Variable Control
City Y·Grade 29 Class
It has been a while since the students have all been together in a classroom, ever since they found each other's busy careers.
The reason why everyone gathered here this time was because of the "earthquake" that occurred in the morning.
It has been exactly half a year since they traveled back to Earth, and the space where Parnaki and Earth are located finally made their first contact. Although the impact was only a magnitude 3 earthquake, both the 9th class and the official people knew very well that there would be more and more contacts in the future, and the impact on the Earth would be greater and greater.
The various disasters caused by the overlapping and distortion of space are the most intuitive manifestations of the "end of the world".
But looking at the hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution, it has never been just natural disasters that have destroyed civilization.
The real challenge lies in the moment when the two worlds face each other openly.
"I have a feeling that we don't have much time left." Bai Luo put away his usual joking appearance and showed a rare serious side: "Fate has suddenly accelerated its pace."
"Can you see the future results?" Rui Hang asked.
Bai Luo shook his head: "The destiny leading to the future is shrouded in fog. I can only see countless forks in the fog, but there is only one path leading to the right one."
"What if I take the wrong step?"
The golden thread entangled in Bai Luo's eyes: "Everything returns to nothingness, and fate restarts its reincarnation."
"...How long will it take for the two worlds to completely overlap?"
"If there is no intervention, there are still two months."
A brief silence spread in the classroom. After a moment, Sun Jingshu raised her hand and said calmly, "We have discussed various measures to balance the two worlds before. These are not things that can be accomplished by just twenty-five of us. It is a long-term plan that requires the efforts of countless people. I think there is only one thing we need to do now: restore our strength."
As the barrier collapsed, the concentration of magic power became stronger day by day, and the students' strength was also rapidly improving, but there was still a big gap from their peak combat power.
With their current strength, no one on Earth can stop them. But facing Parnaki, who has accumulated magic for ten thousand years, they can only reach the first-line combat level of Parnaki.
Their power determines whether they can suppress the anxiety and restlessness at the moment when the two worlds come into contact, thus adding a little breathing space for the two worlds.
What limits their strength now is not only the reserves of magic power, but also the limitations of blood and flesh. After all, human flesh and blood cannot compare with the body that has been tempered for five hundred years. Even if they stay on Earth, they will be able to reach the strength of the past one day. However, the urgent situation does not allow them to follow the original plan and make solid progress step by step.
Everyone knew what Sun Jingshu said, but what followed was a problem they could not avoid: if they wanted to return to their original bodies, they had to open the road to Parnaki with their own hands - the time that was paused in Parnaki would also resume flowing again.
Even though the earth has gradually adapted to the existence of magic thanks to their efforts, people still fear this unknown existence but have tried to accept it and use it.
Based on the knowledge about magic they brought, the combination of technology and magic also gave the Earth more powerful combat capabilities.
But even so, together with the three months that the "time traveler" continued, the total time of less than a year was really too short.
Is the Earth now really ready to face another world?
How should Parnaki, whose time has been suspended, face the other world that suddenly appears?
Invisible pressure fell on everyone, and the silence increased its weight, making them breathless.
"Vote." Rui Hang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This is something we will have to face sooner or later. There is no point in running away - but no matter what you choose, we will bear the final result together."
"In that case, let me go first." Su Mingya stood up: "As the class monitor, I can only take the lead at this time."
She sighed, her brows full of melancholy: "If I return to my elf identity, I will no longer be able to enjoy delicious food. Although it's a pity, I still choose to agree."
"...Agree." Rong Yu's voice sounded from the back of the classroom, as concise as ever.
"I have no objection." Lin Lang held his chin up, with a bracelet from a luxury brand he recently endorsed on his fair wrist. He was dressed fashionably, looking like an artist. "I don't think there's much I can do in two months. It's better to recover my strength as soon as possible, just in case."
"Once you recover your strength, are you still going to be an artist?" Su Mu asked curiously.
"Why not?" Lin Lang said, "Why should I throw away the business I worked so hard to earn? Of course I'll grab both Earth and Parnaki."
Su Mu sighed: "It might be a little difficult for me... Is it not good for the Mermaid King to go out and sing?"
"You can change your thinking." Bai Luo smiled and said, "In order to save the Mermaid Kingdom, you, as the Mermaid King, stepped forward and decided to become an idol to earn foreign exchange."
"Thank you so much. Kyrenia's economy has been booming for the past 100 years, so it hasn't gone bankrupt!" Su Mu glanced at Bai Luo: "Forget it, we have to face it sooner or later, and I agree."
"I have no objection." Si Jishi followed closely: "The updates of 'WONDERLAND' are too slow, which affects the development of my career. I plan to bring the live broadcast to Parnaki and spread my love to both worlds~"
He hugged himself with his hands and said exaggeratedly.
"Then let me pour cold water on you. I object." Gao Shu pushed his glasses. "I analyzed the teaching progress of all magic academies. Let alone facing Parnaki, the series of natural disasters caused by it are very difficult for students to deal with with their current strength, not to mention ordinary people. Have you ever thought that the world is not prepared at all now? Indeed, it takes time for us to recover our strength. It is the best choice to recover to the peak before the two worlds are completely integrated. But what if we rashly open the channel, causing the spatial integration of Parnaki and the earth to accelerate and trigger a huge natural disaster? Do we have to sacrifice this part of the people for greater benefits? For me, how to let the earth peacefully pass the initial spatial integration is the most important thing. Not to mention two months, it would be good to squeeze out one more day."
"I object as well." Lin Yuan raised his hand and said, "You have seen the recent workload of the Tower of Babel. After the concentration of magic power increased, the number of mutants increased significantly, and we are already in a mess to deal with them. If natural disasters are added to this level, the pressure that the people need to bear is too much."
"I abstain." Song Mingzhe said, "It doesn't matter whether it's now or two months later. Anyway, there are dragons in charge of Earth and Parnaki. Even if there is chaos, I am capable of suppressing it."
"You are too confident!" Zhou Ruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If it is really that simple, why are we entangled with these things here? I am also against it. To me, every life is extremely precious."
"...I object too." Zhou Xun then said, "Momo's condition is not completely stable yet. If I rashly open the passage to Parnaki, I can't be sure of the consequences. Although it's selfish...but I've already put Momo in danger once, and I really don't want to see her get hurt again."
Xiao Shichuan rubbed his nose and said, "Then I'll vote for it. I think you're all too pessimistic. Even if we vote for it, we can't open the passage to Parnaki right away. There's enough time for a buffer. Can't we do both?"
"I agree." Owena smoothed her hair and said, "I am confident that I can stabilize my country and its vassal states. We have already created nine months for Earth, and it is time to buy some time for Parnaki to adapt. If there is a problem, we can solve it. What is there to be afraid of?"
"I agree too." Qiao Muyu said, "My sister doesn't have time."
There was a brief silence in the classroom again. After a moment, Zhao Yaya laughed helplessly: "My dad asked me yesterday if the whole family should go to C City for a trip on May Day... We haven't gone out to play together as a family for a while. Life is so peaceful now, even if it's just an illusion, I hope this peace can last a little longer... But I also know that false peace is meaningless, so I... I decided to agree."
"Ah, it's really ridiculous to decide other people's fate." Zhang Jiajia followed closely: "But, wouldn't it be better to wait until everything is settled and all problems are solved, and then go out and have fun peacefully? I agree."
"I give up." Shen Qiting said directly: "I have already located the intersection of Parnaki and the earth. You can set off anytime you want. You can decide on these matters."
"I abstain too." Ye Ziyu pursed her lips and said after Shen Qiting.
"I... agree." Jiang Cunzhi glanced at Rui Hang on the podium and said hesitantly: "Don't you think that the person who arranged our time travel has predicted our future from the beginning? We have rulers of various countries and ethnic groups in Parnac here. They can at least control the most powerful forces in Parnac, and control the intelligence network, public opinion, and economy of Parnac. After returning to Earth, they have begun to promote the integration of science and magic. Everything is changing for the better. With so many years of accumulation, what is there to worry about?"
"You are too careless." Du Heng said helplessly: "Even machines cannot achieve 100% probability, let alone humans. Although the voting result has been determined no matter what I choose, I still want to emphasize that our current choice carries the lives of two worlds and billions of people! To be honest, is it really okay for us to make our own decisions in the classroom? Shouldn't we discuss it with the government?"
"It's meaningless to delay any further." Chi Miaomiao said: "Since God has chosen us, why should ordinary people bear the same pressure? Someone has to make the choice, whether it's infamy or praise, it's enough for us to bear it all."
Yu Zhi smiled slightly: "No matter what the outcome is, I will protect my believers until the last moment."
Now that things have come to this, the result has been settled.
Rui Hang slowly scanned the entire class, and with a pair of determined eyes surrounding him, he nodded slightly: "Now that the results are out, let's go, everyone."
