Luo Li: If I Wanted To, I Could Build an Empire in the Galaxy

Destination: Earth.

Or rather, it was Luo Li's "hometown," the place that had been ravaged by the vampire virus and then purified by Luo Li's own hands.

When the light from the data channel faded and everyone's feet touched solid ground, the scene before them moved everyone except Luo Li.

The planet, once shrouded in blood and despair, is now brimming with unprecedented vitality.

The sky was a pure azure blue, Blood-Erosion Clouds that had once lingered had vanished without a trace.

On the land, lush vegetation and clear rivers abound, and the brand-new city shimmers in the sunlight with a silvery-green glow, a testament to the harmonious coexistence of technology and nature.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, with no trace of blood or decay.

Wow!

Kong Yan'er took a deep breath dramatically, her heterochromatic eyes curiously looking around.

"This is your 'newbie village,' Data God? It's quite clean! Much more pleasing to the eye than Ms. Ruan Mei's delicate greenhouses~"

He nudged the Cerydra with his elbow and asked with a grin:

"What do you think, Your Majesty? Compared to your holy city of Okhema, doesn't this place have a unique charm? Would you consider incorporating it into your ' Law ' territory?"

Cerydra glanced at him indifferently, her insightful blue eyes sweeping over the thriving land. Her tone was calm and even, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible solemnity. "Order has been established, and life is vibrant. Although this realm lacks the profound accumulation of a thousand years in the Holy City, its rules are stable, and its potential is boundless."

She paused slightly, her gaze seemingly piercing through the atmosphere to the boundless starry sky, her voice lowering slightly. "However, witnessing such a power akin to 'creation' reveals the vastness of the universe and the multitude of powerful forces. If we wish to spread the light of Law throughout the cosmos, the road ahead... seems a little more arduous than anticipated."

These words, coming from the mouth of this strong-willed empress who once sought to unify Amphoreus, are already a very high compliment and a rare... reassessment of her own ambitions.

Kong Yan'er, as if discovering a new continent, moved closer to Cerydra, her heterochromatic eyes gleaming with excitement. "Oh my? Our ever-confident and invincible His Majesty Caesar actually finds the 'road difficult'? That's like the sun rising in the west!"

He circled around Cerydra, stroking his chin, and analyzed with an air of seriousness. "Don't you feel that relying solely on ' Law ' and ' Order ' isn't enough on such a vast stage? Shouldn't we consider introducing some external variables? For example... some kind of wondrous power that can bring 'surprise' and 'fun'?"

Cerydra looked at him expressionlessly, her gaze as if she were looking at a noisy child:

"Chaos and disorder are always the enemies of Order. Your 'wonderful power' only adds unnecessary variables; I see no constructive value in it."

Hey! You can't say that!

Kong Yan'er immediately retorted, conjuring up a shimmering rose from who-knows-where and attempting to pin it to Cerydra's shoulder ornament, which Kerudela subtly avoided.

"Without variables, where does progress come from? Without 'fun,' wouldn't life be too boring? It's like a game of chess with a predetermined outcome—what's the point? The real excitement lies in the fact that the next move is always unknown, my Queen!"

"What I seek is a game of chess destined for victory, not a farce full of unexpected twists."

Cerydra's tone was cold.

"That's why you need an 'accident' like me to wake you up!"

Kong Yan'er with righteous indignation.

Watching this pair of "Order" and "Elation" begin their daily debate again, Castorice couldn't help but smile and gently tugged at Luo Li's sleeve.

Luo Li shook her head helplessly and turned her attention back to the world in front of her.

He could feel that the planetary will of Earth was filled with affection and gratitude towards him.

As the one who purifies and reshapes this world, he possesses almost godlike authority here.

"This place will serve as the 'cradle' where Shiyu and Shiyi descend."

Luo Li spoke up, interrupting the interaction that was about to escalate into a philosophical debate.

He raised his hand, and the power of [data] surged silently.

Instead of directly creating life as when the Chrysos Heirs were resurrected, they began to "write" the underlying rules of this world.

Under his will, the ground beneath everyone's feet trembled slightly, and a pure white courtyard, blending the solemnity of the Okhema Temple with the delicate style of the Ruan Mei Workshop, was rapidly "constructed" from the flat ground, just like a plant growing.

In the center of the courtyard is a platform paved with warm jade, surrounded by soft green light from the Life Source Seed and an incredibly stable data stream, forming an absolutely safe domain isolated from all external interference.

In the sky, the trajectories of the stars seem to be subtly adjusted, guiding the purest cosmic energy towards this region.

The river has been diverted to encircle the courtyard, bringing life and Tranquility.

In just a few breaths, a near-perfect "sacred place" specifically created to welcome new life was born on Earth.

Kong Yan'er stared in disbelief, even forgetting to banter with Cerydra. After a long while, she murmured:

"Wow... is this the 'decoration' ability of a Aeon? It's much faster than Ms. Ruan Mei planting flowers and grass..."

A Cerydra's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deep contemplation.

She watched as Luo Li effortlessly altered the rules of the land, gaining a more intuitive understanding of the forms of "power."

Luo Li withdrew his hand, seemingly quite satisfied with his "work." He looked at the astonished crowd and calmly stated a fact. "If I wanted to, it wouldn't be impossible to create a vast empire out of thin air in the galaxy using the power of [data]."

This is not boasting, but simply an objective assessment based on my own abilities.

Kong Yan'er immediately perked up and leaned over to encourage her, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it! Data God Empire! It sounds incredibly prestigious! We can be the chief magician and entertainment consultant!"

Luo Li glared at him, annoyed.

His gaze fell gently on Castorice, then turned to the newly opened courtyard.

That place will be the place of his hope to welcome his daughters.

Materials, technology, and facilities are all ready.

The final "compilation" is about to begin.

The pure white courtyard was completely silent.

Around the jade platform, the "Life Source Seed" from Ruan Mei emitted a gentle yet powerful green light of vitality, which perfectly blended with the data flow field woven by Luo Li, which was as stable as the foundation of the universe, forming an absolutely peaceful realm.

The pure starlight, guided from the sky, fell like a veil, adding to the sense of holiness and peace.

Luo Li stood in the center of the platform and took a deep breath.

Even as the Aeon who controls [data], he couldn't help but feel a strange mix of tension and excitement.

This is different from when he resurrected Castorice and the Chrysos Heirs. This time, what he wants to "compile" is the continuation of his bloodline, the Finality of his love with Castorice, and two daughters who should have existed in the world but have been tossed between reality and illusion due to the tricks of fate.

Castorice stood at the edge of the platform, her hands clasped tightly in front of her chest. Her purple eyes were fixed on Luo Li, filled with endless trust, yet also concealing a mother's deepest expectations and a barely perceptible fear.

Kong Yan'er, unusually, put aside all her cynicism and leaned against a pillar in the courtyard, her heterochromatic eyes focused intently on the scene, even her breathing becoming much softer.

Cerydra stood ramrod straight, like a sentinel guarding a ceremony, her blue eyes reflecting the mysterious data stream and life aura, as if witnessing a great Law concerning the redefinition of "existence" itself.

Luo Li closed her eyes.

Consciousness was completely submerged in the sea of [data]'s power.

He first mobilized a massive amount of data from the Herta Space Station on "Existence Anchoring" and "consciousness stabilization." Countless formulas, models, and possible branches flowed, were analyzed, and integrated in his consciousness like a galaxy.

Next came the research data provided by Ruan Mei regarding the origin of life and the maintenance of the spark of consciousness. Those Life Rhythm, down to the microscopic level, provided him with crucial "vitality" parameters.

Then, at the very core—that unique and faint "possibility projection" data belonging to Shiyu and Shiyi.

This data originates from the shared life imprint of him and Castorice in the sandbox world, like a flickering candle in the wind, yet incredibly resilient, carrying the initial soul imprint of two young lives.

Luo Li treated these three forces as if they were the most precious glass in the world, using her data powers to guide them.

Using the Herta's "anchoring" theory as a framework, Ruan Mei's "life" data as filling material, and his own vast [data] origin as a binding agent and driving force, he began to meticulously and fundamentally "write" and "solidify" those two faint "possibility projections."

This process is infinitely more complex and difficult than creating matter or resurrecting the dead.

He is not merely "creating" life, but rather "acknowledging" and "stabilizing" a "reality" that should have existed but had not been fully revealed due to incomplete rules.

The data streams, like billions of living threads, intertwine and entwine above the platform, outlining two extremely tiny yet infinitely vibrant silhouettes.

The green light of the Life Source Seed, like a mother's amniotic fluid, gently enveloped these two contours, nourishing and stabilizing them.

Starlight showered down, infusing the process with Tranquility and blessings.

Time lost its meaning at this moment.

I don't know how much time passed; perhaps it was just a moment, or perhaps it felt like eternity.

The intertwined data stream and the light of life suddenly reached a critical point, and then abruptly collapsed and condensed inward!

Buzz--

A soft yet soul-stirring resonance spread from the center of the platform.

The light gradually faded.

On the jade platform, two tiny swaddled babies appeared, enveloped in a soft halo of light.

Inside the swaddling clothes were two exquisitely beautiful infants, their eyes closed, breathing evenly and deeply.

They had soft, silvery-purple baby hair similar to that of Castorice, rosy cheeks, and exquisite features that resembled the most perfect masterpiece of heaven.

The tiny fingers were slightly curled up; the child was fast asleep.

These were Luo Shiyu and Luo Shiyi at birth.

It worked!

Luo Li slowly opened his eyes. Even with his Aeon's composure, he could not hide the excitement and relief in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that his two daughters were no longer Nihility projections, but real, vibrant lives with a complete and independent foundation of existence.

"It... it was a success?!"

Kong Yan'er was the first to jump up, her heterochromatic eyes wide open, her face filled with unbelievable excitement.

Cerydra jawline relaxed slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.

And the Castorice—

The moment she saw the two tiny swaddled babies, her body trembled violently, and tears welled up in her purple eyes like a burst dam.

She almost stumbled to the edge of the platform, her hand trembling as she reached out, wanting to touch it, yet afraid of disturbing this dreamlike scene.

"Shiyu... Shiyi... my child..."

She choked back tears, her voice broken and incoherent.

Luo Li walked to her side, gently put her arm around her trembling shoulders, carefully picked up one of the swaddled babies and placed it in her arms, then picked up the other one and gently supported it herself.

The real weight, the warm touch, and the unique, milky breath of that young life... all of this clearly told Castorice that this was not a dream.

Her daughters are really back!

She looked down at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face in her arms, feeling the warmth of that tiny body. Her mind involuntarily drifted back to the excruciating pain of giving birth to them in that small rented room in the sandbox world, the utter exhaustion that drained all her strength...

However, at this moment, looking at these two little lives that I had lost and found again, looking at them curled up in my arms without any defenses and with affection, the unforgettable pain in my Remembrance inexplicably dissipated by more than half, and was replaced by a more surging and turbulent warm current called "motherly love".

All the suffering and waiting became worthwhile the moment I embraced my daughter.

"They... are exactly the same as they were back then..."

Castorice looked up at Luo Li with teary eyes, but a blissful smile, tinged with tears, bloomed on her face. "So small, so soft..."

Luo Li lowered his head, gently pressing his forehead against hers, his voice low and tender. "Yes, our two little darlings are back."

Kong Yan'er, seemingly out of nowhere, pulled out a brightly colored handkerchief, pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and exclaimed in an exaggerated, euphonious tone, "So touching! The cosmic-scale search for a daughter has come to a perfect end! Such a joy... no, such a grand event deserves a toast!"

Cerydra looked at the family of four embracing, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, her voice unusually gentle. "Existence has been anchored, and the Law bears witness. Congratulations, you have achieved your wish."

Outside the courtyard, the new life forms of Earth, drawn by the commotion and vibrant life force, seemed to sense this joy as well, emitting cheerful chirps and rustling sounds, as if celebrating together.

Warm sunlight filtered through the starlight, spilling into the pure white courtyard and onto the family who were finally reunited.

Luo Li and Castorice smiled at each other, their eyes meeting in a peaceful and happy scene that reflected the fulfillment they had finally achieved after overcoming countless hardships.

The two babies in their arms, sensing their parents' love, had a faint, sweet smile curving their lips in their sleep.

At this moment, their family was finally complete.
