272: Chapter 25 Entrustment

Looking at the eager eyes of the crowd, Wei Wei didn't know how to respond for a moment, and could only reply slowly after a while: "In short, the data generated by the experiment is perfect."

"The growth factor secreted by the mother only has a positive effect on the child during a specific period of pregnancy."

"This includes body formation, mental maturity, and so on..."

"However, once this period passes, if the individual continues to ingest the growth factor, it will have the opposite effect, causing a massive amount of damage."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Clearly, the data from the experiment was completely unconvincing to everyone. After all, the opponent at the moment was a terrifying existence that could easily swallow the entire universe.

However, these people also knew that right now, this was the only way they could try to test it.

After all, no matter what, it was much, much better than sitting idly by.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the hovering sickbed.

Goddess was struggling to stretch her neck and look out the porthole into space.

Fortunately, the sickbed sensed it immediately and made a slight mechanical sound.

The sickbed slowly rotated to a specific angle so that Goddess could easily view that giant celestial structure in space.

It was the scene of the Flesh and Blood Universe, tens of billions of light-years in size, being rapidly sucked in by Oblivion.

In fact, to prevent her, in her extremely weak state, from seeing this scene and remembering the day her own Solar System was swallowed,

everyone on the divine might had intentionally or unintentionally kept her away from places with large portholes.

Fortunately, Goddess just watched quietly and did not have an extreme reaction for the time being.

Wei Wei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

In the distance, Chu Xingyang was quietly watching Snow Sun on the sickbed.

The life of the former Goddess seemed to have reached its final moments; having become a mortal, for a period of time, she had been like a mine with exhausted resources.

Wei Wei's medical team had been using various means and methods to "mine" the "growth factor" from her.

Moreover, this physical weakness caused by being "mined" seemed to be something that even divine power could not restore.

Chu Xingyang thought for a moment; perhaps this was the price needed to stop Oblivion.

He didn't know if Snow Sun could hold on until the catalyst, the "growth factor," took effect.

For a moment, the entire bridge command room of the divine might fell into silence.

Everyone watched the scene of the Evil God Zhangyang's Flesh and Blood Universe being swallowed while silently paying attention to the former Goddess on the sickbed.

Suddenly, a weak voice that revealed sorrow and pleading came from the sickbed.

"Those 5,637... I entrust them to you!"

Chu Xingyang knew these words were meant for him, but for a moment, he was also a bit confused...

He wondered what those 5,637 were... what they could be.

At the same time, the others in the command room also looked puzzled.

Only the benevolent doctor Wei Wei reacted immediately, responding solemnly and firmly: "Don't worry, our Xingyang Civilization will protect them and allow them to build a new home and civilization in our Solar System!"

Only then did everyone understand in an instant.

5,637 was the total population of the Xueyang Civilization that had escaped from the mouth of Oblivion.

Goddess, with her meticulous care and protection,

had also accepted the Wandering Earth from her own universe.

Ultimately, within her Solar System, there was a Blue Star population of over twenty-five billion and an Earth population of over five billion.

But all of this, under the devastation of the Oblivion she had birthed,

had vanished in an instant.

If it hadn't been for Chu Xingyang and the people of the Xingyang Civilization lending a helping hand back then,

these 5,637 people probably wouldn't have become the final survivors.

Seemingly realizing that her time was short, long tears flowed from the corners of Goddess's eyes.

She choked out: "My 5,637 children, I entrust..."

Chu Xingyang had already stepped forward by this time and come to one side of the sickbed.

He nodded, comforting the Goddess who had become a mortal once again: "Yes, don't worry. I will protect them."

Having received the deity's promise,

Goddess's heart calmed down a lot.

Wei Wei, as if remembering something, stepped forward and added: "Your people have also been thinking of you."

"It's just that the parallel passage has only now become slightly free."

"It's not realistic for everyone to come over, but your finance minister, Yu Lan, is already on her way."

Goddess was covered in tears; in her extremely weak state, she couldn't even make a sound while crying.

She only murmured: "I clearly committed a monstrous crime, yet my children still care about me..."

Wei Wei reached out and carefully wiped the tears from her face: "I've told you, it was an unintentional act. Besides... no matter what, you are their loving mother!"

It took Goddess a long time to calm her emotions.

Turning to look at space, she asked slowly: "Those growth factors will definitely work, right?"

"I don't want... I don't want the tragedy of my universe to happen again in other parallel worlds."

No one nearby could answer.

Yu Lan originally wanted to give her a few words of comfort.

But after a moment of deep thought, she ultimately remained silent and turned her gaze to Chu Xingyang.

After a long while,

Chu Xingyang finally nodded slowly: "It will definitely be effective."

"Otherwise, no matter what, the moment Oblivion arrived, it would have prioritized attacking me, attacking our Milky Way Galaxy."

"After all, we escaped from its hands once before. This time, no matter what, it wouldn't let us escape again."

"But you've seen it too."

"It didn't pounce directly on me, but chose Chu Zhangyang's organic universe instead."

"This isn't probability, let alone a coincidence!"

"Rather... it's the catalyst in the organic Flesh and Blood Universe..."

"That is, those growth factors are indeed attracting Oblivion."

"It's just that Oblivion... hasn't realized it yet. Its power has made it far too arrogant!"

Hearing the deity say this,

Goddess finally showed a relieved smile, although the final result was still unknown.

But if there was an attraction, that at least meant it wasn't a completely useless and meaningless effort.

She struggled to lift her eyelids and, after several attempts, finally asked again: "Will we have to wait until Oblivion has completely swallowed the organic universe to see the final effect of the growth factor?"

"Then... when will it finish swallowing?"

Chu Xingyang pondered for a moment.

He responded with an uncertain tone: "Theoretically, as long as it ingests the growth factor, it will definitely be affected to some extent."

"But Oblivion is too powerful, so there is a high probability that we won't see any clues until it has swallowed Chu Zhangyang entirely!"

"It should be in about ten days. In ten days, Oblivion will have swallowed the entire organic universe clean!"

Listening to the deity's answer, Goddess's expression gradually dimmed.

"Ten more days... I... don't think I can hold on until then."

"But I believe... I believe the great deity will definitely stop this monster from hurting other universes again."

After saying this, she fainted from physical exhaustion.

Wei Wei hurriedly stepped forward to check her body carefully, and then gently started the hovering bed, heading toward the ward.
