When Shen Shi said this, a hint of desolation appeared in his gaze, just at the right moment.
This was naturally deliberate.
Under the embellishment of Primordial Energy, this hint of desolation was inevitably noticed by everyone. They could even imagine how arduous and dangerous it would be for a "native" from Blue Star in the Cosmos.
Moreover, those with more sensitive thoughts, such as Tao De and Villard, could undoubtedly perceive a deeper meaning in Shen Shi's words.
Indeed, his return might not be a good thing.
As the other party said, the Cosmos has its own rules. Maybe these rules are barbaric and cruel, possibly unscrupulous and wanton. Could such a person, returning to Blue Star with incredibly powerful technology or even force, still be restrained by Blue Star's laws and morals, rules and order?
If someone foolishly offends him or even attacks him, what consequences would it bring?
If he wants to rule the entire world, become an Emperor, become a dictator, can anyone stop him?
And the possible alien interest group behind him...
These issues compel them to think carefully and pay attention.
Because ever since this cosmic spacecraft appeared in the world, announcing the existence and might of alien civilizations, humanity's destiny and future have already stood at a dividing line, on the verge of a deep abyss or soaring into the clouds, perhaps just a hair's breadth and a thought away!
Perhaps—
Shen Shi's words were a reminder to them, a warning to them.
Tao De's heart grew increasingly cautious.
The image of Shen Shi in his mind had changed again and again, not only with a mysterious background and experiences, powerful strength, but also a mysterious mind, impossible to fathom.
However, he naturally would not reveal these concerns in such a situation.
Because whether worried or not, this man had already arrived!
"Sir, I have a different opinion on your statement." Tao De cautiously chose his words, smiled, and said, "For Eastern Country People, no matter how wonderful the outside world is, the homeland always holds special significance."
"Exactly." Villard's words were much more direct, "Blue Star will always be your homeland, forever!"
The closest connection they could establish with Shen Shi at this moment was through "homeland" and "race."
And this topic was precisely what Shen Shi needed!
This time, he remained silent for a long time.
Until Tao De and others began to feel uneasy, he slowly said:
"You're right. After all, this is my homeland, where my family and longing lie."
Only then did Tao De and the others feel relieved.
But then they heard Shen Shi continue, "Therefore, I had to return... at the very least, to take away the people I care about, to escape from here."
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene changed.
Even those who couldn't understand the Eastern Country language felt the shift in the atmosphere.
They looked blankly at the Eastern Country People around them, noticing their suddenly rigid expressions.
In fact, even Tao De's smile froze.
He wondered if he had misheard.
Did the other party really use the word "escape" just now?
Escape from Blue Star? Why?
An inexplicable chill seemed to crawl up from the soles of his feet along his spine.
As if trying to devour all warmth.
But before he could speak further, Shen Shi, as if opening a floodgate, continued, "I know that humanity's exploration of the Cosmos has just begun. You know almost nothing about the deeper Cosmos, but—"
He shook his head, seemingly silently sighing.
"The Cosmos is far from as wonderful as you imagine."
Gulp.
Many people couldn't help swallowing, showing expressions of disbelief and doubt.
This statement almost made it explicit.
Tao De recalled the words that Hengyu, the alien, said to him before entering.
Being backward means being beaten.
The ominous feeling in his heart almost reached its peak!
"Sir, what... do you mean by that? Can you elaborate?" He noticed his voice even trembled involuntarily.
"To put it simply." Shen Shi's dark eyes scanned over them with a slow and clear tone, "An alien Interstellar Nomadic Fleet has discovered and set its sights on Blue Star. At most, within three years, an alien invasion war will sweep across Blue Star."
Boom—!
Everyone who understood this sentence felt their heads explode!
Alien invaders!
After knowing the existence of aliens, what is humanity most afraid of?
That would be alien invaders!
The fate of some indigenous people who were invaded in human history is still vivid in the mind, with the huge technological gap leading to one side having no power to resist. And what about the technological gap between humanity and alien invaders?
Just look at all this before you, and you can know.
How much of this contains technology that humanity cannot even understand or imagine?
Even elites like Tao De and Villard, at this moment, were pale-faced and dazed, their inner panic almost beyond words!
The worst case scenario has actually appeared!
"Sir." Tao De stared hard at Shen Shi, barely remembering his mission, asking hesitantly, "Is the information accurate?"
"When I received the information, that Interstellar Nomadic Fleet had already set off." Shen Shi said slowly, "The three years I mentioned refer to the time the fleet spends on the way. It's even possible that the scout forces have already arrived."
This is based on the invader's level of navigation technology for calculation.
Although, for future humanity, the history that was once blocked and erased is barely known.
However, they have a deep understanding of this invader whom they resisted for six hundred years.
This is one of the reasons why Shen Shi is confident to do something.
As for whether the invaders will arrive...
In fact, Shen Shi had once fantasized that the history was not the future of their world.
But unfortunately.
As time goes by, the connection between him and Time Crystal seems to deepen continuously.
So, a feeling that is indescribable but surely exists tells him that this is the future of this world, the future of this Blue Star!
And this statement undoubtedly shattered the last fantasy of Tao De and the others.
Peace is about to disappear, war... possibly inevitable, a defeat of utmost cruelty far beyond any previous war, is coming!
That would mean countless sacrifices, endless suffering, and potentially, the doom of all humanity!
