From the end of the world

Chapter 750 BUG
Although I am not very familiar with the habits of sheep, herbivores in nature are often very vigilant and will run away at the slightest disturbance. They will not ignore any unfamiliar elements in their environment.

The little white lamb, being rather silly, perhaps because I was the creator, stumbled and trotted towards us after bleating once. Halfway there, it lost its balance and bumped into Zhu Shi's leg.

Zhu Shi glanced down at the little white lamb, then turned to look at me, and said in astonishment, "I can't sense any signs of magic power... nor is it being manipulated from the outside. But it has flesh and blood and a soul, it's alive... Senior Brother Zhuang, can you even create life now?"

"It seems so?" I said.

The little white lamb innocently bleated, "Woof?"

"You created it yourself, and you're not even sure about it?" Zhu Shi exclaimed in surprise. "By the way, why did you create a sheep? And why is the sheep barking like a dog? Is that how sheep bark?!"

"When I was creating this just now, I suddenly couldn't remember how sheep bleat," I said.

"What is it! What is it!" Zhu Shi exclaimed like someone from Guangdong.

Jian Feixian seemed to have finally lost his patience. He flashed from a distance and came over to us. Then he looked down and carefully observed the little white lamb. His gaze was like an X-ray, able to dissect the little white lamb from the inside out.

The little white sheep seemed to be frightened by Jian Feixian's sharp gaze and hid behind Zhu Shi's legs in fear.

After a few seconds, Jian Feixian said with a puzzled look, "This sheep... it's grown the wrong way."

"What do you mean by 'grown the wrong way'?" Zhu Shi asked curiously.

"From a biological point of view, many parts of this sheep are illogical. The general skeletal structure and major blood vessels are barely correct, but the details are a mess, the muscle distribution is also haphazard, and the internal organ system is particularly problematic. For example, as a ruminant animal, a sheep should have four stomach chambers, but it only has one like a human. The endocrine and nervous systems are also a mess, and the reproductive system simply does not exist."

It's really jarring to hear the word "biology" come out of the mouth of Jian Feixian, a person whose clothes and temperament are like those of a fantasy novel character. What's more, he actually analyzed it in a very logical way: "Logically speaking, such an animal would not only be unable to survive, but it would be absolutely impossible for it to even move."

"It should be unable to see or hear anything, and will die soon after birth from severe internal bleeding. It shouldn't feel pain, because pain is also a neural function, and Zhuang Cheng clearly didn't design it that way. But..."

He thought for a moment, then stretched out his finger towards the little white lamb. The Great Impermanence's ability to ignore spatial distance took effect; his finger crossed space and poked the little white lamb's soft body. The little white lamb winced in pain and was startled, trying to run away. Zhu Shi quickly picked it up.

Jian Feixian's analysis is correct. After all, while I have basic biological knowledge, it's limited to that. I'm not a professional in this field; I may not know much about human physiology, but I've never really observed the physiology of animals like cats and dogs in detail. The reason I designed my creation as a sheep was simply because I suddenly remembered that the first cloned mammal in human history was a sheep—a small tribute.

It's undeniable that it was poorly made; in fact, when we were creating it, we hadn't even decided whether it was a sheep or a goat. We just designed its appearance based on the stereotypical image of a "sheep." We didn't seriously consider whether it was a male or female sheep, since I don't remember what sheep's reproductive organs look like, so we simply made it genderless.

As for the sound, it's not that I actually forgot how sheep bleat, it's just that halfway through thinking about it, Detective Kong's face suddenly popped into my mind. Speaking of which, the weirdo's appearance is that of a sheep's head... It's already good enough that I didn't set the sheep's bleat to Detective Kong's voice. Then, I was too lazy to search my memory for the sheep's bleat, so I simply copied and pasted the dog's bark into it.

I didn't really think I could pull it off; at worst, I could just redesign it. Earthworms are living things too, and their structure is quite simple, so I figured I might as well not try to create a sheep and just create an earthworm—that would be creating life. And guess what? I actually managed to create one!

Saying I "didn't expect it" would probably sound a bit pretentious, and part of it was intentional on my part. But since it was my first time doing this, I was sure there would be some failures. The result was even more successful than I imagined.

Looking at the little white lamb struggling in his arms, Zhu Shi concluded, "So, this lamb is an 'impossible creature'... a monster that exists using strange powers?"

“No, this sheep doesn’t need any strange power to sustain itself. Like the cats and dogs we see everywhere, it’s an animal that can survive naturally,” Jian Feixian said.

Zhu Shi said, "But you just said that it couldn't possibly be true naturally..."

“Yes, according to the laws of nature, it shouldn’t exist. But it doesn’t need any external force to sustain it and can survive independently in the natural environment,” Jian Feixian said. “From the standard of ‘whether it is illogical or not,’ it is not unreasonable to define it as a strange thing. However, it is clearly not the same as ordinary strange things; it is a ‘paradoxical life form.’”

Zhu Shi used "Mount Buzhou" to observe the little white sheep, then his lips twitched, and he asked me, "Senior Brother Zhuang, how did you do that...?" "Actually, I also felt that my design was a bit unreasonable, so I was thinking about whether I could prevent reasonableness from getting in the way of my good deeds..." I said.

"What do you mean by 'let rationality not get in the way'?!" Zhu Shi's mouth dropped open.

Jian Feixian suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, so this is the power after pushing open the third door..."

The Great Impermanence, who pushes open the third door, can wield magic in a world without magical power, and can also do many other things that transcend the existing world order. Even the divine seal's power to modify the world's background setting cannot completely cover it up.

Natural laws, scientific principles, and even mathematical rules—things that people consider to be the fundamental rules of the universe—cannot completely bind people like myself and Shan Liangyi.

Characters like Jian Feixian and Fazheng, who are considered "Great Impermanence," may be able to do things that defy the laws of nature and achieve many miracles that trample on common sense, but in essence, they are still in accordance with a more fundamental order. To describe them, Great Impermanence is like a supreme emperor or a super-powerful minister who holds absolute power. Although the law stipulates that the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners, those who possess overwhelming power have the means to trample on the law without being punished.

While they may have violated the law on the surface, they actually conformed to certain underlying rules of violence, which, though lacking legitimacy, were justified.

The power of the third gate can even surpass these things; it is a truly "extraordinary" power.

This little white sheep was created by me in a daze. I am not yet very proficient at the power that transcends the world that I possess. However, as long as I improve my proficiency, I feel that I can even create a stone that I cannot lift and lift it at the same time.

The little white lamb seemed to have given up struggling and obediently nestled in Zhu Shi's arms. I erased the sapling that had just been created next to us. I originally wanted to erase the little white lamb as well, but Zhu Shi stopped me.

"It was a living being, after all. It shouldn't have been killed like that, right?" She smiled and stroked the little white lamb.

"This is the afterlife. The 'life' created here may not be able to be brought to the world of the living." I was also a little uncertain.

The afterlife is currently modeled after the apocalyptic reality, so I not only created the sheep's soul, but also its physical body. Whether this body will be recognized as a spirit in the afterlife when brought into the world of the living is something that can only be known through actual testing.

There's only one thing I'm certain of: this little white lamb is indeed a real life independent of me. Even if I'm gone, it can survive on its own.

"I suggest we just erase it," Jian Feixian suddenly said. "After all, it's a product that truly defies the logic of the world, and it's likely similar to the contradictory history of humankind we have today."

"Only such a paradoxical life form could not cause the destruction of the world. Our world is not that fragile; something of this magnitude is merely a negligible error. But if this life form were to multiply to an extremely large number, like humans, or even have its own history, it would most likely bring about an apocalyptic phenomenon."

“Zhuang Cheng, although I am not in a position to criticize you now, I still suggest that you do not add to the world’s mistakes in the future. The existence of one apocalypse is already troublesome enough. If you bring in a few more apocalypses, it may really be beyond saving.”

The power of the third gate could cause the end of the world... His reasoning is highly probable.

Just as numerous bugs can cause computer programs to crash, or even completely paralyze the system environment, rendering it unusable, the power of the Third Gate could likely achieve a similar phenomenon, causing a chain reaction of collapses across a large area of ​​reality. In fact, the apocalypse we are currently facing is the result of the accumulation of numerous malicious errors.

Zhu Shi's expression also turned serious. The little white sheep seemed to sense the ominous atmosphere and let out an uneasy bark.

After thinking for a moment, I said, "I know, but let's keep this sheep for now. When we get back to the real world, I'll learn about sheep physiology and correct its erroneous physiological structure. That would be a way to fix the world's mistakes, wouldn't it?"
“I also need to familiarize myself with my new power, and this sheep can be my practice subject. It hasn’t even developed a reproductive system yet, so there’s no need to worry about it reproducing. After all, it doesn’t even have a sex, so there’s no mate for it.”

Originally, I said this simply because Zhu Shi seemed to have a bit of a crush on this little white lamb. Since it posed no threat to world safety, I figured I could just find some excuse to keep it. Of course, the explanation I gave wasn't a lie; the topic of "little white lamb" was quite fitting for me right now. But halfway through, another possibility came to mind.

Since I can correct the "bug" of Little White Sheep, can I also correct other existing "bugs"?
