Chapter 590: New Life_1

The Trisolaran hastily said, "I need to remind you that during your Common Era, our colonization plan didn't intend to immediately eliminate all of humanity."

"But you were prepared to sterilize humanity!" Jiang Yu said coldly, "Not to mention, Sophon's pressure on us has lasted for several centuries and remains vivid in my memory to this day.

"Moreover, at that time, the number of your first group of colonizers was not large, and you could coexist with Earthlings for a while, which is why you planned to sterilize, reflecting your mercy.

"I think if you could colonize hundreds of millions at once, you probably would have immediately exterminated humanity!"

The Trisolaran said again, "We even planned to make Australia a reservation for humanity, and I hope we can enjoy the same treatment!"

"Bullshit reservation!" Jiang Yu said coldly, "In my view, that was a period of humiliation for humanity!

"Besides, by then, humanity posed little threat to you, so you dared to preserve a part of it.

"Of course, I won't make the same mistake you did. To destroy you is the greatest respect I can show."

The Trisolaran remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Yu continued, "You should know, the hatred between us didn't start now, but from the second battle, from the battle of Uranus.

"Even earlier, from the maneuvers of the Crisis Era, from the Common Era when we each discovered the other's existence, the moment you planned to colonize the Solar System marked the end of any possibility of mediation between us."

After a long pause, the Trisolaran said, "I understand. I never thought that the Trisolarans would be wiped out by their own kind in the end."

If it had not been for the New Earth Organization's wishful thinking, believing Jiang Yu's lies about negotiations, the New Star System of the Trisolarans wouldn't have been exposed to humanity so soon.

Jiang Yu said, "When a civilization develops to a certain stage, the crisis from within becomes greater than the threat from the outside.

"Up to now, you have made many mistakes, and the seeds of today's outcome were sown long ago."

The emergence of Microcosmos Technology changed the Trisolarans' nature significantly.

A stable living environment, free from the Chaotic Era, caused the Trisolarans to lose their former cautious mindset.

Jiang Yu has always pushed humanity to advance relentlessly, wanting humans to feel that they have no way out and can only keep moving forward!

And the Trisolarans, in their new world, gradually became careless.

"We also made the same mistakes humanity once made, right?" This was the last words of the New Earth Organization.

Jiang Yu responded, "Yes."

The conversation ended there.

Jiang Yu sat in his chair, staring at the screen that had turned back into a wall, lost in thought for quite a while.

This mighty foe that had accompanied humanity for hundreds of years had finally been vanquished by Jiang Yu.

After a slight rush of excitement, he felt empty and drained of energy.

Several hours later, Belinsky reported to Jiang Yu, "Wallfacer, we have completely annihilated the New Earth Organization and crushed the Trisolarans' assault fleet, with no survivors.

"Moreover, the attacks on the two Planetary Systems under construction by the Trisolarans were highly successful, with no survivors either.

"Based on our estimates, only some Trisolaran ships traveling at the speed of light escaped this strike.

"Part of the Third Legion will stay in the two Planetary Systems for a while, waiting to catch any Trisolarans that may appear."

Jiang Yu nodded, "Even if one or two ships managed to escape, the Trisolarans will never threaten humanity again."

He stood up and said, "They're like Starship Earth was once, with only two ships escaping, weak and isolated, they could only scurry around like mice, hiding everywhere, without any..."

Jiang Yu suddenly felt a tinge of heart palpitations and dizziness: "...chance to develop an advanced civilization?"

He thought to himself: Maybe I stood up too quickly.

Belinsky was taken aback, "Didn't Starship Earth initially have several spacecraft, forming a fleet that was not small at that time?"

Jiang Yu's body froze abruptly, "I, it seems I got mixed up, confused."

He suddenly felt the world spinning, only seeing Belinsky step forward to help him, and then everything went dark and he lost consciousness.

Jiang Yu silently gazed into the endless darkness before him.

Where am I?

What am I doing here?

I can't remember anything; I can only continue to stare into the darkness.

Suddenly, a stranger's voice reached Jiang Yu's ears, "The Wallfacer might never wake up again. He used the then-imperfect 'Genetic Stimulation' technology to treat his injuries back then.

"We had diagnosed several years ago that the effects of the 'Genetic Stimulation' technology had gradually been depleted over the years, something you are all aware of.

"So now, the Wallfacer is not only aging, but the injuries he sustained back then are also continuously eroding his body."

Jiang Yu gradually remembered his own physical condition, and the strange voice was indeed that of his chief physician.

Jiang Yu had long been mentally prepared for this day, and at this moment, his heart was somewhat relieved: he was finally facing death.

He had lived far too long, so long that he could not remember his own age.

Living was truly tiring; perhaps only in death could he find true rest.

Then Jiang Yu heard Yang Dong's voice tinged with sobs, "You kept telling me to wait for you, yet you're going to leave first."

Jiang Yan and the others began to speak words of comfort, followed by Jiang Yan and Qin Hao discussing Jiang Yu's arrangements after his death.

Qin Ming, however, stated, "Grandfather is the third person in the Solar System State worthy of a state funeral. His funeral is not only our family matter but also a public affair of the Solar System State.

"Have you considered my previous suggestion?

"I hope grandfather can become the Solar System State's final safeguard."

There seemed to be Jiang Shiliu's voice too, persuading Yang Dong to enter the Fifth Dimension, "Perhaps there you could see your father again."

Jiang Yu very much wanted to open his eyes and say goodbye to them one by one, but no matter how hard he tried, all he saw was pitch black.

All the voices around him disappeared, and Jiang Yu felt so tired.

Just let me sleep.

Suddenly, a light flashed before Jiang Yu's eyes, quickly expanding, turning his entire world white.

This white light was very gentle, and Jiang Yu felt very comfortable bathing in it.

Shortly after, Jiang Yu gradually regained his senses and was no longer so muddled.

There was gentle, bright light all around him, and Jiang Yu couldn't help but wonder, "Could this be the process of death? And what place is this? Heaven or hell?"

Suddenly, the gentle light slowly faded, and the white light gradually outlined a complex image.

To his surprise, it was an ink painting! The painting depicted a small pond blooming with lotuses, several blossomed lotus flowers, and a few buds just showing their tips.

The lotuses were dignified and beautiful, the buds barely showing their pointed tips seemed to convey endless hope and vitality.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and suddenly noticed an elegant man standing beside him.

Jiang Yu asked, "Is this heaven?"

"No," the man smiled, "this is the Milky Way in the year 1977!"
