Chapter 14: He understand everythings yet no one understand him.
"Space is truly vast and holds countless unknown mysteries. I will go to meet them all and fulfill our manifest destiny that defines us. I will never give up, no matter the challenges."
"The limits of this world, I will not be the last on my journey. Even if I never succeed, I will pass this aspiration on to others."
To be the first, not the last. If Elysium fails in its mission and is destroyed midway, he will ensure that this world will continue its struggle and shape its own manifest destiny.
This is madness and insanity. No one will ever understand him, and no one will ever understand what he is pursuing.
The fanatic materialist trait is no joke. Even in the galaxy, a fanatic materialist is often seen as incomprehensible to most civilizations in the galaxy. They are crazy in pursuing a goal that is almost impossible, willing to sacrifice everything for the advancement of technology and the pursuit of knowledge in the universe.
Once a fanatic materialist sets a goal, they will never stop, no matter the trials. Even if it meant destroying the planet they inhabited, destroying countless civilizations, or disrupting every fabric of the universe.
The Federation is a civilization of deranged humanoids that even caused the cosmogenesis event, plunging the entire galaxy into a static field where time has stalled, frozen in time for millions of years. They created a horizon needle to escape their old galaxy and search for a new one to change it at their own will.
Until now, the horizon needle continues to wander the multiverse and has built a highly advanced civilization within the shroud. With the Whisperers of the Void as their backing, their journey in the endless multiverse has just begun.
And he, a nine-star scientist from the Federation, is not much different from all the other fanatical materialists in the Federation. Elysium, who also represents 0.01% of Astrea's psychic consciousness, is no different from his true body.
"Wow, Elysium, you really are knowledgeable. You're saying that Douluo Continent is just a planet like a pearl in space, not a flat world?" Tang Wulin was stunned to hear this. Another piece of new knowledge was added to his mind.
"Of course! This is common knowledge I've already learned. Silly head, if the world is flat, why haven't we ever found the end?"
Elysium patted Tang Wulin's head, grabbed some of his other hair, and did the same to Na'er. He was like a knowledgeable big brother to Wulin and Na'er.
Na'er, for the first time, didn't reject him. She seemed to be looking at Elysium with a different perspective, for some unknown reason.
This was different from Tang Ziran, Mang Tian, and Lang Yue, who simply dismissed Elysium's words as childish dreams that shouldn't be taken seriously, and Tang Wulin, who didn't really understand anything about it and blindly believed Elysium could achieve it.
For some reason, Na'er could see through her amethyst eyes that what this boy said, and all of it, wasn't a joke, but was completely serious. This time, she realized that there was something truly different about this man.
When he said all that, his attention was never on them. He looked up at the sky, as if longing for something. Like his place wasn't here, but hidden among the stars.
He never complimented her like many of the kids out there, or like her brother Tang Wulin, who always called her cute.
Even when he stroked my head, he seemed so distant, and the moment his hand left her head, his eyes didn't look at her.
Na'er, who had been quiet, asked in a voice Elysium could hear for the first time, "Is there really a planet out there that humans can live on?"
Elysium, hearing this, glanced at Na'er and smiled a little. He shrugged and looked at the moon in the sky. "Who knows? Maybe there's another planet far out there, another place completely untouched."
Elysium raised her hand before withdrawing it. His longing had become so intense now. When discussing the mysteries of the universe, Elysium could sense that He was no different from his original body, perhaps exploring a new planet with a sentinel array.
Soon, he would return to his rightful place, returning to Astrea after completing all his duties. Until then, he would do his job and bring about great change in this world.
Elysium looked at Na'er and Tang Wulin, who were helping Lang Yue prepare the meal. He calculated the time and placed several of his listening devices around the house in various positions.
He had been doing this since they started playing with Tang Wulin and Na'er, when He told them about his dreams, and when he stroked Tang Wulin's head.
All in all, all his goals had been achieved. But there was one last thing he had to do before dinner began.
"Na'er, you like your brother, right?" Elysium teased this little girl with a silly smile.
"No... No. It's not like that... I..." Na'er shuddered at the sudden question. Her face was as red as a tomato, and she was truly shy when someone pointed out her feelings.
"Ho, how do you know?" Na'er said softly, almost silently.
"Your eyes. From your eyes, I can see how much you love Tang Wulin from the moment we met at the Red Mountain Academy." Elysium pointed to Ametyhst's eyes, which trembled upon hearing that.
"Besides, from your actions, I can see that you truly like your brother. A kind of love so pure that it's unlike that of an adult."
At this moment, Elysium was completely unlike a child. His tone was full of calculation and a mask that hid his true intentions, guiding her to confess her feelings.
Naer nodded slowly, her heart beating faster, a shy little girl glancing at her brother from afar. She hid her feelings and her love from her true self.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Go with him and accompany him. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to express your feelings." Elysium grabbed Na'er's shoulder and encouraged her to go help Tang Wulin.
Far away, Elysium saw Na'er and Tang Wulin, who looked perfect together, and his task for today was complete.
Who said I, as a cold-blooded researcher, don't know about love?
I know more about emotions and love than anyone. Isn't it just a reaction to the hormones released by the brain when happy?
With a little manipulation, pairing two people who love each other isn't difficult. Even if it fails, a little outside help can help them be together.
"I apologize, Wulin, but your mate was already determined by me from the start. I can't let my precious experimental subject slip out of my control."
You can only love her and will always love her. Even if you don't love her, I will make you love Na'er with all your heart.
So, as a price, I will test whether your future offspring will inherit your genes or your wife's. Or maybe there are mutations? Or maybe you two can't have children for some other reason?
This is a worthy experiment.
"You should thank me, Wulin; your life will be happy from now on. On the other hand, I need to start arming myself in case the soul beast finds Na'er sooner."
