In the end, Zhang Fan decided to bring Hu Baili and the others to Earth. A more diversified approach to development might help humanity on Earth.
After Zhang Fan's patient "persuasion," Hu Baili and Buffett had no choice but to agree to move to Earth and continue their research there.
Livia also joined Zhang Fan to help him oversee humanity's development.
This time, however, Zhang Fan decided not to let humans govern themselves. Instead, he would have Livia rule them as a goddess.
Once Livia displayed abilities far beyond even those of superhumans, humanity did indeed become much more obedient. Although conflicts did not decrease by much, things were considerably better under her control.
Under Livia's guidance, humanity unwittingly entered a quasi-mythological society, with feudalism remaining its dominant system.
However, the concept of the divine right of kings gradually took root in people's hearts, and the worship of gods rose to entirely new heights.
Livia loved humans so much that she built a paradise for them. There, they could have anything they wanted. They did not need to worry about hunger, natural disasters, or man-made calamities. They only needed to live in peace.
Only those Livia deemed worthy were allowed to enter. It served as a reward for people who had made outstanding contributions to humanity's development.
Yet even a place like that did not enjoy peace for long. With nothing to do, humans inevitably began acting selfishly, carving out territories, hoarding the best food, and fighting over the tastiest prey.
Finally, one day, incited by a man named Saya, a brutal war broke out even in the paradise Livia had built.
Zhang Fan was disappointed-deeply disappointed. He believed that the humans who had migrated from Second Earth did not deserve to inhabit Earth.
He decided to wipe out humanity
