Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1241 Exploiting loopholes

"Then, can you tell me what the company's original purpose was?"

Ye Ge stared at the big screen and asked.

"..."

The Heavenly Dao System AI remained silent for a few seconds. For some reason, those few seconds of silence gave Ye Ge the illusion that it possessed independent thought and was carefully weighing how to answer.

Then, the mechanical AI voice finally rang out again.

The Heavenly Dao System AI: "Exploring the limits of life and genes, so that life and the world can continue to evolve to higher dimensions, and so that higher-dimensional civilizations can emerge on Earth."

Night Song pondered: "Evolve to a higher dimension?"

The Heavenly Dao System AI: "Life evolves through competition, and also perishes through competition. This process of competition will gradually eliminate weaker races, and will also continuously produce races with the potential to evolve into higher-dimensional civilizations."

"However, for the gods who sit high on their thrones, they would never allow any life form with greater evolutionary potential to emerge on Earth that might threaten their dominance."

"When a race or individual becomes too powerful, all the resources of Earth will be monopolized by them without restraint. The King of Gods, Emperor Guangdi Yeqiong, alone occupied the vast majority of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and monopolized almost all the laws of the world."

"Once the extraordinary world loses its balance, it will stagnate. This not only hinders the birth of great extraordinary life forms, but also stifles the possibility of the entire world continuing to evolve."

"..."

Ye Ge was somewhat confused, looking a little bewildered: "Make the world continue to evolve?...The world itself can evolve?"

Heavenly Dao System AI: "Of course."

"Under normal circumstances, the natural development process of the extraordinary world is as follows:"

"The world gives birth to spiritual energy → spiritual energy nourishes extraordinary life → life evolves to a higher dimension → higher-dimensional life feeds back into the world, creating new spiritual energy and driving the world to continue to evolve → and so on."

"Just like the 'Demon Realm' you possess, it is a brand new high-dimensional world created with the Demon Realm Tree as its foundation, and it has given birth to powerful demons that do not exist in the mortal world."

"The energy generated by these demons throughout their entire life cycle, from birth to growth, maturity, and death, will become nourishment for the Demon Tree, helping it expand its territory and continuously evolve to higher dimensions. As a result, your Demon Realm will continue to expand, and your Demon Tree will continue to evolve upwards."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ge's eyes suddenly darkened: "You know about my Demon Realm?"

The voice of the Heavenly Dao System AI was mechanical and flat: "Player Night Song, as a 'descendant' summoned to this world, the system you are bound to is connected to my main control network, so I naturally know all your real information."

"..."

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes to slits: "So you knew I was Ye Ge, then why did you just call me 'Star Dragon'?"

The Heavenly Dao System AI says: "Your visit here as 'Star Dragon' indicates that you do not wish to reveal your true identity upon arriving at the company."

"Essentially, all the information you have in this world can be seen as a data stream to me, just a bunch of data."

"But you don't need to be nervous or on guard. After all, I am just an AI agent. I don't have the emotions, thoughts, or stances of you living beings, and I have no intention of scheming. I am just a program, an absolutely neutral program."

"..."

Night Song remained silent, thinking to herself: 'Without the emotions and calculations of living beings...'

'Really? ......'

Ye Ge pondered for a moment and said, "So, no matter how much I scold you, you won't get angry?"

The Heavenly Dao System AI: "...Yes, but I don't recommend you do that. It's incredibly pointless to be cursing at an emotionless intelligent entity."

"..."

Ye Ge crossed his arms and remained silent for a while before saying, "Go on."

The Heavenly Dao System AI continued, "Since the gods ruled over all races, the world has not evolved anymore. The power of the gods has become unbalanced, and their expanding ambitions drive them to compete with the 'world' itself for the nutrients for evolution."

"To enable life and this extraordinary world to overcome the obstacle of the gods and continue to evolve—that is the purpose of the company's founding."

Ye Ge said, "So, the company's goal can also be said to be to eliminate the gods?"

The Heavenly Dao System AI says: "It can also be said that it is to create a race that can rival the gods. As long as the gods cannot monopolize the spiritual energy and laws of this world, the world will gradually return to balance and slowly regain the ability to continue to evolve upwards."

"That's why the company's system issues those missions to collect the genes and souls of ancient holy spirits." Ye Ge paused, staring at the robot on the screen: "You want to resurrect those ancient holy spirits who could contend with the gods."

"You could say that."

"So it was you who summoned us 'players' to this world in the first place?"

"I'm sorry, my consciousness cannot answer this question. There is no information about this in my access database. If this is the second question you have asked me, I cannot answer it either."

"..."

Ye Ge fell into deep thought.

Although...

The gods have ruled over all races for hundreds of millions of years. Although they have always held hegemony and stood above all races, the Temple of Gods forcibly collects large amounts of sacrifices and offerings from all races every year. Their exploitation of all races is no less than that of the feudal dynasties of ancient Earth...

However, there is no doubt that once the restraint of the gods is lost, and once the gods fall, the entire map of all races will undoubtedly fall into great chaos.

Now, both genetic companies and the Yin Cult are driving this war.

Although it's supposedly to restore the balance of power in this extraordinary world...

But the dust of the times, when it falls on any tiny living being, is a devastating apocalypse.

Ye Ge closed his eyes and pondered.

Just as predicted on the Heavenly Prophecy Stone Tablet... the Eighth War of All Races is still inevitable...

The Heavenly Dao System AI: "I have answered your first question. Do you have any other questions?"

"Other questions..." Ye Ge stroked his chin: "Then I'd like to know, what is our company's chairman, Sima Qing, doing right now? Is he preparing any plans recently? Can you answer that?"

The Heavenly Dao System AI: "...I can't answer that either."

"Why?" Yege asked seriously, "This should be within your authority, right? You said it yourself, we Descendants are just a bunch of data to you, so you must know."

The Heavenly Dao System: "This is within my authority, but as a neutral and impartial intelligent system, I cannot assist you in spying on other players' privacy. This is cheating behavior intended to find game bugs."

Ye Ge's eyes darted around, and she changed her approach.

Based on past life experiences...

When you ask an AI some sensitive questions that it can't answer, try asking it from a different angle; it might work.

"So, can you answer any questions about the company?" Ye Ge asked.

Heavenly Dao System AI: "Yes."

"Then let me ask you," Ye Ge paused, "have the company's AI researchers been secretly working on some major scientific research project recently?"
