Abyss Solo

The Faya person in the middle suddenly laughed.

Indeed, he directly expressed his obvious emotion.

He laughed:

"Yang Ming, White Ghost sir, I used to play the role of an old noble in the Sherman Empire, a privilege granted by my experimental project, allowing me to always appear within various regimes of human civilization in the Milky Way.

"I've heard you more than once deceiving the Sherman Empire's elites by saying this—You know, I bear the mission of the Pioneer, and now I just want to establish myself in the Empire to protect my homeland.

"Hahaha!

"Sorry, Yang Ming, but I think you surely aren't thinking of establishing yourself in our Faya Civilization and then turning against us, are you?"

"This!" Yang Ming pursed his lips, frowned, spread his hands, and shrugged, "That's the worst joke I've ever heard, Faya is a Level 5.5 civilization, I'm just... to put it bluntly, if you all agree to allow my home star to enter the Milky Way without a trial, then I..."

"Impossible."

The Faya person on the left immediately said:

"Every Pioneer has the same request as you, but it's absolutely impossible.

"The 'Faya Game' is a core component of the civilization sowing rule, which is one of our seven foundational rules.

"A foundational rule is a principle we will never violate; if a non-foundational rule contradicts a foundational rule, we must prioritize abiding by the seven foundational rules, as stipulated by the Three Primordial Agreements."

Yang Ming sighed: "Is this completely non-negotiable?"

"The probability of your home star passing is very low; I suggest you lower your expectations."

"No," Yang Ming's expression became somewhat serious, "We inadvertently triggered the space-time bubble! Isn't it too crude to use touching the space-time bubble as a criterion? The mechanism itself is problematic!"

The Faya person on the left said:

"No, this mechanism is sound; after touching the space-time bubble, our project's inspectors evaluated your planet, meeting the minimum standards for participating in the Faya Game project.

"The issues with your planet stem from a relatively primitive societal system and severely uneven resource distribution; every planet follows a similar process in its development journey.

"Moreover, you might have some misconceptions.

"We've constantly said Earth's competitiveness is too weak, considering comprehensively.

"First, your technological level has not yet reached the level of 'fully utilizing all energy on that planet'; hence, once integrating into the 'Abyss' space of the trial, accepting various information and technology is relatively slow.

"Second, your social development is relatively backward, unable to quickly form an effective planetary unified government. Establishing something similar to a planetary parliament would take you at least twenty years; despite Earth's large human population, their education level is severely uneven.

"Third, these two previous issues will severely restrict Earth civilization's performance in the 'Abyss,' where each trial has a unified deadline relying on rank by points for competition, and as you begin to attempt self-union, other greenhouse civilizations will inevitably interfere with you.

"We've already promised you one condition; other four pioneers' communications with their civilizations will be placed at the zero-point-five Galaxy Year mark before the start of this trial, but yours can be placed at the one-point-five Galaxy Year mark before the start.

"This is already the maximum assist given to you considering you've made outstanding contributions to our various projects.

"Yang Ming, you've done everything you can, no need to gild the lily."

Yang Ming remained silent.

The Faya person on the right sighed: "We know it's hard to accept, but it has to be accepted... Besides, Yang Ming, I can secretly tell you."

The Faya person in the middle and on the left both looked over.

"Just a little," the Faya person on the right muttered in Galaxy Language, "He's our warrior against the Insect Race, after reaching the high-dimensional world he needs to grow, train, and obtain true biological power; we should focus on his mental journey."

The other two Faya people nodded simultaneously.

The Faya person on the right said:

"Yang Ming, the high-dimensional world will overturn your understanding of the universe; looking at the universe now, it seems like a sphere enveloping you; in reality, when you step into the high-dimensional world, you'll be in the membrane of this sphere, witnessing countless spheres simultaneously rotating and interlinked, rendering time meaningless to you, requiring you to reinterpret information and matter.

"Your family lives inside one of these spheres.

"The sphere won't disappear; it will always exist, only with its internal information changing.

"When you establish enough merit, you can extract your family's information from the solidified sphere and relocate it to a safe corner of your choice."

Yang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.

"This is not a promise," said the Faya being on the right side, "This is just some things you can accomplish after dimensional ascension, of course, provided that you possess enough energy."

Yang Ming laughed: "Alright, buddy, you always find a way to make me admire you guys willingly. I suddenly start looking forward to ascension."

"Then," said the Faya being in the center, "Now, you just need to do the simplest thing, find Levi, and release the butterfly."

The Faya being on the left said: "You must do these things as soon as possible. We've completely given up on Pioneer No.5. We've arranged for Pioneer No.2 to carry out the assassination... Occasionally, we encounter particularly negative individuals, proving the diversity of primitive human genes."

Yang Ming pondered for a moment: "Still coming back to my initial question, when Levi dies, unlock Reason's bonds... How do the Faya people plan to deal with this third natural disaster?"

"This is a trial, a trial of the galactic human civilization."

"It's also a punishment, as the galactic human civilization has tolerated the Sherman Empire for tens of thousands of years without resolving it. The energy accumulated by the Empire exploding outward is also a form of energy cycle."

"From all the current event lines we see, this war is bound to break out, the difference is in how much loss; we will try to minimize human casualties in the middle to later stages of the war."

"When Levi dies, we will provide information to the top twenty polities in the Milky Way."

"If you can find a way to kill Reason, it's also considered a great help to the galactic human civilization. However, we won't ask you for such, this is the subject matter of other project teams, and you already have too many projects on your hands."

Yang Ming sighed: "I don't know how many humans will die because of this."

"Civilization won't disappear."

"Life forms are just a form of matter, their preciousness lies in life giving birth to thought."

"Do you have anything else to ask? Yang Ming?"

"Once I ascend dimensionally, am I supposed to just hug Po Suo?"

"Po Suo has already obtained the method of dimensional ascension, similar to when you fought against that queen being with that kind of merger, you need to unfold in the current dimension... you know what I mean."

Yang Ming leaned back: "Alright, I still can't escape becoming a tumor monster."

After speaking, he waved his hand to a few people with a smile, and closed his eyes.

The light in the dormitory returned to normal.

Yang Ming sighed lightly, stretched out his left hand, and a butterfly appeared in the palm of his hand.

In the space just occupied by Yang Ming, three fragments of Faya thought were exchanging information.

If their conversation were translated into Galaxy Language, it would roughly be:

"Did we tell Pioneer No.1 too much information?"

"He's very different from Levi, he's a very good individual, his thoughts lean towards collectivism, and his underlying thinking is similar to ours."

"Levi is just a blind and ignorant human individual, Yang Ming is not, Po Suo also really likes Yang Ming."

"You've poured too much emotion into Po Suo, the main thought is almost being influenced by you."

"Oh, buddy, haven't you experienced how cute Po Suo is? Especially when she truly unfolds herself, it's simply a miniature of the ultimate life form, she'll surely become the strongest warrior against insects we've cultivated."

"Prepare to notify various polities."

"Do we really have to notify? I have the energy metrics here, requiring approximately sixty-two billion humans' energy, Reason's retaliation will at least meet the metric requirements."

"Do other panels have energy metrics? Recently, isn't the Space Worm Clan's offensive too strong?"

"We just need to take care of our own projects, no need to worry too much about these. Since we just told Yang Ming we would notify the various polities, then we must do it, otherwise we lied. The lying thought fragments will be sent back for reintegration."

"Sigh, Reason this Mechanical Thought Body itself is quite good, she has great potential, it's entirely possible for her to be assimilated into our clan, what a pity."

"What a pity."

"What a pity."

...

In the dormitory, the butterfly imprint in Boss Yang's palm flickered faintly.

He slowly stood up, turned around, and walked out of the dormitory.
