After listening to the woman's description, Lin confidently brought out the information he knew in his mind: "It is now generally believed that the collapse is a civilization screening mechanism. Only after the collapse can a civilization be considered to have left its childhood."

“Childhood?” The woman was puzzled by the word. The disaster that almost wiped out mankind seemed as normal as some kind of natural phenomenon in Lin’s mouth, and it was just a civilized childhood?

"What's that look in your eyes?" Lin asked in confusion, "Don't you think that Honkai is a horrific disaster that only applies to your Earth? Ordinary Honkai can only destroy civilization at most. Any high-ranking military official in the Third Earth where I live can wash the surface clean, not to mention that a ship's main gun can vaporize a galaxy with a single shot."

"...Are you a fighting race from some comic book?" Lin's words sounded like a fabricated fantasy. Surface cleansing? Evaporating galaxies?

"It's just one of the most common cosmic civilizations." Lin shook his finger. "Anyway, I can help you survive the collapse. There are two solutions: survival and departure. It depends on which one you need... or which one you can accept."

The woman held her breath, waiting for Lin's next words. She had thought that humanity had reached its end, but she had not expected that there would be an unexpected turn of events.

"The first."

Lin's voice suddenly turned cold, as if he had lowered his temperature to the coldness of the universe that could freeze living things into ice sculptures. He narrated indifferently, "I will select qualified humans and let you hide in the facilities I have built. I will let you survive the baptism of the collapse on the planet, and give you some appropriate technological assistance. You can reach a level of civilization that can overcome the collapse within a hundred years."

"Of course, I will be the one to select the 'qualified' humans. The remaining people will be the ones to go through this baptism on behalf of all humans."

"Wait a moment!"

The black-haired woman stopped Lin loudly before he could finish speaking, and Lin's eyes seemed to say "What's the matter with you?", and that matter-of-fact look made the black-haired woman shudder.

"Why some people? Can't you just..."

"I'm not a generous donor. I said at the beginning that I would help you survive the collapse instead of letting everyone survive." Lin interrupted her indifferently, staring at her eyes that were unable to execute, and continued, "Secondly, I will transform all humans into a consciousness that does not need a body. There are similar biological civilizations in the universe, so I think it is not difficult to do it, and then take you away from the earth."

"At that time, you will no longer be 'human beings', but new creatures, and no longer different individuals."

"To put it more bluntly...you have become the same person."

"Stay or leave, it's your choice."

"Note, it's 'you', the leader of mankind."

May Day Special: Cosmic Drifting 3

The galaxy is so vast that even if the Interstellar Alliance expands its territory for seven hundred cosmic eras, it will still be far from the end. If we limit our vision to one planet or one race, it will undoubtedly be a narrow-minded stupidity.

Lin casually threw the mud he picked up into the container. He wanted to collect the minerals of this earth for geological survey. This earth had attracted enough of his attention. Although he said that it was normal for similar planets to exist in the universe, he actually lied.

That information projection theory is not accurate. Frankly speaking, it is just the nonsense of an academic fraudster that he heard from the news of the Interstellar Alliance when he was bored. That person has now been used as ghost material on major websites.

But when a person's strength is strong enough, even a sneeze can cause an earthquake. This sentence is more suitable for use between civilizations. Even if he told these humans the liar's words verbatim, they would have to believe what Lin said after seeing things beyond common sense.

"Sure enough... no matter how you look at it, this Earth is highly similar to the mother planet in the records."

Lin looked around, and no one could hear him muttering to himself.

From his few days of observation, he found that this Earth was highly consistent with the Earth where his ancestors came from, both in terms of environment and humanities. There was almost no difference in language grammar, except that after leaving Earth, people modified a small part of the grammar in order to adapt to the exchanges with cosmic civilizations.

This similarity is really weird, and he has been sending rescue signals to the Interstellar Alliance in recent days, but all the messages have fallen on deaf ears and no response has been received. He even suspects that it is not because of a bad signal, but that the long-distance communication company has been bombed.

The most important thing is... in fact, the earth of his ancestors also experienced collapse.

After defeating Honkai, his ancestors had the technological level to reach the universe, and they officially took the first step towards the vast galaxy.

All these similarities couldn't help but arouse his doubts.

"Let's go when she makes a decision." Lin wiped the dirt off his hands, sighed and walked in the direction he came from, "Let's go find the teacher to take a look at this planet when we have time..."

In fact, it is very simple for Lin to solve the Honkai Impact 3 on this planet. Honkai Impact 3 will only change and evolve according to the technological level of civilization. Judging from the reports from various planets, even the Honkai Impact 3 with the highest technological level before leaving the planet is only a planetary-level disaster.

But Lin did not want to directly help the people of this planet. He had no relatives or friends with them and could only be considered to have passed by them. At most, they had only a meal together. Civilizations were born and died every moment in the universe. How could the survival of a small earth possibly hinder his steps?

However, he also has his considerations.

……

"Have you thought about it? My time is limited."

Lin walked slowly back to the shelter and saw the black-haired woman standing at the door of the shelter.

Lin encountered many collapsed creatures along the way. This was the first time he saw the collapse of civilization up close. However, their structures ultimately disappointed him. They were not creatures worthy of surprise, but normal species that were still confined to a certain form.

However, this can be considered as an increase in knowledge, and Lin will surely see more during his future journey through the universe.

He liked the look of the black-haired woman from the moment they met. She was resolute but kind. Only someone like her could lead mankind to live on a planet riddled with disasters.

Therefore, it is expected what kind of choice a person with such eyes will make.

"…Humans won't accept any help from you. You can leave now."

Lin whistled and said frivolously, "I knew it..."

Should he then praise the black-haired woman for not giving up any human principle? No, no, no, Lin Ke does not have that kind of lofty morality. One is one, two is two. No matter what choice the woman makes, he will not be surprised. He will only do what he says.

"We will defeat the collapse on our own and rebuild our home in this desolate place." The black-haired woman seemed to have come here specifically to explain her choice to Lin. After saying that, she turned around and prepared to return to the shelter.

Lin stretched himself and began to call his spaceship. He raised his lip to the woman and said, "Even if you will perish next?"

“Even if we perish, it has nothing to do with an alien like you.” The woman’s tone showed no sign of wavering. She was born to be a leader. “I want to protect humans, not anything else.”

Whether it is leaving most people behind to linger on, or being transformed into another form, it is no longer human.

Just like this guy Lin looks exactly like humans, but thousands of years after his ancestors entered the universe, they have become another kind of cosmic creature that is very different.

"Do you think I have no empathy? Are all creatures in the universe so cold-blooded?" Lin stared at the woman who stopped walking meaningfully, as if he could see through her thoughts. "The two solutions I gave you are both effective and proven ways to defeat Honkai on other planets."

Lin did not lie this time. The two plans were the methods used by the two races before they left their home planets. However, what he did not say was that he alone could stay on Earth and eliminate the Honkai. For him, it was just a piece of cake, a tiny stop in his long life.

"So I said, that's the way of other races, I want to win using human methods."

"How do we win? Do you have a plan?"

"..."

"Isn't this just suicide?" Lin laughed sarcastically. The spaceship had already flown from above their heads to behind him and landed silently. "It's just stupid to act impulsively without a countermeasure."

"By the way, the 'human' you mentioned is just you, right? Let's not talk about the transformation plan, I think there will be many people who will support the shelter plan."

"Is all you want to do is divide humanity?"

"I am not interested in the intrigues of you lowly races, which have less than a million of them left. This is just a friendly reminder."

He is not yet merciful enough to save an entire race from disaster. The demise and birth of civilizations are the laws of the universe. At most, he can only provide some proven solutions.

But if there is a chance, Lin will come back here to observe their fate when he remembers it during his journey.

For him, whose life span is almost infinite, it is just a gap for a nap.

Lin said nothing, walked onto the spaceship, and without even glancing at the crumbling shelter, flew off into the universe.

May Day Special: Cosmic Drifting 4

Time flies. It has been fifty cosmic years since Lin left the third Earth. After repairing the life support device, there has been no more malfunctions. Lin has also successfully traveled countless light years in the universe like a fish in water.

As for that strange Earth, he had long forgotten about it after reporting its coordinates to the Interstellar Alliance. The bizarre journey in the universe captured all his attention.

Unknowingly, a human from the Third Earth has gained some fame in the universe, and the Interstellar Alliance has begun to entrust him with some tasks. As long as the price is right and it is convenient, he doesn't mind maintaining peace in the universe.

Today, it is no exception.

"Quantum disruption?"

When Lin heard this tricky name, he instantly changed from lying down to sitting up.

Quantum disruption is actually an abbreviation, but because the full name is too long, most people use this abbreviation to refer to it.

Quantum disturbance is one of the mysterious phenomena in the universe. There are too many unsolved mysteries in the universe, and most of them have not yet figured out their origins. Quantum disturbance is one of them.

To say it is quantum is just to echo the saying "When in doubt, use quantum mechanics". It is considered to be related to the quantum mechanics of the universe. What it is exactly is still to be discussed. It mainly manifests itself as a kind of "chaotic interweaving of time and space".

Basically you can encounter anything. In a sense, it is like a time machine that can travel through time and space.

The long-distance communication from the Interstellar Alliance continued, "Yes, we hope that you can investigate the quantum disturbance area. You don't need to conduct an in-depth investigation, just conduct an external investigation and send us a report. The reward will be high."

"……All right."

Lin took on the task.

The remuneration is calculated based on the higher one. If they are really just going there for investigation, it is impossible to give such a high remuneration. People who know Lin know that he does as much work as he is paid. If he can give so much, it means that the quantum disturbance phenomenon there may not be that simple.

But Lin still decided to go and take a look, not because of the reward, but because he was interested in everything, especially this rare cosmic phenomenon.

So he headed towards the coordinates.

……

"Is this near here..."

Lin came to this peaceful dark domain and did not find the so-called quantum disturbance phenomenon. However, in fact, quantum disturbance does not have any prominent manifestation. Only special detectors can detect the fluctuations of space-time folding.

But it is rare to have nothing to observe...

"Huh? That is?"

At this moment, Lin saw a planet that caught his attention.

Compared with many lifeless gas planets, that planet is so dazzling and beautiful, and the large area of ​​blue is like a shining gem.

"Strange... How could there be such a habitable planet in this environment... That's not right." Lin reacted halfway through his words. Since it was impossible for a planet with such an ecological environment to appear nearby, it meant that the main body of the quantum disturbance phenomenon was this water planet.

Lin prepared to reply to the Interstellar Alliance, but found that his communications had been cut off.

This sudden interruption in communication instantly reminded Lin of something that happened half a cosmic era ago.

As my memory was unearthed, the appearance of the water star before my eyes became more and more familiar.

……

"Huh... I haven't been here for fifty years, and the air is still so fresh."

Lin got off the spaceship and stood on the abandoned roof, as if he had returned to the scene when he was standing on this planet fifty years ago.

It is difficult to determine the range of time and space travel caused by quantum disturbance. He can only infer the time on Earth by the buildings and plants under his feet.

This kind of desolation...it seems like it happened after he left.

Lin found out the coordinates of the shelter and flew to the shelter on a spaceship.

Along the way, he saw that everything was full of vitality after the apocalypse, except for humans, not even the Honkai beasts. It seemed that humans on Earth had been completely wiped out by the Honkai.

Following the traces of memory, I arrived at the entrance of the shelter. The dilapidated appearance and the towering tree growing there showed that this place had been abandoned long ago.

Did that woman lead humanity to fight against Honkai until the end of her life...

"……Um?"

Just as Lin was sighing, the life detector detected a humanoid creature. He rubbed his eyes in confusion to make sure he was not mistaken, then looked towards the shelter in front of him.

Are there humans here?

He noticed then that although the shelter looked run-down, there was very little dust.

Human survivors?

Lin raised his eyebrows, pushed open the door, and the lush green scene in front of him made him hold his breath.

The narrow space that was originally full of dirt and weapons was now filled with brightly colored plants, which were absorbing the sunlight and growing freely in the cracks that had been opened.

"who is it?"

An old voice made Lin shift his gaze from the plants to the person standing nearby with his waist hunched.

A head of gray hair and wrinkled skin, this phenomenon called human aging, Lin hasn't seen it for a long time, but it didn't stop him from recognizing that this was an old man.

It was an old woman holding a watering can. She wore a pair of gray glasses and stared blankly at Lin who had walked in. She trembled as if struck by lightning.

"Hello, old man."

Although Lin may not be younger than her, this does not prevent him from being humble in identifying appearance.

"alien?"

Lin was stunned.

"You...you are that woman?"

Some kind of sensitive intuition enabled Lin to instantly recognize that this was the black-haired woman who had led mankind to fight against the collapse.

"It's me..." The old woman nodded slowly and showed a kind smile.

She looked nothing like the cold-as-ice woman she had been before. Her sharp eyes had completely disappeared, and now she seemed to be just an elderly woman.

"This is really an unexpected reunion." Lin looked her up and down, and couldn't match her with the woman in his memory. "How long has it been since I left?"
