People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

Yue Yan scratched his head. The commission that had just started to show some improvement was temporarily interrupted by the employer. He had no choice but to go there first... But now he had found a place to temporarily store the creations, and he could also throw in the bean paste ash later.

"I have to go now, bye."

Christine waved her hand:

"Well, see you next time, Miss Yue Yan."

……

……

……

The scene changed, and Yue Yan came to the Black Tower office via the elevator.

This is the most mysterious place in the universe (not really), a holy place that countless scholars want to get a glimpse of... It is said that the manuscripts of Ms. Black Tower are scattered everywhere here, and each one, whether interrupted or completed, is enough to make the level of human technology take another big step forward.

But in fact, this is not the case - although Heita is somewhat short-lived and likes to throw manuscripts around, she is actually very clean. The office is quite tidy. Ruan Mei is sitting next to her, and next to her is the box of pastries that Yue Yan gave her. She is still eating it.

Yue Yan greeted, "Ruan Mei."

"Ah, you're here."

After seeing the person coming, she closed the box, put it into her storage device, and stood up to greet him:

"There's something... I need you to accompany me. This is a meeting between geniuses, or you could say it's an invitation.

Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with you."

Yue Yan was stunned for a moment:

"Ah, it has something to do with me?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is related to the Thirsty Drinker of All Realms."

Ruan Mei nodded:

"Yue Yan, have you heard about the locust plague?"

Chapter 143: The War of the Gods

The global locust plague was a disaster that once affected the entire universe.

Relevant scholars generally agree that this incident originated from the great leader who wanted to conquer the Silverfish Star, and that his actions led to the birth of this disaster. However, according to the analysis of a genius who simulates the universe and wishes to remain anonymous, this incident actually originated from the contact between the Umbrella Star God and the Order Star God.

Countless Amber Records ago, during the years when Taiyi still existed, his music once experienced an unexplained fluctuation...

According to the Qi Xiang Choir, that was the impact brought about by the end of the world. The star god who was traveling against time might have mentioned the matter of reproduction to Taiyi at that time, which scared him.

After this, Taiyi sent people to the Worm Star through some kind of revelation, wanting to deal with the matter secretly, prevent the birth of reproduction, and protect the order among the stars.

Then comes the classic story: trying to change one's fate but instead accelerating it... The insects on this small planet were almost wiped out by the war, and Taiziyuros, the last member of the Coleoptera, ignited the flame of destiny in endless loneliness and hatred, and ascended to become a god.

He tore off the part called reproduction from his own immortal destiny. From then on, the dragon descendants in the starry sea lost the ability to reproduce and were forced to undergo sterilization surgery. In return, the insect god proliferated crazily.

Endless swarms of Zerg instantly overwhelmed the small planet and began to move towards the sea of stars - they had no thoughts and no wisdom, but just kept polluting one planet after another, turning civilization into a paradise for Zerg and corroding galaxies into Zerg nests.

The Breeding Star God is actually one of the weaker ones among the Star Gods - his destiny is very narrow, and the power he controls is also weaker, otherwise he would not have been killed by the three hammers of the Amber King.

But for ordinary people, reproduction is a natural disaster that is even more terrifying than destruction, because it is similar to a kind of memetic pollution. When the Sand King was alive, wherever the swarm of insects passed, anything that met the characteristic of "increase" would automatically turn into insects.

What prints out of the printing press is no longer paper, what is fired from the gun is no longer bullets, and what is born in the delivery room is no longer babies - at the moment of birth, they will all turn into insects, breeding offspring of the Star God, helping him to expand his territory.

In severe cases, even an individual's thoughts can lead to the birth of insects.

Even more terrifying than Tm Tyrannosaurus.

In just a few years, this horrific insect plague swept across countless galaxies, and countless civilizations fell at the hands of the plague. They had no power to resist - the food in the fields and the factories producing weapons all became insect nests for the other side to increase their value when the breeding came.

The power of order is constantly weakening, and most of the universe is about to fall. At this critical moment...

Obolos said: "It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Feeling the swarm of insects spreading across the entire starry sea, Tantao looked at the snacks that were delivered to his doorstep. He was so excited that he almost didn't know what to say. He didn't even bother to gnaw on the broken wall of the Amber King, but started fighting with the Sand King directly.

At this point, the battle between the gods officially begins, and the Insect Emperor of Breeding is about to fight his final battle!

The battle between the two gods affected nearly two-thirds of the living universe, dimming billions of stars and wiping out all life. However, as mentioned earlier, this divine war, while not a battle, was more like a one-sided attack by greed over reproduction.

And he was just hitting it casually, not taking it seriously at all, because his purpose was to eat, and everything else was just trivial?

Oboros opened his huge mouth and sucked billions of tiny "dust particles" as small as smoke into his mouth. Naturally, the insect swarms in it were all exterminated, and Taiziyuros had no power to resist at all. He could only keep on living to prevent himself from being eaten to death.

Although for the creatures in the universe, greedy behavior can hardly be considered helpful. After all, there is actually no difference between being bitten to death by insects and being swallowed by ancient beasts.

But objectively speaking, he did effectively prevent the spread of the Zerg, and to a certain extent weakened the power of Order again, clearing the way for the subsequent annexation by Harmony.

After that, no one knows what happened... Relevant scholars only know that the Amber King could no longer tolerate the destruction brought about by the expansion of the insect swarm, so he went to find the Sand King and hit him with one hammer, two hammers, and three hammers.

So breeding died.

However, there are still many doubts about that war, because many people among the stars said that many gods actually participated in this war of gods, because there were echoes of many gods when the Sand King fell, but they have no solid evidence... What the geniuses want to figure out is what happened back then.

"The main reason I called you here is to let you enter the simulated universe and help explore the truth of the War of the Gods. Do you understand?"

At this moment, five people have gathered in the simulated universe - Heita, Ruan Mei, Xing, Yue Yan who had just been brought in by Ruan Mei, and an... elegant intelligent mechanical noble?

"Hello, Miss Yueyan, nice to meet you. I'm Genius Club #76, Screw Gum."

There was a gentleness in the fluorescent green mechanical eyes of Screwgum - although he was just a cold machine, he seemed to be more powerful than the other two geniuses.

"I came to the space station some time ago, but you had already left, so I didn't get to see you. I didn't expect to meet you in the simulated universe. I guess: waiting always pays off."

Yue Yan nodded and replied in a friendly manner:

"Hello, Mr. Screw Gum, I've heard a lot about you."

Three geniuses were in the same room. Although everyone except Black Tower looked calm, this was undoubtedly a major event worthy of being recorded by the universe and a historic moment.

What they wanted to talk about was the new module developed for the simulated universe and the crisis that affected the entire universe - the universal locust plague.

"To make a long story short, we previously invited Xing to act as Akivelli in the simulated universe."

Heita cleared his throat, looked at Yue Yan, and said, "She helped us gather a lot of information about the Star Gods, but it was all about development without exception... We need more, so we need you to play the role of Greedy during that insect plague and gain more intelligence about the War of the Gods from your perspective.

There is no doubt that there is no one in the entire universe who is more suitable for this position than you. Although Oboros has not had much contact with other star gods and all he does is eat, his position is still extremely important... How about it, do you want to give it a try?

When the job is done, I will pay you, whether it is credits or something you want, in any form you can accept."

"Oh, I get it."

The girl suddenly realized: "You just want me to play the role of the Greedy Star God in the simulated universe and collect information about the Star God for you, right?"

"Yes."

Heita nodded, with a "teachable" expression:

"This job is clean and sanitary. All you need to do is..."

"But I refuse."

Black Tower: "?"

Chapter 144: Simulated Universe, Delicious!

"why?"

"The reason is simple... This job is probably going to be pretty boring, so I'm too lazy to do it."

The reason Yue Yan gave was quite simple and plain - mainly because she didn't want to waste her time on meaningless things.

Testing in a simulated universe would waste a lot of time. Although not much time would pass in the outside world, her own feelings were real, and it was really too long.

And at least as far as the insect plague was concerned, Greedy's perspective wasn't actually that important... He was a taciturn god who only knew how to eat when he opened his big mouth. His so-called confrontation with the Insect God was simply about eating, and the two gods had never really had any contact.

Not to mention how bored I'd be if I spent so much time inhaling into the star storm, what useful information about the Star Gods could you possibly extract from a foodie like him? With that little time, I'd be better off researching something delicious.

If you just want to play the simulated universe as an RPG game, that's fine. The immersive experience will definitely be great... but forget about being a glutton.

"Well, you have a point. Well, forget it. If you don't want to do it, I can't force you."

To the girl's surprise, Heita didn't seem to be particularly persistent about this and didn't even offer any advice.

She sighed: "It's a pity for my light cones. They are good things I just bought from Yi Ting. Since you don't want them..."

"Hey, wait a minute."

As soon as these words came out, Yue Yan's expression suddenly changed... She leaned down, bringing her height to the same level as the black tower doll, and said with a chuckle:

"Please elaborate on the light cone part."

Before, when the Antimatter Legion had just invaded the space station, Yue Yan had obtained a light cone from the Black Tower, called the Moment When the Giant Hammer Fell... It seemed that a company employee had witnessed the shocking moment when the Amber King's giant hammer fell.

It was an excellent ingredient, containing the power of remembering destiny, but because it increased combat power, she was reluctant to eat it and just kept it with her.

"Those are products from Yiting. They have reached a deep cooperation with the company. In exchange for the technology I have, the company chose to use these little things to please me..."

Heita's eyes were full of confidence, and his words were full of temptation:

"You can rest assured about their quality. I guarantee that every one of these is much better than the one you have in your hand."

She said this, then gently waved her hand, and three crystal-clear cones of light appeared in her palm. "How about it? You just need to help me test the simulated universe... Seriously, those scholars from the Polymath Society haven't had the chance to test it yet."

Faced with this tempting reward, Yue Yan replied without hesitation:

"make a deal."

……

The simulated universe is Xing's home ground. Before joining the Starry Sky Train, she had already helped the Black Tower conduct tests in the simulated universe as a pioneering star god, while Yue Yan was a novice.

However, she probably won't have the chance to guide newbies in the simulated universe as a test server boss... Mainly because in this plot, Tantao has almost no connection with Akivali.

One of the two gods was busy eating, while the other, with Aha's help, assisted Brother Tumu in killing insects. After Kaituo finished killing the insects, Tantao was full and went back to sleep.

"You two, if you're ready, go straight from here into the real simulation."

Heita pointed to a device beside him—a pure white card about two meters long.

"We've already set it up for you. This time, the plot will begin directly with the insect plague. We'll monitor the relevant data and collect information in real time. Good luck."

Yue Yan looks a little nervous:

"This...isn't there any beginner's guide or something?"

"I used to have it, but I didn't think it was useful, so I deleted it... It's not like I'm playing a sandbox survival game anyway. You know what you need to do once you get in, so hurry up."

At Black Tower's urging, the two exchanged glances before simultaneously reaching out to touch the pure white card...

The next second, the two felt the card in front of them suddenly enlarged, and pure and flawless white light occupied their entire field of vision.

Even if I subconsciously closed my eyes because of the glare, I couldn't stop the invasion of the white light.

Until the light disappeared...what appeared before Yue Yan's eyes again was a brand new world.

This wasn't some physical world, but she suddenly felt like she had arrived in a higher dimension, where the rules of the real universe became within her reach...

It seemed that as long as she wanted, she could change the universe, because there was a powerful force surging in her body, which seemed inexhaustible.

She was no stranger to this... that was the power of greed that she used every day.

But at this moment, this power was firmly grasped in his palm. It was completely different from the sealed state it was in on ordinary days. He could mobilize it at will without any external force, and he could do whatever he wanted. And it...

“Extraordinarily powerful.”

Yue Yan muttered to himself—this power is simply too strong, far stronger than the Taolong. Is this the power of a Star God? It feels like being above all things in the universe...

At this moment, she suddenly felt a surge of hunger in her heart, the feeling went straight to her soul. She was hungry, very hungry... almost drowning her reason. She needed to eat something.

He could eat anything. Driven by hunger, he was too lazy to worry about cooking. He just wanted to eat his fill.

So he opened his huge mouth and sucked in the storm of billions of stars, sending the tiny dust particles along with the swarms of insects on them into his stomach... But this was not enough, far from enough!

"I want to eat more."

Yue Yan shifted his gaze to another sea of stars and began to recklessly turn the stars and the sea of insects in the universe into his own food, completely disregarding the feelings of the other god.

However, what he didn't know was that as Greed devoured the universe, something unexpected happened to the higher levels of the simulated universe...

Simply put, they discovered that the structure of the module simulating the locust plague in the universe became unstable the moment Yue Yan started eating. Some areas began to break apart and gradually collapsed, eventually disappearing...
