The Last Sentinel

Jerry's voice echoed from the rooftop.

"【Holy Terra】, one of only two binary star civilizations in the 【Immortal Cinnabar】 carbon-based sequence!"

"Although we are not in the same dimension or the same dimension, we all originated from the single source of carbon in the Big Bang."

"Within this vast cosmic framework that categorizes life elements, whether you admit it or not, Terrans and Eurasians are truly the same in the eyes of extraterrestrials."

"Imagine a multi-dimensional carnival of life forms, with all sorts of bizarre-looking creatures gathered together, except for Aurora and Terra, who are humanoid carbon-based life forms. At that moment, you would deeply believe that we are truly the same kind of life, and that sense of identity would directly shatter your current stubborn, narrow-minded logic based on native planets!"

"Accept reality. This reality is easy to accept. It's like Pangu sheltered us, and all the successive chairmen knew about us and protected our existence. In fact, when the 1999 Treaty was signed, Lord Pangu didn't hand us over!"

"If we weren't part of the same sequence, could Lord Pangu have protected us for so long?"

"Not to mention Lord Hughes, and Mr. Zhao, the current Speaker of the Sixth Council; they have both received me!"

"We do not interfere in any matters concerning the Chinese race; we are brothers separated from you by the Milky Way."

Jerry's voice was captivating, every word ringing in my ears.

Ye Feng sat on the rooftop, looking at the gray Tokyo, and remained silent.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere, Brother Eighty chuckled and joked, "Boss, there's nothing unacceptable about this! It's like those rich guys in TV dramas suddenly finding their long-lost brothers in their old age! The universe is so big, having an alien brother isn't so bad!"

Jerry said, "Mr. Zhuge is right. Honestly, Pangu once conducted a comprehensive comparative experiment on my genetic data with that of Homo sapiens. The genetic similarity between our Holy Terra and your Great Xia is extremely high—even higher than the genetic similarity between you and those Indians! This shows that we are both successful species evolving towards a super-civilization! We are the most gifted species among carbon-based intelligent life!"

Whose alien brother, separated for many years, has brought a group of enemies to claim his home?

Ye Feng felt a sense of powerlessness, as if his efforts in the 1999 Star Wars campaign had been in vain.

To put it another way, all the successive chairmen and top leaders of the Human Alliance knew about them, were willing to retain them, and believed in them. As a member of the Human Alliance, one should theoretically obey the will of the strong.

The strong stand in a higher position and see further than oneself; obeying the will of the strong is the right choice.

Ye Feng glanced at Jerry. "So Warhammer 40K is real?"

Jerry gestured, "There are some artistic embellishments too! After all, if the true history of Warhammer 40 were written out, it wouldn't pass muster in your civilization. It's too cruel and too dark. Whether it's the Warp, the four evil gods, or even the Greenskins, it's all been beautified."

Brother Eighty said, "You wrote Warhammer 40?"

Jerry shook his head. "What are you thinking! I'm very busy! I'm the leader of the Holy Terra Merchant Ronin Guild. I'm busy with resource exchanges every day. I don't have time to write books. The one who writes books is a retired merchant ronin's assistant!"

Ye Feng smiled wryly, "Everyone says Western movies are straightforward, without any pretense. The Jaegers in *Pacific Rim* were real, the giant monsters in *Pacific Rim* were real, and now *Warhammer 40* is real too! This world is truly insane!"

Jerry laughed heartily. "There's nothing we can do. We're not Cinnabar. We can't understand the core of Cinnabar's civilization, just like you can't understand the core of our Terra! A little upside down is good, this universe is crazy after all! Nice to meet you, Sentinel! Please accept this little gift."

Jerry took out a black Rubik's Cube-shaped object and handed it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng stared at the black, ever-changing cube-shaped Rubik's Cube. "What is this?"

Jerry said, "The spatial storage device contains a very beautiful mechanical priest's robe! You'll love it."

Ye Feng was taken aback. "You know..."

Jerry said, "Yes, I watched the whole battle between you and the Four Divine Beasts. It was incredibly exciting. It's unbelievable that you completely subdued the Four Divine Beasts, which even Pangu couldn't defeat!"

"However, by using your blood to awaken the God of Myriad Machines, you are likely to lose yourself. The set of cardinal and mechanical priest robes that I am giving you, which are from the Mechanical God Cult of the Terra universe, can perfectly immunize you against the spying of mechanical life gods of the same dimension. You don't have to worry about being possessed and turning your false deception into a real sacrifice."

"You can don the red robe and boldly awaken the machine spirit; it'll be effective every time!"

This is something Ye Feng desperately needs.

Ye Feng took the Rubik's Cube. "Thanks."

"You're too kind!" Jerry said with a smile. "It's my honor to befriend, and even work with, a hero like the Sentinel. I hope you'll take care of my business dealings in the future!"

Ye Feng asked, "What kind of business?"

Jerry laughed and said, "This is quite complicated. It involves some business dealings in the dark matter world. Our business is shady! Moreover, I have many trading partners, such as the Trisolarans who once fought to the death with the Chinese civilization. We also have dealings with them."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "You do business with the Sabitians too?"

Jerry shook his head and said, "No, there is no trade between us. Of course, it's not because of hatred. There is no precedent in the rules of the traveling merchants that trade is interrupted because of hatred. I don't trade with the Sabitians purely because they are untrustworthy. They often buy on credit and never pay the balance. As a merchant, I cannot tolerate such an extremely bad breach of trust as the failure to pay the balance."

Ye Feng nodded, "That makes sense. I'm also very annoyed by people who break their promises."

Ye Feng twirled the storage cube in his hand, then asked himself, "Can I ask a question that's not on the topic? Why are the Sabitians hunting you down?"

The talkative Jerry paused, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In principle, I can't tell you this, but I think the Sentinel will probably succeed the Speaker in the future, so I'll tell you in advance!"

"This Sabitian, and even the countless civilizations across the myriad worlds behind the Sabitian, are hunting down Terra and China, all because of a prophecy!"

Ye Feng asked, "A prophecy? What prophecy?"

Jerry's expression turned serious, his tone slowed, and he looked up at the hazy sky. "Sentinel, have you heard of the [Third Calamity - Mechanical Frenzy]?"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Of course! The Third Calamity - Mechanical Frenzy once swept through countless dimensions, bringing endless calamities to them, and also spreading the concept of machinery, allowing the God of Myriad Machines to exist in countless planes of existence!"

Jerry said, "In the final moments before the disappearance of the Third Calamity, the Mechanical Frenzy, the last generation of the God of Machines, Okarach, released a final piece of code. This code is known throughout the myriad worlds as the Prophecy of the End. Okarach said that the myriad worlds would be destroyed in the Fourth Calamity, and that the Fourth Calamity is closely related to the Sixth Element Sequence."

"Later, this 'end prophecy' was simplified to 'end prophecy: the fourth catastrophe,' and the sixth element sequence just happens to be the carbon element sequence."

"This prophecy is interpreted as the rise of carbon-based life forms, which will lead to the fourth catastrophe and the destruction of all worlds."

"To prevent the emergence of the Fourth Calamity, it is the duty of all other sequence civilizations to kill all carbon-based life forms."

"From the Third Cataclysm to the present, carbon-based intelligent life civilizations have been annihilated one after another. Even the mighty Terra Empire has been continuously eroded over the past 40 years and is now teetering on the brink of collapse!"

"The Chinese civilization hid in a dead cosmic prison for so many years, but it was finally discovered and could not escape being wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt like crying but had no tears left.

[O'Carach] If it weren't for the prophecy, would carbon-based sequences be so hated? If carbon-based life weren't hated and persecuted, would there be a fourth catastrophe?

[Okarach] This prophecy has ironically led to the gathering of the fourth calamity.

Rather than saying that Okarach prophesied the fourth catastrophe.

Rather, it is more accurate to say that [Okarach] brought about the Fourth Calamity.
