Welcome to the Future

Number 002: A humanoid alarm sounded across the sky above the Earth, and in an instant, the area where Li Yuan was located flashed with a blinding red light.

Li Yuan neither dodged nor avoided this, but instead found a trash can and sat down on it, seemingly unaware that it was a trash can.

But when he glanced around, there wasn't even a chair-like object on the street.

How exactly was this city changed?

A countdown began flashing across the global skies, and unidentified flying objects circled around Li Yuan. Soon...

The countdown has ended.

A blue beam of energy descended from the sky and landed directly in front of Li Yuan!

Boom!

A figure slowly emerged from the blue pillar of light; it was Otto's third Holy Armor, numbered Shattered Wave.

The armored figure had a strange design; he held two long-handled weapons, one resembling a spear and the other a trident.

The irregular structure felt familiar to Li Yuan.

This scene... seems familiar, but I can't quite place it... Third Holy Armor: Shattered Wave "Target detected, commencing elimination."

The blue-armored warrior took a swift step forward, hurling a trident-like weapon straight at Li Yuan's head!

The trident was thrown at an extraordinary speed, like a missile launch!

Li Yuan stretched out his right hand and easily grasped the trident weapon.

Um?

The controller of the Holy Armor was taken aback, but he did not slow down. Another spear-like weapon in his hand came down immediately!

Block!

With a clang of metal, Li Yuan used his trident to press the spear to the ground.

The wielder of the Holy Armor exerted his strength, but the two weapons remained completely still!

"Wrong..."

The controller of the Holy Armor suddenly raised his head and saw Li Yuan flick a finger at the head of the Holy Armor!

Boom!!!

A terrifying shockwave erupted, and the head of the armored figure exploded instantly, revealing the face of a young man.

"What?"

The controller of the Holy Armor seemed to have lost all strength and suddenly knelt down, staring blankly at Li Yuan in front of him.

Seeing this, Li Yuan pulled out the trident from the ground and threw it back, saying, "This armor should be comparable to a mid-level fifth rank."

Should we say Otto is a genius?

Although the Holy Armor is as fragile as a piece of paper to Li Yuan now, before the Chosen Ones, a fifth-tier Holy Armor would have been enough to fight Li Yuan.

Give it some more time, and maybe it can actually produce something interesting. It's not quite there yet, but the future looks promising.

Li Yuan turned to look at the unidentified flying object beside him, "If you have any other toys, you can release them as well."

Otto's projection reappeared, "No need, I've already got the data I wanted. Thank you for your cooperation."

"It seems you've all reached that level, so my fifth-tier creation is probably useless now."

"I guess you came back at this time to prepare for the battle against Entropy."

Li Yuan looked at Otto, "That's right, you're quite well-informed."

Otto said, "Actually, I learned a long time ago that entropy was heading towards Earth. In order to confirm when they would arrive, I tried my best to find other cosmic civilizations and obtained more outstanding technological achievements from them."

"But I still don't have accurate information about the scale of Entropy's combat power."

Li Yuan: "There are probably close to a thousand Saint Realms, and countless fifth-tier ones."

Otto: "Nearly a thousand sixth-tier beings, that's a truly despairing number. So I'd like to know, how many Saint-level beings did the Supreme God send out?"

Li Yuan: "No more than ten."

Otto: "Is that so? It seems we have no choice but to abandon Earth..."

This guy really can't articulate his stance.

Li Yuan: "009 is also here."

Otto: "He's reached the sixth rank too? Then I'll leave this to you. I need to transfer some data now."

[Target cleared: Command ended]

The alien creature of unknown origin has been eliminated, but we received very unfortunate news from it.

[A Cosmic Tyrant is leading his army toward Earth. After unanimous discussion, the General Federation has decided to activate two plans simultaneously as a countermeasure.]

We don't want to give up our homeland, so we have to fight to the end, but we can't gamble with the future of humanity.

Therefore, in the worst-case scenario, we would have to make a choice: abandon the Solar System and preserve the spark of civilization.

Interstellar migration is imperative.

Seeing this, Li Yuan shook his head and ignored it, turning to walk down another street. He could no longer rely on Otto.

This guy is already thinking about how to run away. Earth has become Otto's personal sanctuary, so there's not much to say about that. Let's go check on the others.

As night falls, urban light pollution worsens, with purplish-red lights seemingly setting the tone for the city.

Various exaggerated buildings were displayed in a flamboyant manner. Li Yuan's consciousness swept across the earth and quickly found 001.

On a street, 001, disguised as a young girl, is enjoying skewers at a roadside stall. "Sure enough, no matter how times change, these things are still so delicious~"

"Human beings are truly amazing."

Li Yuan walked over to 001 and sat down in the seat next to it. This looked like a... barbecue restaurant?

A robot wearing a hat and clothes approached Li Yuan and spoke in a voice that was very close to human, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Li Yuan: "Whatever."

The robot nodded. "Okay, that'll be five thousand in total. Will you be paying in Federal Currency?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan looked at the robot and asked, "What, five thousand?"

The robot patiently replied, "Whatever, five thousand."

"Oh, that's right. In November 2037, physicist Mr. Wei Huadong invented this dish called 'Whatever,' thus solving a century-old problem."

Li Yuan: "..."

Another strange piece of knowledge has been added.

Li Yuan turned to look at 001, who was eating with great relish, his face now beaming with happiness.

"What are your thoughts on the upcoming battle?"

001, without even looking up, replied, "Not much."

Li Yuan shook his head. Before coming here, he had considered the combat strength of Entropy, but the number of Saint Realm experts under Entropy's command still exceeded his expectations.

"A conservative estimate is still too conservative."

001 swallowed what was in her mouth and looked at Li Yuan, "Anyway, I think Master wouldn't have the heart to let us die. Even if we die, Master will still revive us, right?"

That's a bit too optimistic.

Previously, they had all been causing trouble under Chen Ye's control, fighting and making a huge fuss, all within the venues Chen Ye had set up for them.

But this time it's different.

As a seventh-order entity, Entropy also possesses its own chapters. What Chen Ye can do, He might not be unable to do as well. If He were to truly die at the hands of Entropy, then whether He could survive would be uncertain.
