Starting With Me, Reshaping All Phenomena

This "Humanoid Black Light Virus" grew at an alarming rate.

Used poorly, it would backfire; used well, it was a sharp sword that could cut through anything.

With conscience, morality, gratitude, and responsibility as his "shackles," Meng Yi properly resolved the threat of Alex.

If Alex hadn't agreed just now, then sorry—the only path left for him was destruction.

Meng Yi also had a "heart," but he wouldn't allow anyone to interfere with his plan to use "civilization" as a "Testing Ground."

On this point, the False Emperor—who would rather sit on the "Golden Throne" as a "human jerky" to eke out humanity's survival than rise and be crowned "Chaos Fifth God Dark Mara"—probably shared common ground with Meng Yi.

But the Emperor was for all of Terra's humanity, while Meng Yi was for his own Testing Ground.

Leaving Alex's room, Meng Yi went first to dispose of another being with "protagonist" and "miracle" traits: "Red Light Mother: Elizabeth Green."

[Prompt: Killed Prototype Series boss: Elizabeth Green. Obtained 1000 Paradise Coins.]

Perhaps because the gap between them was too vast, the unconscious "Red Light Mother: Elizabeth Green" was extremely weak, and Firefly had already reaped a wave from her.

So killing this "boss" only netted Meng Yi a base reward of 1000 Paradise Coins—the same price as the ashes of Albert Wesker—with no Hidden Permission upgrades.

But it didn't matter. Getting anything from eliminating a potential instability was good enough.

"Red Light Mother: Elizabeth Green" was only worth 1000 Paradise Coins. He figured killing "Ant Queen: Alexia Ashford" or "Final Chapter Boss: Dr. Isaacs" wouldn't yield any "Paradise Coins" either.

Besides, those two high-IQ talents had been somewhat useful as assistants in his earlier research.

Meng Yi shelved the thought of discarding them like spent tools. He'd keep them and Umbrella Corporation to assist the "Civilization Watcher: Alex" he had appointed.

Meng Yi had the "Artificial Intelligence · Red Queen," which surpassed Blue Star's tech level, split off a backup program to update the supercomputer matrix under Umbrella Corporation's command, and quietly began to gradually devour all of Blue Star Civilization's supercomputer matrices.

Over eight hours with "Artificial Intelligence · Red Queen," he formulated a future plan that was thorough enough for the time being, and continuously had "Red Queen (Backup)" refine it based on the actual situation.

Blue Star Civilization silently entered an era where "Artificial Intelligence" controlled the general direction.

No one knew this except the two masterminds behind the curtain: Meng Yi and "Red Queen (Backup)."

There were only two hours left until the Selection Dungeon ended.

Countless anonymous files were sent to major Economic Bodies (including the Five Big Rogues), containing Meng Yi's technical concepts and rough plans for the "Longevity Series."

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Meng Yi gave them "seeds." Whether they grew into towering trees, Crooked Neck Trees, or just shrubs and weeds depended on each Economic Body's fortune.

Survival of the fittest, natural selection—nothing more than that.

"I've repaid the 'debt' I owed by completing my transformation in the Selection Dungeon."

"From today onward, I will resign as Executive Chairman and completely withdraw from Umbrella Corporation."

With a carefree and relieved smile, Meng Yi didn't seek out the awakened Firefly, nor the lazy and melodramatic Luo Ji. He simply took "Super Queen" and left the Raccoon City underground Hive alone.

Artificial intelligence is rational and cold, but also extreme and obsessive.

Even though Meng Yi had withdrawn from Umbrella Corporation, "Red Queen (Backup)" selfishly sealed away the highest authority belonging to the "Executive Chairman," waiting for the day its "Chairman" would return.

No one except Alex knew that Meng Yi had left.

So what should have been a grand exit had few people seeing him off.

Watching Meng Yi's lonely, receding figure and listening to his unwavering footsteps, Alex, hiding in the dark corner by the door to silently see him off, sighed.

"Chairman, I wish you a safe journey."

Alex knew the evolutionary traits of the Black Light Virus well. He was the Black Light Virus incarnate—how could he not understand himself?

"I will follow your orders. One year, ten years, thirty years, fifty years, a hundred years..."

"Until... until the humans of the New Era no longer need my watch."

Meng Yi walked through the dark, narrow underground train tunnel, memories of joking around with Luo Ji a month ago surfacing in his mind.

He reached the surface of Raccoon City, now nothing but ruins, and stepped into the Umbrella-built high-rise where he had first arrived.

The bloodstains in the first-floor lobby had long since dried.

It was here that Firefly, using just a table leg, had single-handedly wiped out the zombie army Meng Yi had initially created.

He smiled knowingly, climbed the stairs floor by floor, and reached the rooftop.

The howling wind scattered his thoughts. The reddening sunset stretched his shadow long, long across the ground.

"See the hillsides red with flowers, and the woods thick with leaves; the river green and clear, with hundreds of boats racing the waves. Eagles strike the sky, fish glide in the shallows—all creatures vie for freedom under the frosty sky."

He recited a passage from a great man's poem, feeling moved, but knowing he would never see that scene.

The thin young man opened his arms, as if embracing the entire world.

"Psionic Power · Body Alienation!"

Black-red lines spread from behind Meng Yi, shredding his plain White Coat, weaving together to form a pair of enormous demonic wings.

Flap! Flap!

Mach one! Mach three! Mach five!

The massive wings carried him higher and higher, like a reverse meteor, shrinking into a tiny black dot in the sky.

Humans are born with a longing for the sky.

Today, Meng Yi conquered the sky to a certain degree.

Briefly casting aside his calculated schemes and rationality, no longer bound by his former self-restraint and shackles.

Seizing the last moments, Meng Yi flew freely on instinct—this was his most relaxed moment in a month.

Troposphere—Stratosphere—Middle Layer—

Struggling against the planet's gravitational pull, he still couldn't escape its field to truly tread the cosmos with his physical body and glimpse the vastness of the starry sea.

"It seems this is as far as I can go. Then let's begin."

"With me as the start, open the Path of Evolution, usher in the Nirvana Era, and reshape—all things in heaven and earth!"

Carefully excising the contamination ability of the Virus Progenitor, retaining only the traits of "evolution."

Time ticked by, drop by drop, as red Pure Evolution Blood seeped from Meng Yi's skin.

The creator civilization of Alien: Prometheus single-handedly forged the cradle of life on a planet.

Today, Meng Yi gathered all the viruses from the Selection Dungeon, using the pure white miracle flower blooming from the mud and filth to illuminate the entire star.

The Pure Evolution Blood merged into the clouds and vanished, integrating into the planet's internal cycle. One day, it would fully permeate the biosphere of this magnificent star, rewriting the genetic structure of all life, granting "evolution" equally to All Living Beings.
