Chapter Title: The Benefits of Joining the Association
-------------------------------------
The words Shen Yi spoke at this time were also not entirely an act.
Having experienced the previous world, many of his mindsets had undergone changes.
Even if he still didn’t dare to say that he was now a qualified savior…
He had already broken away from the mindset of an "ordinary person."
Anyone who had witnessed such a doomsday couldn’t possibly remain completely unchanged.
Mo Yuanbai looked at Shen Yi and didn’t speak further. Instead he remained silent, seemingly pondering something.
When he first heard his daughter speak of the world doomsday, he had thought that it was a joke. But when he heard that even the Special Affairs Bureau was involved, he felt that something was wrong, to the extent that upon hearing that this savior from a parallel world had displayed supernatural power, he rushed over immediately.
And the feeling this initial meeting of theirs gave him was...
Very unfortunate.
He didn’t discover any traces of lies.
Mo Yuanbai looked out the window. It was a scene of high-rise buildings and flourishing flowers. Such a view, which he was accustomed to ever since and even made people feel somewhat oppressed, now made him feel absent-minded.
"Has our world, this planet, really reached its end?" He murmured to himself, and then he quickly recovered his composure, turning his head to smile at Shen Yi, "My apologies, Mr. Shen, I’ve slightly lost my composure there."
He apologized because this question was one he had already asked in the very first sentence of their meeting…
And he had also already received the answer.
"It's fine," Shen Yi's expression softened slightly, and then he shrugged, "Furthermore, what we can currently determine is merely the future extinction of human civilization. The world won’t necessarily undergo changes. Under specific doomsdays, it might even remain completely intact."
His previous world had been like this.
Mo Yuanbai was stunned, then he shook his head helplessly, "This can hardly be counted as any comfort."
"I’m not comforting you either," Shen Yi said casually.
"Pardon my behavior, Mr. Shen."
Mo Yuanbai's sitting posture straightened a bit, and his body now possessed some of the demeanor of a world-class entrepreneur. This shift in attitude also marked his initial belief in Shen Yi's words.
Believing in the world doomsday…
And the person in front of him was perhaps the savior of the entire world.
"What does Mr. Shen hope for us to do?"
"For now, I need to know what you can achieve," Shen Yi also stopped speaking nonsense, "I mean, regardless of the cost and consequences, mobilizing all of the forces you can mobilize, exactly to what extent can you achieve."
Although he didn’t yet know the manifestation of this world’s doomsday…
Making preparations early might save a few more lives.
Shen Yi would also be able to obtain more system points.
"I understand, I’ll gather the relevant reports and believe I won’t disappoint Mr. Shen," Mo Yuanbai paused, and also asked very directly, "Then, may I ask Mr. Shen, how high is the possibility of taking a small number of people to other parallel worlds for refuge?"
Just now, he had agreed to the other party's request.
Now it was his turn to make one.
"Hehe," Shen Yi chuckled.
He wasn’t surprised at all that Mo Yuanbai would ask this question.
Facing the end times, different people had different reactions.
Most ordinary people could only feel despair.
However, the reaction of those with power and wealth, after recovering their composure, was how to save themselves.
They were more capable, and therefore possessed far greater options.
Whether it was building spaceships, constructing Noah's Arks, or even making undersea bases, all kinds of schemes that ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to think of were realistic and feasible plans in the hearts of these people.
Going to other parallel worlds…
This kind of scheme was undoubtedly one of the best methods to escape the doomsday.
However—
"I must tell this to you clearly, as well as to everyone who has this idea." The feeling Shen Yi brought to Mo Yuanbai suddenly changed at this moment.
The latter found it difficult to control his horrified expression.
Because in his line of sight, everything in the surroundings rapidly receded at this moment, as if Shen Yi was the only person in the entire world.
And he also became incomparably tall.
Just like a deity looking down upon the entire world.
Even his voice rumbled and echoed in his ears like thunder.
"The qualification to traverse worlds has nothing to do with power and wealth, it only depends on the level of life. If one can’t undergo transformation from a mortal body, one will never be able to break free from the fate of human order."
This answer…
Shen Yi had also spoken it to the people in the previous world who had attempted to flee their human civilization.
As for the result…
Even those who thought they would be safe by taking a spaceship to escape the planet met an ending of total annihilation. After all, how could people who couldn’t stop the virus possibly escape it?
Shen Yi didn’t exert too much pressure on Mo Yuanbai either. His aura condensed for a moment, and then it quickly receded like the tide.
Yet in just this short amount of time, Mo Yuanbai's back had already been thoroughly soaked with sweat.
Little remained of his handsome older gentleman's demeanor, and he appeared somewhat disheveled now.
He even had to lower his eyes to conceal the look of shock in them.
Although he had heard his daughter mention that the other party possessed miraculous abilities that could let them see images just like holographic projections…
However, he never expected that…
It would turn out to be so terrifying!
Just this one show of strength revealing the tip of the iceberg had already completely surpassed his initial estimation.
Undergo transformation from a mortal body?
Worthy of being a savior whose job was to save the world.
"I was presumptuous," Mo Yuanbai adjusted his state, raised his head, and wiped the sweat from his forehead very naturally.
"However, the possibility of going to parallel worlds, it isn’t completely nonexistent either," the corners of Shen Yi's mouth curled up.
"?"
Mo Yuanbai slightly opened his mouth, and the demeanor he had recovered with great difficulty instantly vanished once again.
There really was a possibility?
‘Then why did you scare me so seriously just now?’
"Ordinary people can’t bear the pressure brought about by traversing worlds, but if one is qualified to join our Pan-Humanity Protection Association, then naturally, people from the Association will be responsible for leading them onto the extraordinary path, which can be counted as one of the benefits," Shen Yi's tone remained indifferent, but when it fell upon Mo Yuanbai's ears, it carried an inexplicable allure.
The extraordinary path…
Just these few words set off waves in his heart.
Why did the gourmet food of this world possess such a high status?
Being able to give people spiritual enjoyment was one aspect of it. But, more importantly, ultimate gourmet food could also prolong life and even cure diseases.
What about the extraordinary then?
Mo Yuanbai's heart thudded wildly. Although his status was lofty, he didn’t possess the talent of a chef, which was a matter of great regret for him.
"Mr. Shen, I wonder what the recruitment standards of your esteemed Association are?" Mo Yuanbai asked as he forced himself to endure the throbbing in his heart, though the desire in his eyes couldn’t escape Shen Yi's gaze.
Shen Yi didn’t answer, however…
He only looked at him with a half-smile.
"My deepest apologies," Mo Yuanbai understood the meaning of this smile. He took a deep breath, and this time, he didn’t conceal his disappointed mood any further, "I’ve been presumptuous once again."

T/N - Lol, the MC is really laying it on thick with his saviour organization. What was that saying again? Drawing a pie in the sky? Poor Mo Yuanbai is getting scammed despite his years of experience in the business world. 😅
