Chapter 15
Liu Dajun looked at the two paths laid out before him and shook his head firmly. "...No, there's, a third, path!"
When Ultra V first saw Liu Dajun shake his head, he frowned and was about to reprimand him, but after hearing his words, he paused, wanting to hear what other solution he had.
Ultra V said nothing, simply watching Liu Dajun in silence.
Liu Dajun slowly shifted his gaze, as though gathering his thoughts, or perhaps he had just been distracted. Only after a moment did he speak:
"...I, can go back, but you, perhaps, can, come with, me too!
As long as, as long as, you mobilize everyone's biological computers throughout the world when my consciousness returns to Earth, perhaps we can open a path to my world!"
At first, Liu Dajun's speech was still somewhat sluggish, but as he went on, his words began to flow more smoothly.
Ultra V's eyes lit up as he kept turning over the feasibility of this path in his mind.
But a moment later, he still shook his head. Although this plan was somewhat feasible, doing so would mean making all of their Ultra Empire citizens lose their bodies. Unless the final moment came, he would not make such a choice.
Seeing that Ultra V had not spoken, Liu Dajun continued, "I know your concerns, so I'm not saying you should abandon your bodies outright. What I mean is that I can go ahead and open the way for you. As long as you record the coordinates, perhaps this will become the last escape route for the entire Ultra Civilization."
Ultra V fell silent for a long time before finally nodding. "All right! Whether this plan succeeds or not, you will become a duke of our Ultra Empire!"
Afterward, a group of researchers began rapidly calculating the feasibility of this matter, as well as how to carry it out next.
But at this moment, Su Mo, who was in the real world, could no longer sit still.
What the hell!
I let you transmigrate into the Microcosm and even gave you a chance to come back, yet you're trying to lure away the people in my Microcosm too!
You really must have a death wish!
Do you really think a Level One Creator God isn't a god?!
In truth, whether Liu Dajun died, or even whether he returned, did not matter to Su Mo.
Although he now occupied the body of an Ultra Empire citizen, he was still an Earthling at his core.
But it would be a different matter entirely if those people of the Ultra Empire inside got out.
The reason Su Mo wanted to destroy the world was to raise his Divine Rank.
How could he raise his Divine Rank? By destroying the entire civilization and gathering its entire Divine Rank onto himself.
To be clear, this required destroying every living being in the entire civilization, leaving not a single one behind.
Only then could he obtain the greatest amount of Divine Rank, and only then could he maximize his gains.
Otherwise, even if just one person remained in the Ultra Empire, this Divine Rank would be split equally between Su Mo and that person.
Su Mo had already allowed a transmigrator to enter his Microcosm, and had even let him return out of consideration for their shared origins as Earthlings.
But returning on your own was one thing; trying to take the people in the Microcosm with you was something Su Mo would absolutely not allow.
He lowered his head and checked the time. Eleven fifty-eight.
Two minutes amounted to some forty days in the Microcosm.
Originally, Su Mo had genuinely intended to give them a full thousand years, but since they wanted to stir up trouble, then sorry.
World destruction was coming early!
With that thought, Su Mo rose from his lounge chair and took a step forward, vanishing from the rustic farmhouse courtyard.
At the same time, the two small buckets not far from him vanished along with him.
One bucket was a little less than half full of water; the other was a little less than half full of soil mixed with countless pebbles.
In just the short time it took Su Mo to enter the Microcosm, several more days had passed inside.
Over these past few days, they had completed all their preparations and had now mobilized the biological brains of every citizen throughout the Ultra Empire.
As soon as Liu Dajun returned to the real world, they would record those coordinates as the final escape route for the entire Ultra Empire.
Liu Dajun sat cross-legged in a hall filled with countless high-tech instruments.
A large scarlet cloak signifying his status hung down his back, and the medal on his chest that marked him as a duke shone brilliantly.
Outside the hall, everyone watched everything inside through the surveillance feeds.
The moment Liu Dajun's consciousness left his body, they would mark the location immediately. If possible, they even wanted to keep this path open continuously.
Liu Dajun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, following the guidance from the deepest part of his heart. He felt his consciousness begin to blur, and his entire body was already beginning to feel weightless.
Beside his ears, words from the depths of his memory rang out. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but far more unfamiliar.
"Little brother, Dajun, Dajun, how are you? Don't scare your big brother..."
That's my brother calling... It seems King Ultra was right. Time flows differently on the two sides.
Otherwise, there's no way my brother could still be alive after I've spent two hundred years here.
But "brother" feels like such an unfamiliar word.
It's already been two hundred years since I last saw him, hasn't it? I wonder how much time has passed on Earth now, and how my brother is doing.
Amid these thoughts, he felt everything around him begin to blur.
His body felt weightless too, as though he were flying. At that moment, Liu Dajun's consciousness abruptly cleared, and he turned his head, wanting one last look at the world where he had lived for two hundred years.
Yet the instant he turned his head, his mind went completely blank.
What he saw was a world that seemed to have been sped up.
He had long been prepared for the difference in the flow of time, so that was not particularly surprising.
The main reason for his reaction now was that he had seen a terrifying creature with an infinitely vast body watching him from within the universe.
The instant their gazes met, he saw the other being wave a hand in his direction.
But he certainly did not think this unknown, terrifying existence was greeting him, because the instant that hand waved, an understanding suddenly emerged.
[Because the Ultra Empire attempted to open a path to another world, World Destruction Mode has been activated!]
This voice was majestic and solemn, yet cold and merciless, like a machine utterly devoid of emotion.
The next moment, with a wave of that terrifying existence's hand, countless meteors mingled with a vast number of monsters flew toward Blue Star.
Liu Dajun's face turned pale, and even his soul could not stop trembling at that moment.
Once again, I have led the Ultra Empire down a path of no return!
