The Author here: Just want to drop some details: This book is all about making stuff; pills, artefacts, formations. Starting with pills. So you can expect opposite to typical xianxia stuff, mc is not homeless who travels all the time. Its partially Sect/Kingdom building story as Mc assist his place and makes his girls strong. This is a Harem story with a bunch of lemons. And for the twist, There will be a bunch of Mc/villains that are running around the world that are trying to do their thing but constantly fail thanks to Mc' 'anomaly' status.

You will find out in couple chapters 😏

Though typical act of 'dual cultivation' 😏

Well, yeah. It has to start somewhere; he lusts after her, and she needs his talent, so it's a transaction. But as they interact more, it starts to evolve 🤷🏻

its a novel, not a fic, and check my profile page

Auxillary chapter

sure 👍

That's the machine efficiency part. The Whole trap of Mass Relays was designed to harvest civilisation as quickly as possible. And they do start immediately adjust the moment the trap and efficiency fell. Thats the whole ME2 plotline. Once Sovereign was destroyed they started harvesting humans specifically to understand how a human destroyed the 'apex' model. It's a machine and it learns, like any AI would. its the whole plotline in my fic as well. Sovereign awakens, learns that things didn't went the way it should be and it starts develop a power base 🤷🏻

That's assuming that Reapers don't adjust to the current state of affairs. Reapers have accumulated knowledge of thousands if not millions of civilisations and at it's core is a cold machine that looks how to exploit the organic races. it will simply adapt to the threat, improve tech, and will try to harvest the Empire differently. The thing is reapers won't stop...ever, if one reapers survives and flies off to fringes of space it will rebuilt in some way or fashion, those things will not stop as its their programming. so concluding that they are 'weak' because what one saw in the game is wrong way looking at it. it's a self aware AI intelligence, they never improved beyond certain point because they never needed. That can change 😮‍💨

chapter 107, and chapter 108, there should one before that where Marcus meets Gene before that. but's ancient, ancient history by this point 🤷🏻
