The Last Sentinel

Inside the captain's conference room, the lights were dim, and the bigwigs appeared silently.

Unlike the previous meeting of all senior members of the Human Alliance chaired by Hughes, this time only senior members of the Eastern faction were present.

"Sentry report!"

"Please come in!"

Ye Feng pushed open the door, and what came into view were two rows of 3D projections of bigwigs. They stood up and applauded.

Although the hand formed by the light and shadow could not produce a crisp clapping sound, the clapping sound still resonated in Ye Feng's heart.

[The Great Wall Watch] [The Wolf-Sealing Mountain] [Martial Arts Breaking the Border] [Divine Capital] [Magic City] [Imperial Capital] [Antarctica] [Arctic] [The Far Side of the Moon]... The powerful leaders of the various Southern Heavenly Gates applauded in unison, without any superfluous words, only approving glances.

Ye Feng saluted each of the bigwigs present, not daring to be negligent.

"Come on, sit down! Everyone's waiting for you to start the meeting!"

Gouchen, with his long, silver-white hair, waved to Ye Feng.

As soon as Ye Feng sat down, Kuafu raised an eyebrow and whispered, "Kid, you're really something! You led the Kunpeng straight to Nemo's execution ground! The last person to do this was that brute Zhu Rong. It seems like every generation has its own geniuses, and each generation is more reckless than the last. Zhu Rong went alone back then, but you led a whole bunch of people in a spaceship to the execution ground—you were just short of blowing the judge's head off!"

Ye Feng said in a low voice, "Boss, I don't want to be so high-profile! But I can't help it, Zhao..."

Gou Chen said, "With your S-level intelligence, can't you see that Zhao Donglai's act is a ruse?"

Ye Feng was taken aback. "A self-inflicted injury ruse?"

Gou Chen said, "Let me tell you a secret: Zhao Donglai's martial arts skills are extremely high. He's ranked number one in the East, below the three great hero-level figures!"

Ye Feng stared in disbelief. "Is that so?"

Gou Chen said, "Do you think [Great Wall Watch] is just bored and has nothing better to do than take him on as their successor? It's only because this kid's martial arts talent is exceptionally heaven-defying. As long as Zhao Donglai wants to leave, no one can stop him! Bullet guns are like tickling him! With those few hundred people at the execution ground, trying to kill Zhao Donglai is simply a pipe dream!"

Ye Feng sighed, "No wonder the Southern Heavenly Gate didn't react at all to Zhao Donglai being kidnapped."

Kuafu said, "Only an idiot like Hughes would do something like this. A bunch of weaklings kidnapping a martial arts master who's pretending to be a coward—even a fool could tell Zhao Donglai would dominate the scene!"

Gou Chen lowered his voice and said, "Actually, compared to Zhao Donglai's martial arts skills, his acting skills in pretending to be innocent are even more outrageous. He's clearly invincible in martial arts, but he pretends to be weak and helpless every day. You have to admit, among the younger generation, Zhao Donglai is the most cunning! If you work for Zhao Donglai, you'd better be more careful in the future! Don't let him use you as a pawn every day!"

"Ahem!"

A cough interrupted the whispers below.

The leader of the [Great Wall Watchers], a capable martial arts master with white hair as white as steel needles, looked around and said, "Little Zhao, let's begin!"

Zhao Donglai nodded and then turned on the projection screen behind him.

On the screen, the starry sky is azure, the Milky Way is dazzling, and a deep, magnetic male voice resonates in your ears.

"Human beings' understanding of themselves is itself an exploration of the universe."

"This is not a metaphorical embellishment; it is a statement of fact."

"From a physical science perspective, you and I are both children of a dead planet deep in the universe. We came to this blue planet by chance and settled down here. We do not belong to this planet; we come from the depths of the universe."

"This is not wild talk, nor is it a hypothesis; it is a scientific fact."

"A young planet like Earth, which is only four billion years old, cannot produce heavy elements. The iron in our bodies comes from supernova explosions, the zinc in our blood comes from dust clouds ejected into the universe after two neutron star collisions, the trace amount of copper requires witnessing the death of a white dwarf, and even the most insignificant cobalt comes from the remnants of black holes that have dissipated billions of light-years away."

"So, comrades, you need to understand one thing: when humanity looks up at the universe, it is never to escape from our planet, but to return home."

"We have never been native to this planet, nor will we be imprisoned by it. Our future lies in the stars and the sea."

"From the time humans descended from the tree branches to the struggle for supremacy among the six ancient humans, and then to Homo sapiens driving out Neanderthals and standing at the top of the food chain 40,000 years ago, a long period of evolution has taken place."

"From the brutal elimination process of humankind over 30,000 years to the emergence of the Yu and Tang dynasties in the 10,000-year history of China, the connection between humankind and the universe has never been interrupted."

"This is recorded from the Yu and Tang Dynasties, Xia and Shang Dynasties, Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period and later dynasties. Each dynasty also set up institutions such as the Imperial Observatory to be responsible for communicating with the outer universe. Among them are many secret human organizations in the deep world similar to our Human Alliance, such as Sanxingdui, Penglai, and Baiyujing."

"But to talk about real conflicts and disputes with extraterrestrial civilizations, we have to start from the first time humans left Earth."

"On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin was sent into space, becoming the first human in history to enter space. The signal was interrupted for three minutes, and no one knows what Gagarin encountered or saw during that time. The Soviet Union imposed a news blackout on this and did not notify the Beacon."

"On July 20, 1969, Armstrong became the first Homo sapiens to set foot on the moon. Upon landing, he discovered that there were unknown and mysterious creatures on the ground. The creatures stared at Armstrong and warned him. Armstrong's signal was interrupted for several minutes, and the originally prepared declaration of the United States' sovereignty over the moon was temporarily changed by Armstrong to a peace declaration."

"This declaration was less for humanity and more for the aliens around us. Armstrong stated that humanity had no ill intentions and wanted to eliminate alien hostility and blockade."

"However, this is obviously useless. Aliens don't believe in humans, just as humans don't believe in aliens."

"After the Cold War, deep space technology developed rapidly, and humans began to clash with extraterrestrials in the shallow universe. Through war, they captured extraterrestrial technology and used many of these technologies in human society, which promoted breakthroughs in the basic physical rules of Homo sapiens, and human civilization entered a period of rapid development."

"Soon, the aliens noticed this. The higher-dimensional civilization among them, the Trisolarans, launched protons at humanity for the first time. These protons, also known as the God particles, were an attempt to block humanity's basic physics and shut down its technological path."

"Humanity thus slowed down its breakthroughs in physical technology and shifted its focus to biological research. During this period, the West launched the 'Perfect Soldier' ​​project, the Soviet Union launched the 'Ultimate Weapon' project, and the Great Xia launched the 'Wanderer Project'."

"Unlike the Soviet Union and the Beacon's local specialty product projects on Earth, the Great Xia's 'Wanderer Project' is more forward-looking."

"The Great Xia side believes that conflict between aliens and Earth is unavoidable, and given the current scarcity of resources on Earth, the probability of human extinction is almost 100%. Rather than fighting amongst themselves to advance human evolution, they should consider how to continue humanity if it is wiped out."

"The research experts of the Great Xia have discovered that when humans clash with extraterrestrial civilizations, the locked state of the fundamental physical rules will be broken, and the God particle will temporarily fail. At this time, a gap will appear in the cosmic prison. By taking advantage of this brief opportunity to send the seeds of human powerhouses into the outer realms, humans can reproduce in the outer heavens. In this way, even if the blue planet is destroyed, the human civilization will not be wiped out, and the bloodline will still be preserved."

"After the launch of the 'Wanderers' Project,' the most important thing is how to implement it."

"At that time, human technology was completely incapable of sending one's own individual to different dimensions."

"But just as the progress of the 'Wanderer Project' was being discussed, the Star Wars broke out. The extradimensional civilization led by the Sabbitians launched a surprise attack on the Centaurus Trisolaran Nebula. Centaurus quickly fell, and the Trisolaran civilization became a vassal civilization of the Sabbitians. The western gate of the Milky Way was opened, and the solar system was in grave danger. The 'Wanderer Project' was declared bankrupt."

"Then, I appeared."

"My name is Pangu. I am both a hero and a sinner to humankind."

"I led humanity in the fight against extraterrestrial heretics."

"I signed the humiliating 1999 Treaty, voluntarily relinquishing the use of force..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized that the deep, hoarse, and unbearable male voice belonged to [Pangu]!

The hero who unearthed the Sanxingdui civilization in Neanderthal history and assembled a super space fleet in three months to fight against the invaders from Sabit!

What shocked Ye Feng even more was that he had previously thought the transmigrators were a coincidence, but now he realized that it was an officially designated "Wanderer Project," which was later abandoned.

Perhaps even the officials themselves didn't know that Project Wanderer had succeeded. Compared to the Soviet Union's Ultimate Weapon and the Beacon's Perfect Warrior, Project Wanderer could be said to have blossomed across countless worlds.

So, could the chat group owner, Sentinel, the only administrator of the Transcending Club, be the creator of the "Wanderer Project"?

In the chat group, the big shots were unusually active.

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Damn it, I knew it! How could the higher-ups not know about time travel? It turns out it was all orchestrated by them!

Wuji Demon Lord: Most of us traveled through time after 1999. In other words, the "Wanderer Plan" was actually implemented after the defeat in 1999. The Great Xia Dynasty felt hopeless and simply launched this plan.

Immortal God of Magic: This is a move that is a desperate gamble. No one knows if this path will succeed. Only when utterly defeated and in despair will this move be executed.

Great Love Immortal King: Unfortunately, the [Wanderer Project] has been abandoned by the official team, and there are almost no records of its follow-up.

Dead Silence White King: There's no record of it; the official team just gave up. But people are still carrying it out privately, like the Sentinels! Otherwise, where would all these people in our chat group come from!

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Sigh, that old Sentinel never let a word slip by when he was alive, he was a real riddle-maker. Now that he's dead, he's off easy, leaving behind a mess that everyone's staring at.

Eight-Winged Archangel: What I'm curious about now is, how did the Sentinels, or rather, the group that carried out the "Wanderer Project" with the Sentinels, manage to fool the aliens into helping them realize the "Wanderer Project"? They even managed to sneak in their own chat groups within the "Wanderer Project"!
