Rou Yi asked with some worry, "Will we turn to ashes like that white-haired monster after touching the meteorite...?"

What worried Rou Yi was the strong visual impact of the white-haired monster turning into ashes.

Rou Yi's question was actually meaningless, because as Han Yu said, entering the meteorite was the same as giving up one's life and offering one's memories to another civilization.

Han Yu patted Rou Yi on the shoulder and sighed, "You die the moment you touch the meteorite, so there's no need to worry too much about what form it takes..."

Hearing Han Yu's explanation, Rou Yi's eyes became empty and dull. She suddenly felt a pang of sorrow and murmured, "We've worked so hard and struggled for so many years, but we haven't solved anything. And in the end, it's still like this..."

Rou Yi's words also represented the feelings of Han Yu and Fatty.

Han Yu smiled wryly at Zhao Chenguang and said, "Young Master, what a great tactic. I realize now that you used the conflict between the white-haired monster and you just now to put on a show for us, just to see if we had any more trump cards, right?"

"Hahahaha hahahahaha..."

Zhao Chenguang's thunderous laughter echoed throughout the space again, this time even more unbridled and arrogant.

"Han Yu – Dr. Han, how should I praise you? You are truly a peerless genius. I believe your reaction and insight are unmatched on Earth!" Zhao Chenguang sneered, "That's right, if I didn't show you an opening, how could you honestly reveal your trump cards?"

Bluffing...

In casinos, bluffing refers to a tactic used by casino operators or gamblers to deliberately create an atmosphere by loudly clamoring, flaunting wealth, and boasting about their odds of winning, in order to create a tense and exciting atmosphere and stimulate gamblers' desire to gamble, increasing the amount and frequency of their bets.

Zhao Chenguang undoubtedly used the white-haired monster to stage a bluffing act, and Han Yu and the others, like lab rats, inadvertently fell into Zhao Chenguang's trap, resulting in the loss of An Wenshan.

Zhao Chenguang's tone was somewhat smug as he said, "How could the valve of a high-level civilization be designed so simply? Domesticated livestock only know 'path dependence.' How can a female herder's 'food bowl' be compared to a complete 'fire seed' civilization?"

Zhao Chenguang's words implied the origin of the white-haired monster.

Han Yu inferred from Zhao Chenguang's words that Xi Wangmu used the meteorite energy not only to cultivate a large number of asexual beings here to comprehend the mysteries of the Eight Trigrams, but also to cultivate the Kunlun apes into the white-haired monsters they had seen.

In such a primitive "research field," both "researchers" and "thugs" were equipped. It must be said that Xi Wangmu had a mindset that surpassed that era.

It's just a pity that high-level civilizations are incredibly cruel when facing low-level civilizations.

When a high-level civilization needs it, it erects a statue in a low-level civilization. When this statue loses its usefulness, it is smashed and destroyed, ruthless, unfeeling, and hard-hearted.

Zhao Chenguang's expression suddenly changed as he threatened the three of them, saying, "As humans, everyone has something called dignity. I've given you enough dignity. Now, I want to ask – are you going to embrace advanced civilization voluntarily, or should I beat you half to death and throw you in there like livestock?"

Knowing that they couldn't escape or hide, Rou Yi and Fatty exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness and despair. They could only droop their heads and accept their fate.

"Let me be the first to do this dirty work," Fatty said.

Fatty raised his hand, signaling that he would "go to his death" first.

Fatty knew that there was no way to turn the tide, but he still wanted to do something for everyone, at least lead by example. Of course, that was the only thing he could do now.

"Hold on..." Han Yu grabbed Fatty's arm and stopped him. "Let me go first. Since we're going to come into contact with advanced civilization, let me be the first to taste the crab among the three of us... If there is still a history of Earth in another civilization in the future, I hope that the history books will record that I was the first human being other than Zhao Chenguang to know about alien advanced civilization."

Han Yu easily convinced Fatty. Anyway, they were seeking death, so there wasn't much difference between who went first and who went later.

Zhao Chenguang was very satisfied with Han Yu's enlightenment. "Please, Dr. Han!"

Han Yu raised her head, like a warrior going to her death with determination. She glanced at Zhao Chenguang with disdain.

Han Yu said "I'm leaving" to Fatty and Rou Yi, and then walked straight towards the warm yellow meteorite.

Han Yu's back was so sacred and so desolate in the eyes of Fatty and Rou Yi. Every step she took towards the meteorite was actually her final farewell to this world.

Saying goodbye to her parents, saying goodbye to her friends, saying goodbye to her mentors, saying goodbye to everyone.

Go, go.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

Han Yu recalled the scene of Li Decha sacrificing himself to save her and felt emotional. If there really was someone who could make her willing to sacrifice herself, who would it be?

Was it Fatty?

Was it Rou Yi?

Was it her parents?

Or someone else?

Han Yu sighed softly, stood in front of the warm yellow meteorite, and didn't want to think about it anymore...

Anyway, it was just a matter of a moment.

Han Yu raised her head and asked the head hanging in the air, "Zhao Chenguang, I just need to put my hand on the meteorite, right?"

Zhao Chenguang said, "Yes, it's very simple. Just put your hand on the 'fire seed'."

"Okay!" Han Yu nodded heavily. She turned around, smiled at Fatty and Rou Yi, "I'm leaving~"
