...?

Everyone was really confused.

What's the meaning……

If it's really as it says, then it's great that the scarlet crystal has been consumed, but...

"So, what exactly are you doing this for?" Zhao Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to restart the teleportation formation?"

Xu Xin seemed to understand its idea.

Could it be that it wants to...

"Are you trying to... deceive the mother planet in this way?" Xu Ying's eyes moved and she muttered to herself.

"It seems that you have figured it out."

The monster nodded.

"Yes, that's what I thought."

"The resources of this planet are very important to the mother planet. After all, here is the hope for the continuation of their race."

White crystal.

The alien invaders had to travel through the universe for tens of thousands of years to find the supplies.

"So, what do you think would happen if we cut off all the resources and communications to our home planet?"

Everyone was silent.

It's obvious.

The mother planet is likely to send a fleet again to check the situation and exploit resources.

Even if the journey is long and difficult.

After all, the hope of their race lies here.

"...So, you want to continue offering tribute to them?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked, "Isn't that too..."

"At least it can't be interrupted now."

Before the monster could speak, Xu Xin spoke.

He has actually been worried about this issue.

They drove away the alien invaders, but what should they do when another fleet comes from their home planet?

Although it is very difficult for them to return, they can still get through in a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years.

His idea at that time was to rapidly develop technology by relying on the world tree where time flows extremely fast!

Before the alien invaders' home planet's giant ships return, they must have the technology to resist the alien invaders!

But it’s not very stable.

But now, the monster gave another option.

"We can gradually reduce our tribute. During this time, we can develop our own technology," the monster said. "When the time is right, we can tell them that Earth's resources are depleted and stop supplying them."

Xu Ying nodded: "This is indeed the safest approach."

Her heart is beating a little faster now.

She didn't know, were they... already successful?

"What do you want to do with the remaining rebels?" she asked.

"There aren't many scarlet crystals left."

As it said this, the monster took out the remaining piece of concentrated scarlet crystal.

The light illuminated the entire room, causing everyone to frown.

But then it retracted.

But everyone has seen it.

That’s about the size of a basketball.

A round concentrated crystal that has been melted to the point of having almost no edges and corners by the high temperature of the explosion.

"These are all I have left. I can't afford to keep many more, so..."

The monster said in a negotiating tone, "I plan to keep some of them as my living gene bank. What do you think? They can't cause any more trouble, and this scarlet crystal will only keep them alive for... maybe a year or two."

"We don't have the right to interfere with your choice. Besides..."

Xu Xin looked at it and asked, "Before you came here, you took all the members of your 'race' away. They should all be here now, right?"

Humans who have undergone various mutations, with necks that can stretch and heads full of worms.

Those little monsters it created.

"They... are in another world tree." The monster's mouth slightly cracked, as if smiling. "I plan to stay here and make this place my base."

"You... aren't going back?" Li Wenxi asked.

She was not very confident about this monster who had taken advantage of them, so she casually played the emotional card: "Sister Gui Xin is still looking forward to your return."

"We can communicate through teleportation, it doesn't mean we are breaking off relations." The monster said with a grin.

"...So, this was your goal from the very beginning." Xu Xin looked at it and said.

"...Yes." The monster nodded. "However, if you truly possess the ability to completely destroy the Condensed Crimson Crystal, I will gladly accept it. My plan is based on a win-win situation."

Its plan was really successful.

"Won't you take us to visit the other two world trees?" Xu Xin stood up and smiled slightly.

"Of course, no problem." The monster's mouth cracked. "I will naturally show everything to my allies."
