Many small worlds surrounding the major one, like satellites with just a few mountains and so lakes, span no more than a hundred miles in diater, making it highly unlikely for any overly complex chains of biological evolution to exist.
Yet therein often reside indigenous people, which is utterly baffling.
The first explanation is that the history of mankind is much deeper than imagined. The mulberry leaves grow silently, and over the millennia, humankind’s footsteps have spread across each small world.
But this explanation also has a significant doubt: Why do humans exist in completely separate major worlds?
It’s sowhat reasonable for every continent on Earth to have human inhabitants.
Yet finding humans on Venus and Mars is quite abnormal. Given the vast distances between major worlds, and without sufficient team strength, could anyone really cross these distances?
Hence, the explanation of "convergent evolution" arose. Under the influence of genetic broadcasting, certain species would slowly evolve into "humans."
Even their DNA, genes, and chromosos would beco similar!
So, even if apes evolved intelligence, they would still be considered "humans" henceforth. Nothing to panic about...
Even if reproductive isolation occurs, it wouldn’t matter much, because humans and creatures can usually understand each other at a cultural and logical level. There’s an essential logical difference between humans and monsters.
"However, why did this extrely powerful ancient civilization beco extinct?" Miss Chen felt a chill in her hands and feet and a slight sweat on her forehead due to these strange speculations.
"This involves ancient history, and nobody knows the final answer," Number 12 spoke, "In fact, our world’s humanity is not the first generation—there might have been one or two previous civilizations that t with extinction."
"So city ruins are subrged under the sea, so underwater archaeology is quite popular... Underwater archaeology is very challenging, isn’t it? Compared to the harsh deep-sea environnt, human technology lags behind sowhat."
"However, we shouldn’t borrow trouble; humanity has not gone extinct after all these years, and I believe we will continue to survive in the future."
"What’s most important now is to develop our own strength."
"The more you know, the more it necessitates strength that matches your knowledge..."
Just then, the communicator on his belt vibrated once more. Lu stopped speaking, glanced at it casually, and his expression slightly changed.
"There’s an ergency eting to be convened. You should head back first, experience the customs of that world. And by the way... try to record how exactly ’The Ga’ operates..."
"This might be the first ti in history we’ve observed a frontal contest at the Demon God Level!"
...
Lu Tianming arrived in the large conference room where hundreds of people were whispering and discussing sothing, while others were attending the eting via holographic images.
Without needing to look, he knew this was an international-level eting that was bound to drone on for hours.
He found his seat, yawned, and narrowed his eyes.
International etings are terribly dull, often consud by bizarre and prolonged debates.
Especially since the Black-clothed Guard has beco sowhat prosperous lately... oily fingers prosperous!
When you’re in demand, disputes beco even more frequent and bizarre.
He even heard that the Western world is unimaginably envious of the Qingtian Hospital and also wants to freeload on "God’s" power.
They’re trying to use "God’s" ability to obtain so "source."
Regarding this idea, he couldn’t be more supportive!
...
Before long, everyone had arrived at the venue.
The eting space, provided by "The Ga," was incomparable in terms of confidentiality, security, and lavishness of equipnt than any location on Earth. In front of each seat was a holographic imaging device.
So well-inford individuals were already frowning, such as workers from the Black-clothed Guard arguing with experts from the Mysterious Bureau.
This left Lu feeling disinterested and sleepy, knowing without thinking that they were arguing over funding issues.
"Ladies and gentlen, the reason this ergency eting was called is that... just recently, an intense anomaly has been observed on our world’s Moon," said a spokesperson for the Mysterious Bureau, projecting several images on the big screen.
These images were quickly distributed to everyone’s receiving devices.
"A magnitude-12 lunar earthquake has occurred on the surface of the Moon, creating vast fissures like those in an eggshell... The cause is not yet clear!"
"Everyone should understand that the core of the Moon has already cooled. Theoretically, it should not experience such large-scale seismic activity. Yet now, it has."
These few photos imdiately captured everyone’s attention!
Because of the dust raised by the earthquake, covering the sky and showing no signs of settling, the photographs taken by the lunar rovers revealed crevasses, so of which were several kiloters wide and unfathomably deep.
Lu Tianming suddenly beca alert, involuntarily scratching the back of his head, "These photos... they’re a bit strange."
It was as if he could see an abyssal space, boundless, dark, and silent, hidden in the depths of the fissures. Everything around it seed to be engulfed in an unsettling atmosphere.
It was as if a pair of eerie eyes was lurking in the darkness, maliciously sizing up Earth.
Then, a buzzing sound of discussion arose in the conference room.
What was the concept of a magnitude-12 earthquake? It was the highest level of earthquake defined by humans!
Under normal circumstances, less than magnitude 1 is considered a microseism, less than 3 a minor quake, less than 4.5 a light quake, less than 6 a moderate earthquake, less than 7 a strong earthquake, less than 8 a major earthquake, and anything above 8 a great earthquake.
With each increase in magnitude, the energy approximately increases by 32 tis!
If this earthquake had occurred on Earth, it would be equivalent to 1000 asteroids, each 100 kiloters in diater, striking Earth at a speed of 25 kiloters per second, all at the sa ti. Even with forewarning and precautions, having one percent of the population survive would be a massive success!
Lu Tianming swallowed hard and gave a wry smile, then turned to look at Professor Jin, number 24.
He was sowhat annoyed in his heart. Events capable of exterminating the entire human race had been happening one after another recently, with no end in sight.
Working overti every day, without a single day off, what was this all about?
And this event was related to the Moon—could it be that damned "Delusion" projecting its power again?
The Moon in the Parallel Worlds was the true form of "Delusion"!
Not just Lu Tianming, but many intelligent people also ca to this possibility and were extrely anxious.
"What exactly happened to the Moon, is it impossible to investigate clearly?" inquired number 24, "Just these few photos don’t explain anything."
Soon, an international astronor spoke up: "We do have so lunar rovers on the Moon... but how should I put this, the mobility of these rovers is very slow, they can barely move a kiloter a day, and it’s out of the question to venture deeply into the fissures. Now with the dust covering the sky and blocking the Sun, these vehicles will soon run out of power."
"What about ’The Ga’? It can’t be that it has no reaction to this, can it?"
"For the mont... we do not know."
"Has that ’Head’ drilled through the core of the Earth yet?"
"Not yet. It’s still there, calling out the Black-clothed Guard by na, urging them to hurry up."
After an hour of discussion, the Prophets and Astrologers on Earth ca with so not-so-pleasant news.
They generally believed that a powerful presence was brewing above the Moon.
This powerful existence might appear for the first ti in history. Therefore, they could not determine whether it bore goodwill or malice.
It was even possible, not to exclude the chance, that it might be "Delusion"!
This made all the human leaders a bit nervous.
Even the eldest, who had seen countless severe trials, the Pope, was also silent, his complexion... not looking so good.
If "Delusion" were really to co over to this side, would Earth not beco a den of devils?
After a long while, he turned to Divination Master Jenny sitting beside him and said, "Jenny, divination isn’t omnipotent... You couldn’t foresee the sudden appearance of an entity in the sky, could you?"
Jenny replied irritably, "And you’re mocking at a ti like this, aren’t you considering making preparations for the Demon God War?"
If "Delusion" truly appeared here in its original form, transforming Earth into an alien den, humans were not without the power to resist... after all, the waters in this world ran deep. Neither "The Ga" nor "God" would likely stand by and watch humanity be extinguished.
"Don’t rush, we need to clarify the cause first. A Demon God War... would result in the deaths of very many people," the Pope said indifferently.
