Chapter 2127: Final - : New World_2

Due to Gu Shen’s [creator] ability, which bore more than ninety percent of the storm attack for the Five Continents, the post-war reconstruction work this time was not too difficult, at least much easier compared to the "Landers" six hundred years ago.

All three starships have self-repair functions.

The end of this war means that humanity finally has the opportunity to enjoy the dividends of the "Extraordinary Era."

However, the "peace" of humanity did not last too long.

The New Calendar ended, and the Star Calendar began.

It is called the "Star Calendar" because after the Source Material Storm battle ended, human civilization gained the ability to break through the stars and explore the outer worlds.

With the assistance of [Deep Sea]’s powerful computing power, the Ancient Literature Society began to study new starships. Using the initial number as a template, through Miracle Silver and Xie Zheng’s "Molten Iron Hand," they repaired the severely damaged Alf... In addition, after that battle, Mr. Turing rejoined the Ancient Literature Society as an "ordinary researcher."

Once the existence of [Destiny] can be foreseen.

Then [Destiny] is no longer terrifying.

Worship destiny, believe in destiny, question destiny, fight against destiny... ultimately conquer destiny.

Gu Shen’s battle with the super giant storm convinced Turing.

He proposed a possibility for the future of human destiny, purely for reference.

At the Skytop at the end of the world, there is a thin-air death zone.

This death zone is an "off-limits" area the Starship Civilization has never broken through, where a giant humanoid black hole grows. Even if consumed by Gu Shen’s Chi Huo, the disorderly Source Material there still grows rapidly.

The reason for this.

Is because... that is the channel connecting [Destiny] with the human world.

Most likely, this is the entrance point where the [Gospel Box] fell into the human world.

Theoretically speaking, if one can enter here, one can also leave.

However, ordinary starships could not bear the disorderly Source Material pressure of the death zone.

Although humanity defeated the super giant storm, it does not mean that humanity can conquer that restricted area... If you want to know what’s in the outside world, the only "exit" is the Skytop at the End of the Old World.

The giant ship of the Starship Civilization broke at the Skytop...

What was left for Gu Shen was just a tip of it.

As for the remaining parts, not a trace can be found, perhaps these fragments have been completely destroyed in the void currents, or perhaps a thousand years ago, the Lord of Melting Iron, the Grain Goddess, chose to leave the spark here in the [Old World], and with their remaining people and hope, they rushed toward the Skytop.

The truth of this broken history can no longer be found.

But humanity’s "future" is gradually becoming clear.

The so-called oasis does not exist in the [Old World].

However, if there is a "New World" beyond the Skytop...

Maybe there can be an oasis found there.

For Gu Shen, even knowing the oasis is just a lie, as long as there’s a sliver of possibility, he would exhaust all effort to find such a place.

There’s no way around it, as Gu Shen would say himself, he’s just that kind of "fool."

Knowing it’s impossible, yet still trying.

After the initial number was fully repaired, Gu Shen sought Alf’s opinion, and the latter expressed willingness to go with Gu Shen to the Skytop to find traces left by the Lord of Melting Iron.

Thus, this starship set sail.

On this journey, Gu Shen only brought along Chu Ling.

At that time... their child was just born, less than a year old. Due to the great danger of this mission to the Skytop, they chose to leave "Gu Zhaoxi" in the Five Continents.

"I thought it would be another long five, seven years."

Mu Wanqiu, clad in a gown, came to Bai Xiu and Gu Xiaoman, with complex emotions, joked: "I didn’t expect them to return so quickly this time."

Only two years passed.

The Initial Number sent back news.

The mission to break through the Skytop was indeed fraught with dangers.

Everyone worried when Gu Shen would return... but interestingly, no one worried about whether Gu Shen would return.

It seemed everyone assumed that no matter how long Gu Shen disappeared, he would inevitably return.

It’s just a matter of time.

"Yeah. It seems it only took two and a half years? We don’t even know what’s beyond the Skytop, whether the legendary ’New World’ really exists..."

Bai Xiu said with a smile, and halfway through, he furrowed his brow, realizing something was amiss: "Miss Mu, why are you dressed in such formal attire, with such an elaborate appearance?"

"Don’t you know, today is Gu Nanfeng and Meng Xizhou’s engagement party."

Mu Wanqiu raised her eyebrows.

In her memory, after the war ended, Bai Xiu first recuperated, then went into seclusion, and there had been no news during this time.

Gu Shen boarded a starship to the Skytop and beyond... this matter was practically informed to everyone in the highest seat.

But not to Little Xiuzi.

In terms of combat power.

Having comprehended the "Hunting Spark," Bai Xiu is now the strongest among the Twelve God Thrones!

Going to the Skytop is a mission full of dangers for others, but it’s just right for Little Xiuzi.

The reason Gu Shen kept it a secret was hoping Bai Xiu could rest well without any worries... This turned out to be very correct, as in the battle with the super giant Source Material Storm, Bai Xiu exerted a lot of effort and sustained severe injuries.

This seclusion lasted several years. When he opened his eyes again, Gu Shen and Chu Ling had already left the Five Continents, and the Skytop mission was almost over.

"...Engagement party?"

Bai Xiu’s expression became peculiar.

"These two have been waiting for you to come out of seclusion. They told me before that they sent you an invitation."

Mu Wanqiu laughed as she spoke: "Today, just as Gu Shen returned, everyone gathered for the engagement party, and it really is a joyful day."

Bai Xiu quickly checked his emails.

As someone in the highest seat... he receives so many emails every day, and during this long seclusion, he read none of them.

Just recently.

Gu Nanfeng sent an invitation, detailing the engagement party.

Such "major events" should typically be communicated through the Spirit Network.

"Brother Bai, no need to be anxious."

Gu Nanfeng held Meng Xizhou’s hand, both dressed in the ancient, simple formal attire of Snow Forbidden City, slowly approached. Gu Nanfeng smiled and comforted: "Actually, today is just an ordinary party. No need for exquisite attire, just being here is enough. The previously sent invitation was merely a formality. Today, Brother Bai’s presence is more than enough."

Bai Xiu and Gu Xiaoman exchanged a look, both left helpless.

No wonder the fireworks were so splendid today, so grand, here was the reason.

The union of two God Thrones is a monumental event shaking the entire Five Continents... But since everyone knew Gu Nanfeng and Meng Xizhou were a pair, this news was not so sensational.

"Rumble, rumble—"

At this moment.

The sky, awash with fireworks, suddenly trembled with a slight thundering sound.

Above the clouds, a streak of crimson light flared; the giant, whale-like belly of the Initial Number gradually broke through the clouds, descending. Its appearance was without warning, as if "replacing" a large patch of cloud, suddenly appeared above everyone’s heads... The arrival of this starship did not bring a great sense of oppression.

On the contrary, those who had experienced the North Continent Giant Wall battle felt the crimson firelight warmed and steadied their innermost selves.

The starship slowly landed, docking before New Island.

Bai Xiu, Gu Xiaoman, Mu Wanqiu, Gu Nanfeng, Meng Xizhou... everyone approached, fireworks soared straight up to the Skytop.

In that instant.

The night seemed to be dyed into day.

The starship’s portal slowly opened.

The fluttering fireworks fell, and amid the sky full of light dust and debris, Gu Shen pushed open the enormous bronze door, bent over, and emerged from the Initial Number.

The moment he straightened up and saw the people in front of him, Gu Shen hesitated for a second.

He hadn’t expected such a grand gesture to welcome his return.

"Everyone, long time no see..."

His gaze swept over the familiar faces of old friends, and he felt a warm current rush to his heart.

Gu Shen smiled, reached out, and helped Chu Ling, who was slightly stumbling as she followed him out.

"We."

"Have returned from the New World."
