Chapter 1243: Chapter 59 Equality (Monthly Ticket Bonus!)_2

Einstein’s words were correct. This virus spread across the world for 200 years before finally losing its virulence and transmissibility, leading to its extinction.

Over the course of 200 years, humanity completely bid farewell to hibernation technologies and returned to a normal society.

Perhaps, according to Gauss’s ideas, he would have wished that this virus lasted for thousands, tens of thousands of years, or even for humanity to never overcome it.

But that is how the natural laws work.

As Einstein said, there is no virus that functions forever, and there is no humanity that can resist all viruses.

Suddenly.

Lin Xian finally realized…

Why Einstein had once firmly declared:

“The future will no longer change. All possibilities have vanished. Now, this is… the one and only future.”

He also finally understood…

Why the 0.0001764 worldline remained so resilient, while The Ninth Dreamland could never be broken.

Because–

[The 0.0001764 worldline was the result of collective effort by several geniuses! Together, they forged it! Its space-time elasticity is, of course, extraordinarily robust!]

This cannot be wrong.

In The Ninth Dreamland, the catastrophic disaster of the year 2600 is clearly Galileo’s handiwork;

The stagnation of human technology, as evidenced by land motos, is obviously the continuation of Copernicus’s legacy;

Furthermore, from the intelligence just obtained, between the years 2025 and 2219, Gauss’s Hibernation Suppression Virus temporarily shut down humanity’s ability to hibernate;

Perhaps, in ways unnoticed, Big Brother Newton was also following through on his own plans…

Four geniuses, working simultaneously.

The result? The Ninth Dreamland, where humanity faces the brink of extinction!

“So that’s how it is.”

Lin Xian fully understood.

Why during the final gathering, Einstein had specifically planned a one-on-one individual questioning?

Initially, it seemed like a privilege.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Einstein’s method of ensuring stability in the worldline.

He must never reveal which of them succeeded in the salvation game, because victory was built jointly by all of them.

Therefore.

The best approach was…

To let each genius believe that they had won!

That way, they would unrelentingly wait for the beautiful future to arrive over the ensuing decades and centuries.

Unfortunately.

All of this was a lie.

The future Einstein foresaw was false. Unintentionally, he redirected these geniuses and humanity’s civilization toward a path of destruction.

“Einstein, just what happened to you…?”

Lin Xian frowned.

Finally experiencing the meaning behind “When the beam is askew, the rafters will lean.”

Wait.

Lin Xian suddenly recalled a possibility that was truly terrifying to consider.

The White Light.

[World-Ending White Light].

To this day, he still has no idea what the extinguishing White Light at 00:42 represents.

However, across every dreamland, without exception–

Humanity never detects or prepares for the arrival of the White Light. Each time, they are peacefully obliterated in ignorance.

Einstein’s response to Jask similarly omitted any mention of the White Light. He even stated that on August 29, 2624, at 10:00 AM, over 40 million people were bustling and lively within the East Sea region.

That is absolutely impossible!

Lin Xian squinted his eyes…

And strung together three critical clues:

1. Einstein was unable to witness the disappearance of the Millennium Stakes in 1952, nor see the World-Ending White Light in 2624.

2. The timing of the World-Ending White Light’s arrival is remarkably coincidental–it occurs exactly when CC, as the Millennium Stakes, should dissipate and transform into Blue Stardust.

3. If humanity had any chance of preventing the descent of the World-Ending White Light, then in the current future of The Ninth Dreamland, where humanity is entirely wiped out, that chance is zero. This, precisely, aligns with Einstein’s assertion of the “best future,” one that locks the worldline.

When these three clues are combined, it seems to converge into a logical and coherent conclusion–

[Einstein’s purpose in locking the worldline was to ensure the timely arrival of the World-Ending White Light, to extinguish CC, the Millennium Stakes, at the appointed moment.]

Well…

It’s certainly an absurd conclusion.

But aside from this, there doesn’t seem to be any other logic that holds up.

Because.

From the current standpoint.

The Millennium Stakes, World-Ending White Light, and Einstein… these three are deeply intertwined, forming a highly connected trio. There must be countless threads linking them together.

What exactly these connections are, Lin Xian cannot decipher.

But he has an inexplicable intuition–

[Unraveling the truth behind the Millennium Stakes is the key to saving Chu Anqing, blocking the arrival of the World-Ending White Light, and preserving humanity’s future.]

“It’s possible.”

Lin Xian grew increasingly steadfast in his thoughts:

“It’s genuinely possible!”

“I’ve thought before–there must be some connection between the Millennium Stakes and the World-Ending White Light, but no evidence of the link ever surfaced. Now, this thread is becoming increasingly clear.”

“Except…”

Lin Xian frowned, his lips pressed tightly together.

There’s no time to consider such distant matters–the imminent crisis already weighs heavily upon them.

Turning around, he noticed that Maima had begun reading “Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor” by the hibernation pod’s light, marveling with great enthusiasm.

He then picked up a sharp stone fragment from the ground and began scribbling on the wall as though it were a blackboard:

On October 17, 2024, Gauss injected the Hibernation Suppression Virus into his own body, officially beginning his “200-Year Equality in Life and Death” plan.

On January 17, 2025, after its three-month incubation period ended, the virus inside Gauss reached a transmissible state. He picked a location teeming with dense and mobile crowds: airports, harbors, docks, plazas, intersections… anywhere would suffice. On this day, he managed to infect tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of travelers from all over the world.

On April 17, 2025, the virus’s incubation period within these tens of thousands of infected travelers ended, sparking an explosive outbreak across the globe. Within just one day, the Hibernation Suppression Virus swept the planet, permanently barring anyone infected from ever sleeping in a hibernation pod again.
