Global live stream of the containment of the aliens terrifies the alien fleet.

She stood frozen in the wind, her small hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt. Several minutes passed before she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and two bright flames leaped from her pupils—

"You! You're the one the teacher mentioned... even stronger than the Empire's number one swordsman—the Sword Saint!! The Dawn Sword Saint!! I remember! I'm sure I've heard of him!!"

She stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously at the sky, her voice as cheerful as a little bird that had just learned to sing.

In an instant—

The holy wings behind Yan quietly disappeared, replaced by wings of ever-flowing pale golden light.

The silver armor faded, transforming into a close-fitting soft leather battle armor, with a long sword hanging at the waist, and the hem of the clothes fluttering like blades.

With each swing of the sword, a sharp sword aura surged forth; with each step he took into the air, it was as if he were stepping on an invisible staircase.

But everyone can see that—

This combat power is far inferior to that of a true angel form.

But for 239, this makes perfect sense.

In her vision, the "Dawn Sword Saint" is the light that tears through the darkness, the ultimate answer to slay all evil.

and so……

The evil dragon Soton was whipped so badly that it rolled on the ground, its screams heart-wrenching.

However, the angel team in the parallel universe couldn't hold back any longer.

The moment they blinked, Angel Yan's signal was completely cut off, and there wasn't even an echo on the channel.

"Yan? You lost signal? What happened?"

The voice of the Holy Keisha came through the interdimensional communication, her tone revealing surprise and doubt for the first time.

"Your Majesty! Sister Yan has gone missing! We have landed on Earth and request immediate search and rescue operations!"

A female angel spoke rapidly, kneeling on one knee before her wings had fully folded in, pleading for her command.

Meanwhile, in this parallel universe, Earth...

With a single sword strike, the Dawn Sword Saint Yan cleaved through the dragon's scales, severely wounding the evil dragon Soton, who fled hastily into the clouds, dragging its charred, severed tail.

Terrified, 239 was huddled in a corner grocery store. Potato chips were piled crookedly on the shelves, and an old-fashioned television behind the counter was crackling loudly—the screen was showing the opening scene of "The Three-Body Problem": the giant antenna of the Red Coast Base slowly rotated, and cold blue light swept across the wasteland.

239's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared intently at the screen.

"My goodness!!"

"My God!! Isn't this 'The Three-Body Problem,' which just won the Hugo Award and is all over the internet?!"

"What the hell! Who crammed this little devil into a sci-fi movie set?!"

"Help! This isn't time travel—this is like throwing a medieval powder keg into a warp drive bay! We're doomed! All doomed!!"

"I can't hold on any longer! I won't survive more than 48 hours in that other world! My heart rate has spiked to 180! Quick! Double the dose of nitroglycerin!!"

……

The whole world was in an uproar.

No one was staring at the dashing Dawn Sword Saint, Yan, in his silver armor anymore.

Even the fire-breathing, mountain-devouring dragon became a groundhog in the background.

No matter how fierce it is, it's still just a ruthless character from the era of cold weapons. The light blades of angels and the dark energy of demons can nail it to the city wall as decoration in no time.

But now—

Hold!!

239's blank-skinned head was being thoroughly bombarded by images from "The Three-Body Problem" such as "Sophons locking down technology," "Water droplets shattering interstellar fleets," and "Two-dimensional foils reducing dimensions to zero"!

What is the Three-Body Problem?

Nonsense! That's a hardcore masterpiece that swept the globe, a survival battle on a cosmic scale—the Black Forest theory, the chain of suspicion, technological explosion... every word hits reality like a hammer blow!

Command cabin of the Juxia.

"This is terrible!! So this is the root cause of the quarantine for 239?! If she really 'imagined' the Three-Body Problem setting into reality... there's no solution! Utterly no solution!!"

General Duau slammed his fist on the control panel, the metal vibrating and humming.

Containment breach? No, the containment itself is collapsing!

It is likely that only by triggering a cataclysmic event would the universe be forced to open a parallel rift—and if the containment council had not been holding the gates down so tightly, this universe would already be like the other side, with the Trisolaran civilization running all over the place!

"What's going on with 'The Three-Body Problem'?! Lianfeng! Connect with the author immediately! We must cut off all input before 239 understands the 'Singer Civilization'!"

Du Ao roared until his throat was hoarse.

If she were to come up with "Zero-Returners," "Dimensional Blows," and "Slow Fog"... the entire observable universe would probably turn into a crumpled old newspaper!

"General, Liu has been connected... but you must remember, it's a parallel universe."

Before Lianfeng could finish speaking, Deno-1 had already connected to the video feed—behind black-rimmed glasses, writer Liu Cixin was holding an enamel mug, looking completely innocent.

Uh……

Yup!

Parallel universes! How could I have acted so impulsively...?

Du Ao's Adam's apple bobbed, and his face turned ashen.

The "me" over there is also a living, breathing "me". But who could have predicted that before a single thought could even take root, half the sky would collapse?

"Ahem, greetings, General. I am Liu Cixin, author of *The Three-Body Problem*. The book introduces some concepts—such as the Sophon and the Droplet—but the truly deadly ones are what follow: the Two-Dimensional Foil, the Singer, the Zero-Returner…"

He adjusted his glasses, his tone as calm as if he were talking about the weather.

Everyone in the command cabin paused for a moment.

"I'm speechless! Can't you hold back when writing novels?! This isn't science fiction—this is an ultimatum to the entire universe! With this setting, you're not just crushing Earth, you'd make even Denuo's 30,000-year technological tree look like a homework copy!"

Du Ao's voice was weak.

"Ahem... It's a novel, so let's be a little more imaginative. I really didn't expect 239 to be so 'realistic.' But don't panic, General, it's a parallel world after all—or how about we treat it like a popcorn movie? I still haven't found myself in that world... Looks like I won't even get a cameo role."

Da Liu shook his head with a wry smile.

The special forces members slumped their shoulders, looking like salted fish with their bones removed.

This is infuriating!

These writers are just bored and have nothing better to do than think about how to be as exaggerated as possible. Do they really think readers are fools who don't even know basic common sense?

A single silver droplet capable of crushing thousands of warships!

A two-dimensional foil that can compress the entire universe into a sheet of paper!

Even the sun can turn you into a crispy pancake!

What the hell!

Their skin is so thick it could stop a meteorite!

General Du Ao felt a pang of sadness.

After hearing the truth about the Three-Body Problem, Glenn, Xinye, and the others all looked increasingly grim.

……

[In the sky]

239 stared blankly at the Three-Body Problem movie playing on TV, as if a clear spring had suddenly gushed into a parched wasteland, and the long-dormant thought patterns in his mind were suddenly illuminated.

"There are... interstellar ships? And sophons, droplets... These powers are even more awe-inspiring than the highest-level magic our teacher taught us? This world is way too hardcore!!"

239 couldn't help but mutter to himself.

And in that instant when her mind was in turmoil—

Parallel world, the Red Crow Heng Galaxy.

The Taotie army was already lined up and ready to go.

Having not experienced the annihilation of the Thousand Feathered Angels, their morale is soaring, and they are marching towards Earth in a mighty force, with their vanguard already quietly infiltrating near-Earth orbit.

"Ha, isn't my God Karl being a bit too cautious? Your Majesty, we Taotie are a peak level two civilization. To deal with a primitive planet that's still using gunpowder to fire cannons, isn't that like using a nuclear bomb to kill a chicken?"

"Shut up! My divine Karl has his own reasons, you know nothing but spouting nonsense!"

"Lord Howling King, when are we going to make our move? The advance team just sent back news—that piece of trash Du Ao sneaked onto Earth a thousand years ago, and even tried to win over some damned China, setting up some lousy special forces team, euphemistically called the 'God-Making Project'!"

"Create a god? Ha! Create a useless god, huh? This kind of trash isn't even worthy of shining my god Karl's shoes! He's only fit to kneel and smell my god's exhaust fumes!!"

"This is an insult to the word 'God'! Lord Howling King, this time you must make that Denodou and that mad dog-like war maniac kneel down and sing a song of submission!"

"However, Your Majesty, Queen Morgana has just issued a strict order—no weapons of nuclear caliber or higher are to be used against Earth. Isn't that old woman meddling way too much?"

"Damn it! I'll tear Morgana's stinking mouth apart sooner or later!!"

……

Inside the command cabin of the Taotie flagship.

A group of generals, their mouths brimming with sharp tongues, were arguing heatedly.

King Shihao sat firmly in his throne, his expression as cold and stern as iron.

……

The present-day Earth.

As the Howling King, who had activated the Void Engine, watched this video, his eyes actually felt slightly warm.

"My brothers...you..."

His throat tightened. If it weren't for that bizarre event that happened back then, his fleet would have been intact, and everything would have been as normal.

He used to dislike his subordinates' foul language, and would often give them a hard time and scold them. He even put several outspoken officers in solitary confinement.

But at this moment—

He suddenly realized that living is about having people joking around and a bunch of bastards making a ruckus.

now.

Of the entire Taotie civilization, he was the only one left alive.

Of course, there were also a few warriors awakened by Death God Karl, but apart from the Wind and Thunder Generals, the rest were like newborn babies, not remembering any of their past grudges.

desolate!

Resentment!

……

[Scene Change]

In a parallel universe, the Howling King is looking down and working out tactics to encircle and annihilate Earth's special forces.

suddenly--

In the far reaches of the void, a drop of water, completely undetectable by radar, quietly took shape.

It's as if it grew directly from nothingness.

No one noticed.

Parallel Earth.

Parallel Grand Canyon.

"General!! The Taotie fleet has broken through the Kuiper Belt and is expected to enter Earth's atmosphere within ten days—this battle is a matter of life and death for civilization!!"

Parallel Lianfeng's voice was strained.

"Time is running out! These gluttons... damn it! Immediately activate national combat readiness, everyone to Level 1 response! Accelerate the development of the Divine River Armor, it must be finalized and deployed before the invasion! Every super soldier, not a single one can be missed! Whether we can survive this calamity... depends on this final wave!!"

Immediately notify Rose to contact Reina at once and request reinforcements from the Blazing Sun! Even if it's just a few high-protection shields, we must save our lives first!

General Duao made a resolute statement.

On the orbital monitoring screen of Denuo 1,

The solar system is now swarming with Taotie fleets—a dark, dense mass, like a swarm of locusts passing through.

Those ferocious starships, with their flagships alone stretching for tens of kilometers, their steel behemoths covered in dark red patterns, looked like giant beasts of the star sea awakening!

Its sheer size is so immense that it crushed the Earth to the point where it was less than dust.

Earth is currently still testing even a stable energy shield, let alone a fully developed energy weapon.

No wonder the Taotie didn't take this blue planet seriously at all.

An interstellar civilization fighting a spacefaring civilization? That's like a tomahawk splitting tofu—one slice, one kill, quick and clean!

"General! Something's happened!! Look! The fleet is disintegrating?! Something's wrong!!"

A commander suddenly sprang up from his seat, his voice cracking.

In the real-time images transmitted back by Denuo-1,

The Taotie formation was completely thrown into chaos.
