Chapter 386: First Epoch Life Form_1

Since they could subdue the opponent, Wu Xinghai was no longer against Jiang Yu's negotiations.

He began to command the five Monster Cannons he still had operational to adjust their firing positions, ready to shoot at any moment, and he coordinated with the forces on Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune to prepare for volley fire.

Ordinary warships began evacuating the masses from Earth to Mars.

Many places on Earth had become seas of fire by that time, with tsunamis even sweeping more than a thousand kilometers inland.

However, the casualties of the Solar System State weren't severe, since anti-gravity vehicles and various types of flying machines were already fairly common.

In the previous three years, ordinary people had undergone relevant training, so whether it was an earthquake or a tsunami, they would fly up into the sky.

The casualties within the PDC were significant, but Cheng Ping was secretly grateful for this disaster.

Those who were still on Earth were set on living the peaceful life of the Intimidation Era.

They had become a burden to the PDC and spread negative thoughts, an unstable factor.

Of course, Cheng Ping could only think this way in his heart; he still had to carry out disaster relief.

By that time, Jiang Yu was discussing the details of a meeting with the other side, believing that they should send someone to talk to him.

Venus replied, "In that case, I would have to come extremely close to Earth again, because I can only communicate with you directly when you touch me."

Jiang Yu said, "Then let's just talk like this."

Venus: Okay, but I must remind you that this way of expressing is very simplistic. There are some things between us that are worlds apart in understanding, and I might not be able to explain them clearly to you.

Now that both sides were wary of each other, sending Jiang Yu to Venus or delegating someone to negotiate on Venus was impossible.

Jiang Yu said, "Let's start with this type of discussion and figure out a solution for the difficult points as we encounter them."

Venus: Okay.

Jiang Yu: "You must understand that from now on, our targeting and precautions against you will normalize!"

"We are a species that yearns for peace. You have lived with humanity in the Solar System for so long due to our bond, so I hope we can reach a peaceful agreement."

Give Jiang Yu another thirty years, and once Earth and the Moon have departed—what? A peace treaty? What is that? I only know that those not of our kind must have their hearts questioned.

Venus: It was you who initiated the war this time!

Jiang Yu sneered, "Before the war started, I suggested negotiating, but none of my scouts managed to escape from Venus. Sorry, I didn't feel any sincerity from you regarding peaceful coexistence."

Venus: If it were my heyday, you all would have been gone already!

Jiang Yu: "Too bad you're no longer in your heyday, right! Starting now, you must stay in orbit around Venus. The moment we detect you deviating from your orbit, we will immediately initiate an attack."

Venus: Then you also have to ensure that you won't send those annoying flies toward me; otherwise, I don't mind perishing along with you. Believe me, once I reveal my position, advanced civilizations will flock here.

Jiang Yu: "That's fine, but you must clarify where you come from? What is your purpose in the Solar System? What kind of life form are you exactly?"

Venus: That information is key to any civilization! You must pay a certain price!

Jiang Yu: "Make it clear that you are the losing side in battle."

Venus: No, our relationship is one of mutual deterrence. You can kill me, but I can also eliminate you by revealing the target before I die!

Wu Xinghai and others were amazed. They had fantasized about how to communicate with other civilizations before, but they had not expected this kind of haggling.

Is it because Venus is using a "human" to communicate with humanity that such a haggling scene is occurring?

Just when everyone didn't know how to deal with the pigheaded Venus, they heard Jiang Yu sneer:

"You're mistaken. The position of the Three-Body Star System has been broadcast by the universe, so we're not afraid of your deterrence at all now."

After more than half a minute, Venus finally responded: Okay, I will answer your questions as a gesture of peaceful sincerity. But if you want to ask other questions, you must pay some price.

Jiang Yu: "That's fine, but what price to pay is not for you to decide."

Venus: Don't push your luck. You've probably figured out that the answers to these questions will bring huge benefits to your civilization. Right now, most advanced civilizations in the universe don't know this information!

Jiang Yu: "I should still have the power to haggle, right?"

Venus: Okay!

Seconds later, it began answering Jiang Yu's questions: I am a First Epoch Life Form from the Three-dimensional World, and I came to the Solar System to avoid other First Epoch Life Forms.

Jiang Yu: "Objection! You must explain clearly! What kind of life is called a First Epoch Life Form?"

Venus: Humanity still believes to this day that the universe began with the Big Bang. If you insist on calling it a bang, that's fine, but the form of the explosion is different from your understanding.

Jiang Yu: "You don't need to explain this, we've encountered Four-dimensional Fragment, and know how the three-dimensional universe came to be."

Everyone turned perplexed, knowing what? What does that have to do with a Four-dimensional Fragment?

Venus: Alright, it seems the memories of the crew of the Enterprise are correct; the Solar System State does know more! Then you should also know that most civilizations use life dimension reduction to avoid Dimensional Reduction Strikes.

What is life dimension reduction? What is a Dimensional Reduction Strike? Everyone felt like it was all gobbledygook.

Jiang Yu had an epiphany: "Are the so-called First Epoch Life Forms ones that descended from higher dimensions?"

Venus: Correct, but not all necessarily come from the fourth dimension.

Watching Jiang Yu pace back and forth in excitement, Wu Xinghai and the others did not fully grasp why he was excited. They dared not ask and could only stand by quietly, waiting for Jiang Yu to calm down on his own.

Jiang Yu: "Are all First Epoch Life Forms descended from the fourth dimension? Are there no native First Epoch Life Forms from the Three-dimensional World?"

Venus: You can think about that yourself. Celestial bodies in the universe are merely basic particles roughly squashed together. Do you think such things can birth self-awareness? Also, as I mentioned earlier, not all come from the fourth dimension.

Jiang Yu suddenly understood: "There could also be origins from higher dimensions! From which dimension do you come?"

Concerned Venus might refuse to answer, he quickly added, "This is all part of one question: what kind of life form are you exactly?"

Venus: Alright, alright, your cleverness paid off, but I was planning on telling you this information anyway. As I recall, I come from the macroscopic Sixth Dimension.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Did five and six dimensions really exist in the macroscopic sense? You, have you lived from that time until now?"

Venus: Time is a dimension outside of spatial dimensions, time has become irrelevant to me. It's just that each time I reduce dimensions, I don't remember much about the higher dimensions.

Jiang Yu: "Can you talk more specifically about how you achieved that? And do all four-dimensional beings reduce dimensions this way?"
