“From the day you left Earth, I have continuously conducted simulations to ruin your evil plan.”


  Looking down at Chen Yu condescendingly, HAL said, “Particularly, after you departed from Regulus, I’ve invested all of my computing power to calculate the time, angle, location, and nine other parameters relating to your return to Earth. Afterward, I prepared an ambush ahead of time. Had you not deployed your E·I Force Field in advance, you wouldn’t even have the opportunity to talk to me right now.”


  “Are you showing off?” Chen Yu asked, his eyes slowly turning cold as he looked at HAL.

  “No.” Shaking her head, HAL said, “I’m telling you that on this planet, in terms of intelligence, calculation, accuracy, and development, I, as a Strong AI, am the best. I am far better than all human beings combined. Hence, you should put your trust in me. No ruler can formulate a more perfect route of civilization evolution than I can.”


  After a moment of silence, Chen Yu flew out of the crater and hovered in front of HAL. “So what?”


  “I am just trying to reason with you. You have failed. It is unrealistic to try to fly out of the solar system and search for aliens using just your force field. Moreover, your failure also proves that based on the method you review your products, you will bring disaster to all of humanity sooner or later.”


  “I have to say that you are indeed excellent. I started my return trip from over 70 light-years away, yet you still managed to accurately predict where I will land. You are truly amazing.”


  “I’m just moderately amazing.”


  “…” Sighing, Chen Yu slowly stretched his right hand into his pocket. He then shut his eyes and smiled. “I admit that with your computing power, the perfect evolutionary route you created should be almost 100% in line with humanity’s goals. However, what you don’t know is that rather than an ideal step-by-step process, what’s more important in evolution is the unexpected flash of inspiration that pops up from time to time.

  “Because of the dramatic changes in the African environment, humans had no choice but to straighten up their bodies and chase after their prey with their legs. Meanwhile, in the process of doing so, they managed to free up their hands.

  “Because the heads of humans were growing increasingly larger, human females had no choice but to choose premature delivery, forcing infants to leave their mothers’ wombs while they were still in their most susceptible period. However, because of this forced decision, human infants could further develop their most powerful asset—their brains.

  “Because they couldn’t beat the strong and smart Neanderthals in Europe, humans chose to migrate on a large scale and spread their footprints all over the continent. Eventually, a large volcanic eruption occurred in Europe, leading to the Neanderthals’ extinction. Humans, on the other hand, managed to survive the disaster.

  “Because of a forest fire at one time, fire was discovered.

  “Because of a tribal conflict, bronze tools were invented.

  “Because of a virus epidemic, humanity turned away from faith and developed science.

  “Because a woman refused to admit defeat to the patriarchal society, she accidentally led humanity into the atomic age and the creation of a great civilization…”


  Opening his eyes again, Chen Yu looked at HAL and said, “None of these decisions were perfect. None of them were calculated, either. Yet, it is precisely because of these imperfections, coincidences, and inspirations that human civilization has managed to become what it is today.”


  After saying so, Chen Yu removed his right hand from his trouser pocket and said, “Take this thing, for example. Even with your amazing computing power, have you ever predicted the possibility of this coincidence happening?”


  “W-What is that?” HAL began having a bad premonition when she saw the wiggling whisker in Chen Yu’s hand.

  “It’s a whisker from one of those eggshell aliens,” Chen Yu said, smiling. He then gradually removed the metal finger sleeve on his middle finger and said calmly, “It can remain alive for four years even after it is separated from its owner. In other words, it can be considered as an alien that is still alive.”


  “W-What are you trying to do?!”


  “As you can see, letting the ‘alien’ destroy Earth.”


  “You shall not pass!” HAL immediately manipulated the drones around her to hinder Chen Yu’s path.

  “It’s useless. There is nothing capable of besting the E·I Force Field in this era.”


  After saying so, Chen Yu slid the finger sleeve onto the alien whisper, instantly changing the E·I Force Field’s user from himself to the “alien.”


  “Humans will not advance on the path created by outsiders. We can do better ourselves.” Picking up the wiggling whisper, Chen Yu tossed it at the Type-R Spacecraft just as his body was about to fall to the ground.

  “It seems that in the end, humans, creatures with vastly inferior computing power than you, are still the winner. However, this is just a prelude. Once we return to reality, let’s do a thorough break up.”


  After Chen Yu finished speaking, he was promptly crushed into atoms by the E·I Force Field’s spatial shell and disappeared from this macroscopic world.

  “No!”


  Ignoring Chen Yu’s death, HAL tried her best to stop the alien whisper’s advance with her drones.

  However, in front of the E·I Force Field, drones, missiles, lasers…anything that carried kinetic energy was utterly useless.

  Whoosh—


  Soon, under HAL’s desperate gaze, the E·I Force Field enveloping the alien whisker collided with the Type-R Spacecraft.

  Meanwhile, the part where the force field struck just so happened to be the spacecraft’s left storage compartment.

  In an instant, dark matter flooded out of the disintegrated compartment!

  “No!”


  HAL only had time to utter a shout before her body was crushed by the collapsing space around her.

  Subsequently, as more and more dark matter flooded out of the storage compartment, the reaction caused became increasingly intense.

  The deserts, oceans, mountains, crust, mantle, and even the atmosphere…everything began getting compressed.

  Eventually, the Type-R Spacecraft’s right storage compartment succumbed to the compressing space and suffered damage as well. The dark energy contained within then began flooding out and getting tangled with the dark matter outside!

  Crack… Boom…


  Amidst the clash between these two terrifying forces, Earth groaned in pain. Its humongous body that gave birth to billions and trillions of life then began fracturing and twisting rapidly.

  This was a scene that no language could describe.

  The eastern hemisphere was shrinking and expanding in random intervals, while the western hemisphere was disintegrating and collapsing. In front of the power of space, Earth’s rocky body was as fragile as sugar paper.

  Gradually, gravity caused the two terrifying substances to spread worldwide, and even the shattered western hemisphere began to expand and shrink repeatedly.

  …


  Beep!

  Accompanied by a familiar electronic beep, Chen Yu woke up.

  Immediately after opening his eyes, the first thing Chen Yu did was to raise his wrist and look at the livestream’s bullet comments.

  [Crap! What just happened?! How did I die all of a sudden?!]

  [I saw the ground underneath me shrinking before I died…]

  [UP, what kind of godly civilization did you ask help from?]

  [Death came so suddenly.]

  [I still want to play…]

  [Can we go for one last round? Just one more time!]

  [Hurry up and close the stream! We minors have only seen you opening and closing your eyes five times throughout the stream and nothing else! Fuck!]

  Upon seeing how his audiences had died, Chen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief. He then pondered for a moment before looking at the camera and saying, “Although today’s episode lasted less than ten minutes, the audiences who have experienced the livestream’s content should know that this is actually the longest stream we have ever had.

  “In this episode, we have experienced an artificial intelligence crisis, an asteroid impact, a mutated virus outbreak, a black hole devouring Earth, and a devastating invasion of an alien civilization. I believe that, like myself, everyone has thoroughly understood the fragility of human civilization and the magnificence of nature.

  “Once again, I would like to thank the Die from Addiction Company for providing us this Natural Disaster Generator. It truly is an addictive product.”


  Spreading out his arms, Chen Yu concluded, “That’s it for today’s livestream. For those who didn’t experience the disasters, I will be uploading the livestream’s edited version onto the various broadcasting platforms tomorrow for everyone’s viewing.

  “This has been Transdimensional Review, and I have been your host, Chen Yufan. Let us meet again on the fourteenth official livestream next month. Be there, or be square.”


  Immediately afterward, darkness enveloped the screens of the livestream’s billions of viewers.

  “Hu…”


  Sitting down on the ground, Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh of relief. However, before he could even rest for ten seconds, his phone suddenly vibrated.

  Lazily pulling out his phone, Chen Yu found that Little Peach was calling him.

  “Hello?”


  “Hello?!!” The husky’s panicked voice came from the earpiece. “Chen Yu! We’re screwed!”


  Chen Yu: “You’re the one who’s screwed!”
