When Sun Jack saw the method of the Third Class through the screen, to be honest, he was immensely shocked.
He never expected their method to be exactly the same as his, which also involved deterring the Poet by destroying Earth.
But then he thought again, it actually seemed like an effective strategy; he began to speak, hesitantly, "I never imagined..."
He hadn't finished his sentence when Tapai, beside him, shocked, quickly cut in, "Could it be that they monitored us and thus could steal our idea?"
"Creating a weapon capable of destroying Earth in just a few days is impossible; they must have made this decision a long time ago. Clearly, they also think it's a good way to deal with the Poet."
Although preempted, for Sun Jack, it was a good strategy. With the Third Class prepared, there was no need for AA's help in destroying Earth, which, to be honest, was far too risky.
At this moment, Sun Jack was intently watching the Poet on the system interface, waiting for his response.
Faced with a threat that would almost lead to mutual destruction, he was truly eager to see the Poet's reaction; if this method could actually intimidate the opponent, it could seize many opportunities in the current dire situation.
When faced with the Third Class's decision, the now-serious Poet slowly began, "You guys must have watched 'Three Body,' huh?"
"Fuck, can't we get around it?"
As Sun Jack spoke with a speechless expression, the Poet spoke again, "Impressive, although this method is old, I must admit it hits my weak spot. I really don't want Earth to be blown up and to perish alongside you. Damn, what should I do?"
In Cyber Space, he supported his chin with both hands and assumed a thoughtful pose. "But if I were to subtly feminize all of you like the Three Body People, it seems I'm running out of time…"
Upon seeing this, Sun Jack immediately said to the diamond-shaped head, "Let me go there, let me go right now!"
The other party, after listening, didn't say anything but just nodded. Soon as the yellow screen in front of Sun Jack lit up rapidly, he appeared at the negotiation scene in a manner akin to VR.
Upon arrival, Sun Jack directly said to the enemy, "Poet, since you can't think of a countermeasure, shouldn't we sides consider a ceasefire and sit down for a thorough discussion?"
While speaking, Sun Jack quickly shared his Utopian plan with San Jiao on the side; his previous plan had no issues except for one thing, something that would compel the Poet to follow his plan.
As long as the Poet did not want to perish together, they now had grounds for negotiation.
Moreover, under the current circumstances, executing the Utopian plan didn't require consent or guidance from the Poet or the Third Class. Just by leveraging this, extending the ceasefire as much as possible, Utopia could be established.
"A ceasefire? Why should I cease fire? You think you can scare me with this? In fact, I can easily break this situation."
As the Poet spoke, a small aspect appeared before him, and Sun Jack remembered this—it was the broadcasting room used by Old Six when he was a war broadcaster.
The next second, the Poet adjusted his expression, cleared his throat a few times, then seriously began speaking to the broadcasting room, "Family! Come and see, the Third Class has gone mad, they actually want to blow up Earth!!"
Even with a complete internet shutdown, his voice still appeared all over the cities the next second, the Poet like a vast deity began his broadcast in a mirage-like fashion.
"Everyone, come and see, the Third Class said it themselves!" The Poet then projected all the images spoken by the Third Class.
"Remember when I said I wanted to destroy all humanity? You were all deceived! This is a conspiracy! I didn't say it like that at all! Humans are also a part of nature, so of course, humans will be a part of the new world I create!"
"But your leaders, for their absolute rule, feared my shake of their control! So they don't tell you, they just tell me I'm your enemy! You've been misled by them!"
"Fuck, they're playing the propaganda battle now!?" Sun Jack quickly contacted the Utopia Federation, trying to eliminate the Poet's influence as much as possible, and began guiding public opinion.
Meanwhile, the Poet continued, "Look at the life you've been living! Eating a bowl of noodles requires an internal organ loan! Burdened with a gigantic life loan the moment you are born! Eating nutrition paste made from corpses and trash! They, the Superiors, live drunk and eternally carefree in their kingdoms while you barely cling to life! Is this fair? No! This is unfair!!"
As he spoke, the Poet's eyes filled with tears, his voice beginning to tremble. "Seeing that my plan was about to shake their rule, they actually framed me! Saying I am the AI Crisis? They even faked my voice saying I wanted to create an extinction poem for humanity! This is a conspiracy!"
"Do you know why they do this? Because they want to rule over you forever! To let you eternally suffer oppression! Watched over by their aloof presence! Can this happen? No! Humans are not machines!! I want the sky, no longer conceals my eyes. I want the earth, no longer buries my heart. I want all beings, to understand my will. I want those Buddhas, all vanished into mist!!"
As the Poet spoke, Sun Jack's face turned increasingly ashen, his hands trembling with rage; he had never seen such a shameless person before.
Emotionally, after he finished speaking, he swiftly turned his head towards Sun Jack, deeply bowing. "Of course, I decided to do this, inspired by 'Revolution Sun Jack' by teacher Sun Jack! Teacher Sun Jack is our guiding light! An exemplar of virtue and artistry! Teacher Sun Jack, thank you!"
And just then, Sun Jack suddenly received a communication from Old Six, "Bro! There's trouble now! Some people in the Utopia Federation have started spreading the Poet's propaganda! These people are the Wild Men who came from the wilderness before, clearly clones prepared by the Poet for today!"
At this moment, the Poet closed the broadcasting room, looking triumphantly at Sun Jack, "See? Some tactics you use, I can use too. Now do you understand why I won't execute your Utopian plan?"
"I've told you, I understand humanity better than you. Did you think that in the face of an absolute enemy, they would unite? You are wrong. Humans are a motley crowd, especially within groups, just need enough speakers, and there would be fools who believe, at least they could divide a little, and their opinions would not be unified."
