26: Chapter 26: After a Brief Peace Comes the End

Inside the dormitory building of Gusu High School.

The three teachers had unconsciously wrapped themselves in their small quilts.

For some reason, they felt a mysterious chill, and their body temperatures dropped.

Old Wu said in shock, "State-level media certification is almost equivalent to official tacit approval!"

Old Zhao took a sharp breath. "If the Greys existed as early as 1947, then the [Three-Foot Child] in the tui bei tu..."

"What's terrifying is, could they be the same existence?"

"The Greys had to show up to end this farce?"

Old Wang, who was beside them, also took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

"No, not just in modern times; they appeared much further back!"

As the history teacher with the widest range of knowledge here, he knew more information!

"In our country's ancient texts like 'Zhuangzi' and the 'classic of mountains and seas,' various mysterious phenomena like [Flying Chariots] and [Flowing Fire] were recorded—"

"Some were confirmed to be [Ball Lightning], while others were recorded as extremely fast [Aerial Apparatuses]!"

"For example, the luminous flying objects that appeared during the Yao and Shun periods—their descriptions match the characteristics of UFOs from the early modern and even modern eras perfectly!"

"And then there's the Ming Dynasty's [Flying Men from the Heavens] incident."

"It was recorded in the 'History of Ming: Treatise on the Five Elements'—in the 23rd year of Wanli, which is 1595."

"A flying apparatus shaped like a small boat appeared. After it descended from the sky and the door opened..."

"A small person appeared, only a little over one foot tall, maybe two feet. He took someone away. That incident bears similarities to modern alien abductions."

"Many ancient texts, both domestic and foreign, have long recorded..."

"These Greys!!!"

As Old Wang's decisive words fell and were sent to the livestream as a voice bullet comment...

It caused a massive uproar!

His account had a gold certification, with the profession: Certified History Teacher.

"Holy crap!!"

"A history teacher from Gusu High School has come out to certify it."

"I've heard it all. Damn, it's so freaking terrifying. The Greys have been here all along!"

"Mom, my materialistic knowledge is no longer pure!"

...

Operations Department of the Dougou Platform.

Six or seven operators gathered around Operator Wang.

They kept a close eye on the data, their scalps tingling with numbness every second.

Operator Wang couldn't help but gulp. "Brothers, I feel like I'm no longer just managing Xiao Yu's livestream..."

"But rather managing a [World-Shattering Secret] that is about to be solved!"

"What we need to do is ensure this livestream doesn't get reported or ordered to be shut down!"

"If anyone else said this, the traffic would have vanished long ago."

"The key is Xiaoyu's brother..."

"It's completely random, without any script or preparation. His speaking ability is no longer something an ordinary person could possess!!!"

The operators on the side looked at each other, all seeing the shock on each other's faces.

What was originally a perfectly fine Sinology livestream...

Who would have thought Jiang Zhe knew so much? And the more he spoke, the more alarming it became!

This was very... hair-raising!

...

Inside the dormitory building of the History Department of a 985 university in Magic City.

The college student called Old Liu had trembling eyes.

"Holy shit!"

"I was listening to Sinology, and suddenly it's about aliens."

"The thing is, the more he talks, the more sense it makes!"

He looked at the same information found on his tablet and the official certification...

His entire scalp felt numb!

As for the classmates beside him, they had long since wrapped themselves in small quilts, shivering and unable to speak.

After a long time.

The two animations in the livestream made a move.

Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes flickered; it took a long time for her to wake up from the corner of her worldview being torn apart.

Only, her voice was a bit shaky:

"Big brother, so the Greys really exist!"

"Then where are they now?"

"And now that the war is over and the world is at peace, those who survived should have learned a lesson and started rebuilding their homes, right?"

Xiao Yu's question also struck a chord with the viewers, teachers, and professors.

After all, the empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide!

The ending will eventually be a happy one!

It wasn't until Jiang Zhe's next series of words fell that everyone was completely dumbfounded.

"The people of the world..."

Looking at Xiao Yu's longing, expectant, and impatient eyes.

Jiang Zhe deliberately paused for over ten seconds.

The time was extremely long, enough for everyone to focus intently on hearing the truth!

"Are all dead!"

"Clatter!"

The tui bei tu in Xiao Yu's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Jiang Zhe's voice also vanished from her ears.

Her entire face instantly lost its color; this wasn't just shock, it was a chilling realization!

The viewers in the livestream were just like her.

No bullet comments, no gifts; for a long time, no one even dared to take a loud breath.

The hands of the three history teachers, who had just picked up their cups of goji berry tea, were suspended in mid-air, unable to lower.

The retired old professor's face was filled with even more astonishment.

The operators watching in the operations department were frozen, their eyes fixed on the computer screen of the livestream.

Everyone in the world is dead!

Those few words instantly shattered the viewers' understanding of [survival] and the [future].

After about thirty seconds, an unprecedented explosion of bullet comments erupted in the livestream.

"No, impossible!"

"Humanity cannot die out."

"Exactly, the tui bei tu said the end would definitely be peace!"

"You said the Greys descended to bring peace; how could they all die?"

"I don't believe it!"

...

Not just them, even the general viewers, veteran enthusiasts, and professional practitioners were shaking their heads.

They simply didn't believe that humanity was dead.

The logic didn't hold—even if the Three-Foot Child descended, then it should have ended.

The final result must be peace, not extinction!

After a long time.

Jiang Zhe gently tapped Xiao Yu, who was lost in shock, to wake her up, before asking a question in return.

"Xiao Yu, do you think it's impossible?"

"Impossible!"

Xiao Yu shook her head vigorously, then nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice.

Tonight's livestream content was too explosive!

What her big brother said was like a roller coaster, up and down; she almost got high blood pressure!

Jiang Zhe showed a faint smile and spoke earnestly:

"It is possible!"

"When a civilization reaches its end, it will inevitably attract the attention of cleaners or observers."

"The battle of the 56th image I mentioned is that signal, the clock for the arrival of a higher civilization."

"The flames of war will eventually be extinguished!"

"But don't naively think that this is the end of the civilization."

He paused for a moment, his gaze gradually deepening.

"The 58th image is a brief [Peace]."

"The Prophecy says: The great chaos is settled, the four barbarians submit; calling each other brothers, six or seven nations."

"The Ode says: The smoke of war is cleared, the sea has no waves; claiming titles of emperors and kings, unified once more."

"Yet there is a baleful star hidden in the northwest; the song of peace cannot be sung everywhere."

"The general meaning is: the great chaos was settled by the Three-Foot Child, then the four barbarians submitted, everyone was rewarded according to their merits, the world was divided, and a total of six or seven countries were established globally."

"Then it mentions the [Northwest]. Since this hexagram doesn't just refer to the domestic situation, it includes—Bear Country, Hatan, Girtan, Finland, and other places."

"In this 58th image, it only describes a brief peace!"

"It's not until the 59th image that the real truth comes!"

Having reached this point, Jiang Zhe's expression became solemn once again.

He said, word by word:

"Extinction!"
