223: Chapter 223 Leaving the Solar System

When Gao Yuan set out again, the Human Fleet had already returned to its former peak state, and its technology had even improved significantly.

Whether in terms of defense or offense, the warships were now incomparable to what they were before.

At this time, monitoring satellites still led the way, followed by warships, then large mechas, with the aerospace carrier in the center!

The rear configuration was the same as the front.

There was no going back to Earth anymore.

The massive fleet headed toward the Sun; from space, the Sun was just a dazzling spot of light.

Looking at the vast universe outside, a sense of loneliness welled up in Gao Yuan's heart.

In the vast universe, where was humanity's home?

Could he really make it out of the Solar System?

It would take another half a month to reach Mercury from here; during these two weeks, the fleet would need to traverse a hundred million kilometers.

Its top speed could exceed 100 kilometers per second!

...

Taking advantage of the flight time, Gao Yuan entered his mecha and opened the Space-Time Gate.

He wanted to see how the Future World was doing.

This time he entered into space as well; the coordinate difference between the two worlds no longer mattered in outer space.

When Gao Yuan appeared, he was also in deep space, far from Earth.

Looking back, he could see the Moon, Venus, and Mercury!

It was much more peaceful here than in the Real World, without the raging jupiter wind.

However, Gao Yuan saw that Earth was also desolate, covered only in ruins with no civilized cities left.

Gao Yuan remembered that Gao Gan had said he was going to Neptune.

But he was still very far from Neptune.

Normally, many spacecraft would be traveling between the major planets and Earth where Gao Yuan was, but now there was only silence.

Gao Qiu, where are they?

Gao Yuan felt a bit lost!

In the past, he would come here for help and support whenever he was in trouble, but now that he was here, there was no one.

He wondered how Gao Qiu and the others were doing.

After a moment of reflection, Gao Yuan returned to the Real World and continued his journey.

In the Future World, on Neptune, Gao Gan was very nervous.

In all his years of life, he had never been this nervous.

Gao Qiu had come from Pluto to Neptune; the inner Solar System had been almost completely destroyed.

The surviving humans were scattered across the cold regions far from the Sun.

Even though human technology in the Future World had reached a high level, the Advanced Civilization had only made a slight move, and they were already on the brink of extinction...

And extinction was only a matter of time.

"Gao Gan, hang in there... I must send you away! Otherwise, there will never be hope for humanity!"

Gao Gan lay on a machine, and one 'Gao Gan' after another walked inside!

Gao Gan's mind wavered between daze and collapse.

He had just regained a sliver of clarity, but his gaze toward Gao Qiu was still somewhat vacant.

"Father... what's happening to me?"

"You are becoming a Complete Being... your genes are being restored!"

"Who... are they?"

Gao Gan pointed at the people who looked exactly like him.

"They are all you!"

"..."

"To put it simply, they are all you from parallel worlds! We are three-dimensional beings, but our genetic origin comes from an Advanced Civilization of Four-dimensional being. To become a four-dimensional being, the genes must be completed! Using four-dimensional methods, I calculated the missing parts in your genetic segments. For every missing segment, I created a version of you. Now, these 100 versions of you are about to merge. Once successful, you will become a complete four-dimensional human! I will send you to the North Star System. As long as you are alive, humanity will not go extinct! Gao Yuan will find you, and you brothers... will surely lead humanity into deep space!"

Gao Gan was about to say something...

...when his face suddenly changed, and his expression began to contort.

Gao Qiu ignored it.

"Every fusion is a rebirth! If you can't endure it, you aren't qualified to become a Complete Being!"

Gao Qiu's face was full of determination.

Humanity...

As test subjects, they were destined for destruction, but he refused to accept it!

Now Gao Yuan was an exception, but with only Gao Yuan, there was still no guarantee. He had too little experience and needed an assistant! Gao Qiu had been making arrangements all these years; following ancient human principles, he needed to prepare four assistants for Gao Yuan.

Gao Gan... was the last one!

The failure rate of this method was too high; some people's minds collapsed during the very first fusion!

Others became idiots after the tenth fusion!

Why did Gao Qiu insist on fighting the Development General Administration for power? Because only by controlling all of humanity would he have the resources to build this genetic laboratory... and prepare the hardware facilities to the maximum extent to increase the success rate!

Gao Qiu had to send Gao Gan away before he died.

To make the final preparations for Gao Yuan.

Only then, after he unified the Solar System, would there be hope for survival.

Gao Gan was over a hundred years old...

...with a firm will and rich experience.

But ever since he came to Neptune, he had been lying here every day, half-asleep and dazed...

"Continue..."

Gao Qiu said.

At that moment, another Gao Gan entered from outside and began to merge with the Gao Gan in the machine.

"Sir, there are only three left. Monitoring shows that Dean Gao's mental state has reached its limit. Should we slow down?"

"No... we're out of time! We have one day at most!"

"Why?"

"I feel that 'they' have already arrived at Neptune! They won't leave any trace of civilization behind until we have completely vanished!"

"Sir, are we all going to die?"

"Yes, but as long as humanity achieves ultimate victory, we will all be resurrected! I've uploaded everyone's data onto a spacecraft and launched it into the Sun. As long as the Sun remains, there is hope for us!"

"Sir, will Dean Gao... make it through?"

The machine flickered, and Gao Gan's face was filled with pain.

Gao Qiu sat beside Gao Gan and grasped his hand. "Gao Gan, don't give up! Didn't you want to become a god when you were a child? Now you have the chance! If you just hold on, you can become a god!"

"Gao Gan, your younger brother still needs your help. Are you really inferior to him?"

...

Like waking from a long, drawn-out dream, Gao Gan awoke...

He opened his eyes and saw Gao Qiu sitting before him, a wide smile on his face.

"Father, what happened to me?"

"You succeeded..."

"Huh?"

"It's time for you to go! This place is no longer suitable for you!"

"Where am I going?"

"Leaving the Solar System!"

"How?"

Gao Gan asked.

Gao Qiu gave a smile. "Goodbye, son!"

With that, he pressed a button.

Gao Gan, along with the machine beneath him, sank into a shaft.

Before Gao Gan could react, he felt himself enter a spacecraft, which then rapidly departed from Neptune. At that moment, Pluto happened to be passing through Neptune's orbital region, and the spacecraft plunged straight into Pluto..."}],
