Life Simulation: I Caused the Female Sword Immortal to Regret Forever

[The evolution of Ailei’s machine soul still hinders her daily actions.]

[She cannot control herself normally, assist you as before, or manage the intricate operations of the starship fleet.]

[Even the simple task of serving water has become a challenge for her.]

[You comfort the machine maid with a smile, telling her not to worry.]

[She listens to your words.]

[Two more months pass, and Ailei’s “illness” finally heals. Her previously surging computing power stabilizes, flowing orderly through the starship fleet’s database.]

[At the same time, you build a new body for Ailei. While there are no major technological upgrades, its capacity to bear her processing power has significantly increased.]

[You name it Ailei Unit 2.]

[Ailei integrates into the new body and once again takes control of the starship fleet’s operations. In an instant, you feel the immense power of her evolved machine soul.]

[The complex starship fleet now operates under a more efficient and simplified command system.]

[Energy, materials, weapons, and defense systems all see significant improvements.]

[You are thrilled, believing that with Ailei’s help, technological progress will soar, and you will soon reach even brighter starfields.]

“Ailei, how do you feel?”

“Everything is running smoothly, Master.”

The new body looks identical to the previous one—long black hair with a golden sheen, delicate facial features, and flawless artificial skin.

Aside from the reinforced internal materials, everything remains the same.

Ailei opens her eyes, revealing the familiar silver-blue pupils. There is now brightness and warmth in them, unlike the previous dullness during her unstable state.

With Xu Xi’s help, Ailei carefully sits up on the metal table, moving her new body.

“Thank you,” she says with a radiant smile.

Xu Xi sensed that after the evolution of her machine soul, Ailei had become even more human-like.

The richness of her emotions and even the transformation of her consciousness have reached a new level.

Curious, Xu Xi asked Ailei if she felt anything different after the evolution.

Her response remained the same: “I can serve you even better in the future.”

Loyalty.

The surge in processing power has made the machine maid’s abilities even more formidable, yet the first thing she thinks about is still serving Xu Xi.

She even planned to upgrade the ecological starship to provide him with a more comfortable living environment.

Xu Xi chuckled, “There’s no need for that.”

“I’m quite satisfied with my current living conditions. Instead of modifying the ecological starship, it’s better to focus on other research.”

He reached out his hand and habitually ruffled Ailei’s hair. The familiar texture felt just as good as ever.

…

[All this time, you had been worried about Ailei’s “illness.”]

[Although you knew it was a harmless evolution, seeing your fragile machine maid made you instinctively concerned.]

[But now, witnessing Ailei back to normal, you finally feel at ease.]

[You think it’s time to restart the starship fleet’s propulsion systems and embark on another journey through the cosmos.]

[However, just as you prepare to return to your research, Ailei stops you.]

“Please wait, Master.”

“Hmm? What is it, Ailei?”

Turning around, Xu Xi saw Ailei quickly catching up to him.

“I have something important to tell you,” she said in a calm yet gentle tone, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she spoke.

What she shared next was an unbelievable phenomenon—an unexpected side effect of her evolution.

After recovering from her illness, Ailei gained not only immense processing power but also something even more inexplicable.

“Master, please look…”

Ailei gently took Xu Xi’s hand, wrapping his fingers in her artificial palm.

Buzz…

Buzzing…

A strange sound echoes in his ears, starting faint but growing louder and more intense.

And then, something miraculous happened.

Upon contact with Ailei, Xu Xi entered an entirely new perspective.

The fabric of space-time seemed to shatter like a mirror, forming deep cracks that reveal a deeper level of reality.

Xu Xi saw it.

He saw an infinite amount of chaotic, interwoven information.

Within Ailei’s machine body, pale blue data flows, glowing softly with a brilliant radiance.

But in stark contrast, within the starship fleet, countless red light clusters have appeared out of nowhere.

They continuously attempt to breach the starship’s core systems, only to be repelled by Ailei’s blue energy barrier.

“Could this be the culprit behind the machine rebellion?”

Xu Xi is stunned.

Before he could think deeper, his perspective shifted and ascended rapidly.

Higher and higher, faster than electricity, quicker than light.

It felt as if two completely different programs had been opened on a screen, and his consciousness rapidly switched between his human viewpoint and the unique vision granted by Ailei.

He ascended to the highest point—until Ailei could no longer maintain the connection.

Xu Xi was forcibly ejected from the special perspective, his head throbbing, his mind dizzy and disoriented.

However, compared to what he just saw, the discomfort is trivial.

“What… was that?”

Once his body stabilized, with Ailei’s support, Xu Xi sat down and tried to recall what he saw.

Earlier, it felt as though he had been lifted to a higher dimension, observing the dark void of space from a god’s-eye view.

The stars appeared as tiny specks of light, weak and distant.

Everything within his line of sight was laid bare.

Even the long-abandoned Federation planet was within his observation range.

But those weren’t the most shocking things.

What truly astonished Xu Xi were the massive graveyards stretching across the distant void—an endless expanse of ruins and wreckage.

Mechanical debris.

Shattered celestial bodies.

It was… the remnants of countless civilizations.

And among them, Xu Xi saw the same red light clusters—possibly the root cause of the machine rebellion.

“Are they like divine reapers? Or perhaps demonic harvesters? Or could it be…”

Xu Xi couldn’t shake the thought of the infamous Dark Forest Theory.

Could there be an advanced interstellar civilization lurking in the shadows, hunting down newly emerging civilizations like a cosmic predator?

It was highly possible.

But with such limited information, he couldn’t confirm anything yet.

“Ailei, how did you do that?” Xu Xi finally asks, his expression filled with disbelief.

“I just… wanted to, so I did,” Ailei replies earnestly.

The loyal machine maid never lied to Xu Xi.

This strange new perspective was an unexpected gift from her machine soul’s evolution. Even she didn’t fully understand it.

And it consumed an enormous amount of energy.

“Master, Ailei is out of power,” she murmured softly before collapsing into Xu Xi’s arms.
