The next day, Endymion's opening ceremony was held as scheduled.

But then again…

"For your ridiculous wish, you actually built a space elevator in such a hellish place... I can only say that you are rich and willful."

Standing in front of Endymion's French window, looking at the Earth outside, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Hearing Fang Zheng's sigh, Letilie smiled softly.

"In fact, I didn't expect that science could achieve this. You know, in the original legend, the gods changed mankind because they couldn't stand the Tower of Babel."

"If the evolution of lower civilizations is prevented simply out of fear, then that so-called God is nothing great."

Fang Zheng snorted. He had the same idea before, but after entering the universe, Fang Zheng understood how advanced civilizations think. For any advanced civilization, the evolution of lower civilizations is worth observing and celebrating. However, advanced civilizations will not interfere with the progress of lower civilizations, unless their actions may affect the stability of the entire universe - but to be honest, those who can do this are no longer considered low civilizations.

Simply put, it's like humans seeing cats and dogs suddenly able to understand words and communicate at the lowest level. But humans won't exterminate cats and dogs directly because of this. If humans really want to feel threatened by cats and dogs, it will at least happen when these cats and dogs can form their own countries, have their own civilization and weapons, and have technology that is enough to threaten humans.

But the reason why this idea arises is that human civilization is not advanced enough.

Just like the humans and the Na'vi in ​​the movie "Avatar", the technological level of humans is higher than that of the Na'vi, but the overall level of civilization is not as great as the gap between high and low civilizations. The two sides are more like the difference between the upper and lower levels of civilization, rather than the real high and low civilizations.

If we really want to say it, it is more like humans and ants. Ants also have their own civilization, their own nests, their own language, and their own division of labor. But humans will not make a big fuss about ants because what ants need is insignificant and not worth mentioning in the eyes of humans.

This is the real difference between advanced civilization and inferior civilization.

If it were a truly advanced civilization, they would not be interested in the resources on Pandora. For example, the Pioneers in Halo and the Reapers in the Mass Effect world have already begun to use the stars themselves as energy. Who would care about the pumice on the tiny planet Pandora?

Would humans fight to the death with ants over a grain of rice?

"…So, if the path of human evolution is blocked simply because humans are trying to build the Tower of Babel, then it can only mean that the so-called god is not a supreme being. At best, he is only slightly more powerful than humans."

“That’s an interesting statement.”

Letilie looked at Fang Zheng.

"Just a little bit stronger than humans... Is this what the true gods think? You know, we weak humans would risk everything just to get closer to the gods."

"If you are willing to do this at all costs, it means that you have not yet reached the point where you can become a god. For example, I... Never mind. There is nothing to say about this."

Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"The evolution of civilization itself is a process of accumulation. If you want to reach the sky in one step, you must be prepared to be smashed to pieces. If you want to become a god, you can continue to wait for five thousand years or ten thousand years. If the human beings in this world have not perished, then by that time their level of civilization should have reached the height of the 'god' you envision."

"Really... this is a very attractive proposal, but I have already made up my mind."

Letilie narrowed her eyes.

"All I want now is death... Actually... cough cough..."

As she spoke, Letilly coughed a few times and then sat back in her chair weakly.

"This feeling... is really good. I can feel my life slowly slipping away... is this death?"

"I really want to record your current appearance and show that green-haired guy how a person who is determined to die should behave."

Fang Zheng glanced at Letilly, who raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Death... is really scary... but for me, this is what I have always longed for..."

"This feeling, the strength in my body gradually disappears, as if I am slowly walking towards death, waiting for me is only emptiness... This is death... Haha... No wonder, no wonder everyone is so afraid of it..."

“……!!!”

At this moment, cheers and applause came from the monitor. Looking at the picture in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems the opening ceremony has been successfully concluded."

"Really..."

Letilie closed her eyes.

"Well, let's get started. After all these years... I've finally waited for this day..."

Fang Zheng nodded and opened his personal terminal.

"Kuang San, bring them here."

"Got it, Mr. Fang Zheng."

Not long after, the door opened again, and then Kuang San walked in with two people.

One of them was Naruto Arisa, who had changed out of her performance costume and put on her daily clothes. The second one was a girl with black waist-length hair, wearing a black tights similar to an EVA pilot suit, and she looked serious and nervous.

"Shatora Sekiwenzi? That's your name, right?"

"Yes."

The black-haired girl nodded.

"I am Shatora Seikwenz, the captain of the Black Crows. What can I do for you two?"

"Well, it's an important matter for both of you."

Fang Zheng made a gesture, and then Kuang San smiled slightly, walked out and closed the door.

"Shatora Sekhwenzi, your father was the captain of the Orion space shuttle that crashed three years ago. On that day, the Orion encountered an accident, but all 88 people, including passengers and crew members, survived. It was called the miracle of 88 people, but that is not the case."

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at Shatora.

"There was another person who died, that was your father, right?"

"What on earth do you want to say?"

At this moment, Shatora frowned and looked at Fang Zheng unhappily, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't be impatient. Listen to me first. You have to know why the media did not foresee your father's death, but reported that all 88 people survived. Because according to the list they had, there were a total of 88 people on the Orion space shuttle at that time. Since 88 people survived, then naturally everyone survived. But no one expected that, in fact, when the Orion made an emergency landing, there was already one more person on the plane with 88 people on board."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Minghu Alisa.

"Why?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Shatora and Minghu Alisa were both stunned.

"Me, me?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"Didn't you say that you lost your memories from three years ago? In fact, you don't have any memories from three years ago at all, because you were born three years ago."

"But... this..."

Minghu Alisa was stunned.

"How could I be born only three years ago? I am already seventeen years old. And, Mr. Fang Zheng, what you said is like..."

"You are not human."

Fang Zheng silently interrupted Ming Hu Alisa's words.

"Remember when you were attacked by a magician? Your physique is the reason. You are not human, and the one who gave birth to you is her."

Having said that, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand again and pointed at Shatora.

At this moment, both of them were stunned.

"S-Stop joking!"

This time Shatora cried out.

"How can I give birth to a child?"

"Really?"

"Of course! I was only fourteen at that time!"

"So, what were you thinking when the accident happened in Orion?"

"Why?"

Fang Zheng stared at Shatora.

"At that time, you prayed in your heart, right? Do you still remember what you were thinking at that time?"

"I……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Shatora was stunned. However, the moment she looked into Fang Zheng's eyes, her whole body trembled.

The next moment, she seemed to be back on the plane.

The shaking cabin, the flames clearly visible outside the window, and the people's cries.

And the small figure sitting in the seat with his hands clasped.

"Please, I don't mind losing my most precious thing. Please grant everyone a miracle."

“……!”

Shatora opened her eyes wide in surprise.

At this time, she had remembered everything.

"Your wish has come true."

Fang Zheng stared at Shatora in front of him.

"You lost your father, and your sense of music made the miracle of eighty-eight people possible."

Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at Alyssa again.

"And she is the part you gave up for the miracle..."

“…”

"Yes, is it me...?"

At this moment, Shatora began to tremble.

"Did I...kill my father?"

"To be exact, the real murderer is this guy."

Fang Zheng patted Letilie's head.

"She tried to use Orion to cause an accident for her own purposes, but in the end her plan failed, and Naruto Arisa appeared because of her failed plan."

"It's you?!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sateora suddenly glared angrily at Letily who was sitting on the chair, while Letily sat there, looking at Sateora weakly.

"Yes, it was me. To be honest, that failure was beyond my expectations..."

"You bastard...it's you...it's you who killed my father...!!"

Looking at Letili, Sateora suddenly reached out and took out a military dagger from behind, then rushed towards Letili at a rapid speed and stabbed her heart!

However, at this moment...

"no!!"

Suddenly, Alyssa rushed over and hugged Shatora tightly from behind.

"Let me go! This woman, this woman is the murderer who killed my father! I want to avenge my father!"

"If your father were still alive, he would definitely not want you to kill someone for him!"

"But……"

“Alyssa is right.”

Fang Zheng finally interrupted at this time, and then he glared at Letilie.

"You are really evil-minded."

"Huh? I thought being able to get her revenge was a good thing."

"Stop talking nonsense. You want to drag others down with you before you die. With your character... Never mind. I am too lazy to say anything."

"Why?"

After hearing the conversation between Fang Zheng and Letili, Shatora and Alyssa were stunned, while Fang Zheng looked at the two of them.

"As you can see, Letili is about to die. She only has today to live, so whether you do anything or not, Sateora, she's dead... Just consider this retribution."

"What?!"

Hearing this, the two were shocked. They looked carefully and found that Leti's face was pale without a trace of blood. She looked like she was terminally ill and was about to die.

"In this way... my mission is also completed..."

Letilie's breathing became weaker and weaker.

"I can finally face... the death I longed for..."

Finally, she closed her eyes.

"Okay, this matter can come to an end now."

Fang Zheng glanced at Letili, who was completely dead, and then walked to the door.

"Next, I think you should have something to say, so I won't disturb you."

After saying this, Fang Zheng waved his hand and walked out, leaving only Shatora and Alyssa. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Finally, Alyssa reached out her hand.

"I remember... at that time, I appeared in Orion..."

"I remember it now... At that time, I saw you appear in Orion..."

As Shatora spoke, she held Alyssa's hand.

Then, a pure white light emerged from the two of them, covering the entire space.

Fang Zheng leaned against the wall, looking at the earth outside the window.

"Kuang San..."

"Hmm? What's up, Mr. Founder?"

"I suddenly feel that sometimes it's better to smoke a cigarette. You see, at times like this, I should quietly take out a cigarette from my pocket, light it, and then put it in my mouth to pretend to be deep... Don't you think this is very manly?"

"Mr. Fang Zheng is very manly, and smoking is harmful to health."

"Indeed, secondhand smoke is not good for the health of little girls."

At this moment, the door opened again, and then Sateora walked out, and behind her was Minghu Alisa.

"Um...Mr. Fang Zheng, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome. I'm your producer after all."

Fang Zheng glanced around the room, only to see that the blonde girl had disappeared from the spot where Letili had been lying.

In other words, Letilly's body has now been transformed into Naruto Arisa's body.

"How does your new body feel?"

"It feels... like it's about the same as before..."

Alyssa stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

"There are still some differences. At least your body is immortal. You can live for another thousand years without any problem."

"Eh? A thousand years?"

Hearing this, Alyssa’s eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right. Letili lived for more than 800 years. She wanted to die because she had lived enough. It's just that she didn't meet me before. If you have similar ideas in the future, you can come to me."

“Ah…Ahahahaha…”

Facing Fang Zheng's words, Alyssa smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, and Fang Zheng also waved his hand.

"Well, you've been busy all day and you're tired. Go and rest. Anyway, the opening ceremony of Endymion was a complete success and you became an instant hit. Get ready to be a big star."

In this way, Endymion's troubles were completely solved.

After sending Shatora and Alyssa away, Fang Zheng went to meet the others.

"Yo, how was the concert?"

Looking at Shirai Kuroko and the others in front of him, Fang Zheng also greeted them with a smile, and hearing his question, Saten Ruiko nodded excitedly.

"That's great! Alyssa's songs are really beautiful. I've decided that I want to be Alyssa's number one fan!"

"Saten-san, you're exaggerating..."

"That's not the case..."

Um?

Looking at the noisy girl in front of him, Fang Zheng was surprised for a moment, then looked at Heizi.

"Kuroko, where's Misaka Mikoto? Didn't she come to the ceremony?"

"Misaka-san?"

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Shirai Kuroko showed a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, why are you mentioning Misaka-san's name here? We don't even know her."

"……Um?"
