However, they were first discovered by the Empire, who established a nation on that northern land and used psionic energy to rediscover humanity's brilliance and glory.

The underwater people are very wary of psychic powers. As a new generation of humans, their genes have already changed and undergone a certain degree of biased evolution.

It is no longer in harmony with natural spiritual energy.

Although they possess powerful and advanced technology, they are not adept at warfare because they have no natural enemies on Nova and because the Supreme Leader has brought a truce between the various factions.

"Master..." After watching the projection, Stone turned to Qin Che, "Is this the history of the underwater people?"

"It should be. I suspect this place is an ancient museum they built, but no one has come here for a long time." Qin Che looked around at the ginkgo nuts and fish corpses.

"I never imagined there was such a period of history before the Dark Ages, when humanity was once glorious, with countless powerful nations standing side by side," Stone murmured.

Qin Che remained silent. After watching the projection, he even began to doubt whether he had traveled from a parallel world to the future.

The outbreak of World War III, the collapse of the mainland, the Fire Seed Project, flying into space... all of these are too astonishing.

The underwater people and the wasteland people are of the same origin, both coming from Earth. In the hundreds of years after the Fireseed Project, Earth evolved Chaos Stones, and psionic energy was born.

A group of humans used psionic energy to establish the First Empire in the North, becoming a superpower in the wasteland and dominating the world.

Later, they were consumed by the psychic energy they had unearthed. Because they were too greedy and wanted to monopolize the use of psychic energy, they suffered retribution or died from infighting.

When the sea creatures returned and learned of this, they wanted to investigate the truth behind the Empire's demise. Or rather, they wanted psionic technology and to bring back Nova.

It's the same as greed.

Qin Che frowned. The previous generation of humans had already left. They were living well on the new planet and had no right to interfere with anything on Earth.

Psychic energy is a gift, a feedback from the destroyed Earth to the creatures on the wasteland. It is the result of selfless evolution and a means of self-salvation.

Psychic energy changed many things, making the wasteland less hostile and allowing life on Earth to continue to survive.

Qin Che now has another target: to investigate the purpose of the underwater people staying on Earth. If it is as he thinks... he wouldn't mind driving them away.

"Let's go, we should leave here."

After the projection ended, the stone box closed automatically. Qin Che looked at the crack in the stone layer in front of him and, carrying the small stone, went inside.

The bottom of the trench was like a maze, with interconnected paths, but this did not hinder Qin Che's senses. He followed the correct path and swam to the exit with Xiao Shitou.

Deep in the ocean, they were now on the layer below the trench. After emerging from the rock layer, there was actually a path below.

Calculating the distance, they are currently more than 10,000 meters underwater, where the water pressure is terrifying. If Qin Che releases the shield of natural spiritual energy, he should be fine, but Shi Tou will die.

The two continued downwards, and soon they saw a beam of light.

This light appeared abruptly deep in the trench, leaving everyone astonished.

Qin Che looked closely and saw a spherical ecological park in the distance.

It is slowly floating in the deepest channel of the trench, moving slowly with the current at the bottom.

The underwater people possess advanced technology and can draw energy from seawater.

No matter how bright the light is, it cannot penetrate the trench; it is hidden very deep inside.

No wonder Qin Che failed to find the underwater people's lair; it turns out their depth exceeded Qin Che's perception, making them undetectable from the sea surface.

Even though the earth was transparent in his perception, he still couldn't perceive the space deep in the trench, beneath the layers of rock, because the rock was too thick.

"I see……"

Qin Che led Xiao Shitou down into the water, and a blade array entwined with the spiritual pressure of a demigod floated around him.

Throwing knives rained down, ready to destroy the ecosphere at any moment.

The underwater people's lair is very large. This ball looks small, but when you get closer, you'll find that it contains a magnificent city.

It is magnificent, with dazzling light and various colorful lights shining inside the ecosphere.

Many auras appeared in this city, and Qin Che could judge with a little perception that the population was probably over a million.

After returning, the underwater people established a city in this area, and in modern times, they sent three troops to the northern permafrost to investigate the situation.

But these three units have not returned yet, while Qin Che found the underwater nest before them.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from within the ecosphere!

The immense energy and spiritual power caused the seawater to tremble violently.

However, despite the significant tremor, the ecosphere remained unaffected and continued its peaceful journey forward.

As the space expanded, a figure flew out from within the shield and instantly arrived in front of Qin Che.

He's a demigod!

Qin Che shielded the stone behind him and spread his spiritual pressure. The spiritual pressures of both sides crowded together, creating a hole in the turbulent seabed and isolating it from the seawater.

The terrifying spiritual pressure countered the water pressure at the bottom of the sea, easily pushing the seawater away.

Qin Che looked up and saw a middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in gold clothing that suited his figure. He had the appearance of a nobleman and was also tall and handsome. His eyes were like stars. He calmly and steadily looked Qin Che up and down. He stood upright and floated in the hollow at the bottom of the sea. His demigod spiritual pressure seemed to materialize and collided with Qin Che's, neither giving way.

"Wastelanders?" The demigod spoke in a language familiar to Qin Che.

"One of your people stole the Earthstone from the Empire. It symbolizes the progenitor of psionic evolution and is a wasteland artifact. I'm here to hold you accountable," Qin Che said calmly.
