198: Chapter 198 Gao Yuan is in his complete form

"Grand Marshal, this won't do!"

Gao Qiu naturally knew what Gao Yuan meant.

"Gao Yuan, it must be done! It's also your only chance!"

"Why?"

"I suspect that your entry into the Advanced Civilization's world gave them an idea: to integrate civilizations from different parallel worlds to accelerate growth. If you don't annex other civilizations, you will be annexed! Annexing them offers a glimmer of hope, but not doing so means death!"

"Why can't I coexist peacefully with them? That way, no one has to die!"

Gao Yuan felt that this possibility still existed.

As long as he could communicate with them, everyone could just slack off together!

Gao Qiu smiled.

"Development cannot be stopped; the root of civilization is expansion! Even if you all agreed to a manual halt, wouldn't the people below be dissatisfied? Wouldn't the Advanced Civilization make an example of someone?"

Gao Yuan fell into deep thought. "Grand Marshal, what you're saying is all speculation! Now, I have an even stranger question. If everything, including your world and the world I went to, are parallel worlds, why didn't they place those civilizations here with you? That way, you could have wiped out the other civilizations without suspense and smoothly increased the civilization factor..."

"Probably because our footprints already span the Solar System, whereas in the world you went to, humans were actually confined to Earth before you arrived. Other planets were effectively unclaimed. If I'm not mistaken, the civilizations in your world are also confined to their respective planets!"

Gao Yuan frowned. "That's not right. The Mercury and Venus Allied Fleet could attack Earth so quickly, which means they have the capability to colonize other planets in the Solar System!"

Gao Qiu said calmly, "Have you considered that the reason your world has a fleet is because of the Spatial Nodes between these worlds? What if other civilizations have them too?"

*Hiss...*

A cold sweat broke out on Gao Yuan's back.

Indeed, if he had entered this parallel world a thousand years in the future for no apparent reason, wouldn't other civilizations be doing the same?

So...

Even his entry into a thousand years in the future was actually orchestrated!

If that was truly the case, Gao Yuan felt completely despondent!

No matter how much he struggled, he was like Sun Wukong in the palm of the Tathagata.

If the four-dimensional world is composed of countless three-dimensional worlds, and the flow of time is different, does the North Pole Snake-person Civilization really have such great power?

Are they really doing this just to create a perfect Aerobic Intelligent Being and then assist them in entering the Galactic Center?

Gao Yuan felt that what he had heard in the North Star System might not be the truth at all!

Gao Qiu patted Gao Yuan's shoulder. "Don't overthink it! Until you have the power to resist, it's best to follow the script. In fact, isn't our journey up to this point also a script?"

Gao Qiu said.

"Grand Marshal, is there something else you haven't told me?"

Gao Qiu hesitated for a moment.

He laughed. "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes!"

"Fine. What do you think is reality? What is virtual?"

Gao Yuan was a bit dazed upon hearing this question. What did the Grand Marshal mean?

"What?"

"Nothing. Listen to me: deal with the other civilizations in the Solar System first, and then you'll understand what I meant by that question!"

Gao Yuan always felt something was strange.

But he couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

Perhaps the information he encountered today was just too impactful.

"Grand Marshal... should I head back now? Your Project Shell-break will be stopped, right?"

"Of course, I'll listen to you. The news you brought is very useful! By the way, you probably need some military technology. I'll compile it for you now, and you can take it with you later!"

Gao Yuan nodded.

After Gao Yuan left.

Gao Qiu, however, still did not order the cessation of the Antimatter Engine's construction.

Gao Gan was somewhat puzzled. "Father, do you think there really are countless three-dimensional parallel worlds?"

"Of course there are!"

"Then does that mean we will never become a Four-Dimensional Civilization?"

Gao Qiu looked at the sky and remained silent, but he sighed inwardly. "A Four-Dimensional Civilization? That term isn't right; it should be Four-dimensional beings!"

"Humans..."

"Forget it. I'm not the protagonist anyway, but my son... Gao Yuan is the protagonist!"

"Gao Gan, if I let you live in a Advanced Civilization's world, would you be willing?"

"What? But we are different, aren't we?"

"I'm saying *if*. I can transform you into a being like those of a Advanced Civilization. Would you want to go, or stay?"

Gao Gan didn't understand what Gao Qiu meant.

"Father... if you can do that, why not transform everyone?"

Gao Qiu smiled bitterly. "I don't have that capability! But transforming one or two people is possible. How about this: hand over your work to your deputy, Zhou Ruo. I will send you to the world of the Advanced Civilization!"

Gao Gan now found his father somewhat incomprehensible. "If I leave, what about you?"

"It's fine... I have many other sons!"

"Huh?"

Gao Qiu called out.

Hundreds of 'Gao Gans' walked in.

"Father, did you call for me?"

A group of Gao Gans said.

Gao Gan was stunned. Are these... robots?

"These are all you from parallel worlds!"

Gao Qiu said flatly.

"Father..."

Gao Gan was panicking now. He didn't know how to describe his feelings; he never imagined that one day he would see countless real versions of himself.

"Now, I will merge ninety-nine of you and then transform you. Only then can you enter the Advanced Civilization's world! Otherwise, you will never be able to enter it!"

Gao Gan was confused. "Hasn't Gao Yuan already been there?"

"Gao Yuan is different from you. He... is four-dimensional, while you are three-dimensional! He will never die!"

...

Gao Yuan returned to Qinjing in the Real World! Then, he heard the Air Defense Sirens wailing!

Another enemy attack.

Gao Yuan immediately contacted his warships; he was going to set up defenses on the Moon.

To be attacked at home was a disgrace. Even if everyone was using cheat codes, he wouldn't admit defeat.

Just as Gao Yuan's warships left Earth and entered low Earth orbit, he saw dozens of Triangular Warships above Earth continuously launching various attacks.

Shells fired from Electromagnetic Cannons whistled through the atmosphere, creating lines of fire! The trajectories of Air Defense Missiles continuously intercepted these lines of fire, but some shells still hit the ground. The ultra-high-speed shells caused small earthquakes upon impact.

Gao Yuan's eyes turned red with rage.

This was a slap in his face.

Now that he was back, command of the fleet returned directly to his hands.

Gao Yuan led the fleet into battle. Although he wasn't sure which faction they belonged to, since they had attacked Earth, he had to fight back.

At the Guanghan Palace Base on the Moon, warship production resumed at full capacity after Gao Yuan's return.

The number of warships now exceeded the previous count. Under Gao Yuan's command, a large fleet took off from the Moon and began assisting in Earth's defense.

Over a hundred warships began battling in low Earth orbit.
