Chapter 625: We shall make our ancestors proud

Against a pure black background, white characters continuously emerged, like white stones falling onto a chessboard, striking the heart of every viewer with a rhythmic, crisp sound.

Herta sat at her desk wearing headphones, but her mind was not on the work at hand, nor was it on the soothing music.

Even the usually calm minds of those with superior intellects, such as Ruan Mei and Screwllum, were stirred by ripples.

Having finished her tasks and fled the scene of the crime, Silver Wolf had just picked up her game console and, before she could even celebrate the recovery of her account, her attention was drawn away by "SCP-4138."

Fu Xuan stopped in her tracks, rubbing her brow while letting out a long sigh.

"The 'Great Filter' is man-made; it is what caused the extinction of almost all prehistoric intelligent civilizations within the galaxy..."

"Civilizations born within this galaxy are truly plagued by misfortune... One must guard against the 'Great Filter' from without, and beware of the 'Fifth Starfish' coming over for a visit from within."

Taking advantage of others being too busy to pay her any mind, the genius card-playing girl addicted to slacking off, Qingque, was also shocked by the Foundation's archives.

"Going to such great lengths to build a 'Great Filter'—could it be to prevent civilizations from engaging in internal involution? What a genius idea!"

……

With the exposure of "SCP-4138," a new wave of discussion surged across the network.

"What kind of place is Earth? The ancestors of Earthlings are truly formidable, inventing an SCP capable of countering the 'Great Filter'."

"It is hard to say where Earth is, but if the Foundation's archives are not mistaken, it is likely the common origin of all human civilizations."

"That's right. Since civilizations other than Earth's are destined to be purged, doesn't that make Earth civilization the only one in the galaxy capable of surviving?" ===== CHAPTER 627 =====
