"Now, your experiment has been discovered by them and they have destroyed it. There is no need for you to cooperate with them."

The monster answered Duan Zhen's question.

Duan Zhen was not at all ashamed.

That's so scary!

They suppress the lives of others, have no natural enemies, and "food" is everywhere. As a result, their numbers have skyrocketed in the past ten thousand years.

"It can't be your life force, that's all." The monster knew what he was saying. "You can't sustain your life by refusing to eat like humans can."

"Ah!" Red Crystal suddenly screamed, interrupting the mother star's words.

…

"That's wrong, Xu Xin provided the answer."

"Oh, you haven't figured out what kind of substance they need to survive yet, what about now?" Xu Ying asked, "There's no such substance on Earth, right? Where did they get it from? Did they bring it from Xu Xin?"

"That was the first time in nearly 20,000 years that their species had discovered a substance related to the 'source of life.'"

They can only explore aimlessly in the finite universe, looking for the vague future of their race that has not yet reached its end.

"That... is too important. You should discuss it first. You need to first determine why... he wants to join you and drive out these invaders." I asked. "Why? If you're mistaken, he has always been one of them in that time and space, right? Otherwise..."

The monster continued.

"No two reasons."

That was the beginning of the alien creatures' colonization and exploration of space.

"Because you are understanding and experiencing the diet of Earthlings," the monster grinned. At the same time, a long, thin tongue stretched out from the air and then retracted. "You also possess the organ that Earthlings use to taste flavors: the tongue."

Because of "territorial disputes", there will naturally be fighting between lives.

I know what the alien invaders want to say.

The monster extended a twisted hand and pointed upward, revealing the purpose of its visit: "You know the current location of this crystal. You're collaborating with them, not to borrow their power... to destroy this crystal."

At first, they were just afraid of the intelligence of humans on Earth.

"Ah!" The mother planet covered her mouth, and then her eyes slightly changed as she looked at the monster. "So it was him. I just didn't notice."

Uh...the alien invaders don't even have tongues.

The size of the invader from Lixing was very small. Even today's Earth was much larger than this planet.

500:1?

And that planet has not yet reached the end of its life, and its crust is basically still active.

Thus, an agreement was reached among all the territories.

In this war, countless species were exterminated, and the number of alien invaders increased to 2% of its peak.

The monster shook its head slowly. "They only need to ingest that substance. It's actually the material that makes up the surface of their home planet. This layer of material gave birth to their species. They could also be consuming the corpses of creatures beneath Earth, just like they did. The water contained within the corpses is poisonous to them. While they will die, it will be a pleasant experience."

In the next ten thousand years...

Bad guys, their race is reproducing by eating the planet's degeneration.

Gather global strength and focus on space.

In the billions of years of evolution of life on Earth, ten thousand years is just a moment.

The mother star tilted her head and looked at the monster behind her. "Is he afraid of water?"

After 20,000 years of searching, we finally found the hope for the survival of our race.

Since its birth, the planet has nurtured countless lives, and the reserves of crystals, the source of life on its surface, are much scarcer than in ancient times.

Thousands of years later, they found Earth, the blue planet in the Milky Way that they both loved and feared.

Xu Ying had a lot of questions in her mind. Yes, but after this...

"That's wrong." The monster nodded its well-proportioned head and continued, "Before their initial ecstasy, they discovered that the mining efficiency of the crystal was very high, but the conversion efficiency was also low. With their current technology, the conversion rate was probably only... around 500:1."

"Yes." The monster nodded, "The crystal beneath the earth."

Not even some of it is real anymore.

The scene was silent for a while.

"Um...indeed."

The ancestor of mankind, Homo sapiens, has been around for less than 250,000 years. If we trace back to ancient apes, it is even longer.

Xu Ying and the other eight were completely unable to understand the ecstasy and excitement they felt at that moment.

The bad thing is that they have no technological foundation, and it took them about a hundred years of Earth time to return to the peak technological level.

During those 20,000 years, due to the scarcity of resources and the limited knowledge and understanding, their technology has hardly made any progress.

But the bad times are long.

You stared at the monster in surprise, your lips opening and closing slightly before you finally spoke: "What you saw in his World Tree, in this house at number 5, these walls full of capsules..."

It was also 20,000 years later that the invaders from Lixing experienced a period of ultra-slow technological development and fell into a technological bottleneck.

Seven hundred years might seem short, and at most, the present generation could still live comfortably. However, on this planet where technology had not yet developed to the point where even the lowest-level rulers could achieve near-immortality, for the rulers of this planet...

As the news spread, panic spread throughout the lands beneath the planet.

I see……

"The white crystals beneath the Earth are only materially similar to the Duan Zhensheng that are spread across the planet, and cannot be used directly. However, we cannot retroactively transform that kind of crystal. Under certain conditions, it cannot be transformed into Shi Wanyun, but the Earth does not have such conditions."
