Chapter 201 Genius Club
"[Genius Club], an organization created by #1 Zandar during his lifetime. He was the first genius recorded in history after the connection between civilizations. It is generally believed that his greatest contribution is the theory of the [Tree of Imaginary Numbers]. Aside from the [Knowledge Master] who ascended to the status of Star God, his other inventions have not been passed down to the world.
Only you know that the rest of Zandar's mechanical creations were "eaten" by the Lord of Knowledge. This huge piece of iron is not only Zandar's finest work, but also inherits most of his will.
The so-called "History of the Star Gods" is more complex and profound than the taboo literature that people are accustomed to.
However, later generations mostly tried to get a glimpse of his style during his lifetime through the manuscripts of this genius.
During your travels, Zandar's rare letters mentioned the Genius Club. He briefly mentioned the friendship between #2 [Hanad Punch] and #3 [Nuel Iman]. They announced the formation of the Genius Club in a garage and invited him to join as the first member.
I also spent a few more words to describe the connection between #7, #8, and #9, as if by coincidence they were born on the same planet at the same time.
And because of #7 [Bai Huan], #8 [Ram], and #9 [Klein], that period was called the "Golden Age"...
Sadly, Zandar's time ended at the beginning of that golden age. This wasn't a big deal, as soon as he died, #2 and #3 became enemies over academic research.
The former confirmed the existence of phlogiston, while the latter disproved it. You remember these people because you heard familiar terms.
——Phlogiston.
The term "phlogiston" initially caused considerable controversy in this world. Following the end of the friendship between the two geniuses, the Golden Age also came to an abrupt end because of this term.
#4 [Polkakakamu] assassinated all geniuses who could potentially transcend foresight in order to build the [Omniscience Domain]. As far as you know, #7 [Bai Huan], after reconfirming [phlogiston], was killed by Polkakakamu because he broke through the [Omniscience Domain].
Shortly afterwards, Ram and Klein also died.
Polka-ka-ka-mu was like a dark cloud hovering over the Genius Club, and it still hasn't dissipated even now, hundreds of years later...
To put it simply, this killer lady is still alive and well, and even has the energy to destroy all portraits of herself in the universe, so no one knows what she looks like.
Because of this lady, you have always avoided receiving any information related to the Genius Club, always feeling that some good memories are beginning to end.

And now, your lovely little fan [Rupert] is going to be invited, and you finally realize it and start to ask this question -
"Tiezai, Dad hasn't asked yet. What are your criteria for inviting people?"
The almost crooked eyebrows in your expression irritated Master Boshi. His indicator light flashed rhythmically for a long time without any response.
He knows your opinion of Polkakakamu, and his delay in responding is most likely due to a guilty conscience. This shows that what he did was essentially the same as what Polkakakamu did.
The assassin lady controlled the world within the scope of the [Omniscience Domain] by assassinating geniuses; while the Knowledgeable Lord controlled the world within a certain safety threshold by monitoring geniuses.
The kid you raised is still too naive. He only knows that you have opinions on this kind of thing, but he doesn't know that there is a word in the world called "double standard".
In this world, there are two types of people you hate the most: one is the person with double standards, and the other is the person who doesn't allow you to be double-standard.

"That's about all you know about the current global hot topic, the 'Emperor's War'. Hmm... the combined influence of the Genius Club and the little fans is enough for you to pay attention to this extent.
Although you do enjoy interesting things, you have lived long enough now that your procrastination has long been cured.
Either you've been procrastinating for decades and the problem has long since disappeared; or you're aware of your procrastination and take action the moment you learn about it.
Whether the problem is solved or not depends on whether action is taken at that time.
The answer is obvious, apart from writing letters to communicate, you have no other actions.
What's more, your little fan has already launched a universe-wide Emperor War through the [Anti-Life] program. Even if he joins the [Genius Club] and becomes #27 and is brought under the management of the Master of Knowledge, what will change?
Does Tiezai still think he can let Polkakakamu and Rupert fight fire with fire?

...Now that things have come to this, let’s leave it alone for now.
After you wrote back to Rupert, you didn't pay any attention to the follow-up. It wasn't until a few months later that Boshizun called you back and asked what you wrote in the letter.
You just learned that Rupert refused to join the genius club.
——Reason for rejection: You are not on the genius club list.
Rupert: Even I was able to find my way out of a situation where I was thrown into the trash, and even discovered a genius like Impas along the way. A mere genius club, inviting some already famous people, is just a copycat.
Therefore, Rupert felt that this so-called genius club was nothing special.
“…” What can you say?
You think he's right...
But facing the faint red indicator light of Boshizun, as an old father who raised him with great difficulty and painstaking efforts, you also——
wrong!
So, your eyes suddenly became clear, and you accurately moved your gaze to Bo Shizun's eyes, "So what? Can't he refuse? Why does he have to ask me about such things?" What's wrong with this kid? Can't he tell the difference between the big and small kings when he grows up?
Boshizun's wires were all tangled together. After a while, he finally gave the result of his calculation. "Analysis: The probability of inorganic life forms exhibiting empathy is extremely low, but individual Rupert has shown this phenomenon..."
"Don't say anything that requires me to think, Tiezai. You know I don't like to hear it. Also, why are you trying to change the subject?"
Logically speaking, a celestial computer that seeks to understand everything is absolutely logical and rational. I don't know what went wrong with the data, but this Boshizun is different from the one you know.
For example, right now, this kid's calculations clearly don't require time, yet he insists on waiting for a while before speaking. Ever since he learned "Silence," he's always applied it recklessly.
You've mentioned this before, and Boshizun always explains that this is necessary time. Different situations require different lengths of time, such as to intensify the sense of oppression, to enhance the current atmosphere, or to make the emotional expression more obvious...
Sometimes you wonder, how could a machine like Him need to express emotions through this thing?
Or was it Immortality that enlightened you? Everything is to make it easier for you to understand His meaning.
Back in the present, Boshizun was still silent, and you clicked your tongue. "Alright, I know what you mean! Are you done with your spoiled bragging? You just have to make me use my brain, don't you?"
The wires of Boshizun have regained their slack. Every time you see this scene, your brows twitch. Has this kid learned too much from following you? "
"Your friendship with Rupert didn't last longer than Zandar, and you neither gained a better understanding of the Emperor's Wars nor made any significant contributions.
The Master of Knowledge hopes that you can influence his thinking and bring the Emperor's War under control. Unfortunately, as an outsider who is out of touch with the times, you do not think Rupert has done anything wrong.
The carefully worded letter I sent you said that Rupert wanted inorganic life and organic life to have the same right to survive. The consciousness awakened in the garbage dump and the dream that was born required such a fierce and powerful rebel.
You know, if you want to open a skylight, you have to propose to tear down the roof as well. Then when you propose to open a skylight, no one will object.
Some say Rupert hates organic life and pursues ultimate perfection. You don't know if he's deceiving you. If he's an inorganic being that has learned to deceive, then in your eyes, he's already close to perfection...
It is foreseeable that if Rupert fails, organic life will become even more wary of inorganic life, while their situation will not change at all. You can already see the Second Imperial War brewing.
The fleeting thought was vaguely confirmed shortly afterwards. Did you ever consider that Rupert, joining the Genius Club, might come face to face with Polka-Kaka?
The news of Rupert's assassination spread throughout the world with some delay, and before that, you had not received his usual regular letters.
"I thought inorganic life would be very long-lived..." You wandered around the planet where Rupert lived, and the robots around you retreated in frantic alarm.
Immortal suddenly laughed, "But Star God is not immortal either."
"But you... you are." Taizi Yulos leaned on your shoulder, whispering like a butterfly fluttering its wings. "You are immortal."
You kind of want to roll your eyes, feeling like these two guys are whispering more like the devil than praising him.
But you were busy with your work, so you ignored the praises of Immortal and Taiziyulus. "Whether or not the Rupert I know is the real Rupert, I admire him in the letter, so I don't want to see his actions bring about greater backlash."
The voice was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for the robots present to hear. "Suspicion, caution, and oppression... Let me help you get through this stage smoothly."
As you raised your hand, an icy blue light flickered at your fingertips. Instead of letting down their guard, their fear intensified as they recognized the characteristics of [Taiz Yuros] that were associated with the breeding swarm.
"Don't worry, this time won't be too long. It will only preserve your lives to the greatest extent possible—"
At this moment, an omnic suddenly spoke up, "If, if what you said is true, when will we wake up from the ice?"
"Good question, I just remembered that there is this question!" You raised your eyebrows and looked at him in surprise, not caring at all how much emotional fluctuation this sentence caused among these inorganic lives.
You laughed so hard for a long time that you almost hit yourself with the strength of your hands. Soon, the laughter that was out of tune with the environment stopped abruptly.
"It won't be long. When the flame leaves offspring on this planet..." You suppressed your laughter at the mysterious words and looked at the omnic seriously, "That will be the time for you to awaken."
