The IIB matrix model has been proposed as a non-perturbative definition of superstring theory since 1996. We study a simplified model that describes the late time behavior of the IIB matrix model non-perturbatively using Monte Carlo methods, and we use the complex Langevin method to overcome the sign problem. We investigate a scenario where the space--time signature changes dynamically from Euclidean at early times to Lorentzia at late times. We discuss the possibility of the emergence of the (3+1)D expanding universe.
