179: Chapter 178 Earth's Elegy

The expansion speed of the Zhangyang Civilization shocked countless civilizations, and even the Wandering Earth, drifting in space, heard rumors of it.

But what all Earth Humans did not expect was that the legendary Civilization of Gods would actually send an envoy.

As the spaceship landed, the arrogant Tu Kulei squeezed out a fake smile: "Greetings, Earth Humans!"

Although he did not know the other party's intention, the General Commander of the Earth United Government still treated this Missionary Officer with great hospitality.

At the banquet, the General Commander of the Earth fleet, Chu Yuhang, stared at the envoy with vigilance and asked in a deep voice: "We have long heard of your civilization's surging power. But I do not know why you have come specifically to our wandering planet."

Tu Kulei cursed in his heart: 'I don't know why the Great God would take a fancy to you stray dogs either.'

But he still waved his hand with a fake smile: "Hahaha, in the words of you Earth Humans, seeing is believing, hearing is doubting."

"With the Zhangyang God above, the reason why the great deity has so many civilizations willing to follow, and why trillions upon trillions of living beings devoutly convert."

"It relies on kindness and grace, cleansing every corner of the universe."

Chu Yuhang scoffed: "Enough! We are not completely unaware of your civilization's actions. Please state the purpose of your visit directly."

Tu Kulei clenched his fists tightly, hating this Earth Human who dared to look down on him.

But the matters entrusted by the Great God had to be done.

So he had to swallow his anger and say: "The Great God has compassion for all living beings, and right now you are not far from the Three-Spiral System. After learning that the Earth has been wandering for so long."

"The Great God specially sent me to sincerely invite you to join our Habitable Zone! Enjoy the bright sunshine!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The dozens of high-ranking officials accompanying him all stood up.

Their faces rippled with incomparable excitement.

A star! A Habitable Zone! Four seasons of reincarnation, bright sunshine!

This was what countless Earth Humans dreamed of.

The highest official of the United Government could barely control the expression on his face.

Only Chu Yuhang's expression was colder than before, and he said lightly: "And the price? There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world!"

Tu Kulei, while imagining the scene of tearing him into thousands of pieces, said with a cheeky smile: "Of course there is, we want to conscript 500,000 young and strong people from Earth to join the God Universe Army for three years of service."

"Upon completion of the three years, those who are willing to stay will be promoted. The treatment during this period will also be exceptionally generous!"

Everyone was stunned to hear this.

This price... could almost be said to be completely painless.

After all, the Earth United Government's troops already had 1.5 million people.

Sending 500,000 out of 2 billion Earth Humans was not a difficult task.

The highest official wished he could jump for joy.

Chu Yuhang remained silent.

Everything has its price; having drifted in the universe for so many years, this had always been his philosophy.

So he never believed that pies would fall from the sky.

Who would have thought that the envoy's next sentence almost dispelled everyone's doubts.

Tu Kulei smiled in his eyes: "Of course, the great deity never forces anyone to make any choices."

"Even if the great deity's original intention is filled with great kindness."

"So the matter of recruiting young and strong people is not urgent right now. You can stay in our Habitable Zone for half a month first. If you feel comfortable, we can conduct the selection afterwards."

"If you are dissatisfied, you can leave our Solar System. We will never force you to stay!"

Hearing this, those Earth high-ranking officials simply couldn't believe their ears.

What? Can we even try it out?

Where else could one find such good conditions? Having wandered in the vast universe for so long, they had never seen such a good thing.

The highest official immediately nodded and bowed impatiently: "We are willing, we are willing to bathe in the glory of the great deity."

"However, we are a democratic government, and many things cannot be decided by a few people. At that time... just in case..."

"I mean just in case, if most Earth Humans clamor to leave your Solar System, I Hope the great deity will be magnanimous!"

The Earth's highest official felt his words were very clever, as they had the opportunity to integrate into the Habitable Zone while leaving a way out for all Earth Humans.

What he couldn't imagine was that this was a road of no return leading to total extinction!

Soon, both sides reached an agreement.

The Wandering Earth also entered the Solar System at high speed under the divine power of the Zhangyang God.

It formed a binary planet system with the Blue Star.

Looking at the blue sky and bathing in the bright sunshine, all Earth Humans ran to the surface in ecstasy.

Singing and dancing in extreme excitement!

In this joyous atmosphere where the whole city was empty, only Chu Yuhang and a few others could not be happy.

They looked at everything in front of them with heavy hearts and anxiety.

The highest official had to comfort this overly cautious General Commander: "Little Chu, don't look like everyone owes you money all day long."

"I know you have your concerns, thinking that this Zhangyang Civilization has designs on us."

"However, they have already occupied an area of millions of light-years; it would be easy for them to deal with our tiny Earth. Why go to such trouble to invite us in?"

"So I think this should just be the pure kindness of this civilization!"

Chu Yuhang was like a dynamite stick being lit; he almost jumped up: "Pure kindness? If you believe in such a thing, I really doubt what you relied on to become the highest official of the United Government."

"Is it relying on unparalleled naivety and stupidity? Is there such a thing as pure kindness?"

"Zhangyang Civilization spans millions of light-years and has everything! Would they lack our 500,000 young and strong people?"

"They definitely have designs! But what they are plotting is definitely not that blockhead of yours that can only be used as a decoration!"

The highest official's face turned red and white from being scolded, so he threw out a "stubborn" and left angrily.

Soon a week passed.

Earth Humans were still immersed in this sunny world and couldn't extricate themselves.

They not only built the Zhangyang God Temple but even erected a monument for the highest official.

To thank him for reaching an agreement with the Civilization of Gods and leading Earth Humans to a perfect place like heaven.

Chu Yuhang ran to the information hub and found "Hope", which looked like a large iron box.

He asked coldly: "Your mission is to escort humanity and bring Hope! Can even you not calculate their plot?"

The artificial intelligence made a "buzzing" sound of current, and after a long while replied: "Logical deduction shows that we have no solution in this situation."

"In the face of absolute power, we have no room for maneuver. Even if we didn't agree to come here at the beginning, they would have easily brought the entire Earth to this Solar System!"

Chu Yuhang was silent.

After a long while, he said sadly: "I don't plan to wait for the half-month trial period to expire. While they are still pretending to be lenient, I want to leave here immediately!"

"Hope's" voice also revealed some sadness and loneliness: "General Commander, forgive me for not being able to accompany you this time. My underlying framework forces me to stay with most Earth Humans!"

"But I will sincerely bless you and wish you a smooth journey."

"Perhaps the old saying that not all eggs should be put in one basket is still correct today!"

Chu Yuhang nodded and turned to leave resolutely.

But the subsequent process of recruiting followers was extremely difficult.

Everyone thought the General Commander was crazy to choose to leave when Earth had finally found a habitat.

Even in the military, the soldiers who usually admired him didn't respond much to his call.

General Elisa pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Can you not leave? We are so happy now, I want you to be able to live happily here."

"There is a sun here, there is sunshine. We don't have to stay in the dark space and the stuffy underground city!"

"No!" Chu Yuhang refused decisively: "This is a trap! We must leave!"

Elisa burst into tears.

Her slender fingers gripped the ring in her palm tighter. This was something she had specially prepared to propose to her direct superior, Chu Yuhang, in a few days.

But after struggling internally for a long time, she still chose to stay on Earth, to stay in this Habitable Zone.

Perhaps beautiful sunshine and the cycle of four seasons are easier to make people sink than love!

After all, this is everything that all Earth Humans have been longing for.

Three days later, Chu Yuhang only found a few dozen followers.

The group boarded a star-class spaceship and flew out of Earth, leaving the Solar System.

Not long after, they entered a wormhole and left the territory of the Zhangyang Civilization.

And the elegy for the extinction of Earth Humans finally sounded its prelude.
