Chapter 1442: When Humanity's Stars Shine Brightest (1)

When Humanity's Stars Shine Brightest (1)

[Director Chen, seeing these words is like seeing me in person.]

[It's been three hundred years since we last met. Have you been well?]

[Just now was a bit rushed, I didn't get to properly catch up with you. But looking at your state, it's probably quite good.]

[I have already resolved the matter with Lou Yu. I know you might have some opinions about him, but I understand him. Lou Yu is not a bad person in the true sense... It's just that his way of thinking about problems is rather extreme.]

[Over these three hundred years, human society has truly undergone tremendous changes. I remember before I fell asleep, the Tianshu Domain was still a place the size of a small town. When I went out just now, I found that it had actually turned into an appearance I couldn't imagine...]

[I still remember back then when several of us sat together and discussed what humanity would be like after the Great Cataclysm. Qi Muyun said it would probably be like in a wasteland novel, where everyone lives a hard life in an underground world in rags, fighting for the few remaining resources, and then arduously pioneering the outside world; Lou Yu said many steel factories would be built in the world because sturdy and reliable tools are needed in a wasteland world; Ji Xuan said maybe everyone would awaken abnormal abilities together, and then immediately test the ability level, having a 'Three Stages of Sword Power'!]

[But none of us back then expected that the world three hundred years after the Great Cataclysm would actually be so prosperous... It turns out that even without efficient power generation technology, lights can still illuminate the city's night; it turns out that even if internal combustion engines cannot be started, there are still people who will modify steam engines to make cars; it turns out that in this era, everyone can still rely on the domain train to shuttle between different cities. The residents can still live well within the domains, have enough food, warm clothes, schools, and performances...]

[Forgive me for being a science student, I don't know how to describe that feeling. But my mood when I saw the Tianshu Domain was like when I just came out of the orphanage in the county town and arrived in Shanghai for the first time... Shock, being moved, and an indescribable awe.]

[Unfortunately... I don't have the time to properly understand this domain anymore.]

[I have already calculated the precise trajectory of the Red Star. The margin of error should be within minutes and seconds. After I die, my body will return to the universe, drifting along a set trajectory in the deep space of the universe. In this process, stars will gather towards me...]

[When the Red Star descends, I will return in the form of a star, becoming the 'satellite' of all humanity.]

[This is the last thing I can do for humanity.]

[After that, we can only rely on you all...]

[It was you who led us onto this path back then. This path is very difficult and very bitter, but we have never regretted it... I, Ji Xuan, Lou Yu, Chu Changqing, Qi Muyun, Su Zhiwei, Wu Tongyuan, Yang Xiao, Wen Ruoshui, although our personalities are different and our methods are different, please believe...]

[The Nine Monarchs, will always be humanity's Nine Monarchs.]

[Finally...]

[Human civilization, will never extinguish.]

Rustle, rustle——

The neatly written letter paper was blown crisp by the howling gale.

A fair young man's palm silently clenched a corner of this letter paper. The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe fluttered loudly in the wind. The head with the black ponytail tied high slowly looked up, those deep and complex eyes looking up at the firmament...

Above the firmament filled with a red sunset, a resplendent star dragging a long tail streaked across the sky, as if having precisely predicted the Red Star's trajectory long ago, crashing towards it!!

Someone might ask, in this era where even nuclear weapons do not exist, how can humanity intercept a shooting star in the universe?

The answer is...

The Lord of Tianshu, Lu Xun.

...

"It's a shooting star!!!"

When this shooting star tore through the red sunset and streaked across the sky, someone on the chaotic and despairing battlefield shouted in shock.

Everyone looked up, their mouths unconsciously opening wide...

"A shooting star!! Where did a shooting star come from?!"

"Wait... the trajectory of this shooting star..."

"Can it hit?!! Can it really hit?!!"

"Could it be that even the heavens feel our lives shouldn't end here, so they specially sent a shooting star to save us?!!"

"Miracle... This is a miracle!!!!"

"..."

Noisy and chaotic voices came from all around. Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua, who were on the battlefield, were also stunned. They looked blankly at that shooting star crashing straight towards the Red Star. For a moment, their brains couldn't even process it.

"Speaking of which, I had a doubt before."

Sun Bumian's voice rang out from the side.

Only to see this figure wearing a Tang suit walking straight over here. He pushed the small round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes looking complexly at that shooting star streaking across the sky,

"The mission of our Dusk Society is to recover the Nine Monarchs... But the Lord of Tianshu obviously died in battle long ago. Why hasn't his corpse been recovered all this time?"

Jian Changsheng seemed to have thought of something, his eyes immediately widening,

"Are you saying..."

"I'm afraid, that shooting star rushing towards the Red Star... is the Lord of Tianshu."

...

"That's... the Lord of Tianshu?!!"

In the Hidden Clouds Domain, the Master of the Babel Tower and the others saw this scene, their expressions incomparably horrified.

Not just them, the Tianshu Domain, the Hanging Jade Domain, the Hidden Clouds Domain... People from all the domains didn't anticipate the appearance of that shooting star. It was like a savior descending from the sky, allowing them to see a miraculous glimmer of life in this despairing situation!

It wasn't even just humans; even those several World-Ending Calamities desperately attacking the domains were somewhat blank at this moment.

The Calamity of Delusion confronting Chu Changqing widened its beast pupils, looking at the sky;

The flesh and blood Turbid Buddha that occupied the Tower to Heaven slowly raised its head, toxic mist surging;

The Calamity of Taboo crawling rapidly in the melting Gray World stopped its body, its lantern swaying;

The Cessation Calamity frantically slaughtering lives abruptly stopped its movements, the gale suddenly vanishing;

Even that aged figure holding up the human Demigod Domain in the ruins preparing to resist the Red Star, looked up at the firmament in disbelief. The Thought Storm churned frantically, but it was hard to calm the shock in its heart...

No wonder until now, humanity's Nine Monarchs hadn't launched any effective counterattack...

The goal of the World-Endings was to breach the domains and seek survival as much as possible during the Red Star's Return;

But the gaze of humanity's Nine Monarchs had looked further away from the very beginning.

The layout and vision of humanity's Nine Monarchs had long been above the World-Endings. When the World-Endings only thought about slaughtering to survive, the Lord of Tianshu had long ago been preparing a method to counter the Red Star!

At this moment, an indescribable complexity and loss suddenly surged in the Thought Calamity's heart... It planned everything, calculated everything, but when that shooting star appeared, it finally realized just how "immature" the things it had done were.

It realized that Calamities and humans... were ultimately different.

...

The theatrical robe with a red background and black patterns fluttered silently on the other side of the earth.

Chen Ling saw with his own eyes,

That shooting star flying out from among the stars crashed straight into the corner of the Red Star...

In this grand and silent collision, that shooting star instantly shattered to pieces. But at the same time, a corner of the Red Star was also smashed off!

This terrifying existence that was about to hit Earth was actually forcefully smashed into deflecting slightly, flying towards the edge of Earth!
