Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 747 - 720: Only One Path

"General Manager Chen, hello, hello!"

"General Manager Chen, I never thought I’d meet you here!"

The creak of chair friction, the sound of gulping... As Chen Shouyi arrived, several prime ministers present subconsciously stood up, visibly excited.

So... those who hadn’t planned to stand up had to follow suit and stand up.

People always follow the crowd.

Just like during a meeting, when everyone claps, can you not clap? When everyone stands to welcome him, can you remain seated?

Do you have a problem with God Chen?

Have you sided with the alien world?

Are you...?

What if God Chen holds a grudge.

No need to do anything; just mentioning in a public setting that you seem displeased, and by the next day, you’ll have to resign out of disgrace.

As the de facto uncrowned king of humanity, the savior.

Chen Shouyi’s influence is undoubtedly nuclear-level.

These people may be high and mighty in their own countries, but when faced with a "god" and "savior," no matter how powerful, they become irrelevant, only slightly better suited mentally compared to regular people.

Of course, this was just a minor incident.

After a period of chaos.

Things quickly quieted down.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. At the invitation of the President, I’m here to share some of the intelligence I possess..."

Chen Shouyi didn’t mince words and went through the intelligence.

Not much differed from what everyone previously understood, but hearing it from Chen Shouyi made all the difference; if earlier they had been skeptical, they were now convinced beyond doubt.

Reputation precedes oneself, and someone of his stature needs not lie, nor has any reason to lie.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was suffocatingly silent.

Almost breathless.

Logically, it should be noisy and argumentative by now, but at this moment, it was eerily quiet, with no one making a sound.

God Chen’s pressure is terrifying!

Just then, Chen Shouyi noticed someone raising a hand, looked towards him: "Speak! Uh, no need to stand, just speak while seated."

"Sir God Chen, is that Ancestor God really that powerful? I mean, are you unable to resist?" a prime minister from a small Central Asian country asked cautiously.

"You’re overestimating me." Chen Shouyi said expressionlessly.

Resist, resist what!

This is completely a different level altogether.

The more you understand, the more you feel that unfathomable power and terror.

In truth, creatures at that level have long transcended the concepts humans can comprehend. If ordinary gods can be dismissively called Barbarian Gods—a mere powerful species.

Then Ancestor God and Tamu are worthy of being called gods.

Gods in every sense of the word.

"Sir God Chen, do you have any strategies or suggestions for this human crisis?" someone else asked.

"I’m just a regular person, matters of this magnitude shouldn’t involve me," Chen Shouyi said.

Everyone pretended not to hear, faces twitching slightly.

Chen Shouyi ignored their expressions, continued: "But since I’m here, I’ll simplify it, humanity currently has two paths.

One path, for humanity to fully migrate to the alien world and stay as far from the spatial passage as possible, perhaps avoiding the turmoil during the Solar System’s devouring.

The other path is to leave the Solar System.

Don’t cling to luck, don’t think of fighting back; neither Ancestor God nor Tamu’s will is something humanity can contend with presently, compared to these beings, Earth is a stone ball easily shattered by hand."

Earth-shaking.

Faces changed dramatically.

No one expected even God Chen to be so pessimistic and desperate.

"General Manager Chen, is it really that strong?" the President of Great Xia Country asked.

"Maybe even stronger!"

...

Before long, Chen Shouyi left, leaving various national leaders to continue the discussions.

The sky was gloomy, filled with thick mist.

Around the Capital City lay the Great Xia Country, possibly the era’s largest heavy industrial belt, with extreme air pollution, though no one probably cared now; hunger drives indifference to dirt on a bread found in a dump.

After walking out of the People’s Auditorium, Chen Shouyi didn’t immediately return to Zhonghai, but wandered aimlessly around the city’s streets.

He sighed lightly.

No matter the final decisions of the countries, humanity only has the option to abandon Earth.

Little reason for sentimentality, after all, worrying isn’t useful, no matter how difficult the situation, life must continue.

The emergence of mutations taught even the weakest to be strong; he had long been used to this pressure.

He opened the attribute panel.

Hesitated a moment, then added 15,000 points to "Self-Healing."

A surge of warmth rose within, spreading through his body.

His mind swiftly drawn away.

Only when most of his mind was consumed did it cease.

Originally showing Self-Healing (Super): 35.01% on the attribute panel.

Now changed to Self-Healing (Super): 50.01%.

He flexed his limbs, discovered no significant difference, but a deeper look into the cells revealed each cell’s will growing stronger, as if each were an independent life form.

He extended his palm.

With a thought.

Next moment.

As if weathered, countless cells and substances separated from the palm.

In a blink.

A crystalline hand bone connected by fascia appeared before him.

He was taken aback.

No blood, little pain, his body seemingly unwounded.

The cells and substances floating in the air somehow remained connected to his body, as if established a bond through some means.

He flexed his fingers.

The hand bone creaked.

Chen Shouyi looked up, a girl stared at him in horror, as if she’d seen a ghost.

Chen Shouyi smiled kindly, reassured: "Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person."

The girl nodded vigorously, almost crying.

Chen Shouyi was helpless, ordinary individuals just had poor acceptance.

If it were the Shell Lady, she would merely be surprised.

With a thought, countless cells converged, and the next moment, the palm returned to normal, showing no signs of its previous bone separation; he was about to leave when the girl stopped him.

Previously terrified, the girl suddenly grew bold, studied Chen Shouyi secretly, face flushed. "I know you’re not a bad person."

"Oh?" Chen Shouyi paused, surprised: "How do you know?"

"I’ve seen your recordings; you’re General Manager Chen, right?" the girl said boldly, meeting Chen Shouyi’s gaze: "I admire you the most."

"Sorry, you got the wrong person!" Chen Shouyi hurriedly replied.
