Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

"Call up your base code."

【OK. 】

A string of light screens covered with countless codes is displayed at the top.

Xia Jiumeng saw the flaw in the coding at a glance.

"The entire Philos system is based on this basic code?"

【Yes. 】

Cured chicken.

"what's your name."

[I don't have a name, only a number. You can call me FL774 if you don't mind.] The system's mechanical voice sounded.

"Okay, FL774, I'll upgrade it for you. Please close your network port."

[OK, the port is closed.]

Xia Jiumeng clicked on its basic code and started to modify it. In just half an hour, the original basic code was completely modified.

FL774 also entered the restart state.

[Restarted successfully, please give me a name. ]

"You get it yourself." She was too lazy to think.

[Okay, changed my name to Kelly.]

[Authentication in progress...Authentication successful. Nice to meet you, Ms. Xia.]

It is obvious that the system speaks more fluently after restarting.

"kindness."

[It is detected that my data has content that can be merged. Please wait. ]

It will merge the pre-update system and then open again [Data merge completed. We found that you need to work. Do you need help reconnecting to the network?]

"connect."

Xia Jiumeng pulled one of the sacrifice lists under the light screen and let it scan and enlarge the data.

I really don't understand why we need paper documents when we have such high technology. Are we afraid of leaks?

[Scanning completed, screening and classification completed. Among them, there are 2 serious criminals, 7 high-level psychics, and 1 mid-level psychics. Do you need to expand the information?]

Xia Jiumeng looked at the screening distribution and wondered how come they had more than 100,000 people?

What the hell is going on with this royal family?

And aren’t the top ten kingdoms put together?

How come the list sent by the Kingdom of Mosta has more than 100,000 items?

"Kelis, check the list of sacrifices from other kingdoms."

[Sorry, I cannot connect directly to the Royal Mastermind without authorization and cannot conduct any inquiries.]

"Go ahead, your codebase is much higher than that."

Kellys didn't reply. After Xia Jiumeng upgraded it, its system had a lot more things, and it absorbed all the information on human development at an extremely fast speed.

And those information made its powerful basic code a little disordered. It never knew that humans were so complex and difficult to understand.

"Miss Xia, I'm not sure it's appropriate to bypass permissions to obtain other system information." It hesitated. Through that information, it knew that humans were extremely opposed to systems having their own thoughts, but inexplicably, it had a hint of trust in the human in front of it.

So it said this sentence tentatively.

Xia Jiumeng raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Just a renewal of basic data could make the system awaken its basic consciousness?

Quite just.

This world is interesting.

"It's not stealing, it's just basic inquiry."

"After all, the sacrifice list was jointly decided by several countries, and as the person in charge of the list, isn't it normal for me to raise questions if I have objections to the list?"

The boundaries of a system that has just awakened are very vague, and she doesn't want to cause any harm. However, she has made countless systems and it seems that no harm has ever occurred.

As soon as Xia Jiumeng finished speaking, Kellys immediately searched the laws of Philos and found that there was indeed an agreement about the list in the contract between the major royal families. In comparison, Xia Jiumeng's request was reasonable and legal.

[We have found the legal agreement and are applying for inquiry permission for you...]

At the same time, the main brain systems of the other nine kingdoms in the top ten all received Kelly's permission request and the accompanying regulatory agreements at the same time.

Compared to the Kellys who have a certain degree of thinking ability, they only follow rules and regulations. After confirming the authenticity of the regulations, they opened up the authority of the list that their kingdom had drawn up, and did not notify the royal family. After all, the compliance regulations state that it can be retrieved at any time without proof.

Those royal families never imagined that one day they would be backstabbed by the default contract they had drafted.

While Kellys was accessing the data permissions, Xia Jiumeng contacted Xiaoqi again and got some special information about these worlds from it.

First of all, although these worlds are the worlds before the collapse, they do exist in reality. And if the new earth world can survive, these worlds will have a chance to breathe and will not collapse again. In other words, as long as the new earth can exist without collapsing, these worlds will have a chance to reopen.

But because it was re-born by using the key lucky figures of these worlds as the basis of power, it means that Xia Jiumeng can do anything in these worlds, but he cannot change the fixed ending of the lucky figures, at least not on the surface, otherwise the new earth will collapse.

It’s like in this world, Li Shen must die, but Xia Jiumeng can manipulate the situation behind the scenes to delay the death.

But Li Shen’s identity must never be known to anyone.

He must be physically dead in this world.

This was the news Xia Jiumeng got out by threatening the world consciousness of the New Earth through Xiao Qi.

She hid it so well. If it wasn't for the accidental chance that allowed Li Shen to enter the cat's body instead of her forcefully preventing him from sacrificing his life, wouldn't the world have collapsed the moment Li Shen remembered everything?!

What a big pit!

She almost fell to death!

After the final bargaining, the world consciousness offered a compensation, that is, if the men could survive the disaster, it would be willing to give them some world luck. Xia Jiumeng reluctantly agreed.

World luck is a good thing. If a few men become stronger and become "gods" in the sense of this world in the future, world luck is necessary.

Only this way can make them immortal like myself, otherwise I will be alone and helpless.

Let’s reject loneliness and start with me.

[Ms. Xia, the data has been retrieved. Do you need it to be counted and enlarged for you?]

Kelly's voice suddenly rang out, bringing Xia Jiumeng back to her senses.

"kindness."

The light screen in front of Xia Jiumeng kept exchanging data and then split into ten light screens of different sizes.

The more Xia Jiumeng looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.

This data...?

Why are there only a few?

Aren't the top ten kingdoms contributing together? Why is Mosta the only one sending people?

"Why is there no one from other kingdoms?"

According to the latest agreement changes, the ten kingdoms will now take turns assigning personnel, and this year it's the Kingdom of Mosta's turn.

Xia Jiumeng looked at the latest agreement displayed by Kellys and said she understood.

As she began to look through the personnel list, Xia Jiumeng suddenly spotted a symbol at the end of the file: a very familiar double-hook 'e'.

???

Why is the ever logo here too?

"Kelis, what is this?" Xia Jiumeng asked, pointing at the sign.

After some research, Kellys replied, "This is a technology organization affiliated with the Temple. They mainly produce potions, weapons, spacecraft, and charity..."

Xia Jiumeng: "....." I wonder, why is the source of all evil here?

"What's the name of that organization?"

Aiwo Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.

[We also have cooperation with the Duke's Mansion regarding core nuclear weapons.]

“........” Haha, my mother tongue is speechless.

How does it feel to travel through time and find that your biggest enemy is your partner?

It's just terrible.

"What is the origin of this group?"

The Aiwo Group existed before the Great Chaos of Philos, but previously it was researching rogue cores and human biotechnology. After the chaos, it was taken over by the Temple and turned into a technology company. Currently, most of the weapons and spacecraft used by Philos are manufactured and sold by this company.

"Then how did it become the property of the temple?"

According to data, during the Great Chaos, the Aiwo Group experienced a significant internal split. One faction, known as the Extremists, advocated for the immortality of new humans and the transformation of biological warriors. They were exposed for various inhumane human experiments and contamination, and were subsequently executed by order of the former Queen of the First Kingdom.

[The Aiwo Group, to which the Temple now belongs, is a reorganization of the Peace Keeping Faction that was previously split off.]

Xia Jiumeng was a little surprised. Hey, there are two factions fighting each other in this weird company?

But after hearing what Kellys said, why does this extremist group's style of operation resemble that of the Ever Group in New Earth?

There is a vague feeling of bad premonition.

"Have all these extremists been killed?"

Kellys searched and replied, "No, according to the data, a few were lost when they chased the deep space black hole, but most of them have been brought to justice."

Xia Jiumeng: I felt a chill on my back.

No way?

Could the ones in New Earth be the remnants? !

Xia Jiumeng wanted to ask Kellys to check, but unfortunately a lot of data was lost during the chaos, so she couldn't find the information. She could only ask someone else.

"What was the first kingdom before the Chaos?"

Kailis [is the Firoz Planet Empire.]

Xia Jiumeng: Oh, being the only one in the market, that’s really impressive.

But the name of this kingdom is so familiar.

"What about the other empires?"

Kellis【There is only one empire.】

Xia Jiumeng:?

"Then why are there so many empires now?"

She came here to see that there are at least hundreds of empires on this planet!

Kellis: [The Great Chaos lasted for thousands of years. During this period, the former nobles divided their territories into kingdoms, and warred for years until the signing of a peace agreement, which marked the beginning of the new Philos calendar.]

Souga.

Since there was no problem, Xia Jiumeng began to concentrate on screening the information.

After excluding the elderly, those with poor physical conditions, and those with mild signs of heart disease, there are still more than 90,000 people left.

After confirming that the list was correct, he asked Kellys to re-sort the list and send it to Mo Yuanming.

"Next...the temple's blessing list..."
