!"

Finally, Lin Yuan discovered his most extraordinary trait.

The star gods tear each other apart and devour each other's destinies, requiring a broader philosophical concept to cover narrow or similar concepts.

Even if successful, the consequences of annexation can be unpredictable, potentially even plunging the Star God itself into trouble. Aha and Hipe are prime examples.

But Lin Yuan is different. The power of refining the calamity sun he possesses doesn't require such trouble. He doesn't need to devour or cover it, nor does he need to bear the lingering taste of those destinies.

Regardless of the concept or philosophical symbol, he can directly seize and refine it, making it his own.

However, while this does simplify the problem of mechanism into a problem of numbers, the power required to seize and absorb an entire destiny path is comparable to that required to contend with the entire universe.

However, being in this universe, he can also adapt to local conditions.

Perhaps now is the time to start trying to seize and annex some similar concepts, Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Preservation? Goodbye, I love you, Amber King, who is now your most important ally.

The destruction of Nanook... is something to consider, but it's extremely difficult. With a mastered star god and a rising destiny, the difficulty of annexing it is even greater than destroying the universe.

Is there such a temporarily unclaimed and weak destiny, and is it similar to the path he is walking?

Some brothers, some.

Lin Yuan's lips curled up. "You agree, don't you, glutton?"

If Ah can take away your "aftertaste", why can't I take away your "devouring" and "digestion"?

As for [greed], [craving], and [desire], we'll see if we can discuss it with Aha later and share the pie with him.

After all, isn't it quite enjoyable to treat one's gluttonous fate like a cake to be divided? And it also helps prevent that enjoyment from turning into madness.

Lin Yuan had a plan. After Onfaros ended, he would search the entire universe for the game of sealing Aha and try it out. After all, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

Anyway, the market development department and the strategic investment department have already started doing this.

He snapped out of his reverie and looked around. The ground beneath his feet had completely vanished, leaving only a vast, azure void. This cycle was nearing its end.

"So, will we continue with the next cycle, or what?"

Lin Yuan had roughly figured out the current situation. What he had just experienced was definitely not something that happened during the re-creation stage, but rather the early evolution of the thirty million cycles.

He sorted through his memories. The memories from before he transmigrated, which he had reclaimed from the world, became exceptionally clear.

He recalled what I had written in my book: Lycurgus's experiments were divided into several stages: inorganic, organic, human, re-creation, and eternal reincarnation, with countless cycles in between.

So... we should be in the human stage now?

"Fine, Lao Gu Shi, you don't dare to face me directly, so you hide behind the scenes and use your scepter and memory to trap me in the cycle of the past, thus confining me?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and revealed a cold smile.

"But do you think you can trap me like this? If the scepter can do it, why can't I? As long as... it's within my world."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he raised his finger to the sky.

A white light suddenly shone from him, and then spread outward at an unimaginable speed.

In just a few breaths, everything within sight—chaotic matter, memory matter, and the void—was stained white.

In the boundless white light, Lin Yuan declared loudly, "I say, time is about to accelerate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the world of white light suddenly changed.

Matter was quickly shaped, continents formed, life appeared, and the sun rose and set in a mere instant.

Below, life grows and withers in an instant. Humans appear and gradually evolve into civilization. Then, civilizations clash and perish in the flames of war.

But it soon rose again and began to circulate again.

The shifting sun swept past Lin Yuan's eyes, his expression calm. Soon, a cycle ended in the blink of an eye, leading to its final destruction.

At the very moment of its demise, Lin Yuan made his move, extracting the valuable destiny items from this cycle of reincarnation.

Then, he stood still in the void, watching the world flicker below like a slideshow.

Beyond mythology, beyond the vision of the ancients.

The Emperor's Scepter program, which had been running slowly and steadily, suddenly started loading frantically.

Location: Sector 4

[WARNING: A high-energy reaction from ▇▇▇ has been detected in sector 4. An unknown factor has interfered with the experiment; the system is mobilizing additional computing power to make adjustments.]

【warning】

The 177202nd cycle was destroyed in the ice. This process did not give rise to civilization; some algal organic matter formed a cluster of life similar to the Korchi people, and over-proliferation led to the destruction of the world.

【warning】

[The 177203rd cycle was destroyed in the process of self-devouring. The Orthoptera civilization built a nest capital, but after expanding to its limit, it fell into cannibalism, and the civilization collapsed from within.]

.........

[In the 177232nd cycle, the electrical signal iterated, and the civilization was destroyed in war. Based on the worship of gods using electrical signals, three simulated planets perished in a large-scale battle using electrical signals.]

[Warning, warning, the system is under persistent attack. Immediate action is recommended.]
