Chapter 55 The Law of the Dark Forest
At that critical moment that determined the fate of humanity, with the human fleet completely destroyed by the droplets, humanity seemed to become helpless lambs on a chopping board, only able to wait helplessly and desperately for the arrival of the Trisolaran world, as if it were an irresistible judgment of destiny.
Against this backdrop, the strongest support, Barbie Hsu, frantically sought out Luo Ji, and the two drove quickly to the city.
However, on their way back, they were unexpectedly blocked by a group of people, as if a barrier had fallen from the sky, cutting off their path.
Suddenly, two figures slowly emerged from the crowd. Luo Ji looked closely and recognized them as his old acquaintances—Hist, both of them Wallfacers.
Histor's steps were firm, and his eyes revealed a sense of urgency. He revealed to Luo Ji the shocking news that the Wallfacer Project had been restarted by Blue Star International, and this time the only Wallfacer was Luo Ji himself.
Histor continued, saying that the star that was cursed by Luo Ji 185 years ago has now been completely destroyed by some unknown force.
This news came like a bolt from the blue, sending shockwaves around the world.
At this moment, the eyes of the whole world were focused on Luo Ji, their eyes filled with expectation and reverence, as if waiting for Luo Ji to announce his plan to save them.
The new humans, living in this desperate era, place all their hopes on Luo Ji, an ancient human who has lived across two centuries.
They firmly believed that only the wise man Luo Ji could save them, these new humans who could not disguise themselves.
At this moment of immense pressure, Luo Ji resolutely issued his first order: restore order to all human cities, evacuate the crowds, and prepare for his next plan. That night, Luo Ji and Da S sat on the beach, each lighting a Furongwang cigarette, lost in deep thought.
By combining previous events with the destroyed star, they revealed the ultimate truth of a cosmic civilization—the Dark Forest Theory.
In this universe, every civilization is like a hunter with a gun, silently lurking in the forest, carefully concealing its existence. Once it discovers other life, its only option is to shoot and eliminate the other party.
In this dark forest, others are both hell and an eternal threat.
Any life that reveals its existence will soon be annihilated. This is the cruel picture of cosmic civilization, and this is the explanation for the Fermi Paradox.
This is the ultimate law of cosmic civilization—the Dark Forest Law, a cold and ruthless yet undeniable truth.
……
Fontaine.
When Navelette, the Water Dragon King, saw this, his eyes widened slightly in surprise.
As one of the seven elemental dragons who are on par with the Seven Gods and even more ancient than the Teyvat Seven Gods, even as a mere successor, Navelet knows the secrets of the universe.
In the depths of his profound and boundless memory, he vaguely recalled the great battle between the First and Second Descendants. When they appeared on the continent of Teyvat, they brought unprecedented shock to this land.
Navelette knew that these arrivals were very likely invaders from a distant interstellar civilization, and their appearance was like a destined revolution.
But it was because of their arrival that the continent of Teyvat was able to develop from the initial chaos into what it is today.
The "Dark Forest Theory" described in this novel has now made Villette ponder.
"This law, in theory, should indeed apply to all civilizations in the universe, especially relatively weak civilizations like Teyvat. If other powerful civilizations were to discover it, it might trigger another world-ending war for the throne."
"At that time, no matter which side wins, it will be the inhabitants of Teyvat who suffer. Therefore, keeping Teyvat hidden in the universe is the right choice... at least until it becomes powerful."
……
to winter.
When the doctor saw the Dark Forest Theory, he was completely dumbfounded.
Sumeru.
Jingshan Palace.
"The Dark Forest Theory... Every civilization is a hunter with a gun. This metaphor is truly vivid and apt."
Nasita, the little grass goddess, blinked her wise eyes. She felt that the author's metaphor was a worthy opponent, even more flexible than her own.
After praising the author's metaphor, Nasita continued to stare at the contents of the book, analyzing them carefully.
To verify the authenticity of the book's contents, Narcida once again opened the Void, searching her mind relentlessly, even drawing upon the World Tree's knowledge base to analyze the history of Teyvat and compare it with the book's contents.
Finally, Narcida discovered that, based on the events of the First and Second Arrivals, extraterrestrial civilizations did indeed exist, and were far too powerful for the Teyvat civilization to be considered.
Even if the Teyvat civilization were to gather all its power now, it would be difficult to withstand the invasion of a cosmic civilization.
The more Nasida thought about it, the more desperate she became.
A single starship can destroy a city with ease.
However, the fleet composed of such powerful warships was no match for a probe sent by another advanced civilization.
"So... how exactly did the people of that world escape this catastrophe? Or did they simply succumb to this absolute power...?"
Narcida's gaze returned to the novel in her hand. Through the World Tree's knowledge base, she knew that everything described in the book was very likely true. Someone in Teyvat had accidentally learned of all this and written it all down in the form of a novel to warn everyone in Teyvat to be careful of invasions from enemies outside the world.
So, clinging to a sliver of hope, Nasita continued reading, hoping to find a way to save humanity in the book.
After the droplet completely blocked humanity's only signal transmitter, the news of the impending arrival of the Solar Trisolaran fleet hung like a sword of Damocles over Earth, foreshadowing the impending apocalypse. At this critical moment, Luo Ji, a human who had already grasped the Dark Forest Law of the Universe, reappeared at the Federation Organization's meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was heavy and tense, with each representative's eyes filled with urgency and worry. They were using Luo Ji's family as a bargaining chip, attempting to leverage his image as a savior to push forward a massively costly project—the Snowfield Project.
The goal of this project is to track the nine droplets expected to arrive in three years. The strategy involves using stellar-mass hydrogen bombs and the oil film surrounding Neptune to create a cloud of space dust around the sun. This dust cloud, like a snowfield in winter, will be able to record the tracks of any traveler.
Luo Ji threw himself wholeheartedly into this snow project, seemingly using it as an escape from the pain and bitterness of reality. But when his name once again became the focus of public discussion, no longer as a savior but as an ordinary person being attacked, the public's perspective began to shift.
Amidst the whispers and gossip, Luo Ji, once savior, is now seen as a fraud. People begin to doubt whether the stellar explosions were merely a series of coincidences, suspecting that Luo Ji is nothing more than a conman weaving lies. Former reverence and trust have transformed into suspicion and distrust; Luo Ji's image in the public eye has undergone a fundamental change.

Mond.
Miss Lisa, seated in the Knights of Favonius Library, put down the book "The Dark Forest" from her hands and placed one hand on her chest:
"Oh dear~ I never expected the humans in this book to be so heartless and ungrateful. One second they're calling the protagonist a savior, and the next they think he's a fraud."
"Seriously, their change of expression is faster than Liyue's magic tricks. If I were the protagonist, I would definitely stop paying attention to them."
In Inazuma Castle, lightning streaked across the silent night sky like the roar of a god. In the dimly lit study, Ayato Kamisato sat quietly, his eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight. He rested his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed on the yellowed pages of a book.
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the wooden table, and as thunder rumbled outside, he nodded slowly, as if he had gained a new understanding of the secrets in the book.
"Hmm... I think the protagonist in the book is no ordinary person. There must be some deep-seated plan hidden behind his actions." Ayato's voice echoed in the study, carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
"Judging from the previous plot, this protagonist is also a Wallfacer who is good at disguising himself. His actions are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface. What do you think, Thomas?" His gaze turned to Thomas, who was cleaning, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Thomas put down his broom, thought seriously for a while, and then replied, "Indeed, patriarch. I believe that to accomplish a major task, some things must be hidden and concealed."
He continued, "Just like when the Eye Hunt Order was issued, Miss also secretly accomplished many things, avoiding the gaze of the Heavenly Commander and the Thunder General."
Hearing Thomas make this comparison, Ayaka Kamisato couldn't help but feel a little shy.
She knelt on the ground, gently covering her face with one hand, and lightly waved her fan, softly declining, "It wasn't that amazing. I just did my best. The success of the Eye Hunt was largely thanks to that traveler's help."
Mentioning the traveler, Ayaka's eyes suddenly dimmed, her beautiful gaze lowered, and a complex emotion flickered within them. She murmured to herself, "I wonder how the traveler is doing now..."
