Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: The Gray Mist Walker's Final Mission

Extraordinary power—this is a force that, in Shen Yu's world, has never truly been proven!

It exists only in legends, myths, or some peculiar phenomena hidden in the corners of reality.

But now, it has appeared so clearly before their eyes.

Not only Cai Xu, who longed to find a solution to the monsters, but even Huang Jingrong standing beside him, at this moment, seemed to gain a deeper understanding of "Multi-dimension."

This concept seems to exist solely to break every "impossible."

However, Shen Yu did not demonstrate further.

"Even if these monsters truly are related to extraordinary powers, that doesn't necessarily mean we must use extraordinary powers to solve them," Shen Yu said. "Let me first establish an alliance with that member from the Martial Arts World, and then study Martial Arts—it's not too late. For now, just give me the Eye Worm Live Body, and I'll see if the Interstellar World has any means to deal with it."

"That's right." Huang Jingrong also reacted, speaking from the side, "The order to transfer the Eye Worm Live Body should have already been issued."

"I've already arranged for its delivery." Although a bit regretful, Cai Xu could distinguish priorities, and couldn't help but curiously ask, "Advisor Shen, you haven't been exposed to extraordinary Martial Arts for very long, right? To achieve that demonstration effect just now—is there some shortcut? Like those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Martial Hero novels?"

Although it's indeed a strange scene: a top biologist earnestly inquiring about the method of cultivating extraordinary Martial Arts.

But from Cai Xu's expression, it was evident that he was absolutely serious.

If it exists, it must have principles.

Scientists are simply people who tirelessly seek the principles behind unknown phenomena.

"The Gray Mist Walker is a special case." Shen Yu explained, "As far as I know, to reach my current level through the normal route takes at least several years of effort—and that's only possible for a select few prodigies. But the existence of the Gray Mist Walker itself breaks convention, with many wondrous aspects—I've only cultivated on the Martial Arts path for one single night."

Huang Jingrong beside him made sure to commit these words to memory.

Whether it was the Martial Arts demonstration, or Shen Yu's words, both would undoubtedly leave a far-reaching impact.

All of this originated from the man before them.

Even now, it made people feel somewhat dazed.

"So, there's no need to worry about my safety, nor do I need any guards," Shen Yu looked again at Huang Jingrong, "I'm probably the safest person in this world. If one day, our civilization is truly destroyed, then I will bear all its heritage, history, and records—wandering through other apocalypses, becoming the tomb bearer of civilization, until death. This is also the final mission of the Gray Mist Messenger."

Indeed, this was the true thought in Shen Yu's heart.

Even though he now held an optimistic outlook for the future, he could not guarantee he could save this civilization.

If that day truly came—when the world, when the civilization was completely destroyed…

Then the tomb bearer of civilization would be his next identity.

He would record everything in this civilization that could be documented.

At the very least, he and the countless Shen Yus would not forget this civilization.

At this moment, everyone present fell silent.

Although Shen Yu claimed to be the safest person in the world, none of them saw any joy on his face.

Safety in solitude is much like the loneliness of longevity—sometimes, it is even a curse.

"We won't let that day come." In the end, Huang Jingrong solemnly made a promise—for himself, and for countless others behind him, "Our civilization will always persist!"

"That's exactly what we're striving to do now." Shen Yu nodded slightly.

Just then, a squad of heavily armed soldiers escorted a black portable safe into the room.

Inside the case was exactly the Eye Worm Live Body that Shen Yu needed!

Finally got it!

"We sealed it with opaque high-strength metal as the main containment, while still preserving an air vent," Cai Xu checked the box thoroughly, especially confirming the numbers on the three black containers inside, before handing the safe over to Shen Yu, "Advisor Shen, I'll leave it to you."

What he handed over was, in theory, the heavy duty that had tormented him for so long.

Yet in this moment, his feelings were far from pleasant—bitter, even.

Because this also proved his own powerlessness.

Shen Yu reached out to accept it, glanced at those around him, and said, "Thank you for your efforts. Now, wait for my good news."

As his words fell, he wasted no time—his figure vanished before them into a swirl of gray mist.

Meanwhile, inside the Gray Mist Space, Interstellar World Shen Yu was already waiting.

"Is that the Eye Worm in there?" He eyed the case in Shen Yu's hand, a thread of eagerness showing in his heart.

In the main world, this thing was a grave threat. But in his world, it could become an asset!

Of course, under normal circumstances, such a life form dies upon entering the space. But it can be resolved by consuming gray mist!

The consumption level seems related to size and intelligence—merely the Eye Worm's dimensions and intellect, it's still acceptable.

"How are things on your end?" Shen Yu asked.

Interstellar World Shen Yu had arrived at the Gray Mist Space early, not just to wait for Shen Yu.

He was also making preparations pertaining to his own world.

To be honest, what Shen Yu had accomplished in Human Civilization was far easier in comparison.

In the interstellar world, every person has a chip implanted in their brain. If willing, everything they see and do can be recorded—fabrication is difficult.

Under these conditions, the only way to fabricate the existence of the "Multi-Dimensional Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association," is to rely on the omnipotent gray mist.

Just now, Interstellar World Shen Yu had been busily handling this, aided by the emergency gray mist provided by Shen Yu—inside the Gray Mist Space, the gray mist was running low.

Whether for practical needs or for development, they both urgently needed results—and a new supply of gray mist!

"Don't worry, I know my world better than anyone," Interstellar World Shen Yu said, taking the case. "It doesn't take much gray mist just to fabricate memory programs—the real consumption happens when automatically perfecting detail and logic. Just wait for my good news—it won't take long."

"All right!" Shen Yu could see the confidence in Interstellar World Shen Yu; the pressure in his heart was immediately lightened.

He knew himself well enough—if he wasn't sure, he would never say such things.

Frankly, Shen Yu felt that the three types of monsters currently plaguing his world wouldn't pose much of a challenge for the Interstellar Civilization.

It all depends on how much support Interstellar World Shen Yu can obtain!

At this moment, Interstellar World Shen Yu took a deep breath and vanished from the Gray Mist Space.

When he appeared again, it was inside a room.

The room was very simple and tidy, with no specific light source, yet it was suffused with gentle radiance.
