Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

"Or is it a war of gods?"

"I remember that 'Breeding Star God' Taizyuros only got three hammer blows..."

"How chaotic must the world be right now?"

Lin Yi: "It's not that exaggerated..."

Ask if they want to go back quickly; if so, hurry up. Briefly describe Theolith's situation and quickly find an excuse to leave. I feel there are very few comments in these chapters, perhaps because people don't like reading quickly.

Chapter 413 Zandal still loves tinkering with computers.

Lin Yi: "It was probably due to some oversights by Ruan Mei, and some unforeseen circumstances similar to those faced by Elijah Salas, that 'breeding' almost had to play a comeback match."

"Then, each side used their own methods to nail the coffin lid shut on 'breeding'."

"And because of a memorial submitted to the Guardian Star God by the 'Genius Club'."

"The 'Guardian Star God' Kripper devoured the remaining propagation, allowing future megastructures like the 'Celestial Wisdom Wall' and the 'Subspace Crystal Wall' to grow on their own."

"Those hundred or so hammer blows were from Cripper's renovations. The war of the gods didn't break out. The universe remains safe and sound... largely unharmed."

Elijah Salas: "..."

Elijah Salas, the old man, was now at a loss for words...

However, this did not prevent Theolith from continuing his narration.

Theorix: "Then, allow me to confirm the time once again—"

Theorix projected a projection of an object onto his hand.

Lin Yi recognized it at a glance; it was a star core.

Theorix: "I want to confirm whether anything similar to this appeared on a large scale in your time?"

"It manifests as blocking open sea routes, causing special calamities, and tearing open special rifts to encroach on reality."

Lin Yi frowned. He hadn't noticed it at first glance, but upon closer inspection...

The star core projected by Theorix and the one Lin Yi used to summon the Dome seem to be...

Lin Yi: "The general consensus in the world is that the stellar core disaster began in the Amber Period 2147."

"Ground Zeroes—Merustan, the place of ascension of Idrila, the 'Pure Star Goddess'."

“Mr. Theorix, this star core in your hand…”

Theorix: "Let me state a premise first: roughly estimating by the standing waves of thought, time here is already out of sync with the universe."

"And I found this... 'Star Core' at the very end of the 'Chronicle of Blood Brocade'."

Theorix quickly accepted the name Star Core.

"When I first found it, the star core was tightly and cleverly sealed and locked. When I unlocked it, I noticed traces of human modification on the star core."

"But they failed to realize what the purpose of this star core was, and after being left unattended, it caused a disaster."

"Only then did I become truly interested in it and conduct in-depth research."

"It possesses a special power, but the source of its power remains a mystery."

"I surmise that this thing called a star core is not an isolated case of corrosiveness, and there should be a large-scale outbreak."

"It's a pity we never got to see it... but now we know why. It must have come from the future?"

Lin Yi: “…”

"It's not just from the future... this one of yours... must have been modified by me..."

Then Lin Yi and Theorix turned to look at Elijah Salas.

'Time slots collapse into points in time, with the past, present, and future occurring simultaneously—'

It's roughly about what happened to Qiong afterward, such as when he returned to the world that truly belonged to him, the star core fell into a time point due to fluctuations in spacetime, and then fell out to the era of Theorix.

Lin Yi: "We'll investigate why this star core traveled back in time later..."

What Lin Yi wanted to know most right now was just how much trouble Theolix had caused.

Theorix: "Then, as you wish, I will simplify the tedious narrative."

"At that time, I had an immature idea."

"The power of harmony can accumulate like soil to form a mountain, and like water to form a deep pool."

"Wisdom manifests in many ways. So, is it possible to gather the wisdom of many without loss through the power of 'harmony'? When there are enough lives, if there is even a fleeting moment when the collective wisdom surpasses the erudite in any aspect of 'wisdom,' it might be able to directly shake 'intellectual knowledge.'"

"Rather than arguing over the right-of-way—"

That's so arrogant...

This was Lin Yi's first thought.

Competing with the stars in a clever and unconventional way to see who goes further on their "destiny's path"...

Theoretically, this could indeed overthrow the Star God, but the prerequisites for this theory are simply impossible to achieve.

Lin Yi: "Abyss might have some common topics with you..."

"You two can actually talk about it sometime in the future."

Theorix: "As long as the scale of a Harmonious Musical ensemble is large enough, and by utilizing the all-encompassing nature of 'Harmony,' one of the thousand incarnations of the 'Harmonious Star God,' can be transformed."

"It makes it more inclined to gather collective wisdom."

"Then the theory can stand."

"And so...the practice began—"

Theoliths: "I use myself as a relay, through a standing wave of His thought, via the initial, un-iterated sonnet program that originally constituted the 'Erudite' system."

"Imitating those remnants of the established order hidden within families, through a series of covert manipulations, a certain amount of 'intellect' was integrated into localized 'harmony.'"

"Once everything was in place, I began a pilot experiment for this experimental theory—the subtle ripples of intellectual activity from billions of beings—the sparks of thought, flashes of inspiration, calculations, emotional resonances…all were perfectly harmonized, extracted, and converged through the power of 'harmony.'"

"Successfully created the 'Hippie's Thousand Avatars, a Collection of Wisdom'"

Flowing symbols, formulas, logical frameworks, and artistic imagery... constitute the "Harmonious Intelligence Core." It doesn't rely heavily on forced harmonic reversals, but rather makes full use of the inclusiveness of harmony.

"If we consider the 'Harmony Intelligence Core' as a whole, it can be considered a unique biological computer. Each connected life form is a basic computing unit within it."

"Then I abandoned the idea."

"They erased the existence of this experiment, erased the existence of the 'Harmony Core,' blamed all the anomalies on the remnants of the Order within the family, and continued to hide."

Lin Yi: "Why?"

Theorix shook his head slightly: "I overestimated the wisdom of ordinary people."

"Even considering the scale of the pilot 'Harmony Intelligence Core,' a Harmony Envoy whose core representation is collective wisdom, and which gathers countless intelligent beings, its intelligence is still far inferior to that of a genius."

"Then it's just simple calculations—"

"Using this pilot project as a standard model, based on the known size of the universe inside the wall and the known distribution of life."

"Calculations show that even if the wisdom of all sentient beings were truly integrated... it would still be far less than a single thought by the Venerable Master Humility."

"Suppose bacteria possessed intelligence equivalent to that of ordinary humans, and repeated the above process using bacteria."

"If we want the collective wisdom to surpass the erudite, then these intelligent bacteria would need to accumulate and fill a space the size of several known universes."

Chapter 414 Is it possible that there are people on this planet?

Theoliths: "This is only a conservative estimate. The title of 'Erudite' continues to rise."

Lin Yi: "A very simple and unpretentious reason..."

There is a misunderstanding about "learned and respected" as well as about ordinary people.

Lin Yi: "So what happened next?"

Theoric: "There is a kind of wisdom that has no 'self' but contains the 'self of all beings'."

"It does not 'think,' yet it constantly generates 'wisdom' that surpasses that of any single thinker."

"Its very existence is an endless fugue composed by the wisdom of the entire universe."

Riddlers are really annoying!

Based on Theolix's self-introduction and the story he had just heard, Lin Yi made a rough guess, but he didn't know if it was correct; it was just a guess.

Lin Yi: "You mean the movement of celestial bodies?"

Theorix: "It was precisely—and exactly—a chance discovery while developing the 'Harmonious Intelligence Core'."

The definition of "intellectual knowledge" is inherently broad.

"Just like organic, intelligent life, their brains contain only a small portion that they control."

"Most of it is controlled by the subconscious mind, which regulates every hormone in the body, every protein synthesis, every electrical signal, and every subtle muscle movement."

"These silences cannot be easily controlled by human intelligence, but they are indeed a manifestation of 'intelligence.'"

"The same principle applies to the movement of celestial bodies. At that time, I discovered that the movement of 'celestial bodies' is also a kind of 'knowledge'—"

"However, I only consider it as an interesting record of phenomena."

Theorix: "Until I obtain that star core from the future!"

"Because of the release from restraint and the subsequent abandonment to oblivion, the star core erupted, and after the catastrophe, it blocked the shipping lanes."

"I researched this, and that's how I discovered another phenomenon on a macroscopic level—"

"The pioneering star trails connect all realms—it's a complex network."

"The driving force of the stellar core is extremely unique, and I... happen to have some knowledge of imaginary numbers—"

"As I said before, I suspect that this thing called the Star Core is not an isolated case and will erupt on a large scale."

"So, what would happen if this star core really did erupt on every planet, blocking the pioneering star orbits segment by segment?"

Theorix projected another image, which was the complete map of the pioneering star trails. It was unclear how Theorix had obtained it.

However, it wouldn't be surprising if a genius wanted to get his hands on this.

Lin Yi watched with great interest.

Elijah Salas, however, showed little interest. He had already heard all of this once, having exchanged information with Theorix before.

With a gentle tap, Theorix marked countless dense red dots on the star trail, representing the star's core.

Then the entire model of the star orbit and star core is dissected.

Scaling and decomposing the complete star trail and star core model.

Lin Yi understood, but it was precisely because of this that Lin Yi was startled.

Theorix: "He viewed the pioneering star trails as communication circuits, and the star core as circuit nodes."

"So this is a massive computing unit, measured in terms of the entire universe."

“Modify all the star cores so that they can convert imaginary energy to drive this ‘computing unit’.”

"Thus, the world's only 'imaginary number computer' is complete."

"By bypassing the Star God's authority over imaginary numbers, this would be an existence on par with the Star God."

"Furthermore, since 'knowledge' has already been occupied by 'the venerable one of broad knowledge,' it cannot become another 'knowledge.'"

"It is not a star god, but it is equivalent to a star god—"

"Extracting imaginary numbers, we can create all things."

"What a magnificent feat! To fulfill the long-cherished wish of felling 'intellect,' a sharp axe of equal caliber is indispensable."

Zandal still loves computers so much!

First it was erudite scholars, then biological computers, and now they've come up with imaginary computer technology.

Who knows, maybe Zandal's other "mind slices" are still working on other computers?

However, Theolix certainly did not succeed.

Lin Yi: "You failed."
