Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 187: Good Fortune

The Earth Empire, the mother world, treated Zhou Yuan much better than the Origin World. Zhou Yuan had never privately owned such a luxurious manor, fifty kilometers in length and width.

In addition to various natural landscapes and turrets, the luxurious manor is managed by a number of security robots, combat aircraft, intelligent machines, artificial intelligence, and a small number of Kerons, who are responsible for security, transportation, entertainment, and management.

After Zhou Yuan and his two companions presented the "Crystal Card" that Chu Xiaolu had given them and their identities at the entrance of the manor, the security robot and service robot led them together on a little bee spaceship towards the tall, palatial building.

After the butler, Gaia, a virtual holographic assistant, introduced the manor, Zhou Yuan and his companions entered their large room. The spacious, soft bed captivated them, and they continued their passionate encounter from the hibernation awakening center. The two beauties, panting and sweating profusely from Zhou Yuan's thrusts, fully expressed their pent-up desire, trembling uncontrollably. They lingered on the bed until nightfall. After dinner and a short rest, Zhou Yuan continued his assault, leaving Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu utterly exhausted and limp. Zhou Yuan thought of nothing else, indulging in the tender intimacy and releasing his wildness and frenzy.

After the passion subsided, the three of them couldn't fall asleep in bed, with Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu leaning on either side of Zhou Yuan.

"Big brother, let's have a child."

"Lulu, we must break this virtual world. Having children is a burden; look how miserable the children of operations and maintenance personnel are."

Is it easy to break through this virtual universe?

"In any case, Earth's human technology has developed to a level similar to that of my Earth Empire in the Origin World. I think they can go out and explore. We are still in a small world, while the outside world is vast, with medium and large worlds. As for breaking through this virtual universe, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. At least Earth's human beings should give it a try."

"Uncle, we're off tomorrow and the day after. What are we going to do? Are we going to stay in bed all the time?"

"We have a long life ahead of us. Tomorrow we'll explore this planet, the day after tomorrow we'll visit our grand estate, and the day after that we can get some rest early, how about that?"

"Hmm, not bad. Let's get some rest early the night after tomorrow. We have a celebration and banquet to attend next Monday."

"okay."

The three of them then chatted on and on about useless nonsense and everyday matters. They were probably tired, and one after another they fell asleep.

Early Saturday morning, the Little Bee spaceship was already waiting at the palace gate. Zhou Yuan and his two companions boarded the ship and began their romantic journey on this planet.

This blue planet, New Earth, was already the political, economic, and cultural center of the empire. Skyscrapers, floating gardens, primeval forests, oceans, grasslands, and beaches—all were breathtakingly beautiful. Zhou Yuan only then realized that the natural beauty of his family's grand estate was actually laid out according to the scenery of New Earth. Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu were glad they had come out today; if they had explored their own home first and then visited New Earth, they probably wouldn't have felt the same sense of novelty and excitement.

Of course, the only drawback of this new Earth is that there are too many flying vehicles. Whenever humans see the Little Bee spaceship, they greet and salute it, and the Little Bee is thoroughly enjoying the sense of honor of being the Earth Empire's Saint's vehicle, Airborne One.

In the morning, they explored the entire New Earth, and in the afternoon, they chose six or seven scenic spots to enjoy. They also visited a relatively large Buddhist temple. As soon as Zhou Yuan, Pan Na, and Chu Xiaolu arrived at the temple entrance, the devout believers immediately knelt down in worship upon seeing Zhou Yuan. The temple staff led the believers out in droves, kneeling on the steps.

"Everyone, please stand up." Zhou Yuan saw that many of the believers were very old and couldn't bear to see them kneeling for so long. So all the kneeling people felt a strong force supporting them on their shoulders, and their bodies stood up involuntarily. They all knew that the saint had used his superpower.

The worshippers stood bowing on both sides of the steps to welcome Zhou Yuan and his companions into the temple. The abbot led the way, guiding them into the temple. Inside, there were three golden statues of Zhou Yuan, with Panna and Chu Xiaolu on either side. Panna and Chu Xiaolu found it rather strange that humans had included Zhou Yuan's two wives in the statues.

The chanting of sutras within the temple resounded through the sky: "...Strive diligently to cultivate virtue, treat all with respect, be revered by all, teach with equality, have compassion for the poor and elderly, rescue and nurture the needy, constantly use scriptures and images to encourage people to serve, perform all kinds of meritorious deeds, be kind and benevolent, do not harm others, sacrifice oneself to help others, not begrudge oneself, practice forbearance and benevolence..."

The little bee remained perched on Zhou Yuan's head, seemingly very curious about the scriptures, but after searching the entire super database, it still couldn't understand their meaning.

However, the little bee remembered these scriptures and kept muttering them as Zhou Yuan and the others left the temple. Panna wished she could shut its little mouth.

The little bee transformed into a little bee spaceship, vanishing in the blink of an eye under the gaze of thousands, while the believers kowtowed to send off the saint.

Zhou Yuan readily accepted this idea of ​​sage worship and the act of humanity paying homage to him. If humanity lacked a faith and the nourishment of spiritual inspiration, it would descend into chaos when faced with a major crisis, just as those super soldiers would rather die than live a life of dishonor. "Give me liberty or give me death" is the super soldiers' belief.

After the Milky Way mysteriously went out and disappeared, Zhou Yuan shed a tear and realized what it was like to fight against "Heaven". Although he was puzzled as to why only the five planets of Tian Shen remained in the Milky Way, he knew that he and humanity might not be so lucky in this virtual universe. At that moment, Zhou Yuan's heart underwent a strong change and turning point. He vowed to break through the cage of this virtual universe and uncover the truth of this mother world. "If you want to destroy Heaven, you must first go mad yourself".

Zhou Yuan knew that breaking through the "cage" would not be easy. Just like in the Source World, he destroyed the sun, broke through the solar system's "light speed barrier," and led humanity to fight and advance triumphantly. In the end, what he broke through was a simulated virtual world. After breaking through the net of the Source World, he fell into the net of the Mother World. And what about the world outside the Mother World? Is it real or simulated?

On Sunday morning, Zhou Yuan and his two companions took a stroll around their own estate. The estate's beauty was a miniature replica of the most famous scenic spots on this planet. Zhou Yuan felt a little ashamed of the sheer size of the estate, but knowing that Earthlings had no shortage of planets, he didn't mind.

On Sunday afternoon, Zhou Yuan and his two companions went to a large shopping mall built in imitation of the original Xiong Jing Dongfang Plaza, which was named after the original. This Xiong Jing Dongfang Plaza was more than ten times larger than the original one. Due to the use of small teleportation portals and spaceship shrinking technology, it saved the space occupied by the huge spaceships in the past.

This online marketplace was created for human entertainment and leisure. However, if the goal is simply shopping, there's no need to go out; shopping from home is much more convenient. For example, through virtual shopping, buyers enter a virtual shopping world to experience and compare goods. If satisfied, they select items, make a prepayment, and the goods are delivered directly to them via a small portal. If the buyer has sufficient funds, they can even have the goods printed out using virtual 3D printing technology.

Zhou Yuan and his two companions came out just to stroll around and see how many people there were. After all, during their nearly 40,000 years of wandering on the five planets of Tiancan, they had seen very few people in the closed room, and the person was awakened only once every thousand years.

After spending two days and Sunday interacting with a large number of Earthlings, Zhou Yuan experienced the prosperity and technological advancement of humanity today. What pleased Zhou Yuan the most was the tolerance of this mother world towards the Keron people. They allowed Keron people to freely fall in love, marry, and have children with each other and with the original humans, as long as ethical, blood, and incestuous issues were avoided. These relationships were permitted and protected by imperial law.

Of course, to prevent the Kerons from invading or betraying the original humans, the Kerons were imprinted with a "thought stamp" during consciousness transplantation: eternal loyalty to the original humans. Zhou Yuan and his companions still talked about the Kerons with great interest. Since Zhou Yuan and Panna were immortal, the Keron issue did not exist for them. However, Chu Xiaolu was different. Although her lifespan could theoretically reach around a thousand years, when Chu Xiaolu grew old, she would probably have to accept the Keron, at which point her consciousness would be transplanted into a young and energetic body.

On Monday, June 23, the Earth Empire celebrated the millennium of its migration to New Earth, beginning with a grand military parade.

Humanity's advanced technology is fully demonstrated here. Apart from weapons that destroy celestial bodies, such as the Shengtianbo, the Sniper Arrow, the Interstellar Catapult, the Neutron War Star, and the Sniper Starship, which are not on display, all kinds of weapons on land, sea, air and space are presented to the world. For example, a large warship that is nearly a thousand kilometers long suddenly shrinks into a small warship that is only a dozen meters long; large warships are intelligently and automatically disassembled and reassembled; intelligent combat modules; intelligent combat robots; drones; teleportation portals, etc.

The most breathtaking sight was the hundreds of millions of virtual parallel universes, known as "bubble spheres," displayed at the massive MATRIX base, simulating the evolution of civilizations. These "bubble spheres" stretched as far as the eye could see, layered in a regular pattern, and each of them shimmered with countless bright lights.

In fact, the Empire possesses an even larger base than the MATRIX base. This base is specifically designed to simulate this world, known as the Three Thousand Worlds, or TTTWORLD by the Empire. Zhou Yuan later learned that the Empire has three planets dedicated to building bases specifically for TTTWORLD. However, TTTWORLD remains unknown to outsiders. Most of Earth's population is unaware that their universe is a virtual simulation. The Thomas government has concealed this from the public, a policy that has received strong support from all high-ranking officials, elites, and relevant scientists within the Empire.

Regardless, the military parade showcasing overwhelming military power ignited the passion of humanity. Amidst pride and confidence, humanity certainly wouldn't forget everything Zhou Yuan had brought to mankind. The grand finale of the parade was the appearance of Zhou Yuan's golden statue in planetary synchronous orbit above the imperial capital planet. This colossal golden statue, a thousand kilometers tall, symbolized a thousand years. Like a satellite, it revolved around the capital planet, which, along with eight other new Earths, orbited the same sun.

Nine Earths, orbiting the sun in the same orbit, this is just one of the Earth Empire's planetary systems. The empire already has five such systems. On Wednesday the 25th, the head of the Earth Empire's Star Bureau accompanied Zhou Yuan and his companions to visit the five series of nine-star orbiting systems. The Earth Empire constructed so many nine-star orbiting systems in this way because it heeded Zhou Yuan's advice, aiming to disperse the population as much as possible, and also implying a "multiple burrows for a rabbit" mentality.
