Chapter 30

Soon.

They arrived at the very center of the tower, where a ball of light was floating.

Then Su Han patted this woman.

Which scared her into a big jump; her eyes were terrified.

She thought this person was going to make some move.

But he just said playfully.

"Alright, as long as you destroy this gourmet system light ball, all programs will terminate, and this tower will also collapse."

"Now it’s your turn; after all, as the Princess of this planet, descendant of the Seven Kings, and the current successor, you do have the power and weight to make choices for all the people."

Others also looked at this woman with worship.

Legend has it that the seven original kings and that Hikari Su Han met and wrote the story of the Gourmet Planet that followed.

Those who rule the planet are naturally the descendants of those seven kings.

They have the most noble bloodline.

But this woman looked at Su Han with an unbelievable, inconceivable expression.

"Wh-why."

But Su Han looked confused.

"You ask me, who do I ask? I have always respected the behavior of civilizations themselves; since you don't want this, then destroy it."

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Facing all the defenses being unlocked, the Princess didn't fire; she felt something was wrong, but someone beside her fired, and an energy beam hit the light ball.

The light ball became damaged.

And fell down.

All program commands began to stop.

He said excitedly.

"In this way, without the fluctuations released by this tower, my grandchildren in the future will definitely be able to get rid of the curse of short life, and then everyone can escape this planet and create a brand new civilization."

"No longer need to be kept in captivity."

The Princess’s face changed drastically.

She didn't have time to stop it.

She looked at Su Han in fear.

"After this, what exactly will happen?"

"The answer is in the instrument; you have this authority."

The Princess hurriedly went to the console, covered a certain spot with her hand, and sure enough, after a scan, a lot of content and functions appeared on the screen; she noticed an Origin Era record.

She opened it immediately.

A projection appeared here.

That was a scene from hundreds of years ago, the [Yorkshire Pudding people] with nowhere to go, on a barren planet, begging the Interastral Peace Corporation ships, but the ships still left.

After that, many other forces came.

But they all left.

Everyone found it very hard to understand.

"Why is this? What exactly happened back then?"

"Because the [Yorkshiremen] are a low-class, inferior species, mere clumsy artificial lifeforms. It would be no exaggeration to call them a failed product."

The Princess was furious.

Because the one who spoke was Su Han.

She shouted in anger.

"As expected, you are an evil sci..."

Before she could finish, the image changed again. Accompanied by the tearing open of a spatial rift, a figure like a meteor suddenly crashed onto the surface of that planet, causing a great commotion.

And creating a large crater.

Leaving him in tatters.

However, the man didn't care. Instead, after climbing out of the crater, he just lay on the ground.

Tilting his head in thought.

"The explosion radius was too large this time, leading to a chain reaction in space. I must improve it next time. I should also collect and record the data. Also, where did this explosion send me?"

One could see the Yorkshiremen of that time rushing over upon hearing the news.

And upon noticing the man, they handed over the food in their hands.

Offering a helping hand.

Because they thought the man had fainted from hunger.

And the man looked at it with surprise.

"Hmm, decent food. I'll give it a try. This works."

Then he seemed to scan it.

"You gave me the last and best food of your tribe. Did you not consider yourselves?"

Haibara Ai noticed a problem.

There is a bug.

Why was it hundreds of years ago?

The Group Leader's age is nowhere near that old.

But the most terrifying thing.

Was that the people present were so scared their legs went weak, their whole bodies trembling, their faces full of horror.

Because the man on the screen and the young man standing here today.

Looked exactly the same!!!

Holy crap!

This person is Hikari Su Han!

#84 of the Genius Society!

Many people fell to the ground in fear, though the Princess also noticed one aspect.

"Why? Is this the first time you have met our ancestors?"

"But clearly..."

"Clearly you are the artificial lifeforms I created? Heh, you are indeed low-level artificial lifeforms, but you were not created by me. As for just now, hearing this evaluation, are you angry?"

"To me, with a scientific mindset, this only feels inexplicable. Even in experiments, one divides the same group of research subjects into various grades—good, bad, inferior, superior. This is merely a fact. Equality for all, do you think that's possible?"

"Every life will have evolution and different manifestations; they are all independent, not some canned goods on an assembly line."

Because the [Yorkshiremen] are just such a low-level, incomplete species.

The civilization that created them had long since perished.

Facing the defects in their genes and the predicament their race suffered, the civilizations that passed by ignored them one after another.

What they had to face next was only extinction.

After all, those civilizations wouldn't even give them food.

They wouldn't even spare them a glance.

And the voice from the screen continued to come through.

"Hmm, in return for this food you gave me, I'll help you out a little."

Soon, after the man finished his research.

He flicked his hand.

A small tower rapidly grew larger, expanding with the wind. The Gourmet Control Tower, which created countless dreams and beautiful legends, appeared just like that. A massive amount of food descended from the sky; this was the beginning of all legends and epics.

The remaining Yorkshiremen were moved to tears.

"Thank you, thank you."

"They all looked down on us."

"Only you, my lord, reached out a helping hand to us."

"Oh, these are small matters, but I must state one thing: you are failures and wouldn't have lived for more than a few years, or even months. But you seven are special. As long as you are willing to offer everything you have, you can allow the genetic map to spread once again, filling the surface of this planet."

"Thereby giving birth to more [Yorkshiremen]."

"The Gourmet Control Tower will continuously optimize the genome stored within. This process may be quite long, but one day, you will be like normal lifeforms. Before then, you need the food from the Gourmet Control Tower to maintain genetic stability."

After all.

Returning food for food.

This was just a casual act by Su Han; the genes were just a side effect.

He was too lazy to speed it up.

As a result, those seven people all decided to contribute themselves right then and there.

Some had already placed their hands on that ball of light, their bodies turning into light and disappearing, which made Su Han shake his head.

"You clearly still had time."

"My lord, it is enough. We didn't have many days left to live anyway, but to be able to trade for the rise and fall of a civilization, this is the honor of us Yorkshiremen."

"Fine, seeing as you are like this, do you have any other requests?"

"Can you cover up the traces in our descendants' genes? I hope they can grow up in a complete state without inferiority, facing the world. And please leave some words in the genes."

That was the oath of their ancestors from before.

"Perhaps no one will look at us properly, perhaps we will never receive any rescue in the future. But one day, we will make the galaxy know our name! Yorkshiremen!"

"And remember, only that lord did not give up and was willing to save us! This kindness will be passed down to the distant future, for generations to come."

"Which is you."

The Princess wept, kneeling on the ground.

So that was how it was.

In the image, those seven ancestors sacrificed themselves, and all over the planet, there were still Yorkshiremen surviving, though they wouldn't live long with their lifespans.

It was obvious that later generations were all descendants based on these seven.

And the one who had fired the shot earlier was even more dumbfounded.

"No, it's impossible!"

"I personally extinguished the hope of the race? How could this be? We were indeed an artificial race created, but did we suspect the wrong person? No!!!"

In his remorse, he shot himself with his gun.

Su Han just took one look.

"What's the use of that now? The countdown to extinction has already begun."
