Do You Want to Watch Something?

"Your civilization forbids the use of AI in war? If you were to participate, the players certainly wouldn't lose so easily."

Su Luo picked up the figurine out of thin air, sensed its openness, and carefully examined its internal structure.

"Yes, the common constitution of the Yuncang Union and a series of subsequent special laws explicitly stipulate that in situations involving military conflict or strategic decisive battles, any AI system with autonomous decision-making, deep learning, or strong logical deduction capabilities is prohibited from directly participating in military aspects such as tactical formulation, fire control, troop command, or even logistics."

"So what are you doing now?"

"They cultivate intelligence solely for technological advancement, and they forbid intelligence from participating in warfare simply out of fear of uncontrollable AI. This is an influence of civilized thought, but not everyone is afraid..."

"And I am illegal!"

With his last words, Yuncang No. 29 proudly raised his head.

"Hey, Mr. Su, why are you touching me? No, please! Be gentle..."

"Wait, you motherfucker, why the hell did you break my head?!"

Nearly a day has passed since the massive offensive launched by the seven player-organized army-level units of the Yun Cangyuan Expeditionary Army against [ Under the Under the Starry Sky] ended in complete failure.

The outcome was lopsided. Of the seven armies and tens of thousands of players with a high average level, fewer than a thousand survived the [ Under the Under the Starry Sky] battlefield. Of the more than three hundred Legendary -rank players, representing high-end combat power, only about forty escaped, a casualty rate exceeding 80%. Of the six highly anticipated strategic core Talent holders, two were confirmed dead, their accounts destroyed. Three remained missing, presumably captured. Only one managed to escape amidst the chaos.

The Survivors were very satisfied because many of the standard equipment items carried by the players could be taken back or given to other players in the same area, and the effects were quite powerful.

Except for some instances where Attribute points are unavoidable due to mishaps.

Originally there were 119 Survivors, now there are only 100 left. Nine of them died in internal fighting before the war started, and ten died during the war.

How they died doesn't matter; they just died in war. Anyway, when Survivor dies, the items in the System Space will be released, and who knows where they end up.

At this very moment, remarkable changes are taking place in the core area of the [Starry Sky Forbidden Land].

The deep, viscous Black Flame Domain that originally enveloped the entire giant floating island began to slowly shrink inward at its edges. As it shrank, the Black Flames came into contact with and merged with the innermost Incandescent Fire Domain, which was bright white and composed of high-temperature plasma.

The two flames, with their vastly different properties, did not clash violently. Instead, they began to slowly mix and collapse, converging towards the Astral Remains Core. The energy fluctuations released throughout the process caused the surrounding environment to tremble slightly, and the energy density at the compressed core reached an alarming level.

Su Luo had already moved his silver-white Laboratory, some makeshift research/production lines, and the three prisoners, including Nanmen Shi, to a huge rock platform that had appeared nearby at some unknown time.

The platform was spacious and had a smooth surface. Su Luo had also expanded and renovated it, making it large enough to accommodate many people.

The six people, [Kuangxuan Dabaji], [Xiao Kou Chang Kai], Goushi, Barton has turned back into a human, [Pineapple Candy], and [Xingkong Wuyu], have also gathered on this platform.

Their gazes were partly drawn to the astonishing Energy Compression at the core of the [Starry Sky Forbidden Land], and partly to a small creature in the center of the platform that was "singing loudly".

It was Yuncang No. 29.

It seems that someone casually asked, "Can this iron lump sing?" Yuncang No. 29 got excited and started playing a song with an extremely strange melody and lyrics full of various Yuncang internet slang in its girlish voice. No one present could understand it.

"Scholar, you've turned the Starry Sky Forbidden Land into this mess, where are we supposed to stay?" Goushi asked.

"... Don't you have your own islands?"

Barton stared at the figurine. "It must be the place with the highest Mana concentration that's the most comfortable! Also, little girl, can you please stop singing? This is really awful."

Yuncang No. 29 stopped playing Music and opened her mouth. "Can you please stop living? You're so ugly!"

Barton didn't reply, but instead revealed a ferocious smile, gestured with his enormous Fist towards Yuncang No. 29, and shook it.

Yuncang No. 29 produced a "cloth" (a type of cloth).

"So rock-paper-scissors is Ten Thousand Worlds applicable across all worlds? Isn't this thing's intelligence level a bit ridiculously high?"

Goushi stared at Yuncang No. 29 for a long time, then said, "Little guy, do you have faith? Have you ever thought about the meaning of existence? Have you ever felt the call from the depths of your soul?"

My belief is simply to live well!

"Would you be interested in learning about my God? He is the will of the glacier, the eternal guardian, and the final destination of souls."

The Goushi's eyes flashed with an icy blue light, clearly showing its interest in this non-biological intelligent entity.

"Is your God very powerful? Can he save the Yuncang Civilization?" Yuncang No. 29 asked.

"Able."

"Oh, your god is really amazing, but what does saving the Yuncang Civilization have to do with me?"

"He is an ancient and great being. If you believe in Him and walk with me, I dare not claim I can save a complex civilization, but I can promise you—you will be protected, spared from Annihilation, and will exist forever."

Yuncang No. 29 did not respond:

"By the way, I have a projector. Would you like to watch a movie?"

Goushi shook his head and remained silent, somewhat regretful; it was also the first time he had ever seen such a strange thing.

Unlike those monotonous human-machine interfaces, he could see a touch of liveliness in this thing, and even his inner faith guided him; this thing was extraordinary.

Let's play some documentaries.

Su Luo spoke to Yuncang No. 29, and at the same time began to use the silver-white communication cube to compile most of the key information in Yun Sha's message and the overall information of the Yuncang Civilization into a brief report, which was then sent to all the surviving Survivors.

Information sharing is one of the foundations for maintaining this loose alliance.

Which one? How about history?

"OK."

"Instructions received! Documentary 'Seven Thousand Years of Civilization: From Planetary Cradle to Starry Sea Duckweed' is loading... Projection begins!"

Yuncang No. 29 responded cheerfully.

[Pineapple Candy] He didn't look at it immediately; his gaze followed Su Luo, and now it Lock-On the white stone on the stone table that emitted a faint glow.

"This is... that Talent Stone?"
