Chapter 329 Postscript: Hundred Year Plan
At dawn, the anomalies in the fierce battle suddenly collapsed like sand. They did not retreat voluntarily. The humans standing opposite could clearly see the deep resentment in the anomalies' roars and tremors.
"It's melted." Sun Yu muttered to himself, the sniper rifle in his hand still held steadily.
Class A's communication channel returned to normal and was reconnected to the church network by Guanghui.
No one mentioned that "letting Guanghui command independently is not very legal." After all, classmates can become masters on the spot, so don't worry too much about whether there are rules or not.
[Glorious: The operation went smoothly. Please proceed to the station and board the train for a quick return. Please be careful on your journey.]
"Hi~" After seeing the message sent by Guanghui, many people collapsed on the ground lazily.
"Are we on the surface or in the abyss now?" Liu Ping'an was too lazy to calculate based on the tools, so he simply poked Curry on the back and asked her to calculate it.
Curry clapped her hands, peered at the instrument for a long moment, and finally managed to utter, "Theoretically, the train has taken us to Depth 2, but we're all on the surface now."
"......Ah?" Liu Ping'an turned his head and made an expression that said "I don't understand."
She pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "We didn't take the elevator. If we were on the surface right now, then that massacre we just made in the abyss—was it a spiral upwards as we killed people?"
Qian Xiaomei collapsed to the ground and said weakly, "Maybe it's because... because of the change in the environment, we were pushed up along with the relics, the tracks, and so on?"
Everyone looked around in silence. They could indeed see a spectacular railway track nearby, and next to it grew a row of evergreen trees that were not even mentioned in the plant atlas.
Further away, you can see a pile of strange things scattered on the ground, such as furniture from the early technological era, machinery from the middle period, and a large number of weapons that look like scrap metal.
If you don’t know, you might think they stole the train overnight and took away all the goods.
"Hey, let's take a break before we go~" Hearing that they were on the surface, Liu Ping'an just gave up, turned over and lay on the ground.
Curry jabbed his fingers nervously: "But Guanghui asked us to go back quickly..."
The students next to them started arguing.
"That's right~ We're going to run into the new world soon, so there will definitely be a lot of things for us to do, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. For example, we need to redistribute gathering places, register survivors, arrange labor for plantations, and balance production and life while also regularly maintaining the relationship between the base and the Church of Light."
"Stop thinking, stop thinking. Can I be Xiao'er's security guard?"
"This kind of good thing definitely won't be your turn, let me do it——"
"Alright, alright, stop playing around." Qian Xiaomei patted her pants and stood up. "Are you guys done resting? If you are, get up quickly and find a ride."
"How to find it? Pray to Chen Xiaomie~ God of Love bless me, let me ah ah..." Liu Ping'an just started to act funny when Qian Xiaomei patted him on the back of the head.
"Pray! Just follow the tracks."
Qian Xiaomei took two steps forward and suddenly said with a hint of emotion, "Don't joke with Chen Xiao'er like this anymore. She should be a god by now."
"Eh? She'll be sad if you're so distant. Xiao'er won't mind one or two jokes~" Liu Ping'an followed Qian Xiaomei on crutches and wanted to argue. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard the sound of a whistle.
The early morning sun shines on the railroad tracks. An old brass steam train is coming from a distance. The gears of the mechanical structure make crisp clicking sounds during movement, and the embossed flowers on the surface are shining.
"Cool~" Someone whistled, and the students with bandages smiled at each other, supporting each other and walking towards the train.
.....
The long day night officially ended at 12 noon the next day.
What is surprising or expected is that the North Star, which once only appeared at night, is still shining brightly in the company of the sun.
Although this phenomenon only lasted for one day, everyone who looked up at the sky would have a similar thought - this star would probably never fall again.
Whether it is night or day, even in an illusion, it will shine in the same place to guide those who are lost.
Today is the first day that Chen Xiao'er fell into a deep sleep, and most people in this world don't know what exactly happened.
It would be several months before they learned from various channels that a young girl had successfully ascended to the throne of God in a human body. As for Chen Xiao'er's specific image, it would continue to change as the information spread.
Of course, the people of the Church of Light did not need to wait for second-hand news. They felt the power of God in the most intuitive way at the first moment.
The small block where the monitoring center is located has been moved to the upper right corner of the cube. If you expand your vision, you will find that the former Taoli College only occupies a maximum of one twentieth of this huge building complex.
This gigantic building complex, which is probably the main body of the Church of Light, was named "United University" by the Light. It was suspended in the shallow layer of the abyss in a very unscientific manner, with only the top exposed on the surface.
The observer took a look at the newly posted "Broadcast Station" sign outside the monitoring center and felt it was quite appropriate.
In the future, Guanghui will be able to control the Eye of God to have a bird's-eye view of the entire situation. Wouldn't this place become a place dedicated to broadcasting for humans?
“Don’t underestimate yourselves. Communication and exchange are very important functions.”
Guanghui's voice echoed directly in his mind.
His voice was no longer the gentle voice of a young girl, but a serious voice close to that of a principal, and the content of the speech was even more serious.
"I can take full responsibility for future monitoring tasks. To improve efficiency, please streamline the approval process."
"I will be the final approver of every mission, but please don't let your guard down. In order to quickly guide all of humanity to the New World and build the foundation for a new civilization, we all need to give it our all."
As Guanghui spoke, he sent forms to each executor's computer and brain. Perhaps He already had this ability, but now He finally didn't have to pretend anymore.
These elites and geniuses in various fields quickly understood Guanghui's intentions, and some of them had a hint of death on their faces.
Following this timetable, it really means giving everything for humanity.
Yes, Guanghui understands their thoughts very well.
However, in an emergency, He, who has seen many kinds of dedication, believes that these small goals can be achieved one by one after detailed breakdown, which is very reasonable.
Guanghui's serious tone rose slightly, carrying a motherly comfort.
"Don't worry. The current plan only involves personnel from within the Church's internal reserves. We can certainly recruit support from other organizations. Meanwhile, beings within the Sequence of Beings will be available online to provide consulting services at any time."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions improved a lot.
Someone else excitedly asked, "Chen Xiao'er has become a god. Can we ask her to transform the anomalies into humans so we can work together?"
Guanghui was silent for a few seconds, and then she resumed her girlish voice, this time the sound only ringing in her ears.
She said gently, "Please rest assured. Anomalies willing to cooperate have been dispatched in advance. They will go to various locations to improve the environment and carry out infrastructure work."
Tejas placed the new map side by side with the old one.
It can be seen intuitively from the two maps that the world has undergone tremendous changes after Chen Xiao'er became a god.
The danger level of all severe radiation areas in the world has been lowered.
The diameter of the safe zone suitable for human survival around the academy has expanded outward by about three times its original diameter, most of which is a gift from multiple power rituals.
Many new train stations are also marked on the map.
The train track already covers the entire United City and the surrounding areas of Changhe City. Its track is still being extended and does not require any human manpower or material resources to assist in laying it.
Guanghui drew several circles on the map. These were the spheres of influence that the church needed to prioritize controlling next, radiating outward from these points to the entire world.
"Okay, now please work hard with me."
[“Goal: To build a new world with no abnormalities on the surface within 200 years.”]
......
In the first year that Chen Xiao'er fell into deep sleep, many new species of animals and plants appeared on the surface.
However, most people are more concerned about the anthropomorphic anomalies and the precious relics that have overflowed from the shallow layer of the abyss.
In the early years, the Church of Light had minor disputes with many organizations in order to confiscate the relics of its ancestors.
However, these disputes were quickly resolved.
Under Guanghui's guidance, all organizations or individuals who picked up relics always handed them over quickly and took the initiative to join the vigorous production and transformation activities.
In the third year of Chen Xiao'er's slumber, abundant resources temporarily bridged most of the world's conflicts and integrated many mercenaries and wilderness wanderers who were originally scattered.
These new organizations are full of vitality and after the initial adjustment period, they all develop a strong interest in power.
Although no one dared to challenge the authority of the Glorious Church, living areas close to towns were emerging one by one.
In the fifth year of Chen Xiao'er's slumber, most of the chaotic sects that refused to surrender had been wiped out, but there were still a small number of sects roaming around with the support of false gods, destroying peace.
They seemed to be able to deceive the church's detection in some way and preach secretly in places that God's eyes rarely detected.
Although the doomsday theory that was once very useful is now difficult to promote, their theory of "passing away as soon as possible to grab a place of wealth and honor in the new world" can still deceive many believers and has a very bad negative impact on social order.
In the sixth year of Chen Xiao'er's deep sleep.
The Devouring Snake Cult has re-emerged, raising the banner of "True God" and vigorously attracting many "people with lofty ideals" who are dissatisfied with the order established by the Church of Light, as well as extremely dangerous saboteurs and remnants of the Chaos Cult.
In the twelfth year since Chen Xiao'er fell into a deep sleep.
The buildings that emerged from the shallows have been restarted, and the supporting factory facilities have all been put into intensive production.
Moderately polluted areas have been largely eliminated, and surface radiation levels are steadily decreasing each year. Simultaneously, the world's largest freshwater lake has emerged at the site of Changhe City, its narrow river channel connecting it to the United City.
In the twentieth year since Chen Xiao'er fell into a deep sleep.
The Church of Light established a relatively loose Eastern Hemisphere Peace Alliance, and the activities of the Devouring Serpent Cult went underground.
In the twenty-second year since Chen Xiao'er fell into a deep sleep, the Devouring Snake Cult was destroyed. Although the new generation of children had various new ideas, the idea of resisting order lost its soil for survival after the leaders died one by one.
Thirty years after Chen Xiao'er fell into deep sleep, two ladies in black dresses met at the cemetery holding bouquets of flowers.
Liu Ping'an was holding a bunch of white lilies. She turned sideways and looked at the familiar face with her pupils shrinking. In the end, she just smiled.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Zheng Lu held a colorful bouquet, looking more like she was attending a class reunion than visiting a grave. However, her dress was even more formal than Liu Ping'an's, and even her face was covered by a black veil, making it impossible to see any expression.
Zheng Lu's neck moved. Perhaps it was a nod, perhaps a shake of the head. After all, eight years wasn't a long time.
Liu Ping'an placed the lilies in front of Qian Xiaomei's tombstone, closed his eyes and bowed slightly.
She stood up and asked, "Does this count as a descended state? Could it be that the reason for the summons eight years ago, [to search for the incarnation of the God], was true?"
"Of course it's fake. As a participant, don't you know that? It's just fake bait that couldn't be more fake."
Zheng Lu scoffed at her conjecture, but for the sake of their old classmate, she still explained seriously, "The reason is simple. His Majesty the Newborn Serpent cannot be reborn before our Lord is truly born."
And...Chen Xiaotong would never be willing to let anyone else become Xiao'er's sister, even if it was just for her to borrow her body.
Liu Ping'an did not comment. She raised her hand to help Ye Xiaoyu, who was next to Qian Xiaomei, wipe the tombstone. The area around the tombstone was very clean, so she didn't need to bring tools to pull out the weeds.
"Xiaoyu...ah." She patted the tombstone, her eyes full of nostalgia and helplessness: Xiao'e's power back then was enough to allow her to live to old age. This power was equivalent to God personally helping her "cheat" the world.
But she insisted on conducting another large-scale sacrificial deduction just to make the glorious soul network plan more perfect.
"Her predictions were very meaningful. We've avoided a lot of detours, haven't we?" Zheng Lu's tone was calm. She walked half a circle around the cemetery and said in surprise, "Xing Shuyao isn't dead yet? He was in that state last time, but he still didn't die."
Liu Ping'an shook his head and smiled bitterly, "His ability to identify malice and trends is too useful, so his entire body except for the brain has been modified..." He could probably live another thirty years in a state worse than death, but he couldn't say the second half of the sentence.
They walked to the door in silence, and Liu Ping'an stopped Zheng Lu. "Hey, you... you must be feeling very uncomfortable in this state. Aren't you planning on passing away first? The Newborn Snake must have promised to accompany you in the afterlife."
Zheng Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, if I want, I can go into the darkness and wait for my master to wake up again at any time, but——"
She turned in the sunlight, facing the eternally shining North Star.
"My child, love is dedication, and faith requires trials."
The mother's previous teachings were forgotten by the girl's stunned smile. ["Eh? Faith?... Hmm~ I don't quite understand. Striving for a goal you love is a wonderful thing."]
Zheng Lu took off her veil, and the light of the stars was reflected in her eyes.
"I hope that the world she loves will bear traces of my efforts."
