Chapter 424
Countless readers put down what they were doing and opened the second volume of *Three-Body* for the first time.
They saw that on the basis of the first volume, the Three-Body people dispatched a huge cosmic fleet to head straight for the solar system, and Earth civilization began to face an unprecedented crisis.
At the same time, unprecedented stories such as the Wallfacer Project, Wallfacers, and Wallbreakers firmly grabbed the readers' attention and slowly unfolded in front of everyone.
As the game between Earthlings and Three-Body people unfolded, everyone saw the doomsday battle between the Three-Body civilization's detector, the Droplet, and the human fleet finally break out.
At this moment, a deafening sentence was placed in front of everyone.
【To destroy you, what does it have to do with you?!】
A few short words left countless people shocked and speechless, and they were stunned on the spot.
From this sentence, many people even felt a kind of pale helplessness of a low-level civilization facing a high-level civilization; it was a submission to absolute power!
Some readers' hair stood on end.
Some readers shuddered violently.
Some readers even saw this page and didn't click to the next page for a long time.
After finally suppressing the shock in his heart, he saw Luo Ji go through layers of research and finally crack the Dark Forest Law.
Until this moment, countless readers finally slowly exhaled the breath they had been holding.
"Good guy! The Dark Forest Law finally appeared!"
"How can anyone write a novel so well?!"
"It made my scalp tingle; it simply reshaped my worldview!"
……
Seeing Luo Ji threaten the entire universe by announcing the coordinates of the Three-Body world, stopping the Three-Body invasion of the solar system, countless readers, even after finishing the second volume *The Dark Forest*, were still immersed in the story and couldn't extricate themselves.
The law of the Dark Forest seemed to shroud everyone's heart like the fear of death.
Terror is not without a solution!
A group of readers were even more shocked to discover a reality.
They originally thought the first volume *Three-Body* was already the peak of sci-fi.
But the second volume *Three-Body 2: The Dark Forest* raised the height of the first volume *Three-Body 1: Earth's Past* by a large margin again!
Ye Xuan told everyone with facts.
He never has a peak.
There is only better, no best!
At this moment, the readers who finished the second volume first could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and screamed like marmots online.
"I want to blow up this man named Ye Xuan; *Three-Body* is definitely the peak of hard sci-fi! Unprecedented, and there will be no one after him; no rebuttal allowed!"
"The macro world in *Three-Body* is something I haven't felt in any other book; I was stunned!"
"Of the ten buckets of Chinese sci-fi, Ye Xuan occupies nine!"
"Supplementing the floor above, it's clearly Ye Xuan occupying twelve buckets, and others owe two buckets!"
"Front row, you really know how to comment! Can only shout 'Awesome'!"
……
Just as some readers were discussing it eloquently online, another group of readers couldn't wait to look at the third volume *Three-Body 3: Death's End*.
Many readers gradually came up with similar questions.
The second volume is already the peak; can the third volume create a higher peak?!
Facts told them.
Ye Xuan certainly can!
The story of the third volume continues to unfold along the settings of the first two volumes, and the war with the Three-Body civilization made humanity see the truth of the cosmic darkness for the first time.
Earth civilization was like a great enemy because of the Dark Forest Law and dared not expose itself in space.
And as Luo Ji, the guardian who truly protected the Earth for fifty-four years, he received such feedback.
【Humanity does not thank Luo Ji.】
Even though it was the height of summer, many people felt as if they were trapped in a cold cellar and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Seeing this guardian face a white wall all day long, not saying a word for fifty-four years, living as a machine of deterrence, maintaining the balance between the Three-Body world and the Earth world.
But unexpectedly, as time passed, he turned from a savior into a monster, while the cowardly Cheng Xin was chosen to act as the Swordholder who holds the fate of the Earth.
Just like that, she made the wrong decision.
As Cheng Xin made a series of stupid, saintly behaviors, countless readers started to get angry and wanted to curse.
"If you don't have the diamond drill, don't take on the porcelain work!"
"The water here is very deep; you can't handle it, child!"
"This Cheng Xin really pissed me off; Dog Xuan did it on purpose to piss us off, right?!"
Seeing humanity approaching extinction, Luo Ji became the "grave keeper" of the Earth civilization museum, and Cheng Xin, as a survivor, left on a light-speed spaceship, and the story of *Three-Body* ended.
But outside the story, the era surrounding *Three-Body* seemed to have just arrived.
Some readers have already started to record the golden sentences that appeared in *Three-Body* one by one.
"Damn it! Why don't I have this peerless writing style?! Lose humanity, lose a lot; lose beastliness, lose everything."
"And that sentence: Give civilization to time, not time to civilization! Ah ah ah ah ah, Ye Gouzi's writing is truly perfect!"
"I read the *Three-Body* book and didn't react for a long time; when I looked up at the stars again, everything changed! The Lord doesn't care, scalp tingling!"
"God is a shameless old gambler; he abandoned us! This sentence is truly perfect!"
"Ye Xuan is awesome in his brain holes; human-shaped array computers, cosmic models, just take weapons for example: Droplets, Dual-Vector Foils, Zero-Returner universe restart, isn't this much more awesome than foreign laser swords and laser guns?!"
With the completion of the *Three-Body* trilogy, the popularity of *Three-Body* swept the whole country.
Even a group of well-known media outlets joined in one after another.
【The Paper: Masterpiece *Three-Body* is born!】
【Phoenix: A book everyone must read — *Three-Body*】
【Sohu: A sci-fi masterpiece that no one will surpass within a hundred years, *Three-Body*!】
【Baidu: An epic masterpiece that shakes the worldview, *Three-Body*!】
……
And below the media, countless netizens' comments piled up into high buildings.
"After reading this book, I am completely immersed in the world and can't recover at all!"
"The most terrifying thing about *Three-Body* is that after removing the world perspective, it is very likely to make the same choice as Earthlings! This is not sci-fi; I almost thought he was writing realism?! 【Crying 1.0】"
"The logic and cognition in the book have subverted my imagination!"
And just as the whole internet was buzzing with the popularity of *Three-Body*, a piece of news suddenly landed at the top of every trending search list.
【Three-Body wins the Hugo Award for Best Novel!】
