227: Chapter 227 Many Children, Many Blessings

Gao Yuan now seemed to understand why Venus and Mercury had been able to unite and attack him from the very beginning.

With someone like the Fire King, who would surrender to whoever came along, it was certainly easy to form an alliance.

Gao Yuan now had only one doubt left.

And that was whether accepting the Fire King's surrender counted as him unifying the Solar System.

He looked at the Fire King.

He asked,

"Even if I am a Complete Being, what use is that?"

"Of course it's useful. We actually belong to the same species, the same civilization. The essence of civilization is expansion and occupation; only you can lead us out of the Solar System!"

Leaving the Solar System...

Gao Yuan heard this phrase again; previously, only Gao Qiu had spoken to him like this.

Why were the civilizations in the Solar System so obsessed with leaving it?

"If we can understand the Four-Dimensional Space Law and achieve Space Jump, wouldn't we also be able to leave the Solar System?"

The Fire King shook his head.

"It's useless. even if we perform a Space Jump, we still won't be able to leave, because..."

"Because of what?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Because the Solar System itself is a manufactured space, not a natural one. The laws here are not compatible with the outside world, so... no matter how we develop, it's impossible to leave. But you are different; you are a four-dimensional being!"

"Then how can we leave the Solar System? Why do we even want to leave?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"How to leave, I don't know! But only by leaving the Solar System can we become a truly independent Solar System civilization! Otherwise, we are just playthings!"

Gao Yuan didn't know why the Fire King knew so much while he knew nothing.

"Aren't we all test subjects?"

"No, no, no. Other ordinary people are merely playthings; only you are a test subject! Even I, at most, count as a candidate for a test subject!"

Gao Yuan was stunned.

"Only me?"

"What does that mean?"

This even subverted Gao Yuan's perception; he had always believed that all of humanity was a test subject, but he hadn't expected it to be only himself.

"Three-dimensional beings are not qualified to be test subjects! A test subject must have value!"

Gao Yuan's mind received a massive shock. He didn't know if the Fire King's words were true or false, but thinking about it, the Fire King had no reason to deceive him...

What could he gain by lying?

"Then what do you think I should do now?"

"Unify the Solar System first. By then, you should receive some revelations. However, I have a suspicion!"

"What suspicion?"

"You can father a large number of children. You are a Complete Being. Even if your children aren't Complete Beings, they should be able to become Semi-Complete Beings like me. When the time comes, your children should be able to give you great assistance!"

Children?

Gao Yuan was stunned...

"Yes, you should have many children; it will benefit you! A man like you certainly doesn't lack women... Have them, have many of them. The future you will thank the hardworking you of the present!"

Uh...

Gao Yuan was speechless.

Hardworking at fathering children?

This sounded a bit improper, yet the Fire King spoke with absolute seriousness.

This made Gao Yuan feel too embarrassed to ask further.

He thought to himself, why not give it a try? Lin Mei, Bai Moyu, Mo Yun—they should all be fine!

Afterward, the Fire King was very straightforward, directly handing over control of the Venusian fleet.

However, the Venusian fleet was much smaller in scale than the Human Fleet.

Gao Yuan was afraid these Venusians weren't reliable. After all, this had gone too smoothly.

So he had the Venusian fleet take the lead.

Subsequently, the Gold-Earth United Fleet began to charge toward the outer reaches of the Solar System...

First was the Saturn sector.

Along the way, Gao Yuan recalled the Fire King's suggestion countless times. He thought that since the journey through the stars was long, why not try to have a child?

Gao Yuan found Lin Mei.

Lin Mei was currently on aerospace carrier No. 3. Gao Yuan's arrival caused a stir throughout the entire carrier.

Each aerospace carrier was like a super-city, housing tens of millions or even over a hundred million people. It was like a large nation. Most humans, just like on Earth, entered the kyushu xiaoyao zhi every day to open their minds, passing stages or creating things...

Some opened shops, some engaged in production, and many others did research!

As the former design director of Black Fish Technology, Lin Mei was a pivotal figure on aerospace carrier No. 3.

Upon hearing that Gao Yuan had arrived...

She immediately cast aside her work and came to welcome him.

She hadn't seen Gao Yuan for a long time. The strong career woman others saw instantly turned into a fangirl.

"Brother Yuan..."

"Xiao Mei! Long time no see..."

"Brother Yuan, why are you here?"

"I missed you!"

Gao Yuan did not hide the desire in his heart at all, and Lin Mei's face instantly turned red.

Gao Yuan pulled her into an embrace. "Come, let's go to your place!"

"Mhm..."

Gao Yuan whispered in Lin Mei's ear, "I want a child..."

"Ah?"

"Are you unwilling?"

"I'm willing..."

Lin Mei continuously catered to Gao Yuan.

Ever since Gao Yuan learned he was a Complete Being—a god—he acted entirely as he pleased.

After they were satisfied, Gao Yuan stroked Lin Mei's hair.

"Xiao Mei, I'm under a lot of pressure. I don't know where the future of humanity lies!"

Gao Yuan now felt as if everyone was an ant. The current chaos within the Solar System was merely a struggle between different anthills, while he... was the only flying ant among all the ants!

In the eyes of other ants, the world was two-dimensional. Because he hadn't known he had wings before, he had always been crawling on the ground as well.

Now he knew he had wings, yet he was trapped inside the anthill and didn't know how to fly.

Gao Qiu, the Fire King, and the others all told him that only he could lead humanity out of the Solar System—which was to say, out of this anthill that trapped him.

But he was very confused. How was he supposed to get out?

"Brother Yuan, you're putting too much pressure on yourself! In everything, just do your best! Man proposes, God disposes! Back when we started Black Fish Technology, did you ever think you would lead humanity out of Earth?"

Gao Yuan was taken aback...

It was indeed true; he had known nothing back then.

He had been complacent just entering the Future World.

Possessing products that surpassed the era, he had been high-spirited.

But now, even though he was clearly stronger than ever before...

Why had he become so prone to worrying about gains and losses instead?

Besides, even if he failed, so what? If you die, you die; if you don't, you live forever!

"Xiao Mei, it's still you..."

Gao Yuan... let it go. So he went to find Bai Moyu as well. Two rounds of sowing seeds made Gao Yuan relax a great deal.

He returned to his flagship once more.

The Fire King was in his office.

"Gao Yuan, come look. We'll be at the Jupiter Sector soon!"

"Old Fire, tell me, what would happen if we just walked directly out of the Solar System?"

The Fire King paused for a moment. "Who knows? But I suspect that once we're out, we won't even know how to move. We won't be able to breathe or act; we'll be trapped in Four-dimensional Space!"
