I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

—But this is a simulated universe.

It is far from perfect, and at most it can only support a novice to explore it. The footprints he leaves behind are new waterways, and then, mainly based on the self-operation of the simulated universe, it is gradually improved and outlined as a magnificent river.

The simulated star god stirred up a storm at this moment, commanding destiny and trying to be at the mercy of others, which is tantamount to wanting the newly sprouted seed to immediately bear full fruit.

The young [memory] destiny was unable to fulfill the Star God's commandments, and even its own operation began to malfunction, which rapidly expanded.

It descended into chaos, becoming a vulnerability in the simulated universe, and in an instant, it spread from a single point to the entire virtual world, causing the structure to collapse and crumble.

"..."

In the office, even a genius is at a loss.

The accident happened too quickly; she had no time to fix the vulnerability before the program completely stopped running.

Watching helplessly as Hua Yi was forcibly removed from the simulated universe and returned to the real world, Black Tower's expression changed repeatedly for a long time before he finally abandoned his pride as a genius and asked a question.

"what happened?"

"A simulated version of the Memory Star God has appeared, seeking to influence destiny."

Black Tower knew this, of course. Even though she couldn't observe everything that happened after Fu Li appeared, she could still determine the origin of the simulated universe's collapse through the background data.

No, is it really that fragile that a masterpiece created by geniuses can malfunction or crash so easily?

Let alone the initial ambition to explore the mysteries of the stars in the creation of the simulated universe, even an ordinary online game is a substandard product if players are immediately disconnected upon logging in.

Moreover, there is only one test subject at present.

In a daze, Black Tower almost thought he was a novice programmer who had spent countless resources carefully writing the program and confidently presented it, only to find it riddled with bugs, with each test revealing a problem.

If we apply the events of these two simulated universe tests to reality, is it possible for two star gods to stare at the same person for an extended period of time?

As a rigorous seeker of knowledge, Black Tower would not arbitrarily answer "impossible," but she could assert that the probability of such an outcome must be terrifyingly low.

My simulated universe has so many problems?

Or perhaps—the real anomaly isn't the program or the machine, but the person who enters it?

Before he even embarked on his destiny, he already possessed incredibly sophisticated abilities to manipulate imaginary numbers. Moreover, the threat posed by the previous extraterrestrial flame was too low, clearly failing to force Hua Yi to unleash his full power.

But would the Star God really pull specific individuals into his destiny indiscriminately based solely on their aptitude and talent?

This time, it was Black Tower that was staring at Hua Yi. Unlike the Star God simulation body, which would cause anomalies in the simulated universe with the slightest movement, the genius girl had plenty of time to observe him. She could circle around him from left to right and from top to bottom, looking at him repeatedly without any blind spots.

"As you can see, the simulated universe is malfunctioning again. I will fix it. Don't leave yet, sit here."

"Then wait for the repair to complete before testing?"

"No, it can't be fixed in a short time, but I hope you can stay here first."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yi realized that the genius young lady had developed a desire to investigate him.

An expected development.

Since they intend to understand their destiny through a simulated universe, experience its mysteries firsthand, and even take actions that cannot be easily attempted in reality, they are destined to trigger various special phenomena that will be observed by the system administrator, Black Tower.

"If attracting the attention of the Star God will cause the simulated universe to collapse, will I be unable to attempt to embark on the path of creating destiny again, or even continue working as a tester?"

"What a joke! There's no way a tester would be replaced just because they found a bug in the program."

The doll-like girl stared intently at Hua Yi.

"You are the most suitable person to test the simulated universe, without exception."

Originally, Black Tower had no intention of studying the Star Gods in a step-by-step manner. They never conformed to common sense. When Hua Yi mentioned constructing a virtual destiny path, she thought of using the data rollback to let the other party repeatedly experience the simulated universe, stepping into a different destiny path each time, and even trying to become a traveler of multiple destiny paths in one simulation at the same time.

Now that the tester has demonstrated a special quality that could affect the Star God simulation, Miss Genius is even less likely to let him go.

"You previously mentioned having my puppets guard the safe zone in emergencies, but that's hardly a request. It's essentially just about strengthening the space station's defenses. Do you have any personal wishes? You have enough value to be qualified to make a request of me, and I will use resources beyond this space station to fulfill them."

"My wish is for Ms. Black Tower to grant me one hundred wishes."

“Okay, that’s a great idea. When you make your hundredth wish, you can say you hope I can have a thousand or ten thousand wishes granted, right? But I refuse.”

The genius girl's refusal was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Chapter 47 You Stay With Me

How could a genius do something stupid? Just because he offered that Hua Yi could make requests, he should grant all of Hua Yi's wishes. That would be too foolish.

Could it be that Hua Yi said he wanted to become a Star God... no, to be even bolder, he wanted to be above the Star God, and I would have to find a way to satisfy him?

It would be a miracle if they could satisfy that demand.

The doll-like girl pouted.

"Can't we be more realistic?"

"The simulated universe has been experiencing problems one after another, and it was all Ms. Black Tower who was responsible for fixing them. I can imagine that after changing my destiny, or even embarking on multiple simulated destinies at the same time, it will inevitably lead to more complex situations. I will still need your help to solve them. I just hope that Miss Genius will not find it troublesome at that time."

“Only after I lose interest can I find something troublesome. Do you know what it means if I lose interest in the simulated universe? It can only mean that I have found a better way to study the Star Gods, or even that I have obtained all the answers that the simulated universe can reach!”

Black Tower imagined that scenario, and even a genius like her couldn't help but yearn for it.

"I'll give you this opportunity to make your request for now."

"it is good."

"What did it feel like when you stepped into the Memory Path in the simulated universe? The background data is too messy and there's a lot of corruption. I need to determine whether the initial simulated Memory Path was normal based on your personal experience."

"The ice and snow that froze everything, space and time seemed to be solidified under the influence of [memory]."

While dealing with program errors in the simulated universe and analyzing redundant data, the genius girl talked with Hua Yi, whom she had left behind.

"Legend has it that when everything returns to silence, Fuli will use the memory of the universe as a blueprint to lead all realms to rebirth—[Liuguang Yiting], who collects precious memories in the universe, firmly believes in this. If we regard all living beings as a torrent that rolls forward with the trajectory of time, [memory] is indeed frozen ice, sealing a certain moment of the torrent."

"So, the destiny of memories can influence time?"

"The Memory Memory of the Flowing Light Court can only preserve the past and record the present. The only ones who can truly influence the long river of time are probably the Star Gods."

The topic of celestial bodies with spirits always fascinated the Black Tower, and Hua Yi listened intently as well.

"Star Gods have no past. From the moment they ascend, their past and future are submerged by destiny. Do you understand?"

"So it's not just about the path of memory; every path of destiny can overwhelm a specific individual's time..."

"Once it comes to the Star God, all reasoning is just speculation. Throughout the universe, there are phenomena such as black holes and starquakes that can cause changes in the curvature of spacetime. Space and time are not unbreakable concepts that apply everywhere in the cosmos."

The question this guy asked was quite interesting.

If the malfunction in the simulated universe hadn't been so severe, nearly contaminating all the data outside the Star God simulation and requiring urgent repair to prevent a chain reaction of data collapse, the doll girl would have looked Hua Yi in the eye when she spoke to him, and seen what expression he had when he asked her questions.

"What, you're interested in [memory]? Do you think that if you become a traveler on the path of memory, you'll immediately gain the favor of the Star God Fu Li and be rewarded with a position as a messenger?"

"I'm interested, but not to the point of wanting to become the Star God's messenger."

"What's there to hide? Countless intelligent beings in the universe, if they know of the existence of Star Gods and Commanders, how many of them wouldn't fantasize about being watched by a Star God and receiving his favor? I'll say it again, the simulated universe is the simulated universe, and reality is reality."

Otherwise, if the real [Preservation] Cripper and [Memory] Fuli both set their sights on Hua Yi, even if the Black Tower yearns to witness the unknown, it will be difficult for them to laugh.

Because that could very well turn into a disaster.

[Breeding] Taizyuros once fought a great battle with [Gluttony] Obolos. The battle between the two star gods affected two-thirds of the known living regions of the universe, causing the destruction of countless star systems. Even if the battle between [Preservation] Kripper and [Memory] Fuli to snatch people might be kept to a low level, the Black Tower space station where Hua Yi is located, and the Azure Star below it, are destined to be reduced to ashes.

The idea of ​​Star Gods stealing people is unrealistic.

Fortunately, it's not realistic.

Black Tower stared at Hua Yi for a while longer.

"It will take me several system days to repair the simulated universe and inherit as much previous data as possible. When you go in to test again next time, you will start as a newcomer to the [Memory] Path of Destiny. I hope that by then, the Fuli simulation body will be able to detect the problem and stop trying to disturb the fragile simulated destiny at will."

"It seems that the Star God's emulation is completely beyond the control of the administrator?"

"You are not controllable, but you can exert influence indirectly. For example, I can give you an identity and make you appear as the fallen [pioneer] Akivili. However, your appeal is already great enough. Continuing to stack buffs would be deliberately challenging the simulated universe's capacity."

As it turns out, the simulated universe was simply not qualified to withstand the immense power of the Star God simulation body.

Star God, what a lofty term. Even the data artifacts cultivated through imitation are so special that their code cannot be directly viewed like ordinary programs. Instead, one must rely on a chance encounter during simulation tests.

According to Black Tower's prediction, Star God simulation bodies are not so easy to find; one must be a Star God in disguise. However, Hua Yi repeatedly defied the estimate.

“I said, why don’t you just stay in my office? Or I can put a doll in your dorm room to observe you around the clock.”

"Please respect personal privacy, Ms. Black Tower."

"What, my doll is so beautiful, you're not happy that it's staring at you? Or do you have some secret that you can't let others know?"

She didn't ask Hua Yi for a definite answer. The genius lady knew that this guy had a secret, otherwise the original planet column on his personal file wouldn't be garbled.

The clerk managing the archives might have thought it was a system error or a data loophole, but the Black Tower could eliminate these interferences. It seems that Hua Yi deliberately contaminated the corresponding information by using his talent in imaginary number manipulation through the terminal in the space station.

The Black Tower always treats characters who pique its interest with special favor, just as Estádio was able to become the stationmaster of the space station in one fell swoop. As for Hua Yi's little secret, the genius lady will not investigate it for the time being.

“You can handle any work here. You can use that terminal over there. If you get hungry, just call the food delivery robot. You can stay here as long as you want today.”

Chapter 48 The lookout might be the stationmaster.

"Does anyone know where Lord Hua Yi went? I'm waiting online."

"What are you doing, trying to sneak over and take pictures again? It's fine at other times, but right now all the departments are busy with the defense project, so you can't be absent-minded. Don't wait until something goes wrong and get your idol blamed by Ms. Black Tower."

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

"Of course I understand this principle, but after Lord Hua Yi left the monitoring room, we don't know where he went. After our Geography Department carried out a major maintenance on the department, we discovered the [Comet Hunter Treasure]. Actually, it was something left behind by a senior colleague of the department in a mysterious way, who wanted to give it to Lord Hua Yi for review."

"So it was just to take credit. How despicable! I never knew the Earth Sciences Department was so honest and obedient all the time, but they can be so cunning at crucial moments!"

"So where is Lord Hua Yi?"

"do not know."

As more and more members of the fan group reported that they had not seen Hua Yi in several systems, the departments of Secret Papers, Law and Politics, Geography, Boundary and Species, and Applied Physics all gave the same answer. Some even asserted that Hua Yi had not returned to the dormitory to rest, and everyone gradually became uneasy.

"So, really no one saw where Lord Hua Yi went?"

"Could it be that there really is a sinister individual on the space station, or even a cosmic evil force eyeing this place, who, after discovering that Lord Hua Yi has noticed something and wants to strengthen security, is secretly taking action against him?"

"what?!"

"What do we do? What do we do now?"

Seeing the chaos in the fan group, Estella had no choice but to speak using the pseudonym "[Anonymous]" to calm everyone down.

"Don't panic, everyone. I know what's going on. Lord Hua Yi went to Lady Black Tower's office. He must have something important to discuss."

"An anonymous group owner has appeared!"

"As expected of the group admin, he really does have special information channels."

"That's right. Only Ms. Black Tower's office is one of the few areas on the space station that cannot be entered or even approached without permission. No wonder we can't find it."

"It hasn't been that long, and Lady Black Tower has summoned Lord Hua Yi again. Heh heh, gold truly shines wherever it is; a truly brilliant star is enough to attract the attention of a genius~"

Once they were certain that their idol was safe and sound and that his career was still thriving, the chat group was filled with a joyful atmosphere again.

Even ordinary staff members could recount many stories about the true owner of the space station, Ms. Black Tower: a member of the Genius Club, the savior of Azure Star, and the proposer of many important scientific theories…

The space station is able to gather experts and scholars from all over the world, receive long-term support from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and enjoy the respect and even fear of different forces, mainly because of the reputation of the Black Tower Lady.

That genius was more important than the entire space station.

This renowned figure, who had not appeared on the space station for a long time, was honored by Hua Yi's unusual behavior of repeatedly summoning his staff.

Most people are happy that their idols are highly regarded, but some girls with unconventional thinking raise questions.

"Do you think Lady Black Tower might also like Lord Hua Yi, just like us?"

"To try to understand a genius using the thinking of an ordinary person, you are really delusional."

"Exactly, that genius has been famous for so long. It's too much of an exaggeration for an old cow to be with a young grass. If we really think about it that way, Station Master Estád and Lord Hua Yi are a better match."

"Even if you haven't seen the Black Tower lady doll, you've at least seen her picture, right? She looks even younger than Station Master Estella. Just think about it, this petite and cute girl is actually a mature and gentle older sister who has seen a lot in the world. Her charm is off the charts!"

Ordinary clerks, who never had the chance to meet the Black Tower puppet face-to-face, certainly had quite a vivid imagination.

But Estelle knew what kind of personality the genius girl had. Seeing the group members talking more and more outrageously, she wanted to stop them, but didn't know how to join the conversation.

We can't just ban everyone from speaking.

"I remember the space station is actually a warehouse for Lady Black Tower's collection of rare items. She keeps the things she's interested in in the Dark Room. If Lord Hua Yi arouses Lady Black Tower's interest, will he also be locked in the dark room? That's terrifying."

"Alas!"
