Chapter 301

The specific situation is still unclear. If alarming rumors spread under these circumstances, it could make the already difficult situation even more uncontrollable.

Meanwhile, Jilin also learned from Hua about the calamity that he and the others were about to face.

"You mean, powerful magical beasts will invade our homeland in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Jilin's eyes widened instinctively—although she had realized that things would be very serious, she hadn't really thought they would be this serious.

How terrifying must a monster be to be described as "powerful" even by the gods descending from the heavens?

You have to understand that the monsters they are facing now are already a headache enough, and it's just that their numbers are relatively small. If there were more, the current situation would probably be several times worse.

"Yes, but there's no need to worry too much; that's exactly why we're here."

Hua nodded, comforting them, "We brought the 'Heavenly Book,' which can help you grow quickly so you can cope with this calamity."

"Can't you just take action directly?"

With a hint of expectation in his eyes, Jilin asked, "If you could personally intervene, then the magical beast should..."

"I'm sorry, this is a calamity for humanity, and it's difficult for us to intervene directly."

Hua shook his head. "If we get involved directly, it will only cause a backlash from heaven and earth, making things even more serious."

"I see."

Jilin sighed softly, then quickly composed himself and put on a serious expression. "Then, I humbly request that you, the gods, bestow upon us the 'Heavenly Book'!"

"Don't be impatient,"

Hua shook his head. "We will stay here for a while longer. The 'Heavenly Book' can be taught to you at any time, but before that, you should fulfill your duties as a leader, shouldn't you?"

Jilin paused for a moment, then revealed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, she let out a long breath. "I was a little flustered. Please wait a moment while I go and discuss it with you all."

Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief after Jilin's figure disappeared.

"Phew, I was pretty nervous even though I didn't say a word."

Kiana also showed a relieved expression, "Class monitor, as expected of you! If it were me, I might have been exposed."

"Huh? Is it over?"

Pardofelis looked bewildered, then leaned back, "So, can I go to sleep now...?"

"Wait a minute, Pardo, you can't sleep yet!"

Seeing this scene, Hua couldn't help but smile slightly, but then she became serious and communicated with Ai Yue in her heart. "Is this alright, Mr. Ai Yue?"

"Yes, it's perfect, no need to worry too much."

Ai Yue said, "You just need to do your own thing, and others will naturally help you make up for the rest."

"Next, it's time for the simulation game part."

Chapter Six was created quickly, so it's not a mistake either.

What is Heavenly Book?

To Jilin and other people of the Pre-Civilization, the Heavenly Book was a gift from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden from the celestial world. It was a square stone slab as pure and white as jade. As long as one held it in their hand and silently recited the question they had, they could get the answer.

However, Hua and the others knew that this was just weak AI response device created by Ai Yue using his powers. Not only was its intelligence level relatively low, but the knowledge it contained was also limited to a rather superficial range to prevent it from having too much impact on the current civilization.

Of course, even so, the value of the "Heavenly Book" is of paramount importance to Shenzhou. With it, many problems that have troubled people can be answered. Moreover, in a sense, the device made by Ai Yue himself may even be more valuable than the "Heavenly Book" in the general sense.

Moreover, with the existence of the "Heavenly Book," not only can Kiana and others not stay here indefinitely to answer questions about the development of civilization, but people of this era can also control the speed of civilization's development themselves, which can be considered a relatively convenient way to be lazy.

However, while the "Heavenly Book" could promote the development of civilization, it was still difficult to change the weakness and powerlessness of mankind in the face of "Chi You". Therefore, in order to change this situation and fill the gap in the Xuanyuan Sword, Ai Yue specially crafted a "Heavenly Sword" and presented it to Jilin along with the Heavenly Book.

This Heavenly Sword is not only a sharp divine weapon capable of cutting through gold and jade, but it also possesses a certain "Aurora Armor" ability, which can provide the user with a suit of energy-constructed armor. Although its strength cannot compare with the one Kiana possesses, it is sufficient for the difficulties currently facing Shenzhou.

Of course, to fit the character's persona, the sword was given the restriction that it "cannot be used against humans" to prevent it from being used in internal human conflicts.

"So, is that enough?"

After a brief seven-day stay, Kiana and her two companions left the Real World again and returned to the observation center where Seele was.

Hua stared intently at the screen, a hint of worry in his voice.

Although she has carried out many missions, large and small, none have had such a profound impact on the future of civilization as this project.

It was precisely because of this pressure that Mr. Hua felt that there wasn't enough time; seven days was still too short.

If she could, she would love to be like her original self in the original timeline, truly accompanying the continuous development of the Shenzhou Land civilization, since her lifespan is long enough to support her in fulfilling this wish.

Unfortunately, Ai Yue did not agree.

"Don't worry, as I said, the timeline itself has the ability to self-repair. In this process, we only need to provide some assistance."

Ai Yue comforted the other person, "Besides, if you have to do the same thing in this completely new timeline, then what's the point of me coming here?"

If it weren't for the fact that such a position was necessary in the plan, Ai Yue would never have intended to involve Hua—he originally wanted to change the other's life, which was completely consumed by a heavy mission, and naturally wouldn't allow the other to spend all his time on this again.

"Don't worry, Sister Hua."

Seele added, "From the current observations, everything is going smoothly, which means our current plan is fine. We just need to wait and see."

As Seele said, with the blessing of the "Heavenly Book" and the "Heavenly Sword," the development of Shenzhou civilization is progressing steadily.

With the blessing of "heavenly knowledge," Jilin and others gradually mastered advanced metal smelting technology, and made great progress in agricultural and sericulture techniques, as well as textile technology. In just a few years, the scale of the entire civilization increased by fifty percent.

With the Heavenly Sword as a force to fight against the Honkai Beast, Jilin began her own "personal expedition." She not only eliminated all the Honkai Beast entrenched around the tribe, but also expanded the safe zone to three times its original size, ensuring that civilization had enough space to develop.

The price was that Lian Shan had to take Jilin's place in the central government and deal with the seemingly endless internal affairs, and even his medical research had to be temporarily put on hold.

Fortunately, with the help of the "Heavenly Book," he didn't need to worry about the development of the medical field at all. After all, for the Heavenly Book, which itself contained detailed information about various plants, Lian Shan's method of personally tasting them was not only inefficient but also extremely risky.

However, the real surprise was yet to come.

"Squad leader, look at that!"

As time fast-forwarded to a certain point, Kiana suddenly pointed to one of the scenes and looked at Hua, asking, "Did you teach this?"

In the scene, Jilin is teaching something to others, and after a moment, the other party raises his arm, releasing a faint white light from his palm.

It was clearly a fluctuation of Power of Light —but Kiana and the others knew very well that currently, there were only a handful of people in the entire Shenzhou region who were capable of controlling the Power of Light.

But what they were seeing told them that the facts were not unchangeable.

"I did teach Jilin how to use his own power."

Hua nodded first, then shook his head. "But this method involves exploring one's own potential, so it has nothing to do with my teachings... I'm afraid Jilin figured it out on his own."

"There's nothing surprising about it. Humans in this era are born with the Power of Light hidden within them, it's just that the initial strength varies."

Ai Yue didn't seem to care. "This scene was bound to happen sooner or later, but it's a bit too early for it to happen now."

"This is probably what human wisdom is all about."

Kiana couldn't help but sigh, "But in that case, it seems there's not much need to worry about them."

If only Jilin possessed the Power of Light, then fighting against Chi You would indeed be quite difficult. But now it seems that Chi You will be facing an army that possesses the Power of Light, and with Elysia's covert manipulation, the outcome of this battle seems to be self-evident.

However, despite saying that, everyone remained vigilant. After all, no one could guarantee how things would develop until the very moment they happened. So, although they breathed a sigh of relief, Kiana and the others continued to observe the developments on the screen intently.

Only Pardofelis, who was in the corner, had quietly disappeared.

"Brother Yue, what are we going to do?"

Back in the space of the Cocoon of Finality, Pardofelis wagged her tail with anticipation. It was Ai Yue who had asked her to carry out the mission, which immediately roused the usually lazy Pardofelis.

"It's simple, we need to go back."

Ai Yue smiled and said, "After all, we are severely short-handed right now. If we don't bring in more people, I'm afraid things will get even more difficult later on."

"Elysia, are you ready?"

"The preparations are complete,"

Elysia's voice hesitated slightly, "But will this really work?"

"Just do it with confidence, I'm here for you."

Ai Yue's tone was quite confident, "If that doesn't work, we'll leave the rest to Pardo to fill in the gaps."

"Since you've put it that way,"

As Elysia finished speaking, the surface of the Cocoon of Finality began to emit a strong purple light. "Then let's begin!"

Without hesitation, Ai Yue suddenly enveloped the Cocoon of the Cocoon of Finality with a strong white light, which intertwined with the purple light and eventually turned into a beautiful pink.

Within the area illuminated by the pink light, Pardofelis vaguely saw some blurry shadow.

However, she didn't have time to think about it, because at that moment Ai Yue's voice was entering her mind. "Pardo, charge into the Cocoon of Finality!"

Before the girl could respond, her body moved instinctively, crashing into the Cocoon of Finality at a tremendous speed.

What does it feel like to enter the Cocoon of Finality? If someone were to ask Pardofelis this question right now, they would probably only get a bewildered look from the young girl.

The whole process was so fast that she didn't even have time to feel anything before she burst out from the other side of the Cocoon of Finality.

Did Brother Yue's plan fail?

Pardofelis felt a little flustered. After all, this was a task that Ai Yue had entrusted to her with great difficulty. If she failed like this, wouldn't she look useless?

Although she knew she was really useless, she still had to be of some use here!

However, the girl quickly came to her senses and realized that something was wrong with her surroundings—on the Cocoon of Finality behind her, there was a huge ring-shaped mechanical device, and this thing called the Imaginary Gate was something that the Cocoon of Finality on the other side did not have.

They really made it! Although I don't understand the underlying principles, Brother Yue's plan succeeded!

Realizing this, Pardofelis breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard Aponia's voice. "Pardo? Why are you back?"

With a voice resounding from the depths of her heart, Aponia's figure emerged from within the Cocoon of Finality and stood before Pardofelis. But then she widened her eyes in surprise, as if she saw something else in Pardofelis: "Ai Yue?"

"It's me,"

Ai Yue replied briefly, "Approximately how much time has passed since we left this place?"

"Currently, it will take about ten months."

Aponia quickly created a mental chat room and pulled Mobius was temporarily unable to move while inside the Cocoon of Finality, into it. "Is there something you need to do after you came back this time?"

"More than that, I'm curious about how you got back."

Mobius asked curiously, "Was that intense energy fluctuation in the Cocoon of Finality just now also caused by you?"

"Well, to put it simply, it takes advantage of the uniqueness of the Cocoon of Finality."

Ai Yue replied, then seemed to ponder for a moment, "However, ten months have passed?"

Unlike the Solar System, the Cocoon of Finality is attached to the true Imaginary Tree. No matter how many branches of parallel worlds are born, it is unique. In any parallel world, one can reach the space where the Cocoon of Finality is located, but those are just projections left by the true Cocoon of Finality in parallel worlds.

But just as changes in the entity can affect the projection, the projection itself can also be used to trace the entity.

Ai Yue used this characteristic to send Pardofelis back from another world, and he was also able to use the consciousness attached to Pardofelis to communicate with Aponia and the others.

"What's wrong? Do you think it's taking too long?"

"If you knew that, then come back sooner," Mobius asked, a hint of resentment in his voice.

Although Mobius understood and supported Ai Yue's plan, she was still very unhappy about not being able to see him for ten months and held a grudge about it.

"So I came back immediately after confirming that there were no problems over there."

Ai Yue quickly reassured the other party, and then said, "However, it's not that the time is too long, but that the time is too short—according to my estimate, it should take twice as long at this point."

Although it seems that it didn't take too long from entering the Imaginary Tree to creating a new Solar System, and now to gradually getting Jilin's tribe on the right track, this has actually been the time change from Kiana's and others' perspective.

For Ai Yue, who is temporarily able to use superdimensional power, he is very aware of just how long the "moment" of creating the Solar System actually was.

However, since the Post-Civilization is still in the process of reorganizing its timeline and has not fully returned to normal, the time flow on both sides will not be aligned. But in any case, a ten-month gap is still a bit short.

"If it takes longer than you estimated,"

Aponia asked with some doubt, "Could it be that there's a discrepancy in the location of the gods?"

"I've also been thinking about this issue. For example, the newly formed Solar System is not perfect, and the area it creates is only a quarter of the original size."

Ai Yue was also a little conflicted, but then he put the issue aside for the time being. "Let's not talk about that for now. The main reason I came back this time is to bring a few more people over to help."

"I knew it long ago,"

Mobius replied matter-of-factly, "I've already informed Dr. Mei and the others, and I should be able to gather them up soon—but perhaps there aren't enough people?"

Even if you include Dr. Mei, the retired Hen, and even Sakura's sister Ling, the number of people Ai Yue can truly trust is no more than twenty. But now he is facing an entire planet's civilization, and the gap between them seems enormous.
