“Wen Jin, aren’t you coming with us?” On Planet GHC580, a sweet-looking young girl was reaching out with concern toward the white-haired, golden-eyed young man before her, doing everything she could to invite him onto the aircraft and leave this world on the verge of collapse together with her.
At that time, Wen Jin was still a “young man” who had “reincarnated” fewer than ten times, and back then, he had yet to figure out the specifics of his ability.
Faced with the girl’s heartfelt invitation, the heart that had originally developed a few cracks from multiple instances of [Destruction] suddenly felt a trace of warmth.
And so…
he took the initiative to hold that fair hand.
For the first time…
but not the last, he tried to resist his own “Destiny.” He attempted to flee this planet before its destruction, rather than “witness” it.
GHC580 was a standard habitable planet, and it had not been incorporated into the Intergalactic Trade System of the Company.
The level of technology here had not even reached the first-level civilization rating used throughout the Universe.
However, through another method, they had calculated the lifespan of their planet, and long before Wen Jin arrived, they had already made preparations in advance.
Yet even a planet that had been completely prepared for doomsday in this way was ultimately unable to break free from [Destruction].
Just like him…
When he first looked down upon the destruction of a planet from his own perspective, there was no doubt that his heart was filled with secret delight at that time.
Because he knew that this would be the beginning of his brand-new life in this universe.
From that moment on, no more [Destruction] would occur, and he could also use this low-level spaceship to escape to a nearby planet, creating a new home together with the people of GHC580.
But this secret delight did not last long.
In fact…
it failed to let him live even an extra day or two.
Misfortune followed closely behind him like maggots clinging to bone.
After the surface of the entire planet GHC580 was “plowed” once by the high-energy ion flow erupting from within, everything on that planet changed.
The traces that had once belonged to civilization were erased by the great hand of nature.
Under such power, the remaining people could only secretly rejoice aboard the spaceships, rejoicing that they had possessed foresight and secured themselves a way out in advance.
But…
just as numerous spaceships began accelerating around the planet’s orbit, attempting to reach escape velocity, an accident occurred.
The planet that should have completed its “metamorphosis” suddenly changed once again.
The “core,” which had already ceased its activity, began to become active once more, as if some kind of “second phase” had been activated…
Wen Jin could only watch helplessly as that devastated land gradually split apart, as dazzling white light burst out from the crust, and as the entire planet began to tremble.
Immediately after!
The second [Destruction] descended!
Compared to the first [Destruction], which had practically “renovated” the planet, the second destruction would be even more thorough, and completely fatal!
As that white light gradually expanded, the entire planet GHC580 seemed to reach some sort of threshold, and in an instant, it exploded with a thunderous roar!
Wen Jin rarely used a “fragmentation grenade” to describe a planet, but the tragic scene that had already happened before his eyes made him subconsciously connect the two.
At the same time, a massive fragment with an area of several dozen kilometers was flying toward their spaceship at extreme speed.
As a spaceship originating from a civilization that had yet to reach level one, its poor and backward propulsion system simply could not perform any effective evasion in space.
They could only watch helplessly as that piece of “debris” turned into a moving “giant wall” in the span of a few seconds and came crashing toward them head-on.
In the end…
just like the dozen or so times before, when Wen Jin woke up again, he had already changed planets.
And that damned Destruction was still following behind him, never stopping for even a moment!
…
“Wen Jin, aren’t you coming with us?” Ignoring the dissuasion of her companions, the girl before him stretched out her fair hands toward Wen Jin and invited him with utmost sincerity.
It was he who had foreseen the signal that their planet was about to be destroyed in advance, and after they carried out a round of verification, they discovered that this alien’s prophecy was not baseless.
And so, before the countdown to the planet’s destruction, the girl chose to invite Wen Jin to leave this world on the verge of destruction together with her.
He was not someone from this world, and had no obligation to walk with this world until the very end.
But…
Wen Jin merely stared at the girl’s serious face, his golden eyes lingering in reminiscence for a long time.
In the end, he still shook his head slightly and refused the girl’s kindness.
This time…
he did not choose to hold the girl’s hand.
Instead, before dawn rose, he turned and left.
Although the girl felt puzzled by this, the crisis of survival was already imminent.
Since Wen Jin had not agreed to board the ship, she could not force him.
And so, under Wen Jin’s gaze, they left.
Wen Jin gazed at the meteors on the horizon.
Behind him, a blazing sun slowly rising swallowed up his silhouette.
In the end…
those golden flames burned everything to ashes…
…
So…
When this IPC employee asked her “naive” question, Wen Jin merely laughed self-deprecatingly, then asked her back with a relaxed expression: “If I could leave first, would you invite me to Pier-Point?
I heard the IPC headquarters on Pier-Point is extremely magnificent.
If there were a chance, I’d really like to [visit] it.” After saying this, Wen Jin shook his head almost emotionally, his face filled with regret.
After hearing these words, that IPC receptionist also gave an extremely awkward smile at this moment.
That’s right…
even if this person could leave before the world was destroyed, so what?
Wherever he went, he would bring the omen of [Destruction].
With such power, it was destined that he would become the “most unwelcome” person in the entire Universe.
As for this person’s so-called “going to Pier-Point”…
Placed in the present day, those words were practically the unluckiest words in the entire Universe.
She did not know about other places, but over on the Xianzhou Alliance’s side, Wen Jin’s photo had nearly evolved to the point where Xianzhou Natives would hang it at their doors to ward off evil.
But if you actually made Wen Jin appear at their doorstep, they would definitely tear that photo down with expressionless faces at the very first moment, then hug Wen Jin’s thigh while sobbing with snot and tears, begging him to go back wherever he came from!
Wen Jin: “I’d love to go back, but I’m afraid that if I go back now, Earth will explode before even a day passes!” And if an existence like this, someone almost known to every household within the Xianzhou Alliance and whose appearance inside the Interastral Peace Corporation was equivalent to a “red alert,” appeared on Pier-Point…
At that time, the IPC’s upper echelons would probably be crying as they gripped Wen Jin’s hand, thanking him while packing up their belongings.
Of course, if Qlipoth were to unleash THEIR mighty power, then it would probably only save them the part where they had to pack up their belongings.
In other words…
They would still have to cry.
