Chapter 186

Ye Ruian's emotions seemed to be out of control.

At least that's what people around me think.

But the one with the most out-of-control emotions was actually the emperor far away in the Orc Empire.

The emperor of the Orc Empire was watching the live broadcast while handling affairs. When he heard about Ye Ruian, he was ready to watch the show with great interest.

He was actually quite curious about what had happened to Ye Ruian. He didn't go to explore the ruins, which led to his miserable situation.

However, after hearing a series of subsequent news from Ye Ruian, the orc emperor Feng Qi, who was already over a hundred years old but still handsome, was stunned at first, and then his first reaction was that it was over.

"It's over. Even if Feng Li suddenly becomes humble and gentle, it won't stop Ye Ruian from wanting to kill him."

Feng Qi thought back to the personality test and analysis he had done on Ye Ruian before, and the more he thought about it, the worse the situation seemed.

Ye Ruian values his family the most, especially his adoptive parents. After all, they were the only ones who had always stood by Ye Ruian.

But even if one has not had the same experience as Ye Ruian, any normal person would probably react with rage upon hearing this news.

Not to mention Ye Ruian.

As expected, Ye Ruian contacted him on the spot and wanted to send Feng Li away. Feng Qi knew that Ye Ruian had made a concession for his sake.

If we follow this person's wishes, given his violent temper, Feng Li would be lucky to be able to keep his life. Now he just has to withdraw from the project.

Feng Qi sighed when he thought about this. If he had other heirs, would he still protect Feng Li like this?

I should have thrown this guy out long ago to let Ye Ruian vent his anger.

Feng Qi thought.

But even if he only had this one heir, he would naturally not let Ye Ruian run away for such a small matter as Feng Li's gilding.

Unfortunately, before he could finish, Ye Ruian hung up the phone and started speaking into the public channel, the sound so loud that he could hear it clearly.

Feng Qi did not feel dissatisfied with Ye Ruian because of this incident. If he encountered such a thing, he would probably scold him even more harshly than Ye Ruian.

He quickly asked the people on the starship to escort Feng Li back to his own room, to wait for a few hours before handing over to the prime minister he had sent over.

"...I hereby solemnly apologize to Mr. Ye Ruian. We will listen to his opinions on compensation and punishment after he returns to China."

Feng Qi said seriously, and Feng Li's expression already looked very bad.

But no one cared much about his expression.

After hearing the decision made by Feng Qi, no matter what Feng Li's expression was, at least the people present breathed a sigh of relief.

Now everyone is afraid that this person will do something irrational to Ye Ruian.

Even if the emperor of the Orc Empire cannot kill his beloved son, everyone on the starship will keep Feng Li under close watch - at least don't let him appear next to Ye Ruian.

It would be best if no one from the Orc Empire appeared around Ye Ruian.

After all, just thinking about the situation on the other side is chilling.

It was just that there was a problem with Ye Ruian's life trajectory, which led to them and the parallel world taking opposite directions.

On their side, they could still explore with peace of mind, even quite leisurely, but on the other side, they were at the end of the road, and when they encountered obvious abnormalities, they could only bite the bullet and rush in.

So even if everyone knew that it was something done by Feng Li in the parallel world, Feng Li in this world would never do that after knowing the importance of Ye Ruian.

But we are not afraid of ten thousand things, but we are afraid of the possibility that sometimes the interstellar era also emphasizes feudal superstition.

Although Feng Li didn't make a fuss when he left, he looked very unconvinced.

"That was what I did in the parallel world." Feng Li said in a calm voice. The soldiers who were sent to do this thankless task did not say anything, but just smiled bitterly at Feng Li.

When Ye Ruian heard Feng Li's speech in the private chat channel, he said nothing but his expression became even darker.

Fortunately, there are still kind people willing to explain for Feng Li.

"Those admirers you sent away thought the same thing. They didn't do anything wrong to you, but you still sent them to the prison of the opposite sex, didn't you?"

Ethan knocked on the table in front of him again and again. He looked quite unhappy, and his green eyes, which originally seemed gentle, seemed a little sharp because of this incident.

At least Feng Li suddenly felt that he was unable to look the other person in the eye.

"If you say that you killed Ye Ruian's parents, this didn't happen, but you sent those so-called admirers to the opposite sex prison. This is not something you did in the parallel universe."

The blonde beauty also seemed to be in a very unhappy mood. She looked at Feng Li, who still had a somewhat unconvinced expression on his face, and finally spoke in a rare and stern voice.

"The things you did in the parallel universe were just stopped in this world. If they hadn't been stopped, you would still be able to do them."

Ethan's tone was steady and calm. Feng Li wanted to refute, but when he met Ethan's sharp eyes, he was speechless.

What kind of person he is, doesn't he know it himself?

Feng Li was finally willing to be taken away by his father's men, which made the people present feel relieved. With Feng Li gone, at least one hidden danger was eliminated.

Ye Ruian also snorted. Although he looked a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

But she was still in a low mood, and Ethan seemed to notice that Ye Ruian didn't look very interested, so he rarely offended the old prime minister and asked a question.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know if you could tell me what has become of the other three countries in that world?"

Listening to Ethan's question, the old prime minister knew at a glance that Ethan was trying to divert Ye Ruian's attention, but the old prime minister felt that he might not answer.

——After all, isn’t this just exposing one’s own shortcomings?

However, what he didn't expect was that the person on the other side actually answered, and the answer was even quite detailed.

"...There's no need to talk about our alliance. Ever since the virus broke out three months ago, Theodore has been fighting on the front lines. He is currently suppressing the enemy. Although some troops below have mutinied, they have been suppressed and there are no major losses for the time being."

The old prime minister on the opposite side briefly mentioned the alliance, and then focused on the Orc Empire and the Holy Star Empire.

"——The Emperor Feng Qi and the Crown Prince Feng Li of the Orc Empire are still alive, but several marshals have been sacrificed. Marshal Turles also died in the battle two weeks ago. Currently, Feng Li is leading the army to fight on the front line."

The old Prime Minister opposite said with praise.

"Feng Li fought pretty well. He managed to hold off the infected people on the other side. There aren't any major problems at the moment. But the Holy Star Empire..."

The tone of the old prime minister opposite suddenly became heavy when he said this, and the people present suddenly had a bad feeling.

"--Two months ago, the Crown Prince of the Holy Star Empire and his girlfriend Su Xin participated in the battle. Fifteen days later, the Crown Prince Si Heng of the Holy Star Empire was ambushed and killed in the battle. The old emperor was so grief-stricken that he almost died with him. Fortunately, the Crown Prince's girlfriend Su Xin stepped forward as a widow and is now busy leading the troops in the battle."

"She is really talented. She overwhelmed the believers on the other side on the battlefield and even created a battle without any injuries."

When the old prime minister opposite spoke to the end, the envy, jealousy and hatred in his tone almost overflowed, which shows how powerful Su Xin is.

Si Heng was a little happy when he first heard that Su Xin was his girlfriend, but when he later heard that he had died in the battle and his girlfriend came forward as his widow, his face turned pale.

His emotions seemed to be fluctuating greatly, and the emperor of the Holy Star Empire could no longer sit still.

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister, could you please tell me where is Admiral Aaron?" The Emperor of the Holy Star Empire couldn't help but ask.

What backup plan did he leave for his son?

"Admiral Aaron is protecting you. If he hadn't led you out, I'm afraid the capital planet would have fallen. And now he is protecting this relic."

The old Prime Minister opposite sighed and said.

"Those mutants collected relics everywhere and saved all the information and texts. We still know very little about those so-called ancient gods, and the actions of these mutants played an indispensable role."

The old prime minister opposite said this while gritting his teeth.

The emperor of the Holy Star Empire didn't care what the old prime minister said. He didn't even have the mind to laugh at the neighboring Orc Empire for raising such a prince - after all, his prince was still alive, while his own was already gone in a parallel universe!

Thinking of this fact, the emperor immediately shouted to his son.

"Ah Heng, bring your girlfriend back right away! I'll send the marshal over to take over from you."

The worry in Emperor Shengxing's tone was obvious, and after Si Heng realized what was happening, he quickly nodded and said yes.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't get any gilded award for this project. After all, he is an only child and doesn't have to worry about competing for the throne. He might as well miss this opportunity.

However, when the Holy Star Emperor mentioned his girlfriend, a strange blush appeared on Si Heng's originally pale face.

"I haven't confessed my feelings to you, so how can you call me your girlfriend? It's too disrespectful to girls. But..." Si Heng felt a little relieved when he heard this title, and his face was about to burn as he thought.

"But I don't know if Su Xin is willing to be his girlfriend." Si Heng thought with pink bubbles in his mind.

If the Emperor of Holy Star knew what was going through his beloved son's mind after he learned about his worry to death, he would probably be so angry at his love-brained son that he would go into the treatment cabin.

Fortunately, he didn't know. He was even busy asking his soldiers on the starship to quickly send his beloved son back to the room for protection, and wait for the arrival of the marshal.

After Si Heng left, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into a strange silence, especially for the staff of the Orc Empire and the Holy Star Empire.

No one expected that the two old prime ministers on opposite sides would reveal a piece of information, which directly led to the two countries other than the Federation losing their apparent boss equally.

— and equally traumatized.

The Orc Empire lost a strategic-level talent like Ye Ruian, and Marshal Tours also died on the battlefield, leaving only Feng Li to fight those mutants.

The Holy Star Empire was even more miserable, as it was their own crown prince who died. General Aaron couldn't even rush back to defend his homeland. After all, he had an important mission on his shoulders, and he had to ensure that the last remains of the ancient gods would not be destroyed by those people.

Then the entire starship fell into a strange silence.

The people of the Orc Empire and the Holy Star Empire were still immersed in sorrow and had not yet recovered, while the people of the Federation did not say anything. After all, they were already the best-off group according to the old prime minister, and their words now would easily attract hatred.

Time passed in this strange silence, and Ethan took this opportunity to translate Ye Ruian's books.

Unfortunately, these books are quite numerous and diverse, even involving weird herbal medicine and various weird biology that could definitely not have evolved in this galaxy.

Although it seems useful, it doesn't do much for the current situation.

And after hearing what happened on the other side in a parallel event, Ye Ruian was strangely comforted.

Especially after Feng Li was decided to be kicked out of the project, Ye Ruian's emotions calmed down a little.

Although he was still a little anxious, he did not delay his work. On the contrary, he searched for information more and more eagerly, causing Ert and some other team members to complain to themselves in a parallel universe.

"...But there's nothing we can do. Who made this kid so miserable in the parallel universe? He's venting his emotions now, and we can't go up to persuade him. Even the captain doesn't dare to disturb him. But he saved us a lot of effort."

Principal Ert said to himself on the other side, and Ert on the other side was strangely silent when he heard this, and then slowly asked: "It sounds like he is venting through this behavior. What information did he find?"

Ert said without any defense: "It's just some ordinary information, explaining the god they believe in and some promotional materials for ancient temple tourism. Although I feel that most of the tourism information on it is made up, it is also very helpful for us to study the temple. By the way, you should have these too."

"Yes, we found these too. It seems that apart from the overlapping footprints, the two parallel universes have all the information and books on both sides."

Ert on the opposite side said, and after Ert quickly told his captain about his discovery, he once again devoted himself to collecting information.

But I don’t know when the communication with Ert on the other side was quietly hung up.

The explorers in the ruins were collecting information, and at the same time, both the marshal and the prime minister had arrived at the starship and began to hand over to their own prince.

Feng Li had nothing to hand over. He did not hold any position in the work team and did not have anything to hand over.

However, the deputy has something to hand over to the prime minister—a report on Feng Li’s behavior during this period.

Originally, this behavior report was to be handed directly to His Majesty, but when the deputy looked at what he had written...

"Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you can hand over this report on the Crown Prince's behavior during this period to His Majesty."

The deputy said this very seriously, and the Prime Minister was a little surprised at first. Did he have to take care of such a small issue?

Until he saw what the prince had done in the behavior report.

—— Flirted with Ye Ruian, flirted with Ethan, and while flirting with the above two, he also protected Ye Yu, and tried to fight with Aaron, but was forced back by the sentence "You might."

He even openly questioned the ruins.

The Prime Minister's pupils trembled as he looked at the report.

He finally understood why the deputy didn't dare to hand this thing directly to His Majesty.

——This is really intended to make His Majesty so angry that he goes into the treatment cabin.

But as a qualified prime minister, he must hand over this report to His Majesty.

So the Prime Minister chose to pass a copy of the report to the Chief Physician.

Reading this report under the supervision of a doctor, even if you are really unlucky enough to faint from anger, it should be okay.

The Prime Minister thought about it, but immediately put the matter behind him and walked into the meeting room.

——The matter of the ruins is more important.

When he entered the conference room, another marshal of the Holy Star Empire was already there.

It was a woman, dressed in a marshal's dress, who looked somewhat difficult to get along with, but whose outlines were gentle.

The Prime Minister immediately put on a social smile, and in his mind he was matching the information he had received previously with the woman in front of him.

Xu Junbai is the first female beta admiral. However, she rarely appears in front of the media and always silently guards the edge of the Holy Star Empire.

It seems that he had been married before, but because of the Zerg, his partner and his children died, so he has been single ever since.

The Prime Minister was wondering what the Emperor of the Holy Star Empire was thinking about by letting such a marshal come over, and he stepped forward to greet him.

"Hello, Your Excellency Marshal, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The Prime Minister said this, but when he walked up to him, he found that this person seemed to be a head taller than him.

After all, he was a marshal so it was quite normal - he was just a little annoyed that the other party lowered his head slightly when talking to him.

However, after he lowered his head, the outline of his face seemed softer.

The Prime Minister even thought that he looked familiar.

But before the Prime Minister could remember what looked familiar, something strange suddenly happened on the normally functioning holographic screen!

Several members of the expedition team who were just searching for information suddenly mutated without any warning!

*

When Ert suddenly mutated, Seti was right beside him. He had just heard Ert's scream and turned his head when the mutation happened.

"ah--!"

Along with screams, countless mouths suddenly grew out of Ert's body, as if they had emerged from his flesh and blood, and even each of these mouths had a tongue and a throat.

——Seti felt at that moment that he might never dare to look other people’s mouths directly in his life.

And because these mouths have throats, their vocal cords are intact, so all of them are chattering incomprehensible words.

Seeing that there were teeth marks on Ett's eyelids, neck, and even hands, Seti immediately pressed the help button after he realized what was happening.

Then the exoskeleton on Ert's body turned into a capsule at the fastest speed and flew up, heading straight for the intersection.

The image in front of the capsule immediately appeared on Sett's light computer.

Seti breathed a sigh of relief when the capsule rushed out of the temple gate and fell into Aaron's hands.

but……

Why are there so many capsules around Aaron?

Now Seti could no longer sit still and immediately joined the private chat channel, where the other expedition members were already discussing the matter.

"——You guys also mutated suddenly? You didn't even feel hypnotized like when you mutated before?"

Seti keenly grasped Senwan's words and sorted out the key points.

People in the private chat channel also realized that something was wrong, but now they have too little information and they don’t know what the reason is.

"Maybe they know something. Our current progress is not as good as theirs, and they also said before that they have some mutations."

Ye Ruian interrupted at this time.

"Compared to sending us back immediately after we mutate, even if they mutate, as long as they remain rational and can move, they will probably continue to explore the ruins."

Speaking of this, Ye Ruian's mood also became depressed.

Most of the explorers in the private chat channel felt that Ye Ruian was right. Perhaps the person on the other side really knew something. However, Seti felt that this was a bit rash.

But after Aaron's message came through, indicating that the explorers were still conscious and that a little painkiller would not affect their thinking, he finally made a call to the old prime minister.

After learning about this, the old prime minister realized that something was wrong, so he acquiesced to Ye Ruian to ask the other party.

It's just that Sett will take his place.

——Save the trouble of direct conversation and the other party will use any rhetoric.

When Sett asked himself about this matter, Sett on the other side was a little confused.

"Sudden mutation? Did you run into something? Or did you do something you shouldn't have done?"

"Although this relic is a little weird, it still follows the rules. As long as you don't disrespect the relic or touch anything you shouldn't touch, at most you'll grow something on your body."

Seti on the opposite side explained patiently.

"But we do have several team members who suddenly mutated, and they did everything when it happened. One even mutated just by standing."

Seti said with a frown.

Sett on the opposite side seemed to have never heard of this symptom. He frowned and thought for a long time before speaking.

"...Maybe it's because of the books from the church in your hands?" Seti said uncertainly, "We didn't take out any books from the church."

Now everyone present turned their eyes to Ye Ruian, and the silver-haired little wolf cub naturally couldn't help but lose his temper and shouted directly on the public channel.

"Come on, no one touched the book in my hand, but I did it myself, and nothing has happened to me yet! If anything needs to mutate, I should be the first one to mutate."

"Maybe they encountered something else. We still have to rely on their recollection." Sett on the opposite side casually changed the topic and shifted his target to the person who had just mutated.

Just when the old prime minister was about to help, Ye Ruian said confidently: "Then please ask Ert from your side to come out and tell us what he encountered after entering the ruins. Ert from our side should also tell us. By comparing them, won't we be able to find the problem on both sides?"

Although Ye Ruian's words were a bit excessive, they were also normal. Even if the other party didn't want to, he could just let him refuse.

but……

The other side fell into a strange silence.

A silence as dead as death.

"Hello? Can you hear me? Is Ert on the other side there?" Only Ye Ruian's voice was echoing in the entire public channel.

At this moment, Professor Ethan suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open and his pupils tightly locked, obviously he had seen something horrible.

He did not say anything, but walked quickly to the old prime minister and showed him the information he had just translated.

When the old prime minister saw the serious look on Ethan's face, he immediately shut down all communications and activated confidentiality measures before picking up the information.

When he saw the words on the document, he took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice after a long time.

"…So, the so-called parallel world is just a toy of the gods? We have to perform a ritual to escape from him?"

Ethan nodded heavily and said, "Based on the current information, this is the case. And based on the current information, the ritual..."

“Whoever succeeds first will be the first to escape from this game.”
