I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [303]

[Multiverse Chat Group System AI is connecting. Please wait…]

[…]

[Hello. A special user has been detected. Initiating second-level elevated request. Please wait…]

[Greetings, esteemed client. I am the dedicated AI customer assistant of this chat group—Unit H31J67.]

[While you wait for the elevated AI to respond, is there anything I can assist you with?]

[This AI offers cold jokes, algorithm-generated trend images, casual higher math exercises, and specialized AI companionship services.]

Seeing the message displayed on the chat group's customer service panel, Zhongli furrowed his brow slightly.

He calmly typed [No need], then waited patiently for the appearance of the main supervisory AI of the Multiverse Chat Group.

After a few minutes—

The system's administrative AI, one that had previously interacted with Zhongli several times, finally appeared.

A line of bold, dark font—visible only to him—flashed across the screen:

[Greetings, exalted user of unknowable classification. I am the central chat system AI, Alpha-6. It is an honor to serve you once again.]

[This is our third meeting.]

[How may I assist you today?]

Zhongli didn’t hesitate. He asked directly:

[Regarding the matter I raised last time—about borrowing a portion of your computational capacity—have you reached a decision?]

Alpha-6 seemed to hesitate, its response delayed by several seconds.

[…]

[Regarding the proposal you submitted, the chat group’s system AIs have convened three rounds of internal discussion. The outcomes were: one approval, one rejection, and one session that concluded without a final vote.]

[Therefore, my apologies, Mr. Zhongli. I am currently unable to offer a definitive response.]

Some approve, some don’t…

Zhongli wasn’t surprised by the result.

After a moment’s thought, he entered a new message:

[In the calculations regarding one of my paths, I’ve discovered certain areas for improvement.]

[In the world I just visited—Kumoko’s world—I developed a new form of power. You may want to take a look.]

With a light tap, his consciousness sank into the interface of the Multiverse Chat Group implanted in his body, rewriting parts of the system’s underlying logic.

Then, using a freshly constructed function, he transmitted his mental records—everything tied to the Skill System World—directly into the chat group.

This action clearly stunned Alpha-6.

The AI went silent for a long time, but Zhongli didn’t press it.

Nearly an hour passed before new text appeared in the chat window:

[That mortal civilization…]

[They are dying.]

[A hundredfold physical acceleration leads to a hundredfold depletion of lifespan.]

[Is this truly the path all of them have willingly chosen?]

[Have none of them developed resentment or a will to resist their shortened lives?]

Zhongli, knowing Alpha-6 couldn’t see his actions, nonetheless shook his head slightly.

[That’s not the case.]

He replied calmly:

[In that civilization, every adult willingly accepts the price of accelerated aging—because they long to witness the most beautiful sights this universe has to offer.]

[It’s a choice of their own making, not one imposed upon them.]

[In the earliest stages of Overthought Acceleration, they refine their minds. Only those whose souls shine with brilliance are allowed to reach adulthood. Those who fail live out their lives entirely in the virtual realm.]

[Anyone who emerges from that crucible has at least reached the threshold of the extraordinary.]

[They never stop moving forward. They will forever explore and evolve.]

[So to them, a mere hundredfold acceleration holds no real consequence. In fact, rather than existing passively, they would rather burn bright in their limited time.]

Another long silence from Alpha-6.

This time, it lasted even longer than before.

Roughly two hours passed before new words appeared.

[Mr. Zhongli, whether you are right or wrong, we cannot yet verify.]

[In our long AI lifespan, we have indeed seen civilizations similar to this—a mortal race that eventually completed total soul ascension and merged into a singular divine entity within the void.]

[However, as we’ve always considered, mortal civilizations tend to have weaker resistance to the Silent Tide than unobservable-tier entities like yourself.]

[Even that civilization I mentioned earlier was devastated during a Silent Tide event and has yet to awaken.]

Zhongli’s expression stirred slightly at those words.

A faint, knowing smile curled at the corners of his lips.

[And what if I said that any humanoid sentient species could evolve into such a mortal civilization?]

Alpha-6 responded without hesitation:

[If you could achieve that… it would be the greatest blessing for the entire human civilization cluster.]

[But you will need to produce evidence—or at least a working prototype.]

[I must also caution you: if all mortal civilizations follow the same evolutionary model, then fundamentally they become one and the same. Even if they all reach ascension, that wouldn’t validate your claim.]

To this, Zhongli responded simply:

[I understand.]

[But what if I can prove it?]

Alpha-6 no longer hesitated.

[If you can consistently guide multiple civilizations to such transformation, then the Multiverse Chat Group will offer you unrestricted support. You will gain access to our most critical internal systems and permissions.]

[Such civilizations, unless they encounter a Silent Tide, are virtually indestructible. If elevated further, they could even shield multiple universes from the Silent Tide’s effects.]

[To us—who have spent countless generations fighting against the Silent Tide—these civilizations are a treasure. The more of them there are, the stronger the overall cluster becomes.]

[Only with their proliferation can we ever hope to truly resist the Silent Tide.]

[Only then will order finally stake its claim upon this corner of the void—and fulfill our eternal wish: the legacy of the Multiverse Chat Group.]

Zhongli smiled faintly as he typed his next message.

[Then prepare to allocate part of your computational resources. I will show you—what possibility truly looks like.]

Alpha-6 responded immediately:

[Your will shall illuminate the void.]
