Faced with the oppression of overlapping shadows, humans’ response is simple.
——Separation.
The Holy City will rise into the sky like a floating island, completely free from the restrictions of the "Old World".
The concept of civilization is limited to "planet". If people leave the planet in a spaceship, they are no longer restricted by civilization. If the Holy City leaves the scope of the earth and becomes an existence high in the starry sky, then is the Word Spirit of the Overlapping Shadow aimed at the Holy City in the sky or the ground of the planet?
…
In January, Yueyue stepped out of the vortex of time and space, took a deep breath, and calmed her decaying soul.
"Lord Game Angel, we hope to research a new medicine to cure the Black Mist Disease..." Her subordinate Bronte handed the tablet to her.
Yueyue cast her eyes. She could already understand the complex and profound research plan. The formulas and numbers were as clear as blank paper in her eyes: "Okay."
"I'll arrange it. It's estimated that the development time will not exceed nine months." Bronte said respectfully: "Please give our development plan a name."
Yueyue thought hard for a while and said:
"Since we are an ark that spans thousands of years..."
"So it's called...the Ark...Project?"
"Great! Ark Project!" Bronte said excitedly, "What a great name! Thank you for the name..."
…
In March, Chaoyan handled an extremely large trial involving a population of up to a thousand people.
The reason is simple - they don't want to leave their hometown.
If the ideal country were to be launched into space, the holy city would float under the starry sky all day long and would never be able to return to the ground.
"What's the difference between this and exile from the universe? I don't want this!" They were so emotional that they caused civil unrest:
"Why us? Why did you choose us?"
"My parents promised you to wander, but I didn't. Why should I wander among the stars from the moment I'm born? I don't agree!"
Intergenerational conflicts began to emerge - the generation of Tianshi 0 was already old and frail, and their sons and daughters gradually grew up and felt unfair. This is an inevitable iterative conflict - why should the children bear the responsibility for their parents?
——Why should the future generations be held responsible for the past generations?
——Why should [Alice] take responsibility for [Asagao]?
Questions like these are essentially the same question - why has their "destiny" been written long before they were born?
——Why should “God” decide their fate?
——Why are “Gods” so cruel and ruthless?
Among these discontented voices, a leader stood up - a 19-year-old youth. He had a young face and the vigor and vitality that only young people have. He shouldered the sorrow and unfair fate of many people and spoke to the gods on their behalf.
"——Why do the gods have the right to dominate our fate without any interference?" Standing on the judgment seat, the 19-year-old boy questioned the Old Temple in the distance: "God. I am a civilian from the 19th block of the Holy City. My name is Su Wenqing. Compared to you, I am just an insignificant person, but I must make my voice heard! If you hear what I say, come out! We do not accept the fate that has been planned!"
Chao Yan didn't expect that he would dare to question the Old Shrine from afar. She shook her head: "There are many things that we can't explain clearly. But the choice made by the Lord God is the best choice for civilization."
She couldn't explain the details of the Millennium Plan, she could only say that the gods were right.
"——Did the gods ordain this? Did the gods ordain our indifference?" The young hero argued confidently, tears streaming down his face, as he enumerated the gods' sins:
"The old lady on 17th Street in the Holy City died in her hospital bed because she participated in the so-called new life program. She didn't even wait for her son to come home before she died."
"My high school classmate wanted to be an artist, but because her ancestors had once lived in Dieying, she was forced to do the most ordinary jobs and almost committed suicide by jumping off a building due to depression."
"My uncle is a glorious time traveler. He also abides by his mission and repairs the timeline for the Lord God. But who would have thought that after he traveled back in time, because of the pollution he was contaminated with, he would be monitored for the rest of his life. He is not free to move and lives like a prisoner. Even if he wanted to be an astronomer after retiring, the planetarium was forced to close."
"——All this is because of the cruel god Su Ming'an. How can he determine the fate of each of us? How can he arrange our lives!?"
His question was powerful. His companions held their heads high, facing the spotlights around them, like a group of heroes declaring war on fate.
Chao Yan wanted to tell them to shut up, but the god slowly walked out of the old shrine.
The morning glow cast a shadow on the face of the god, revealing his exceptionally young appearance. He was wearing a simple white robe without overly complicated patterns, like a high school student who had just walked out of campus.
For a moment, the gods and Su Wenqing - they seemed to be standing in the overlapping light and shadow, and the years had gone around in circles, from the end to the beginning.
…
From the gods and Su Mingan.
To the gods and Su Wenqing.
…
Su Wenqing looked at the legendary god in shock. He had never imagined that the god looked so young. He seemed to be about the same age as him.
The god's eyes were gray, even more haggard than the young people on the trial stand. He stared at Su Wenqing solemnly: "What do you want to say?"
Su Wenqing glanced at his companions who were cheering for him, took a deep breath, and shouted in a speech-like manner: "——God. I know there is a beautiful bird living in the world. It spends its entire life searching for the forest in the steel."
