282: Chapter 35 The Crowded Solar System

Having received a flat refusal, Xie Miaomiao found it inappropriate to speak further for the people of Earth in this parallel world.

She left the divine might feeling disheartened.

While deeply worried about the Earth Civilization here, she also silently wished them well in her heart.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuhang had already embarked on his journey "home."

The Resistance Army's Grand Commander, Lin Han, had specifically gifted him two faster-than-light spaceships before his departure as a reward for his former subordinate.

The Earthlings, of course, accepted them very happily.

After all, the future space city project would require a sufficient amount of building materials.

And the single warship they started with would certainly not be enough.

Yu Keke's eyes sparkled, and her smile was exceptionally radiant: "This is great, especially with the two gifted by Grand Commander Lin."

"Once we return to the outskirts of the Solar System, the space city built from these three ships will surely be luxurious and vast enough."

"It will definitely be enough for us to multiply for several generations!"

"Our Earth Civilization will surely flourish and develop!"

The others immediately joined in the cheers.

Chu Yuhang smiled and gestured for everyone to calm down: "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. A space city made of three ships is perfectly enough to settle our generation."

"Even the next two or three generations will have no issues."

"As for the future, our descendants will find their own way."

"What we need to do right now is to pass on the Earth Civilization and cultivate a strong and wise next generation of Earthlings!"

"Great!"

"Great!"

...

The thirty-something people burst into earth-shattering cheers simultaneously.

At the same time, many shed tears, muttering to themselves: "After wandering for so many years, we have finally returned!"

"Solar System, we left you back then."

"Now, only the tiny Milky Way Galaxy remains in the entire universe!"

The thirty-eight remaining Earthlings hugged each other, praying silently in their hearts.

Chen Lanlan kept encouraging everyone: "It will be fine!"

"Everything will get better."

"From the Great Baptism of Chu Zhangyang to the pocket universe of today."

"Countless civilizations in this universe have perished in this catastrophe!"

"As for us, although Earth is gone, we are still here!"

"We are already much better off than those civilizations; wherever there are people, there is a home. Our Earth Civilization will surely restart!"

...

Soon, the three ships arrived at the edge of the Solar System.

Just like the last time they saw it, it was breathtakingly beautiful and magnificent.

The red giant star, with a diameter of two billion, had long since swallowed the orbit of Jupiter.

Because it was very close to Saturn and extremely bright.

This allowed the Saturns Rings to reflect exceptionally dazzling light, instantly becoming the most conspicuous landscape in the Solar System.

While everyone was admiring the magnificent space scenery, Chu Yuhang secretly turned on the scanner to observe this Solar System.

A moment later, he wore an expression of astonishment, then looked up and gazed out of the porthole.

After a long while, he slowly said: "This Solar System..."

"Is really far livelier than we expected!"

Hearing his words, everyone turned their heads curiously.

Suddenly, Chen Lanlan exclaimed: "Wow, so many spaceships, taking off from Uranus and flying towards the Saturns Rings!"

Yu Keke had clearly done her homework, and she slowly explained to everyone: "Because too many fleeing civilizations have run into the Milky Way Galaxy."

"Under such extreme crowding, naturally, many civilizations have come to the Solar System."

"Right now, seven civilizations are surviving on three planets!"

"And the ones flying from Uranus towards the Saturns Rings are one of them."

"They are most likely going on a pilgrimage to the sanctuary on the Saturns Rings, where the most beautiful and sacred sanctuary in this region of the universe is located!"

"The saintesses on the Saturns Rings are also the most beautiful existences in the surrounding universe!"

At this moment, among the thirty-eight Earthlings, there were naturally over a dozen males.

However, they were not interested in the description of "the most beautiful existences." Admittedly, among the hundreds of millions of civilizations active in the Milky Way Galaxy today.

There are naturally species that indeed fit the aesthetics of Earthlings in every aspect. But the probability is like finding a needle in a haystack; you need to have incredible luck to see one or two.

Most of the time, they encounter species that would startle or even disgust these Earth men.

And what is most frustrating is that they don't know if this is a special case for the human race. Their two genders seem to always have diverging perceptions of things.

Some species that women scream about as being "super cute" or "super beautiful" are perceived by men without a shred of aesthetic appeal.

Therefore, these dozen or so Earth men had no intention of going to the sanctuary on the Saturns Rings to pay homage to the most beautiful saintesses.

Chu Yuhang naturally didn't either; right now, he had more important things to arrange. That was the survival and continuation of humanity.

Although possessing three faster-than-light spaceships, it would be easy to build a large space city on a suitable orbit of the red giant star.

However, he was currently struggling with a question: before building the city, whether or not to first greet the other civilizations currently in the Solar System.

In Chu Yuhang's understanding, although Earthlings originated from the Solar System, they had long abandoned this homeland for far too long.

Now, those seven civilizations that had taken root here had instead surpassed them, becoming the true masters of this place.

Following common sense, building a space city in the territory of other civilizations seemed to require greeting them first, or even obtaining their consent.

However, after discussing for a while, these surviving Earthlings could not reach a definitive decision.

Chen Lanlan and a few other women insisted on communicating with the other side first. No matter what, for the long-term stability of the Earth Civilization that had survived the catastrophe, they should obtain the support and recognition of those seven civilizations beforehand.

However, the other males were not happy. They started shouting angrily one by one.

"The Solar System was originally our territory; we originated here. When our ancestors were thriving here and creating a brilliant civilization, where were these seven civilizations?"

"Therefore, we have absolutely no need to talk to these latecomers."

"We have come home! This is our homeland; we are building a space city here, do we really need the consent of those who occupy the magpie's nest?"

Amidst the loud shouting of nearly ten male companions, Chu Yuhang calmly said: "Stop arguing for now."

"Since that's the case, let's do both. The space city must be built, and communication with them must also be done!"

"Yu Keke, as our civilization representative, during the time the space city is being built, you should first make contact with these civilizations one by one."

"No matter what, we must also show our friendly attitude!"
