Chapter 2: The Land of Light's coordinates have been openly announced; Three-Body people exclaim that they are bringing about their

Saibotan

"Interesting."

Qingtianzhu looked at these words and said in a deep voice,

"Surveying civilizations? I'm curious what kind of civilization could be called 'shocking'."

"He hopes to see a civilization shining with wisdom and peace."

"Not like the Decepticons, who only know conquest and destruction."

Green Grassland

"Tch, playing mystic." Huitailang curled his lip, "What's so shocking about it? Can it be more shocking than my wife's frying pan?"

Tang People Great Road Divine Realm

Divine Realm Committee Center,

A blue-haired, blue-clad Divine King Tangshan also gazed in astonishment at the enormous celestial screen on the horizon.

Beside him, a pink little rabbit lazily leaned against his shoulder.

"Strange, even my Divine King's power cannot detect what this celestial screen is; could it not be from the Divine Realm?"

In an instant,

Tangshan chuckled lightly:

"Survey the top ten shocking civilizations among all worlds?"

"I don't know if my Tang People Continent Divine Realm can make the list."

On his shoulder, the pink rabbit chirped:

"Of course, Brother Shan, you are now a Divine King with dual god positions!"

"Among all worlds, you ought to be the leader; which civilization could rival a Divine King?"

Upon hearing that,

Tangshan gently stroked the pink rabbit before him and spoke softly:

"A Wu, you're not wrong."

"After all, I am now the Head of the Divine Realm Committee, a Divine King holding both the Water God and Asura God positions; it's no surprise to make the ranking."

"All I don't know is who else will be on the list; maybe I can spar with those civilizations."

The pink rabbit shook its head and cheered:

"Brother Shan, you're mighty!"

Singer Civilization

The Singer Civilization hummed a lively tune, singing a ballad of death.

Its mission is 【Clearing】.

Regarding this suddenly appearing celestial screen, it remained indifferent, merely continuing to hum its beloved song.

Three-Body Earth

Red Coast Old Site

Ye Wenjie, together with countless others, looked up at the celestial screen hanging on the horizon.

A flicker of shock passed through her aged eyes.

Survey the top ten shocking civilizations?

Civilization?

"In this world, besides the Lord, are there any other civilizations?"

She muttered softly.

Inside the rented house.

Jiang Li lounged with his legs crossed, as if he could hear the confusion and complaints of the entire universe.

"Don't rush, fellas, the shocking stuff is coming soon; editing videos also takes time, you know."

He muttered, then pressed the play button.

Immediately after, the second line of text appeared.

【TOP10: M78 Nebula—Ultraman Civilization】

【The ranking indicates only order, not civilization strength】

Three-Body World

"Boom—"

"If thought had sound, then at this moment, inside the Three-Body Command Center, there would undoubtedly be the tremendous roar of billions of stars exploding simultaneously."

"M78 Nebula!"

"This is a star system coordinate!"

"A clear interstellar coordinate!"

"Just like that… exposed?"

"Directly, brutally, without any concealment, exposed before the entire universe!"

"What on earth does this celestial screen intend to do?"

"The leader's thoughts solidified."

"Everything he knew, everything he believed in, was struck at this moment by an unprecedented impact."

"In this dark forest of the universe, every civilization is a hunter with a gun; any life that reveals its presence will soon be wiped out."

"This is the sole truth won by countless civilizations through blood and destruction!"

But now... someone is openly trampling this truth.

Madman!

This is a madman! A madman courting his own destruction!

What are they doing? Are they broadcasting their own graves to the entire universe?!

A trap! This is absolutely an unprecedented trap!

The executive officials' thoughts were tangled in chaotic refutation and speculation, but the head of state grasped the most crucial point:

Does the civilization that created this light curtain need to use such a lowly trap?

No.

Then, the truth remains only one possibility, one that freezes his very thought.

In the heart of the head of state, for the first time, doubt arose toward the Dark Forest Law.

Jiang Li watched as the system panel popped up the prompt: 'Three-Body Civilization's wavering of the Dark Forest Law,'

He scratched his head: 'Huh? Dark Forest? What nonsense? Chuunibyou? Just reporting an address, is that a big deal? Making it like doxxing, small-minded, bro—we cosmic hooligans are always out on patrol.'

Meanwhile, on Earth,

Near the former site of Red Coast Base, Ye Wenjie stared fixedly at the sky with her cloudy eyes.

M78 Nebula...

A coordinate...

She recalled the moment, long ago, when she herself pressed the launch button.

Because she exposed Earth's coordinates, she summoned the Three-Body, driving all of human civilization into the abyss.

For this, she bore a lifetime of guilt.

But now, the civilization called the Land of Light has had its coordinates disclosed so easily, even ostentatiously.

A huge sense of absurdity and desolation welled up in her heart.

Could it be that the decisions she made, having spent her life and staked everything on them, are merely a laughable error on the true cosmic scale?

When the myriad heavens civilizations were all speculating about the M78 Nebula,

The light curtain's image moved.

On a sapphire-blue planet, a huge, ugly monster was rampantly destroying cities.

Just then, a beam of light descended from the heavens.

The light faded, and a silver-red giant over forty meters tall appeared before the monster.

Here it comes! Here it comes!

Jiang Li instantly perked up, becoming the live commentator: 'BGM start! Look at this classic entrance, those perfect muscle lines, that sparkling timer… cough, just the endurance is a bit lacking.'

What kind of creature is this?

Optimus Prime's optical lens slightly magnified, carefully analyzing the giant's structure,

'A perfect streamlined body, full of strength, yet it appears to be a pure biological entity, not mechanical.'

From this giant he felt a pure and powerful energy,

and a… guardian's aura.

'Wow! So big!' Grey Wolf's eyes lit up instantly, his mouth forming an 'O' shape.

His mind no longer held thoughts of catching sheep; instead, a splendid idea took hold.

If… if Grey Wolf King could also create such a big fellow,

Never mind Pleasant Goat; the whole Goat Village would have to be delivered to him as a snack!

The Three-Body people were frantically calculating.

'Energy reaction extremely high! Far surpassing any known individual weapon on Earth!'

'Biological mode analysis… similar to Earth's upright organisms, surface smooth, no hair or genitalia seen.'

Jiang Li watched his edited video, along with the audiences of the myriad heavens.

However, compared to other civilizations' curiosity, shock, and bewilderment,

he instead watched while shaking his head:

'Oh no, invincible Zoffy old brother has come to Earth again; this episode is to avenge his sixth brother Taro, too bad Firebird Barton sends you off to buy soy sauce, afterwards people will call you Big Flame Head!'

After saying that, Jiang Li savored it a bit; it was actually quite rhyming.

As expected of me!
