A 10,000-fold Increase System, Picking Up Garbage and Becoming a Technology Giant

133: Chapter 133 Beyond the Cycle and the Beginning of New LifeHour Zero of the Sower’s harvester ship arriving in Earth’s orbit.

It did not attack immediately.

The giant ship, composed of countless rotating geometric shapes, hovered silently beyond the lunar orbit like a newborn celestial body.

Seen from Earth, it was slightly smaller than the moon, but its light was colder—not reflected sunlight, but a cold, silver-white glow emanating from itself.

All of humanity was waiting for the first wave of attacks to arrive.

But the attack did not come. Instead, a message was received.

It was not an electromagnetic wave, nor a quantum signal, but a form of telepathy that acted directly on the consciousness of Evolvers worldwide. It was gentle yet undeniable, like someone whispering softly in one’s ear.

”Leader of the seventh cycle, Chen Fan. I am the representative of the Sowers; you may call me Heng Shu. I request a dialogue with you, privately.”

This voice held no hostility, no threat; it was as calm as discussing the weather.

But the sense of power contained within it sent a chill through everyone who received it—this was not a request, but a declaration.

Chen Fan looked at the giant ship floating in space on the screen and remained silent for three seconds.

”Xiao Zhi, establish an isolated communication channel. Just him and me.”

”This might be a trap,” Su Qingyue said worriedly.

”If they were going to attack, they would have done so long ago.” Chen Fan shook his head. ”And... I want to hear what he has to say.”

The channel was established.

A figure appeared on the main screen of the command center.

It was not a physical entity, nor a holographic projection, but a more advanced form of manifestation—as if space itself were ”depicting” an existence.

He looked to be in his thirties, wearing a simple white robe without any ornamentation.

Most striking were his eyes: pure silver, without pupils, like two perfectly polished beads of mercury.

”Hello, Chen Fan.” Heng Shu nodded slightly, his movements as elegant as a gentleman’s. ”First, allow me to express my respect. Your ability to stand here and speak with me means you have accomplished three things: first, you found the Star Core Crystal and understood its nature; second, you integrated the legacies of the previous six cycles; and third, most importantly—you allowed the life of this cycle to achieve resonance.”

His voice was converted into human language by the translation system, but Chen Fan could feel that the essence of that voice transcended language, directly conveying concepts.

”What do you want to say?” Chen Fan asked directly.

”I want to tell you some truths,” Heng Shu said calmly, ”and... congratulate you.”

”Congratulate?”

”Yes.” A glint seemed to flash in Heng Shu’s silver eyes. ”For three billion years, Earth has undergone six complete cycles of civilization. Every cycle chose to resist after discovering the truth of the harvest, but none were like yours—it was not a resistance of a few elites, but the collective choice of the entire species.”

”And you...” Heng Shu pointed to the real-time data of Earth. ”The voluntary evolution rate is 61.7%, and that number is still slowly rising. More importantly—you gave everyone the right to choose. This is unprecedented.”

Chen Fan frowned. ”What do you mean by this? If you’re here to praise us, there’s no need.”

”I am not praising you; I am stating facts,” Heng Shu said. ”Because it is precisely this fact that has changed the rules of the game.”

He paused and continued:

”Do you know what the ’Sowers’ are? We are not ’scavengers of cosmic consciousness,’ at least not entirely.”

Heng Shu’s figure changed slightly, and an image of the universe appeared behind him—not the universe as it is now, but as it was at the dawn of its birth.

”In the first billion years after the birth of the universe, the first batch of primordial consciousnesses was born. They were composed of pure energy and mathematical laws, possessing no physical form but infinite wisdom and creativity. They created galaxies, physical laws, and... life.”

The image shifted, showing scenes of life sprouting on countless planets.
