"We don't lack people," Li Shun said coldly.
"In that case, I'll consider my trip a waste. Li Shun, take care of yourself. Goodbye."
No need to see me out.
Without pausing, the Reaper set sail and returned to the JD6 base.
"I told you it wasn't necessary, it's a wasted trip."
"Fine, we've done everything we could. Since Li Shun doesn't want them, let's find a place to settle these humans and, while we're at it, turn their minds around."
Where to move?
"Let's find a place to settle down on the edge of the galaxy. What they need right now is safety; everything else is secondary. The edge of the galaxy is the most peaceful place for now."
"Okay, I'll take care of it," Wen Zhonghua said.
To teach these captive humans their first lesson, all the survivors were forcibly herded into the Reaper by robots. Ten billion Reaper were enough to hold trillions of humans, not to mention the current population of less than one trillion.
Many people resisted boarding the Reaper, but under the violent expulsion of the robots, they eventually boarded Reaper. However, during this process, billions of people preferred to die rather than board the ship, demonstrating the depth of the brainwashing.
The warship slowly rose from the land, the powerful thrust of its engines carving a massive crater over a thousand meters deep into the earth. The Reaper retracted some of its armor, revealing huge portholes.
People looked out the portholes and saw their homes shrink little by little until they disappeared, and then the whole world shrank until it became a tiny sphere.
"Isn't our Heavenly God Continent supposed to be square? Why is it a sphere?"
"Strange, I live under a sphere, how come I didn't fall down?"
"Could it be that I'm seeing things?"
"Don't believe anything you see! This is all a smokescreen set up by the dark forces!"
"As God's children, do not be easily deceived by the forces of darkness; God will surely come to our rescue."
The Reaper were in an uproar. Although the voices of doubt were still weak, they had already emerged, which was a good start. However, this little bit of doubt was not enough to wake them up, and Hu Yu did not expect these people to wake up, nor would they.
The Reaper swept up one of the planets modified by the Mu Star Civilization and headed directly towards the edge of the galaxy, completely ignoring the voices inside. As long as there was debate, it was good; at least it proved that although they had been brainwashed, their intelligence was not low. It was just that they lacked experience and knowledge, which was why they were easily brainwashed.
Originally, there were hundreds of planets that had been modified in the Mu Star Civilization, but Hu Yu believed that far more than that would be needed. Very few of these people would survive, because a brutal survival test awaited them. Hu Yu did not intend to spend a lot of time sending personnel to educate them, not only because the fleet did not have the time, but also because sending personnel would put their lives in danger.
The fleet quickly reached the edge of the galaxy, where a small-mass star emitted a soft glow. It had no planets and ran alone along the edge of the galaxy.
The fleet placed the planet directly in the orbit of the star, tilting it to a similar angle to Earth's orbit, making the seasons more distinct. The distance from the star is also one astronomical unit, but because the star is smaller than the Sun, the planet's highest temperature will not exceed 20 degrees Celsius.
After settling the planet, the fleet immediately opened fire, destroying all structures on the planet, returning it to its original state, and spreading various bacteria and viruses, turning the planet's environment into a relatively harsh state.
The humans from the Reaper were dumped onto the planet, and after several events, there are still over 800 billion people. However, the planet is large enough to accommodate them because there are currently no buildings or facilities occupying the space. Although the planet's land area accounts for 50%, it still feels somewhat crowded.
But that doesn't matter. It won't be crowded for long. In the territory of the Mu Star Civilization, when these people are hungry, divine messengers will immediately bring them food; when they are cold, divine messengers will bring them clothes; and when they are sick, a divine messenger can simply touch them and they will be cured. They don't have to do anything to eat well, dress well, and have fun. Moreover, the environment on the planet is excellent, with spring-like weather all year round. They live in spacious and bright houses and eat all kinds of delicacies.
Now things are different. Their first problems are cold and hunger, and the fleet has not provided them with any food or clothing.
The people, who were used to being served, were initially quite curious, but they soon discovered that it was very cold. Winter was approaching in the Northern Hemisphere, and the low temperatures here made the humans, who had come from spring, feel very uncomfortable. They cried out, hoping that the divine messengers would come to their aid.
"Listen up, everyone! From this day forward, you will no longer have any so-called gods to help you. Your so-called gods are nothing more than creatures that are slightly smarter than you. From now on, you must find a way to survive. No one will help you. You need to start by learning the most basic things, such as farming, hunting, and making fire. You must fight against natural disasters, diseases, and injuries."
"Less than one in ten thousand of you will survive, but as long as you survive, the future will still be bright, and you may even surpass your so-called gods. I know this is cruel, but it is the only way for you to be reborn from the ashes. I will leave one hundred machine towers on this planet."
"The machine towers are indestructible, and their energy is enough to sustain them for ten thousand years. The machine towers will provide you with some basic survival skills and will also monitor your development. They will provide you with matching technological assistance, but of course, this is only a little help; ultimately, you will have to rely on yourselves."
Finally, I wish you all the best, and I hope that some of you will survive.
Hu Yu could no longer control what happened next, nor did he need to. The fate of these humans was tragic, but it was still a hundred times better than being sent to the insects' mouths.
Hu Yu only hoped that some of them could survive, but that this generation would never wake up. Even if there were doubts, it would be difficult to shake God's position in their hearts. Hu Yu hoped that the harsh natural environment and life-and-death trials would make this generation forget God, or at least prevent them from having the energy to spread the concept of God to the next generation.
After several generations, the image of God will become increasingly illusory, and the concept of God will become increasingly diluted. The focus will inevitably shift to survival. Only after this transformation is completed will they truly embark on the correct path of development.
" Fang Wei, you are the only one who is conscious. We have now used biotechnology to repair your body and extend your lifespan. You don't need to worry about the rest. There are some practical survival tips in the 100 machine towers. We hope you will find them useful. Live on, and when the time is right, reappear to completely destroy the existence of God."
"Thank you, General. I will certainly do my best."
