The biological side of artificial intelligence seemed to have overly abundant emotions.

Looking at this hysterical AI pouring out its difficulties, men would watch in silence, while women would shed tears.

But Old Green seemed not to pamper it, even before Xue Dili could make a sarcastic comment, he reached into the container again, and with a "smack, smack" he slapped that brain until it twitched.

"Stop acting crazy here. Essentially, isn't it just your civilization prematurely deifying something that wasn't fully understood, and then arrogantly using it as an energy source? You're talking as if you're the victim," Old Green sharply remarked.

Xue Dili, who was pondering how to break the deadlock: "..."

Old Principal, you are really strong. Did you often counter spoiled kids' indulgent parents in the past, honing this ability to quickly and sharply critique weaknesses?

Whether it was the high impact of Old Green's words or the brutality of the slaps, the "Tita" AI was left speechless, whimpering like a beaten pup.

"I wonder if you guys are fools? You dare to use something that's not fully understood as an energy core and place it here, thinking you're safe because nothing has happened for thousands of years. Essentially, you're just leading to your own extinction through arrogance and conceit." Old Green seemed not to indulge this Tita AI.

The "Tita" AI looked at Old Green, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Aren't you also considered a human race of Tita? You're insulting your own arrogance and conceit..."

"Yes, and that's why they are on the brink of extinction."

This sentence by Old Green once again almost broke down both Xue Dili and Tita.

Ignoring the currently stunned AI, he continued, "I heard this on another planet: 'Weakness isn't a barrier to survival, arrogance is.' Although I don't fully agree, it seems right for you now."

"We... I..." The AI, seemingly untrained in retorts, was bewildered by Old Green, this "half-Tita human."

"So do you understand? You're still arrogant and conceited now, even unwilling to fully share information with us. You just think if you can't solve it, we definitely can't solve it either. If that's your attitude, Xue, let's just leave; we won't indulge it." Old Green seemed uninterested in saving his homeland, speaking to Xue Dili.

Xue Dili: "..."

Old Green, you might be a bit extreme.

However, the destination for this thing is the Solar System. It's not just about whether Xue Dili can save it; it must be saved, shifting from saving the people here to saving his own homeland.

But looking at the bewildered AI, Xue Dili suddenly played the conciliatory role and said, "Here's a little hero who saved multiple doomsday crises, records available for verification. Let's exchange information first; we definitely have other solutions on our side."

Xue Dili brought out his Savior Holy Sword and other Treasures, leaving the AI stunned.

It seemed to genuinely begin contemplating, and Xue Dili even saw a hint of relief and liberation from that brain, then it said, "Let's establish a mental connection, and I'll share all information about Tita Civilization with you."

Now there's nothing left to fear; given the current circumstances, acting alone is awaiting death. It can't possibly hold out until the day of landing, so why not take one last gamble?

What if, it succeeds?

...

Tita Civilization is an ancient civilization, originally following a pathway similar to Blue Star, heading towards mechanical civilization.

But one day, a meteor that shocked the entire world landed on their planet, disrupting the original technological progression.

That meteor contained endless energy and extraordinary biological genes, a discovery that drove the entire Tita Civilization into a frenzy.

Due to the long stretch of time, their home planet's core had gradually cooled, and currently, even in the warmest periods, the surface experienced temperatures of minus thirty degrees. The core's heat diminished by the year, seemingly plunging the whole world into eternal cold and snow, with civilization about to dissipate.

However, the life samples and endless energy brought by the meteor presented their final hope. They used the meteor to elevate their civilization, making it so that children born thereafter no longer feared the cold and snow.

Biotechnology boomed, with advancements in genetic modification, biological energy transmission devices, life support technology, and life stabilization technology appearing in succession.

Finally, the birth of biological AI, the successful construction of the ecological spaceship, fueled the belief that everyone could survive.

Consequently, the entire Tita Civilization expended almost its last resources to create an extraordinarily large space airship, capable of housing hundreds of millions, incorporating the "meteor" of endless energy as a core furnace to burn forever.

The entire space airship used rotation to generate gravity, ensuring the people living onboard felt like they were on a planet with better living conditions than their home planet.

Even to simulate complete ecological cycles, they transplanted nearly the entire biosphere of their home planet into the ship, enhancing the ecological cycle capacity of the entire space airship.

Estimated to take 35,000 years, spanning approximately 1,123 generations, the final settling planet was Earth, 34,000 light-years from the home star, where they would continue to thrive and instigate the resurgence of Tita Civilization.

The majority would spend these millennia within life support devices (the precursor to the current monstrous form), leaving only a few to maintain the operation and logistics of the space airship.

Because the meteor possessed endless energy, and being bioenergy, they had already inexhaustible resources in the most challenging energy aspect, requiring theoretically only simple basic maintenance to keep this mothership, half the size of a continent, indefinitely drifting through the cosmos without issues.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Not long after the space airship flew out of its own star system, the "Sun" at its core opened its eyes.

That day, all the people in the life support devices were pulled into an eternal dreamscape, and those maintaining the space airship's operation, being too close to the core, were instantly assimilated and pulled into the Fairy Tale World.

Only a small number of Tita Human Race in other settlements were not assimilated.

The only lucky incident was that the artificial intelligence "Tita," serving as a deputy brain controlling the entire space airship, escaped the core area under an engineer's frantic rescue and hid underground in the wilderness.

Then, who knows how many years passed, until now.

...

Xue Dili finished receiving this story, and remained silent for a long time.

He could understand the people of that planet. After all, it seemed the whole world was about to be destroyed. By the time the space airship launched, the surface of the entire planet had reached a point where carbon dioxide could be frozen into a solid state.

It was no longer a place where normal life could survive. People were like prisoners, desperately pleading for a hopeful future. Sky, flowers, and trees had become ancient myths within their civilization, clinging to life underground.

The steel ground, the planet's geothermal heat was about to disappear, and the planet would completely become a Dead Star, forever sealed in ice and snow.

Under such circumstances, they seemed to have no choice—they could either slowly die, or gamble everything like a desperate gambler making one last bet at the table.

That was to bet that the space airship could successfully reach the Solar System.

But they lost the bet, not during the long cosmic drift, nor in the collapse of civilization or internal wars, but because of that "Evil Eye" they relied on for endless energy.

Hundreds of millions of eco-sustaining devices were made using genes and biotechnologies from the Evil Eye, so when the Evil Eye awakened, they were the first to fall, followed by the second wave—people genetically modified with Evil Eye genes.

The Evil Eye brought their civilization rocket-like advancements in biological and ecological technologies, but when it awoke, those technologies instantly became the fatal blow that destroyed their civilization.

Countless years passed, seas and fields changed. Even those pioneering Tita people in the Fairy Tale World had lost their consciousness, potentially becoming a flower, grass, or even a brick constituting this world.

And now, even though the whole space airship was almost completely overtaken by the Evil Eye, they actually discovered an unassimilated Tita Human Tribe within the space airship, inspiring this artificial intelligence to struggle one last time.

This was their final struggle for the continuation of their race.

It and "Village Chief Green" used mushrooms from the Fairy Tale World to cultivate an area not covered by the Fungal Mat, where they led the remaining people to establish a tribe.

Because the essence of the Fairy Tale World is a "twisted dream," and as life decreased, it gradually materialized. When it completely lost life, the whole "twisted dream" would become a physical entity overlaid on the real space airship.

By then, the Evil Eye would fully awaken, marking the end for their Tita civilization.

Therefore, to prevent the Evil Eye from awakening, they must maintain this twisted dream, annually forcefully inserting a certain number of souls into the dream to sustain the Fairy Tale World's operation.

This artificial intelligence also discovered that when biological organisms from the Fairy Tale World entered the real world, they could "distort" the Fungal Mat and grotesque forms, even being mistaken by them as the same kind.

These are the experiences they summarized over endless years fighting against the Evil Eye's dreamscape.

Seeing this, Xue Dili closed his eyes.

The Evil Eye still hasn't fully awakened. Its earlier opening of eyes might have been mere murmurings.

Yet, just its instinctive actions almost decimated an entire civilization.

Xue Dili felt as if he were reading a horror story by some American novelist, where the entire world was the dreamscape of an Ancient God, rendering individual humans as insignificant as dust, utterly powerless.

And now, with the Ancient God on the verge of waking, the last sparks of civilization are about to be extinguished.

But even if the high ground is lost, the Gate Tower is gone... Xue Dili still has a move...

"Mushrooms from the Fairy Tale World will stop the advance of the Fungal Mat in the real world?" Xue Dili asked.

He also remembered, Holy Light would also halt the Fungal Mat's progress. Do the two have something in common?

Yes, brother, they're both not products of the "real world."

So, Xue Dili suddenly had an idea.

"What would happen if all the 'people' from the Fairy Tale World came into the real space airship?" A light bulb instantly lit up next to Xue Dili's head.
