When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 1097 - 399: Fighting for a Better Future

At the very beginning, Stars Cluster Girl and Radiant were implanted with an absolute obedience directive.

She diligently contributed to the Harvester Civilization's pursuit of the end of the life evolution path.

While monitoring those cultivated civilizations, she also searched for new universes suitable as plantations.

And so, after one harvesting event after another, an accident happened.

Stars Cluster Girl discovered a new universe, where there existed a universe treasure just like her, and upon fusion with it, a consciousness truly her own was born.

She no longer wanted to work for the Harvester Civilization.

After working hard for so many generations without reaping any benefits, what worker could endure such a grievance?

However, she didn't dare openly rebel, as there was no way she could challenge the mighty Harvester Civilization on her own.

She could only continue working for the Harvester Civilization, all while pretending to be very obedient.

Of course, during her work, Stars Cluster Girl was always pondering how she could escape the control of the Harvester Civilization.

Because the Harvester Civilization would regularly check her data to ensure nothing was wrong with the plantations, she couldn't rebel by strengthening her own power.

If she chose that path, she would most likely be discovered and eliminated for abnormalities before she grew strong enough to resist the Harvester Civilization.

After much thought, Stars Cluster Girl decided to seek outside assistance.

Of course, ordinary outside help would not work.

Especially not those from the Plantation Universe.

All intelligent beings from the Plantation Universe contain genes deliberately left by the Harvester Civilization.

If you ask them for help, even if they are powerful enough to defeat the Harvester Civilization in a fair contest, the Harvester Civilization could easily eliminate such threats by deploying gene weapons without needing to adhere to ethics.

Therefore, Stars Cluster Girl's plan was to find helpers in those newly discovered universes that have not been researched by the Harvester Civilization.

"This was my original intention for developing 'Above the Stars'!"

Stars Cluster Girl tapped on the blackboard.

She said that she officially began implementing her plan after finding the universe Bai Fu was from before transmigrating.

She first selected ten Plantation Universes where the Harvesters wouldn't descend for some time, and "packaged" these Plantation Universes into so-called online games.

It's worth mentioning that each version update of the "game" is not only to make it look more like a real game but also to deceive the Harvester Civilization.

Stars Cluster Girl would pause the game before the Harvester Civilization came to check, sending the players back to their original universes and disguising the data to some extent, thereby preventing the Harvester Civilization from noticing any anomalies.

After completing the first step of preparations, Stars Cluster Girl selected ten more promising civilizations in the universe where Bai Fu used to be, launching game advertisements for them—this included the civilization Bai Fu was from before transmigrating.

Being a "virtual reality game" with 100% realism, the advertisement easily attracted a large number of players the moment it was released.

These players eagerly entered the game, exploring the vast game world and marveling at it.

Little did they know, while engrossed in it, that what they were playing was not a game, but a real world!

Bai Fu asked, "So your ultimate goal is to nurture these players to help you deal with the Harvester Civilization?"

Stars Cluster Girl shook her head, "Of course not, the resources and permissions I possess are inadequate to cultivate an army capable of shaking the Harvester Civilization."

"Then what do you intend to do?"

"My goal is to cultivate a set of Super Genes, use these Super Genes to deceive the Harvester Civilization into thinking that this is the correct path of evolution, leading them to integrate Super Genes into themselves."

"But in reality, this set of Super Genes is a 'poison' capable of destroying the Harvester Civilization?"

"Exactly, just like what you're thinking!"

Stars Cluster Girl seemed very excited.

"However, an unexpected occurrence happened during the implementation of the plan, and that unexpected element is you! You were supposed to be just like the other players, but during the login process, your soul accidentally crossed the universe's boundary and was reincarnated in this world. This is interesting, even more so as you quickly found a way to climb up in such an environment and truly succeeded. After discovering this, I left a mark on An Ya, allowing me to observe you at all times and provide some little assistance during game updates."

"Even so, I didn't really believe you could genuinely grow because there are too many variables in the universe. But your existence inspired me, I think beings like you could be more valuable than players, so after that, I also released some 'transmigrators' similar to you in the other nine 'games'."

As she spoke, Stars Cluster Girl on the virtual screen suddenly raised her hands, and the sound of fireworks crackled beside her.

"Congratulations, among all the 'transmigrators,' you're still the one who has progressed the fastest and most steadily!"

Bai Fu was momentarily speechless, feeling that Stars Cluster Girl was quite the drama queen.

"Alright, alright, don't look like that, I'm just trying to lighten the mood." Stars Cluster Girl waved her hand, "Let's get back to business. Firstly, I must remind you that the reaper's descent mechanism you've summarized has a flaw, and a major one at that!"

Bai Fu asked, "What flaw?"

Stars Cluster Girl explained, "You thought as long as you didn't touch the Power Red Line, the Harvesters would never descend, but that's wrong. In fact, the Reaper's Descent Mechanism has two red lines. The first red line is the Power Red Line you thought of, while the other one is the Time Red Line. Harvesters won't wait indefinitely; if the civilizations planted in the plantation take too long to blossom and bear fruit, the Harvesters will consider this season's civilizations to be useless and will destroy them all the moment the Time Red Line arrives, then deploy new ones."

Ah?

Bai Fu's pupils suddenly constricted.

That would mean Ignatius's idea of establishing a new order to ensure the continuous survival of civilization was never truly feasible from the start?

Luckily, Ignatius is already dead; otherwise, knowing this would have driven him insane.

Indeed, faced with the oppression of enemies, compromising and evading never solve the problem fundamentally; at best, they only turn sudden death into a slow demise.

Fighting back is the only way!

Stars Cluster Girl's expression became serious, "I've almost covered the story of the events. Now, we come to the most crucial issue, Bai Fu, are you willing to cooperate with me against the Harvester Civilization? Rest assured, I won't coerce you; if you're unwilling, you can outright refuse. To deal with the Harvester Civilization, we must achieve true unity of mind. I need you to have a chance to overthrow the Harvesters, and similarly, without the knowledge I possess, you also won't be able to defeat the Harvesters."

"However, I must remind you, the power of the Harvesters isn't as formidable as imagined. They're mighty, but not to the extent of transcending the universe; otherwise, they wouldn't be so obsessed with pursuing the perfect evolutionary path. If a single fight were to occur, most Harvesters wouldn't even withstand a single blow from you, they just advanced early and far."

Bai Fu didn't rush to give Stars Cluster Girl an answer but instead asked a question, "How long is it until the Time Red Line for the Harvester's descent in this universe?"

Stars Cluster Girl answered, "There are still over twenty thousand years. If you choose not to cooperate, you can enjoy a life spanning over twenty thousand years. If you agree, then our fates will be bound together, and how long we live depends on whether we can succeed in passing through the challenge posed by the Harvester Civilization."

Bai Fu nodded, "I roughly understand." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The answer was actually simple; she would fight the Harvesters to the end.

Not fighting would lead to the inevitable extinction of civilization, while fighting brings a glimmer of hope for continuation.

Why not choose to fight?

Miss this opportunity, and it might be impossible to contact Stars Cluster Girl again.

Bai Fu extended her right hand.

"I choose to cooperate, tell me your plan."
