Chapter 618: File ends, shocked crowd

Even though they were not born on that burning planet, after witnessing the division of the race and the baptism of fire of civilization, many people felt deep sympathy for the Foundation's encounter there.

Watching the "Empyrean Parasite" and a group of bizarre divinities quietly drift away, chasing the deep space of the universe.

This feeling became even more wonderful.

The Foundation fighting to defend the "status quo," and the gods fighting to accept the "anomaly."

Who is right and who is wrong.

It no longer matters.

What matters is the choice.

The Foundation chose to stick to the "status quo," choosing to separate "anomalous" existences from the "daily" world, as they had done countless times in the past.

No problem.

They have always been for the continuation of "humanity."

It is to survive in a world filled with various anomalous things, in a world that can be completely erased by monsters and ghosts if one is not careful.

Choosing such a path means they are destined to be cautious about all "anomalies" and vigilant about all unknown powers.

Instead of seeing tempting fruits and pouncing on them to tear them apart.

Mutants chose to flip the Foundation and embrace the "anomaly."

No problem either.

What they pursue is their own strength, and what they show is their own greatness and freedom.

Perhaps in their view, what is "human" is not important, and what "anomaly" is is not important, because they are already a group of "anomalous" existences that cannot be ignored.

Breaking away from the Foundation's control and no longer being contained by the Foundation is the most important thing.

Walking on this path, they are destined to resist the Foundation and contact everything that the Foundation regards as taboo, even if they are buried in it.

These are two choices when facing "anomalies."

Choosing either is fine.

But after choosing, there is no room for regret.

Whether it succeeds or not is finally decided by time, witnessed by descendants after endless time.

Looking back, perhaps the Foundation's choice is more correct.

The Foundation in the audience's universe, after hundreds of thousands of years of development, has spanned the multiverse, contained divinities, and even has the qualifications to defeat the harvest of Supreme Divinity.

"The 'Empyrean Parasite,' and those divinities, where have they developed to now?"

"No one knows, unless they take the initiative to appear… but one thing is certain, if they dare to mess around in this universe, only destruction awaits them."

"Uh… I believe you that the Foundation can flip all Aeons, but is it a bit too exaggerated to flip tens of thousands of divinities and a Supreme Divinity?"

"Let's list the combat power. The Administrator will likely take action, and others who might take action include 'Mary Nakayama' and 'Calvin Desmet,' two Supreme Divinities with Foundation backgrounds."

"My Foundation is invincible!"

The screen hasn't ended yet.

The magma on the earth has cooled, and the fire on the ocean has been extinguished.

And outside the atmosphere, magnificent starships are dragging trails in the stars, gradually entering orbit.

In the command room, the old man with a face full of wrinkles walked slowly to the porthole, his frail arms trembling as he raised them, and his palms rested on the window.

"4000 years have passed…"

Behind him, the young captain reported:

"According to the Hume index, there are still reality anchors operating in the area corresponding to the Yellowstone Mountains."

"Preliminary speculation, 'Containment-2000'—'Deus Ex Machina' is not completely damaged."

At this point, the screen ended, and lines of text appeared.

【File Name: Shape of the Gun (Ascension)】

【Time: ██ Year ██ Month ██ Day.】

【Action Location: ██】

【When the Foundation of this universe used the "Edith Lens" to observe parallel universes, it observed this history that happened in ancient times.】

【It is speculated that the "Empyrean Parasite" had taken root here before organic macromolecules appeared on Earth, but for some reason, it did not intervene in the evolution of Earth life.】

【The events that occurred in the parallel universe numbered ██ indicate that "Containment-3699" should have a considerable degree of subjective consciousness.】

【According to existing observation results, Dr. ██ speculated that the "Empyrean Parasite" might guide civilization when it develops to a certain stage, making the development direction of civilization lean toward the thaumaturgical line.】

【We failed to know what the purpose of "Containment-3699" making such guidance was. The subsequent progress of the observation mission using the "Edith Lens" was not smooth, and it was suspected of being interfered with by the "Empyrean Parasite."】

【For this kind of interference, the Foundation is not surprised. The only regret is that we have no way of knowing how the guys who think they have ascended are doing.】

【Therefore, in order to ensure the continuation of "humanity," with the permission of the O5 Council and the final permission of the Administrator, a specialized weapon against the "Empyrean Parasite" and its kin has been developed.】

【To ensure that when the "Empyrean Parasite" and its kin appear in the multiverse range under the jurisdiction of the Foundation, the Foundation and many affiliated civilizations will strike them effectively at the first time.】

【With the permission of the O5 Council and the final permission of the Administrator, the Foundation has passed the "Special Act Against the 'Empyrean Parasite'."】

【Any individual, organization, or civilization that witnesses or discovers the "Empyrean Parasite" has the obligation to report it.】

【For any individual, organization, or civilization that violates this act, the Foundation has the right to implement space blockades and route control on its affiliated star regions until the "Empyrean Parasite" and its kin are completely expelled or killed.】

……

Accompanied by the disappearance of the file text line by line.

The audience watching the live broadcast not only failed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the stone that had already landed in their hearts was immediately hung high again.

This live broadcast is not so much a popular science exposure as it is a serious statement and warning.

First, inform all those in power:

"The 'Empyrean Parasite' can indeed allow ordinary people to gain power comparable to Aeons, without paying any price, and ascend to divinity."

"However, do you intend to follow in the footsteps of the parallel world Foundation?"

Then warn all ambitious people who are eager to try:

"You can certainly know without reporting, as long as you can resist the pressure with the 'Empyrean Parasite' later."

As for the "expulsion or killing" mentioned by the Foundation, it has also been automatically translated as—

"Beat the 'Empyrean Parasite' and drive it out of the universe, and the others, prepare to be bombed."

……

"Once this statement is issued, even if 'Containment-3699' descends into this universe, no one will take a chance to contact it and ascend to divinity, right?"

"Hehe."

"Brother, you think of people too simply… which civilization doesn't have 'Civil Law' and 'Criminal Law,' and which civilization doesn't have criminals who violate these regulations?"

"50% profit, someone will take risks; 100% profit, someone will dare to trample on all laws; more than 300% profit, they are even willing to risk being hanged… How much profit do you think becoming a god is? I think it's infinite."

"Yes, immortal, rampant in the galaxy, not even putting the once-revered Aeons in their eyes, anyway, if you don't become a god, you will die, but after becoming a god, you can live forever."

"If I can't become an immortal, then let me be destroyed!"

"Sigh, I think the Foundation is fishing. The background has already silently recorded who is going crazy here today, and after checking it every once in a while, if a problem is found, they will strike hard."

"No, this act is likely just a greeting. In the future, if they find a civilization affected by the 'Empyrean Parasite,' the Foundation will directly declare war without warning."

……

March 7th blinked her pink eyes and looked at Bai Xuan:

"…The Foundation's statement is written so seriously."

Bai Xuan smiled back:

"Probably to respond to the ending of colleagues in parallel worlds… If it wasn't said so heavily, when the 'Empyrean Parasite' really descends, I'm afraid quite a lot of people will choose to ascend."

"Becoming a god…" March 7th scratched her hair embarrassedly, her eyes glancing to the side, "That is indeed too attractive, ah, no, I mean, I wonder what the universe looks like in the eyes of divinity, I'm really curious."

Dan Heng sighed:

"Before this file, humanity's attitude toward Aeons was only awe and fear. Even if geniuses like Miss Herta tried to crack the secrets of Aeons, they wouldn't fantasize that they could replace them."

"After this file, people's hearts will definitely be restless."

"I have seen many 'dreamers' who fantasized about getting a lot of credits while lying on the bed… Now, these 'dreamers' only need to change the result of the fantasy to 'becoming a god'."

Welt Yang nodded.

"Empyrean Parasite," worthy of being the Supreme Divinity that ignites the spiritual fire.

Before igniting the spiritual fire of mortals, let their desires burn fiercely first. ===== CHAPTER 620 =====
