"Some?!"

Herta said, a little surprised, then looked up and stared directly at Jiang Lin:

"You'd better explain clearly what just happened... And why did you delete all the data?"

Facing Herta's questions, Jiang Lin used the art of changing the subject.

"I just did a small test, and from my understanding, the Aeons in the Simulated Universe... are a bit too weak."

"Huh? Even that simulated Aeon of Aha could tell this universe was fake, and you say they're weak?"

Herta expressed her doubt.

But Jiang Lin insisted on his point:

"Compared to the real Aeons, those in the Simulated Universe are a bit low in both their status and values, though they do resemble them quite well."

"If we adjust them higher, what if they all discover the Simulated Universe is fake? What about the universe then?"

Herta also stuck to her opinion, unyielding.

Jiang Lin, however, said calmly:

"Why do you think the real Aeons can't discern the truth about the universe? As the apex of the universe, they are the most qualified to know."

"Then if they all know the universe is fake, that it's something we simulated to observe their true selves, would they still show us their most authentic selves?"

Herta brought up her point again, staring at Jiang Lin with an inquisitive gaze.

Jiang Lin also shook his head, saying in a gentle tone:

"Then, the simulated Aha, who knew the truth of the Simulated Universe, did it act fake?"

"This... perhaps Aha is just too special?"

Herta's tone now also began to show doubt... Jiang Lin didn't respond, but instead asked:

"What do you consider divinity to be?"

Herta paused for a moment, then also stated her view:

"For the Aeons, it is to discard all complex thoughts and concerns, and to pursue their Path with the utmost extremism and purity.

This is the divinity of the Aeons."

Jiang Lin asked again:

"Then do you think there's any connection between divinity and humanity?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Herta suddenly fell into thought. She was the one questioning Jiang Lin just moments ago... Jiang Lin then continued:

"I believe divinity is actually incomplete humanity. Humanity contains divinity, but divinity does not contain all of humanity."

"Are you serious?"

This was the first time Herta had heard such a statement, and she expressed her doubt.

"Don't rush, let me continue.

Because divinity is missing many emotions, leaving only one.

When a person casts aside all complex emotions and retains only that one, humanity will focus on this point, and at this time, it becomes divinity.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

After Herta pondered for a moment... "If your view is correct, then can I assume that the divinity of different Aeons is also different?"

Jiang Lin nodded: "Yes, the parts they retain are not the same, but they can all be found in humanity.

The erudition's thirst for knowledge, the hunt's vengeance, Abundance's compassion, harmony's tolerance, Nihility's 'lying flat' attitude, and so on—everyone possesses these to some degree."

Herta nodded: "Hmm, thanks, a very good point. I've noted it down."

Then the puppet's mouth curled into a smile: "So what did you do with the Simulated Universe?"

Jiang Lin felt a bit helpless; she had forcefully dragged the conversation back again... "Don't mind these key points. We should waste our time on more meaningless things."

"Huh?" Herta suspected there was an issue with the puppet's hearing function... Jiang Lin smiled slightly at this moment: "Just kidding, don't mind it."

"Honestly, that's not funny."

Herta was speechless, but after thinking for a moment, she said:

"Fine, if you don't want to say, then don't.

So, your point is, you suggest we strengthen the Aeons in the Simulated Universe?"

Jiang Lin nodded: "Aeons are single-minded.

They are not like humans, who have emotions, cognitions, and insights that constantly influence them. They only care about their Path."

"You mean, even if they knew the Simulated Universe was fake, as long as it didn't affect their pursuit of their Path, they wouldn't care, right?"

Herta quickly understood what Jiang Lin was trying to convey, and looked at him, seeking his confirmation.

"Hmm, that's what I think. Besides, wouldn't the data obtained this way be closer to reality?"

Herta lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Alright, I'll tell Screwllum and Ruan Mei what you just said and ask for their opinions."

Then she remembered something else and looked up to ask:

"By the way, how long will you be staying at the Space Station?"

After a moment of thought, Jiang Lin replied: "I still have an experiment on Jarilo-VI."

"Alright."

After saying these two words, the puppet became still.

Tsk, she left quite suddenly... Jiang Lin also didn't plan to stay here long, as the main purpose of his visit to the Herta Space Station had been accomplished.

After activating a few more anchor points, Jiang Lin took out his phone and sent Herta a message.

"Jiang Lin: I plan to leave."

"Herta: Alright. By the way, be careful of Borka Kakame. She's definitely got her eyes on you."

"Jiang Lin: Thanks for your concern, I'll be careful."

"Herta: Who's concerned about you? I'm just worried you'll die too soon, and the Stellaron won't reach my hands. Wouldn't that mean I'd lose half the payment for lending you the Simulated Universe?"

"Herta: Oh, I told Ruan Mei and the others about your idea. They don't have any objections, and we plan to give it a try."

"Herta: If it doesn't work, we can always change it back."

"Jiang Lin: If your Simulated Universe really discovers something, remember to send me a copy of the results."

"Herta: Alright."

After reading Herta's messages, Jiang Lin put away his phone.

Just as he was about to "borrow" a fast ship from a Space Station staff member, he sensed something... Stelle was in some trouble. She had called out to him just now, but then there was no further sound.

Jiang Lin frowned and looked down at the ground... His gaze pierced through the layers of obstacles beneath his feet, reaching Stelle in the Storage Zone.

And opposite Stelle was a giant bug.

Stelle's beautiful face was exceptionally serious at this moment, completely focused and wary of the large bug in front of her.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, then decided to try the power of that Light Cone.

Light burst from his left hand, and then a longbow instantly materialized in his left hand.

As his right hand drew it back, a light arrow gradually condensed... When Jiang Lin truly used this power in reality, he found that it was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Jiang Lin could feel that he didn't need to aim; as long as he locked onto the target in his mind, the light arrow would inevitably hit.

Jiang Lin didn't hesitate and directly locked onto that bug... And at the same time Jiang Lin locked on, the bug seemed to sense something and began to stir restlessly.

This instantly put Stelle, and Veritas Ratio who was secretly observing, on high alert. Just as the Doctor of Ratio was about to make a move...

A light arrow fell upon its head... And Herta, who was still in a meeting, instantly detected this disturbance. At this moment, she was also somewhat surprised and uncertain...

"At least the Path of the hunt power of an Emanator-level? Has the Xianzhou Alliance attacked?"
