It's a new life (end of text)

The voting results came out quickly.

67.33 versus 32.67.

Many people walked out of their homes and onto the streets. There were countless large screens hanging on the tall buildings on the streets, but the same face was shown on all the screens.

It's Luo Tan's face.

She sat in the center of the studio, with no one behind her but an ordinary blue screen.

From the perspective of setting, this seems to be no different from the fixed news programs every day in the past, but in fact, it determines the future destiny of mankind.

Even those who were still at home stopped what they were doing at the same time and listened patiently to Luo Chen's words.

"According to the statistics, out of 100 people, about 67 people think that we should continue to fight to the end, and about 33 people think that we should temporarily surrender to the aliens in exchange for a chance of survival."

"From an emotional point of view, I admire the boundless courage of those 67 people. From a rational point of view, I also understand the choice made by those 33 people."

"According to the previous rule that the minority obeys the majority, I declare——"

Luo Tan raised his head.

She was supposed to only see the camera.

But from her eyes, the audience felt as if her gaze had pierced through the camera, pierced through the TV screens of millions of households, and reached the blue sky with a warning dialog box hanging on it.

She's talking directly to the aliens!

Everyone suddenly realized.

Luo Chen said loudly: "I am speaking here on behalf of all mankind - mankind will not surrender, mankind will not become your puppets, we will fight consistently until the end of time, until the depths of the universe, please, get out of our galaxy!"

The TV screen went out.

But the people on the street remained silent, seemingly savoring the experience quietly.

After a long time, continuous applause rang out from the streets and spread to thousands of homes.

…

After an unknown amount of time, the words in the dialogue box hanging in the sky changed.

Some people stopped to watch in astonishment, and then found that the 19 words had become two words:

"very good."

It feels like gnashing teeth.

Then it became——

"In two hours, the earth will explode. I hope you all can become the brightest firework in the universe."

…

In the first half hour after the explosion threat appeared, all scientists were constantly thinking about what would cause the earth to explode.

They thought from internal causes to external causes, and linked the earth's collapse due to uneven force to a planet colliding with the earth.

Soon, they fell into despair.

There are a myriad of possible reasons.

No one knows from what angle a higher being will crush an ant.

Do they have to wait until two hours later, at the moment of their death, to find out what exactly destroyed the earth?

…

When the countdown reached one and a half hours, astronomical observers were surprised to find that -

A strange-looking interstellar object is heading towards the earth at an extremely high speed!

Based on its speed, it is estimated that it will reach the Earth in exactly one and a half hours!

Scientists immediately began to observe and study the interstellar weapon, trying to analyze its composition and develop countermeasures.

.

While the scientists were scratching their heads and thinking hard, Luo Tan was looking through props in the system mall.

At this time, she noticed a prop called "lever".

Prop Description: Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the whole earth! This is a magical lever. You can use the lever principle to pry anything you want to pry! Come and try it! Of course, if you want to use it to replace the seesaw, that's also possible!

Luo Tan was overjoyed.

She said to Xiao Ai, "I want to redeem this!"

Xiao Ai: "After testing, host, you currently have 1500 points. The price of this item is 1200 points. Are you sure you want to redeem this item?"

Luo Tan hesitated for a moment, then looked through all the items in the mall, and was sure that none of them looked more reliable than the lever, so he simply said, "Deal, deal, deal!"

The next second, a huge lever appeared in Luo Tan's hand.

To be precise, only she can see the lever and use her mind to control it to pry things.

Since the aliens are launching interstellar weapons at the earth, as long as the interstellar weapons do not have their own tracking and positioning systems, she can use this lever to change the position of the earth and make the weapons inaccurate!

Even if we take a step back, the interstellar weapon has its own tracking and positioning system, which can firmly lock the position of the earth.

Narotan can also pry the Earth after each interstellar weapon corrects its position, so that it will always be in a state of crazy position correction, but will never be able to shoot accurately. This is just like walking the interstellar weapon like a monkey!

Luo Tan applauded his own idea until——

She asked Xiao Ai in confusion: "Is this prop of yours fake? The earth can't be moved at all!"

Xiao Ai: "Host, you are on Earth, so of course you can't pry it open. Have you ever seen someone pry himself open?"

Luo Tan said angrily: "Then you are just engaging in false marketing! You clearly said that you can move the earth!"

Xiao Ai: "Moving the earth is just a figure of speech called a metaphor! Besides, this is not fake marketing. As long as you stand outside the earth, you can still move it!"

Luo Chen: Does this make sense? If she dares to leave the earth now, she will probably be controlled by the aliens who are eyeing her covetously in the next second!

Luo Tan thought of another idea.

Since the earth cannot be pried open.

But this lever applies to all objects, so the interstellar weapons flying towards them can always be pried open, right?

She wanted it to go back to where it came from, like playing golf!

However, this time it failed again.

Luo Tan did not get angry but laughed: "I want to hear what excuses you have this time?"

Xiao Ai was about to cry: "Host, you know that the principle of leverage is based on physics, right? But for that interstellar weapon, physics no longer exists."

Luo Tan: “…”

.

On the other hand, scientists' research results are not very good.

They used all known means to analyze the movement path of interstellar weapons, and found that the path could not be changed within the existing technological framework.

Even the most explosive interceptor missiles cannot cause significant damage to interstellar weapons.

"What about the countermeasures?"

A young scholar raised his head and asked the respected expert.

The expert sighed and said, "What are you thinking? We are too far away from the alien planet. We can't send missiles to their homeland."

"Besides, counterattack..."

The experts' eyes were filled with despair: "Countermeasures are only discussed between equal subjects, how can unequal subjects talk about countermeasures? Humans can accidentally step on an ant to death, but what about ants? The only way they can express their dissatisfaction is to bite humans in their last struggle, and they will encounter hard soles."

The young scholar looked at his teacher unwillingly: "Then there is no other way?"

The expert's smile was pale under the light: "Wait for fate, wait for a miracle."

.

"Dad, do you think we will survive?"

"Dad doesn't know either, that's why we're standing here."

In the temples in the suburbs, there were many people who came to pray. They took the incense passed by the monks and nuns, lit it in front of the Buddha statue, knelt down, and made a wish that all mankind would overcome the difficulties.

Many more people were also praying and blessing at home, with their hands clasped together and tears streaming down their faces.

As ordinary people, facing the impending crisis for all humanity, the only thing they can do is to pray devoutly in their hearts.

Pray for God's blessing and pray for a miracle to happen.

.

Half an hour before the interstellar weapon hit the earth, Xu Cheng went from the police station to the mayor's residence, where members of the royal family were working.

Simba, the white-haired butler, was standing in front of Luo Chen's door. When he saw him coming, he nodded and said, "May mankind live forever."

Xu Cheng also repeated: "May mankind live forever."

This is a slogan widely sung among the people.

When the news began to spread inside the palace, it proved that even they were helpless.

Before knocking on the door, Xu Cheng said to Simba: "I'm going to tell her everything."

They both knew what he was going to say.

Simba was stunned for a moment at first, and then his response was to knock on the door for Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment: "I thought you would stop me."

Simba shook his head: "I understand how you feel."

Xu Cheng sighed lightly: "Before the final moment comes, I think she has the right to know the truth."

"Come in." Luo Tan's voice came from inside the room.

Simba blinked and said, "Go in and spend the last half hour with her."

…

When Xu Cheng spoke the so-called truth, Luo Chen's first reaction was, "Am I still dreaming?" His second reaction was, "Is Xu Cheng crazy?"

But Xu Cheng's next words completely shattered her fantasy: "Not only me, but everyone can hear it."

No wonder Andre was crazy and wanted to assassinate her. She had thought he had a special device that could detect the system in her brain.

No wonder Nicholas insisted on adopting her as his goddaughter. It seems he no longer wants to have sex with her!

No wonder the parachute company also wanted to assassinate her. What a joke! They had exposed their plans so many times, who else would they kill if not you?

She always thought that they wanted to assassinate Xu Cheng, and she was just a defensive move, but she didn't expect that she was the real target!

And in the more distant past, no wonder Xu Cheng, Li Juan, Hei Ge and others...

Luo Chen's murderous gaze roamed over Xu Cheng's face, and then he pointedly questioned: "You can't be doing this because of this..."

This is the key question! Xu Cheng quickly denied it: "No, no, of course I don't like you because of this! I really like you!"

Luo Tan felt like he was about to break.

She said in disbelief, "So you can hear every word I say?"

This is too social! She wants to leave this beautiful world right now!

Luo Tan, who claimed that he had three levels of psychology that were unknowable to outsiders, was really about to collapse!

Xu Cheng shook his head quickly: "No, no, we can only hear some of your inner voices, most of which are related to prediction. For example, we can't hear your current thoughts."

Luo Tan asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Xu Cheng nodded vigorously.

This time, Luo Tan tried to recite his mental activities silently, with strong emotional color.

Then, she met Xu Cheng's evasive eyes.

"Did you hear it this time?"

"Yes."

Luo Tan: “…”

She wanted to die.

She said sadly, "You can talk about it. If you know it, you know it. If you hear it, you hear it. Why do you still need to tell me? If you want to tell me, why don't you tell me earlier? It's glorious for you to tell me now and let me experience social death before the destruction of the □□, right?"

Xu Cheng lowered his head, quiet as a chicken, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, Luo Tan heard Xiao Ai's voice echoing in her mind: "Congratulations to the host for knowing the hidden skill, meeting the hidden conditions, and unlocking the upgraded skill: If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response."

What the hell?

Luo Tan vaguely sensed something was wrong, and she gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, so you also knew that my inner thoughts would leak out!"

Xiao Ai: "Well, if you bind yourself to the predictive system, you won't be able to speak your prophecies, so I gave you a buy-one-get-one-free bonus, which allows the host to have the skill to speak out his thoughts." Her voice became lower and lower as she went on.

No wonder this stupid system never pushes her to complete her tasks!

It turns out this was planned!

Luo Tan clicked into the system main panel and found that in addition to "foreknowledge", her skill list had an additional skill "revealing inner voice".

It seems that the truth has been exposed and there is no point in pretending!

She clicked on it and found that "If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response" is an advanced skill of "Revealing the Voice of the Heart".

She was about to quit when she noticed the skill description.

Skill Description: Technology and faith have always been a long-standing topic of debate for many years. Most people believe that technology usually determines the level of absolute strength, but do you believe that if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response? Try to say a word in your heart with the greatest sense of faith. When your voice is transmitted, the grass can hear it, the trees can hear it, the buildings can hear it, and all the memories of mankind from ancient times to the present can hear it... When the beliefs of all parties are gathered together to achieve a synergy, perhaps an unexpected miracle will happen!

Additional note: This skill can only be used once.

Luo Tan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Xiao Ai, is this skill description what I thought it meant?"

Xiao Ai's cheerful voice rang out: "Maybe this is what the host thinks it means, let's try it."

Luo Tan complained in his heart that it was the same as saying nothing.

If she hadn't just been cheated, she wouldn't have asked this question specifically.

But now, we can only try our best.

Luo Chen lit up the "Use Skill" button below the skill description.

Then she closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently said in her heart:

[I hope that all the power accumulated on this planet from ancient times to the present can help me turn the interstellar weapons flying towards the earth around and destroy the source of the launch - the alien star.]

Luo Tan put down his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

She saw that the skill status of "If you keep thinking about it, it will come true" changed to "Used."

She turned her head and saw Xu Cheng looking at her with shocked eyes.

"You just... that voice just now seemed different from the previous ones. It had a grand and deafening feeling."

Luo Tan: ...Oh, I almost forgot, even flowers, plants and trees can hear these sounds, humans can hear them even more.

.

There are only ten minutes left before an interstellar weapon hits Earth.

The people who were praying in a temple in the suburbs suddenly raised their heads. They had just heard an unusually majestic female voice, and in the next second, they vaguely felt that there seemed to be something different in the air.

The promises and prayers they had just made turned into concrete words shining with golden light, arranged neatly in dots, like a train carrying time crossing the space and flying up to the sky.

The branches and leaves of the century-old trees planted in the temple swayed in unison, making a rustling sound, as if they were responding.

…

Those who were praying silently with their hands folded at home heard a small explosion somewhere in their home.

When they found the source of the sound, they were surprised to find that it was not an explosion, but the cap of the bottle that stored the memories of deceased relatives had been inexplicably opened.

They tried to put it back on, but couldn't.

It was as if a force that had been accumulated for many years wanted to burst out.

…

In recent decades, human memory has been stored.

And all the time before that, mankind's memories and beliefs were blown into the wind, dissolved into the rain, and then fell to the earth with the rain, bringing dew, blending into every building, and buried under the deepest layer of soil.

But at this moment, they all appeared.

Luo Chen felt a gentle breeze blowing in from the window, and then an illusion appeared before her eyes.

No, maybe it’s not an illusion, but an epic of the earth and mankind——

The Earth collided with Theia and exploded, forming the primordial ocean, and the most primitive life was born from the depths of the ocean.

With the advent of the Cambrian period, life in the ocean exploded, a large number of invertebrates appeared, and the world entered an era of survival of the fittest.

Plants appeared, chelicerates appeared, fish appeared, and the era of vertebrates arrived.

Gamma-ray burst, the first mass extinction.

…

Vertebrates come to land from the ocean.

Asteroid impact, second mass extinction.

…

Triassic mass extinction.

…

Pterosaurs appeared, dinosaurs appeared, mammals appeared.

The end-Triassic mass extinction.

…

In the Jurassic period, dinosaurs reached their prime.

Cretaceous period, the first Chinese bird took flight.

Cretaceous mass extinction.

…

A new generation is coming.

Primates appeared, and birds, elephants, whales, rhinos, and sharks appeared and multiplied on the earth.

Australopithecus appears.

Homo habilis first tried to use stone tools.

Homo erectus appears.

Humans learned to use fire.

Homo sapiens emerges.

The birth of human civilization.

…

As humans entered the modern era, Luo Chen saw her era.

Humankind has entered the interstellar age and traveled into space.

…

From the moment life first appeared on Earth, all traces left by all life that has ever existed throughout the ages have turned into a powerful belief, spiraling into the sky.

At the moment when the interstellar weapons were about to hit the earth, the power composed of beliefs from different sources finally converged and formed a hard protective shield covering the earth.

The next second, the interstellar weapon turned around and flew towards its source!

.

"Are we saved?"

The experts and scholars in the laboratory watched the interstellar weapon gradually moving away from the Earth in the image, and roared in disbelief.

…

The lovers who were hugging each other tightly did not hear the explosion that should have happened long ago, and opened their eyes in surprise. The next moment, they began to kiss madly.

…

"But what if the aliens launch interstellar weapons at us again?"

The young scholar asked his teacher.

The white-haired expert stroked his beard and said, "I hope that by then, humans will be able to come up with new methods."

"Perhaps," he said with a long-lost smile, "that interstellar weapon can really blow up the alien planet as Your Majesty wishes?"

All scientists and researchers are closely watching the images in astronomical imaging, hoping that the long-awaited image will appear.

I don't know how long I waited -

"Teacher! It seems that interstellar weapons have really gone to another planet!"

"Oh no! It's turning!"

Under everyone's close attention, the interstellar weapon rotated in a subtle arc and deviated from the direction of the alien planet.

The expert said in frustration, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy. This interstellar weapon was launched by an alien star, so they can certainly change its direction. It's harder than climbing to the sky to prevent them from stealing the chicken and losing the rice."

At this moment——

Young Scholar: “Oh my god, what is that?”

The expert rubbed his presbyopic eyes and looked carefully, only to see a huge lever suddenly appear above the interstellar weapon.

Wait? Leverage?

The next second, one side of the huge lever was pressed down by an invisible force, and the other side was lifted up with astonishing force, just like hitting a golf ball, knocking the interstellar weapon away!

The next moment, the interstellar weapon hit the alien planet.

Like a tiny, sharp stone hitting an eggshell, the shock wave was released the moment it hit the planet, forming a rapidly expanding fireball that dyed the surrounding darkness a dazzling orange-red.

And this is just the beginning.

The planet's surface began to crack, and the atmosphere was torn apart, forming swirling clouds of gas. From the outside in, the gravity of the alien core could not resist this internal explosion, and the planet began to disintegrate.

Countless pieces of planetary fragments were ejected and entered the alien planet's orbit to form a ring. The next moment, the fragments began to burn violently.

The alien star no longer exists, replaced by a ring of hot material and tiny debris orbiting it.

…

The explosion of the universe is always silent.

The death of life is also silent.

But humans survived.

…

"Are we saved?"

Xu Cheng picked up Luo Tan and kissed his forehead excitedly, his eyes turned red.

When Xu Cheng's kiss came down, Luo Tan heard himself say "hmm".

Her gaze passed over Xu Cheng's shoulder, through the window, and swept across the crowds in the buildings on the streets who were cheering, singing and dancing because they had survived the disaster. However, she did not stop, but looked in the farther direction, towards the mountains, the ocean and the sky.

Life is a miracle, she thought.

Thinking of this, she took a step back and when Xu Cheng was about to say something, she stretched out a finger to stop him from saying anything, and then took the initiative and kissed him.

Seal with lips.
