The Heavens: A Civilization Mentor of a Certain Trisolaran

Chapter 26 Human Civilization: Cheng Xin, Activate!

The Trisolaran civilization is taking action, and so is human civilization.

Cheng Yuan's attempt to have the Trisolarans spread propaganda within human civilization, which incited distrust among ordinary people towards the higher-ups, did not achieve the desired effect.

First, the official human authorities were quick to refute the rumors; second, the apocalyptic war had only been going on for a few years, and humanity had a high level of trust in the authorities, especially with Luo Ji, the savior, standing up for them.

Aside from causing some unrest and protests, there weren't many significant results, but Cheng Yuan didn't care much, as he hadn't expected much success anyway.

His aim is to muddy the waters of human civilization, create trouble for the officials of human civilization, distract them, and keep them guessing what he wants to do.

Of course, if the propaganda is a great success and humanity itself removes Luo Ji from his position as the Swordholder, or forces Luo Ji to extend the thirty-day period, that would be even better.

The Trisolaran migration is proceeding at full speed. Even without Luo Ji's deterrence, Cheng Yuan would still order the Trisolaran civilization to migrate to the Alien world, because he really doesn't feel safe staying in the Trisolaran universe.

Although a civilization of the "Zero-Returner" level has not yet discovered him, if they were to discover him one day, the Trisolaran civilization, with its current strength, would not be able to protect him.

As the saying goes, "A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall." Knowing that the Three-Body universe is more dangerous than the Alien universe, why not move to the Alien universe?

In the solar system, human civilization is also migrating. They have no other dimensions to go to, so they are selecting people to board ships and fly into outer space.

If the thirty-day period expires and the Trisolaran world fails to provide an explanation, Luo Ji will press the switch, and Earth will be destroyed by the Dark Forest attack. Those who left will then serve as seeds for the continuation of human civilization.

Just like the choice made by the Trisolarans after Cheng Yuan traveled to the Trisolaran planet, even if the mother star system is to be destroyed, the seeds of civilization will still exist.

Besides immigration, human civilization has truly awakened Cheng Xin.

When Cheng Yuan saw this scene through Zhi Zi, he was speechless: I am really not Yun Tianming.

Speaking of Yun Tianming, his brain had been captured by the Second Fleet, but Cheng Yuan did not order his recovery. Instead, he ordered the Second Fleet to take his brain to Earth.

Cheng Xin is very beautiful, but what is most attractive about her is not her appearance, but her temperament—gentle, pure, and full of approachability.

Many people's first impression of her is: she is a harmless and beautiful girl, and all the shining qualities of humanity seem to have gathered in her.

At this moment, she was wearing a white dress, sitting in a conference room reviewing documents. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, giving off a sense of tranquility.

In addition to Cheng Xin, Shen Xuwen, the head of the Psychological Counseling Department of the Solar System Fleet, was also in the conference room.

Cheng Xin was looking at the documents, while she was looking at Cheng Xin, or rather, observing her: This was a very harmless and beautiful girl who would evoke a strange protective instinct in men.

Hopefully, she can leverage Yun Tianming's position within the Trisolaran civilization to bring about some change.

After numerous analyses and demonstrations, they concluded that the human in the Trisolaran civilization was Yun Tianming, or rather, could only be Yun Tianming.

The information Cheng Xin was looking at was all of Yun Tianming's records from childhood to adulthood, including his unhappiness during his childhood and adolescence, his unspoken crush on her in college, his misfortune of being diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer, and how he bought a star for her through the "Star Project," and finally, he agreed to her request and sent his brain alone into the universe.

Seeing the information in the documents that she herself didn't know, Cheng Xin would sometimes shed tears. It turned out that besides her adoptive parents, there was another person in the world who loved him so much, but she had personally sent him into the dark universe, leaving him to drift alone outside of Earth.

Cheng Xin's tears flowed uncontrollably. Shen Xuwen, who was sitting opposite her, handed her a tissue. She whispered, "Thank you!" and continued watching through her tears.

When Cheng Xin saw that Yun Tianming's brain might have been captured by the Trisolarans and his body had been restored, she felt a surge of joy and was happy for Yun Tianming.

But when she saw that Yun Tianming was suspected of betraying human civilization and helping the Trisolarans to fight against human civilization, she felt sad.

Cheng Xin bit her lip, her eyes dim: "Is it because you felt I abandoned you that you joined the Three-Body world and helped them target us?"

After reviewing the documents, Cheng Xin looked up at Shen Xuwen and asked gently, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Shen Xuwen said, "Ms. Cheng Xin, Wenming is facing another crisis, and we hope you can step forward to help us. This is not a mandatory order, but a request."

"I know this may be difficult for you, but if the crisis is not resolved, everyone on Earth will die—that's billions of lives."

Shen Xuwen got up and drew back the curtains in the conference room, letting in the view outside; it was sunset.

Looking around, Cheng Xin could only see a cluster of tall buildings bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, but that didn't stop her from imagining elderly people exercising in the park, young children toddling on the grass under the careful care of their parents, and young couples walking hand in hand on the street...

Thinking about all this, she shed tears again. This was their human civilization, this was the beauty she wanted to protect forever.

With his back to the setting sun, Shen Xuwen said to her sincerely, "Mr. Yun Tianming's love for you is very deep. Now, only you have the potential to persuade Mr. Yun Tianming."

Cheng Xin took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Minister Shen, I understand. I will do my best to persuade him!"

Shen Xuwen bowed to Cheng Xin, "Ms. Cheng Xin, thank you for your righteousness!"

Shen Xuwen left, leaving Cheng Xin alone in the conference room. She sat on the chair for a long time until the twilight outside turned into night and lights illuminated the earth.

In ancient times, when our ancestors mastered fire, they were no longer so afraid of the darkness of the night.

Looking at the lights outside, Cheng Xin mustered her courage and softly called out to the air in front of her, "Tianming, are you there?"

Hearing her call, Cheng Yuan really wanted Zhi Zi to type a reply: Yes, I've always been here, I'm the one who reigns supreme for eternity.

Undeterred by the lack of a reply, Cheng Xin continued, "Tianming, I know you're watching from the Trisolaran world. Could you please reply to me? The Trisolaran civilization and human civilization can coexist; there's no need for things to have come to this."

"Why must we fight to the death? Why can't we develop together towards the future? The universe is vast, vast enough for our two civilizations to coexist."

Instead of starting with Yun Tianming's love for her, Cheng Xin went straight to the point that the two civilizations could coexist.

"Life is the most precious thing in the world. Whether it is the life of the Trisolarans or our lives, every life should have a beautiful experience, rather than perish in the struggle..."

Cheng Xin spoke sincerely, but apart from her voice, no one responded in the conference room.
