The problem surfaced.
The three-person screen, however, dimmed and lost its color.
… …
Answer failed.
Existence was erased, and the first batch of 'Cosmic Star Plague' has been born in all three worlds!
Re-questioning:
Why did the Titan go mad?
A sudden change.
It was beyond everyone's expectations.
But it was within the expectations of several Geniuses and a professor with an opaque plaster head, Screwllum.
Aventurine's conjecture.
It was flawed from the very beginning.
The Black Tide was not a swarm of insects; otherwise, why was there no trace of a swarm in the murals?
And the sun… …
Did not refer to The Erudition Aeon.
During the Cosmic Star Plague, Akivili was still exploring the universe. If even he couldn't trailblaze to those star systems, how could the swarm invade?
Without a doubt… …
The Black Tide was the root cause of the Titan's madness.
But was this Black Tide truly the direct reason that drove the Titan to madness?
Evidently not.
Herta Sama, the Magical Girl who holds the 83rd seat in the Genius Club, once personally asked The Erudition Aeon, “What is divinity?”
And the word 'divinity'.
That was the key to answering the question.
In Omphalos, the Titans' existence was no different from that of gods; they created the world and people, pioneered rationality to mimic all things, granted the primordial beings the ability to make fire, and allowed them to multiply endlessly.
The birth of the Titan.
No one in the audience could trace its origin.
But what can be known is that from the moment of their birth, the Titans were already destined for a future by some hidden existence.
Herta: How could a place that warrants calculations from the big machine head just be an ordinary Cosmic Star Plague?
Ruan Mei: The Titans on Omphalos completely violate the basic laws of life.
Ruan Mei: Rather than being born, they are actually more like a group of underlying code.
Screwllum: Omphalos is like a small Simulated Universe, where Titans play the role of gods and heroes replace the Emissaries.
Keqing: Huh?
Yelan: How do you know?
Herta: It's obvious.
Xiang Ling: Obvious?
The statements of the three Geniuses.
Left the audience in the live stream, who had already formed a general idea, utterly bewildered again.
Underlying code… …
Simulated Universe… …
What is all this about?!
Listening to their words, the Titans in the story were not gods? They were just a group of executors born to achieve a certain outcome?
The amount of information… …
It's simply too shocking!
Trailblazer: If Omphalos is just a small Simulated Universe, then what exactly is it simulating? And who initiated this simulation experiment on Omphalos?
Trailblazer's question.
Did not receive an answer from the three.
This is how Geniuses are; they only need to throw out some shocking theories, but the audience who listens has much more to ponder.
What is it simulating?
And who is simulating it?
What is the simulation result?
Based on Herta's words, three new questions were brought to light.
… …
Inside the Q&A room.
The three seemed to be paused.
And in front of them, on the device serving as the answer pad, there were no fingerprints.
In other words… …
They had not given an answer.
… …
Question:
Why did the Titan go mad?
People of the universe, you currently have one chance left. If you answer correctly, you can still stop the 'Cosmic Star Plague' and save the three.
Of course… …
Opportunity and risk often coexist.
If this answer fails, the difficulty of the Cosmic Star Plague will double, and the three who have already disappeared will not return, forever vanishing.
Who… …
Wants to participate in the next round of Q&A?
As soon as these words were spoken.
The live stream was once again in an uproar.
Among the audience, it was still unclear what this progressively increasing "Cosmic Star Plague" truly was.
Nor could they, at such a time, risk being "erased" to speak out and answer.
Of course… …
Human courage is the anthem of heroes.
Among the myriad beings in the universe, there are always those who disregard their own lives for the sake of emotion.
Ratio: 1.
Trailblazer: I can participate!
Jade: 1.
… …
Mei: I'll participate!
Captain: For Kiana, I am willing to take this risk!
Siegfried: I'm coming!
… …
Zhongli: It's worth a try.
Qiqi: I can.
Traveler: I want to come! I am Miss Hu Tao's dog!
… …
The first three from the three universes will be chosen.
Congratulations: Ratio, Zhongli, and Mei are the lucky audience members.
Next, a split-screen video will be played. Please watch carefully.
During the process.
Indirect small questions will be asked.
Please be prepared.
Act I: Silver Chariot! Message to the Black Land.
… …
After the barrage of comments finished.
The three were teleported to the answer room.
Just like last time, the room also had four white walls surrounding a blackboard in the center.
However… …
This time it was a bit different from last time.
In an unobserved corner, Aventurine and the other three contestants were watching the three people in front of them in an indescribable state.
Aventurine: We fell for it.
Hu Tao: Did we?
Kiana: ZZZ.
Aventurine: This question was not asked for an answer; the video did not explain the reason for the Titan's madness.
Hu Tao: … …Indeed.
As an experienced gambler, Aventurine quickly understood the situation.
But he had no way; at this moment, they could only observe and not interfere, like a sleeping husband in a Japanese movie.
However… …
As he stared at Ratio.
Ratio also looked at him.
… …
