The gray substance swirled and changed in Lacey's hands and began to condense further.

"You must have seen Zhuang Wu Gou and his unparalleled fighting ability."

Lacey mentioned a name that Ning Yu was familiar with.

"Yes, you designed his perfect combat AI program?"

"Also, you didn't attack the Ark Base any further. Was that intentional on your part?"

Ning Yu asked two questions in a row.

"That's right."

Lacey smiled lightly, but soon her eyes began to become deep again.

"I could have relied on my own strength to strengthen the system, and the truth I was studying would have surfaced."

"If it can be applied to me, it will be an unmatched force. I will be the ultimate weapon that no one can stop."

"It's a pity that the gods are watching me."

Lacey pointed to the sky in confusion.

“The problem I needed to solve ended up being a pure math problem.”

"But every time I solve this problem, I get a different answer. Every time, I perform trillions of deductions and spend countless computing power."

"The answer I get is different every time!"

“It’s like God is rolling the dice.”

The light in Lacey's eyes became sharp, and she seemed a little angry.

"Do you know why?"

"Inhibition."

Ning Yu opened her mouth and gave the answer.

"That's right. No one can try to gain true knowledge or the so-called root in any way."

“God loves the world, but that love is nothing more than treating the world as a plaything.”

"You and I are just playthings of the gods."

Lacey smiled to herself.

"But the most ironic thing is that the gods are not individual entities at all, and there is no specific object that you can hate."

"He is the collective unconsciousness of all mankind, the willpower of the planet, and an indescribable existence."

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs."

"This sentence does not mean that the heaven and earth belittle or look down on us mortals."

"It means that there is nothing that humans can guess about the operation of the universe. God treats us all equally. This is merciful, equal, and ruthless."

Ning Yu listened to Lacey's description and fell into deep thought.

She suddenly thought that if William's Utopia plan could succeed, those immortal humans could study wisdom for an unlimited amount of time.

Does that also mean a kind of blasphemy and prying into the "true knowledge"?

If this is the case, then is Lyon also, to some extent, the inhibitory effect on William?

No one knows the answer to this question, and of course Ning Yu would never tell Lacey about this possibility. She just felt inexplicably sad.

If the pursuit of true knowledge is human resistance, then if the object of this resistance does not exist, it is even contrary to the survival of mankind.

So is this struggle still meaningful?

"When the disaster struck and you, the key, disappeared, I knew that the restraining force had begun to take effect."

"So I envy you. You are the only one who can kill and stop him with your own hands."

Lacey spoke softly, and the movements of her hands finally stopped completely. All the cyborg mutant zombies around her had disappeared.

They turned into several sparkling soul gems in her hands, floating gently in her palms, emitting an alluring glow.

"You want me to help you kill Leon?"

Ning Yu understood what she meant.

But even if Lacey didn't say it, Ning Yu would probably do it.

First, if Leon activated the world-destroying magic, the entire human world would cease to exist, and Shen Yiyue, whom she cherished, would also disappear, so she would not allow it.

Second, Yue Ji said that this would be her inescapable fate.

But that didn't stop her from wanting to ask Lacey.

"That's right, as long as you promise me, these soul gems will all be yours."

Lacey waved her hand gently, and the soul gems lined up in front of Ning Yu.

Ning Yu stared at them and estimated that as long as he absorbed these soul gems, the mission of the power of Akasha should immediately make a lot of progress, even to 100%.

But she still did not change her expression and said calmly:

"Even if I don't agree to you, you can only give it to me, right?"

Lacey smiled calmly and said:

"You can only promise me, right?"

"So what's going on with Morning Star? Since her life is in Leon's control, how dare she come to kill me? Why did she come to kill me?"

Ning Yu still didn't agree to her directly, and instead asked about Chen Xing.

"Her."

Lacey pretended to recall something, and then said:

"She is a high-level mutant zombie who has developed normal human emotions."

"She also had the desire to continue her race. She wanted the zombies to exist in this world forever, instead of being burned as fuel by Leon."

"She probably thought that by killing you, she could stop Leon's ritual, so she was willing to take the risk."

Ning Yu understood Lacey's explanation and asked, "So, is what she thought true?"

"If I die, will Leon really never be able to complete his ritual again?"

Ning Yu pointed at herself.

"Xiaoyu, no!"

Shen Yiyue next to her couldn't help but get anxious. She suddenly became unsure of Ning Yu's thoughts.

Ning Yu reached out and tapped her head.

"I'm just asking, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Yiyue had no choice but to cover her head feeling aggrieved, but she was still a little worried.

"I really envy you two."

Lacey looked at Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue with a puzzled look.

"So?"

Ning Yu continued to ask.

"I don't know either."

Lacey spread her hands and did not give an answer. Perhaps only Leon himself knew the answer to this question.

Ning Yu glanced at Shen Yiyue beside her. She knew that if she really died, this idiot would definitely start reincarnation again and again to find her.

"Deal, I'll take this task."

She took the Soul Gems from Lacey's hands under her satisfied eyes as if she had accepted a commission for hiring a killer.

“I wish us a pleasant cooperation.”

Lacey had her usual smile on her face, and it was hard to tell what she was really feeling.

"I can also provide you with a cyborg transformation that is more thorough and more powerful than your sister's. What do you think?"

"No."

Ning Yu rejected Lacey before she could finish her words.

The golden vortex symbol on her forehead began to glow brightly, and her whole body floated up, with her silver hair flying in all directions, blown by some invisible energy.
