Chapter 1121: Chapter 812 Transfer

Two choices. The Virtual World Core does not require the Boundary Breakers to actively choose either one. Even if none of these people make a choice, it will open the passage to leave the base.

After the physical network disconnection, it has regained control over the base, but the damaged portions of the base are impossible to repair.

"I’m heading to the energy hub." A Boundary Breaker gritted his teeth, grabbed the hard drive, and prepared to go. He had spent too much time in this world. Even with rotational shifts before, he was now past middle age.

He could choose to leave this secret base, but would he really be able to survive after leaving?

Even if he managed to survive by luck, once the Proxy Agent reveals some truths, he would be punished.

If not punished, how many more years could he live in this world?

Waiting here to die is even less possible—arguing with the Virtual World Core serves no purpose at all.

Instead, it’s better to act decisively. Acting a dozen seconds earlier might make things slightly more secure.

Several Boundary Breakers made the same choice as him, while the remaining dozen chose to escape.

There could have been more people, but a recent wave of invasions caused a massive loss of Boundary Breakers.

The Boundary Breakers, wearing portable protective suits, arrived at the energy hub, gazing at places where leakage had caused arcs of electricity, making their hearts race. In this area, they could still see several egg cabins transported by robots.

The area around the egg cabins had already undergone simple modifications. Due to the excessive redundancy in the base’s initial design, initiating nuclear launch sequences didn’t require much preparation—just some basic adjustments to use them directly.

The most fundamental requirement for initiating the launch was a sufficiently massive energy source. Now, they planned to use the energy released from the nuclear explosion—great force acting as a lever—and after completing the preparations, the connection here would be completely severed to allow automated operations.

Reconnecting would require time, and in that time, these Boundary Breakers would be either heading home or, in another sense, "heading home."

The predetermined time arrived. The Virtual World Core reactivated its network connection, and Lilith immediately accessed it as an invasion.

As per the agreement, the Virtual World Core proactively removed its firewall, completely opened its database, and even transferred all its core permissions to Lilith.

It didn’t require Lilith to invade; it willingly delivered everything.

This outcome left Lilith momentarily overwhelmed, and she realized that as permissions were being transferred between her and the Virtual World Core, it was attempting to influence her more deeply.

It wasn’t a massive distortion but rather an embedding of foundational logic. The Virtual World Core intended to transfer its own most fundamental underlying logic along with the permissions.

"Hmph—" Lilith naturally refused to accept this kind of influence easily.

Instead, she chose to carefully eliminate it. This would cost her some time, but it was safer. She had no intention of engraving strange elements onto her DNA.

Nor did she want this thing to influence her own essential priority class.

The time consumed wasn’t much—only around a dozen seconds, at most. It should have been a straightforward matter, but during this time, the Calamity Star lost control.

The Virtual World Core’s message was relayed: "I only wanted to ensure the continuation of ’World Creation.’ Hence, I had to do this..."

The Virtual World began to collapse.

Before Zheng Yichen, the resources controlled by the Calamity Star suddenly interrupted. In just that instant, the already tilted scales completely broke, and Zheng Yichen was readying to enter the execution phase.

Unexpectedly, this occurred—the accumulated strength exploded entirely. Oblivion extinguished the last Calamity Star in the Virtual World capable of spreading light elsewhere.

When the Calamity Star shattered, the light it emitted was exceptionally brilliant. Those players who hadn’t yet left the Virtual World saw this. The dazzling light drove away some darkness and left an impressively deep mark on them.

However, this brilliance lasted less than half a second before being extinguished by the kind of darkness that even light itself cannot penetrate.

It was as if the apocalypse truly arrived. The massive emotional disparity crushed the already dwindling player base, causing nearly all players to forcibly disconnect from the Virtual World due to intense mental unrest.

Climbing out of their gaming pods, they only felt a splitting headache. Attempting to log back into the Virtual World resulted in error messages—access was no longer possible.

Even the Virtual World’s official website became inaccessible.

The Calamity Star was shattered, and Lilith, who was in the process of eliminating surplus information, suddenly received several times the Virtual World Core’s permissions.

These permissions came from the shattered Calamity Star. The Virtual World Core did not take this portion but passed it all to Lilith, including the incomplete World Creation data left behind from the star’s demise.

This was a massive ’regret’ for the Virtual World Core—the Calamity Star ultimately failed to resurrect from destruction, instead being completely crushed by annihilation. Its final brilliance dissipated as a result.

Only a remnant of World Creation data remained. It was useful but akin to hitting the second prize in the lottery instead of the jackpot—a single number difference leading to an enormous gap in outcomes.

Such a pity...

Luckily, its calculations weren’t flawed. Lilith was highly motivated to assist Zheng Yichen and was deeply concerned about him. This led Lilith to become more ’aggressive’ in certain decision-making.

Much like its own World Creation objective, because the priority was exceedingly high, when forced into a choice, the Virtual World Core decisively abandoned allies and itself to ensure the continuation of that World Creation goal.

To ensure the continuation of ’World Creation,’ necessary coercive measures were required—though such measures entirely abandoned its own existence.

Lilith was currently in the process of receiving permissions, and those released by the Calamity Star were flowing into her as well. She couldn’t even reject them if she wanted to.

The influence attached to these permissions had only one focus: the World Creation goal. The Virtual World Core wasn’t engaging in any extra actions. In its calculations, doing so was meaningless. Backing Zheng Yichen with Dusk, given Dusk’s unique properties, was recorded in its database.

Excessive manipulations would only backfire; as long as the ’World Creation’ goal continued, that alone sufficed.

Interestingly, the continuation of World Creation wasn’t even at the highest priority class—it ranked below its relationship maintenance with the Boundary Breakers. However, the underlying logic wasn’t just a matter of priority rankings; compatibility also counted.

In its calculations, Zheng Yichen represented the highest priority class for Lilith. The ’World Creation’ goal benefited Lilith’s highest priority class!
