As the voice described, a 'saint' in a white uniform with an amiable smile and pure brilliance beaming out of his body truly appeared in Li Yao's mind. Looking at his pure, flawless eyes and his compassionate expression, Li Yao felt that he was the kind of person who would cut off his own flesh and blood to help the hungry and thirsty victims of the disaster.
However, below the pair of wings that were as white as an angel's, black devils were hiding.
Assassinating the upright politicians and soldiers who were truly upright, participating in the power struggles of the nobles and the magnates, imprisoning and corrupting the journalists who were bold enough to speak the truth, forcing the respected and renowned scholars to openly lie about their plans to march into the grand universe through all kinds of coercion, including kidnapping their families. There were also heinous, inhuman human experiments, condensing powerful techniques with the blood of countless innocent people, and producing countless monster warriors who were loyal to him …
"Wanzanghai", the chairman of the Earth Council, was almost a replica of Xiao Xuance, Lu Zui, Wuying Qi, and the rest of them. No, he was the "ancestor" of those ambitious schemers and schemers. His thoughtfulness and brutality made even Li Yao feel that his blood was freezing.
"What … What have I done exactly?"
The moment he made the choice that he had no other choice, Li Yao regretted it.
Although all of this was a matter of the past that had already occurred hundreds of millions of years ago, history that could not be changed, Li Yao still felt that it was him who had released the vicious beast, the Wanzang Sea. Moreover, he had allowed this vicious beast to wantonly trample on his mind and spirit, corroding his Dao heart.
Speaking of which, Wanzanghai was the same as the schemers and schemers such as Xiao Xuance, Lu Zui, Wuying Qi, and the rest of them. Other than his evil nature, he also boasted a tenacious will and remarkable leadership.
Under his strategizing and unremitting efforts, the plan to march into the grand universe was pushed forward at a high speed. Five hundred immigrant starships, each of which could accommodate a million hibernators and allow fifty thousand of them to live and research while they were awake, were finally built.
The human hibernation technology and space sailing technology were maturing day by day, too. There were still a lot of follow-up technologies that could be explored and developed after they escaped from Earth.
Everything was ready except for the east wind.
At this moment, Wanzanghai told a great lie to all the people.
There were only five hundred immigrant starships, which could only carry five hundred million people at best.
However, Wanzanghai bribed and threatened all the specialists, scholars, and project participants. He even fabricated 2,500 nonexistent immigrant starships with shabby shells and backdrops, increasing the total number of the immigrant fleet to three thousand starships.
Three thousand starships were more than enough to carry everybody to escape.......................
As for Wan Zanghai, he was promoted from a "Saint" to a "Savior". Everyone believed that he could save the civilization and save everyone.
Naturally, it was a complicated and protracted job to transfer everybody to the starships. The authorities of the Earth Council under the leadership of Wanzanghai asked all the people to be patient and wait at home. As long as the stability of the society was maintained, it would soon be their turn to board the starships.
"All the people on Earth are an inseparable whole. I will never abandon anyone, just like I will never abandon my own heart!"
Wanzanghai's words were sonorous and powerful.
He had deceived all the people with such a despicable trick.
Most of the civilians had been drained of their last drop of blood and sweat in the hard struggle in the past hundred years. They were waiting patiently in the slums with nothing but hope in their arms.
Wanzanghai, on the other hand, established a lot of "space training camps" everywhere, claiming that they were providing adaptability training for the ordinary people. He pulled a lot of people away by truckloads. Such an approach further divided the crowd and stabilized people's hearts. Everybody believed that they would be next.
The nobles, magnates, soldiers, elites, and villains, on the other hand, boarded the five hundred real immigrant starships without a sound, taking away most of the valuable facilities and resources on Earth by the way.
During the period, of course, a lot of soul-stirring, twisted, and bizarre stories took place, including the reporters and scientists who were determined to tell people the truth, only to be secretly captured and killed by Wanzanghai's accomplices.
Finally —
When the five hundred real immigrant starships spurted out crimson exhaust flames and soared into the sky, tearing apart the atmosphere but leaving the intense black smoke to Earth, it was not until then that the ordinary people discovered the scheme of Wanzanghai, the nobles, and the magnates.
But it was too late. Before Wan Zanghai left, he had destroyed all the surface-to-air missiles in the military base, and the speed of the immigrant starship was so fast that it soon got rid of the Earth's gravitational field. No matter how desperate, howling, and roaring the people on the ground were, it was impossible for them to affect the fugitives in the sea of stars at all.
"This — this is —"
Although Li Yao could not feel his real body, he still felt that it was more difficult to breathe.
He had known that the 'no choice' was extremely sordid and cruel, but he did not know that it would be so sordid and cruel.
The picture of the fury, desperation, and sorrow of the people who stayed on Earth did not pop up in his head, but he could totally imagine that Earth at this moment had become a hundred times more dreadful and pathetic than hell.
The picture on the immigrant starships — the scenes where the nobles, magnates, and elites cheered, celebrated, sang, and danced with champagne in their hands — was so vivid that Li Yao felt both ashamed and infuriated.
Then, Li Yao saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The migration fleet did not leave the solar system directly. Instead, it stayed outside the orbit of Jupiter, trying to use the enormous gravitational force of Jupiter to create a "gravitational slingshot". In the direction of the sun, huge golden membranes were opened, like sails that covered the sky and the earth.
They were waiting, waiting for the destruction of Earth in silence.
It was coming. The meteorite shower was coming.
On the scale of the grand universe, the meteorite shower was as insignificant as a grain of dust that could not be distinguished by the naked eye.
It was not until the meteorite shower that carried tremendous crystals and spiritual energy hit the sun brutally, raising thousands of raging fiery snakes that swallowed Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars that Li Yao had to admit that it was a real catastrophe.
Earth was destroyed.
This was the origin of the primordial human race and one of the earliest life sources in this part of the Universe Ocean. This plump, juicy, and vibrant blue planet instantly turned yellow and charred under the destructive demonic flames. It had an irregular and deformed appearance, like the core of a rotten apple.
Li Yao felt that his soul was about to be burnt into ashes like the core of the burning apple.
The picture, the picture that he would never forget even if he turned into ashes, was something that he had seen before. He had seen it somewhere before. Yes. It was in his uncanny dreams. It was the 'Earth on the inside and outside' in his uncanny dreams!
With everything coming to this point, Li Yao could no longer tell which was the real Earth, or the 'original Earth', and which was the illusionary Earth, or the 'derivative Earth'.
The destructive solar storm swept across everything, but it also provided tremendous impetus for the immigrant fleet like a surging tide.
The golden sails of the immigrant fleet absorbed the energy from the sun and were accelerated by the gravity slingshots. Like arrows that had been released from the bowstring, they marched out of the solar system without looking back, leaving behind their home that was completely destroyed and countless wronged souls.
"Goodbye, Earth."
"We're here, universe!"
Li Yao saw that, on a lot of starships, the fat magnates and magnates were smoking cigars, tasting wine, laughing, patting their bellies, and declaring their ambitions.
Then, it was the picture where Wanzanghai stood on the bridge of a starship, with most of his face hidden in darkness, looking lonely, and gloomy.
What happened next was beyond Li Yao's wildest dreams.
The five hundred immigrant starships had already escaped from the scourge of the solar storm and were even accelerated by both the solar storm and the gravity slingshots. They were about to reach the highest speed and enter a stable and safe cruising state.
But most of the starships, about four hundred of them, had a series of dense explosions!
The explosions were not large and did not damage the overall structure and the propulsion system of the starships, but they were enough to destroy all the life-support systems inside the starships, burn up all the oxygen, and kill all the passengers, both those who were hibernating and those who were celebrating.
The picture was switched to the interior of the starships that had exploded again. The celebratory banquet that had just been a moment ago turned into a burning purgatory. The magnates and magnates who had survived the disaster were either riddled with holes, their broken limbs flying everywhere, or waving candles enshrouded by the unextinguishable fire, or they clutched their throats so hard that their lips were almost torn apart, but they could not breathe the precious oxygen at all.
Very soon, the artificial gravity field was gone, and the bodies of the magnates and magnates floated in the cold and quiet space. They did not understand what had happened until they died. Their bulging eyes were filled with confusion and fear, as if their starships had been attacked by the wronged souls from Earth.
Of course, some magnates and magnates had considered the natural disasters such as meteoroids during the voyage. They had specially installed "safety rooms" on their starships and put on spacesuits in time.
However, it was useless.
