Now that the gods' palace ( the Mu Star Civilization warship) has been destroyed, the dark forces ( the Reaper ) have descended upon the world. The captive humans have realized that the gods have been defeated, their countless years of faith and dreams have been shattered, and the people have collapsed.
"Have the forces of darkness grown so powerful? Our gods have been destroyed."
"My God, why, after so many years of fighting, must we still lose in the end?"
"Why, why wasn't I summoned to fight for the gods sooner? I was sure I could destroy the forces of darkness and protect the divine realm!"
"God, since you have failed, my existence is meaningless..."
Countless captive humans chose to end their lives in various ways. In their hearts, even the powerful gods had been defeated by the forces of darkness, and they had no courage or meaning to live on.
Countless people are also praying, praying that God will come to save them. Perhaps only part of the war here has been lost, and God's army still has the fighting power. God must be fighting the forces of darkness elsewhere.
" Old Hu, what should we do?"
"Let them be. These people have been deeply brainwashed, and it's impossible to reverse it in a short time. They must undergo a baptism of blood and fire to be reborn."
Where are the sober-minded people?!
Where are the sober-minded people?!
Where are the sober-minded people?!
The enormous sound emanated from the Reaper and reached every corner of these captive planets; anyone with normal hearing could hear it.
More than half an hour has passed, and still no one has stepped forward. Are there no other conscious individuals besides Wei Kaiyuan and Guan Sengping?
The Reaper continued to shout. An hour passed, and just as Hu Yu was about to give up, a one-eyed old man with a crippled left leg shakily walked out of a small wooden hut. This hut was so out of place compared to the other luxurious residences, and the old man was even more out of place with the others.
"Who are you?" the old man asked, looking up at the sky.
Hu Yu didn't answer his question, but directly ordered the robot to grab the old man and put him on the Reaper.
"What kind of civilization are you?" the old man asked again. Judging from his knowledge of the existence of civilizations, he was indeed a sober person.
"We are human too." Hu Yu's projection appeared next to the old man, startling the old man who was already unsteady on his feet and almost causing him to fall.
"You..."
Are you a sane person? Do you know Wei Kaiyuan?
" Wei Kaiyuan? I don't know him, and I don't know what a 'sober person' is either."
"Oh." Hu Yu realized that this old man and Wei Kaiyuan were not even on the same planet, so there was no way he could know about Wei Kaiyuan and Guan Sengping.
Why are you like this? Youwei Mu Star Civilization treat you?
"I did this myself. In order to survive, I practiced asceticism in the name of God to express my respect for Him, so they ignored me. I know that the so-called God is nothing but a huge lie, and those who fight for God will not go to the so-called divine realm."
"You're quite clear-headed; why don't you tell everyone the secret?"
"What do I care about other people's lives or deaths? I'm lucky if I can even protect myself; I have no ability to help others."
"Okay, that's all for now."
Hu Yu ordered the robot to take the old man into the wooden house again. This round trip did not alert anyone. The robot was too fast for the human eye to follow, and given the current chaotic situation, no one cared about the old man's life or death.
The people on the planet continue to end their lives. In just over an hour, hundreds of billions of people have died. God is dead, and they no longer yearn for Him. The existence of God has taken deep root in their minds.
" Old Hu, think of something. They're human beings after all."
"I don't have any good solutions either. I'm good at fighting, but I'm not good at ideological work."
"How about we ask Academician Xiao to come over?"
"Forget it, it's no use. Unless it's a true god, no one can save them now. Even if we tell them the truth, no one will believe us."
Blood flowed like rivers on the planet, staining the earth crimson. Even Hu Yu was somewhat terrified by the scene. Although he didn't identify with them, they were still human. Rows and rows of corpses lay scattered on the ground, resembling a scene from hell.
This scene not only shocked Hu Yu, but also shocked the captive humans on the planet. The humans on the high-rise buildings stopped taking a step forward, the person holding a knife stopped when the tip of the knife was one centimeter away from the heart, and the people on the riverbank took three feet back in fear when they saw their fellow humans filling the river.
These humans, who had been brainwashed for countless generations, finally quieted down. They sat casually on the ground, some still weeping incessantly. Whether their weeping was for God or for their fellow human beings, only they themselves knew.
Suddenly, countless enormous screens appeared in the sky, displaying the details of how the Mu Star Civilization sent the humans they were raising to the insect mouths, explaining everything over and over again, scene after scene, hoping that these people could recognize the truth and wake up again.
Of course, expecting these deeply brainwashed people to wake up just like that is wishful thinking. But this information is like a spark on the prairie; given the right time, it will surely spread like wildfire.
" Old Hu, what are you going to do with these people? If you're going to include them among us, don't blame me for being the first to object."
"It's unfair that you think I'm brain-dead just because you're out of your mind," Hu Yu said with a laugh.
"Thank goodness you didn't get wet. Now what do we do?"
"Either send them to Li Shun's place, or find them a new place to settle down and get them back on the right track. What do you think?"
"Anything is fine as long as they don't end up here. But do you think Li Shun will accept them? Given Li Shun's cunning and selfishness, I doubt he'll take them."
"Let's give it a try. If Li Shun doesn't accept them, we'll find them another place."
The Reaper fleet quickly arrived at Li Shun's territory in the Second Spiral Arm. They did not move away. Faced with the arrival of humans, a large number of disc-shaped ships quickly surrounded them, but the Reaper ignored them and continued on their way to the planet where they had seen Li Shun's image before.
Li Shun was already smiling and waiting on the planet, seemingly having completely forgotten what had happened last time. Hu Yu also projected an image next to Li Shun Li Shun, which was clearly just a shadow.
"Welcome, General."
"Head of State Li Shun, it's been a long time," Hu Yu replied with a forced smile.
"May I ask what brings you here, General?"
"Headmaster Li Shun, there's no need for formalities. We've conquered the territory of the Mu Star Civilization and rescued trillions of your people. I've come to ask if you'd be willing to accept them?"
"Since the general saved them, why not bring them into your ranks?"
" Li Shun! Those are your people. You should be responsible for them. Although they can't help you now, they can become members of civilization with proper education," Hu Yu said sternly.
