Chapter 508: Hunter_1

Liu Siqi seemed at a loss for words for a moment, and after struggling, he could only say, "This is the Trisolaran World, or in the words of your younger days, the game starts at hell level."

"The help we can provide may at best bring you to Purgatory Level. How to develop yourself and how to strike at the enemy all depend on your own moves, and you're actually very skilled in this regard."

Jiang Yu had realized from the beginning that there was no barrier to his communication with Liu Siqi.

So he voiced the doubt in his mind, "Is it because you've used the 'Shop' to observe me, that you know so much about the various eras I've been in?"

"We can't use the 'Shop' to observe you," Liu Siqi explained. "I've always idolized you, and I know a lot about you, so I gradually gained a deep understanding of history."

Jiang Yu nodded. He suddenly noticed that the Deception Points he had accumulated before were dropping rapidly.

Thinking back to his previous communication with Ji Kang, it seemed that the energy for this exchange was provided by him, or that he had to share a part of it.

Luckily, he had hardly purchased any products from Wallfacer's Shop in the last century or two, so he could support such a long conversation. However, given the declining trend, he would run out of Deception Points in a few more minutes.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yu posed the two questions that were troubling humanity, "Is the phenomenon I called 'Chameleon' related to the Soulreaper civilization?

"And Ji Kang hinted that every civilization has its own set script. Is this hint correct?"

Liu Siqi answered the second question first: "It is correct for the humans of your era. From your time to a long period in the future, the present, past, and future are all fixed.

"But this is also a cunning trap. If you use it as a guiding thought, it might help you in the short term, but in the long run, it's easy to overlook the true nature of the universe and never reach the level of a God-level Civilization."

He paused before addressing the first question, "The 'Chameleon' is damage to the entire universe by the Soulreaper civilization, and it was one of the important reasons why we decided to declare war on the Soulreapers.

"Many God-level Civilizations have remodeled the universe extensively, including us. However, during the remodeling process, we have also caused some damage, so the universe is actually very fragile now.

"Careful remodeling and maintaining the stability of the universe when capable, this is the consensus of most God-level Civilizations.

"This is similar to the Dark Forest Law; although we have never gathered to discuss it, we are all adhering to some tacit agreements.

"Only the Soulreapers continue to do as they please, and their methods of expansion are the most despicable.

"To call Paradise a trap is not despicable, but when they convert the consciousness of intelligent beings into nutrients and energy to develop themselves, that's a different story.

"Even in the Dark Forest, such methods are disgusting.

"There's an old saying, 'When you kill, don't overdo it.' Just eradicate the civilization, and let the consciousness of that civilization go where it's meant to go.

"To destroy the consciousness as well is something that one day will have a devastating impact on the entire group of intelligent beings.

"So we took action and also received tacit cooperation from many other God-level Civilizations.

"Oh right, in the future, the Dark Forest between God-level Civilizations is not as cruel as it was in your era.

"Because we all know of each other's existence and none of us are sure we can annihilate the other, so we have formed a kind of broad deterrence against each other, and the situation is actually not that tense."

Liu Siqi paused and then explained, "You can regard the 'Chameleon' as a scar left in the vast universe by the Soulreapers, where time and space in the areas where a Chameleon appears are both in a state of chaos.

"Thirty-Six's speculations about the Chameleon incident are mostly correct. Cheng Ping, who encountered Logic, indeed came from another parallel universe.

"Her arrival attracted the attention of the Soulreapers, and when Cheng Ping from our parallel universe entered the 'Chameleon', the Soulreapers intervened."

"So Cheng Ping's message said he saw Paradise,"

"But we intervened in time, saved Cheng Ping, and let his cosmic travel continue."

Jiang Yu then asked, "What exactly did the Cheng Ping from another universe see?"

"It was a parallel universe belonging to humanity, along with the strings that connect these parallel universes," Liu Siqi explained:

"The damage Soulreapers bring to the universe can momentarily elevate consciousness to the heights of the cosmos, allowing one to look down upon certain things.

"But if there are too many 'Chameleons,' it could lead to the collapse of parallel universes and bring about chaos and disaster unprecedented, which is the second reason we acted against the Soulreapers."

Then Liu Siqi said, "Time is running out, do you have any more questions?"

Jiang Yu quickly asked, "What role does humanity play in the future?"

"Hunter!"

"I understand, thank you for your answers."

"It's a pleasure to communicate so freely with a great person from history, my respects to you!"

"Thank you."

At this moment, JK15 prompted, "This communication session has ended, please try not to disclose the content of this communication to prevent new future branches in the parallel universes."

Jiang Yu glanced at his Deception Points, the once massive points were now nearly depleted.

However, the impact of this communication was tremendous, giving Jiang Yu absolute confidence in the future.

Without God's View, Jiang Yu's sense of the future of humanity felt like a fog.

Now it was different, the future was a towering snow mountain, standing tall on the road ahead.

When facing humanity's dire situations, Jiang Yu would have more confidence.

Jiang Yu snapped back to reality, the emergency response team's hustle and bustle continued, he clapped his hands and said, "There's no need to consider a large-scale migration for now."

Everyone was stunned, not understanding why Jiang Yu had changed his mind so quickly.

When Jiang Yu first started communicating with Liu Siqi, he had suspected that Liu Siqi might be an imposter created by the makers of Paradise, aiming to confuse Jiang Yu and make him let down his guard.

But when it came to Jiang Shiliu, Jiang Yu completely believed in the other party.

Because the concept of the "Information Convergence Point" proposed by Jiang Shiliu was known by no more than a handful of people in all of humanity.

Thirty-Six and Jiang Shiliu were currently engaged in curvature flight and had already flown several light-years away; Paradise should not have found them yet.

The consciousnesses of Jiang Yu and Number Three had not been collected by Paradise either, so the creators of Paradise were still unaware of the connection between Jiang Shiliu and the "Information Convergence Point."

Immediately, Jiang Yu explained to everyone, "I've just thought it over, and with our current level of technology, it's nearly impossible to escape the surveillance of the makers of Paradise.

"So we might as well focus on developing ourselves now. If we were to engage in a large migration, our development would be stalled for half a century, which is not worth it!"
