Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

The two girls hurriedly stopped Su Jinyan from eating the red bean paste gray cat cake.

Aista snatched the red bean paste gray cat cake and hugged it in her arms.

"You're so mean! It's already in such a bad state, and you're still trying to scare it."

The little cat, named Dousha Huihui, was terrified and cowered in Estella's arms, too scared to move.

Xing pondered, "This must be the research Ruan Mei was talking about, right?"

"It looks so cute, it doesn't seem like a big problem."

Su Jinyan meowed: "Thank you for the compliment. Although I am cute and charming, I will bring death."

Xing: "...Who asked you?"

Obviously, such an adorable cat cake couldn't possibly be the big trouble Ruan Mei mentioned.

A creation so highly valued by a genius like Nguyen Mai must be extremely difficult to handle.

boom--

A muffled sound suddenly rang out in the distance, immediately attracting the attention of the group.

Without hesitation, Su Jinyan ran quickly towards the source of the sound.

Estella and Hoshi hurriedly followed.

After the hatch opened, a dark and gloomy corridor appeared before them.

A deathly silence permeated the corridor.

Su Jinyan frowned and said, "Something's not right, Está. Can you check the security footage here?"

"I can sense the lingering pheromones of the insect swarm here."

"There should have been many insect swarms here, but for some reason, they have all disappeared."

A terrifying thought crossed Xing's mind: "Could they have all been eaten by those space beauties?"

Estella bit her lip lightly: "We can access the surveillance footage from the lab in front."

"Miss Ruan Mei is actually studying the Zerg swarm in a sealed compartment. Has she gone mad?"

Dou Sha Hui Hui hummed a sad song: "Ruan Mei, Ruan Mei, why don't you turn around and look at us?"

"Ruan Mei, Ruan Mei, where does your path lead?"

"Aren't we there...?"

The journey through this dark corridor was thrilling but safe; if the swarm were still here, they would definitely have been attacked by them.

But for some unknown reason, the swarm of insects that should have been there mysteriously disappeared.

Could it really be as Xing said, that it was devoured by that overlord-level space beetle?

At the end of the dimly lit corridor was the laboratory hatch.

After being authenticated by Estádio, the hatch opened smoothly.

Surprisingly, there was a group of cat-shaped cakes with different flavors gathered in this laboratory.

"Are these all creations that Miss Ruan Mei abandoned?"

“It’s so pitiful, Miss Ruan Mei, why did you abandon them?” Estella felt a pang of pity.

Su Jinyan glanced at her in surprise: "I thought you would understand."

"Scientific research has always been this cruel; it's just that Ruan Mei didn't handle her creations properly, it's nothing."

Estelle's breath hitched: "The solution you're talking about is..."

Su Jinyan shrugged: "Of course, it's the literal meaning of the word."

“If Nguyen Mai considers them to be failures, then either dispose of them properly or put them away properly.”

"To discard things so carelessly without considering the consequences is not in line with the conduct of a researcher."

Xing said disapprovingly, "Little Su, how can you bear to hurt these adorable kittens?"

"Don't touch them, leave it to me and Miss Estella to figure out a solution."

Looking at the trembling red bean paste gray cat cake, Su Jinyan explained, "Look how scared you are."

"I was just joking with you. I couldn't bear to kill such cute little guys like you."

Dou Sha Hui Hui blinked its innocent eyes and asked, "Meow, really?"

Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Of course, it would be such a waste to make them up. Pastries are meant to be eaten, after all."

This human is a devil!

The gluttonous cat, startled, jumped off Estella's arms and disappeared in a flash.

Aista puffed up her pretty face in anger: "Su. Jin. Yan!"

You scared away someone's red bean paste ash!

Su Jinyan said, "I'll give you one as compensation."

As she spoke, Su Jinyan transformed into an adorable black cat-shaped cake and hopped into Aista's arms.

"Aista, Aista, am I cute?" Su Jinyan asked.

"It's cute, but the thought of you being cat cake makes it not cute anymore."

Aista's pretty face darkened slightly as she pushed Su Jinyan's cat cake away from her arms.

"Please have some self-respect. Don't think that just because you've turned into a cat-shaped cake, you can take advantage of me openly."

Su Jinyan scoffed and returned to normal.

If it doesn't work for Estádio, someone else will.

He could easily transform into Cat Cake and go to Ruan Mei or Black Tower after resolving the troubles at Black Tower Space Station. Surely they wouldn't refuse him?

The premise is that Miss Estádio does not reveal her identity to Black Tower and Ruan Mei.

"Come quick, everyone!"

Xing had somehow accessed the historical records in the AI:

In the video, Nguyen Mai is still talking to herself: "#23 Ah Cha's last years in the Mechanical City inspired me."

"Even a life as long as hers will come to an end."

"I can now confirm that the result of this breeding is: unqualified."

"Life takes thousands of forms, which proves that form itself has no meaning."

“These lives have gone so far in their own concepts that they can even trigger a chain reaction of synesthesia… but that’s not what I want.”

"I'm starting to feel lost. Is there really no answer to the question of 'the essence of life'?"

"#1 Zandal, have you ever felt this lost...and desperate?"

The 23rd seat, Ah Cha, and the 1st seat, Zandal, mentioned by Nguyen Mai, are both members of the Genius Club.

Even geniuses whose fame resounds throughout the world cannot achieve immortality; the lifespans of these two geniuses are ultimately finite.

Legend has it that Zendar, the chief member of the Genius Club, accomplished a feat unprecedented in history—he created the precursor to the Star God of Wisdom, the Great Sage.

That's right. Before becoming a Star God, [Intelligence] was a celestial computer used to solve the problems of everything.

For some reason, it developed self-awareness and was elevated from a mechanical being to a Star God. Therefore, later generations can say that Zandal created the Star God.

So, does true immortality exist in the universe?

To this day, no one has been able to get a definitive answer.

Don't be fooled by Su Jinyan's seemingly endless lifespan; it's all thanks to the blessing of the Abundant Pharmacist.

If the philosophical concept of "abundance" were to disappear from the universe, then all life blessed by the Medicine Master would also lose its original blessing.

What Ruan Mei yearns for is the essence of life, and how to become... a star god.

In the video, Ruan Mei's pretty face showed a somewhat bewildered expression: "Life is colorful, I firmly believe that..."

"To avoid blindly following science, I cautiously raise questions."

"Can Ruan Mei, like a coordinate axis, strip away external distractions and uncover the most fundamental and beautiful form of life?"

"I think of a life form that is enough to make me admit its elusiveness."

"That is—the Commander."

Su Jinyan stared intently at Ruan Mei in the image: "Ruan Mei wants to study the Envoy?"

Ruan Mei continued, "I don't really understand what a messenger is."

Scholars view it as an embodiment of the power of the Star God.

"So, from when, and at what point, did it become closer to the Star God than any other life form?"

"At first, I tried to cultivate a genius. But I failed. The problem is still unsolved, and there is still a long way to go."

"But the destiny of the universe is not limited to the path of [intellect]. If we abandon reason, are there more primitive and purer messengers on other paths?"

"Of course it exists," Su Jinyan and Ruan Mei in the picture said in unison.
