Main God Creation Rules

Page 191

------------segmentation------------

Given the current capabilities of the main god, it is not enough to modify the laws and constants involved in "magical technology". The only thing Lin Yi has done is to make the "magical device" created with magical technology as its core evolve... Yes, not degenerate, but evolve.

Like those automatons, they have evolved from simple "mechanical intelligence" to "human-like intelligence" with independent consciousness, cognitive emotions, and self-judgment logic.

In the God Space, it took the automatons over twenty years to complete this process, not even counting Lin Yi's intentional guidance and crisis elimination. Even so, when faced with high-intensity warfare, the automatons still exhibited resistance and rejection to some extent, and had to end the war at a faster pace than expected.

And what about the Time and Space Administration?

—It took them more than twenty days.

Unaware of the dangers, the mages used magical devices that had absorbed pheromones emanating from the automatons (ships) to engage in high-intensity battles with the warships, transforming them from purely mechanical intelligence into humanoid intelligence. The repeated overload and damage were insignificant to a mere "weapon," since the essential purpose of a "weapon" is to be consumed. However, when a "weapon" is no longer limited to the concept of a "weapon" but begins to transform into a concept similar to that of a human, this seemingly natural action becomes the fuse for destruction.

Imagine if one day you discovered that you were actually a disposable "weapon," destined to be destroyed after your wielder used up the last bit of energy, and that you couldn't even have anything of your own. What would you do?

The "weapons" within the Ring-Index Galaxy provided the most direct answer.

According to incomplete statistics from the General Administration, less than 3% of the personnel actually died at the hands of the enemy in this war. Almost all the fallen mages died due to malfunctions caused by errors in the intelligent programming logic of their magical devices. Even more so, most of the space-time warships that relied on intelligent programs for assistance were also infected by this "infection," and at the last moment, they locked down the command permissions of all crew members on board, crashing the entire warship, carrying thousands of people, into the surface of the planet...

Lin Yi was not surprised by these new humanoid intelligence choices.

"If there is no hope on this path, then self-destruction is also a way to solve the problem."

Compared to Lin Yi, who had already realized the existence of "intelligent conservation" and given the automaton more choices and space, the magical weapons that had just developed consciousness had far too little time and choice. So little that they had to seek a final release in this way of mutual destruction, rather than continue to be consumed as emotionless "weapons" as before.

It is foreseeable that the Time and Space Administration will not easily set foot in this world until a way to effectively resolve this "anomaly" is found. Even contact with Lin Yi, this "unknown person A," will be rejected. After all, what he did in this war was not to destroy the Administration's fleet with overwhelming force or kill many mages—for an organization with a complete structure, these things can be rebuilt no matter how many are sacrificed.

What Lin Yi did was merely to make a slight cut at the root of their most proficient and relied-upon "magic system"...

For the Ringing Galaxy and even this war, it was a victory for the Spacetime Administration Bureau, which relied on countless resources spanning hundreds of worlds and possessed a size so vast it was almost inflated; for this entire world and for Lin Yi, it was a victory for the Main God Space, which possessed a single "intelligent conservation" rule.

P.S.: I was busy with social engagements during the day, so the update was a bit late. Sorry.

Time and Space Administration: Chapter 489 The Price

While the entire Black Iron Clan was in a panic over the Time and Space Administration's unexplained retreat, Venus was surprised to find that she didn't have much of a reaction... Rather than feeling anxious about the future, she felt more joy at the Time and Space Administration being forced to leave.

Clearly, this is not the mindset of a qualified leader.

Everyone understands the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. When the Space-Time Administration left, the Black Iron Clan, who had always stood behind it, was naturally not going to escape when facing the Administration's enemy—the Platinum Clan. Even so, Venus still couldn't control his emotions.

"The stars cannot see your destiny."

Earth.

Looking up at the fleets disappearing one after another from the horizon, Vinos finally couldn't help but smile: "But I saw it."

It's almost like...

"A defeated, homeless dog?"

"—!"

The sudden sound from behind made the Black Iron Clan princess tense up. After a moment of silence, she slowly turned around and saw a figure completely covered in a black robe.

Composing himself, despite knowing that his chances of survival were slim, Venus remained mindful of his identity, except when facing the Time and Space Administration, which constantly pressured him about his stance: "Are you the guide of the Platinum Clan?"

"You can think so."

Lin Yi, also focusing his gaze on the space-time fleet that was constantly leaping into another world in the sky, had no intention of interfering.

Originally, he set foot in this world to shake off the "tail" behind him. Since the other party made a wise choice, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't continue to cause trouble... Of course, it would be different if he and the God Space were in a perfect state. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as other fragments, absorbing a world-traveling organization with such a large total volume would still increase the God Space's reserves considerably.

Venus's superpower wasn't "mind reading," so she couldn't glean anything from Lin Yi's actions. She could only proceed with the conversation according to her pre-planned response: "My name is Dianeira I. Leisha Arteria Oru Venus, the princess of the Black Iron Clan, representing the Black Iron Clan in this conversation with you."

He paused slightly, and after noticing that Lin Yi didn't seem inclined to respond, continued, "As the defeated party, we have no right to make requests, but we hope you can see one thing clearly before making your decision."

"It was the 'Time and Space Administration' that failed, not the Black Iron Clan."

His gaze shifted back to the girl in front of him: "A threat?"

Meeting that gaze, Venus felt a tremor in his heart: "No, this is just my personal whim."

"Being willful comes at a price."

"...I am prepared for this."

Lin Yi was indeed somewhat surprised. After all, judging from the human fleet commander he had met before, he thought that the ruling class of this world was a group of similar people. He did not expect that there were still some who could step forward and take responsibility in times of crisis.

"continue."

Talking to "smart" people is indeed much easier. After briefly confirming a few rules, Lin Yi left with the entire database of the Black Iron Clan.

What followed was no surprise.

After the Time and Space Administration became a mere shell, Princess Venus, who returned to power with the support of the royalists, immediately declared it an illegal entity. She then proceeded to clean up the institutions left behind by the Administration while continuously reducing the number of planets controlled by the Black Iron Clan.

Naturally, such behavior greatly affected the interests of a large number of people. As time went on, the attitude of those whose interests were infringed gradually hardened, and at the most extreme point, some even launched an attack on Princess Venus's palace.

Realizing that this situation couldn't continue indefinitely, Princess Venus suddenly invited most of the upper-class nobles and bureaucrats of the Dark Iron Clan to discuss the future of the Dark Iron Clan aboard the Argonus, a warship she had found as a "heroic race belonging to humanity." However, after this warship, carrying the vast majority of the Dark Iron Clan's decision-making body, departed from the Earth's surface, it never returned...

Watching the Argonne turn into a "firework" in space, Lin Yi turned and left.

“Being willful always comes at a price.”

Trading the future of a group of people for the future of the entire world—perhaps that's the most "worthwhile" deal? Even if only one person in that group truly accepts it.

Almost at the same time that Lin Yi dealt with the matters concerning the Black Iron Clan, a "pledge of allegiance" from the Silver Clan was also delivered to Lin Yi.

"News from the Golden Clan?"

Yes, we are the race closest to the Golden Race. We have absorbed much of the knowledge they left behind before they left this universe, and we can provide it all to you if you need it.

There was no individual Silver Clan member inside the teardrop-shaped spacecraft, yet it could also be said that all Silver Clan members were inside. What it carried was not matter, but consciousness.

But more than that, we believe you want news about the Golden Clan.

Instead of answering, Lin Yi changed the subject: "If I'm not mistaken, the Time and Space Administration also made a similar request to you?"

Yes, but we did not agree.

"Of course, after all, you have already provided three Heroes as support combat forces."

The Platinum Clan's consciousness fell silent for a long time.

We can enter into a similar agreement if needed.

Lin Yi was speechless upon hearing this: "Of course I need it."

[The contract terms were drafted by both parties, and our requirements are—]

"But contracts are different."

Ahead, a tiny "hole" the size of a grain of rice suddenly appeared inside the teardrop-shaped aircraft. In an instant, a force surpassing all matter tore apart and devoured this aircraft, whose strength far exceeded that of a diamond.

Looking at the black hole gradually healing under the world's corrective force, Lin Yi shook his head: "You want to eat the one above and then eat the one below? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

After all, times have changed.

On the one hand, the biggest concern is that the Time and Space Administration has already taken a stand, so Lin Yi doesn't need to worry about information leaks and can act with restraint. On the other hand...

Time and Space Administration: Chapter 490 The Golden Clan

In this world of "Heroic Era," there is a strange phenomenon.

It is clearly the origin of everything, yet descriptions and records about it are pitifully scarce. Even after searching through all the records of the Black Iron Clan and the Silver Clan, what remains are "legends" of unknown veracity, and the information that can be extracted from these "legends" is extremely limited.

The Golden Clan.

They are the creators of the universe and the world.

They were covered in gold, hence the name "Golden Clan".

They issued a call to all races in the universe, and the Silver Race, Bronze Race, Hero Race, and Iron Race responded to the call.

They punished the Heroes for the war they waged.

Unlike the Silver Clan and the Bronze Clan, they, like the Iron Clan, value their home planet.

Their home planet is "Elyusio".

"Eliusio?"

Searching through the star map plundered from the Silver Clan, Lin Yi was certain that there were no planets with similar names. Moreover, in order to avoid conflict with the creator of this universe, almost all races deliberately overlapped with similar falsetto sounds when naming their planets.

Invalid information.

Having abandoned the pursuit of "Eliusio," Lin Yi turned his attention to the remaining clues.

They are the creators of the universe and the world.

Creating a world is neither easy nor difficult; it depends entirely on the scale.

If the condition is simply a closed space with a world barrier, Lin Yi can complete it with one hand. However, if the condition is something like "Heroic Era" with a "whole universe" concept and countless ecosystems and civilizations, Lin Yi believes that he cannot do it now.

In other words.

"If this information is true, then these so-called 'Golden Clan' are at least in the LV4.5 evolutionary stage, similar to the 'World Tree' level individuals."

The third clue.

—They are covered in gold, so they are called the Golden Clan.

"Silicon-based life forms similar to the AllSpark?"

The information describing their appearance is too incomplete. Perhaps they have become golden all over due to some kind of mutation. They may still be carbon-based in essence. Or they may be wearing a golden protective shield, which is why they look golden. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they are covered in gold.

"It seems they don't dislike gold."

The fourth clue.

They issued a call to all races in the universe, and the Silver Race, Bronze Race, Hero Race, and Iron Race responded to the call.

This message seems simple: a group of highly evolved life forms call out to other life forms, and then the other life forms respond. However, it may actually contain the most information.

Possibility 1: The Golden Clan is calling for other life forms for some purpose.

Lin Yi's exploration in this regard has not yielded much success. He has studied the Silver Clan, the Bronze Clan, the Iron Clan, and even the nearly extinct Hero Clan extensively, but he still has not been able to find any traces left by the Hero Clan on them, so the possibility of manipulation is not high.

Possibility Two: The Golden Race summons other life forms to meet certain conditions.

This speculation stems entirely from the highly relatable naming conventions of these races: gold, silver, bronze, iron... a progressive structure resembling the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Perhaps certain things can only occur when the entire structure is fulfilled, which is why they call upon other races as part of the chain.

To confirm this possibility, Lin Yi even created a "Platinum Clan" out of thin air in this world, but it seems to have no effect now. Perhaps the conditions are not met, or perhaps there is an error in some part of the process.

Possibility 3: They have nothing better to do.

There's not much to say. These kinds of random probability matters are not within the scope of Lin Yi and the Main God's expertise, so thinking about them too much is pointless.

The fifth clue.

—They punished the Heroes for the war they waged.

The native life forms of this world have their own interpretation of this clue: because the civil war among the Heroes threatened the universe, the Golden Race was forced to punish the Heroes, forcing them to exist by merging with other weaker races. This would both restrain the power of the Heroes and teach them to have emotions so they would no longer destroy the universe.

Lin Yi's interpretation of this is: Nonsense.

Regardless of whether the vast universe would be destroyed because of a few individuals who haven't even reached the LV1 evolutionary stage, if such a crisis were to occur, wouldn't it be better to simply pull them to another world? With the power of the Golden Race starting at LV4.5, they would have plenty of ways to do so.

Moreover, can this highly targeted "punishment" really be called punishment?

Even if the remaining five members of the Hero Clan merge with other weaker races and truly learn to have emotions and stop destroying the universe, what can a mere five individuals possibly do?

Let's build a harmonious home together.

A more logical conclusion is that the Golden Clan, for some reason, stood by and watched the Hero Clan's civil war, or even that the civil war was likely instigated by them (otherwise, it would be inexplicable why the Hero Clan hadn't been wiped out after going mad for so long, but instead waited for the Golden Clan to intervene before the civil war escalated to the point of near extinction). They then intervened when only a handful of Hero Clan members remained, using the pretext of "protecting the universe" and "maintaining biodiversity" to persecute them and force them to merge with weaker races.
