Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"Excuse my bluntness, but compared to geniuses like Rosholm and the Black Tower, your lifespan is actually the same as that of an ordinary person. However, you also possess the same lofty sense of morality and dignity as ordinary people, which is admirable."

As he spoke, a blue planet suddenly appeared in the dark universe.

Chadwick watched this scene silently. He didn't know what Lin Yuan was planning to do, but interest was evident in his eyes—the curiosity that every genius is born with.

"This is an extremely ordinary planet, so ordinary that it cannot even utilize all the energy resources available to the planet. Naturally, it cannot enter the starry sky or step onto the interstellar stage."

Lin Yuan's voice sounded nostalgic.

"But even on such a planet, there is an interesting characteristic—war. The history of this world is a history of war. On such a small land, war is ever-present, and even drives the progress and development of human civilization."

Later, after another war that swept the world and claimed countless lives, a long period of peace finally arrived. It stemmed from a weapon, a weapon...capable of utterly annihilating the enemy.

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, the beautiful planet before them suddenly changed.

Countless points of light appeared on the land and sea, and mushroom clouds rose up with dazzling flames, tearing apart the atmosphere and sky.

"That's right, fission weapons, fusion weapons. These things, which are now considered ancient relics in interstellar space, have brought about incredible peace. Doctor, do you know why?"

Chadwick's expression shifted slightly, and he spoke softly, "Because of deterrence."

"Correct, Mr. Genius, deterrence."

Lin Yuan continued, "The inventor of this weapon once said after the first successful test explosion: 'I am becoming the destroyer of death and the world.'"

He created this weapon, and countless lives may have been lost because of it. Do you think he spent his later years in remorse?

Without waiting for Chadwick's reply, Lin Yuan continued:

"After that, various regimes around the world acquired this weapon and gained control of deterrence. From then on, war was given a clear line. How long can this peace, built on deterrence, last? We do not know."

But I believe that one day it will be broken. Perhaps it will be because of a geopolitical conflict, or a small-yield weapon exploding in a city, that everyone will find it's not as terrifying as they imagined;

Or perhaps it's when those in power believe the cost is bearable that deterrence collapses.

The azure planet disappeared before their eyes, and Lin Yuan's first story came to an end.

"Let's broaden our perspective to the entire universe, Mr. Genius."

Their vision zoomed out rapidly, and an endless sea of ​​stars unfolded before them.

The first thing to appear was also a beautiful planet. A pitch-black spaceship silently sailed in from outer space, looking down at it from above.

The next moment, a glass sphere was accelerated to near the speed of light within the confined field. In an instant, the planet disintegrated without any suspense, shattering along with its diverse inhabitants.

"These are scholars of extinction, travelers on the path of destruction. They enjoy trying to create the beauty of destruction in various ways. They feel this beauty in destruction. Doctor, they are scholars just like you."

Lin Yuan introduced leisurely.

The view zooms out again, and a dazzling star appears. Oh, and a black hole... A dozen gravitational sources are fixed in a region of stars.

"This is the Star Picker, a guy who loves experimenting. It's just that his lab is quite large, and sometimes billions of mice are roasted by the high temperature of stars, frozen in eternal night, or swallowed by black holes. Perhaps on a cosmic scale, their deaths are much more heroic, aren't they?"

A calm voice rang out, and Chadwick's body twitched slightly.

"besides."

A blood-red planet appeared before us.

"The rescuers, the apostles of abundance. They firmly believe that the world is a sea of ​​suffering, and if they want to free life from suffering and reach the other shore, they should kill them all with their own hands and escape the sea of ​​suffering."

Lin Yuan's speech quickened.

"besides."

"These are incinerators, travelers of memories. They burn all memories they deem worthless, and later the entire galaxy fell silent because of this."

"besides..."

"besides."

"besides!"

Pre-war caregiver, suicide victim, herb gatherer, arsonist, scar grave...

One name and scene after another was presented to Chadwick, dazzling him like a kaleidoscope.

"Of course, we cannot forget your colleagues. The genius Emperor Rupert, who annihilated a galaxy in a microsecond! The Primal Doctor, and his follower, the Forest of Origin, in their research, hybridized and recombined the genes of all humans, animals, and plants on the entire planet, creating hundreds and thousands of human subspecies!"

"Enough! This is blasphemy!"

Chadwick abruptly raised his head, his body trembling. He was somewhat angry, but the reason for his anger was completely different from before—it was the anger of a human being.

"What are you trying to say? That the three civilizations I destroyed in the imaginary number collapse pulse test are insignificant compared to these?"

"I only want to make one point, Doctor."

Lin Yuan paused:

"In this universe, as an ordinary person, a weakling, I have absolutely no means of deterring those who control the power of destiny."

He spoke calmly.

"But there was one genius. He invented something so great that it was ahead of its time—he invented a gun, a weapon that even the weak could use to resist and deter these damned, abnormal madmen, to resist this abnormal universe."

He brought an opportunity, an opportunity for a normal tomorrow that all living beings in the world yearn for.

As Lin Yuan's cold voice rang out, the surrounding scenery began to change.

The cosmos vanished, and the space before us felt cramped again. A high-tech control room appeared.

Before them, on a huge screen, a cold countdown was ticking, and several figures with different expressions were staring at the red button in front of them.

"Doctor, I know you participated in this project not for any ideals, nor for fame or fortune. You simply want to prove yourself, to let the world and people see your talents, and to prove that it was undoubtedly the right decision for Professor Bo Shi to choose you."

Look, did a smile appear on your face as you pressed the detonation button?

Chadwick fell silent. He didn't look at Lin Yuan, nor at the phantom before him; he was examining the self hidden within himself.

"To be or not to be, that is the question. Mr. Chadwick, you now have a choice: take this undeniably brilliant invention, the only chance to give mortals the dignity of life, to your grave, and I will immediately help you erase this memory completely."

Let's preserve this technology and work together to pursue that great cause, to strive for a normal world.

"Who...who are you?"

"I saw a purple sun hanging in the sky, with boundless white light pouring down, illuminating this dark forest."

Lin Yuan slowly walked to Chadwick's side.

"I saw, under the white light, in the new world, everyone had an equal and normal life."

A white light shone forth, and the surrounding scenery and consciousness collapsed under its glow. Chadwick silently sensed the light without uttering a word.

"In truth, you and I are the same; we will eventually be forgotten. But there are always great things that can leave an indelible mark on this universe."

After a brief silence, in this world of emotions that was beginning to crumble.

With his back to Lin Yuan, Chadwick suddenly let out a hoarse laugh.

"Hehe...ha."

The laughter sounded like that of a young person, very cheerful. It seemed to carry a sense of relief, yet also a hint of mockery.

In the end, he reconciled with his desires. Perhaps this also shows that he was the most human genius, a genius among mortals.

An aged voice rang out: "Heh heh, I say, success doesn't have to be achieved by me."

Lin Yuan smiled, watching everything before him dissipate in the white light, and he spoke with pleasure:

"Goodbye, Doctor. I said, I will definitely be a part of your success."

.........

Chapter 280 Gaze

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Although much has been experienced in the other person's mind, it is only a fleeting moment in the outside world.

The wind blew from the front, and he was the only one left on the bench.

Goodbye, Doctor. I will remember you.

The young man stood up, took off his hat, and gave a slight nod to the empty chair.

Not far away, Moira, the hunting dog who hadn't gone far, saw what was happening and came over to check it out, somewhat puzzled.

"Sir, Dr. Chadwick, he—"

"Perhaps because of that matter, Dr. Chadwick seems a bit tired and his memory is somewhat unstable. The head of the family has ordered me to check on the doctor's memory state. Is the doctor's room still the same one?"

As Lin Yuan spoke, a power of adjustment suddenly shone in his eyes.

Moira's thoughts were instantly affected, and she subconsciously spoke:

"Yes, or..."

During their conversation, she told Lin Yuan about the room where Chadwick was staying.

"Very good. When the doctor reappears, remember to check on his status promptly and report any abnormalities immediately."

"Yes!"

Moira nodded, watching the figure disappear into the distance. Her mind was still somewhat hazy.

.....

"After I leave, this hound will likely become suspicious and notice something amiss, affecting its fictitious power. Therefore, time is running out. And..."

Lin Yuan looked up at the sky and could sense that something faint and indistinct was beginning to appear in his dream. Perhaps some will had noticed the anomaly here.

"In that case, I'll wake up first."

He found a secluded corner and stood on the rooftop.

"I will perform a show that can single-handedly bring down housing prices in the border area of ​​Zhumen."

Lin Yuan smiled, opened his arms, and leaped down from the high platform.

........

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and got up from the Dream Pool.

Just as the family had said, this dream world did not actually result in death under normal circumstances.

He pushed open the door and glanced around the corridor.
