"As you can see, even without any gaps, the power of the abyss can still be found inside the sanctuary."

"The main body of the shelter has been completely overrun, and the strongest person in the shelter has been invaded by the abyss and turned into a demon seed. There is no hope left for the shelter."

"Therefore, I am now issuing the death penalty order, using the euthanasia program to let everyone die in their dreams."

"This is the last contribution we can make to the world."

The old man remained expressionless throughout his speech.

"I have compiled all the data. If anyone in the future is able to overcome the power of the abyss and discover this refuge, you may take all the data. Now, I am going to perish with my people."

Immediately, the old man took out a pistol made of an unknown material and pressed it against his temple.

The video then went black.

"Bang!"

There was no blood or corpse, but the entire video was filled with despair and death...

After a long while, a large amount of information was transmitted through the decomposition pool.

What comes into view are the names of people from the Abyss Shelter, along with various information and achievements about them...

And Nie Yuan's man was also among them.

As these names passed away, all sorts of information appeared in the Zerg's database.

Whether it's scientific knowledge or gene sequences.

The deep base has no reservations and no restrictions whatsoever.

They inscribed their planet and everything they possessed into this energy crystal without reservation.

Jiang Wang stared blankly at the materials, feeling no joy in gaining knowledge.

Instead, I felt a strong sense of weight and solemnity.

How much weight can the names and knowledge of all the people on a planet carry?

The answer is: one kilogram.

He stared at the tiny crystal, lost in thought.

Jiang Wang was constantly killing along the way; death was commonplace for him, but such scenes still left him with a profound sense of awe...

This is no longer just death, but extinction.

It is the extinction of a species.

That energy crystal was the last trace left by these creatures.

The messages inside provide further insight into the power and strength of the myriad nations, yet even so, they still perished.

Even the last thing they could do for their people was to perform euthanasia, letting their last subjects die in their dreams.

This profound exploration of history, this resolute yet unwilling acceptance of death...

This gave Jiang Wang an indescribable feeling...

But despite his feelings, Jiang Wang didn't hesitate to take what he was supposed to take.

The Zerg will take all the instruments and equipment they have.

In the end, only a pile of bones remained...

After some thought, Jiang Wang finally had the Zerg collect the skeletons, dig a pit in a remote star, and arranged them as neatly as possible to give the deceased a dignified appearance.

In the end, they even put on a tombstone.

[A distant planet, a distant refuge, the graveyard of all refugees.]

It's just a small act of kindness towards these deceased people.

After all, people in China believe in the importance of being buried in peace.

The Zerg then began searching the planet for all usable minerals, and even the shelter might be dismantled and taken away, since it contained high-quality alloys...

That's why Jiang Wang is so particular.

Jiang Wang tried his best to give the skeletons of the dead a dignified appearance.

For those places that were no longer of any value, Jiang Wang let them play a final role in warming up.

It boils down to two words: meticulousness.

As the information was entered into the database from the energy crystal, Jiang Wang gradually became immersed in all sorts of knowledge and genes, to the point that he put the research on the weaknesses of the demonic seed aside.

It's not that researching the weaknesses of demons is unimportant.

The message within that energy crystal was simply too tempting.

Firstly, it contains the information about all nations that Jiang Wang needs most right now.

Secondly, it contains records of all the gene sequences and arrangement samples searched by the Far East Base.

They even have design blueprints for their weapons and equipment.

The comprehensiveness of the content impressed Jiang Wang.

"This is really..."

In fact, the comprehensive nature of these energy crystals has multiple meanings.

If in the future their descendants are able to enter the Abyss Zone, or if the Kingdom of Ten Thousand has regressed in technology by countless years because of defeating the Abyss, then these crystals will be the treasures for restoring the Kingdom or restoring its national strength.

If their entire nation were to ultimately perish in the abyss.

These energy crystals would then be the last evidence of their existence.

Some relics record the cultures of all nations, others record art...

Some, like Shenyuan, are very comprehensive in their records.

...

Such energy crystals can be seen as humanity's final act of defiance and cry against the powerful abyss.

Just like in the movie "Nanjing! Nanjing!"

Faced with despicable aggressors.

The man uttered a simple yet profoundly moving statement.

"My wife is pregnant again."

It's just a few very simple words.

But it represents hope.

It represents the spirit of continuous life.

As long as the lineage continues uninterrupted, the nation will not perish, and the family will not perish.

Even if everyone in the entire world were to die.

So when someone obtains these energy crystals and learns about their history, it can be considered a continuation of the spirit of all nations.

Jiang Wang understood the significance of this energy crystal.

In some respects, I should even be considered a person from all nations.

Before the abyss, it was the Kingdom of Ten Thousand that accepted all the people from other worlds and established a kingdom.

But at this moment, a despicable thief, the Kaiyuan royal family.

He abandoned the spirit of all nations, relinquished the legitimacy of all nations, and even personally killed the last legitimate bloodline of all nations.

Now, they want to exterminate all the people from other worlds.

At this crucial moment, Jiang Wang found such a complete energy crystal at the very first stop on his journey into the abyss.

He sometimes couldn't help but lament the cruel tricks of fate.

Although he encountered a high-level diamond demon seed as soon as he landed, this gain was enough for Jiang Wang to accept the battle he had just fought.

As Jiang Wang delved deeper into the study of genes and recorded information, he gradually discovered some races documented by various nations...

The functions described for these races are very much in line with the currently desired unit models.

It is also currently the only unit model that can supplement the Zerg's ground-to-air capabilities.

With slight modifications, they could even become a race capable of fighting in the void. If this could be accomplished, it would greatly compensate for the Zerg's lack of combat power in the void.

And that's not all.

The records also contain a great deal of information about energy cycles, and even ship design...

Suddenly, an inspiration struck Jiang Wang.

These inspirations even led to the creation of a model for the next warship, and the solutions to problems that could be modified from existing warships...

For a time, Jiang Wang was once again immersed in scientific research mode.

Anna naturally took over command of the external expansion.
