Main God

"When have I ever joked around?" Seeing Tang Yu's punchable expression, Meng Xuanxuan was instantly irritated. If she said that to anyone else, they would probably wake up laughing in the middle of the night. But Tang Yu was a complete blockhead, and he still had the nerve to ask!

"Ahem... well, it's my first time dating. I don't have any experience!" Tang Yu scratched the back of his head sheepishly, looking exceptionally honest and simple. That amused Meng Xuanxuan.

"Then it's settled! Hurry up and get some sleep now!" Meng Xuanxuan waved a hand at Tang Yu.

"Uh... where am I supposed to sleep?" Tang Yu had just lifted his foot to head outside when a serious issue suddenly occurred to him. It was already past midnight—where was he supposed to sleep?

"Don't tell me you want to sleep here with me?" Hearing that, Meng Xuanxuan stared at Tang Yu warily, as though afraid he might try something improper. He looked so righteous and restrained on the surface, like some modern-day paragon of virtue. Who would have thought he was actually this kind of person? Meng Xuanxuan wondered if she had judged him wrong.

"Mm, you sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the floor!" Tang Yu was perfectly straightforward about it. What era was this? There was no need for such old-fashioned thinking.

"If you dare try anything tonight, I definitely won't let you off! I'll have Qin Bo teach you a proper lesson too!"

But Meng Xuanxuan was speaking entirely to empty air. Tang Yu was already sitting cross-legged on the floor, sinking his spiritual power into the black crystal between his brows. He could not hear a word she said.

The night passed without incident. The next morning, Meng Xuanxuan woke up and saw Tang Yu sleeping soundly on the floor, his face looking foolishly innocent. She suddenly found it amusing. Was she really that unattractive?

"Hey! Wake up!"

Tang Yu did not need Meng Xuanxuan to remind him. The instant she woke up, he had already awakened as well.

"Come with me to the Exchange Market later. I still have some things to pick up!" Meng Xuanxuan said to Tang Yu.

Hearing that, Tang Yu remembered as well. The items Meng Xuanxuan had bought should have arrived today.

"Little Brother Tang, Miss Meng, are you awake?" Just as Tang Yu was about to speak, Wu Yanqing's voice came from outside the courtyard.

After washing up, the two stepped out of the courtyard and saw Wu Yanqing standing at the gate with a smile on his face.

"Master Wu, I need to accompany Xuanxuan to the Exchange Market to pick up some things. The treatment will have to wait a while today!" Tang Yu assumed Wu Yanqing had come to ask him to treat Ye Xing, so he immediately explained.

"That is no concern. I'll have someone fetch the items later, so there's no need for you two to make the trip yourselves. As for the treatment, there's no rush. The chairman has prepared a banquet and specifically asked me to invite you both to breakfast. We can discuss the rest afterward!"

Hearing this, Tang Yu nodded and gestured for Wu Yanqing to lead the way. Meng Xuanxuan, on the other hand, looked curious.

"Didn't Uncle Ye Xing already stop eating ordinary food? Why is he thinking about having a meal?" Once a martial artist reached the Divine Transformation Realm, they had essentially moved beyond ordinary grains and food. They could abstain from eating, consume nutrient fluids, or eat the flesh and blood of higher-level exotic beasts. Only such things could meet the bodily needs of Divine Transformation Realm martial artists. Ordinary food was no longer enough for them.

The higher a martial artist's cultivation, the stronger their genes became. Their genes would be optimized to a greater degree, allowing them to absorb all kinds of energy from the universe and fuse it into every cell in their body, converting it all into origin force. Throughout the process, their genes, bones, cells, blood, internal organs, skin, and everything else would continue to evolve and improve!

As a Divine Transformation-level martial artist, Ye Xing had naturally already achieved this.

"Isn't this specifically to entertain you and Little Brother Tang, Miss Meng?" Wu Yanqing turned back with a chuckle.

"Thunderclap Kui Flood Dragon gallbladder!"

"Thousand-Leaf Magic Blue Flower!"

"Th-This is far too extravagant..." Seeing the dozens of fragrant, colorful dishes spread across the table, Tang Yu could not help swallowing. This entire meal had to cost several million Federation Credits!

"What a country bumpkin!" Seeing Tang Yu's stunned expression, Meng Xuanxuan curled her lips, wondering how she had ever fallen for this guy.

"Xiaoyu, as a martial artist, you need to broaden your horizons so your mind can open up as well. The vast, boundless starry expanse is where you belong. Once your horizons broaden in the future, you'll realize that none of this is anything special!" Ye Xing could not deny what Meng Xuanxuan had said. Tang Yu was indeed like this now, but it was not his fault. He was still young and had not encountered many things, so it was only natural.

"By the way, Chairman Ye, how is the war going now? Does the Federal Government actually have the advantage?" Mentioning the vast starry sky made Tang Yu think of the Federal Government's ongoing war against the Mechanical Clan. He had no idea what the situation on the battlefield was really like, or whether humanity's odds of victory were high. There was no useful information in the news either, leaving everyone deeply uneasy.

Hearing Tang Yu's question, Ye Xing burst into laughter. "How could a mere alien race possibly shake human civilization? The Federal Government has long since broken through the Mechanical Clan's blockade and sent the message out. Numerous experts have now gathered outside the Solar System, including native experts from Demon Cloud Star and top martial artists from the many martial sects of Centaurus Great Wasteland Star that have established cooperative ties with the Federal Government. They are waiting for Main God to give the order, then they will attack from within and without, crush the Mechanical Clan in one stroke, and seize their main brain. Once that happens, the Federation's civilization will take another great leap forward."

Just as expected, Tang Yu had long guessed that the Federal Government was too powerful to be restrained by the invading Mechanical Clan. Now that Ye Xing had confirmed it, he finally felt relieved.

"I know about Demon Cloud Star, but why have I never heard of this Great Wasteland Star in Centaurus before?" Tang Yu was curious. He knew something about the inhabited planets actually controlled by the Federal Government, since they were occasionally reported in the news. But he truly had not heard much about Centaurus Great Wasteland Star before.

"It's normal that you don't know. The martial civilization of Great Wasteland Star is already highly advanced. In order to demonstrate the Federal Government's commitment to peaceful friendship and exchange to the local natives, we have always taken a gradual approach to integration. The two sides can only be said to be in a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. It is an ally of the Federal Government, but it is not under the Federal Government's control, which is why the news does not publicize it heavily!" Ye Xing smiled slightly and explained what he knew.

"Do the people on Great Wasteland Star look like us? I once saw some natives from Demon Cloud Star on Mars. They had blue skin and sideburn-like fur growing on their bodies. They looked so ugly!" Meng Xuanxuan spoke up as well. Back on Mars, she had seen some people from Demon Cloud Star who had come to the Federal Government to study its advanced knowledge and civilization, but their appearances were truly hard to compliment.

Tang Yu had really broadened his knowledge this time. He had never seen humans from extraterrestrial star systems beyond the Federation. Hearing Meng Xuanxuan describe them, he could not help picturing the natives of Demon Cloud Star in his mind—blue skin and sideburn-like fur. It was hard to imagine.

"By the way, Chairman Ye, everyone says humanity's Main God supercomputer is incredibly powerful. What exactly is it?" Tang Yu was quite curious about this. Searching online revealed practically nothing useful.

"This is classified human information and should not be discussed casually. But neither you nor Xuanxuan are outsiders, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. Just don't spread it around."

Hearing Ye Xing say this, Tang Yu nodded solemnly. Naturally, he knew what should and should not be said.

"Main God was actually discovered by humanity in the ruins of an alien civilization inside Venus. However, it was not called Main God at the time. It was merely a relatively powerful supercomputer, though that was the prototype of today's Main God. After centuries of tireless effort by the Federal Government, using all sorts of scientific technologies, it was turned into the Main God of today. All human data, including citizen information and the like, is stored within it!"

"I've seen photos of Main God online. Is it really that huge?" The Main God circulating online was a gigantic spherical spacecraft nearly a hundred kilometers in diameter. It was said to be capable of entering warp travel in an instant without any acceleration at all. It was already difficult enough to get something so enormous moving, yet it could enter warp travel instantly without accelerating. It was simply unbelievable.

"To be honest, I've never seen the real Main God with my own eyes either. But the photo you mentioned is half true and half false!"

Half true and half false? Tang Yu's face filled with confusion.

"It's nothing much! Main God is actually made up of countless supercomputers pieced together. The core component is not nearly that large. What you saw was only an illusion." Meng Xuanxuan spoke up at this point as well. As the daughter of the Dream Domain Network Group, which held more than thirty percent of Main God's control rights, no one present understood Main God better than she did.

"Xuanxuan is right! Come on, enough of this. Hurry and eat! Look at this Thunderclap Kui Flood Dragon gallbladder. After eating it, a trace of lightning power can be infused into the origin force within the body's cells. Not only can it increase the explosive power of origin force, it can also nourish the body. It's a tremendous tonic!" Apparently unwilling to say more about the matter, Ye Xing hurriedly urged Tang Yu and Meng Xuanxuan to start eating.

"Hmph! Uncle Ye Xing never spent this much money when he used to eat with me!" As Meng Xuanxuan ate, she could not help muttering, complaining that Ye Xing had acted stingy in the past and had been reluctant to spend money on delicious food for her.
