Chapter 14: A Visitor from Another World!

Suddenly, the news spread wildly through the group chats of all the companies in the entire building.

“Is this for real? Is it really him?”

“Confirmed, it’s definitely him!”

“Oh my god, this is a super big shot. I haven’t heard anything about an inspection.”

“Let’s see which company he’s visiting.”

“Confirmed, he’s going to the Shen Group!”

“The one chaired by that incredibly young guy from the Shen Group?”

“...”

In just a short time, the news began to spread beyond the building.

This was precisely what Shen Yu intended.

To stand against the apocalypse, it was necessary to gather as many concentrated resources as possible. From the very start, he had no intention of hiding.

As for the potential risks, with his extraordinary strength increasing, they had been minimized to the lowest level. His family would also receive strict protection afterward. Once he obtained the first batch of Gray Mist, he could use it to enhance security, leaving no worries behind.

Given this, there was no need to waste time and energy on concealment.

At that moment, Huang Jingrong, carrying a hint of nervousness, arrived at the entrance of the Shen Group. Ji Mingshu had been waiting there for some time.

“Welcome, Director Huang. Please follow me,” she said, walking straight toward him. She showed no surprise at Huang’s arrival.

“You all wait here,” Huang Jingrong told the security guards, then led Xiao Xu to follow closely behind Ji Mingshu.

His mind simultaneously recalled the profile of this workplace elite.

Hyperthymesia—this sounded like a powerful gift, but in reality, it was a hard-to-cure condition.

It brought immense suffering to those afflicted; most could not bear it and took their own lives.

But this woman before him appeared to have no issues whatsoever.

“Truly different...” Huang Jingrong knew clearly that at this very moment, countless high-level figures were watching this meeting, waiting for its outcome, waiting for the truth to be unveiled.

Thinking about the technologies involved, Huang Jingrong felt full of anticipation.

They were led into a VIP reception room. The curtains were drawn tight, and once the door closed behind them, the faint sounds of discussion outside vanished completely, indicating excellent soundproofing.

“Please wait a moment longer. The chairman still has some matters to attend to but will arrive on time,” Ji Mingshu said, preparing tea for the two.

“No worries, we arrived early,” Huang Jingrong smiled, quietly observing the secretary.

Yet, he noticed nothing unusual.

Her demeanor was impeccable—every expression and movement executed with precision.

After pouring the tea, she stood by the host’s seat, showing no intention to engage in conversation.

Huang Jingrong could only suppress his emotions and continuously speculate about the scenarios that might unfold next.

From what he could tell, the invitation was most likely from the chairman of the Shen Group himself.

That young man who had built a vast company in such a short time had now been shrouded in thick mystery.

Then, at exactly six o’clock in the evening, something entirely unexpected happened—beyond all their predictions.

Huang Jingrong and Xiao Xu’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Before the chair, a swirl of gray mist suddenly appeared out of thin air.

A young man emerged from the mist!

Dressed in a proper suit, smiling gently—if not Shen Yu, then who else?

“Welcome, both of you,” Shen Yu greeted first, his expression calm and natural.

“Mr. Shen... your entrance is truly astonishing,” Huang Jingrong said, forcing down his shock to maintain composure.

But he already had a premonition.

Today’s meeting might genuinely change the entire world!

“I find it quite miraculous as well,” Shen Yu spoke calmly. “Before this, I never imagined I could use my abilities so freely, without any need for concealment.”

“Mr. Shen, we have already received your gift. On behalf of this country and this nation, I express our deepest gratitude. It is exactly what we desperately need,” Huang Jingrong’s throat rolled slightly. Though eager to ask questions, he held himself back.

This manner of arrival alone represented so much.

The man before them had completely shattered existing understanding; he could no longer be confined by previous knowledge.

“Strictly speaking, it’s not truly my gift. I am merely presenting something that belongs to others,” Shen Yu said without beating around the bush. “Since waking from that car accident eight years ago, I discovered I possessed some extraordinary abilities. I once thought it was a gift from fate, but recently I realized it is actually the last hope condensed by our world, this civilization, under the shadow of destruction.”

“...”

Huang Jingrong did not interrupt.

But both he and Xiao Xu instinctively held their breath.

Especially when Shen Yu mentioned the “last hope.”

The sensation was like opening a door to a new world, yet also like gazing at a light deep within an abyss—an indescribable feeling.

“Because these abilities only appear in civilizations destined for inevitable destruction,” Shen Yu emphasized. “And their true power is far more complex than I had imagined. It allows one to traverse worlds and establish contact with others from different civilizations who possess the same power.”

“—!”

This sentence finally lifted part of the veil of mystery.

Yet the revelation struck both men with tremendous impact.

“You mean...” Huang Jingrong’s throat moved as he spoke with difficulty, “other civilizations...”

“Yes, other civilizations equally trapped in apocalyptic fates,” Shen Yu nodded gravely. “Among the infinite multiverse, I am not the only one with these abilities. Some predecessors have long been in close contact. They established an organization called the ‘Multiversal Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association.’ The ‘gift’ I sent to you originates from one of its members, who comes from a civilization that has been exploring interstellar space for over two centuries.”

“...”

Huang Jingrong and Xiao Xu remained silent.

Not because they had nothing to say, but because words failed them.

Before coming here, they had prepared for various possibilities.

Including discovering alien artifacts or even making contact with extraterrestrials.

But everything Shen Yu described far exceeded their comprehension.

This was not merely about alien artifacts or aliens in the usual sense.

An infinite multiverse!

The Multiversal Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association!

They did not yet know the full details, but even this alone was beyond imagination.

“Is all this true?” Huang Jingrong finally whispered.

“I visited an alternate world last night,” Shen Yu raised an eyebrow. “So today, I actually invited that member to visit our world as well. Would you like to meet him?”
