Chapter 568: Chapter 421: The Node of Destiny_2

It was Zhuang Ying.

Zhuang Ying was now among the top three figures in the scouting department, having reached the Sixth Stage in strength. Under normal circumstances, he should have been stationed at the Mother Planet, overseeing scouting missions across Parallel Universes. However, his development path was not one of oversight; rather, he was more committed to frontline scouting missions.

Thus, upon his own request, he was eventually appointed an ambassador and assigned to this Universe.

At this moment, he found himself within a rather average Civilization.

This Civilization had once had its moment of glory. Technological development had reached into space, but the advancement did not bring positive effects. Instead, it fortified the power and strength of those in command, turning this civilization into a textbook “oppressor civilization.”

The people at the bottom of society lived lives worse than death.

However, that was all in the past.

About several hundred years ago, aligning with a similar fateful node as another Universe’s Space Undead outbreak, an Undead Crisis had also occurred here. It was an Undead virus that swept through the lower classes, directly threatening the upper echelons.

But the commoners who, by chance, had taken control of the “Cup of the Undead” at that time, were eventually wiped out.

The Cup of the Undead was also subsequently collected and taken away by the Yatai people.

A potential widespread crisis that could have engulfed the entire Universe was thus nipped in the bud right at its onset.

“This is how fateful nodes diverge,” Shen Hao was clear on this, but what he wanted to know was whether there were other repercussions behind it.

Or rather, whether the outbreak of the Space Undead Crisis was entirely coincidental.

Zhuang Ying was personally in charge of this matter.

After the Yatai Civilization departed, the former high-level officials of this civilization had been thoroughly purged. But even now, the whole society seemed to have entirely forgotten that past disaster.

The lower-class people were still utterly worthless, subjected to even stricter control and utterly deprived of freedom.

To the extent that, among those people, the “Demon” who brought about the death of billions back then had become a legend.

They even longed for the emergence of a new Demon.

Zhuang Ying effortlessly obtained all the intelligence about the “Demon.”

“Named Mos, he was a poor kid living in the industrial district. Both his parents had died from diseases caused by industrial labor. Before he encountered the Cup of the Undead, he had also endured about seven years of hard labor. The Cup of the Undead was something he had picked up from the ruins…” The results of Zhuang Ying’s investigation were very detailed, “Initially, the Undead that were released were not so powerful and did not possess viral contagion capabilities. But Mos harbored enormous malice towards society, especially those in high positions, so after being brutally beaten by the management, he finally erupted, granting the Undead the ability to infect others.”

As Shen Hao read the report, he felt like he was watching a movie.

Because everything involved too many coincidences.

The Cup of the Undead, originally hidden underground, was fortuitously dug up, then it was fortuitously thrown into a rubbish heap, and then by some fluke, it was discovered by such a person, and even initially controlled…

Any single link in the chain gone awry could have prevented the Undead Crisis from occurring at this node.

But all the steps preceding this event had occurred identically in another Universe.

The only difference was at a certain moment afterward.

“The Undead Disaster first erupted on this planet with extreme severity, killing too many people. As the number of Undead grew, the Cup of the Undead’s power also became stronger. Under normal circumstances, there would be no one on this planet capable of stopping it. The fateful node lay in the choice made by Mos’s sister,” Zhuang Ying noted an important figure in his report.

That would be Mos’s sister.

Indeed, Mos had a sister. Even in such an environment, he still loved his sister dearly, trying his best to protect her. This, in turn, allowed the sister to feel some warmth and a bit more kindness.

Therefore, after seeing Mos kill so many people, who were also from the lower class, Mos’s sister killed her own brother who had become a “Demon.”

Undoubtedly, even though it was not clear what transpired in the Space Undead Universe, such a scene did not happen.

It was this that led to such a drastic divergence in the fates of two Universes.

—The choice of an ordinary little girl.

“Fate is indeed full of irony,” Shen Hao frowned slightly after reading the entire report.

He didn’t find any trace of manipulation; it seemed as though this was a critical node predetermined by fate, meant to create divergent branches in the timeline.

However, considering other coincidences, Shen Hao had a vague sense that he was seeing the traces of a “script.”

Not a script of natural drama, but one of artificial creation.

Suppose all initial destinies of the parallel universes were being continuously controlled by a single hand… that would truly be the real Controller of this multi-dimensional parallel universe.

“Continue exploring other critical nodes that lead to the birth of different timelines,” Shen Hao assigned a task to Zhuang Ying.

Although Human Civilization’s primary exploration was limited to three universes, it did not mean the preliminary exploration of other universes would cease.

Scouts were still persistently dispersed into various parallel universes.

Some of them were obviously similar to the Space Undead Universe.

Like the Mechanical Crisis Universe, which was the result of scientist Severus’s runaway blackening.

The node occurred when he first merged with the Mechanical Heart, a node that had also happened in this ordinary universe, and could be investigated for past events.

With comparisons to draw upon, similar nodes became easier to locate.

Possessing this intelligence could help Human Civilization gain a deeper understanding of this multi-dimensional parallel universe’s “fate”!

Notably, to minimize disturbance to fate, Shen Hao requested Zhuang Ying’s operation be covert.

Thus, aside from intelligence, there wasn’t much else to gain from this ordinary universe.

Lastly, Shen Hao turned his attention to the third universe.

This was the most powerful universe discovered so far—the United Universe.

A United Conference also emerged within the United Universe, but not as a result of a crisis.

It was born at the moment “Ying” first gained power.

In this universe, Ying, upon acquiring power, didn’t choose to become a Cosmic Hero. Instead, he believed that only order could save the universe and took the path of constructing that order.

He established the United Conference early on, initially a solitary member, then he enlisted the Witch, co-opted the Yatai Emperor, and eventually, even included the Ancient Gods.

Throughout the entire history, Ying seemed almost divinely aided.

He not only demonstrated great power but also commanded persuasive and trustworthy justice, coupled with various coincidences, and eventually, he truly built an order that ruled the entire universe.

Under this order, the whole universe became even more powerful.

Based on what was scouted so far, all of the “Classic Characters” in this universe were enhanced versions.

Scientist Severus even abandoned the “Mechanical Man” image often seen in other universes, instead, he transformed into a massive mechanical planet!

Countless new technologies were birthed on this planet every day, then rapidly disseminated to the entire United Conference.

The Witch also became incredibly powerful, no longer the uncontrolled figure she once was, but now truly commanding her own power, revealing her true form.

She could even use magic to swiftly create flourishing, colossal Life Planets!

The Yatai could use their Spirit to accurately locate anyone across dozens of star systems.

The Emperor of the Giant Empire could smash a star with a single punch!

…

All other members among the Seven Giants received similar levels of enhancement!
