Jiang Chu woke up to find that the world had collapsed.
A doomsday crisis, a biochemical apocalypse.
When Jiang Chu saw an old man walking a bird confronting zombies with military brass...
“It’s unlikely, because I love life and I love living,” Jiang Chu said. “It’s a sad thing that the leader of the Celestials is killing humans.”
The other person lowered their head and fell into deep thought.
"The killing is because, in a fundamental sense, humans and celestial beings are only of the same lineage, but not of the same race."
Celestials are beings from a higher plane than humans, possessing long and endless lives, and never aging.
Because of their extremely high strength and control, many celestial beings can freely traverse three-dimensional and four-dimensional spaces, and even, like me, can travel to five-dimensional and six-dimensional spaces.
For us, there is no pressure to survive, and never will be.
Perhaps it is because our talents are too great that nature is too wary of us, and thus created humankind.
Humans and we were not originally from the same lineage, because their evolution was different from ours. We appeared in this world naturally.
Even when we already existed, humans were still picking fruit from trees.
We have witnessed firsthand how humans jumped down from the trees, gradually abandoned walking on all fours, learned to make fire by friction, and created civilization.
At that time, a large portion of us fell in love with humans, so many of us lived with them.
But whether it was a punishment from nature or not, many of the Celestials' talents disappeared after mating with humans.
We too will be born, grow old, get sick, and die... That's the most terrifying thing.
The reason why the Celestials are so powerful is because they possess the power of immortality, but once this power disappears, it means the extinction of their race.
Jiang Chu looked at the other person and said, "So, you are the only celestial being who has survived to this day."
The other person nodded deeply: "Want to know what happened to me?"
"I know without even thinking," Jiang Chu said calmly.
Tell me about it.
Jiang Chu poured the other person a cup of tea and said slowly, "You have experienced betrayal by a loved one."
"Yes, that happened 3,000 years ago. We were all celestial beings, deeply in love with each other, and even decided to preserve the last spark of celestial beings together."
However, she contracted a strange illness that prevented her from conceiving, and this became a source of unresolved conflict between us… Later, she left me and got together with a human, her strange illness miraculously disappeared, and she gave birth to a healthy human baby.
Hearing this, Jiang Chu couldn't help but sigh and said, "So from that day on, you changed. You completely hated humanity."
However, you discover that humans are a very intelligent and interesting species, so you change your mind and decide to torment them.
So, ultimately, 3000 years later, you chose to invade humanity with a bio-virus.
"Yes, killing each other is a very enjoyable thing." The other person smiled slightly.
"Your pleasure is humanity's tragedy."
The other person fell into deep thought.
"And the end result is that you shot yourself in the foot. Not only did you fail, but you also brought out the strongest potential of mankind."
Jiang Chu stared at the other person and said, word by word, "Humanity has finally evolved into a higher-level organism than the Celestials, just as you wished."
The other person shook his head slightly: "I admit that it was a mistake not to kill you, but I can't bring myself to do it."
Seeing you is like seeing the highest-ranking being of the celestial realm from back then.
From immature to mature, from weak to strong.
A celestial being who only possessed three-dimensional spatial cognition actually cultivated to the eighth dimension over tens of thousands of years.
But I don't understand why such a powerful man would choose to fall in love with a mere ant and give up all his cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chu involuntarily closed his eyes.
"You shut-in, you'll never understand love."
Let me tell you, the greatest talent that mankind has is actually only one, and that is... love.
I know you're thinking I'm pretentious.
But let me tell you, this word isn't pretentious.
If it weren't for that word, I wouldn't have become so strong.
Everything I do, everything humanity does, is for this word, to fulfill this word.
Although this word can sometimes be very extreme.
For example, a human being might only love themselves.
Upon hearing this, the leader shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Jiang Chu, are you human or a celestial being? How long have you actually lived?"
Jiang Chu said calmly, "Me? I am a human, but I come from another space. I am not from the Alliance Star. I was infected by some kind of consciousness four years ago and traveled to this planet."
The leader suddenly burst into laughter.
After experiencing the effects, he picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, he turned around and said to Jiang Chu, "Can you give me a chance to live?"
"able."
Jiang Chu's answer was very affirmative.
"But I've committed such heinous crimes. If you let me go, how will you explain yourself when you get back?" the leader asked.
"Leave behind your celestial body and soul, and then separate into a human form, to experience human life in a human way."
Jiang Chu gave the most correct answer.
At that moment, the other person suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down their face: "I lost, I really lost!"
