Ling Yi roughly understood.
These people are likely related to the Protagonist's cheat-like abilities in this world.
This is one of the few worlds that Ling Yi has transmigrated to, and one where he knows the origin of the system.
Since the system and Ling Yi's memories are interconnected, these people also learned about some of Ling Yi's memories.
After learning that Ling Yi was Big Shot, the man's attitude immediately became much more respectful.
At the same time, the privileges of the cheat code will be returned.
"My name is Ming Yu. Please forgive my rudeness. Also, I humbly request that you take us back a billion years to save humanity."
It seems the ultimate premise of this novel's world is that the Protagonist travels back a billion years to change history.
Ling Yi nodded. He could certainly help with this, but he was very curious about what exactly happened a billion years ago.
Before Ling Yi could ask, Ming Yu slowly began to explain.
"A billion years ago, the Orion Oulialians invaded Earth Star, intending to colonize Earth Star. The Oulial were a Type 4 civilization, while we at that time had just broken through to Type 2..."
As Ming Yu explained, a history of struggle between ancient human civilization and extraterrestrial civilization slowly unfolded before Ling Yi.
Humanity, having just reached Type 2 civilization, can only operate within the Solar System and is still unable to leave Solar System.
The Oulialians, a Type 4 civilization, are already capable of interstellar warfare.
With a difference of two civilization levels, the gap in strength between them was enormous. Humanity seemed to have no choice but to surrender and accept colonization.
But humanity's determination to resist far Big Superman the Oulialians ' expectations.
The primary battlefield at the time was on Mars. Humanity did not want to bring the battle to Earth Star; otherwise, after an Interstellar war, Earth Star would likely be completely destroyed.
The Oulialians also didn't want Earth Star to suffer any damage; a young, life-bearing planet was far more valuable than a dead one.
Humanity pooled all its resources to build tens of thousands of Space Battleship and waged a century-long war against the Oulialians near Mars.
The reason they persisted for so long was threefold: first, the Oulialians were engaged in interstellar warfare, resulting in slow resupply; second, the Oulialians did not want to commit too many troops to this war; and third, humanity's determination to fight to the death.
It's all or nothing; there is no compromise, only victory or death.
But after a century, the Oulialians finally lost their patience.
They directly dispatched their main fleet, which descended upon Earth Star with overwhelming force.
"We knew this war was unwinnable. At the time, we had only one thought: even if we died, we would teach the Oulial invaders a lesson they wouldn't forget."
" The Oulialians are an extremely brutal race; their civilization developed through constant Plunder and slaughter."
"We humans have no way out; our only choice is to perish together with them."
Ming Yu said with a burning gaze.
"We have activated an Miejue weapon, Oblivion. It is a Fixed Star Grade weapon. Once activated, Oblivion will unleash Energy Storm that will sweep across the entire Earth Star and radiate across most of the Solar System."
This means that Earth Star will become a dead star in this Energy Storm, and the entire surface of the planet will even be scraped off, turning into ashes suspended in the atmosphere.
At this moment, Ling Yi recalled that during the process of studying geological strata, humans had discovered something very strange.
It's important to know that the Earth's crust is layered, and theoretically, the deeper you go, the older the strata should be.
However, this section of the geological strata, dating back 900 million to 1.1 billion years, mysteriously disappeared.
This event is one of the many unsolved mysteries of humankind that scientists have been unable to explain.
But now, Ling Yi knows the reason.
It was an ancient human civilization that forcibly erased this layer of Earth using Fixed Star Grade weapons.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying that scene must have been.
"However, we did have a backup plan. At the very beginning of the war with the Oulialians, we gathered all our resources, built a fleet of spaceships, and carried 200,000 humans to escape Earth."
"To avoid being discovered by the Oulialians, these spaceships entered the Dead Zone."
"The Dead Zone?" Ling Yi asked.
"The Dead Zone is a galaxy where a black hole once existed. When the black hole reaches its critical point and explodes, everything around it is Destroy. In the Dead Zone, there are no stars, no planets, nothing at all."
"To conserve energy, the 200,000 people on board the spaceship had to enter a long-term hibernation state, which lasted for a billion years."
"In retrospect, that battle did indeed deal a huge blow to the Oulialians, but if they knew that Earth Star had recovered, they would probably come back with a vengeance."
"So, what are you planning to do?" Ling Yi asked.
"There's another Oblivion on this spaceship," Ming Yu said, his voice tinged with a hint of sorrow.
Ling Yi was taken aback, but instantly understood what he meant. They were planning to go to Oulial and give this invader who had once invaded Earth Star a good beating, in order to buy Earth Star more time to develop.
"Although we initiated Oblivion at the time, we also hid Earth Star's original Gene Bank deep within its crust."
"Once Earth Star recovers and meets the conditions for the emergence of life, the Gene Bank will automatically unlock."
So this is the reason why all life on Earth Star came into being.
No wonder the appearance of humans seemed so abrupt.
As for how ancient humans came into being, according to Ming Yu, they evolved over hundreds of millions or even billions of years and were highly Wisdom beings.
Ling Yi couldn't help but sigh. Darwin's theory of evolution might not be wrong, but it overlooked the influence of human factors.
"What's wrong with my system?" Ling Yi asked, pointing to his head.
"At that time, there was a Physics PhD named Guan Hai who proposed the theory of the Quantum Realm. He believed that the microscopic Quantum Realm should contain a large number of microscopic universes."
"Therefore, he planned to open Quantum Tunnel and lead the humans of Earth Star at that time to hide in the Quantum Universe."
"..." This concept... why does it sound so familiar? Isn't this the setting of a novel world that Ling Yi transmigrated to before?
"But time was running out. Before the final battle, Dr. Guan built an autonomous Quantum computer, also buried deep in the earth's crust, allowing an intelligent system that should have developed self-awareness to continue operating, hoping that one day this intelligent system would be able to crack the path to the Quantum Realm."
"However, Dr. Guan also knows that the microcosm is just a hypothesis, and its existence cannot be verified. But Quantum is necessarily related to time and space. Perhaps one day, intelligent systems will be able to break through the barriers of time and space."
" Dr. Guan has backed up all the technology in the intelligent system. When it encounters a human, the intelligent system will automatically bind and recognize it as its master."
Is this the origin of the system? According to Ming Yu, this explanation makes sense.
When in doubt, Quantum mechanics is the way to go. It's likely that the author of this novel's world also wanted to provide a reasonable explanation for the system through Quantum theory.
Ling Yi didn't believe that Dr. Guan hadn't left a backup plan. Even if he had, it was probably useless by now. After countless billions of years of self-evolution, the level of technology mastered by this system was far beyond what Dr. Guan could understand.
I believe the system will also make its own judgment.
Why would someone with such Big Shot like myself not follow me, but instead betray me to follow an ordinary person?
Moreover, Ling Yi doesn't care at all about the system's betrayal; does he lack a cheat ability?
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap, and the next moment, nine beams of light descended from the sky, bringing Ling Yi and the eight people directly to a billion years ago.
This spaceship, however, has remained. In this timeline, it would be quite interesting if future humans were to unearth such a spaceship, wouldn't it?
Ling Yi and his companions appeared in a magnificent, golden hall.
To the left and right were humans wearing blue cesium futuristic armor, while on the throne in the hall sat a giant wearing golden cesium armor.
These ancient humans were truly amazing.
They are generally over four meters tall, and look like giants.
Strictly speaking, these people should be the ancestors of later humans, but Ling Yi always felt that these giants and humans were fundamentally two different races.
The sudden appearance of Ling Yi and his group caused a commotion among the people in the hall.
Ming Yu immediately knelt on one knee and began to explain something to the person on the throne in a string of gibberish.
As Ming Yu explained, these people looked at Ling Yi with scrutiny, but more so with suspicion. Ling Yi, who had originally wanted to communicate with these ancient humans, immediately lost interest.
At this point in the story, it's actually time for Ling Yi to leave.
Ling Yi directly created a World Passage; Yin Wanqing could simply send a few Protagonist to deal with the Alien in this world.
Then, Ling Yi's figure disappeared from this spacetime and returned to the spacetime node where Guan Xiaoxiao was located.
Seeing the dense crowd surrounding the base, Ling Yi was taken aback.
"What happened?" Ling Yi asked Guan Xiaoxiao.
"These are all people you brought from the modern era. They discovered this base and want to take it over," Guan Xiaoxiao said with a sigh.
"Didn't you tell them this is my base?"
"They said so, but they..."
"Okay, I understand."
Ling Yi interrupted Guan Xiaoxiao, and then with a thought, a Light Ball appeared above Ling Yi's head and entered Guan Xiaoxiao's mind.
This cheat ability is very powerful, but it's limited to this world. After all, it's a native cheat ability, and once it leaves this world, many of its functions will become useless due to the restrictions of the rules.
For Ling Yi, this cheat wasn't as useful as he had imagined.
Even Yin Wanqing would probably find it unacceptable, unless Yin Wanqing's willing to spend the time modifying the cheat system.
But with so many Protagonist under her control, Yin Wanqing has no shortage of cheat codes.
"Whether you send them back to the modern era or help them develop in this era is the decision you make."
Guan Xiaoxiao is a bit of a saint, and she acts a little pretentious.
She might be a good Save the World, but she's definitely not a good manager.
However, Ling Yi only knew Guan Xiaoxiao in this world, which is why he gave her the cheat ability.
As for how the world will develop in the future, that's not something Ling Yi should care about.
