Have you been preparing for twenty years?
Lin Qing couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Indeed, creating such terrifyingly powerful bombs surely isn't easy, and over seven thousand of them must have been prepared long in advance.
This is just a means of self-preservation.
Chu Hongjun said slowly: When the extraterrestrial civilization's main force arrives on Earth in two years, this threat will be unstoppable. If there's really no other way, I'll detonate the bombs.
Qi Lingxiao abruptly looked at him.
Would you really detonate them? Irenado couldn't help asking.
Chu Hongjun glanced at her and said: Earth's treasures are limited, and Earth is more special than the extraterrestrial civilizations imagine. If it's exposed in the universe, that would be the real trouble.
He paused, Or do you think it's better for Earth people to be treated as slaves or experimental material, casually sold by the extraterrestrial civilizations?
After all, it's eighty billion people…
Irenado sighed and said: You're not the kind to perish with the enemy out of emotion. What happens after you destroy the Earth?
Chu Hongjun said: During this period, the extraterrestrial civilization will try to revive Earth, reforming it into a life planet and trying to reconnect the ruins space with Earth. This process will take at least a century, which is also a breathing period.
He glanced at Irenado and said: I've already made preparations. You'll be responsible for the fireseed plan when the time comes.
Irenado was silent for a moment, then sighed: I'm not good at fighting and can't intervene, but I still hope Earth doesn't meet such an end, or rather... does such an end really justify the sacrifice of so many of our compatriots?
The atmosphere immediately fell into silence.
Humans always consider themselves the center of the universe.
Chu Hongjun said expressionlessly: But the universe is cold, civilization ultimately faces only survival or extinction. If the death of an era can become the fertilizer for the next, that would be the best outcome.
He looked at the silent Qi Lingxiao beside him, Qi Lingxiao, compared to seventy years ago, you've grown a lot. Do you now have the determination to shoulder this civilization?
Qi Lingxiao sighed and scratched his head, I never wanted to be a leader, I just wanted more people to survive. But you told me to first learn to give up. Back in the Apocalypse Period, I thought I had learned, but I never expected that there would come a day to give up on eighty billion people...
Chu Hongjun was silent for a moment, then said: Can you see the future?
The future? Qi Lingxiao questioned in confusion.
The future of Earth civilization, if it can survive, might have thousands of planets as territories.
Chu Hongjun said slowly: The population would be counted in quadrillions, with an average lifespan over a thousand years, original life forms emerging endlessly, star creatures continually born, territories expanding, even perhaps evolving towards the legendary second-level civilization...
He looked at Qi Lingxiao, Such a future, compared to the tragic future of Earth people becoming slaves or commodities... Anyone can see the right choice, right?
Qi Lingxiao said helplessly: I understand your point, but this is eighty billion people... No matter what the future is, it's unrelated to them. Are they willing to sacrifice themselves?
Chu Hongjun slightly shook his head, Your sense of responsibility is too strong, you're too empathetic with others. If not for your extreme luck, you would've already died in the Apocalypse Period.
I know I'm not a suitable leader. Qi Lingxiao spread his hands, But the future you speak of may not necessarily come true. Let alone a second-level civilization, that's still far from us, right?
I understand, the most suitable leader for Earth civilization isn't you, but... Chu Hongjun didn't continue but turned to look at Lin Qing.
Chu Hongjun looked at Lin Qing, Lin Qing, do you think such a future can be realized?
Lin Qing thought seriously for a while, then said earnestly: I believe as long as we hold out, it can definitely be achieved. I'm prepared for it as well.
He was destined to surpass all the geniuses of Level One Civilization, and with the authority of the Tenth Energy Level, it was only a matter of time before Earth civilization reached the peak of Level One Civilization.
It's only because we don't understand second-level civilization that we're uncertain.
Chu Hongjun's vision of the future was surely based on this judgment.
Chu Hongjun nodded gently, You continue cultivating. In these two years that I've fought for you, let's see how far you can go. At the very least, you need to become an Original Divine Office. It would be even better if you could self-automate stars.
Lin Qing nodded, saying: In a few months, I'm going to Ruin One. It would be best to achieve the Original Divine Position before the Celestial Vault Islands open this year.
He paused and asked: What other ruins are there from the previous civilization? Preferably those that would help with the Original Level Divine Position Trial.
Qi Lingxiao asked in confusion: Lin Qing, you've already mastered divine skills. Shouldn't the trial for the Original Level Commander's position be a piece of cake?
Normally, with multiple sets of holy texts, there would be a high certainty of passing the trial for rare Original Level divine positions.
For those who mastered powerful divine skills, it would be even easier to sweep the field.
Lin Qing pondered how to say it, he didn't want to admit he was primarily worried about the Divine Son trial.
To face geniuses from second-level civilizations, one divine skill was far from enough.
There are a total of six ruins.
And Chu Hongjun seemed to have read Lin Qing's mind, saying directly: Ruin One, the Vacuum Tomb, is probably the most important ruin of the previous civilization. Although the entrance to Ruin Two has also been found, the entry requirements are exceedingly high.
