Chapter 331 A Glimpse of Balance
Chapter 331 A Glimpse of Balance
As the sound of Screw Gum faded, the universe suddenly went dark.
The simulated universe is loading.
While the loading was in progress, Eve suddenly said, "Screwgoom, the king of Screwgoom."
"Are there inorganic life forms you don't understand?"
The king of the planet Screw, and also a member of the Genius Club.
Screw Aunt can be considered the leader of the inorganic life world.
“Of course,” Screwgoom answered Eve’s question.
"The Interstellar Peace Corporation was on guard against inorganic life due to the two Imperial Wars, and I have been dedicated to maintaining the bridge between machines and humans until today."
“Life is so subtle…” Eve mused.
“Eve, no one is unaware of the great achievements of the screws,” Black Tower said.
"While the simulated universe is loading, I also want to tell you some things that aren't in my database."
"Hmm? Your database?" Eve's gaze drifted to the side.
"Don't play dumb! I know you stole my database the moment we started talking!" Black Tower said angrily.
“It seems your system is quite something; I thought you hadn’t discovered it,” Eve admitted.
"Hmph, if I couldn't find this out, then I, Black Tower, wouldn't be Black Tower," Black Tower said proudly.
"But I stole it anyway?" Eve smiled slightly, her sarcasm palpable.
“You…” Black Tower was speechless.
"Don't worry, I've always cited the source when I quoted anything," Eve reassured her.
“You…” Black Tower was even angrier.
Ruan Mei covered her mouth and smiled, "This is the first time I've seen someone force the Black Tower into this state."
“It seems that this new academic partner should be able to bring us a new research result,” Screws agreed.
"Alright, we'll talk about the database later," Black Tower said, calming down.
“I must remind you that, unlike Lan and Taiziyuros before, every genius here has met with the Venerable Master, so we know…”
Before Heita could finish speaking, Ruan Mei interjected, "We know this trip will be very difficult."
“Because every step we take will fall into His calculations.” Ruan Mei’s tone was icy, and there was no hint of joking in her voice.
"Does that include us outsiders?" Eve asked.
“Of course.” Screw Gum nodded.
"However, there are also variables," came the voice from Black Tower.
“The Venerable Master identified three irreversible moments, which also represent three key turning points in the universe.”
"Compared to this certainty, there is another star god who prefers uncertainty even more."
"He is the mysterious star god [myth]."
"Therefore, we must be very careful with this simulated universe, otherwise it is very possible that your existence will become the fictional history that He speaks of without you even realizing it."
The Black Tower tells the truth.
Distorting the truth and fabricating history—that's exactly what myths do.
To some extent, myth and erudition are opposites.
They represent uncertainty and certainty.
"Alright, let's begin."
The Black Tower gazed into the distance.
The next second, a flash of white light appeared.
A barren planet on the edge of the universe appeared before them.
At this moment, we are at the first of the three irreversible moments calculated by the Venerable Master Boshi.
On the eve of the border trade war.
After the locust plague ended, Louis and Dongfang Qixing reorganized the rescue team that was originally used to transport building materials to the Amber King and established the Interstellar Peace Company.
The newly established Interstellar Peace Company does not yet have a seven-member board of directors or seven departments; it only has the initial three departments: the Propaganda Department, the Loading and Unloading Department, and the Technology Department.
The leaders of these three departments are Traura Faenza, Kolapau, and Dewey.
The company is in its initial stages and is undergoing restructuring. Internal forces are surging, each seeking a new direction for development.
Finally, the loading and unloading department's Kolapau approached the Academy of Insight and secured a project that could change the course of the universe: the synesthetic beacon.
Thanks to the development and promotion of synesthetic beacons, various problems caused by language barriers during interstellar trade have been directly solved.
Relying on the synesthetic beacon, the credit point system established by the company has also been rapidly expanded, directly bringing unimaginable profits and influence to Interstellar Peace Company.
From then on, wealth throughout the universe flowed rapidly toward the company, quickly achieving a monopoly in countless star systems. Many planetary leaders became political puppets of the company, and the gap between the rich and poor in the universe was widening at the speed of light.
At that moment, the balance of the universe was broken.
A star god cast his gaze upon the farthest planet on the border.
And this planet is the very planet standing before these geniuses.
"Is this what border trade wars are like?" Eve asked.
“That’s right, the scales have tipped, and every living being knows that wealth and poverty are no longer balanced.”
As the Black Tower's voice faded, a gaze swept down.
The location was that barren little planet.
The owner of that gaze was none other than the Balance Star God [Mutual].
The global locust plague has just ended, and the universe was originally on the right track under the watchful eyes of [mutual] forces.
But the actions of the Interstellar Peace Corporation have once again plunged the universe into imbalance.
Therefore, [mutual] made a move.
With a glance, the fuse was lit, and a trade war broke out on the most remote and barren planet.
In a world mired in a credit points quagmire, everyone has begun to fight for "wealth".
Geniuses truly observe all of this.
In their eyes, the entire universe seemed to be on double speed, and the war was rapidly evolving according to the original plan.
After casting his gaze, [Mutual] did not leave, but instead turned his attention to the geniuses on the fringes.
Black Tower frowned immediately, sensing an ominous atmosphere.
What is Mutual supposed to do? Does our existence in the simulated universe also violate His balance?
Black Tower immediately wanted to lead everyone to retreat, and even prepared to leave the simulated universe.
She never expected that she would run into trouble here on [mutual].
I originally thought that at least through the struggle between the learned and the deluded, they would force them to log out.
I didn't expect the attack to come so early.
Just as Black Tower was about to lead everyone to retreat, Eve did not move, but remained still in place.
Just as Black Tower was about to shout, the background behind Eve suddenly transformed into a blurry black and white world, echoing the balance of [Mutual].
"What? How is this possible?" Black Tower's eyes widened in disbelief.
The power of balance?
How could Eve possibly still possess balanced power?
Moreover, this power was not at the level of an Envoy, because she could sense the authority of [Balance] emanating from it.
In other words, Eve is the throne of balance!
Moreover, unlike ordinary thrones, it is the supreme throne, because Eve has truly obtained the authority of [balance].
After arriving at the conclusions drawn from the deduction, Black Tower was completely stunned.
Eve is now not only the messenger of multiple destinies, but also the supreme throne of [Life] and [Balance].
Even if that fourth seat holder comes, he'll probably be in trouble.
