Chapter 113: Chapter 102: Time of Death: January 1, Year 27
Chu Bamboo’s expression was grave. The only thing he was thankful for was that Shaking Light’s interface was similar to Nuwa No. 17’s.
"Nuwa... Shaking Light!" Chu Bamboo pressed his lips together, still feeling a bit awkward. After taking a deep breath, he asked, "What was the exact date my identification was deregistered? The year, month, and day? And for what reason was it deregistered?"
Deregistration Time: January 1, ’27, 4:00 PM.
Cause of Death: Death by accidental combustion while riding in a vehicle.
Chu Bamboo narrowed his eyes, staring at the time and cause of death in silence for a long while.
He had considered many possibilities, but he had never imagined his death would be so early!
"January 1, ’27... Doesn’t that mean from now it’s only..."
"This makes no sense. What happened?"
At this moment, however, Chu Bamboo more or less understood why the timeline had changed so drastically—he had died far, far too early!
Moreover, the cause of death this time around might have been the very thing that affected the timeline.
"Wait..." Chu Bamboo suddenly realized something and asked, "What about Zhao Shao’s time of death?"
Deregistration Time: January 7, ’27, 7:00 PM.
Chu Bamboo’s pupils contracted. He thought for a moment, then asked again, "And Lin Xia?"
Deregistration Time: January 1, ’27, 4:00 PM.
Chu Bamboo felt an ache in his jaw. ’The same day, the same time! Lin Xia must have been in the same car with me...’
This time, it was truly outrageous... Chu Bamboo had no idea what forbidden line his other self had crossed to trigger a total party wipe.
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Chu Bamboo thought it over and said carefully, "Please elaborate on Chu Bamboo’s life trajectory starting from the year ’25, and the widespread impact his actions had on society."
And then...
"On July 1, ’25, Chu Bamboo officially began releasing his own songs! His vocal style was versatile, and he was skilled in all known musical genres, from rock to classical, from Chinese songs to English and Japanese songs."
"In just six short months, Chu Bamboo shot to fame, becoming another rising megastar in Shen Zhou. He rose to prominence on a global scale with incredible speed, accumulating a massive fanbase!"
"It was a miracle possible only in the AI internet era, with its ubiquitous global reach!"
"On February 1, ’26, Chu Bamboo published the novel *Star Sea*. Initially, sales of *Star Sea* were lukewarm. At best, thanks to his megastar status, his die-hard fans made some purchases, barely pushing the sales number to six thousand copies! However, the turning point came half a month later!"
"A junior at Huaqing University, after finishing *Star Sea*, was stunned to realize that the book contained a vast analysis of existing scientific knowledge, projections about the future, explorations of mathematical theories, and even briefly touched upon an analysis of the Riemann hypothesis."
"Although this junior did not fully understand *Star Sea*, they were deeply impressed by the book’s extraordinary nature. Captivated, they recommended it to their professor."
"And so began *Star Sea*’s widespread circulation within high-level academic circles."
"On May 4, ’26, Academician Zhang Bohai of the Shen Zhou Academy of Sciences formally promoted and publicized the book on his social media. He described it as having ’summarized twenty-five revolutionary conjectures, while also providing a powerful reinforcement to the existing edifice of physics, and furthermore, powerfully advancing the analysis of the Riemann hypothesis by a significant step.’ This evaluation of his was reposted and liked by over ten academicians in Shen Zhou!"
"Following this landmark event, *Star Sea* officially went mainstream!"
"On May 5, ’26, topics related to the academicians’ reposts and likes, as well as *Star Sea* itself, miraculously surpassed one hundred million clicks in a single day across the entire internet. This was entirely organic engagement, not manufactured data! Information related to *Star Sea* dominated the top spots on all major platforms."
"Carried by this soaring popularity, *Star Sea* sold over a million copies within Shen Zhou in just three days, and over ten million copies in twelve days. It set the record for the fastest a traditional paper book had surpassed one million and ten million sales since the dawn of the internet age!"
"It even became a cultural phenomenon within Shen Zhou!"
"On June 14, ’26, the White-headed Eagle’s Academician Dennis also promoted the book on social media, calling it ’a book that every university student in the White-headed Eagle nation should read’!"
"On July 7, ’26, with the help of overseas academicians, the cultural phenomenon known as *Star Sea*, which had started within Shen Zhou, began to spread across the entire world!"
"On October 27, ’26, sales of *Star Sea* surpassed one hundred million copies globally!"
"On November 17, ’26, Chu Bamboo released another work, *Star Sea Detailed Explanation*. Although countless loyal readers of *Star Sea* called this book ’impossible to understand’ and ’completely incomprehensible,’ it created an unprecedented earthquake in the academic world!"
"An academician from Great Britain once stated that the contents of *Star Sea Detailed Explanation* were enough to produce twelve Nobel laureates in Physics and eight Nobel laureates in Chemistry! Furthermore, Chu Bamboo could even casually pick up a Fields Medal for it!"
"Even Academician Zhang Bohai admitted: ’This book doesn’t seem like something a single person could have created... It’s more like it was collaboratively written by a group of top-tier scientists, mathematicians, chemists, and physicists! And yet, it was produced by Chu Bamboo alone.’"
