Chapter 623 Black Seed

"Is the young master asking about Black people?"

Kerry was very open with Yun Zhao and readily explained: "That is a unique product of the Pupil Shadow Clan. It is the cornerstone of their construction of the Eternal Realm. It can bypass the conventional physical rules and directly transform spiritual obsessions into quantum condensed matter of physical reality."

Yun Zhao was taken aback, thinking of the countless polluted areas born from obsession.

"Physicalization...consciousness?"

"Yes, black people can infiltrate the genetic chain of living organisms and stimulate gene mutations."

Kerry raised his mechanical arm, touched the bow on his head, and continued to educate her, "When they invade lower civilizations, they spread black seeds to stimulate the mental mutation of native creatures and generate enough food for them to survive."

"Of course, there are times of failure. If a person's obsession is too deep, the black race will also change its form and materialize its spiritual world. Non-living things may also be affected. This is how the contaminated area here was formed."

The surroundings were deathly silent.

The weight of the truth pressed down heavily.

The sentinels were thus caught off guard and obtained the answer that had puzzled humanity for two hundred years.

The root cause of countless disasters and mutations is actually a long-planned "sowing" and "harvesting" by an advanced civilization!

Xia Mingang suddenly looked up: "So those monsters, those contaminated areas... were all experimental accidents caused by these things?!"

Kerry turned to him and said cruelly, “Yes, the ‘Black Race’ is spreading. The will of the Shadow Race has taken root in your homeland, trying to distort reality, cover it with their mark, and incorporate it into their ‘eternity’.”

"The Shadow Clan feeds on consciousness and uses it to invade lower civilizations. Many years ago, other planets in the universe also experienced similar events, but the Federation eventually defeated them."

Kerry: "Your planet is going through this process."

"Well, because this place is too remote, belonging to an unregistered 'remote area,' and strictly speaking, it does not fall under the conditions of defeat. They have not violated the 'Star Sea Hunting Treaty,' so the owner has no right to demand that they leave."

Kerry's voice was like a heavy boulder, crashing down on everyone's hearts.

The enemy comes from a more advanced civilization, and humanity is helpless in the face of their invasion.

The root of a nightmare that has plagued humanity for two centuries... the deaths of countless compatriots, the fall of homes, the relentless battles day and night, and the suffering of struggling to survive in the wasteland...

All the suffering on Earth was nothing more than a tacitly approved "legal" plunder from the stars.

The homeland they fought so hard to protect didn't even qualify for protection under a higher set of rules.

The sentries' shoulders trembled slightly, a sense of powerlessness and anger they had never felt before almost consuming them.

The entire hall was filled with an almost stagnant atmosphere of grief and despair.

This truth is more devastating to a person's will than any physical attack.

Yun Zhao stood there, feeling as if Kerry's words were like cold needles, piercing her heart one by one, bringing a belated but sharp pain.

That feeling of powerlessness was all too familiar to her.

This land that nurtured her yet tormented her was placed on an unfair chessboard from the very beginning.

A cold rage, mixed with deep sorrow, slowly burned within her chest.

This anger was not for herself, but for all the lives that had been taken away and trampled on in this land.

"Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword; to fall behind is to be attacked..."

Jiang Mu's voice became hoarse with extreme anger as he said self-deprecatingly, "The law of the jungle really does apply everywhere."

Xie Tu clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He closed his eyes, but what flashed before his eyes was the image of Wang Jiayi falling down.

Two hundred years of blood and fire, struggle and sacrifice, are not even considered a reason for "breaking the rules" in the eyes of advanced civilizations.

He was frighteningly rational at that moment, calmly asking, "If we kill the red-eyed one, will the dark matter disappear?"

The pink bow on Kerry's head trembled slightly, and the answer he gave was despairing.

No, it won't.

The sentries had become numb with despair.

Kerry added, "Once the 'Black Seed' is activated, it is like a seed that has been sown, it will sustain itself and continuously transform the surrounding reality rules. Even if the current 'Gardener' is eliminated, the 'crops' that have already grown will not disappear immediately."

"Well, in terms you can understand, it's called a 'runaway growth' state. Without the restraint of the Shadow Clan's will, the spread of dark matter may become even more irregular, and may even cause more severe spatial distortions."

This is what makes dark matter so terrifying.

"But it also has its advantages, such as distorting spacetime, stimulating the evolution of life forms, and... endowing them with eternal life force."

Kerry said with distress, "This has driven many people in the Federation crazy, some of whom are willing to break the law to search for traces of black people."

Its words reminded Xie Tu of the woman he had encountered on the endless staircase.

She appears to be a fervent follower of dark matter.

Did you break the law?

The specific punishments under interstellar law are currently unclear, but judging from the situation where she is trapped here by Yun Jue, even with eternal life, she fears legal sanctions.

Xia Mingang was already eagerly asking, "Then how can we make the dark matter disappear?"

Kerry: "There are two ways."

Upon hearing that there was a solution, everyone forced themselves to perk up and listen attentively.

"The first option is to find and destroy the source core of the 'black race,' but at your current level of civilization, it is almost impossible to reach it."

Unreachable?

It's the same as saying nothing at all.

Fu Pei's patience ran out, and she pressed on, "What about the second one?"

"The second type..."

Kerry's robotic arm tapped lightly, "Cover it! Use a more powerful and ordered 'rules' to forcibly rewrite the underlying logic of the 'Black Race,' rendering it inactive and gradually decomposing it into harmless basic particles."

Xia Mingang was furious. "If we were powerful enough to overshadow it and rewrite its rules, would humanity have been forced into this situation?"

Kerry concluded that they could not get close to the source.

The second option is simply impossible.

Ultimately, neither of these methods is something they can accomplish!

Kerry spread his hands. "I've already given you the answer. Whether you can do it or not is your business. I can't interfere, otherwise it will cause trouble for the master, well, although he already has enough trouble..."

Yun Zhao then looked up and asked, "What if I order you to intervene?"

Kerry turned around and immediately switched to a coaxing tone when facing Yun Zhao: "Of course I'll listen to my little master! My little master is so great, he gave Kerry an order!"
