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

Abis O Siskar: "I ate a lot of Yizhe in my early years. It tasted very good, but it was hard to digest."

Element perception – the rememberer.

Lin Yi was successfully manipulated, and after only a moment's thought, he happily made a decision: "No problem, no problem. Why do you need a thousand or eight hundred? There will be plenty in the future, as many as you want."

Lin Yi jumped up and sat on the table, putting his arm around Lin Yi's shoulder as if they were old brothers.

Abis Information Technology dodged Lin Yi and slipped to the side.

Lin Yi took out most of the anisodamines he was carrying, about 300 in total.

Lin Yi patted his chest and assured him, "I brought 400 with me. I'll give you some first. If you need more later, come to Space City and get more. I said I'd have enough, and I meant I'd have enough."

No matter who you are, whether you're fighting for Yiting or attacking the Legion, you're still my good brother.

Screw Columb: "Well then, I think we should continue our conversation that we've been interrupting for so long. After spending some time together, I'm willing to trust Ms. Abyss's character."

"But please tell me the purpose of your visit."

Abyss sighed softly: "I am a creation of Siskar, not a continuation of its life. What forms the foundation of my existence and sustains my life is its 'Key of Knowledge.' When I became a genius, I also possessed a 'Key of Knowledge.'"

"Now—both the 'Key of Wisdom' that constitutes my body from Siskar, and the one that belonged to me… are broken."

Screw Coulomb pressed, "Why did they break?"

"Logic, the key to knowledge, cannot be easily damaged; conventional methods are ineffective against it."

After a long silence, Abyss uttered the unexpected name, word by word: "The Void Star God—Ix!"

"Because I went too deep into nothingness, my existence was almost completely eroded and erased by nothingness. Even the traces I left in the world were almost completely wiped out."

"No one remembers that I was ever born, no one remembers what I ever did. That's why the 'Genius Club' #30 you know isn't me."

"Fortunately, thanks to my unique form of existence, extremely high life essence, and the intervention of several unknown star gods, I was able to save my life."

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and he gasped, "You're going to go that far? Venturing deep into the Void and Shadows???"

Data turbulence also appeared in Screw Cobalt's eyes, clearly indicating that it was also shocked by Abyss's actions.

Abis remained remarkably calm, as if the person being described wasn't himself: "Because of an irrepressible curiosity, as fellow geniuses, you should be able to understand."

Wow, Lin Yi really wanted to clap his hands. I thought the Memory Master of "Flowing Light Memory Court" was invincible, but I never expected there would be such a fierce general!

What a brave warrior!

Screw Cobalt: "Ms. Abyss, please forgive my impolite interruption, but I am genuinely very curious."

Screw Cobalt: "What exactly draws you to delve into the void?"

It's hard to imagine how Screwcom managed to calm down and ask the question in such a nonchalant tone.

The Abyss explained simply, "My life form is very special; you should be able to understand the meaning of the 'Key to Knowledge' as a physical body."

"If Bo Shizun is a computer, then I am a computing node, a storage unit, within that computer."

"In a sense, it's hard to say that I'm an independent life form; I'm more like a part of the Venerable One. My naturally divine high status allows me to see things that ordinary people can't see through the Venerable One's vision."

Neither Lin Yi nor Screw Coulomb interrupted. Lin Yi even held his breath and listened attentively, afraid of disturbing them.

Abyss: "I saw what appeared to be a great void deep in the shadows of nothingness, and from that perspective—Ix was like a soft, worm-like plug that could change shape, firmly sealing the hole."

Lin Yi: "Iks blocked an unknown hole?"

Abyss nodded: "Yes, the Void Star God has blocked an unknown hole. Does that hole lead to a crisis that will bring destruction, or an unprecedented opportunity?"

"No genius can resist curiosity or be moved by such unknown things that may involve the essence of the world."

Lin Yi: No! I can hold back! Please don't generalize from personal behavior to the entire Genius Club!

Ruan Mei: ...

Abyss: "So I went there, intending only to collect some data from the periphery and compare it to see if I could find anything. But the void has an exceptionally large impact on life forms like mine, much larger than I expected."

Abis looked completely at ease.

Abis: "This is completely contrary to my original expectation that the near-wise wise one should have some resistance to nothingness."

"I succumbed to the shadow of nothingness, losing all color and meaning, gradually sinking deeper into the black sun of nothingness. When I awoke again, I had returned to the 'Metaverse Space.'"

"The 'Key of Wisdom' of Siskar, which is also my original self, has disappeared. In its place is half of the 'Key of Wisdom' that belongs to me. It has replaced the original Siskar's key."

“Since then, I have lived a secluded life, perhaps because of the influence of the void, I have lost all inspiration. The inspiration that used to flash through my mind thousands or tens of thousands of times in the past, I have not felt even once in the hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of years since then.”

Abyss's gaze drifted, as if he were reminiscing about that time.

Abyss said with a self-deprecating tone, "It's ridiculous that I didn't cherish it much in the past, and that inspiration that I took for granted has become something hard to come by."

“I have lost the ability to study new problems and create new things. I can only continue to study, advance and update on the foundation laid in the past, and build tall buildings on the basis of the past plans.”

"So, over a long period of time, I continuously improved and expanded the computing power of the original 'Quantum Starlink,' and evolved a unique governing logic. I tried to think like the minds of others who were incorporated into 'Quantum Starlink,' borrowing their inspiration."

"I have also considered finding a genius to coexist with, to form a deep enough relationship, and to borrow inspiration from fellow geniuses."

"After all, inspiration is the most abundant and redundant thing for a normal genius—"

Abis sighed softly: "But unfortunately, I've considered it carefully, and it's difficult to establish sufficient mutual trust with unknown geniuses. The geniuses who have emerged after me are also somewhat... well."

Abis pondered what words to use to describe it.

"Too abstract."

“Elijah Salas later was suitable, but I was still observing him, and he died of old age after only 80 years of observation!”

What a long observation period of 80 years! Is it possible that your predecessor, Sisikar, only lived for 29 days?

Lin Yi suppressed the urge to complain.

Chapter 120 Wisdom Shared with You

If only Zhu Xing were here, kids say the darndest things.

Lin Yi couldn't help but think to himself that he really wished he had a companion who could vent his frustrations and say what was inconvenient for him to say.

Abyss O Siskar: "There's not much more to say after that. We've been staying in the 'Metaverse Space' until recently. Lin Yi, you've obtained two incomplete 'Keys of Wisdom,' both of which are Siskar's 'Keys of Wisdom.'"

"Having delved deeply into the quantum realm, I never believe in coincidences. There must be a celestial being pulling the strings behind the scenes, just as I was able to escape from the shadowy void."

"But I wonder which deity, who has merged with the Dao and is in harmony with all things, made this move?"

"So I started observing secretly again, until I gave a little greeting earlier."

Lin Yi nodded: "So you've come to reclaim your Key of Wisdom? Why didn't you stop me when I turned the Key of Wisdom I initially obtained into a magical artifact?"

Abyss shook his head: "That half and the half you got later are both worthless, they're useless to me now."

"The effects of nothingness are irreversible; the absence of existence causes me to continue to slowly dissipate, and my eternal lifespan has an unknown end."

It seems that in this universe, any individual or group involved in eternal lifespan will encounter various drawbacks or accidents.

"I came to the 'Divine Firmament Space City' because I sensed that a Star God intended for me to leave the 'Primordial Domain Space,' and since I had no destination in mind, I came to find you out of curiosity."

"But now—I have an idea~"

At this moment, Abyss stared intently at Lin Yi.

"After observing you for this period of time, there is no doubt about your character."

"Even proud geniuses can befriend you and fool around with you. You have accomplished what Elijah Salas could only dream of. To have so many geniuses acknowledge you..."

Abyss extended his hand with sincere eyes: "Although this is our first formal meeting, I am willing to trust you. Are you willing to trust me and share your inspiration with me?"

"If you are willing, from now on we will be one, your talents will make up for my shortcomings, and my wisdom will also be used by you."

Abis O. Szczakal: "After all these years, I've reached a dead end and desperately need a new research direction..."

Lin Yi was shocked! So sudden! He had been observing Elijah Salas for 80 years.

Why did it take so long to get to him?

The wisdom of a genius...

Lin Yi: I have a bold idea.

Abyss: I have the capacity to match it.

Lin Yi & Abis: This is our exhilarating combination move.

Lin Yi remained silent. He was indeed very tempted, but he did not agree immediately.

Lin Yi: "Exchanging a genius's inspiration for a genius's wisdom is a perfectly equitable and tempting deal. But—"

Lin Yi: "As you said, mutual trust is needed. I need to know what your 'Quantum Starlink' actually means? How do you intend to utilize my inspiration?"

Abis is now very happy; not directly refusing is tantamount to agreeing.

Abis-Szczal: "Quantum Starlink is essentially the product of the convergence of my mastery of the fields of information engineering and phase transformation."

"You know, after losing all inspiration, I can only keep piling on the things I used to study and master until I reach a certain extreme."

"Quantum Starlink is the product of my efforts in these two fields, after I had reached a dead end. They inevitably converged after reaching a certain level—"

Lin Yi, with fried chicken in one hand and a can of cola in the other, said, "Different paths, same destination?"

Abis-Szczal: "You could say that; that convergence represents the deep development and ultimate utilization of the quantum realm—"

"By utilizing the ubiquitous quantum ripples, we can easily accomplish everything that was previously possible or impossible in the fields of 'information engineering' and 'phase transformation'."

Seeing Lin Yi eating so happily, Abyss couldn't resist and grabbed a handful to start crunching on the memory crystals as well.

Screw Cobalt: "Recording, the intersection of information engineering and phase transformation fields"

Slugum: "It is hypothesized that research in the quantum realm could advance collaboration among all inorganic life forms and help achieve mutual understanding within inorganic life forms."

Screw Cobalt: "Logically, the first step to achieving harmonious coexistence between organic and inorganic life could be to make all inorganic life fully understand the significance of doing so."

Screw Cobalt: "In conclusion, thank you Ms. Abis for sharing."

Abyss glared at Slugum. Was this burst of inspiration at this moment a mockery of her?

Screw Coulomb immediately realized the inappropriateness of the occasion: "I'm sorry, Ms. Abyss, you are an undisputed genius, and I have no intention of showing off in front of you."

Abyss rolled its eyes at it, ignoring Screw Cobalt, its good mood for gnawing on the memory crystal was completely ruined.

Abis-Szczal: "So later I used the synchronicity of the ripples to create a shared network of consciousness. An accidental 'quantum ripple' connected with other sentient beings."

"I was incredibly excited to discover that the wisdom and inspiration of the intellectual beings connected to this consciousness network could resonate with mine."

However, Abis's face did not reflect the excitement in her words; instead, it showed immense disappointment.

Indeed, if Abyss's inspiration were still intact, she could have used the few days that her predecessor, Siskar, spent to help the primitive, ignorant spider civilization ascend to become an interstellar civilization—a testament to her genius.

There was absolutely no need for any unexpected events to reveal the future of the research; the wisdom of the Abyss had already foreseen this on its own.

Abis-Szskar: "I have begun to continuously connect intelligent life forms into the Quantum Starlink network. Each star in the Quantum Starlink network is an intelligent life form."

The cube that symbolizes the three-dimensional unfolding of the "Quantum Star Chain" appears in the Abyss's hand; this part exposed in the material universe is only a corner of it.

Then, several holographic chains extend and outline a star map. By gazing carefully at the star map, one can vaguely see the intelligent life symbolized by each point of light on the star map.

Lin Yi and Luo Sigu silently recorded their observations.

Abis-Szczal: "Later, the numbers became too large to fully utilize the collective intelligence of those connected to Quantum Starlink."

"I developed a 'chain matrix' of thinking to unify, regulate, and integrate chaotic thoughts."

"Even so, the chaotic thoughts within Quantum Link were still too numerous and even began to affect my thinking to some extent. For this reason, I developed 'Dominating Logic'—"

"A special technology that materializes and vectorizes thinking and logical abilities, similar in effect to a thought imprint, but entirely different."

"Through the 'logic of domination,' it maintains its absolute dominance and the power of life and death over those within the 'Quantum Starlink.'"

Chapter 121 Sooner or later, we'll capture Elio and sterilize him.

Abis-Szskar: "Further, we extend the 'Logic of Domination' to create information locks that shackle thought, ensuring the absolute loyalty of all intelligent beings connected to the 'Quantum Starlink' to me. We also redirect stray thoughts in other directions, preventing them from remaining within the 'Quantum Starlink' and causing interference."

"You recognize the direction this stream of thoughts is heading—Decora of 'Kaspellynyat VIII'."

Abyss mentioned a name that Lin Yi hadn't expected, a name he thought he would only have a chance to find out when he went to Pinocchio.

Lin Yi: "Is he related to you?"

Abis blinked: "I guess so. He was a failed experiment from the Siskar period."

“Sisikar once tried to create a 'Full O Fate Walker' who possessed all the Fate Path energies.”
