Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 805 - 778: Impossible

After dinner.

Chen Shouyi returned to his bedroom, filled a basin with hot water, and gave the two little mud monkeys a proper bath.

He then recalled the file folder Bai Xiaoling had sent, walked to the desk, picked it up, and tore it open.

Inside was a mess of invitation letters.

He glanced at them and took out one letter signed by the God of Fertility.

The envelope bore the mark of Divine Power, with a Divine Emblem woven from gold thread and gemstones embedded at the top, appearing exquisite and luxurious. Such a Divine Emblem alone could be worth tens of thousands if sold outside.

Smelling the unique fragrance of the Goddess of Fertility emanating from the envelope, Chen Shouyi’s lips curled into a faint, cold smile.

He casually ripped it open and took out the letter inside.

However, just a glance.

His hand trembled involuntarily, and the letter fell to the ground.

The calm demeanor on Chen Shouyi’s face was no longer maintainable.

"What’s the f**k!"

Chen Shouyi was dumbfounded, his gaze blank. After a long while, he picked up the letter again and read it over.

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"I clearly took proper safety measures... not a single trace of genetic material left, how could there be a pregnancy!!?"

Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but rub his face:

"Damn it, this must be a lie, a conspiracy!"

He was absolutely sure in his heart.

After venting for a while, he gradually calmed down and read the letter carefully once more.

"Could this... really be true?"

"With the timid nature of the God of Fertility, they shouldn’t dare to deceive me with something so easily exposed."

"Moreover, although it was only two nights, the frequency... was considerable, and with enough frequency, there could be a mistake, providing an opportunity for the God of Fertility to exploit. For a Barbarian God who controls the Divine Position of fertility, even a slight possibility of pregnancy could be infinitely amplified."

"If it really is my child..."

He suddenly realized clearly for the first time that he might have a descendant. And one born of a Barbarian God!

His emotions were extraordinarily complex.

"What a sin!"

He sighed, a look of helplessness on his face.

Should the outside world learn that he had fathered an illegitimate child with a Barbarian God, all his wise reputation would be lost in a day.

"Hopefully it won’t... be a monster?" Chen Shouyi’s paternal instinct finally prevailed: "No matter if it’s a monster or not, this child must be raised and educated by me. What does a Barbarian God know?"

"Now I just hope there’s no conspiracy?"

Chen Shouyi, of course, understood what the God of Fertility intended and didn’t care, merely seeking a sense of security. He feared only the shadow of... Tamu behind this.

He checked the time and found it was already close to eight o’clock.

He hesitated for a moment, but still abandoned the idea of going to Southeast Asia.

"Better to go tomorrow, after all, there’s no rush!" Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Chen Shouyi opened the door; it was Chen Xingyue.

"Brother, have some fruit."

"Got it!" Chen Shouyi took the fruit plate. Seeing Chen Xingyue turning to leave, he couldn’t help but call her back:

"Wait."

"Brother, what’s the matter?" Chen Xingyue asked.

Chen Shouyi opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing: "Forget it, it’s nothing."

What could he say, that he was expecting?

...

Meanwhile, at the High Committee.

In a conference room.

A massive projection screen was silently playing a model image of the Solar System orbiting the Milky Way.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with terror, doubt, anger, and despair.

"... All the information we have indicates that our world is being isolated." A highly respected physicist spoke gravely to everyone: "Through a grand mechanism beyond our understanding, our Solar System is... gradually detaching from the original universe."

"Mr. Luo, isn’t this a bit... exaggerated? I’m not questioning your field, but you must also know the gravity and significance of this matter."

This result is too bewildering, completely beyond the understanding of normal people.

Luo Changning shook his head: "I wish it were so. Before coming here, I privately talked with other physicists informed of the situation, including Tanaka Ichiro, Professor Johnson, and Professor Rafael, but unfortunately, there’s no luck."

These names, including Luo Changning, are all giants of contemporary physics, representing the forefront of human civilization. Even after migrating to the Great Xia Country, they still receive all the treatment of top scientists.

"Since we’re isolated, why can we still see starlight?" Someone raised a question.

"Because photons have quantum properties; in other words, photons have the ability to traverse dimensions."

People continued to raise doubts, and Luo Changning answered each one.

Soon, no one else spoke, and the atmosphere became oppressively tense. Everyone looked solemn, and a sense of despair pervaded the conference room.

"Can we escape this isolation, like using a spacecraft? Considering humanity’s future, Mr. Luo, please speak frankly without reservation," the president broke the silence and asked.

"This isolation is fundamentally a spatial distortion, a change in dimensions. According to general relativity and quantum theory, the universe is a finite, unbounded four-dimensional hypersphere!" Luo Changning glanced at the podium, tremblingly picking up the globe on the podium:

"If we compare this globe to our universe, the Solar System is an insignificant part of it, like a small dot. Now, this small dot has detached from the globe, shrinking into an independent hypersphere.

If you ask whether we can return to our original dimension and merge with the universe again, my answer is it’s impossible. At humanity’s current technological level, we are far from achieving that. Humans are completely powerless regarding the universe’s fourth dimension.

Now we can only hope that the Solar System has only detached by a trivial amount in dimension, and the space hasn’t completely closed and become independent, with parts still connected to the universe. If so, we have a slim chance to escape."

"I understand, but we still have time, don’t we?" The president forced a smile, trying to stay hopeful: "At the very least, we could retreat to another world."

...

At this moment, it’s not just the Great Xia Country.

All the high-level officials of countries who received the information were shrouded in thick clouds. The flicker of hope humanity had painstakingly kindled was extinguished again, and the harsh, bloody reality lay naked before humanity.

A despairing sight.

The pride of humanity, all means of humanity, all desperate struggles of humanity, facing Tamu, an existence that transcends dimensions and imagination, are as laughable as ants struggling futilely at the last moment beneath humanity’s feet.

Destroying you, what does it matter to them?

The opponent was merely coming to devour the Solar System; as for those insignificant lives on a particular planet’s surface, they were not even the target, merely collateral damage.
