The simulation ended...

Su Ze's gaze lingered on the final line of the simulation text.

Chen Keqing...

She had actually died for love because of him? That was truly an unexpected development.

Just over forty days of surviving the apocalypse together had made a young girl willing to go that far for him.

Was his charm simply too great, or was this girl too deeply devoted...

"Probably a bit of both."

Without realizing it, Su Ze let out a faint scoff.

Nothing else.

He just thought Chen Keqing might be a little cuter than he had expected.

But just how cute she was, Su Ze could not say for now.

Still, after this round of simulation, Su Ze completely gave up on the idea of putting a sack over Chen Keqing's head.

On one hand, he could achieve his goal without resorting to such extreme methods.

On the other hand...

A forcibly picked melon might quench your thirst, but it would not be sweet.

Melons were better sweet...

As for his sudden death in the simulation just now, it was not surprising in the slightest.

After all, he had chosen a talent that came at a cost.

He could not live past sixty days, so there was nothing strange about dying...

Simulation Evaluation: Fate was set; go with the flow You may choose one of the following three simulation rewards: 1. Avalon (God's Creation) 2. Demon Contract (Gold) 3. Sword Control Technique (Blue)

The simulation rewards appeared...

Su Ze's gaze shifted back and forth between the first two options.

Although Demon Contract was a gold-tier talent, as long as there was nothing wrong with his brain, he probably would not choose that reward.

If he could only live for sixty days, what use were more treasures...

"Is there a possibility that talents appearing as rewards have actually been improved, so I won't die that early..."

Having suddenly noticed this blind spot, Su Ze could not help taking a deep breath before decisively choosing... Avalon.

Although the simulation text just now had not described this reward's origin or function in great detail,

it was definitely an extraordinary treasure.

It could create an internal space through imagination alone.

Such lavish handiwork, like that of a Deity—there was no reason not to choose it...

You have selected the simulation reward—'Avalon' Simulator cooldown: 19 hours 59 minutes

With the reward in hand, Su Ze could feel a subtle change within his body this time.

It was as though an extra organ had been added to his body. He could sense the existence of that "power."

Whoosh...

He raised his hand. At a thought, a faint glow appeared in Su Ze's palm.

His consciousness could pass through that faint glow and observe the structure within...

It was not actually complicated.

He could understand it as the Sumeru Grotto-Heaven found in cultivation novels.

It was just that the Avalon he had just acquired was completely empty inside. Nothing existed there.

It was zero.

As the one who controlled Avalon, Su Ze could shape the structure of its internal space through imagination.

For example, if he imagined a villa inside, then a villa would appear there.

If he imagined a beach, then it would become a beach.

Only...

"This space doesn't seem particularly large."

The consciousness flowing into Avalon quickly reached its boundary.

If he viewed this space according to the concepts of the three-dimensional world,

its length, width, and height were all the same—roughly one hundred meters.

In other words,

Su Ze's imagination could only function within this limited space. It was not truly boundless...

Of course.

If such a vast space was only meant to build an apocalypse Safe House, then it was more than enough.

By floor count, he could build a twenty- or thirty-story tower inside.

Each floor would have ten thousand square meters.

Whether it was used to store food or create recreation areas, that much space was entirely sufficient.

And there was one more crucial point...

"Even the rules can be shaped by myself."

Su Ze's consciousness delved deeper.

Although there was no written explanation whatsoever, as the master of this space, he could simply read its secrets.

And as for the so-called rules that he could shape himself...

To give another example.

If Su Ze set the energy within it to never run out,

then the appliances he imagined into existence, such as refrigerators and computers, would always have electricity.

Not only that.

The same principle could be applied to food.

He could imagine a fruit tree. That fruit tree would not bear fruit, but bread would grow from it every day.

Although such rules contradicted the real world, within this space, such things could indeed be done...

However, limitations still existed.

"Nothing with self-awareness can be created."

Su Ze quickly grasped the most crucial restriction.

There were also some other restrictions.

For instance, he could only imagine it once.

Once Avalon's internal space had been constructed, it could no longer be altered.

For another, if the rules he created contained fatal contradictions, the internal space might collapse.

Like a star turning into a black hole, everything would vanish into nothingness.

And then again, if there was any deviation in his imagination, the things created might also end up flawed.

That issue was relatively easy to solve. Using a physical object as a reference could greatly reduce the chance of mistakes...

"So... is this my world?"

He silently mocked it in his heart.

But Su Ze was in an exceptionally good mood.

During today's simulation, he had lost count of how many times he had felt that the Safe House was unreliable.

Now, he no longer had to worry about that.

With such a supernatural treasure, he could directly draw a line between himself and ordinary people...

What he needed to do next

was carefully operate this "my world," make perfect use of its space, and create a comfortable, luxurious apocalypse Safe House.

After fiddling with it for a while,

Su Ze slowly turned his gaze back to the simulation text.

Before the next simulation began, the text would not be overwritten.

Su Ze could still slowly study the information hidden within it.

And at that moment, Su Ze's attention was focused on...

"...The draft paper used when Gods created the world, and even a fragment of that draft paper."

That was information explicitly revealed in the simulation content.

Those brief words contained plenty of startling information...

"Gods... truly exist in this universe."

Su Ze realized this crucial point.

Then what exactly were these so-called Gods...

Would they be evil Gods like those in the Cthulhu Mythos?

Or God-level civilizations under the Dark Forest Law?

If that was truly the case, then humanity would be utterly hopeless.

Fortunately, there was currently no evidence proving that "Gods" were evil.

Naturally, Su Ze would not waste mental energy here, frightening himself for no reason.

For now, his task was to focus on dealing with the coming apocalypse...

"Then now... it's time to design my Safe House."

The next day.

At noon, inside the dormitory.

Su Ze sat upright before his computer desk, patiently searching online for reference materials...
