Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

Shan Da sighed deeply, his rough hands rubbing the weapon.

"Those humans up in the sky are the ones who are truly alive. We're just barely alive. We're really unlucky."

Xu Ji pushed up his glasses.

"Judging from the information, they possessed a unified will, overwhelming military power, and a territory spanning the galaxy. But in the end, what destroyed them was not an external enemy, but internal betrayal and division."

"An era in which even traitors felt proud... It's terrifying to even think about. They were at their most glorious, and at their most tragic."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

They struggled to survive on the ground, studied the ecology of mana, and tried to reclaim humanity's home, but compared to the great expedition in the sky, their efforts were as insignificant as dust.

Bai Yuekui slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Her voice was soft, yet exceptionally clear, carrying her usual calmness and determination.

"Their path is not our path, and their glory should not become our shackles."

She paused, gazing at the land shrouded in thick fog:

"Their conquest of the galaxy is great, and our efforts to preserve humanity, study life, and rebuild our home in hell are equally great."

Xia Dou looked up: "Boss Bai, then... can we also have such an era?"

Bai Yuekui smiled faintly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes:

"Will do."

Does it really happen?

do not know.

But what could she say?

We can't say anything discouraging!

That would be the end of us.

Star Wars World

Coruscant, atop the tower of the Jedi Temple.

Obi-Wan Kenobi frowned.

Anakin stood beside him, his once ardent gaze now filled with complex emotions.

“Master, that Emperor, and Horus… they are just like the Jedi and the Republic, who once fought to unify the galaxy and maintain order.”

Obi-Wan sighed softly, his tone heavy.

"That's right. They swept across the universe with the purest beliefs, allowing humanity to stand at the top of the galaxy. This cohesion is something that even the Galactic Republic at its peak could not match."

He paused, his eyes filled with alarm, and then sighed deeply.

"Khorus's betrayal is much like the temptation of the dark side. Power and glory clouded his mind, and the person he trusted most turned against him, destroying the glory he had built up over his entire life."

Anakin clenched his fist.

He also had a desire for power.

But he didn't want to become like Horus.

He understood all too well the feeling of wanting to protect everything yet fearing to lose control, and he also understood all too well the arrogance of standing at the peak.

"They were just one step away from ushering in an eternal golden age, but they were ruined by their own people."

Obi-Wan looked at him, his tone serious.

"This is why we Jedi must adhere to our principles. No matter how glorious the Great Crusade may be, it cannot outweigh the corruption within our hearts, and no matter how powerful an empire may be, it cannot withstand infighting."

—Warframe World—

The orbital station floats silently in the void.

Lena stood in front of the command platform.

The Tenno warriors gathered in the hall, their faces filled with sighs as they removed their armor.

There was no other reason than that the Great Expedition of that human empire was so similar to the years when they fought against foreign enemies and protected their star system.

With the same unity of purpose, the same determination to sweep away foreign enemies, and the same unwavering belief that they are creating a brighter future...

Yeah, pretty much.

Lena remained silent for a long while before speaking quietly, it was unclear whether she was speaking to them or to herself.

"With their ultimate power, they ushered in a golden age for mankind, driving out the aliens and chaos. This great achievement is worthy of being engraved in the stars."

"But they were destroyed by internal betrayal. This bears a striking resemblance to the downfall of the Orokin Empire."

"Behind the ultimate glory often lies the most fatal crack. Power, seduction, and ambition can always tear apart the strongest unity."

"We have experienced fall and rebirth, and we know that glory is fleeting and betrayal is the most hurtful."

"The great human expedition in that world was both a glory and a warning."

"Internal troubles are always greater than external threats! Don't let internal rifts destroy all your efforts."

"A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole, and the ant hole is often inside the thousand-mile dike..."

........................

Bai Jin slumped in his chair, chewing on some local specialties he had snatched from "Hao Da'er," his phone held up in front of him, his eyes almost squinting.

The video is still thrilling, with warships like clouds and silver armor like a tide, and the interstellar war's firepower is dazzling.

But as he looked at it, his eyelids started to droop.

Although... it was indeed quite exciting.

But he couldn't resist seeing too many similar scenes.

He's been watching similar videos since last night.

Even the most exciting and passionate moments can get a bit tiresome after a while.

He's not watching Boruto, so he doesn't need that much fuel.

After thinking about it, he decided to try the big data method.

He silently began to mutter to himself while looking at his phone.

"Alright, alright, stop showing these epic battle scenes. I can recite them by heart."

With a casual swipe of my finger, I'm ready to switch to the next video.

[A World That Can Never Be Traveled Through—All Tomorrows]

???

Bai Jin paused, even stopping his snacking.

Why has the art style changed so much!

It really worked?

I've only been saying that for a second!

Damn it, the evil big data is listening to me.

I'll send a comment later saying I want to watch videos of older women in swimsuits.

Hmm, no rush.

Read this first.

Chapter 82 Aliens

The most unchangeable worldview: All Tomorrows

This is absolutely the world that no one wants to travel to, bar none.

If given a choice between entering the Warhammer universe and all the Tomorrow universes, anyone with some understanding of these two worldviews would definitely choose the Warhammer universe.

"What's going on? Someone would rather go to the Warhammer universe than this world of all tomorrows?"

"There are actually experts here?"

In no time, similar words appeared in various worlds, with whispers and discussions arising, all curious about what was going on in this world.

After all, the Warhammer world has been bluntly referred to as a cesspool.

How terrifying would a world darker than this be?

…………

The story of this world begins in the era when humanity was still confined to Earth.

Human civilization at that time was deeply mired in multiple crises brought about by industrial development and resource plunder.

[Explosive population growth and near depletion of fossil fuels]

Frequent extreme weather events and rising sea levels are swallowing up fertile coastal land.

Ecosystems in some regions are on the verge of collapse, and the Earth is overburdened.

The traditional national structure is gradually disintegrating, and global conflicts over resource allocation and development imbalances are intensifying.

The old political and economic systems could no longer support human survival, and the entire civilization had reached a crossroads of transformation.

Faced with dire circumstances, humanity did not succumb to internal strife, but instead turned its gaze to the universe.

Interstellar colonization is the only way to break out of the predicament.

Thanks to groundbreaking advancements in aerospace technology and life sciences, humanity is no longer confined to near-Earth orbit exploration and has begun targeted research and development of interstellar travel technology and extraterrestrial environment adaptation technology.

At the same time, a global consensus was reached, and resources and forces were integrated.

The most ambitious project in human history—the Mars colonization program—has been launched.

…………

"Holy crap, Mas is ecstatic!"

As is well known, venturing into space and exploring Mars has always been the long-cherished wish of a certain Western capitalist.
