In order to find what I want amidst the chaos of mental energy.

Han Ling could only be more diligent and do things herself to make a living.

He used his spiritual power to envelop the weak male insect.

It was as if he was channeling his mental energy into a tangled ball of yarn.

Slowly guide the tangled strands of mental energy to untangle the knot.

Han Ling dared not move the spiritual tendrils of any living being recklessly.

For Han Ling, even a single strand of his mental energy could render a creature with weak mental energy dull and stupid. Therefore, Han Ling could only slowly guide the male insect's mental energy strands and teach him how to manage his mental energy on his own.

This mental energy cleansing session lasted for six hours.

When the tangled ball of yarn was completely untangled, Han Ling finally found what she was looking for among the fragmented memories.

In the void of the spiritual dimension.

Han Ling extended a strand of mental energy and touched the fragment of memory without hesitation.

Next, the illusory scene changes and becomes real.

A very luxurious and rustic villa came into Han Ling's view.

From the perspective of a male insect, he lowered his head and slowly walked up the stairs, through the villa corridor, and arrived at the place where the party was being held.

The moment the male insect raised its head, its gaze shifted, and Han Ling, unsurprisingly, noticed someone.

That prince!

Golden eyes, conveying a compassionate expression; a straight nose; and deep purple lips.

Her golden hair was braided into intricate plaits and coiled on her head.

The ears, which are covered by hair, must be somewhat sharp.

The exposed skin was very white, as transparent as paper.

He was wearing a long robe with intricate patterns, exactly as described in the interrogation records.

Sudden.

Things took a turn for the better than Han Ling had anticipated.

The prince slowly turned his head and looked at Han Ling.

That gaze seemed to transcend time and space, completing a meeting of eyes with Han Ling.

Han Ling's pupils trembled, and before he could say anything, the prince's smile vanished, and his face became expressionless.

His pale golden pupils were contracted to their limit.

An unfamiliar voice, like a thunderclap, appeared in Han Ling's ears:

"Who are you!"

Before Han Ling could say anything, everything in front of him vanished in an instant.

Because the fragments of memory disappeared, the surrounding space once again became nothingness.

Lu Da's male insect mate was also greatly affected. His mental energy tendrils throbbed restlessly, as if he was about to wake up, and the entire mental energy space was violently shaken.

Upon sensing this, Han Ling quickly released his mental energy to press Lu Da's male insect mate back into a deep sleep.

Afterwards, Han Ling exited the mental space and opened her eyes in reality.

On this Class A planet, it was already bright daylight; the time had come to 10:00 AM.

The male insect, lying on the waterbed, remained fast asleep despite Han Ling's interference.

The previously constructed spatial teleportation channel is still on the waterbed.

Han Ling slipped on her shoes, erasing any obvious trace of her arrival, and then anxiously passed through the spatial teleportation channel back to her bedroom.

A familiar set appears.

Han Ling returned to Aphrodite.

The room was completely quiet.

Han Ling frowned, then dispersed the spatial teleportation channel and said to the system:

"Now we can be sure, right? This prince should be the race known as the Wu Clan."

The system nodded:

"It's basically confirmed. That prince comes from the Wu clan."

The Wu tribe was warlike, skilled in battle, and decisive in killing.

The defining characteristic of this race is that the stronger their abilities, the longer their lifespan, and the closer their bodies become to transparent.

Their ability is to deduce the infinite and alter the past.

Both of these points match what the host just experienced.

Han Ling nodded upon hearing this.

The system had previously told him that the Wu tribe had been described in the histories of various races.

For example, the Taoist sects of the human race believed at one stage that the higher one's cultivation level, the more transparent one's brain would become, a state called "clear and bright spirit." After cleansing the meridians and marrow to remove impurities, the body becomes like a transparent crystal tower, allowing one to directly see all the acupoints on the body without needing to look inward.

There are also records in aquatic cultures that transparent creatures are close to immortality.

Han Ling connected her previous memories with what she had just experienced.

After a while.

Han Ling let out a breath, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said:

"Actually, I've seen the Wu tribe before."

After the Yao Clan entered a period of slumber in the river of time.

There was a period in the middle when the river of time experienced tremors.

Many members of the Yao clan have awakened.

I used my spiritual power to investigate, and the River of Time trembled because someone was trying to force their way in.

But I didn't see the intruders; I only saw countless transparent pink hearts.

I didn't understand what this was before.

"Considering what you said, and reflecting on it now, it was probably the Wu clan that tried to enter the river of time back then."

The system's mechanical voice sounded, tinged with surprise:

"I never imagined that the host had ever been in contact with the Yao Clan."

What you just said, host, will be recorded in the encyclopedia for use as information for the Wu clan.

The database contains very few records related to the Wu tribe. The host could try contacting the Wu tribe to obtain more information.

Han Ling shook his head, both amused and exasperated, then lay down on the bed and sighed:

"It's not that easy. Don't even think about getting in touch anytime soon."

In the realm of spiritual power, the display of strength was crystal clear. The tendrils of spiritual power could not be concealed.

The prince just now ran away as soon as he saw me, probably because he saw my spiritual tendrils and realized how strong my spiritual power is.

The Wu clan can't even enter the River of Time, how can they compare their spiritual power with the Yao clan?

"Your Highness, are you hiding now, terrified?"

It wasn't that Han Ling was arrogant, but rather that his strength was undeniable.

The Yao Clan wanted to leave the river of time.

The Wu tribe couldn't even break in.

Upon hearing this, the system affirmed:

"Based on the data analyzed from the behavior of the Wu clan, we know..."

For the Wu Clan's abilities to continue to grow, 75.84% is related to mental power deduction.

If my data is correct, the Wu tribe collected the Zerg's military secrets in order to use their mental power to deduce the possibility of invading the Zerg.

Now that the Zerg and the Yao are about to merge, the Wu clan probably has no chance left.

That prince will probably not come again.

Upon hearing this, Han Ling smiled faintly, lay back down on the bed, and prepared to sleep.

Our small clan is not worth mentioning.

He pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes.

At first, Han Ling didn't notice anything unusual.

But the system's message, the last thing he input before going to sleep, kept lingering in Han Ling's mind, repeating itself endlessly.

After a while, Han Ling suddenly opened his eyes.

Even though the bed was warm, he still felt a chill down his back.

Han Ling frowned and asked:

"System, you're saying that the Wu Clan relies on deduction to advance their abilities?"

In Your Highness's calculations, haven't the Zerg been wiped out thousands of times?

How many years has that prince been entangled with the Zerg?

Based on the current number of male insects, they are at least 450 years old.

Why bother with the Zerg?

Because they can gain advantages from the Zerg?

What are the benefits?

The advantage is that, in the simulation, as long as the Wu clan wins, they can improve their abilities and extend their lifespan.

So-called military secrets are nothing more than a series of countermeasures and responses.

Thinking of this, Han Ling suddenly narrowed his eyes. If he encountered this Wu clan again, he could not let them live.

The system's voice rang in Han Ling's mind:

“The host is right. If that’s the case, then the danger level of the Wu Clan will have to be raised by three levels.”

For the Wu race, who have already annihilated the Zerg a thousand times in their hearts, the Zerg can no longer be called intelligent beings.

They have lost all compassion, reverence, and sense of equality towards the Zerg.

Han Ling narrowed his eyes and said:

"Not only that, His Highness saw me and became aware of my existence."

I became an unexpected factor, disrupting the entire game.

He will definitely recalculate and re-analyze the probability of the Wu tribe winning.

The system notified:

"According to existing records, when the Wu tribe is unable to continue improving its abilities during the simulation, it will invade the tribe."

As far as I know, the Wu race has already wiped out 124 interstellar races.

Han Ling smiled, as expected:

"After research, invasion is the best option to replenish energy materials, and it will not cause a waste of resources."

Moreover, the Wu tribe has simulated the war situation countless times, and they will definitely adopt the method with the shortest time and least consumption to invade.

This is practically a huge sum of money falling from the sky; the Wu clan can get countless coins with just a snap of their fingers.

The Zerg are now a giant box.

The Wu clan is calculating when they can open the box.

Han Ling was worried and couldn't sleep.

He tossed and turned in bed, deep in thought about something.

Interstellar warfare, especially wars of genocide, is not so easy.

Most battles between star systems are just a matter of you insulting me and me spitting on you.

After all, star systems are too far apart, and the logistical needs for troop deployment are enormous.

For example, the star system adjacent to the Zerg, where fraud incidents are frequent.

If the two star systems go to war, and the Zerg send 100 warships carrying personnel, then 200 warships will be needed to store food and medical supplies. An additional 300 warships will be needed to store ammunition.

But if it's a race with high spiritual power, everything is different.

The Yao Clan is physically weak and unable to even conquer the universe.

But why are the numbers of the Yao Clan twice that of the Zerg?

Because of their ability to travel through the mental planes, they can quickly identify the direction of resource stars.

The Yao Clan saved countless amounts of energy from thermal weapons and conserved the energy materials needed for space travel.

For the Zerg to traverse planets, they would need to expend enormous amounts of energy to send tens of thousands of tons of metal into space.

If the Yao Clan wants to cross planets, they might only need a lunch to properly recover their mental energy.

The Yao Clan has abundant energy resources and knows how to conserve them, which is why they are so numerous.

And that prince, those Wu people are also interstellar races with high spiritual power, and their physical strength is not bad either. Their level of technological development is only higher than that of the Zerg, not lower.

After all, they have already obtained the advanced technologies that could be stolen over the past few centuries.

The Wu tribe has probably been preparing for this war for a long time.

Weapons, ammunition, provisions, warships, and people are probably all ready.

Han Ling was somewhat worried. Could the fusion of the Zerg and the Yao Clan withstand the bombardment of the Wu Clan's firearms?

After a thorough investigation, Han Ling truly felt that the Zerg were riddled with problems.

Externally, other interstellar races are eyeing them covetously; internally, they employ foolish self-preservation methods. All of these factors are accelerating the Zerg's decline.

Han Ling rubbed his temples. The ultimate limit for the Wu Clan was to become transparent. This suddenly reminded him of the aurora life forms that the Seventh Construction Legion had discussed at the roundtable meeting.

Aurora life forms that are created by the combination of free particles and light. They are directly invisible.

At the last meeting, it was mentioned that the Aurora Lifeforms are interested in trading with the Zerg, or more precisely, they are interested in the Zerg's energy and flesh.

So they are on their way, intending to transform all the female Zerg into Aurora Lifeforms.

Almost two months have passed since the roundtable meeting.

Those aurora creatures must be arriving soon, right?

After thinking it over, Han Ling suddenly felt very relaxed.

This is a classic case of "too many lice don't itch, too much debt doesn't worry, and a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water."

"Forget it, let's go to sleep first. Even if the sky falls, we'll face it together."

Han Ling muttered a couple of words, then closed his eyes.

It was 2 PM.

Edge of the Stars.

The First Exploration Legion is stationed on a planet.

Various sounds rang out on the training ground, which spanned tens of thousands of square meters.

The sun blazed fiercely above the training field.

The female soldiers gathered here for strength training.

The gravity of the First Exploration Legion's home planet is 1.7 times that of terrestrial planets.

A little exercise can have a big effect.

Meanwhile, the female soldiers had been training all morning.

Roderick and James were partners.

They had just finished training and were lying on the ground, panting and chatting.

It was mainly James who was talking, about what dreams he had.

Speaking of the key enemy, James chuckled lewdly:

"Hehe, you probably have no idea how wonderful the sir is in my dreams. After all, you've never dreamed, what a pity."

Roderick wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, his expression unchanged, and said:

"Well, I don't understand what dreams feel like, but in reality, I have you."

"Wait a moment, I need to wake you up."

Although he had heard this many times, James still felt a lump in his throat every time he heard it, and he felt like he was going to grind his teeth to dust.

Roderick wiped his sweat, smoothed his hair, and tidied himself up. Then he turned on his personal terminal and requested to communicate with Han Ling.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

After three greetings, Roderick habitually raised a smile, preparing to say good morning to Lord Han Ling.

This time, however, after the communication was established, Roderick only saw complete darkness.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The sound of breathing seemed endless, continuing indefinitely.

Roderick laughed:

"Lord Han Ling? Please wake up."

His only response was the babbling of a sleeper.

"Hmm? Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

Seeing that Han Ling was sleeping soundly, Roderick couldn't bear to disturb her sleep any longer, so he quietly hung up the call.

James leaned closer to Roderick and asked curiously:

"Why did you hang up so quickly after we just connected? You used to talk for at least an hour!"

Roderick shrugged:

"Your Excellency is still asleep. He has nothing to do today, so we won't wake him. Let him sleep a little longer."

Upon hearing this, James said enviously:

“You’re a true soulmate! Unlike me, every time we meet at night, it’s just physical intimacy.”

Roderick's lips twitched, and he stood up speechlessly.

"Alright, you're better, you win! Let's go eat."

James chuckled, stood up, and left the training field with his arm around Roderick's shoulder.

As they walked, James patted Roderick on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Comparing the two of us now, I have more experience, so you should learn from me."

I guarantee that once you've learned even a fraction of my skills, Lord Han Ling will be absolutely infatuated with you!

You have no idea how much the gentleman in my dream likes me; I'm completely infatuated with him.

It was through you in my dream that I learned how attractive I am to male insects—something I never dared to imagine before. I can actually be a little vixen.

Upon hearing this, Roderick looked utterly disgusted.

He brushed James's hand away and quickly took two steps to get away from the pervert.

"Tsk!" James raised an eyebrow and shouted, "You don't believe me? I'm telling the truth, hmph, you'll definitely regret this! This is the only way for you to become the peerless little beauty... cough cough cough......"

Roderick grabbed James by the neck and pulled him forward, cursing with a dark expression:

"Shut up, go eat, shut your damn mouth!"

James whispered:

"You're just jealous. I'm not going to practice with you today. I'm going to go to bed early and meet my lord, hmph!"
