Chapter 302

"No, this is enough for now, since the situation is relatively stable at the moment."

Ai Yue smiled and said, "As for what happens next, I still have some immature ideas."

Chapter Seven: Your God Doesn't Want You Anymore.

The Thirteen Flame-Chasers responded quickly. Ai Yue had only chatted with Mobius for a few minutes when everyone had already gathered in the central hall of the Star of Light.

Only after Mobius used his access to the Cocoon of Finality to teleport them in did everyone realize that Ai Yue had actually returned.

"Well, so you're back, right?"

Having barely separated from Pardofelis, Ai Yue, appearing as a white figure, shrugged. "Of course, strictly speaking, my original body is still over there. This time, I'm just using Pardo as a communication antenna to communicate with you."

"So what's the situation over there now?"

Kevin's expression turned serious. "It seems like we need to help?"

"Simply put, things are relatively normal right now,"

Ai Yue briefly explained the current situation of the Post-Civilization, "However, civilizations in various regions need observation and guidance to continue. It is clear that Hua and his people alone are not enough."

In addition, the news he had just learned also made Ai Yue feel somewhat uneasy.

Although Ai Yue was still completely ignorant of the profound technology of creating the world, he still had a vague feeling that the process took too little time.

Although not everything that takes a long time to create is a masterpiece, if the production time is faster than expected, the finished product will most likely have some flaws. Although Ai Yue has not yet found out what is wrong with it, this does not prevent him from taking precautions and making preparations in advance.

After all, that's what he's always done.

"There's nothing wrong with me here."

Kevin hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "But if we all leave, the United Earth Government will definitely notice something is wrong."

"In fact, I suspect they've already noticed something's wrong,"

Sue added, "After all, you haven't shown your face for ten months. Even if Ai helped you cover it up during that time, a careful person should have noticed."

"Speaking of which, recently some viewers have indeed been asking me about you."

Hearing this, Eden couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression. "Now it seems that they came with the intention of testing us, right? But I haven't revealed anything about this plan, so please rest assured."

"I made such a big fuss back then, it was only a matter of time before I was exposed,"

Ai Yue waved his hand, not really caring. "At this stage, it doesn't really matter if we tell them. What's done is done anyway, and they might even help us cover it up."

"In that case, the last problem can be considered solved."

Kevin nodded. "When do we leave?"

"Anytime is fine."

Ai Yue said, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, judging by the time, your child should be over 100 days old now, right?"

Dr. Mei did not come this time, so Ai Yue guessed that she was probably at home taking care of her children.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the space suddenly became somewhat strange, and everyone's faces simultaneously revealed subtle expressions, as if they had heard something amusing.

"What's wrong?"

Ai Yue was somewhat bewildered, "Did I miscalculate the time?"

"No, you're right in theory."

Kevin sighed, his expression becoming somewhat subtle. "But in fact, May is still pregnant."

Ai Yue then understood why everyone had made those expressions earlier.

However, he quickly realized something and smiled, "That's a good thing."

The longer gestation period means that Kevin and Dr. Mei's child will be a truly natural new human being, which is of great significance to the evolution of the entire human race.

"That's what Mei said too, but..."

Kevin scratched his head, a somewhat helpless expression on his face. "I still don't really want my child to bear such heavy expectations."

"That feeling is understandable."

Ai Yue nodded. "But it's not a big problem. If all else fails, you can just take your wife and kids and run off to the other side of the world."

"That will have to wait until the plan is successfully implemented."

Kevin smiled and didn't continue the topic. "So let's focus on the important matter first."

Half an hour later, a group of representatives from various countries who were still dreaming were awakened by a series of urgent ringing bells. Without having time to rest, they quickly gathered in the newly built central conference hall of the United Earth Government.

"What's going on? A meeting at this hour?"

The North America representative had just sat down to catch his breath when he saw his old friend also come to sit down in his familiar seat with a furrowed brow. "If this keeps up, my old arms and legs really won't be able to take it anymore."

"You didn't participate in that 'gene enhancement program'?"

The Shenzhou representative glanced at him and said, "Logically speaking, an old guy like you should have a pretty high priority."

"I've participated, but I haven't gone yet."

The North America representative smiled smugly, "If I participate now, those guys will have a reason to postpone my retirement. I'm not doing that. I'll do it when I retire."

"Are you really planning to withdraw?"

The Shenzhou representative paused for a moment before realizing the message conveyed in the other party's words. "I thought you would try your best to stay in this position."

"Oh dear, with the arrival of a new era, who would want to work all day long? I can't wait to enjoy my retirement life."

The North America representative leaned back in his chair and stretched slightly. "But what about you? Did you dye your hair back, or...?"

The Shenzhou representative smiled but did not answer the question directly. However, as an old friend who had fought with the other side for so many years, the North America representative could get the answer from that smile, "You really did it? No wonder you look much younger. I thought it was the effect of makeup."

"Makeup can only cover up the surface, but the spirit and energy in one's bones cannot be changed."

The representative from Shenzhou said with a smile, "The country still needs the experience of an old guy like me, so naturally there's no reason for me to step down."

"You Shenzhou are really something..."

The North America representative shook his head slightly, but did not continue the topic. "Speaking of which, who convened this emergency meeting?"

"The message came from the Moth to Fire's side,"

The representative from Shenzhou looked at the representative from Moth to Fire who had been late, his expression somewhat subtle. "But this style doesn't seem like Dr. Mei's style. It's more like... that one's."

In Dr. Mei's style, she would send a message to all attendees in advance of any emergency meeting, outlining the general content of the meeting, to give them some mental preparation.

But this time there was nothing, and the only person left who had this authority and liked to do this kind of thing, or rather, a god, was left.

"To do as you please, to come and go as you please, right?"

The North America representative's expression also became slightly serious. "I wonder what kind of surprise our deity will bring us this time."

"It's hard to say whether I like it or not,"

The representative from Shenzhou, recalling the magistrate's past behavior, couldn't help but joke, "But a 'surprise' is certain."

Just then, the noisy conference hall suddenly fell silent. The two representatives who noticed this change looked towards the door at the same time and saw a female Fused Warrior with beast-like features walking in from outside, accompanied by Kevin.

The other party seemed to be appearing at this kind of occasion for the first time, and therefore appeared somewhat reserved, but every representative present was very familiar with her identity.

Because this girl Pardofelis Padofelis is the person Ai Yue trusts and is closest to, and is one of the few who can reside permanently on the Star of Light.

Her appearance clearly confirmed the two men's suspicions.

However, since that person did not attend in person, it probably wasn't some major news.

The representatives from Shenzhou and North America exchanged a glance, both pondering the same thought.

However, as Pardofelis and Kevin stood on either side of the Moth to Fire's seats, a white, semi-transparent figure emerged from the middle.

Seeing that Ai Yue was unable to attend in person but had convened an emergency meeting, the Shenzhou representative suddenly realized that he might have been wrong.

The news that the other party has to personally announce under these circumstances is probably beyond what the word "bombshell" can describe.

So what happened? Is the Solar System about to be destroyed? Is Ai Yue planning to take us to find a new home?

The Shenzhou representative's brain started racing, trying to guess what kind of earth-shattering news the other side was going to announce.

But the story that followed from the other person still exceeded the limits of his imagination.

What does it mean to say, "Because the continuation of our civilization led to the collapse of the timeline of later civilizations, in order to save the people of the next civilization, I used the power of the Imaginary Tree to create a new Solar System. It is currently there to maintain the normal operation of the timeline, so we need to send people over to help. You will have to rely on yourselves during this time"?

The content before each comma in this passage was completely beyond the understanding of the representative from Shenzhou, and when he looked at his old friend with a bewildered gaze, he received the same bewildered look in return.

Oh, so nobody understood. That puts my mind at ease.

After a moment of mental blankness, the Shenzhou representative couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile—he realized he was terribly wrong; how could humans possibly fathom the thoughts of the gods?

"In short, that's how it is."

After explaining the situation clearly in one go, Ai Yue looked at the representatives present and asked, "What are your thoughts, everyone?"

It's too late to say anything now, isn't it? You've already done everything, haven't you?

The Shenzhou representative was still grumbling to himself when he suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him, as if waiting for him to say something.

After a moment of silence, the representative finally asked, "Uh, do you mean you need our help to send more people?"

"No need for that. The manpower issue will be handled by the Moth to Fire, so some people may not be able to show up for a while, and you will need to clean up the mess."

Ai Yue nodded, a satisfied expression on his face. "Okay, it seems there shouldn't be any problems. Let's adjourn the meeting then."

After saying that, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The room only came alive again after Kevin and Pardofelis left the meeting hall.

"What kind of mess is this?"

The North America representative's expression was somewhat subtle. "No, I have to get the 'genetic enhancement' done right away—if more news like this comes in, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take it!"

"Even the strongest heart can't withstand the whimsical ideas of the gods, so you should stop struggling."

The representative from Shenzhou said quietly, "I think retiring now wouldn't be bad. When are you planning to retire? Shall we retire together?"

"Tonight is probably the last chance. Once this gets out, I'm afraid I won't be able to retire for at least ten years."

The North America representative sighed, already imagining the impact this incident would have on the overall political situation. "Do you think that person did it on purpose?"

The representative from Shenzhou was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend, I don't believe you haven't thought about it,"

The North America representative said, "It's because that person isn't very satisfied with our performance, so he's using this method to give us a warning... Come to think of it, you were the one who brought up this possibility first."

The Shenzhou representative then recalled that he had indeed said something like "Ai Yue will not lack followers."

What he meant at the time was that if Earth's civilization couldn't hold on tightly to Ai Yue's coattails, it would soon be left far behind until it could no longer bask in his glory—but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.

However, the Shenzhou representative shook his head in the end. "I think that person probably didn't mean that. He never cares about these things, so it's probably just as he said, simply to save the lives of a civilization."

"Just like he once saved us."

The North America representative paused for a moment before revealing a helpless smile, "Indeed, our opinions are of no importance to that person. After all, it's not that he needs us, but that we need him."

Ai Yue naturally didn't care about the discussions among the representatives of various countries. As far as he was concerned, making this matter public to the United Earth Government meant that the aftermath was already taken care of. As for what the Terran Alliance should do, that was no longer his concern.

Anyway, with Ai keeping an eye on things here, nothing bad will happen.

And so, the "Story God Project" welcomed new members, and after Kevin and others joined, the development of civilizations around the world began to gradually converge toward the original timeline.

Kevin selected a highly promising bloodline in Northern Europe and passed on his power through "Radiant Resonance." Sue left behind her philosophical insights in the Alps, waiting for future generations to discover them. Cosmo and Desdrobia built artificial ruins underground in North America to facilitate "archaeological research" for future generations...

As time passed, the civilization of the land of Shenzhou had developed to a critical point that was enough to trigger the "Chiyou's Descent" event.

"So, how exactly should this be done?"

Inside the space where the Cocoon of Finality resides, Kiana asked curiously, "No matter what, releasing Chi You to attack Jilin and the others by hand feels like something only a mastermind would do."

"That's exactly right. We're doing the work of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Elysia responded with a smile, "But don't worry, it's just a performance, no one will die because of it."

"I'm still very curious."

Hua chimed in, "How exactly is this supposed to be done? War, after all, inevitably involves bloodshed."

"That's all thanks to my adorable self,"

Elysia's voice became smug, "Ahua, you should have noticed, the Honkai disaster this civilization is facing is much milder than the one we are facing."

Hua nodded. "Yes, I noticed that. Ultimately, it seems to be because the Honkai Energy here doesn't have a corrosive effect?"
