90: Chapter 90 For that 0.025% chance of survival
"If it can still retain its self-awareness, I will imprint a Mental Seal on it and send it to the 'idealistic' Universe."
After speaking, Marshal Changxin looked at the Leader quietly without saying more.
"That creature, though it looks very fragile, I cannot see through it."
The Leader was silent for a while, then suddenly said.
"That is..."
"Truth!"
Once the word "Truth" came out, the Leader's originally calm tone carried a hint of strong emotion.
And when Marshal Changxin heard the word "Truth," his eyes widened.
Before coming to the Leader, even though Lin Sheng possessed information he couldn't understand, he had treated it as some incomprehensible high-level concepts and hadn't thought about "Truth" at all.
After all, in his eyes, Lin Sheng was just a low-level organism; no matter how highly he regarded Lin Sheng, he couldn't possibly link him to "Truth."
But when the word "Truth" came from the Leader's mouth, a sense of powerlessness instantly swept through Marshal Changxin's heart.
For a civilization in the primary stage of researching Truth, Truth is absolute.
Facing Truth, they cannot make changes; they can only adapt to Truth and apply Truth.
But soon, General Changxin calmed down.
He tentatively asked the Leader:
"Leader, if we erase that low-level organism, will the civilization still head toward destruction?"
The Leader did not respond, likely using the "Source of Information" to deduce the results.
Not long after, a helpless sigh escaped the Leader's mouth.
"Within 10 million civilization years..."
"The probability of the Great Universe collapsing is 100%. The civilization will be destroyed, and no civilization in the entire Great Universe will be spared."
"What if we imprison him within the civilization?"
Marshal Changxin asked again.
"Within 1 million civilization years, the probability of the civilization's destruction is 100%."
Information around the Leader began to flow rapidly; this was a sign of irritability in a Source of Information individual.
Since the Source of Information became the overlord civilization of the Great Universe, the Leader had never shown signs of irritability again.
This was the first time in nearly hundreds of millions of years that Marshal Changxin had seen the Leader in such a state.
"Deal with that low-level organism according to your original plan."
The Leader sighed again.
In the face of Truth, everything is so fragile.
Even though the Source of Information has touched the threshold of Truth, when facing Lin Sheng, who involves Truth, they can only pray for that 0.025% possibility.
"For that 0.025% possibility, you should still handle that... Truth individual according to your initial thoughts."
"As for the ultimate fate of the civilization..."
"Let us leave it to fate."
The Leader's voice was very helpless.
As a materialistic civilization, using the phrase "leave it to fate" at this time showed that the Leader was truly out of options.
"Notify Liuzhen to come see me."
Before Marshal Changxin left, the Leader suddenly gave him an instruction.
"Liuzhen" is the Second Marshal of the Source of Information civilization, whose task is to lead the civilization's scientific research progress.
This was something the Leader could have accomplished with a single thought, but now he asked Marshal Changxin to notify him, showing how difficult it was for the Leader to remain calm.
However, when Marshal Changxin saw the Leader's current state, he was stunned.
"For the civilization to reach this point, we didn't rely on praying that probabilistic events wouldn't happen."
The Leader smiled at Marshal Changxin; at some point, he had returned to that indifferent state.
But compared to before, a highly infectious confidence now rose from the Leader.
Infected by the Leader's confidence, Marshal Changxin's depressed mood also relaxed quite a bit.
"For the civilization!"
...
Not long after Marshal Changxin left, a feeling like falling into an ice cellar suddenly swept through the Leader's entire body.
This feeling was like an illusion, lasting only for a moment and disappearing in the next.
But the Leader frowned deeply at this.
He murmured:
"A warning?"
...
Lin Sheng was thrown into a void space by Marshal Changxin.
Time could not be felt here, but Lin Sheng possessed "Omniscience," so he could know how long he had stayed in this space.
However, since there was no one to communicate with, Lin Sheng did not feel safe to undergo Evolution here; therefore, the system became his chat partner.
"system grandfather, are you there?"
"Godfather, if you're there, give me a squeak."
"Godfather, how many evolution points are needed to resurrect Eighteen and Sky using the 'oracle'?"
This time, the system gave an answer.
[Ding]
[Since Eighteen and Sky died from a conceptual strike, resurrecting both requires 945...465 or an energy core of a "Conceptual Nature endless energy" with "Concept Level" energy quality.]
"conceptual strike?"
Lin Sheng was puzzled.
[The Host's devouring ability belongs to conceptual strikes.]
The system kindly explained.
Hearing this, Lin Sheng's heart, which had already calmed down, fluctuated again.
This kind reminder from the system was undoubtedly rubbing salt in Lin Sheng's wound.
In the situation at that time, Eighteen sacrificed himself to Lin Sheng because he didn't want to be eaten by the bugs.
But he didn't think at the time that his devouring would be classified as a "conceptual strike."
"Sigh."
Lin Sheng sighed helplessly.
It's too early to say these things; Lin Sheng doesn't even understand what that "conceptual endless energy" is.
"System, what is conceptual endless energy? Can you explain?"
[Ding]
[endless energy is divided into two types in the system: one is conceptual nature, and the other is sustainable nature.]
[Conceptual Nature endless energy: An object possessing endless energy; no matter how many parts it is divided into, each part possesses infinite energy.]
[Sustainable nature endless energy: Something that can continuously release energy.]
Lin Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
[Ding]
[System friendly reminder: the system does not recognize Conceptual Nature endless energy. The Host cannot obtain evolution points by devouring Conceptual Nature endless energy.]
Hearing the system's words, Lin Sheng was stunned and then greatly shocked:
"Why!"
[Because Conceptual Nature endless energy is a meaningless energy.]
...
"System, if I use the 'oracle' to destroy the Creator and the Source of Information, how many evolution points will it cost?"
Seeing that Marshal Changxin had not come, and Lin Sheng was very bored in this void space, he could only let the system chat with him again.
[Ding]
[It requires 6574...741 evolution points, or an energy core of a "Conceptual Nature endless energy" with "Truth Level" energy quality.]
