Different from the vast amount of films and novels that have been overused and overexposed.
When it truly becomes reality, everyone will fear it.
Because there are no protagonists in reality, and no miracles!
"Sir!" Tao De's voice was starting to become hoarse. His eyes were slightly red as he stared at Shen Shi, asking each word deliberately, "Is this invasion war really unstoppable?"
"..." Shen Shi was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "There's a lot behind this, with powers beyond human imagination."
"Then please tell us, sir! Exactly what powers are involved!"
Tao De's tone was filled with determination; he seemed to have regained a moment of calm.
Villard also watched Shen Shi closely from the side.
This made Shen Shi somewhat surprised.
To be honest, when he first saw those images and learned of this news, his heart was filled with despair. Without the Time Crystal and the trading market from the future, he could not imagine how deep his despair and breakdown might be.
Is this the quality of human elites?
Shen Shi's heart also brightened slightly.
What he feared most was humanity losing the will to resist. If that happened, merely relying on his strength, even with the Time Crystal and the trading market three thousand years in the future, would accomplish nothing.
"Are you really prepared?" Shen Shi said with slight meaning, "Knowing more might lead to greater despair."
"Without despair, nothing would change." Tao De clenched his hands, slowly exhaled, and smiled self-mockingly, "Ever since discovering the existence of Aliens, we had already considered the worst-case scenario of an Alien invasion, but even if it happens, what else can we do but resist with all our might? Especially since—"
At this point, he paused and looked at Shen Shi, as if there was a mysterious light in his eyes.
"Humans know about the Cosmos, about interstellar matters, about the enemy; we are not completely ignorant, right?"
Shen Shi was looked at with such an image and suddenly reacted.
Indeed.
His presence seemed to give them a lifeline!
A human, acquiring a spaceship in the Cosmos, even managing so many Aliens from different civilizations and races! Even able to come back and inform them about Blue Star being invaded beforehand!
Isn't this a lifeline?
With Shen Shi here, it's far better than being suddenly invaded!
But...
Even though they were prepared, being stared at with such eyes gave Shen Shi a subtle pressure.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I've been back for about ten days."
Tao De and Villard were taken aback but didn't say anything, instead listening carefully.
Shen Shi's expression still did not change much, but his tone began to soften.
As if talking to himself: "I originally just wanted to take my family away and quietly leave, but before that, I couldn't help but experience the life I never had on Blue Star and reconnect with people I once thought I'd never meet again."
Tao De and Villard's eyes suddenly brightened up.
They exchanged a glance.
They could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
It was clear that the reason for this meeting seemed to be greatly related to the "persons thought of as never to be met again" mentioned by the other party!
This further implies that the crucial man before them still harbors feelings for humanity!
"When I realized—" Shen Shi glanced at them indifferently, his expression seemed to soften a bit, "I might prefer life on Blue Star, so I decided to strive to give you, humanity, a chance for victory."
That's it!
Having finally received a definite answer and understood the other's attitude, Tao De and Villard's hearts were excited to the point of trembling!
When they learned of the Alien invasion, even though they couldn't completely verify the truth of the news, they felt despair.
But despair came from the news Shen Shi provided, and hope came equally so!
"Sir, as long as you are willing to help us, we will certainly not disappoint you!" Villard couldn't help but say eagerly.
He feared most that the other party would take family and friends and leave far away.
Leaving the humanity on Blue Star to face the invaders, knowing nothing about the enemy or where they came from!
Just thinking about that situation.
He felt a shiver throughout his body.
"If I'm disappointed, then it means humans have been defeated." Shen Shi looked at Villard, saying calmly, "You'll lose everything."
And I, can still escape.
The reason he said the previous words was not only to back up his actions from ten days ago but also to draw closer to humanity.
The mystery needed to be established, the background needed even more establishment.
However, Shen Shi also didn't want to completely separate from humanity.
If the future is really changed, he would stay on Blue Star.
Therefore, he needed to show humanity's side, demonstrate his bond with humanity.
"The care for family and first love" was quite fitting.
But he also needed to control the degree.
He could do his utmost to change the future, but he could not bear all the responsibility and pressure.
This was not a matter of whether he wanted to bear it or not.
It was because he clearly understood that when everyone thinks you are a hero, any failure will become an original sin.
"As long as there's an opportunity, I believe we'll seize it; it's for the future of humanity!" Tao De said earnestly, his eyes bright with spirit.
"Yes, yes." Villard nodded repeatedly.
As for those who understood, amid these intense ups and downs, most were gasping for breath, with their eyes and feelings becoming incredibly complex.
"I hope after knowing the specific situation, you can still be this optimistic." Shen Shi did not confirm or deny, just raised his fruit tea again, took a sip, as if refreshing his throat, and slowly said, "This Cosmos is far grander than humans imagine."
It was like the opening of a grand movie.
All around, whether the blue sky, the ever-changing sea, or the soft sand underfoot, began to twist and then faded away like a tide.
The vast, endless Cosmos slowly appeared.
Before everyone's eyes were nothing but flickering stars.
Who among them had ever been in the Cosmos? At this moment, they were captivated by this incredibly mysterious scene.
Chief Engineer Lu was so excited he was trembling.
Even though he realized through gravity and the touch beneath him that everything before them was just an illusion, not the real Cosmos.
But so what?
