A New Era (End)

After the moon disappeared, the ecological environment, which should have deteriorated rapidly, was contained by Lu Bai.

However, this is only temporary; the problem has not been completely resolved.

Now that he has some free time, Lu Bai naturally wants to deal with this problem.

For him now, it wouldn't be difficult to do something like this.

Of course, it's not about restoring the moon to its original state.

Time travel involves unimaginable amounts of energy, so he has a simpler method.

Lu Bai bent down, picked up a Shatter Stone, and opened his palm.

[Earth Burst Sky Star) ]

As the ability was activated, the thumb-sized Shatter Stone floated into the air, emitting a faint glow, and quickly flew towards the sky.

The Shatter Stone gradually grows larger as it rises, increasing in size with the wind.

Rather than reverting the moon back to its state before it was destroyed, it would be better to recreate a moon, as long as all the data are identical to the original.

Soon, a new bright moon hung high in the sky.

Apart from its smooth surface and lack of craters, it is identical to the moon in every other respect.

Without tools, the naked eye can't even tell the difference.

Recreating a moon was just a matter of course for Lu Bai; his ambitions extended far beyond that.

With one step, he shot straight into the sky.

Only after reaching an altitude of tens of thousands of meters did we stop and look down at the earth below.

The rock formations did not obstruct Lu Bai's view; he easily took in the situation of the underground shelters.

Small shelters are almost entirely gone, with only one in ten remaining. The vast majority of small shelters are now empty and have ceased operation.

After all, only the higher-ranking shelters are equipped with ecological recycling systems; relying solely on stored supplies won't last a lifetime.

Not to mention that even one of the top ten super-large shelters has run into trouble, its interior in ruins and filled with an atmosphere of death.

After all, several hundred years have passed. Considering the average human lifespan, it's no exaggeration to say that the world has changed dramatically.

"There are actually several shelters exploring the surface?"

Lu Bai raised an eyebrow. "Oh? A signal for a counterattack?"

No matter how far apart they are, there will be no secrets in his eyes.

He suddenly smiled, "Not completely corrupt yet."

Frankly speaking, once he has fully mastered the Deathmatch System, any problem will be easily solved for him.

He could resolve the threat posed by the Mona civilization on his own, without needing anyone else's help.

But the fact that some of humanity's elite still retained their fighting spirit was comforting to him.

New City.

Countless people, carrying large bags and small packages, and with their families in tow, crowded the streets.

Not long ago, the ecological environment deteriorated rapidly, and out of the desire to survive, the people in the city were trying to find a safe place to hide.

Even if I can't go back to the Underground City, finding a small, abandoned shelter would be fine.

Countless people share this view.

Before many people had even left the new town area, they discovered that the environment had suddenly stopped deteriorating, and even the howling winds had become gentle.

Even now, people are gradually noticing that a full moon has returned to the sky.

A mix of emotions filled the crowd: bewilderment, blankness, confusion, and the overwhelming joy of surviving a disaster.

The densely packed crowd stopped their escape and remained silently in place, as if waiting for something.

And Lu Bai did not disappoint people's expectations.

A gentle voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, resonated in everyone's minds.

I am Lu Bai.

At this moment, the joys and sorrows of people are the same for everyone.

A thunderous cheer erupted from the vast new city, reaching straight into the sky.

Li Shan, who was in charge of evacuating the crowd, relaxed and turned to look at Feng Yixuan, saying with a touch of emotion, "Is there anything he can't do?"

Feng Yixuan scoffed, feigning indignation. "Who does he think he is?"

Who is he?

At the exit of a civil defense project located deep in the mountains, a young man wearing a baseball cap asked, looking bewildered.

Yes, the advance team sent out by Shelter No. 3 also heard Lu Bai's voice.

In fact, Lu Bai not only spread his voice to everyone on the surface, but also transmitted his will to the depths of the underground.

All shelters, whether or not they had sent ground reconnaissance troops, received Lu Bai's notification.

The consequences of not accepting the notification are something the shelter's leadership needs to consider.

For Lu Bai now, there was no need to deliberately show his goodwill; simply informing him was enough.

"I don't know who this Lu Bai is."

The middle-aged man leading the group shrugged. "Let those old men up there have a headache."

One team member asked, "So what do we do now? Should we continue?"

The middle-aged man looked around, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's continue. It seems we might not have to go back underground."

Moonrise and sunset.

No matter what, a new day will always come.

At the top of the tallest building in the new city, Lu Bai sat cross-legged, bathed in sunlight.

What he could see was a city that had expanded several times over.

The original plan for the new city was to create a megacity large enough to accommodate tens of millions of people. After the expansion, the urban area became so vast that it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

The ability to construct such a spectacular scale in such a short time was naturally due to the use of the Deathmatchers' power.

This also includes fighters from other shelters.

Incidentally, following Lu Bai's notification, the top ten shelters in the sequence established contact with the ground that very night.

There was no room for refusal.

After all, once Lu Bai appeared inside the shelter in an instant and displayed his power, anyone with a brain would know that this was not someone they could fight against.

A brainless person could never sit in a high-ranking position in the shelter; in this situation, most people would simply go along with the good advice.

Even if someone harbors ulterior motives, after coming to the surface and communicating with the people in Shelter No. 9, they can only keep their thoughts buried deep in their hearts.

When power is at the same level, political acumen can still allow for some maneuvering.

Unfortunately, Lu Bai has completely mastered the Deathmatch System, making him fundamentally different from other Deathmatch fighters. Even if all the Deathmatch fighters in the world were tied together, they couldn't shake a hair on his head.

This gap is greater than the difference between humans and gods.

The higher-ups at each of the various shelters are most aware of this.

With such a huge gap, at least on the surface, no one dared to defy Lu Bai's will.

But are you secretly harboring some ulterior motives?

Don't forget, if Lu Bai wanted to, he could conjure up a mind-reading ability at any time; no one could hide it from him.

However, as long as there is no concrete action, he doesn't care even if he sees through someone's thoughts; he won't be that strict.

Xiao Zhengyan stepped behind Lu Bai and bowed respectfully, his posture impeccable.

The former Speaker of Shelter No. 9, now acting like Lu Bai's personal secretary, inquired, "Mr. Lu, the latest version of the economic system has been revised. If you would like to review it, I will arrange for someone to come and explain it to you immediately."

Lu Bai didn't even turn his head, casually waving his hand. "You're in charge of the inspection."

Lu Bai didn't think he could find any problems with the economic system developed by the top economists from various shelters.

Just like current urban planning and construction, he is only responsible for assigning tasks.

He will only hold someone accountable if something really goes wrong.

In any case, there's no way to shirk responsibility in front of him; even suicide is out of the question.

The problem with everything in the world is that we are all interconnected, with each other being part of the other.

Therefore, politics is indeed often called the art of compromise.

However, throughout history, as long as the rulers of a regime can firmly control personnel and finances, the situation will not get too bad, no matter how bad it is.

However, the power that Lu Bai could wield was far more than that, so naturally, in all aspects, he only needed to distinguish right from wrong, and did not need to compromise.

To put it dramatically, these decisions related to the operation of the regime are not worth much of his energy.

Lu Bai looked up at the sky, his eyes slightly squinting in the sunlight.

What he's more concerned about now is the whereabouts of the Mona people.

In fact, after learning about the origins of the Deathmatch System, he could understand why the Mona civilization wanted to acquire Deathmatch System so much.

They would rather keep human civilization under their control, even if it means raising a tiger that will eventually become a threat, than completely lose the opportunity to acquire the Deathmatch System.

It is conceivable that the Mona civilization was well aware of the technological level of the martyrs.

However, precisely because the Mona civilization was well aware of the Martyrs' power, they dared not provoke Lu Bai, who had already inherited the Martyrs' legacy.

Almost the instant Lu Bai demonstrated his control over the Deathmatch System, the Mona people unilaterally severed all contact with all Mona Warrior, eliminating any possibility of pursuing the Mona Warrior Mona civilization through them.

Like a cockroach exposed to sunlight, it quickly retreats into a dark place.

However, the martyrs' techniques were far more advanced than the Mona civilization had imagined.

"Did you find it?"

Lu Bai inquired about the Deathmatch System.

[The gravitational tracing project has been completed; the target is located 17 light-years and 3,765 astronomical units directly in front of the Lagrange L2 point.]

With control of the system in Lu Bai's hands, the Deathmatch System would naturally replace the instructions with content that Lu Bai could understand.

Lu Bai unconsciously tapped his knee with his index finger. "Having kept humans captive for four hundred years, wouldn't it be fair for me to wipe the Mona civilization from the universe?"

Perhaps this decision is arrogant.

After all, until now, Lu Bai has never seen the Mona people in person.

"But you always have to pay the price for your actions, don't you?"

Lu Bai chuckled as he stood up, turned and went downstairs, the whole process remarkably calm and collected.

No one but him knew that a civilization powerful enough to colonize interstellar space had, in the very last second, become part of the history of the universe.

[Mindstream Network] unfolds, and at this moment, all of humanity on Earth hears Lu Bai's voice.

"Everything has turned a new page; human civilization should move into a new era."
