Chapter 199 Only those wielding sharp swords can protect the human race!

"I knew Luo Ji wouldn't just give up like this!"

"Me, speaking to the Three-Body World!"

"I feel like the most intense plot is about to arrive!"

"I really feel sorry for those players who left the live stream; they probably won't be able to witness this historic moment with their own eyes!"

"Whether the creator of the three-body instance can actually conquer the Three-Body World or not, it all depends on right now!"

As Su Qiu spoke, the entire Three-Body World live stream erupted.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the camera, waiting for what Su Qiu would say next!

Under the gaze of the masses, Luo Ji, played by Su Qiu, spoke again: "This is a vital sign monitoring device."

"It is connected to a transmitter and a Cradle System."

As he spoke, he raised his left hand, revealing a watch-sized device on his wrist:

"You must still remember the incident involving Wallfacer Rey Diaz two centuries ago. Since that is the case, you must surely be familiar with the Cradle System!"

"The signal emitted by this monitoring device will pass through the Cradle System's link and reach the 3,614 ultimate weapons deployed by the Snow Project in solar orbit. The signal is transmitted once every second!"

"If I die, the signal maintained by the Cradle System will disappear, and all the ultimate weapons will explode!"

"The oil film material enveloping the ultimate weapons will form 3,614 clouds of interstellar dust around the sun during the explosion. Observed from a distance, the sun, obscured by this dust, will flicker at a high frequency!"

"Furthermore, the positions of all the ultimate weapons have been meticulously arranged!"

"This will cause the signal formed by the flickering of the sun to transmit a simple pattern, just like the one I sent two centuries ago."

"However, unlike last time, what is being transmitted this time is the relative position of the Three-Body World and thirty surrounding stars!"

"At that time, the Solar System will become a lighthouse, broadcasting the Curse. Of course, the Solar System and Blue Star will also be exposed."

"But that doesn't matter anymore. It will take over a year to complete the transmission of the pattern, but I believe there must be more advanced civilizations capable of receiving the entire message within a few days, or even a few hours!"

This was a plan for mutual destruction!

If the Three-Body World was not prepared to accept negotiations, Luo Ji would stop his own heart!

At the cost of exposing the positions of the Solar System and Blue Star, he would simultaneously expose the position of the Three-Body World!

In this way, the Three-Body World would be discovered by new hunters in the universe!

The consequence of this would be death!

Luo Ji rose and left Ye Wenjie's tombstone, coming to the tombstone he had meticulously dug for himself, holding a pistol against his heart: "Now, I will make my heart stop beating."

"Perhaps I will become the greatest villain in the history of both worlds. For the crimes I have committed, I will apologize, but I will never repent, because this is my only choice!"

"I know the sophon is right beside me, and I know you have never paid attention to humanity's cries. We have endured this contempt for two centuries!"

"Now, if you are willing, you can continue to remain silent. But I will only give you thirty seconds."

After speaking, Luo Ji began the final thirty-second countdown. This period passed very slowly.

After less than ten seconds, he suddenly saw the world before him split into four parts!

The first part was the surrounding world. The remaining three parts were transformed reflections!

The reflections came from three spheres that suddenly appeared directly in front of him, all of which had surfaces of total reflection.

"Is... is this the sophon?"

"I don't know which dimension of the sophon's unfolding this is, but these three spheres are really huge, directly blocking half the sky in front of Luo Ji."

"He succeeded, Luo Ji really succeeded!"

"Negotiating with the Three-Body World."

"It seems the Three-Body World is already afraid of his new version of the Curse. If these three-dimensional coordinates were transmitted, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"If this scenario were placed in the real world, I think the attacking civilization would also choose to stop, because the risks brought by continuing to attack are simply too great!"

"Mutual destruction."

"This is an even worse outcome than staying in the Three-Body World!"

"Stop!"

The appearance of the sophon meant that negotiations could proceed!

Seeing this, Su Qiu revealed a faint smile.

When setting up the three-body instance, he had deliberately set the survival countdown to the years when Luo Ji held the sword and negotiated with the Three-Body World, successfully creating the Deterrence Era!

The benefit of this was that it could greatly reduce the difficulty of the Three-Body World!

After all, it is impossible to face the Three-Body World directly with the level of civilization Blue Star is at.

The universe is cruel. In these countless years of history, there has never been an example of a low-level civilization defeating a high-level civilization, because it is impossible!

To conquer the three-body instance, the only possibility is to "hold the sword" and negotiate with the Three-Body World!

But who else knows the method of holding the sword? Except for him.

Therefore, the other Strategists who entered the "Three-Body World" had the wrong direction from the very beginning.

And the failure of these Strategists would mean Su Qiu's success!

By seizing the final reward of the "dark forest" Activity, he would not only be able to strengthen his own civilization but also establish a foothold in the entire universe!

"Can we discuss terms?" Withdrawing his thoughts, Su Qiu asked the three spheres in front of him.

"Put down the gun, and then we can negotiate." These words appeared on the three spheres simultaneously. Clearly, the Three-Body World feared Luo Ji's form of negotiation.

Su Qiu shook his head: "This is not a negotiation; it is a demand for my continued survival. I only want to know whether you agree or not."

"...State your demands."

"Make the droplet stop transmitting radio waves to the sun."

"It has been done according to your request." Almost at the same time Su Qiu finished speaking, the three spheres sent a reply.

Like the Luo Ji in the story, Su Qiu was not sure whether the sophon had done as he said; he remained skeptical.

However, what was certain was that there had been some subtle changes in the surrounding space; that pervasive and unknown noise had disappeared.

"Make the nine droplets currently heading toward the Solar System immediately change course."

"Fly away from the Solar System!"

"..." This time, the three spheres did not respond immediately. After a delay of a few seconds, subtitles appeared again before Luo Ji: "It has been done according to what you said."

"Give humanity a means of verification."

The three spheres flashed subtitles: "All nine probes will emit visible light, and your telescopes will be able to observe them."

"The last condition: the Three-Body fleet must not cross the Oort Cloud!"
