I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

“Oh! My Archivist! Look what you have shown me! Nanuk’s power is pulsating, and Kripper’s sparks are shining brightly. So it was Fuli who recorded him! These bad guys found a treasure and didn’t even tell their good friend. They’re so stingy to keep it to themselves.”

Seeing Aha stride towards him, bringing with him a wave of joy, and before he could even speak, he sent the unrelated silver wolf projection flying into the distance, Hua Yi pondered how to react in a split second.

He understood the meaning behind the Star God's simulated words: the power of destruction still lingered around the Godfall Sword, and the protective spark originated from the last time the Amber King's hammer fell.

If one wanted to remain cautious, one could have stopped creating ripples that would lead to one's doom long ago. The protective marks left on one's body at the level of simulated cosmic data could also have been asked to be removed by the Black Tower, thus minimizing one's uniqueness.

But this is a simulated universe, an experimental field for bold attempts.

As Aha approached and scrutinized him from head to toe, Hua Yi was also observing this headless star god who was holding a mask.

If one had to draw a line between divinity and mortality in the way the Star Gods operate, then Ahab must be a Star God who is quite close to the mortal side.

A rich array of emotions, and distinctive personalities in speech and behavior, all prove this point.

However, to simply regard Him as a clown among the gods would be utterly foolish.

Hua Yi had some understanding of the Starry Sky Railway universe and had also read extensively from the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls. He knew that although the Joyful Star God did not leave behind any world-shaking miracles like the Hunting and Protection Stars, he was using some unseen means to subtly influence the direction of all living beings, demonstrating an extraordinary and exquisite control over reality.

The traces of Aha and his followers can be found in many major cosmic events, such as the Universal Insect Plague and the War of the Mechanical Emperor.

He can manipulate the joys and sorrows, loves and hates of intelligent beings, and cause the upheaval and turning point of destiny, turning a trivial ripple into an earth-shaking tsunami.

"Hey, don't be so formal. What's your name? Let me check the system logs on the computer—oh, your name is Hua Yi! Want to try [Pleasure]? Please try it, you really should!"

Aha circled around Huayi, gesturing wildly.

"Think about it, you attract the attention of that idiot Cunhu, or that madman Destruction wants you to acknowledge Him. Just when my good friends are excitedly preparing to do something, I stand there in your place. Maybe before they even realize it, I can get some orders and start a tug-of-war in their destiny. Heave-ho, heave-ho, let's see who's stronger!"

Can a star god who has already taken control of one destiny become the messenger of another destiny?

No one can give a definitive answer, but Aha paints a terrifying picture of the future. If He truly is destined to engage in a tug-of-war with the other star gods, the surging tides that erode the shores of reality will undoubtedly be a catastrophe.

"My understanding of destiny is still at a very basic level, and I don't want to be branded by any star god in reality."

There is no point in reasoning with Ah, and joy cannot be persuaded by worldly theories.

"If you're really looking for some fun, my game of hide-and-seek with the Star Gods should serve as a temporary pastime."

"Is it?"

"Yes."

Hua Yi reached out and stopped in front of the mask of the Joyful Star God simulation body. The virtual memory path rippled, and he was trying to share some of his memories with Aha.

That real-life experience that happened on the space station, the [destruction] that Nanook looked down at, an experience he had avoided beforehand.

"...It really is! Hua Yi, you've really surprised me. I can't help but want to hug you. Look at that crazy guy's silly appearance, I bet Nanook is nearsighted, haha, He should wear glasses~"

"If I continue to use the power of [Destruction] and attract the Star God's attention again, can I still hide like this?"

"No way, Nanook is a madman, not an idiot. With similar situations happening twice in a row, He'll definitely start using his unused brain to think of the reasons, or at least do a little search—so simply erasing the traces of destruction on yourself isn't enough. You need to hide in another destiny. Is there a better choice than [Pleasure]? Come on, come on, join [Pleasure], let's give the universe that's about to catch fire a good 5.7!"

"Hidden in another destiny... If it really comes to that, I will find a way to temporarily hide my existence in a way that is different from stepping into a specific destiny and becoming a traveler, such as wrapping myself up in the face of destiny."

The headless Aha nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, wrap yourself in [Pleasure], and I guarantee you won't be taken away by the other Star Gods."

Then be bound to the real Aha?

Looking across the endless sea of ​​stars, there are probably few things more enjoyable than playing hide-and-seek with the star gods.

Pretending not to have noticed the trap that He hadn't deliberately concealed, Hua Yi greeted the virtual Aha who had answered his questions.

Thank you for providing the information.

The Star God of Joy returned the gift in the same serious manner.

"Thank you for sharing your fun."

Chapter 86 Silver Wolf Suffers a Crushing Defeat

A joyful Aha skipped and hopped away with light steps.

He did not unleash the power of destiny to cause the simulated universe to collapse again. He demonstrated the ability to access backend data, but did not deliberately sever Silver Wolf's remote connection, nor did he interfere with the Black Tower's covert observation.

At most, they would only push the Silver Wolf projection, which was less stable and relied on a backdoor program to a distance halfway through, while Black Tower and Star listened to Hua Yi's conversation with the Star God simulation throughout.

Xing didn't quite understand. Apart from knowing that during the battle with the Doomsday Beast, the Star God of Destruction Nanuk's gaze should have been directed at Hua Yi, the rest of the conversation sounded quite cheerful at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to have a deeper meaning.

She didn't want to dwell on it too much; as long as Hua Yi got the answer he wanted, that was enough.

Galaxy Batman will keep the secret!

By combining the data from the space station with Hua Yi's words, Black Tower almost reconstructed the whole story. He realized that this young man, who had extraordinary talent in the use of imaginary energy, had already played a game of hide-and-seek with [Destruction] Nanuk and had not been found by him. Moreover, he planned to carry out similar operations in the future.

The implications of this are enough to cause a stir throughout the world: there are indeed people in this world who do not want to be noticed by the Star Gods, and the Star Gods may indeed be vying for the same person.

In addition, Hua Yiming knew that he was still observing the simulated universe, yet he still talked so much with Aha. Besides hoping to get answers from the Star God simulation, he was obviously also helping him to understand the mysteries of the Star God.

He trusts me a lot.

Having figured out the implied meaning in the virtual Aha's words and the attitude conveyed by Hua Yi's performance, Black Tower breathed a sigh of relief. The annoyance provoked by Silver Wolf had unknowingly changed its flavor.

Within the simulated universe, the hacker girl couldn't hear the subsequent conversation, but she saw the Star God simulator excitedly running towards Hua Yi, and a scene of the god and the human chatting happily.

Even if it was the most mortal Aha, even if He was a virtual star god in a miniature universe, after personally experiencing his emotions being uncontrollably swayed by its joys and sorrows, Silver Wolf understood that the fake star god here definitely had a divine mapping with the real star god, and Aha's willingness to say so much to Hua Yi was enough to prove the latter's extraordinary nature.

Well, thankfully they didn't fight during the period of ignorance.

While it's true that facing high-difficulty challenges suddenly in the game universe can be quite exciting.

Once he realized that Hua Yi and Xing were heading this way, the emotionally charged Silver Wolf couldn't help but want to complain about the guys from the Genius Club, so he pretended to continue talking to thin air.

"Speaking of which, Black Tower is really narcissistic to have a portrait projection set up separately in the office. I was planning to add a mustache to her face, but it wouldn't even stick—it's ridiculous. The entire space station's electronic firewall is probably not as secure as her photo."

"To be fair, it's true. The Black Tower doesn't care much about the space station, leaving all the work to Estella, which is really exploiting the young girl's labor."

Hua Yi casually responded to Silver Wolf's sarcastic remark with an unchanging expression, as if the conversation with the Star God simulator was just a normal part of the testing process.

Considering that during his previous two visits to the simulated universe, he first witnessed the fiery light of Kripper wielding his giant hammer, and then heard Fuli murmuring long sentences, and that two star gods have already taken control of their destinies, it's not surprising that Aha is making his appearance now...

No wonder!

Silver Wolf was unaware of Hua Yi's previous experience testing the simulated universe. That data was personally encrypted by the Black Tower, and Miss Hacker was unable to crack it even a fraction of it in the short time she had infiltrated the space station.

Whether she knew it or not, she was about to break down completely, and Hua Yi noticed this as well.

"Calling Black Tower, how far away is the cartridge Silver Wolf mentioned?"

"It's just ahead, everything's taken care of."

This time, their communication was public. During their simulated universe journey, they experienced unimaginable changes. Silver Wolf, who was sometimes crying and sometimes laughing with Aha, was finally about to receive the reward he deserved.

She ran straight ahead.

Once a hacker obtains the Ether cartridge and uses it for Ether editing and bidirectional positioning, even if the simulated universe has a brilliant encryption firewall that isolates the inside from the outside, after several rounds of data attack and defense, and successfully exploits the vulnerability, the hacker can still send out the coveted artifact.

It's near, it's near!

A faint light flickered in the room ahead, the light belonging to the [Punk Lord spirit].

For the hackers of the cyber world of Punk Lord, life is just a game.

They roam cyberspace, rewriting reality with a technology called EtherEdit, turning life into a grand game. Occasionally, the most brilliant geniuses among geniuses are able to fly beyond planets, using the vast galaxy as a second stage outside the starting village.

The cartridge tells the story of a legendary hacker, beginning in the underground reservoir of Punk Lord and ending amidst the throngs of Sea Rangers. It is said that the funeral was quiet and silent, with only a game cartridge lying on the coffin, marking the end of a hacker's life.

It's sure to be an extremely exciting game.

"Ha, I won this virtual universe adventure!"

Holding the Ether cartridge in his hand, Silver Wolf breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with delight.

Xing looked completely bewildered.

"Are you manipulating the projection in real time?"

"Of course. I left a backdoor in the Black Tower's office so that you can remotely hack it when you enter the simulated universe, and then find the Ether cassette with your guidance. That's Silver Wolf Emperor's plan! Hua Yi's idea for the nickname is good. I'll create a new account when I get back, and the name will be Silver Wolf Emperor."

"You really need to find a way to register a new account."

The Black Tower puppet also entered the simulated universe, came to Hua Yi's side, stared at him for a moment, and then casually turned its gaze to the smug Silver Wolf.

"There are even simulated versions of star gods in the simulated universe, so why do you think the Ether cartridge is the real thing? To tell you the truth, it's just an empty shell."

"what?"

The girl quickly checked the cartridge in her hand and confirmed that the Black Tower was not bluffing; it was just a shell with no substance. She immediately gritted her teeth in anger.

"You went through all this trouble just to make me come all this way for nothing? Tsk, since it's come to this, let's just start a war and hand over the Punk Lord spirit! Otherwise, don't blame me for destroying the simulated universe."

"Stop bragging. I wonder who was the one who was chased away by Aha earlier."

"That's because I wasn't on guard!"

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you. Over this long period of time, I've located all 76 of your Interstellar Peace Network accounts. The passwords, security questions, and real-name information have all been transferred to Hua Yi. Any further changes to the information will result in the immediate deletion of all data."

Chapter 87 [Intelligence] is far more reliable than [Pleasure]

After Black Tower finished speaking, he immediately exited the simulated universe, not intending to say another word. Silver Wolf's expression and tone became noticeably panicked.

"What! Hey, wait a minute—"

The genius seized the hacker's fatal weakness, but the latter no longer had the energy to launch a data attack or defense, or seize the Ether cartridge, nor could he force himself to appear calm and composed to avoid revealing his flaws.

She quickly dispersed the projection and began checking her precious possessions.

The Ether cartridge represents someone else's gaming life, while Silver Wolf's online account is the culmination of her own hard work. If we really have to compare, of course the account is more important, without a doubt.

Seeing that the girl, who had been pretending to be a historical projection recording all along the way, had left in a hurry before saying a few words, Xing looked around with a baseball bat in hand.

"Do we need to continue testing? The 'empty pawns' seem to have been cleared."

"unnecessary."

With a casual flick of his wrist, Hua Yi had already reaped considerable rewards from this trip.

In the simulated universe, they attempted to invoke the powers of [memory] and [destruction], compared them with reality, and obtained some answers from the virtual Aha. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they exceeded expectations in achieving their goals.

"Let's end the test here. How do you feel? The simulation of the Pleasure Star God can directly affect the emotions of those around you. In addition, it's normal to become physically and mentally exhausted after blocking the charging tramplers head-on."

Xing thought that Hua Yi was asking about her feelings in order to further explain how the simulated universe was, and how amazing the members of the Genius Club were to create such a virtual world and cultivate Star God simulations.

It turned out to be just simple concern.

The girl scratched her head. Her pretty face, which could be quite dashing and even a little aloof if she just suppressed her expression, was now filled with a smile that showed no distance whatsoever.

"Hehe, I'm the Galaxy Bat Man, of course I have no problem with that~ Don't even mention the Trampler, even if you simulate a Doomsday Beast, I can test the power of Destruction and take it on one-on-one~"

"The two of us can take on one of the Doomsday Beasts?"

"Sure, a righteous brawl!"

Exiting the simulated universe, the Black Tower avatar, which had been waiting for a long time, glanced sideways at Xing, who was carrying a baseball bat on his shoulder and full of fighting spirit.

"If you feel it's not going well and want to smash something, I can simulate ten doomsday beasts for you to try fighting one-on-one."

"Oh? Then there's no need! It would be a shame to destroy the simulated universe."

"Any other questions?"

"No, no."

Seeing Xing agree, she pulled Hua Yi towards the office exit, while Hei Ta glared at her.

“Star Core brat, if you want to go out, go out by yourself. What’s the point of dragging Hua Yi along? I still have something to say to him, but I doubt you’d understand anyway. Go find the people on the Starry Sky Train. I think they’d be happy to chat with you.”

"Oh……"

Thinking that he could find an opportunity to check the fan group when he was alone to see if there were any new novels uploaded or chapters of old books updated, Xing immediately accepted the genius's suggestion and left excitedly.

Only the Black Tower Doll and Hua Yi remained in the office. The doll girl didn't keep them in suspense and got straight to the point.

"Although the Star God simulations correspond to the gods and destinies in reality, you don't need to worry about them exchanging information with the real Star Gods. The conditions simply don't allow it, at least not now. So if there are any attempts that cannot be easily made due to real-world factors, you can experiment in the simulated universe."

"I see."

"When you enter the simulated universe next time, are you prepared to retain the identity of the [Memory] Traveler?"
