Chapter 791: Chapter 790: White Silhouette
Chen Ke was silent. He didn’t have the right to decide the fate of 6 billion people, and currently, this space-ti had indeed beco an unsolvable deadlock. God knows what the foundation ant by “ti immigration”.
So many people scattered and sent to other spaces, and then what? To beco ‘undocunted residents’ in those tilines?
“We are not urging you to make a quick decision, but you know, Mr. Chen, you are a man beyond ti. We cannot return to a past ti point to handle your decision. So, every second of delay is a second wasted. If, eventually, a deity descends, this tiline will beco the cradle of the Clan, then infect other tilines,” Jenkins said.
Chen Ke understood his aning, but as part of the deal, Jenkins was willing to solve the problem of 2010, surely wanting sothing of equal value from Chen Ke in return.
It was just helping out a bit after all. The last ti Xu Jing ca, it was also because of this.
But Chen Ke was also clear about the foundation’s nature; their promises were all just word gas.
“Tell your terms. Ti immigration isn’t as simple as moving house. What do you want to do?” Chen Ke asked.
Jenkins finally revealed a smile, although it was barely noticeable, the old guy still smiled.
“We will help you solve the problem of this tiline, and you will help us solve ours,” Jenkins said.
Chen Ke had long expected this to be the case.
Ti Stranded!
In 2137, humanity was done. In the real world, human civilization stopped in that year, so in the dream world, it could only simulate up to that year.
When the ti of dream and reality overlapped, the world in the dream would be stranded in reality. The residents without the support of Divine’s Dream would lose all their power, and then be slaughtered by the divine might of the present.
The foundation in the dream world probably didn’t know what kind of calamity this ti was facing.
They always thought of themselves as the rulers at the end of ti, regarding the phenonon of ti stranding as just so kind of super abnormal event.
“Let’s be straightforward, Jenkins. I know 2137 was split into two. Your enemies share a building with you, two tilines cramd into the sa world,” Chen Ke said.
“You’re right. You’ve been to our building and t Rom, you should know our difficulties,” Jenkins agreed.
Rom’s role was to halt the flow of ti in 2137 and bear the ti debt alone. However, Rom wasn’t the only one who could be used by the foundation; the Divine Descent Sect also used its ability to hide in another version of 2137.
You can’t wage war in one tiline against another, nor can you force everyone to show themselves by killing Rom.
“People from the Divine Descent Sect said that the Antarctic was shrouded in a black mist. What is your version?” Chen Ke asked again.
“The Antarctic… it seems more serious than we imagined…” Jenkins looked at his companions, who hadn’t spoken from the beginning, so much so that Chen Ke almost ignored their presence.
“Serious… is there anything more serious than this?” Chen Ke asked.
“In our tiline, the Pacific Ocean has already disappeared. It’s also enveloped in black mist,” Jenkins admitted frankly.
Li Moyang looked at Chen Ke. He never understood what the two were talking about, it sounded like Earth suddenly lost two pieces, but just from the tone, it didn’t seem like a huge issue…
“The Antarctic plus the Pacific Ocean. It seems that even if your tilines are split, Earth still remains one,” Chen Ke pondered, pinching his chin.
Ti stranding doesn’t care about your ti tricks; dreams are just dreams after all.
“That’s precisely what we’re worried about. If left unchecked, our era will co to an end here,” Jenkins said.
“How long have you halted ti? Haven’t you found a solution?” Chen Ke probed.
The opposite were the foundation, even though he already knew the essence of this phenonon, he still hoped to hear if the foundation had any solutions.
“No, we can only observe, but we can’t influence it. It’s a… phenonon, a concept of reality invasion. We suspect… it’s the consequence of a divine descent event from a past era that wasn’t promptly handled. So we’re constantly sending people to other tilines, hoping to find the source,” Jenkins explained.
“You suspect this is the work of the Divine Descent Sect?” Chen Ke asked again.
“Yes, before the operation in 1859, we always thought we had completely eradicated the Divine Descent Sect,” Jenkins replied.
“What have you observed? And what makes you think I can help you resolve this…?” Chen Ke asked.
“Mr. Chen, you possess HCP0001, and you also killed Thor and took his hamr. The foundation only dispatches agents to negotiate with other tilines’ dignitaries, and the O5 council never negotiates with anyone. Except you,” Jenkins said.
“So? Do you think a gun or a hamr from can dispel that black mist? I don’t think so,” Chen Ke shook his head.
Ideas can fight other ideas, strength can combat other power, but you cannot contend with a phenonon.
Chen Ke actually had a solution for ti stranding in his hand, he just needed to sit here and snap his fingers. 999 universes would disappear with him, or keep humanity in this loop forever living in a dream.
But Chen Ke didn’t want to choose these two paths.
The prophecy on the black stele, and the six Holy Diamonds, gave him a new choice which he intended to seize.
“I know, so we want to talk to you about the results of our observations inside the black mist,” Jenkins said.
He looked to his right at his companion, who took a large envelope out of the inner pocket of a suit and handed it to Jenkins.
“This is what we have seen,” Jenkins bypassed the envelope and placed it on the coffee table.
Chen Ke looked at Jenkins and then picked up the large envelope and poured out a stack of 4A-sized black large negatives. He had never seen such large negatives before.
He picked up one and looked at it against the red light outside the window, only to see the image on the film was actually moving.
The image repeatedly played a 12-second segnt. It looked like an aerial shot, a massive swirling cloud mass rotating over the sea, with a white noise point at the center, sothing interfering with the shooting quality.
Another negative, the cloud mass was clearer, the shooting tool seed to have arrived inside the black mist, this ti the segnt was shorter, only 3 seconds.
The next few were very short too, and it was unclear what the images were, full of white noise points and black waves as though they were deep within the black mist.
“What did you use to capture these?” Chen Ke asked instinctively.
“We dispatched an agent to enter,” Jenkins said.
Chen Ke paused for a mont, presumably the agent was already dood.
He picked up the last negative, this ti, it seed a bit clearer, lasting 19 seconds. The first few seconds were still noise and darkness, but in the last 2 seconds, there was so change.
Chen Ke saw a white figure standing in the black mist, thanks to the quality of the negative, the person really was just a white silhouette.
The last 2 seconds showed only this, then it cut off.
Chen Ke put down the negative, roughly knowing what Jenkins wanted him to do.
“You want to go in and take out that white guy?” Chen Ke said.
Jenkins nodded.
The scene fell into silence.
