"metaphysics."

As soon as Fang Zhiyi finished speaking, the old ghost suddenly felt something grab his remnant soul and then violently pull him out of the jade pendant that had trapped him.

He was terrified. The next moment, he watched as he was stuffed into the corpse.

Fang Zhiyi ignored Xiao Hei's actions and instead climbed back into the huge mecha that resembled a city gate, starting to tinker around.

After waking up, the naked old ghost was so excited that he shouted and yelled, and even ran around the valley.

He now admires Fang Zhiyi to the extreme.

But Fang Zhiyi just told him to leave, the farther the better.

Old Gui didn't understand, but looking at Fang Zhiyi's serious face, he simply said, "Then at least give me a piece of clothing, right?"

"No, get out."

There were two news items in Yicheng that day. One was that a guy was running naked in Yicheng, but he wasn't caught by the patrol team. According to people who saw him, the guy was actually in pretty good shape.

Secondly, a huge explosion occurred several hundred miles away from Yicheng, and the sound of the explosion made the entire city of Yicheng tremble.

People who had come to their senses rushed over, knowing that it was Young Master Fang's research lab.

However, the explosion was incredibly powerful, flattening everything, including the laboratory and the unexcavated ruins.

Later rumors suggested that Fang Zhiyi made a mistake during the research of the new weapon, which led to the explosion.

When Li San and his group arrived after hearing the news, they also found nothing.

Their technology was completely swallowed up in the explosion, leaving only the power generation equipment that had been placed in the north of Yicheng.

"I don't understand, wouldn't it be better to leave it for them?" Xiao Hei asked, puzzled.

Fang Zhiyi shook her head: "The energy on this planet is insufficient to support their further development and research. Forcing technological advancement would only hasten the extinction of humanity... Sometimes, sufficient rest and recuperation are also for the sake of future development."

"But you're pretty ruthless... There were still quite a few clones down there, and you blew them all up."

“Those things shouldn’t have existed in the first place. I wouldn’t have dug them up if it weren’t for fulfilling my promise to Old Ghost.” Fang Zhiyi sighed. “You underestimate human desire. When they gain power that they shouldn’t have, they’re not far from their doom. That’s all I can do. The future is up to them. At least I’ve made a good start!”

In 987, a new human regime was established, and ordinary people became masters of their own destiny.

In 988, Fang Zhiyi, a pioneer who overthrew the rule of the Fighters, made a mistake and destroyed the laboratory and ruins. He himself died in the explosion.

In 989, humanity entered a period of development, with large-scale reclamation of arable land, the improvement of laws, and the shift from rule by aristocratic families to self-governance through popular elections.

Li San became a councilor and spent his days busy implementing the rules and regulations left behind by Fang Zhiyi.

Wu Dadan joined the first army composed of civilians. He was responsible for managing and training others to pilot the mechs that Fang Zhiyi had repaired, which gave them confidence.

Peng Huan'er married a craftsman, and she applied the business acumen she learned from Fang Zhiyi, quickly becoming a well-known businesswoman in the area and a major taxpayer.

Just as Fang Zhiyi was about to leave this world, Xiao Hei was taken aback. It was eager to see the future of this world, so it used some effort to insert its tentacles into Fang Zhiyi's brain.

More than a thousand years later, human technology has once again reached its peak. Fortunately, this time the technology did not lead to internal strife. However, due to the depletion of planetary energy, humanity began to search for other planets. It was at this time that humanity's pioneers discovered a huge planet, but... they were attacked by a swarm of insects as soon as they set foot on this planet.

The endless swarms of insects outnumbered the human mechs, and only a small number of people escaped in lifeboats.

The bad news is that they also brought some of the insect eggs back to their home planet.

“It’s all their own doing, there’s nothing we can do about it.” Fang Zhiyi shook her head. “Let’s go.”
