260: Chapter 260 Civilization is a Cycle (The Finale)

Gao Yuan dispatched warships and began the demilitarization of the Polaris Civilization.

Humanity had journeyed to the Galactic Center, broken through the Grand Unified Theory, and even witnessed a Star-Eating Beast. Now, they could inflict a dimensional strike against the Polaris Civilization from a subatomic particle level.

Soon, not a single aircraft from the Polaris Civilization could take flight...

Following that, Gao Yuan began taking control of all communication systems within the Polaris Civilization.

Gao Yuan began searching for 'Nuwa'!

After all, she was the progenitor of humanity.

Only after investigating did Gao Yuan realize that 'Nuwa' was not a personal name, but a professional title. In the Polaris Star Sector, there were no fewer than eighty or a hundred thousand people who had served as Nuwa!

So many Nuwas...

Gao Yuan was stunned.

Who could know which Nuwa was the progenitor of the Huaxia people?

These Nuwas were all female, with human heads and snake bodies.

Gao Yuan discussed it with Gao Gan. Since they all shared the same origin, they decided to keep all of them.

A total of 89,123 Nuwas were brought to New Earth.

As soon as these Nuwas arrived, they were 'remodeled'!

Their snake tails were split down the middle, turning into pairs of legs!

Nearly ninety thousand women... arrived on New Earth.

Once Gao Yuan was certain no one had been missed,

he began the three-dimensionalization of these planets. Simultaneously, he used the gravity of a neutron star to adjust the position of Polaris's companion star, artificially intervening to project a three-dimensional star here once again!

Gao Yuan showed mercy to these 'Nuwas' and allowed them to become the new residents of New Earth...

After all, with only himself and Gao Gan there,

it was far too lonely.

Now with tens of thousands of women, it simply added a bit of fun to their lives.

...

In the command center, Gao Yuan activated the neutron cannon for the first time. However, the neutron cannon did not fire neutron bombs, but 'Gan-particle bombs'! These Gan-particle bombs would bombard the ganons that were originally arranged in a plane, causing them to scatter into a line...

In this way, the planets would be three-dimensionalized!

Then, they would split into countless parallel worlds!

When the time came, Gao Yuan and Gao Gan could travel between them as they pleased.

This was much more interesting than leading humanity to find a way to survive back then.

When the main star and companion star of the Polaris Star Sector aligned in a straight line, a nebula gradually took shape two hundred light-years away... and then transformed into a star!

Gao Yuan looked at that star with deep emotion. He had witnessed the birth of the sun with his own eyes; who could have imagined such a thing?

Now, what he needed to do was move all the planets inhabited by the three-dimensionalized Polaris people to the Solar System!

He arranged them according to their orbits. Some planets were extremely hot, some were constantly bombarded by meteors, and some were perpetually frozen...

To recreate the former glory of the Solar System,

Gao Yuan dragged several planets from the outer interstellar space and smashed them. The larger pieces became moons for other planets, while the smaller ones gradually formed an Asteroid Belt!

This kind of game was far superior to wearing a gaming helmet.

Gao Gan stood before Gao Yuan...

"Do you feel like a god right now?"

"Aren't you one too?"

"I have a suggestion. We can use cataclysms and the blockade of basic science to make them return to the primitive era... and then you can play the role of the savior. Wouldn't that be more interesting?"

"That's true... Why don't you do it?"

"Me? I've found those Nuwas to be quite fun... I'm going to find suitable planets, drag them back, and place them in the Polaris Star Sector. From now on, this will be our civilization! Our descendants will all have the surname Gao!"

Gao Gan gave a wretched smile.

It was a look Gao Yuan had never seen before.

"Brother, let's split those Nuwas, half for each of us..."

Gao Yuan was startled. Tens of thousands of them—half for each? Gao Gan, can you handle that?

"No, take them all... wait, leave a hundred for me! You can have the rest!"

"Don't be polite, you pick first..."

"It doesn't matter!"

"Of course it does. Do you think our descendants will meet in the universe in the future and fight each other to the death?"

"Who knows? I can't worry about all that!"

"That's true. Brother, you enjoy yourself. I'm going to have some fun too..."

...

The Polaris people who entered the New Solar System experienced a sudden upheaval. First was the drastic change in environment. Those on planets within the habitable zone were okay; though life was difficult, they could at least survive.

But those on other planets were not so lucky...

The environments were extremely harsh, and all high-level technology was locked! They either had to die or find a way to change themselves.

Gao Yuan watched these Polaris people from the sidelines. Perhaps they had once watched Earth like this, and perhaps the cataclysms on Earth had even been of their making.

On the major planets within the New Solar System, people were constantly dying, yet people were also constantly being born.

Cataclysms were everywhere...

Decades later...

A generation had passed, and no one remembered the Polaris Civilization anymore.

This new generation was born thinking that life was naturally this bitter, and that just staying alive was already quite an achievement...

They had to evade wild beasts, survive natural disasters, and fill their bellies.

Watching them return step by step to a primitive society,

Gao Yuan felt that if Gao Qiu were alive to see this... he would probably feel at peace.

He hadn't directly exterminated the Polaris Civilization, but had given them a slim chance of survival.

This could be considered repayment for their grace in nurturing humanity.

In different parallel worlds, Gao Yuan set different rates of time flow to push the Polaris people into different stages.

Time flew by!

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years had passed...

In the New Solar System, only two planets were now habitable. The conditions on the other planets were too harsh. The Polaris people had developed modern science and began to look at the world with open eyes...

They discovered that in the universe, the Polaris people were alone, for they saw no signs of any other civilization.

The scientists of the Polaris people proposed various hypotheses and theories.

The 'Great Filter Theory', the 'Farmer Theory', the 'Target Theory', and so on...

In the legends of the Polaris people, they were created by a two-legged 'God'.

That God was called 'Gao Qiu'!

Gao Qiu was the progenitor of the Polaris people.

No matter the ethnicity or culture, they all had theories about 'Gao Qiu' creating humans.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan felt that Gao Qiu could now rest in peace.

The original Solar System was gone, but he had built a new one. Here, Gao Qiu had become the progenitor of all Polaris people.

Civilization is a cycle.

Before, they had kept humans like livestock; now, Gao Yuan kept them the same way.

When Gao Yuan withdrew his gaze from the Solar System...

he realized that on New Earth, there were now hundreds of thousands of people.

These new people all had the surname Gao.

Those born early could still have two-character names. For those born later, all the Han characters had been used up, so they could only take three-character names!

Gao Yuan looked at Gao Gan...

His expression was complex.

"You really are quite capable..."

After saying this, Gao Yuan suddenly felt this scene was very familiar. Once the three-character names were used up, there would be four-character names, then five-character names!

Gao Gan came from the Future World, and now on New Earth, he had built a world where one's status could be known just by looking at their name.

As for himself...

He came from Earth, and now on the third planet of the Solar System... he had discovered a space-time node!

A Polaris person named Yuan Gao, dragging a snake tail, returned to his old home and discovered that Space-Time Gate leading to the Future World!

...

Civilization is a cycle, and a new cycle has begun once more!

Thanks to all the readers who have accompanied Old Tang. My skill is limited, and as I wrote, I drifted away from my original intention!

First, I would like to apologize to all the readers! This book had a long hiatus in the middle because, as I wrote further, I felt I couldn't handle the plot. But I felt I owed it to everyone, so I decided to come back and continue filling the holes. Now it's barely finished. Thanks again to the old and new readers for your company! I hope I can write better and better in the future!
