Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"But they were only a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even a million years too early... Time is meaningless, Gray Serpent—"

"They are ultimately just mortals wandering in the material universe, perhaps able to glimpse the majesty of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers in the multiverse, but that's all... Human civilization, on the other hand, now stands far above them—"

“We...we are heading towards the end of a mortal civilization—ascension.”

“We have reached a height that no other civilization has ever reached. Human civilization now stands at the very edge of divinity, and the infinite power originating from the imaginary space is now within our grasp.”

"And at that time—even time will lose its meaning for human civilization, and every single thread of the universe will be at our mercy..."

"And how can mortal beings of all worlds defy the gods?"

"They, these so-called celestial beings, are merely accelerating their own civilization's path to destruction..."

........

"...Truly, an amazing future—"

After a long silence, Gray Serpent gave a reply, his tone filled with surprise and admiration, as well as curiosity and anticipation for the future...

"Excuse me... It's been a long time, Ms. Snow."

A voice interrupted Gray Serpent's reverie; another visitor pushed open the door and greeted the room's occupant.

"Long time no see, Mr. Walter Young—it seems you've brought some interesting news...?"

After thinking about it, I decided not to set it up.

*Let's see if we can add more chapters in the remaining days of this month to finish the main story (and then I'll go write the side stories).

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 521 Trouble, Trouble, and More Trouble!

“That’s right, but it seems Mr. Gray Serpent has already brought you another message.”

Yang nodded, glancing warily at the man beside him who looked utterly dangerous.

"Anti-Entropy has also observed traces of that alien at its observatory in the Americas—but it seems you've already made your decision, Miss Snow, so I won't go into too much detail here. Besides, you and Dr. Einstein must have already discussed it, right?"

"Yes."

The blonde girl nodded, acknowledging the man's question.

"So, Mr. Yang, what is the other message you brought this time?"

"Dr. Einstein asked me to inform you... everything is ready, and the glorious covenant can set sail at any time."

"Wow, that goes by so fast... Well... there's just one last thing left—"

The girl nodded to Yang and looked towards the distant east, where a towering pagoda was undergoing its final inspection.

"...One last thing?"

Following the girl's gaze, Yang only saw a sea of ​​clouds, and the man's words carried a hint of doubt...

"The tower has been built... It is humanity's path to heaven, and no one can shake it anymore—"

"The Tower of Babel...? Miss Snow, you mean—"

A hint of uncertainty crept into Yang and Gray Snake's voices, triggered by certain words in the girl's words...

"Of course, it's the space elevator on Coral Island... Now it seems the time is right—"

Just as the girl finished speaking, a communication was established in the bishop's office—

"Speak, Amber, what is it?"

On the other end of the communication was Miss Amber, who could be considered a senior bishop for two generations. She looked at the bishop in front of her with a serious expression.

"It's a message from Coral Island, Your Excellency. The current council of Coral Island wishes to see you."

"Take it, I think I know what he's going to say."

Snow straightened his bishop's robes and waved to Yang, who was standing next to him, signaling him to come to the screen as well.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Bishop Snow Apocalypse of Destiny, and Leader Walter Yang of Anti-Entropy."

The old man on the other end of the communication line was slightly taken aback when he saw Yang, but he quickly composed himself and greeted the two people in front of him.

"On behalf of humanity and the people of Coral Island, I would like to thank Destiny and Anti-Entropy for their tremendous contributions and sacrifices in the human history, and extend an invitation to the cutting ceremony."

"This is what we should do, Your Excellency."

Snow and Yang nodded, signaling the old man to continue.

"Ahem, we hope that you two gentlemen can attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Coral Island Space Elevator. With the help of the Destiny and Anti-Entropy organizations, this milestone in human history and a wonder of modern civilization—the Space Elevator—has just completed its acceptance testing."

"The cutting ceremony will take place at noon three days from now, and will be held in accordance with the wishes of all the residents of Coral Island—who hope that the two leaders will give the tower a real name at that time."

"It would be an honor to name that space elevator—please inform the local residents of Coral Island and all attendees that Destiny and Anti-Entropy will be there on time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

Snow and Yang nodded and accepted the invitation from the old man before them.

"Then I won't disturb you two any longer. It seems you two have important matters to discuss."

The old man nodded and made a farewell gesture to the two of them.

"Goodbye, Mr. Director."

"Goodbye, Ms. Snow and Mr. Yang."

......

"That tower isn't just a simple space elevator, is it?"

After finishing his conversation with the old man, Yang looked at the blonde girl beside him...

“Yes, that’s a 'tree'..

"Tree?"

Yang and Gray Snake were stunned for a moment, not realizing what Snow meant by the tree.

"What tree..."

Yang, being rather impatient, blurted out his question directly—

"...What kind of 'tree' do you think could be related to me, Mr. Yang?"

Snow gave amusement, and asked the two men in front of him with a mocking tone...

"Wait...you wouldn't be talking about..., would you?"

Yang, reminded by Snow, immediately realized what was happening and showed an incredulous expression.

"It's the Tree of Imaginary Numbers... or rather, that tall tower is the vessel through which the Tree of Imaginary Numbers is projected onto reality..."

"It is also one of the most important parts of this plan."

"Snow?"

"?"

"Has anyone ever told you... that the amount of information you throw out every time is enough to overload someone's brain?"

"No, I don't team up with pig-nosed guys unless they're really good at fighting—"

"And judging from your nonchalant expression, Yang, you're probably used to it by now—anyway, according to Dr. Einstein..."

"Mr. Yang, you are someone who can stand up on your back even on the verge of life and death, and in a coffin..."

"You..."

The man clearly looked speechless...

After racking his brains for a long time and failing to find any rebuttal, Yang tacitly admitted to his own reality of doing sit-ups and chose to change the subject.

"They want us to name that tower—have you thought of anything yet? I'm not good at these roundabout things..."

"...Ah, a name, a name full of meaning."

The blonde girl fell into a brief moment of thought—

"You're not planning to just call it the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, are you? We can understand what that is, but they can't..."

"Who would name a space elevator after half of their father...? Are they just bored?"

Miss Snow rolled her eyes at Walter Young, paused, and then uttered a name—

"Let's call it 'Yuktrasil'... in a sense, it also metaphorically represents what it truly represents..."

"Yuktrasil...? The World Tree from Norse mythology, that's a pretty good name..."

Yang nodded, then thought of another question—

"Let's get back to that warship—Miss Snow, are you going to decide who the crew of the Glorious Covenant are?"

"Crew members of the Glorious Covenant? There's no need for that... You're the ones piloting that ship, not me—I'll just find you a gunner with decent aim, and the rest of you can assign tasks yourselves..."

"By the way, don't bother with the other ordinary crew members—you won't need them even if you wanted to. What those ordinary people are going to experience is a metamorphosis and upgrade, like a pupa transforming into a butterfly... an elevation of the very essence of life."

"So—they can't help you in the battle."

Good evening, Makka Pakka

I need votes!

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 522 The Curtain Falls (Third Update)

"A snake..."

After seeing Yang off as a visitor and arranging a meeting a few days later, Snow turned his gaze once again to the gray snake standing to the side...

"Your Excellency Snow..."

The man looked at the blonde girl sitting in the bishop's seat, deep in thought, with some confusion.

"How is she...no, how is my Divine Blood Project going—?"

"...So you really are one with that Lord Imotek."

"Indeed—snake, just choose whatever name you like..."

The girl lowered her head, her eyes closed in deep thought... her fingers lightly tapped the armrest of her chair, producing a crisp sound in the quiet office...

"Your Majesty, the plan is progressing very smoothly... especially in Asia, Europe, and Oceania, where the influence of the Church of Destiny is extremely high. Using the Church of Destiny's own name has made this matter encounter virtually no obstacles..."
