"Wait a minute, the Space Airship - Lime, what exactly are you referring to?" Xue Dili hurriedly interrupted the incessantly trembling brain. Are all artificial intelligences created by biological technology so abstract?
"As time has passed, your knowledge must have been severed. What lies beneath us is not a planet but a ring-shaped mothership with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers," the artificial intelligence answered Xue Dili's question.
At this moment, both Xue Dili and Old Green were stunned.
Hell Star, is a mothership?
A mothership half the size of Australia?
After the initial shock, Xue Dili immediately understood everything. No wonder the wide-angle distortion was visible to the naked eye, no wonder the sun seemed fake, no wonder using magic on this "planet" consumed several times more energy.
It turns out they weren't standing on a real planet at all but inside a drifting Space Airship floating in the cosmos!
And the target of this Space Airship is the Solar System. Clearly, they are the ones intending to invade Earth!
A naturally evil civilization whose destination is Earth! Watch me, Xue Dili, just personally...
Wait, drifting for tens of thousands of years?
This person just said the Space Airship will take over 30,000 years to drift to the Solar System, and their home planet is tens of thousands of light-years away from Earth as well.
Which means, the Earth they saw could be from nearly a hundred thousand years ago, when apes were likely just emerging, mammoths and saber-tooth tigers roamed everywhere.
They don't even consider this an invasion because at that time Earth truly had no form of civilization, even the most primitive tribes may have only just formed.
But now, nearly 100,000 years later, the Earth has become a melting pot of various civilizations, yet this Lime is still drifting somewhere in the cosmos.
No signals, no rescue, and within the Space Airship, life is like Hell.
"And you all, when you say 'It', what exactly are you talking about?" Xue Dili asked.
"Evil Eye, a meteorite that landed on Tita Star, a biological meteorite with endless energy. It was initially thought to be the savior of our civilization. Using the Evil Eye as a base, a great many technological advances were made, achieving leapfrog development."
"That thing was supposed to allow us to fulfill our desire for genetic ascension and save the Tita race. For this, our predecessors placed this last hope on the Space Airship, using it as an eternal energy source."
"But no one expected the Evil Eye to be alive. Only 200 years after setting out, the Evil Eye completely went berserk and began devouring the entire Space Airship!"
The brain began to frantically squirm, the cortex twitching incessantly.
As expected, bio-side artificial intelligence is unreliable, displaying normal emotional responses.
Even displaying a lot of interjections, clearly it is very angry.
However, at this moment, Xue Dili suddenly felt countless dense stares fixed on him, instantly sending a chill down his spine.
A familiar feeling, like when he first came to this world and felt he was being watched by billions of eyes. He initially thought it was the work of those dense, monstrous forms.
"No, damn it, how can the Evil Eye detect me!" This artificial intelligence seemed utterly panicked, beginning to hyperventilate uncontrollably.
Its demeanor changed in an instant.
And Xue Dili took two steps out of the room. Raising his head, he saw that the "sun" in that direction had lost its light, its edges distorting, as if being warped by an invisible force, gradually losing its original form.
Then, a crack appeared, and a terrifying pupil fixedly stared at Xue Dili. In this moment, Xue Dili felt a chill down his spine, as the sun completely transformed into a giant eyeball, fixing its vacant gaze upon the earth, as though it wanted to consume all life.
The sky was deathly silent, without the sound of water or wind, only the suffocating stare of that gigantic eyeball.
Xue Dili was stunned on the spot, Tier Five? Or Tier Six?
He didn't know, his strength couldn't sense that thing at all. It seemed like a true "God", even from an unknown distance, just that gaze made Xue Dili feel his soul start to tremble.
He suddenly realized that this eye actually noticed him the moment he arrived in this world but didn't pay attention to him, letting him move freely until the moment he interacted with the "artificial intelligence" it fully opened.
He had just exposed the longstanding artificial intelligence!
On the ground, people were terrified, raising their heads to the horrific eye in the sky. They knelt, mouths open, unable to make a sound, children crying, adults opening their mouths in despair, but to no avail.
The village head Green was terrified as he looked in the direction of his own home. In this situation, he could only think of...
"We've been discovered! Why now?" He clutched the dirt on the ground tightly, fear and despair etched on his face.
Xue Dili: "..."
Did he arrive at Stone Village?
He immediately headed to the basement, grabbing the artificial intelligence.
"Old man! Take care of him for me, he's still useful. Don't let him fry his own brain!" Xue Dili immediately said.
As he felt the prying gaze of the multitude seemingly about to completely assimilate him, Xue Dili snapped his fingers sharply.
In the next moment, the twisted eyeball in the sky vanished, the Hell-like scenery disappeared.
They found themselves in a room filled with thorns and the fragrance of flowers. Xue Dili gasped continuously; in just a few seconds, he felt as if his soul was about to be sucked away by that terrifying eyeball.
"This is..." said the artificial intelligence, having been brought into the Consciousness Space, in confusion.
Xue Dili really had no time at that moment; it was Old Green who instantly caught the vessel containing the brain, and fearing a concussion, set up several Magic Arrays the moment he caught it.
"The Fairy Tale World, Silver City." Xue Dili immediately said.
The artificial intelligence was taken aback, then it seemed to completely lose its composure and started crying bitterly.
"It's over, everything is over. My plans crafted over tens of thousands of years, the strategy I devised to prevent the entire world from being assimilated by the Evil Eye, are ruined. We are completely done for. This is a world created by the Evil Eye, and here, we are entirely under His control, only waiting to die!"
It seemed to cry out in utter collapse, and Xue Dili could even hear a cry reminiscent of a young boy.
"Don't worry, the situation might not be as dire as you imagine." Xue Dili immediately comforted.
"You know nothing at all! All the technology of our civilization was developed based on the original 'Evil Eye' research. Throughout our countless years of research, the Evil Eye never showed any signs of awakening or turmoil. Can you imagine? Tens of thousands of years without any problems!"
"But the Space Airship used the Evil Eye as the last source of fuel for only 200 years, and He erupted and took control of the entire Space Airship! It's actually alive and intelligent, able to think and calculate, capturing our last spark in one fell swoop!"
"It's over, everything is too late. The Evil Eye is here; that planet α-156 is finished as well. As soon as the Evil Eye lands on it, it will surely swiftly assimilate the planet into a sphere of flesh and blood, turning all life into His farmed and assimilated minions."
Xue Dili couldn't listen any longer. Although he did think the eyeball was strong, it wasn't to such a hopeless extent; he felt he could still take action.
And besides, stop calling the planet α-156 and call it the Solar System!
"Tell me everything about your civilization, and I'll see what the situation is." Xue Dili hid in the Silver City and saw the Silver King, who looked exactly like Old Green.
"No, it doesn't matter anymore. The Evil Eye has awakened; we are finished. The Tita Human Race is also finished. The Evil Eye has almost assimilated the entire Space Airship; we have nowhere to escape. The last piece of territory has fallen; it's all over." The artificial intelligence, resembling a complaining Xue Lin, incessantly grumbled.
It was like a devoted follower of the Evil Eye, continually extolling how terrifying and hopeless the Evil Eye was.
Yet it was Old Green who first couldn't stand it. He directly reached into the vessel and gave it a large slap.
"Stop pitying yourself; it's not yet the worst-case scenario." Old Green immediately interrupted this artificial intelligence's complaints.
Now they were all in the same boat. Old Green's home was here, and the lifetime goal of the artificial intelligence was to lead the remaining Tita Human Race to thrive.
Yet the unlucky Space Airship's destination was Earth. Originally, Xue Dili held the perspective of saving who he could, but knowing that this thing was to land on Earth, he now only thought about how to swiftly deal with the Evil God.
Shall the Shaking Celestial Thunder fire a shot?
Xue Dili considered it unlikely. From what he just perceived, the Evil Eye was clearly above Tier Five; he thought at least a few rounds from the Celestial Thunder were necessary to be effective.
Not necessarily. His goal was only to prevent this thing from landing on Earth, to fire a shot that would shift it off its original course.
This was the best method.
Countless plans flashed through Xue Dili's mind in an instant; within this short timeframe, his and Old Green's CPUs had already begun to rotate without pause.
And as for this artificial intelligence's goal, it seemed only to want to hold out, to linger until they reached Earth, and then?
Take the opportunity to run away with the few remaining people while the Evil Eye assimilates Earth? Divert the disaster?
"What is the Evil Eye's purpose?" Xue Dili continued to ask.
"Purpose? He has no purpose, just the instinct to draw everything into His dream, within which everything operates entirely under His control."
"So it's a lawful alignment?" Xue Dili asked, encountering for the first time such a kind 'Evil God.'
"Lawful? Do you know what those little animals are?" The artificial intelligence pointed to the butterflies resting on the flowers in the distance.
"In this world, the flowers, grass, trees, butterflies, sky, animals... everything has a soul, but all these souls originally were our Tita clansmen! Yes, they live happily in this beautiful world, then gradually vanish, transforming from humans to animals, from animals to insects, and finally from insects into plants until they disperse..."
"The Fairy Tale World's people can't reproduce! Their offspring are those who come into the Space Airship!"
"They cannot procreate in reality, and the number of the clansmen will only decrease. In the end, a lack of replenishment in the Fairy Tale World's population leads to the decay of all life, a genuine Hell!"
"Humans need to reproduce, to maintain the structure of the species, to ensure the spirit to survive against all odds! That is a civilization! Not hiding in a dream, eventually merging with the dream of the Evil Eye! Losing that spirit, the Tita Civilization will vanish, the Tita Human Race will disappear from the cosmos!"
The artificial intelligence roared hysterically, seeming to vent its countless years of anger and pressure, hissing wildly like a stressed cat at Xue Dili and Old Green.
The last Space Airship that their civilization launched before perishing was for that elusive beautiful future, for the opportunity for the last group of people to resettle on planet α-156, continuing their lineage's prosperity.
However, now the Fairy Tale World was in harmony, while in the actual Space Airship, everywhere the eye looked was devastation.
