"How can I believe you can really save the world? I haven't even seen you," Liu Peiqiang asked.
"In the universe, there are countless powerful beings, as well as countless powerful races and civilizations." The voice in Liu Peiqiang's mind didn't directly answer his question, but instead began to describe the universe: "These powerful beings, powerful races, and powerful civilizations are also ranked in the universe. Your Earth's technology is at the fourth level of technological civilization. Moreover, its development is uneven. Your space technology and weapons technology can be said to be at the top of the fourth level of technology, but there are some areas where you are still at the first level or not even at that level. For example, environmental restoration technology, plant cultivation technology, biological modification technology, and self-enhancement technology are only at the first or second level, or even not at that level. Especially in biological evolution, you rely too much on technology, which makes you weaker and even more vulnerable."
After a pause to allow Liu Peiqiang a moment to process the information, he continued, "Next, let's talk about the powerful races and individuals in the universe. Their technology may lag behind other planets of similar technological level, but their individual combat prowess far surpasses that of other species. For example, there are the magic, superpowers, and immortal arts you humans imagine, as well as the bio-engineered warriors from experiments. Among these powerful individuals, some can even survive alone in the universe, capable of conquering a planet, a star system, or even a galaxy on their own. These powerful individuals capable of conquering planets are categorized as Star-Destroyer, Stellar-level, and Galaxy-level. Powerful Star-Destroyer warriors can even directly destroy a planet. I am a Stellar-level powerhouse. Whether it's destroying Jupiter, moving your planet, or providing you with a more suitable environment, I can do it all."
"Then how can you prove that you are the stellar-level powerhouse you claim to be? I haven't seen you at all. How can you be sure?" Liu Peiqiang asked, though he was already mostly convinced. He figured the other party wouldn't joke with him like this at this point. Even if it was a joke, he had to try, because they were already desperate.
"Okay, but before that, you'd better contact your real decision-makers first. Otherwise, it could cause panic or misunderstandings, which would be bad. Also, your time is running out. The closer Earth gets to Jupiter, the more severely Jupiter will damage Earth's structure, and the more deaths will occur." The voice echoed in Liu Peiqiang's mind, then fell silent. No matter how Liu Peiqiang called out, there was no response. Desperate, clinging to his last hope, Liu Peiqiang contacted the United Government and recounted the events to its high-ranking officials.
"Only by living can there be hope. The current situation is already the worst; could it be worse than the destruction of the Earth?" Finally, during the discussions within the United Government, Liu Peiqiang's words and a rhetorical question solidified the final decision of the government's leadership. Indeed, could things get any worse? Only by living can there be hope.

On Earth, while Wang Han and Liu Peiqiang were talking, broadcasts from the space station rang out on everyone's communicators. Wang Han had deliberately chosen this moment to speak with Liu Peiqiang.
"This is the Navigator Space Station. We are now broadcasting our final message to the world. In the past thirty-six hours, humanity has experienced the greatest survival crisis in history. Thanks to the efforts of 1.5 million rescue workers around the world, 71% of the propulsion engines and 100% of the steering engines have been restarted at full power. Unfortunately, Jupiter's gravity is now greater than the total output of all the engines. Earth has missed its best chance to escape. For the continuation of human civilization, Moss will launch the Human Seed Project."
Upon hearing the news, both those desperately rescuing people on the ground and those living in the underground city were filled with despair. Death loomed over everyone's hearts. All their efforts were still unable to reverse the outcome of Earth colliding with Jupiter; everyone on Earth was going to die.
Wang Han glanced at Liu Qi and the others, then turned and walked alone into the supply station. The rescue team would likely propose igniting Jupiter, but Wang Han didn't intend to give them the opportunity to carry it out, as the atmosphere of despair among all humanity had already met his expectations.
Watching Wang Han walk into the supply station looking dejected, the others opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing, simply watching him disappear.

On the space station.
"How's your contact going?" The unfamiliar voice echoed in Liu Peiqiang's mind again.
“The united government has unanimously agreed,” Liu Peiqiang replied. “Now you can prove yourself and begin saving the planet, right? How do you need our cooperation?”
"Sure, it's just a planet. We don't need any help or cooperation from you. Just keep an eye on it. All you need to do is figure out how to explain it to the people on your planet." The unfamiliar voice replied.
"Warning! A huge object is approaching the space station! Warning! A huge life form is approaching the space station!" The unfamiliar voice had just disappeared from Liu Peiqiang's mind when Moss issued an urgent alarm.
Upon hearing the alarm, Liu Peiqiang was first startled, then overjoyed. He quickly ran to the observation window and looked out, while simultaneously commanding the intelligent system Moss, "Moss, shut down all defense systems."
He knew that the approaching giant life form was the voice communicating with him in his mind.
"All defense systems are shut down," Moss replied. It had no choice but to shut them down, because the target was simply too large. Its defense systems were completely incapable of eliminating the target, or even causing any real damage.
"So big..." Liu Peiqiang stared wide-eyed out the observation window, unable to believe his eyes as he looked at the enormous figure in the universe outside—a figure that resembled a warship, no, a planet. "Is that really a living being? Is that really a human?"
In the void of space outside the space station, a colossal and terrifying figure was flying towards Earth. The figure was covered in heavy black armor, resembling a massive humanoid spaceship. This figure was even larger than Earth itself; the Earth was estimated to be only waist-high to it.
"It's actually true..." On Earth, the United Government, through images transmitted from the observatory, watched in stunned silence as the terrifyingly enormous figure flew towards Earth. Its height was more than twice the diameter of the Earth.
"What is that?" Not only the United Government and the space station, but even the rescue workers on Earth's surface were stunned. The enormous figure was clearly visible to the naked eye.
