Chapter 586: Yun Tianming Himself_1

In order to avoid exposing humanity's ambush plans, Jiang Yu had only sent an intelligent robot to warn Yun Tianming, alerting him of the potential danger that the star system they were heading to may turn into a Dark Domain and urging them to leave immediately.

As for whether Yun Tianming, Guan Yifan, and the others were willing to heed this warning, Jiang Yu would not interfere any further.

Everyone has the right to choose. Jiang Yu presented the dangerous warning to Yun Tianming and the others; if they still chose to enter that star system, he would not dispatch someone specifically to rescue them.

This might be the destiny they were anticipating.

Upon hearing that the Trisolarans intended to return Yun Tianming, the first thought that crossed Jiang Yu's mind was that the Trisolarans were deceiving. So, he said to the Trisolarans,

"As far as I know, Yun Tianming has gone to meet Cheng Xin, and the star system where they were supposed to meet has now become a Dark Domain."

Only after dispatching the message did Jiang Yu consider: Was Yun Tianming in that Dark Domain the real Yun Tianming? Or rather, was he truly Yun Tianming himself?

Then he suddenly thought, was the agreement between Yun Tianming and Cheng Xin a means for Yun Tianming to bring a sample of Microcosmos Technology to humanity?

While pondering this, the Trisolarans indeed replied, "The Yun Tianming there is a clone. The real body of Yun Tianming is still with us!"

On the side, Qin Ming and Xiao Qi both unconsciously displayed expressions of surprise. In the textbooks of the Solar System State, Yun Tianming held the same stature as Wallfacers and Zhang Beihai.

He achieved the heroic feat of infiltrating interstellar civilizations; he warned humanity about the Two-Dimensional Strike and the Curvature Spaceship.

Especially regarding the Two-Dimensional Strike, Jiang Yu had publicly stated on multiple occasions that the Solar System State was so well-prepared for the Two-Dimensional Strike mainly because of Yun Tianming's warning.

The merit belonged to Yun Tianming. Jiang Yu merely had the advantage of God's View, so all the credit for humanity escaping the Two-Dimensional Strike without severe injury went to Yun Tianming.

There had been news reports before stating that the star system Yun Tianming entered had become a Dark Domain.

At that time, many people spontaneously mourned Yun Tianming.

But now, the Trisolarans were saying that Yun Tianming was a clone!

Jiang Yu felt a pang of sorrow. He could almost be certain now that what Yun Tianming called an "agreement" with Cheng Xin was the means by which he brought a sample of Microcosmos Technology from the Trisolarans.

Since the Solar System State had already mastered the technology, Jiang Yu hadn't considered this possibility.

That was a secondary concern; the main issue was whether the Yun Tianming who brought the Microcosmos to the Blue Planet in the original story was also a clone, with his real body remaining in the world of the Trisolarans all along?

At this thought, Jiang Yu felt increasingly heavyhearted.

The weakness of humanity in the original story harmed not only Logic but also Yun Tianming.

It seemed as though whoever made contributions to humanity, they were bound to be harmed!

Jiang Yu quickly controlled his emotions and asked the Trisolarans, "How can you prove that what you are saying is true?"

The Trisolarans: "To prevent the leakage of Microcosmos Technology, we once ordered the clone that he must comply with Cheng Xin's decisions regarding the use of the Microcosmos.

"We conducted many simulations, and Cheng Xin's choices would certainly not provide any help to humanity, which is why we felt assured in letting him leave with the Microcosmos.

"Additionally, we set a limit on the number of people who could enter the Microcosmos. Considering Ai AA's presence, the Microcosmos could accommodate no more than three people. Besides Yun Tianming, there are only two spots left, ruling out the possibility of other people entering to take a look.

"These factors led the clone of Yun Tianming to seek out Cheng Xin first rather than return to the New Continent Star System.

"Of course, we could also have Yun Tianming's real body talk with you, for you to judge for yourself whether he is the real one."

With a helpless smile, Jiang Yu wondered, was Cheng Xin really not an enemy plant, a fool being used by the enemy? The Trisolarans were even able to exploit her to design against humanity!

Jiang Yu quickly thought it over and said, "I want to speak with Yun Tianming himself."

Half a minute later, Yun Tianming's voice came through the communicator, "Wallfacer, I didn't expect that we would meet again, nor did I envision that under your rule humanity has become so powerful."

Jiang Yu let out a long sigh, "You have been away in a foreign land for so long, it's time you came back."

Then he asked, "I'm curious, after so many years apart from Cheng Xin, do you still love her?"

Yun Tianming answered, "Love."

The response was without hesitation, but Jiang Yu could tell it seemed to lack true feeling.

Jiang Yu was almost certain that this was indeed Yun Tianming himself, and even if it was not his original body, it possessed all of Yun Tianming's thoughts and consciousness, which was no different from Yun Tianming's main body.

"I understand," Jiang Yu said. "Please bear with it a little longer, and when you return, I will personally take you on a tour around Blue Maiden Star."

Yun Tianming replied, "Okay!"

Then the Trisolarans asked, "Wallfacer, may we continue our dialogue now?"

"I sense your sincerity," Jiang Yu said. "All members of the New Earth Organization are welcome to join humanity.

"I will assign you a star system of direct governance level.

"Trisolarans will have autonomy within the star system, but may not maintain armed forces, and will also have to accept surveillance by the Solar System State in public places within the system."

The Trisolarans were somewhat troubled, "We can accept the condition of not maintaining armed forces, but can we have surveillance only in the locations we designate?"

Jiang Yu laughed, "You should know that the terms I have offered are not harsh.

"Other star systems in the Solar System State are also under strict surveillance, it's not just directed at you.

"And I did not ask you to control population, which is much more lenient than the terms you proposed to the humans in Australia back then."

A few minutes later, the Trisolarans indeed agreed to the conditions offered by Jiang Yu, and then both parties set the rendezvous point and other details.

In the end, Jiang Yu said, "I will personally come to receive you, of course, not you, but Yun Tianming."

After ending the call, Jiang Yu said to Qin Ming, "Immediately summon Yun Tony, Belinsky, Shi Mingwei, and others!"

The fish had finally taken the bait.

Half a month later, the upper echelons of the Solar System State finally settled on the general plan for this operation.

Following that, Jiang Yu began preparing for this interstellar journey. He first designated Qin Ming as the new Wallfacer, then gathered all his family members for a meal.

Looking at Jiang Que and Qin Hai, who were now silver-haired, Jiang Yu guessed they might not live to see his return.

But Jiang Yu wasn't too saddened by this; he had already bid farewell to many friends and relatives. As long as his loved ones and friends had lived fulfilling lives, he felt their lives were meaningful.

After the family banquet, Xiao Qi saw Qin Ming and the others out, and then mustered the courage to say to Jiang Yu, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, "Can I come with you?"

Jiang Yan was taken aback for a moment, "What would you do there?"

"Nothing in particular," Xiao Qi said with a smile, "I just really want to see the outside world."

Jiang Yu smiled and looked at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan spread her hands, "I don't mind, I could always move in with my sister. Their house is huge."

"Good!" Jiang Yu nodded, "Get ready, we leave in a week!"
