Chapter 1310: Chapter 1002: Guarantee

Looking back at the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom today.

It caused not just the collapse of Utopia, but also altered the rules set by an era, a change that reached deep into Hell.

Calling it a collapse would not be an exaggeration.

No place escaped the aftermath of a mansion’s downfall.

Though the division brought by the Golden Dawn was a crucial juncture, it was merely a trigger; ultimately pushing Utopia to the brink was the Fourth Project·Heavenly Kingdom, once heavily anticipated.

The First Project·Great Secret: Chalatustra spoke thus, replacing the rules of the gods.

The Second Project·Rainbow Bridge linked Current Circumstances and the Borderland, achieving true integration of the whole world.

The Third Project·Sea of Silver bestowed upon humanity a shared soul, pervasive and omnipresent, suppressing all invasive toxins and protecting each individual’s will to the greatest extent.

Each one was an unprecedented achievement.

Even the Fourth Project·Heavenly Kingdom, which Utopia never completed.

It integrated all traces and event records of the world, encompassing all valuable souls and event essences in a library, preserving all true wisdom and history; further, it could extract imprints left by all heroes and sages, iterating and evolving to create a Savior-like existence without exaggeration.

"In fact, this was merely the first stage of the Heavenly Kingdom."

During a long journey, Luo Su once told Huai Shi this: "If so, at best, it is a work completed over time, though great, but not deserving to be called the Fourth Project."

Even though so exaggerated, it was only the foundation of something truly great.

A blueprint.

A key to the future.

An experimental product.

"The true purpose of the Fourth Project is to use human power to create the true Heavenly Kingdom."

"The true Heavenly Kingdom?" Huai Shi listened with confusion, "The kind where milk and honey flow in rivers?"

"I wasn’t a core participant, so I can’t describe it to you in detail, but after the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom, I met a Man in Grey once, asking the same question as you."

Luo Su smoked a cigar and sighed softly: "The Man in Grey told me—the so-called Heavenly Kingdom is a world where Hell doesn’t exist."

This is the true purpose of the Fourth Project, as well as Utopia’s ultimate goal, the origin of the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy’s name, and its significance as a tool of existence.

Escape the cycle of life and death in Current Circumstances, no longer needing to destroy the world and then reshape it.

But a final farewell to Hell.

Create a brand new world without Hell.

Even Luo Su, after years of pursuit and exploration, could not imagine how to realize this despairing wish.

How to do it, how to achieve it, using what method to reach this goal.

Everything has already become a mystery following the disappearance of the last Astronomical Association President.

No, perhaps it was already doomed to fail when the Heavenly Kingdom fell.

Because of the Golden Dawn’s betrayal, the Heavenly Kingdom initially contained the seeds of aberration, holding the potential to become an Element of Destruction.

During the long creation process, it hid in the shadows, absorbing nutrients, slowly germinating and spreading.

Until the moment the Heavenly Kingdom was truly trial-run, the aberration from Hell erupted from within, spreading terrifying pollution that instantly engulfed Current Circumstances Borderland and Hell.

All institutions and critical equipment connected to the Heavenly Kingdom welcomed the erosion without defense.

Whether it was the Supreme Terminal gathering fifteen percent of the world’s computing power, institutions distributed across Current Circumstances, or ivory tower logistics base, or deep Hell outposts.

Every place was pierced by this sharp blade from behind.

To minimize this destruction to a bearable extent, countless people made great sacrifices, but the result of Utopia’s collapse was still unavoidable.

And at the final ending, Peron, originally the Heaven Kingdom’s Guard, forsook his duty, completely destroying the Heavenly Kingdom preserved after so much sacrifice.

Henceforth, wandering the border, he became the leader of Green Day.

Seventy years later, the pain brought by the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom to the Astronomical Society has not been healed.

And seventy years ago, chaos also erupted in Hell. As the Heavenly Kingdom transformed into the Element of Destruction, all precious event records briefly slipped into chaos and madness.

And to isolate the chaos, the Source Network managed by the Three Sages had to harshly sever itself from Current Circumstances for the Borderland, yet the pollution was unavoidable.

To this day, the darknet remains a focal monitoring target of the Jurisdiction Bureau; once the Three Sages are no longer capable of controlling the residual toxin’s spread, it must be completely destroyed to prevent its metamorphosis into an Element of Destructive.

Meanwhile, most spirits chose to leave the Heavenly Kingdom to preserve themselves, with their whereabouts unknown to this day. Or, plainly like Second Fifth Ye Zhi who directly transformed into the Golden Dawn.

Worse yet, the ’deep reversal’ phenomenon triggered by the failure of defense measures.

Numerous deep levels in the Abyss sparked chain reactions, awakening dozens of sleeping Rulers, and the chaotic Hell Swarm caused disasters spanning dozens of depths.
