" Adamxis Planet has been invaded by bizarre creatures, suspected to be overflowing Soul Matter that has fused with physical matter to create strange life forms."
"The city of Adamxis Planet was invaded by strange creatures, and the vast city was destroyed overnight, with casualties reaching tens of millions. Scientists say this is revenge from Heaven, a curse brought by immortality!"
"It is reported that the Human Federation Government has issued a shocking statement: the Subspace Jump technology has been successfully achieved, and humanity has completely broken through the shackles of reproductive speed. From this day forward, humanity will usher in a true era of interstellar colonization! The speed of light can no longer be an indicator limiting human development!"
"Insider information suggests that Subspace Jump technology may have a fatal flaw! It is reported that each time a spaceship makes Subspace Jump Subspace, it brings back a small amount of attached Soul Matter. According to internal sources, this Soul Matter may merge with physical matter, giving rise to bizarre life forms that have appeared on Adamxis Planet, posing a huge threat to humanity and society."
However, Subspace Jump technology is fundamental to humanity's ability to expand outwards. The situation is now extremely critical. Between racial reproduction and expansion and the impending racial war, which option is the truly optimal solution?
Why can't Pale God forcefully suppress mutated products? Why can't He help humanity overcome the limitations of reproduction speed?
In the Norton 3K era, year 3211, news of Adamsis Planet and Subspace Jump technology finally spread to all the interstellar colonies currently occupied by humanity.
Immediately, public sentiment was agitated, and the people were in a state of high spirits.
Human society has long been constrained by the limitations of reproduction, and humanity has suffered greatly from this.
Three hundred years ago, the Human Federation issued a strict order prohibiting all newborn pregnancies, solely to ensure that the current human population would not deplete the resources of the planet currently being explored.
After all, the total number of people is a terrifying 1.47 × 10²⁰, a massive population size that has already touched the bottom line of human society's collapse.
With such a massive population, the total daily consumption is an astronomical figure that no one dares to calculate. Using simple AI calculations, they could consume the equivalent of the total mass of the Garden of Eden in fifty years.
Even with factories operating at full capacity and AI robots working day and night, the current Human Federation can barely guarantee overall supply, and even then, it will completely deplete the resources of a planet almost every three hundred years.
Such enormous energy and material consumption has long been a source of Human Federation, much like the royal stipends in the Great Ming Dynasty, which have burdened the entire empire and made it teeter on the brink of collapse.
Not to mention that such a large population consists almost entirely of immortals, with negligible casualties and a minimum annual birth rate of 3.675 × 10¹⁹.
The combination of these two factors is an absolute catastrophe. If the Human Federation had not forcibly controlled the population's reproduction three hundred years ago, then even with the strong pressure of the Pale God Norton, the population would have already swelled to the point that the Empire could no longer bear it and would have completely collapsed.
Therefore, as soon as these news broke, public opinion continued to focus on the rampant reproduction and immigration.
Even when faced with the ultimate question of human reproduction, the soul fragments brought back by so-called Subspace Jump and the alienation of reality are not taken seriously at all.
The first wave of online buzz came from various livestreamers and even self-proclaimed analysis bloggers.
"Oh my god, bro, Subspace Jump technology has really been achieved! My Pale God! This is simply the greatest scientific achievement in human history, it has opened up infinite possibilities for the future development of mankind!"
Humanity has long been limited by the ratio of its reproduction rate to its expansion rate; we are all in this situation, so we all know what I mean.
However, the success of Subspace Jump technology means that humanity can save extremely long interstellar travel time, and from traveling for thousands of years in the past to the instantaneous leap of today, we can immediately go to new planets to colonize and expand. This means that we have once again launched a large-scale interstellar infrastructure project and ushered in another golden period of development.
No, from this day forward, we are in a golden age of development!
The only drawback is that the Subspace Jump technology will bring some soul fragments, and the further reproduction and development of humanity will exacerbate the state of Soul Infestation in reality on Adamsis Planet.
This undoubtedly means that from now on, human society may forever be locked in a struggle with these bizarre creatures that are invading reality.
But there's no way around it; Subspace Jump technology is the future of human development, and immortality is a benefit closely related to each and every one of us.
We cannot abandon the development of our entire race because of these so-called bizarre creatures that are invading reality, nor can we give up our individual immortality because of this!
Therefore, according to the host's prediction, from now on, it will be an endless era of human exploration and large-scale warfare!
But we have no way out; we must fight on forever!
"What? Your Majesty possesses such power, why don't you directly help humanity with interstellar travel? Why don't you directly suppress these strange life forms?"
I'm so powerful, you should give me a good review in the comments! Do you even know anything about a Pale God? Get out of here!
While most online opinions are related to individuals or organizations stirring up trouble, they still highlight the current societal view that this so-called Subspace Jump is still subject to the corruption of the Soul Matter.
This is still a relatively rational view; the clamor from many people online is even more extreme.
A large number of people are calling for the destruction of Garden of Eden and the decline of reality; some even openly celebrate the invasion of the real world and the eventual extinction of humanity.
Even worse, some have gone so far as to commit treasonous acts, attempting to drag that Pale God down from his pedestal amidst the uproar of public opinion.
Their long period of peace has prevented them from experiencing the bitterness of war. Just like the warmongers who clamor on the internet in modern society, once they actually go to the battlefield and witness the cruelty of war, they will immediately turn into peace ambassadors and clamor for the whole country to surrender.
This prolonged peace fostered a false sense of individual luck in their minds. They would always fantasize that they were the only special one on the battlefield, that they alone could overcome all obstacles and defeat hundreds of enemies through luck or intellect.
They also looked down on all other soldiers who went to the battlefield, considering them extremely stupid.
Just like the current tragic state of Adamxis Planet, although the images have been widely circulated online and witnessed by hundreds of millions of people, they still do not believe that they have ended up in such a situation.
They even believed that if they were placed in this environment, it would be the arrival of a tyrant, dominating the world!
This peaceful society has been suppressed for too long, to the point that everyone wants to unleash their pent-up energy. It has suppressed society, morality, ethics, interpersonal relationships, and even the underlying logic of how society operates, all of which are on the verge of disintegrating under Norton's millennia-long oppression.
They desperately need a cataclysmic destruction to rebuild the human soul, which has long since decayed under a long period of peace!
