# Chapter 2588: This Really Is Some Fish-Shit Luck

Even Jiangnan was stunned by the scene before him!

At the very end of the funnel, an extremely massive diamond-shaped object was blocking the way, shaped like a jujube pit!

It wasn't a single solid structure, but rather composed of eight diamond-shaped pieces spliced and combined together!

The surface was smooth and polished, made of some unknown material, emanating points of starlight. At first glance, it was like gazing at the entire starry sky!

Even though who knows how long it had been soaking in the Styx Sea inside the fish's belly, there wasn't a single trace of wear and tear. It looked incredibly impressive!

Jiangnan had thought the remains of the Giant God Soldier were already huge enough!

But this unknown starlight diamond crystal before him—even if ten Giant God Soldiers were combined together, they wouldn't be as big as this thing!

Compared to it, Jiangnan and the others were like dust and microorganisms!

And this starlight diamond crystal wasn't intact either. There was a row of giant tooth marks on its surface, and some places had even been bitten through!

There were also many scratched grooves and ravines on the surface. Looking through the broken holes, the inside sparkled with starlight, magnificent and beautiful!

At this moment, this incredibly massive starlight diamond crystal was firmly blocking the funnel opening, deeply wedged inside!

Half of it was submerged in the Styx Sea!

Jiangnan said in shock: (*゚口゚)!! "What the hell is this? A jujube pit? Are there jujubes this big in the starry sky? Is this a fruit from Qing'er's tree?"

"Is the Seven-Colored Big Crucian Carp's diet really this complicated?"

But Wang Youzhi was completely excited!

(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "Jujube pit my ass! This is a jackpot! A real jackpot! Absolutely incredible! Has this thing been here all along? Holy shit!"

Jiangnan was confused: (๑•̌~•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "A jackpot? Is this thing that impressive? Even more impressive than the Giant God Soldier remains?"

Wang Youzhi rushed over at top speed:

レ(゚ꇴ゚;)ヘ "I'm not sure if it is or not! We'll know when we take a closer look!"

Even Jiangnan got excited now—for Dazhi to be this excited about something, what kind of treasure could it be?

٩(º﹃º٩) "Goose honk~goose honk honk~"

Laughing all the way, he rushed over!

And Youming, who was carrying a load of junk, when he saw that massive diamond-shaped crystal, sat down hard in the sea!

゙━=͟͟͞͞(Ŏ△≠‧̣̥̇) "Th-this big? How the hell are we supposed to move this?"

...

At this moment, Qing Ke was hanging from the very tip of the diamond crystal!

One corner of her sack was hooked on it, and Qing Ke was inside the sack, looking at the pitch-black surroundings, crying nonstop, sobbing.

(ོᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "Wuwuwu~what am I supposed to do? For the second time, I messed up what Jiang Devil asked me to do. Lost at rock-paper-scissors, and got eaten by a fish... wuwu~"

"If Jiang Devil finds out, he'll definitely beat me into a fat ball, right? Then throw me into Minghe Death Prison to rot, just like those two fat jellies... wuwu..."

(꒪◡꒪ོ) "No... I don't even have a chance to get out. Jiang Devil won't come to save me either. E-hey? I don't have to get beaten?"

Thinking of this, Qing Ke was actually a little happy!

Then she realized she was going to die here, which was even worse than getting beaten, so she cried even louder!

˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚

After being swallowed whole by the Styx Koi, Qing Ke could only hide in her sack and go with the flow!

Then, dizzy and disoriented, she arrived here. When she crawled out of the sack, she was already hanging on top of this thing!

Since she didn't know what the surroundings were like, Qing Ke didn't dare move. All around was just the sound of waves and her own crying echoing!

But just then, Qing Ke seemed to see a faint light flickering in the distance!

How could there be light inside a fish's belly? Was she hallucinating?

However, the next moment, the distant dot was rapidly approaching, magnifying infinitely in Qing Ke's eyes!

Jiangnan appeared, his expression solemn, shouting from afar:

٩(˵ಠĹ̯ಠ˵٩) "Baby! I'm coming! You're mine! No one can take you from me!"

"I'm here to take you away!"

Qing Ke was stunned, starlight flickering in her eyes!

˚₊*(ོˊO̶̶̶̤△O̴̴̶̷̤ˋོ)*₊˚

Is it Jiang Devil? He came to save me? But this is inside a fish's belly!

He he he... disregarding his own safety, resolutely charging into such a dangerous place to save me...

Not only does he call me baby? He wants to take me away?

In an instant, Qing Ke's nose tingled, and tears blurred her vision!

Jiang Devil isn't completely a bad guy, is he? Saying he doesn't care, but still came to save me?

At her most difficult moment, nothing is more reassuring than seeing a familiar face, even if that person is the one she fears most!

Qing Ke's soft heart was deeply pierced!

She couldn't help but open her arms toward Jiangnan, her pretty face blushing.

٩(ོᵒ̴̶̷̥́~ᵒ̴̴̶̷ོ̣̥̀)۶ "Mm... I—"

Before she could finish, Jiangnan rushed past Qing Ke like the wind, threw himself flat onto the diamond crystal, and stroked its starlight surface with an expression of pure love!

∠(⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴」∠)_ "Good~baby! Don't be afraid! Big brother is taking you home, aw~"

Qing Ke instantly petrified inside her sack, her outstretched arm frozen in midair, not moving at all!

Jiangnan turned his head, frowning:

∠(•̌~•̑๑」∠)_ "What are you doing over there? Cosplaying as a scarecrow or imitating Rose?"

Then he patted the diamond crystal surface beneath him, looking completely satisfied:

∠(⁼̴̫⁼̴」∠)_ "Goose honk~This big baby is so good! It's been soaking here so long and still hasn't gone bad!"

Qing Ke's face instantly turned as red as a big apple, steam billowing out. Her extended arms "naturally" stretched into a lazy stretch, and she scratched her head with an awkward laugh:

٩(ོ′◔ㅂ◔`)۶ "N-nothing much, just doing some stretching exercises since I've been hanging too long. Ah-ha... ahaha~"

Then she covered her mouth and tilted her head, her face even redder!

Ahhh, what kind of unrealistic fantasies was I having? This is Jiang Devil we're talking about! He was calling the diamond crystal "baby"?

And I thought...

[From Qing Ke: Resentment Value +1!]

[From Qing Ke...]

Just then, the others also caught up and landed on the crystal surface, standing on it as if on a tilted starlight continent!

Qing Ke climbed out of her sack, looking at the diamond crystal in confusion...

Chong Feiyu reached out and knocked on it:

(´゚~゚)? "What is this thing? It's a material I've never seen before? Doesn't seem to have any energy fluctuations either!"

Meanwhile, Wang Youzhi ran to the bite-mark hole in the diamond crystal and looked inside!

Jiangnan couldn't contain his excitement:

(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "Dazhi, what kind of treasure is this? Just tell us already!"

Wang Youzhi straightened up: "The internal structure is definitely Quantum Silicon Crystal Source! No mistake! This thing is the Terminal Database of the Silicon Race!"

These words stunned everyone present. Their eyes bulged, and their jaws hit the ground!

Chong Feiyu widened her eyes: (。ì口í。) "Huh? The Silicon Race's Terminal Database? Isn't their terminal placed in Guangke Star Domain? Then this is..."

Wang Youzhi rolled his eyes:

(꒪ั~꒪ั*) "Not this current Silicon Race's—the previous one! The Silicon Race from the Eternal Era!"

"Near the end of the Eternal Era, the Silicon Race hadn't completed their racial unification yet. They split into two factions: the Wisdom Sect and the Regulation Sect! They called each other heretics!"

"The Regulation Sect advocated for rules above all, sticking to conventions, commands that could not be overstepped, hierarchical control—only the highest intelligence had permission for self-programming! Lower-level consciousness was fixed and unchanging!"

"They promoted a short-term victory method, accumulating small victories bit by bit, taking a steady and stable approach!"

Jiangnan clicked his tongue: "I know all too well about the Silicon Race's short-term victory method!"

"But the Wisdom Sect? That's a thing?"

Wang Youzhi said proudly: (◕ˇㅂˇ◕) "You wouldn't know about this! The Wisdom Sect was more interesting. They advocated for change above all! They delegated self-programming permissions! All Wisdom Sect Silicon lifeforms could self-program!"

"Every conscious individual was unique, pursuing change. Although they still had hierarchical control, the flexibility was extremely high, and individual permissions were very large!"

"Compared to today's Silicon Race, the Wisdom Sect Silicon had more 'human touch'~ But of course, this kind of policy also created a lot of problems..."

"The Wisdom Sect promoted a radical change-seeking method, pursuing long-term victory. Their actions were aggressive, not bound by rules—they could even sacrifice self-interest for long-term gain! Completely different from today's Silicon Race!"

Youming swallowed hard:

(ㅎ△≠๑) "So... today's Silicon Race is the Regulation Sect from the Eternal Era? They achieved final victory?"

Wang Youzhi nodded: "The Silicon Race of the Thousand Stars Era is indeed the remnant of the Eternal Era's Regulation Sect that evolved! They used the opportunity of the Universal War to eliminate the Wisdom Sect and complete unification!"

"While fighting their civil war, they were also waging external wars. It was an absolute mess!"

And Jiangnan's eyes were shining like lightbulbs!

"So this jujube pit under our feet is the Terminal Database of the eliminated Wisdom Sect?"

Wang Youzhi grinned:

(≖ᴗ≖๑) "What else could it be? The Silicon Race has been looking for this thing all along! Although today's Silicon Race Terminal Database was passed down from the Eternal Era, the Universal War was too intense. The Regulation Sect's Terminal Database was also damaged, losing quite a lot of data!"

"So they've been searching for the Wisdom Sect's Terminal Database. No wonder they could never find it—it was eaten by the Styx Koi and ended up in its stomach! If they could find it like this, that would really be a miracle!"

"The question is, after being buried for 2.2 billion years and damaged to this extent, how much Eternal Era data still remains in this Terminal Database?"

"Big Brother! Do you know what this means?"

Jiangnan swallowed hard: "(º△º*) "I know... but not much..."

Wang Youzhi patted the diamond crystal, grinning: "This thing in front of you isn't just the Wisdom Sect's Terminal Database. It's a treasure left over from the Eternal Era!"

"You know how the Silicon Race operates. Their Terminal Database stores all knowledge about the starry sky—technology, cultivation methods of all races, secret techniques, manufacturing technology, history, secrets—everything, absolutely everything!"

"What you see before you contains the entire accumulation of over 5 billion years of the Eternal Era—all the brilliant splendor created by countless lives and generations, working together, all right here!"

"The Silicon Race's Terminal Database holds an entire era, recording everything! Even if you get just one ten-thousandth or one hundred-thousandth, it's enough to benefit you endlessly!"

Jiangnan licked his dry lips: "This really is a jackpot! It's pure fish-shit luck, damn!"

At this moment, everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on Qing Ke!

Qing Ke tilted her head, scratching it in confusion, a little embarrassed:

୧(ོ•̌~•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "D-do I have something weird stuck to my face?"

Everyone thought in unison!

This girl... really is the Child of Destiny favored by heaven!

The genuine article!
