Through various unspeakable means, you quickly adapted to the environment of Huangxing, settling down to a peaceful and slow-paced life, and gradually rediscovering your humanity.
[You've discovered something interesting about this planet: although it's a futuristic, technologically advanced world, it's not as heavily monitored as you might imagine. There's surveillance everywhere, and you need high-tech facial recognition or an ID badge to enter any area.]
[Another point that concerns you the most is—]
"It's starting again."
There is a great deal of freedom and openness between people.
"What did I just say?"
[Or rather, the residents here include conservatives and liberals, also known as traditionalists and new-age individuals.]
Conservatives are one-on-one, the kind of relationship that lasts forever.
The latter is because the planet is about to be destroyed, and the end of the world is approaching, so they let go of themselves, no longer cling to the past, and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
[You basically only date people who are open-minded, you don't have to take responsibility, it's all consensual.]
However, there is a third type: those who don't play with emotions or seek fleeting pleasure, but are simply together for genetic compatibility and breeding.
[Based on system allocation, the two individuals with the highest genetic compatibility and the greatest chance of producing a genius will be paired up. Their children will receive additional subsidies.]
[Those who don't want a natural birth can have their cells transferred to a machine, and then pick up their baby ten months later.]
[The machines even have a better environment, making it easier to perform drug modifications in the larval stage, while optimization during artificial reproduction is actually more expensive.]
"In fact, marriage is no longer necessary. Just provide a child or a childbearing child and let the machine automatically allocate them for you. Then you can go and collect the child when the time comes."
"You can also choose not to take the child and simply donate the money."
With changes in the reproductive environment, that kind of thing has become purely for pleasure.
"It suits me perfectly too."
You've infiltrated various clubs.
[In just one month, you've become a household name, your legend echoes in every club—an incredibly skilled and powerful man!]
[Capable of taking on ten, or even a hundred, opponents single-handedly!]
Your actions were absolutely brilliant, your experience incredibly rich, and your composure, calmness, and strategic brilliance truly showcased your mastery!
[You've experienced similar battlefields a thousand times!]
"More than that."
You alone can make a club a success!
Later on, club owners will even spend huge sums of credits to invite you to join them.
"Brother Yun, I'm planning a super party for 88 people, but we're missing someone of enough caliber to keep things in order. What do you think..."
"Old Yun, guess which man can participate in this wonderful part? You!"
"Brother Yun, we've prepared a super big gathering this time, with an estimated 300 people attending. They're all coming because of your reputation!"
"You're amazing!"
Occasionally, there are dissenting voices.
Why didn't he bring a medicine? Are we supposed to buy the medicine ourselves afterwards?
"Don't worry, sis. I heard this hunk Yun had infertility surgery before, so it's impossible for him to die."
"But that would be too ordinary. Don't you know that some... have all sorts of sharp spikes and threads on the outside?"
"I told you not to worry, he's undergone some muscle modification and training, he can change shape at will!"
"Is that so? He'd rather not leave behind any offspring, rather have his body turned into that kind of thing, just to make us happy? Hajiyun, he really is a man with a spirit of sacrifice..."
Five years later, a secret ballot was held for all citizens of Huangxing. The leaders of the civilization slowly explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two plans, leaving the future of humanity to be decided by the majority.
People around you are talking about it.
"I think the 'Rooted in the Land' plan is more reliable. They'll create a giant, sticky, elastic bubble that will envelop the entire planet Huangxing. There's a 97.4% chance it will withstand the first impact, and then we'll at least be able to live peacefully until we die of old age."
"But once the universe's contraction accelerates to a certain point, we ultimately won't be able to withstand it, and it will be difficult to collect more materials for further development. However, if we use the escape plan to reach another planet, we will have ample time to continue advancing technology and propelling civilization forward!"
"The first path is to slowly face death, perhaps annihilating us completely in tens of thousands of years; the second path is to gamble, making our future more hopeful, and even, if we escape far enough and have enough time to create a technological explosion, we might be able to break through the universe, escape this cataclysmic event, and make our civilization immortal!"
[You're just watching the show because you're an unregistered resident outside of this Yellow Star civilization. According to Yellow Star's population records, you've never even existed, so naturally you have no chance to vote.]
Ultimately, you saw that 93% of the votes went to those who chose to settle down and take root in the local area.
Then, online, Huang Xing's high-ranking officials sighed and clicked a button.
[As a result, the number of voters for "Spatial Breakthrough" surged until it just surpassed "Settling Down," reaching 51% of the entire civilization's population.]
"Conforms to stereotypes."
"As expected, there are still more people who want to survive." A senior executive sighed deeply.
"Who told us to tell the truth? The success rate of a spatial breakthrough is less than 7%. Gambling 7% on the future is nowhere near as safe as 97% absolute security."
"Our civilization shouldn't end in just tens of thousands of years. We should take another gamble and pursue the future!"
You clapped a few times.
As they turned around in alarm, only to find no one there, countless messages flooded the information tower network.
The intelligent system also issued a loud announcement.
The stars in the sky have changed.
They were no longer on the edge of the cosmic membrane, but had arrived in a completely new starry sky, a brand new world!
After you moved them billions of light-years away, you quietly left this yellow planet.
[Huang Xingzhong, although you had a lot of fun, the overall environment there was somewhat oppressive. To combat the impending despair, brainwashing messages were played repeatedly everywhere. The atmosphere was too strong, and you really had a hard time adjusting to the six months you spent there.]
[This is a good opportunity to leave, and also to learn about the current state of this universe from other parts of the universe.]
Why is it suddenly shrinking and being destroyed?
