Chapter 182 Chapter 182 Ending

Time goes back to the moment when Xilos rushed in.

Bai Yu really didn't expect that someone could track him here and ambush him.

He planned carefully. Not only did he arrange for multiple people to disguise themselves, he also specifically disguised himself as an intelligent engineer.

But the opponent had a clear goal, and his attack was fierce, going straight to his vital points, and he almost saw through all his preparations!

The air suddenly shifted, and the entire space was instantly enveloped by an extremely rich plant scent. Before Bai Yu could react, the breath surged through his mouth and nose like a surging tide. In the blink of an eye, he felt something growing wildly within him!

It felt like countless tiny steel needles were piercing his internal organs at the same time, causing him to groan in pain.

Bai Yu's old eyes narrowed slightly, his expression dark and unpredictable. He had indeed been tricked!

At the same time, in the blink of an eye, the opponent forced him to the edge of the corner, and even the fused orc beside him was no match for the opponent.

As Bai Yu dodged sideways, the fused orc beside him quickly blocked the fatal blow. Just as he thought he'd dodged the attack, he was struck by a sledgehammer, slamming into the metal wall. The immense force of the impact instantly embedded his body into the wall, and his brain went into a brief buzzing.

But the next second, excitement overcame Bai Yu's surprise and severe pain caused by the precise attack. Bai Yu's heart was pounding, and a scorching light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xilos.

The Emperor Dragon Clan is powerful, but not everyone can awaken. In the past century, only a handful of Emperor Dragons have awakened. Even Emperor Dragons, whose power increased significantly after transforming into orc-fusions, have failed to awaken. But this person before him wasn't even a member of the Emperor Dragon Clan!

The news of Long Qi's awakening had already made him overjoyed, but he didn't expect that there was another one hiding here!

He had painstakingly researched for years, investing vast amounts of manpower and resources, only to achieve some success. But now, two Awakeners had appeared directly in the Directly Controlled Area!

As long as he can capture them alive, he will definitely be able to completely uncover the secret of awakening this time!

But such a rich ocean atmosphere, such a strong spiritual power—

"Catch him!"

This was his territory, the core area of ​​the research institute he had painstakingly cultivated over the years. Even if the Galaxy mainframe had been destroyed by them, he had already made sufficient preparations. How could he put himself in danger?

Bai Yu gave the order, no longer hesitating. As he operated, something began to rapidly disperse along the lines of the wall. A faint fishy odor instantly filled the air, and dozens of flashing blue laser beams swarmed out from the wall, firing towards Siros.

Siros reacted extremely quickly, using his size advantage to quickly avoid the laser beam attack, but at the same time he was also forced away from Bai Yu. Those laser beams seemed to have completely locked onto him, chasing him no matter how sharply he turned.

The next second, the shell spirit body finally found the laser launching device and directly crushed the cores of all the launching devices around it.

Bai Yu was already old, and now because of the extreme pain and excessive excitement in his body, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

In the past, the awakened forms created by the Emperor Dragon's awakening could only fight alone, but the person before him could actually crush multiple devices at the same time. This was enough to prove that he might have more than one awakened form! His strength was in no way inferior—no, it far surpassed that of any Emperor Dragon!

Bai Yu, under the tight protection of the fused orcs, quickly manipulated his hands in the air. A blue data stream rapidly refreshed and scrolled across the screen before his eyes, flickering light and shadows flickering on their faces. The fishy stench in the air seemed even stronger.

Siros clearly had the upper hand, but at this moment, the bodies of the fused orcs began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye! Their muscles bulged layer by layer with a tearing sound, and their veins expanded and bulged. Their clothes, which had originally fit them, were now tightly stretched around their bulging muscles, and the texture of the muscles was clearly visible.

This strange scene caused the experienced marine orcs around Xilos to feel physically uncomfortable, but they had no time to care about anything else at this time.

Following Bai Yu's operation, harsh sound waves first resounded in the room.

Fortunately, Xilos and the others had been prepared and were not affected too much, but they didn't know what means Bai Yu used. As soon as his spirit body approached Bai Yu, his mental power would be madly sucked away in an instant, as if Bai Yu had an invisible layer of protection around him.

Bai Yu clearly couldn't see his spiritual body, but he instantly realized that he had awakened, and he had already come up with a way to deal with the spiritual body!

This incident was really weird. Silos decisively shifted his target of attack, and the fused orcs around Bai Yu began to be knocked down quickly.

But Bai Yu didn't care. He continued to shout loudly, arrogantly and greedily, "Tell me, how did you awaken?"

"Just tell me and I'll let bygones be bygones!"

“Puff—”

The severe pain stimulated Bai Yu's nerves, and he suddenly thought of something, "It was Ye Ning, right! It was Ye Ning who awakened you!"

Indeed, the creation of an awakened form requires extremely pure spiritual power. A person with an A-level spiritual level could easily evolve to S-level after consuming the plants she cultivated, let alone an orc who had already surpassed S-level?!

Bai Yu's frantic expression when he mentioned Ye Ning completely ignited the murderous intent in Xiluo Si's eyes. His previously calm eyes suddenly turned into a bone-chilling coldness, as if even the temperature of the air around them had dropped a few degrees.

But Bai Yu didn't care. The cramping in his internal organs and the realization of his awakening had already left him no time to think about anything else. He endured the excruciating pain and continued to stare at Xiluo Si with his cloudy eyes. "You went to such great lengths to kill me, just for Ye Ning?! Are you so sure that killing me, Ye Ning, will keep you safe?!"

"Whatever benefits the other party gave you, I will give you a hundred times or a thousand times. Not only can I keep you safe, but I can also let you get what you want-"

Before Bai Yu finished speaking, something strange happened! The fused orcs closest to him suddenly changed direction at the same time and pounced fiercely at him!

Bai Yu's pupils shrank. In the nick of time, he used the blocking of the other fused orcs beside him to provide some cushion, and instinctively dodged the vital attack. But even so, he couldn't escape unscathed. With a dull thud and the sound of bones shattering, his arm was torn off at the shoulder. Blood spurted out like a fountain, and the air quickly filled with a strong, bloody odor!

The severe pain distorted Bai Yu's face once again. He instantly let out a shrill scream, then turned his head abruptly, staring at the fused orc who had betrayed him with bloodshot eyes. His voice was completely hoarse and distorted due to the severe pain and rage: "You bunch of beasts, how dare you betray me!"

Human selfishness, desire, and greed are indeed rooted in our genes. As long as there is a trace of humanity in them, they will choose to betray us at the critical moment! Even if they become beasts, they are still a bunch of unreliable things!

The fused orcs didn't pause for a moment because of Bai Yu's rage. Instead, they seized this fleeting opportunity and pounced on him. Their red-eyed tentacles danced wildly in the air, and every one of them exuded a ruthless determination to strangle Bai Yu completely.

Xilos had already had the intention to kill, so how could he miss such a good opportunity? He immediately cooperated with those fused orcs who suddenly turned against him and rushed towards Bai Yu together.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Bai Yu was completely at a disadvantage. His movements became increasingly sluggish due to blood loss and severe pain, and he looked shaky. But just as everyone saw the opportunity to approach him again, a subtle but clear humming sound suddenly spread in the air, carrying a certain heart-pounding energy vibration.

The metal wall right behind Bai Yu seemed to be completely activated, and began to fold and peel inward layer by layer. In the blink of an eye, layer after layer was quickly peeled off like dominoes.

Almost at the same time as the wall unfolded, Bai Yu's body seemed to be suddenly pulled tight by countless taut silk threads, and in an instant he fell towards the bottomless darkness.

Before everyone could move forward to chase, they heard the sound of uniform footsteps coming from the darkness - countless figures emerged from the darkness one after another.

Bai Yu, having fallen to the depths, suddenly began to cough violently. The excruciating pain in his body couldn't suppress the rage surging in his eyes. These ungrateful beasts really thought they could kill him so easily! Originally, because the experiment wasn't completely completed, he wanted to let them live a little longer, but now they were determined to die, so he had no choice but to oblige them!

Bai Yu's heart was filled with murderous intent, and there was also Ye Ning! When he thought of her, his old, dark eyes were filled with unconcealable greed. If he could get her, the final hurdle of the experiment would be completely overcome, and his long-cherished wish would finally be fulfilled!

Without hesitation, he decisively pressed his severed arm against the wall. The stench in the air grew increasingly strong and pungent, nearly nauseating. The wall swung, and the final, heavily guarded metal door at the deepest point was completely opened.

When his eyes accidentally fell on the back of his hand, which was dry, loose and had bulging blue veins, a hint of extremely strong disgust flashed in Bai Yu's eyes.

He gasped, his gaze fixed on the blurry silhouette behind the gate, his voice hoarse: "Go, kill all those bastards!"

Long Qi had just arrived at Xilos's location when he spotted a figure trapped in the center by a group of orcs. Without hesitation, he decisively gave a signal, and the next second, a figure suddenly rushed towards him!

The rain was pouring down, and the water level on the streets rose a little more.

Ye Ning had already gotten into the car under the escort of soldiers.

Just after she and the chef ran out, they blew up the command room and then claimed that there was a rebellion inside, which immediately caused a huge riot.

Everyone inside was wearing protective gear, so they were fine. However, the explosion not only forced everyone to re-inspect the building, but also caused panic among the other people inside.

The Federation injected tranquilizers into everyone, even pure humans. Inside the building, the underground laboratory was lifeless.

Moreover, seeing that members of the presidium had accidents one after another, all the chairmen began to think about it.

Just now in the elevator, it was because of Ye Ning that the three of them escaped. The situation was unclear, and if anything else happened, having Ye Ning by their side would give them some extra protection. So after the conversation, everyone's thoughts turned to Ye Ning.

The chairmen sent their own confidants without any discussion. They were already suspicious of each other, and once someone made a move, the others would immediately follow suit.

So when Ye Ning came out, she found that the area where she was was surrounded by people.

Even though they were all wearing the same white uniforms, Ye Ning could still spot the subtle differences between them. Some had the same weapons, some had the same collar patterns, and some had the same smell.

Several groups of people were gathered at the stairwell. Coupled with the explosion inside the room, everyone was arguing fiercely for her safety, and it seemed as if a fight would break out at any second.

The situation was better than she expected.

Ye Ning was stuck there and couldn't get close to the researchers and pure humans. She simply didn't move and started to use her supernatural powers on the spot.

As soon as the supernatural power descended upon everyone, their desire for Ye Ning and their desire to compete for her instantly reached a fever pitch. The situation immediately got out of control, and those around them could no longer hold back, and even started fighting for her.

Ye Ning controlled her supernatural powers precisely to ensure that everyone, especially the medical staff sent from the hospital, could feel her presence.

All the medical staff in the room were stunned. They looked at each other, each sensing shock.

But then, a group of soldiers swarmed in. The leader said something unknown, and everyone received instructions through the headset. The originally chaotic scene was quickly calmed down.

The leader turned around and explained to Ye Ning that it was very dangerous here, and then quickly took her out.

In just two minutes, everything was done. When Ye Ning looked up, she met the chef's gaze. Their eyes met briefly in mid-air, and they both knew something serious had happened.

The moment Ye Ning's aura moved slightly, the people from the Xisha District hiding nearby understood what he meant and immediately followed him quietly.

After everyone sat down in the back seat, Ye Ning glanced at the people in the car.

The people in the car... are Lu Tai, and there are two or three others who should be high-ranking figures in the Federation.

Of all the people, Lu Tai was the only one who hadn't been poisoned by her mushroom spores. Firstly, because she wanted to create internal strife, she couldn't let everyone get hurt. If he, the lowest-ranking person, remained unharmed, he would be the most likely to draw suspicion. Secondly, because his health wasn't great.

At this moment, everyone was wearing masks and uniforms, and no identity information could be seen from their appearance.

But just as the car started, a man in front said in a cold voice: "Master Ye Ning, the situation is now completely out of control. Long Qi will definitely die this time."

Come and test her again.

Ye Ning looked up and said, "I've said it before, he's mine. If you insist on taking his life, don't blame me for turning against you."

Ye Ning spoke extremely seriously, with a rare serious attitude. The air seemed to freeze, and the tension spread completely at this moment.

The next second, Lu Tai took out a black bracelet from his pocket and handed it to Ye Ning, "Put this on."

Ye Ning didn't move. Lu Tai explained in a cold, mechanical voice, "This is a special protective device newly developed by the Directly Controlled Territory. It can ensure your safety at critical moments."

But Ye Ning keenly noticed that the moment Lu Tai handed the bracelet to her, the breathing of the people around them seemed to become a little heavier.

Ye Ning did not wear the bracelet on her hand, but tossed it rhythmically in her palm.

The next second, she heard another person say solemnly in a mechanical voice, "Master Ye Ning, it was you who caused the poisoning of the plants of the chairmen."

"The host was destroyed, and it was your people who did it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ning looked directly at the other person, "Why, since you can't find the real culprit, you plan to use me as a scapegoat?"

The man suddenly raised his voice, his tone unyielding and forceful, "Don't bother to argue. The evidence is right before our eyes, irrefutable! This isn't the first time you've done something like this!"

"Once the chairmen find out that you were the one who poisoned them, do you think they will still be as polite as they are now?!"

"You are so reckless, you really think they dare not touch you!"

His tone became sharper and sharper, and the threat and intimidation in his words became stronger and stronger.

The chef immediately stood in front of Ye Ning and shouted angrily, "You guys took advantage of the chaos to fight among yourselves, causing chaos in the direct-controlled area, and now you are actually trying to put the blame on Master Ye Ning?!"

Ye Ning didn't say anything, because when the other party mentioned that it was not the first time, it reminded her of another thing.

She had always been puzzled as to how Hu Ding could use so many plants to bribe the federal and district leaders. At that time, everyone speculated that this matter was related to the federal leaders.

But after she entered the underground research institute and saw with her own eyes hundreds of pure humans who "died early", she had a definite answer in her heart.

Ye Ning leaned lazily in her chair. "I've always wondered where the rebels got the plants and resources. Although the underground research institute can cultivate plants, they are precious and there's no way they'll fall into the hands of the rebels so easily."

“No matter which faction the federal leadership belongs to, it is impossible for them to do this alone.”

"So behind the rebels is the entire federation."

Only the Federation has so many plants and resources to supply to the rebels, and can help them stabilize so many fused orcs who are on the brink of riot.

This was indeed not the first time she had used plants to poison someone. The first time was when she was kidnapped by Bai Qing and his men.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, only Lu Tai looked up slightly.

The chef found it unbelievable when he first heard it, but after everyone's silence and a little thought, he realized that Ye Ning was right!

If the Federation is behind the rebels—

I had thought the Federation's monopoly of global resources and concealment of advanced technology was an unforgivable betrayal of its people, but who could have imagined that this was just the tip of the iceberg of its crimes? How could the Federation treat them so cruelly?

The chef looked at the group of people with rage and demanded fiercely, "Why are you doing this?! Do you think other people's lives are so worthless that you can trample on them?!"

Ye Ning held the chef's fingers soothingly, looked at Lu Tai calmly, and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, on the one hand, it's to divert internal conflicts. A powerful external enemy can divert people's attention away from internal conflicts."

The rebels are an external threat, as are the pollutants. But the most effective one is the pollutants.

In recent years, pollution surges have become increasingly severe across the country, and as these surges become more severe, the federal government has intensified its exploitation of the people. The Xisha region has repeatedly been on the verge of being breached by pollution surges, forcing it to sign an even more extreme resource exchange agreement with the federal government.

Because of the rampant spread of pollutants, people are more eager to research and develop technology, and are naturally more willing to sacrifice themselves to supply the federation.

Long Qi had previously mentioned that he had discovered the body of the Emperor Dragon in the restricted area. They had also discovered numerous sites on the seabed and in various areas where pollutants were being stored. At the time, she had been puzzled as to why the rebels would resort to such diabolical methods to "store" pollutants. Now, it seemed that many of these events had been foreshadowed. Furthermore, there was likely a lot of personal vendetta involved.

"On the other hand, it's to completely control the opposition forces."

"The opposition is a ticking time bomb for the Federation. Sooner or later, if it develops, it will threaten the Federation's rule. Rather than allowing them to develop in secret and escape control, it is better to proactively create a controllable opposition force. This way, we can not only completely control it, but also pave the way for the successor chairman."

The Federation anticipated that their perverse and reckless actions, which disregarded the lives of the people, would sooner or later spark strong public discontent, so they took preventative measures. The results proved highly effective.

On closer inspection, the Federation truly let the rebels do all the dirty work. Of the many orcs and pure humans used for underground experiments, many were likely sent in through rebel channels, and the rebels themselves are grateful to them. The Federation, using the opportunity to eliminate the rebels, not only allows the new president to gain public support and consolidate his rule, but also allows the public to vent their long-suppressed negative emotions.

Every previous president must have known about the underground research institute and its dormant state beforehand and was carefully selected. It's no wonder the current president is so keen on preparing achievements for the next president in advance to stabilize his rule.

"Lord Ye Ning, you are truly exceptionally intelligent." Lu Tai removed his filtering helmet, his gaze unconcealed. His voice lost its usual composure, taking on a rare solemnity. "Everything that's happening right now is due to Chairman Bai Yu. His methods are far more ruthless than we imagined."

There was a hint of coldness in his tone. "We've received reliable information. Chairman Bai Yu has activated the third Galaxy mainframe, still in the development phase, and has dispatched a group of mechanical orcs, still in experimental stages, to hunt down the members of the presidium and the opposition. The performance and computing power of the third Galaxy mainframe are unprecedentedly powerful, so the mechanical orcs are extremely powerful. Chairman Bai Yu, with his founder authority, has complete control of the mainframe. Other chairmen can no longer intervene. However, everyone's intelligence is controlled by the Galaxy system. Once controlled by the third mainframe, everyone's life and death depends on his whim."

Another person immediately added, "Indeed, Chairman Bai Yu has always advocated for completely abandoning the human body and existing in the form of a mechanical orc. However, experiments with mechanical orcs are still in the research stage. Besides the unstable energy supply, the consciousness transplantation also has technical flaws and ethical drawbacks."

Ye Ning asked in surprise, "What are mechanical orcs? Aren't you researching fusion orcs?"

Someone next to Ye Ning shook his head and began to explain seriously.

"A hundred years ago, Chairman Bai Yu and a group of professors proposed two development directions. First, mobilize the world to find a new planet to migrate to. Second, combine humans and machines to create a new type of immortal human—the mechanical orc—that can survive in any extreme environment with minimal energy consumption."

On the one hand, Bai Yu believed that the potential of the human body and brain was extremely limited, and that there were natural constraints on the development of mental strength and intelligence. However, mechanical orcs could use technology to break these constraints and achieve a leap forward in human capabilities. On the other hand, Bai Yu pessimistically believed that the extremely harsh living environment and limited resources of the Dust Planet meant that it could not sustain such a large biological population for long. With the planet's ecology on the verge of collapse, abandoning the biological body was the most beneficial way to preserve human civilization and survival.

These two plans, though different in approach, both require highly advanced technology to achieve. While their technology has advanced tremendously over the past century, the plan to create mechanical orcs has remained stagnant since its inception. Beyond the technical challenges, there lies another thorny issue: how can they effectively determine whether the mechanical orcs, supposedly possessing all their memories and consciousness, are their original consciousnesses or just robots with different personalities learned through galactic simulations?

"The creation of the Fusion Orcs was an accidental experiment. Initially, everyone was just trying to find a way to strengthen the Orcs' mental strength. After creating the Fusion Orcs, their mental strength was indeed successfully enhanced, and they even helped those on the verge of death to prolong their lives. However, pollutants bring greater uncontrollability. Furthermore, the Fusion Orcs are ultimately just a deformed product forcibly combined with pollutants. How could such a filthy and disgusting thing be accepted by the public?"

Ye Ning listened quietly, and when she heard the adjectives "dirty, disgusting", her eyebrows moved slightly.

I originally thought that the underground research institute raised so many fusion beastmen and truly treated them as their own companions. Now it seems that although both sides can work and live together, they still despise and cannot accept fusion beastmen from the bottom of their hearts.

While Ye Ning was thinking, the man continued to tell the history in a low voice.

Despite the fact that fused orcs displayed mental and physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary orcs, this evolutionary direction was never universally recognized. In fact, the presidium members never considered fused orcs as a future development direction, but rather viewed them as a useful weapon against pollutants and other unknown threats.

So, the experiment continued, with more and more orcs being sent to the lab before dying, and one fused orc after another being created. A turning point came with the first dying Emperor Dragon sent to the lab.

The Emperor Dragon Clan was already formidable, and their awakened spiritual power was even more profound. This perfect test specimen allowed them to develop a genetically stable fusion orc for the first time, and also to obtain the energy core that could maintain consciousness for extended periods of time—the highly concentrated spiritual power generated by an awakened being.

The dying Emperor Dragon willingly cooperated with all their research in the last moments of his life.

The professor thought of the Emperor Dragon, and a hint of melancholy flashed across his eyes.

Once upon a time, these people truly embraced a sincere heart, willingly dedicating everything to the Federation. Each of them devoted themselves unreservedly to scientific research, simply hoping to find a glimmer of hope for the people of Sea Dust Star.

He had been dormant for a long time due to an unsolvable problem. When he woke up, the once respected and admired Emperor Dragon Clan had become a loathing existence. Ten years later, the Emperor Dragon Clan had dwindled to only Long Qi.

It seemed as if everything had changed at some point. Everyone was saying "for the Federation," but each began harboring their own selfish desires. Crucial technologies and resources became highly coveted, and factions within the Federation's leadership were engaged in open and covert struggles for control of various technologies.

Previously, thanks to the rotating awakening of the presidium members, the Federation had experienced undercurrents but never experienced a major outbreak. Now, thanks to Master Ye Ning, all members had awakened simultaneously, at a critical juncture when they had barely acclimated to their new surroundings and were at their weakest. This had not only completely shattered the already fragile balance, but had also sent everyone madly attacking each other.

Everything was caught off guard, and all these drastic changes were caused by the very young, powerless, pure human girl in front of him.

If Bai Yu succeeded, and the members of the presidium were truly wiped out en masse, the Federation would undoubtedly be completely reshuffled. What would become of Haichen Star then? Thinking of this, the professor felt a surge of anxiety.

But when his eyes fell on Ye Ning and he saw that Ye Ning was still looking at him calmly, the professor's heart inexplicably calmed down again.

He pulled himself back to his thoughts and continued, "You said before that the side effects of fusing orcs are still unknown. In fact, to this day, the lifespan of all fused orcs does not exceed five years. Within five years, various complications will inevitably arise, and they may even become completely polluted. It was only after you appeared that they were able to eat plants, and the onset of the disease was delayed."

"And the reason Bai Yu vigorously promoted the fusion of orcs was to use the various shortcomings of fusion orcs to prove to everyone that mechanical orcs are the most powerful and viable existence."

Before the man finished speaking, the fleet of cars, originally suspended in mid-air in a neat and orderly formation, suddenly swerved. A dozen hovercars, scattered like a flock of startled birds in the torrential rain, were instantly scattered. The car Ye Ning was riding in even more drastically dove downward to avoid the attack. Although Ye Ning's seat held her body securely in place, the chef beside her was quick-witted and swift-handed, securing her in his arms almost the instant the car's wheels shifted. For a moment, Ye Ning's ears were filled with the sharp hum of the engines, like metal being shredded, numbing her eardrums.

At the moment the car drifted and dived, Ye Ning vaguely saw through the car window and the heavy rain several figures in the distance, rushing towards them at lightning speed.

Each of them possessed a towering, immaculate figure, their appearance far surpassing that of an average human. Though clad in the same white uniforms as those of the Federal Territory, their muscular structure was perfectly proportioned. From afar, they exuded an aura of unparalleled handsomeness and dominance, a chilling, oppressive presence. Even more bizarre, despite possessing no support, they effortlessly soared through the air at high speeds.

Not only were they moving at an extremely fast speed, but they also coordinated perfectly. Countless blue lasers rained down on them like a dense barrage of raindrops, yet they didn't even try to dodge. The occasional laser that hit them would instantly disappear from their bodies.

The next second, Ye Ning saw one of the mechanical orcs raise his arm, and the black muzzle of the gun was instantly aimed at his side.

Their vision was fleeting, and the moment the weapons were fired, the vehicle they were driving disappeared around the corner in the chaos. But the roar and thick smoke had already revealed what was happening there.

"They're here so fast!" the driver cursed, then reported, "Chairman, the Federal Building is completely under their control."

Who would have thought that Bai Yu, who seemed to have been dormant for a long time, had secretly built such a large-scale mechanical orc army without telling anyone, and now he is making a desperate move and releasing all the mechanical orcs in one go!

They didn't have enough people, so after receiving the news, they immediately brought Ye Ning out first. They had no time to take care of the other researchers and pure humans inside. In order to prevent chaos, the other chairmen only received the news when they were about to take Ye Ning away.

Although those mechanical orcs are still semi-finished products, if they are regarded as weapons, they are definitely not something they can easily resist!

Lu Tai turned around and said quickly to Ye Ning, "Bai Yu has already realized that Long Qi and His Majesty Xiluos's awakening is related to you, so he has also issued a hunt for you to all mechanical orcs and soldiers in the direct jurisdiction."

"The outer laser matrix defense system has completely stopped. The district heads will soon lead their men in."

"The situation is critical! If you want to save Long Qi and the others, you must fully cooperate with our actions. Otherwise, if the situation gets out of control, Long Qi and the others will surely lose their lives!"

Five minutes ago, those on the periphery were racking their brains trying to break through the impenetrable laser matrix. Light blue beams, like impenetrable walls several meters thick, shot up into the sky, sealing off the entire municipality.

But something strange happened. Those blue beams that had been soaring high into the sky suddenly disappeared without any warning! The surroundings suddenly fell into an eerie darkness.

"What happened? Why did the laser matrix suddenly disappear?!"

"Was it District Chief Tsuruhashi's doing, or is there some new development in the direct jurisdiction?! District Chief Hou, can you contact them?"

"Could this be a trap? Perhaps the people from the Federal Territory want to lure us in and catch us all in one fell swoop?!"

While everyone was discussing, all the district heads received a message from the chairman's exclusive channel from the mainland and Taiwan at the same time.

Everyone looked at it several times in succession, and after confirming that the other person was really Lu Tai, their expressions gradually became serious.

Lu Tai actually said that Bai Yu had completely betrayed the Federation and was ordering the mechanical orcs to hunt down government officials and hunt down Ye Ning, asking them to immediately lead their troops into the direct-controlled area to protect Ye Ning!

Lu Tai's words at this moment were full of strangeness. The urgency between the lines seemed like a carefully laid bait for them.

But there is lemon leaf in the bait.

Hou Yue didn't hesitate for too long. It involved Ye Ning and he couldn't contact the others. Even if there was only a 1% chance that it was true, he had to lead his men in immediately!

While everyone was still discussing, the communicator suddenly vibrated again - it was a message from Hou Lin.

The situation on Hou Lin's side was not very good either. They were still transporting people who had woken up from underground. Although those people were arguing, they never stopped working. The only thing they were arguing about was the order of priority.

The incident happened in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, without warning, several men in white uniforms descended from the sky. Their figures were slender and perfectly formed, and both men and women were extremely handsome. The high-ranking badges on their shoulders gleamed brightly in the sunlight.

The leading officer had barely taken a step, the question still lingering in his throat when a laser beam pierced the air, accurately piercing the head of a man who had just been brought ashore. Blood splattered as the purple-haired, white-skinned orc landed gracefully on the ground.

He casually straightened the corpse's head with the tip of his boot, then fixed his eyes on the man's face, recording the other person's horrific death.

The man's incredibly handsome face was expressionless, as if he had simply taken a casual photo of some scenery. The clicking sound was particularly harsh in the dead silence, like a silent mockery of the crowd.

The next second, the sound of gunfire echoed in the air one after another. The smell of burning mixed with the smell of blood suddenly exploded in the air, madly irritating the nasal cavity of the people around.

The leading officer was shaking with anger. He pointed at those people, his voice becoming sharp and incoherent due to anger and fear. "Who are you! Stop it! If you dare to touch us, Chairman Lion will never let you go!"

Could they be people sent by other chairmen?! No, they're clearly shooting indiscriminately, and people from all factions are suffering!

But the enemy ignored their words, as if they hadn't heard them. Seeing this, the soldiers of the direct-controlled area could no longer hold back and collectively took up their weapons and launched a counterattack.

However, their weapons disappeared when they landed on the other side, leaving not even a trace! The other attacks with thermal weapons were directly dodged by the other side in an instant.

After realizing that they were completely unable to resist each other, panic instantly spread among the crowd.

The enemy continued to kill, not even bothering to spare them a second glance, simply carrying out their task indifferently. The purple-haired man's gaze slid across the screen, revealing a list of names and appearances. The next one—

He looked down at the crowd and fired another well-aimed shot.

These prominent figures, freshly awakened from their underground hibernation pods, had never experienced such a shock. Their dignity was completely lost, and they scattered in all directions. Those who had only moments before been arguing with each other were now in a state of chaos. Some screamed and fled, others, their muscles twitching with fear, could only crawl on their hands and knees. Still others transformed into beasts in an attempt to escape, only to become the first targets. The surrounding soldiers continued to fight back with their weapons, but found that even after firing their weapons, they could not even block the enemy's path.

The enemy maintained a firing rate of one shot every half a second, and the dense gunfire echoed in the air. Every gunshot frightened the fleeing people and made their legs weak.

This is simply a one-sided massacre!

Hou Lin and the others were stunned by the sudden scene. But Hou Lin reacted with remarkable speed. Adhering to the principle of preserving his own life, he decisively ordered the Xisha area to evacuate immediately after the frenzied firing began. Long-term team training had honed everyone's understanding, and they followed suit, their movements quick and efficient. The entire evacuation was astonishingly swift.

By the time the river of blood appeared over there and everyone reacted and started fleeing, they had already safely left the center area.

But the most fortunate thing is that the other party does not seem to regard them as targets.

"Just now, when the weapons attacked them, I heard the sound of metal. Could they be wearing some new type of mecha?"

"I've only seen people killing pollutants, but never normal people like this. They must have been fighting among themselves, so they suddenly started killing each other."

It's a good thing to have internal strife, but I don't know what the situation is like on Lord Ye Ning's side.

But it was not until they retreated a long distance that they finally resumed normal communication with others.

After reading Gu Yu's message, Hou Lin's expression changed. He immediately said, "Someone in the direct jurisdiction took Ye Ning away. The newly emerged orcs are chasing Ye Ning. We should go and join them immediately!"

Hou Yue received Hou Lin's message, and the last few words made his temples throb.

"Everyone, pay attention!" Hou Yue's voice, filled with anxiety and an unquestionable majesty, resounded among the crowd. "The laser matrix has failed. Target the Emperor Dragon's territory. Advance in three directions!"

He raised his hand and quickly slashed through the air. Three red arrows immediately appeared on the screens in front of the corresponding team members: "Team one, enter from the left, team two, surround from the right, team three, follow me and advance at full speed. Everyone must reach the marked point at the fastest speed and at the same time!"

"Everyone, Lady Ye Ning is in danger. If anything happens to her, the future of Sea Dust Star will be destroyed. Her safety is in your hands and mine!"

The surrounding soldiers sprang into action almost the instant the order was given. The clatter of various new-style armed aircraft and armored vehicles starting up resounded, the roar even causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Let's go!" With the order, the three teams of people rushed towards the marked direction like arrows.

*

Niu Ling, who had rushed over with He Yang and the others, initially thought he was dazzled, which was why he had such hallucinations on a rainstorm night. They were so far away that they were stopped by people from the outer direct jurisdiction as soon as they arrived.

But no matter how the two watched it frame by frame, the person who confronted Long Qi in the rainy night was undoubtedly Long Yu!

Niu Ling was so certain because the Emperor Dragon Clan was all pure black, but Long Yu was different. Her wings were interspersed with a streak of pure white. He had only seen such unique wings on Long Yu before, and her face was surprisingly the same as before!

The two men fought extremely quickly, and after a brief pause, only afterimages remained in the air.

Not only Niu Ling, He Yang also took in the scene before him.

She was more familiar with Long Yu than Niu Ling. It could be said that she recognized him just by looking at his back.

At this moment, He Yang felt his heart beating wildly in his chest. Could it be that Long Yu was not dead after all?!

But if Long Yu wasn't dead, how could she attack Long Qi so mercilessly? !

He Yang immediately asked, "District Chief Niu Ling, hasn't the Federation already executed Long Yu?"

"Long Yu committed suicide—" Niu Ling subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but before he finished speaking, he discovered his own problem.

The Federation has always claimed that Long Yu committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but now, Long Yu has appeared in front of everyone in good health, and judging from the situation, his strength is even better than that of Long Qi after he awakened!

Could it be that Long Yu didn't die, but stayed underground? !

The commander and others who had just chased Long Qi were still there. When the people from the direct-controlled area saw Niu Ling, they seemed to have found their backbone and immediately stepped forward to explain the current situation to him.

It turned out that they had just been chasing Long Qi when a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the two started fighting.

The fusion orcs that appeared earlier were already shocking enough to them, and now another group has appeared.

These individuals appeared ordinary, but as soon as their front paws swung out a giant bionic metal crocodile tail, their hind legs extended a pair of razor-sharp silver tiger claws. Their blades gleamed with a cold gleam, slicing through the torrential rain wherever they passed. Furthermore, their movements were fluid, their transformations into various animal forms occurring with surprisingly little lag. Even the laser beams that struck them only left a fleeting white flash, as if any weapon was merely a tickle to them, unable to inflict any substantial damage.

Although the naked eye saw only metal bodies, everyone could sense an extremely powerful mental pressure from them. Just watching them from afar, their heartbeats began to accelerate uncontrollably. The orcs' innate sense of crisis constantly reminded them of how dangerous those people truly were!

The commander of the direct-controlled area said in a panic: "Deputy District Chief, we can't get out now."

They hadn't noticed anything unusual when they approached, but when they came to their senses, they realized they were trapped in an invisible area. Signals were completely cut off, and an impenetrable laser array was deployed all around. Mechanical orcs were guarding the outermost area, making it impossible to escape.

All signals were cut off. On Long Qi's side, Long Yu didn't know what was going on, but he was already evenly matched with him. There were also orcs around him that looked strange and were looking down at them.

He Yang quickly reviewed the situation in her mind and quickly concluded that the situation was not good. She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, turned around and asked Niu Ling, who was also confused, with suppressed anger: "What exactly do the Federation and the Federal Territory want to do?!"

Seeing that quite a few people had gathered below and the crowd began to make a noise, a mechanical orc landed lightly in front of everyone.

"Everyone, please be patient. Chairman Bai Yu is not someone who would kill innocent people. He will definitely not make things difficult for you. Once everyone is here, you will understand the chairman's intentions."

Chairman Bai Yu? This name caused many of the already confused people present to frown. They subconsciously exchanged glances, confusion in their eyes, and whispers gradually spread among the crowd.

In mid-air, Long Qi raised his hand and gently wiped the blood off his face.

Compared to others, Long Qi's inner shock was undoubtedly more intense.

He couldn't remember how many times he had seen Long Yu in his dreams, but he never expected that he would be able to see this face again with his own eyes one day.

Even though his mind was telling him over and over again that the person in front of him was just a mechanical orc made by Bai Yu, the other person's facial features were exactly the same as Long Yu's, and were exactly the same as the appearance of Long Yu in his memory, so much so that he lost consciousness uncontrollably when looking directly at the other person.

Ten minutes ago, as soon as he stepped into this area, he was immediately besieged by this group of mechanical orcs.

He and Siros's spirits quickly connected and quickly sorted out the current situation.

Bai Yu had completely sealed off the area, cutting off all signals and preventing even spirits from entering or leaving freely. While Siros was physically present, his spirit had already followed Bai Yu underground to conduct the search. However, the underground was secretive, with numerous checkpoints, and there was no sign of any continuous power inflow.

After Long Qi joined, he did not immediately use his full strength. He just moved his body slightly, quickly avoiding the fierce attacks of these mechanical orcs while constantly testing the opponent's strengths.

After a few rounds, Long Qi already had a general understanding of the strength and reaction speed of these mechanical orcs in front of him.

The opponent is indeed very powerful. Even his physical hardness far exceeds the standards of any interstellar weapon. It is almost impossible to find his weakness and destroy him in a short period of time.

Three minutes later, Silos raised his hand and the mechanical orcs besieging him stopped at once.

"As you can see, these mechanical orcs are incredibly powerful. Even if we join forces now, we're no match for them." Siros looked at the mechanical orcs with a passionate, even slightly obsessed, gaze. "Their current near-perfect state is surprisingly just a flawed one. If they can be thoroughly improved, not only will we have near-perfect bodies, but we'll also be able to escape the natural cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, becoming truly immortal!"

Before the last word fell, Xilos looked at Long Qi with shining eyes, and the instigation in his eyes was self-evident.

"Do you want to support Bai Yu?" Long Qi's voice was flat, but anyone could hear that his voice had become several degrees colder.

Siros looked back at him and said, "If we can't win, we should know the situation. Chairman Bai Yu is very powerful. Cooperating with him is our best option."

Xilos was anxious in his heart, but he looked relaxed and nonchalant, as if the siege on him and Long Qi was just a harmless game.

The incident was sudden, and Bai Yu's strength far exceeded their expectations, forcing all previous plans to be put on hold. Fortunately, Bai Yu remained irrational. After unleashing his mechanical orc army and gaining the upper hand, he not only refrained from retaliating, but instead offered him an olive branch of peace and promised him numerous benefits. His ability to restrain his surging desire to kill even when he had the upper hand was truly admirable.

Bai Yu, who was underground, watched the scene unfold without the slightest bit of surprise. He even looked at Xilos with undisguised contempt.

Such is human nature: fragile and greedy. Even those who appear to be high and mighty are, at heart, no different from ants, fawning over the powerful. Throw in enough bait, and they'll pounce without hesitation.

"Xiao Qi, you have made progress."

The familiar name came out of the other party's mouth, but it was wrapped in a suffocating mental force, sweeping over like a surging wave, instantly engulfing everyone around.

Everyone immediately felt an invisible pressure like a mountain pressing down on them, which was difficult to bear.

Niu Ling, already somewhat frail, lost all color and trembled uncontrollably. Those with weaker mental strength even knelt on one knee, unable to withstand the pressure, their groans of pain rising and falling.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the sky, and they saw Long Yu rushing towards Long Qi again in mid-air.

At the same time, on the side of the presidium members, while the mechanical orcs were conducting a carpet search, the remaining surviving chairmen, under the remote guidance of Lu Tai, gathered together in a hurry under the cover of various secret passages.

After all, the number of mechanical orcs is limited. Apart from those who were already in the intensive care unit and were very easy to attack, a small number of the presidium members survived with Lu Tai's help.

This was thanks to Lu Tai's quick response. After discovering that Bai Yu had dispatched the mechanical orc army, he not only immediately notified all of them, but also quickly removed the laser matrix near the direct-controlled area, allowing everyone on the periphery to directly surround it.

Moreover, after experiencing the initial chaos, everyone quickly figured out the clues. Although Bai Yu was killing people ruthlessly, his target was very clear. He only hunted down the members of the presidium and their cronies, and did not attack ordinary people and soldiers.

Once they understood this, everyone instantly hated Bai Yu to the core.

Bai Yu was clearly taking this opportunity to eliminate all dissidents! The poisoning and the Galaxy host malfunction were probably all his doing. He couldn't wait to get rid of them!

Once they died, not only would he be able to take over power without any hindrance, he could also throw all the dirty water on them. He could even claim that it was their own internal strife that led to their mutual slaughter!

By then, he'd be the only one left on the presidium, holding control of the Galaxy mainframe and access to key technologies. As long as he offered the districts some insignificant benefits, no one would touch him! By then, he'd not only be able to completely clear his name, but also stand before the public as a savior!

After much deliberation, everyone agreed that the only way to survive was to expose the matter to the public. If the situation became public, Bai Yu would be too cautious to recklessly slaughter the other presidium members. Consequently, they unanimously decided to have the district heads move directly to the directly administered districts.

Although this tactic has many disadvantages, it can temporarily save your life. Weighing the pros and cons is all empty talk at the moment. The most important thing is to survive.

As everyone reached a consensus, the troops from various districts guarding the periphery quickly poured in. Twenty minutes later, the situation changed drastically. The originally loose cordon was suddenly tightened, and the land, sea and air near the Emperor Dragon's territory were directly covered, leaving only an open space in the center of the circle.

Down below, the cold blue light of the treatment cabin reflected on Bai Yu's pale face. He was completely immersed in a scarlet solution, his body filled with transparent catheters. The red solution reflected an eerie and terrifying luster under the light.

His empty broken arm had now been replaced by a mechanical prosthesis. His skin, which had been old and dry like dead tree bark, seemed to be infused with vitality and began to stretch out little by little. Even his drooping muscles regained their tight contours.

"Chairman, they are all here." A clear mechanical voice sounded in Bai Yu's ears.

Bai Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the screen next to him. The numerical progress on it had reached 59%. His eyelashes trembled and he closed his eyes gently again.

"yes."

The surveillance camera in the corner flickered imperceptibly for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.

There had been heavy rain in the Federal Territory all night, and it was finally showing signs of stopping.

The raindrops gradually became sparse, and by the time everyone had gathered near Long Qi and Xilos, the heavy rain had completely stopped.

At this time in the Emperor Dragon Territory, in addition to the marine orcs and soldiers from various districts, there were also soldiers from the rebel district, fusion orcs, and federal officials who came because of Bai Yu's orders. Almost all the important figures gathered here.

The weapons were in place, and with the sounds of metal friction, the muzzles of all weapons were aimed at the target.

"His Majesty!"

The air was filled with moisture, which could block signals but hide odors. The marine orcs' sense of smell became even sharper in the humid environment, allowing them to easily locate Siros's location.

Seeing that Xilos was standing there unharmed, with no sign of fading in his long purple hair, the imperial ministers finally felt relieved. Several elderly ministers even leaned against the people next to them in exhaustion.

But just as they were about to move forward, a pale blue light pattern suddenly spread from the ground. In the blink of an eye, a circular laser matrix appeared with Xilos and Long Qi at its center. The blue beams flashed with purple electricity, identical to the outer laser matrix. In an instant, no one dared to move forward.

It was Silos who raised his hand to calm them down.

On the other side, the district heads were also searching anxiously among the crowd. They quickly locked onto He Yang's figure and immediately surrounded him with their men.

"Chief Tsuruo! What the hell is going on?!"

"Yes, where is Lady Ye Ning? Have you found her? And who are those people floating in the air?"

Amidst the chaotic inquiries, there was a "bang" in the sky. The center of the venue, which was originally shrouded in shadows, was suddenly pierced through the water vapor by a beam of strong light. Immediately afterwards, countless holographic projections, more than ten meters in size, appeared in the air, with rain and mist still lingering around the edges.

The next second, a scene that looked very historical was played directly in the air.

The surrounding noise quickly quieted down as the large screen played a video. Everyone's attention was riveted to the history of the underground research institute.

From Bai Yu personally establishing the underground research institute, to determining the initial direction of the project, to the rigorous screening of participants for the dormant project, that initial sense of tragedy and determination quickly deteriorated with the successive chairmen, ultimately vanishing. The plan was distorted beyond recognition through layer upon layer of tampering, with "genetic optimization" becoming "genetic elimination." In the institute's laboratories, the test subjects that once met the standards were gradually replaced with normal orcs of various ages, dismembered, pieced together, and injected with viruses to forcibly distort them.

Most disgustingly, even the Emperor Dragon Clan, who had initially dedicated everything to the future of Sea Dust Star, were now the target of slander, all because of the chairman's casual claim of "experimental needs." Hunting and killing followed, and their former contributors were ultimately turned into nutrients and fed to the pollutants of the restricted area!

The root of all this is nothing but the selfish desires of those chairmen sitting in high positions, simply because they do not need so many "inferior genes" to take away resources!

Deathly silence filled the air. A young soldier trembled and said, "So those pollutants, those huge waves of pollutants, were deliberately created by the Federation?"

"Ugh—" Someone couldn't hold it in first, and the sound of violent retching erupted in the crowd. Some people's eyes were red, their fists were clenched, veins bulged, and their entire bodies were shaking with extreme anger.

"Beasts! They're nothing but beasts!" someone wailed in grief. "My brother died in the restricted area. Pollutants devoured him until nothing remained!"

"I am the only one left in our family. Why should we die?"

…

Those who had lost their comrades and relatives in the restricted area, those who had struggled to survive under resource shortages and various oppressions, those who had witnessed the tragic scenes of their companions being devoured alive by pollutants on the battlefield, when these scenes were intertwined with the cruel and horrific scenes on the holographic projection, every flashback was like a blunt knife repeatedly cutting everyone's nerves.

The rain had stopped, but on everyone's faces, a trace of moisture, whether lingering moisture or shed tears, slid into their mouths, bitter and astringent. Anger and grief grew wildly among the crowd like weeds after rain. The images replayed repeatedly on the holographic screens fully reflected the hatred in everyone's eyes. It turned out that the Federation they swore to protect was the most vicious executioner hidden behind the scenes!

Especially when the mention of the Federation's support for the rebels was brought up, the crowd erupted in outcry. Shock, anger, disdain, and disbelief cascaded forth. Hu Ding and other rebels, hiding their identities within the crowd, were struck by lightning! Their years of hard work, their belief that they were fighting the Federation, had been nothing but a joke!

Hu Ding's mind frantically flashed back to the past few years: the escape routes that always "happened" to appear when they were in dire straits, the easily accessible plants and military supplies, what they considered to be their core internal plan, the orcs they constantly supplied to the Federation, and the much-touted fusion orcs...

All their proud achievements, those "victories" and "achievements" paid for with countless rebel lives, were nothing more than a drama staged and staged by the Federation! They were not heroes against the Federation! They were merely lackeys employed by the Federation, tools used by the Federation to divert public attention and dissipate resentment!

For a moment, all the rebels felt a sense of absurdity and humiliation that penetrated deep into their bones!

Unlike the excited crowd above, the enclosed space underground was as dull as lead, so depressing that it made people breathless.

The surviving members of the presidium all stood around the holographic map in extremely poor condition, watching what was happening above with their own eyes.

Considering that the most dangerous place is the safest place, the members of the presidium were temporarily safe under the cover of various districts.

But everyone was in a very miserable state now. They had not recovered from the poison yet, and their originally clean white uniforms were now covered with torn holes and dark red bloodstains. Fear still lingered in the eyes of several of them, and it was obvious that they had just escaped from a fierce battle.

However, at this moment, the holographic screen above the Emperor Dragon Domain was looping past scenes. The screen magnified their faces countless times, and every word they had ever spoken, every expression they had ever revealed, was nakedly exposed to everyone under the gaze of countless eyes!

"Is this old man Bai Yu crazy? Where did these weird things come from?!"

"Hmph, do you really believe that the Galaxy is controlled by all of us?! He's the chief designer and has been given core authority for a long time. These images must have been transferred from the underground research institute!"

Some of the images in it were even those they had left behind! The handles that had originally been used to hinder each other and as bargaining chips to save their lives were actually being used by Bai Yu as a tool to tie them together at this moment, becoming ironclad evidence that they were birds of a feather!

This was also the most vicious part of this exposure! Bai Yu wasn't exposing anyone's guilt at all. To the outside world, every face in these images, except for Bai Yu, was an accomplice, an executioner with their hands stained with the blood of orcs!

"This old bastard must have planned this all along. He's throwing it all out now, hoping to make people outside think we're in the same group so he can get away with it!" Someone gritted their teeth, "They're definitely going to blame us for this!"

Naturally, they also had some leverage over Bai Yu, but Bai Yu caught them off guard, and now they have no chance to produce evidence as generously as Bai Yu!

Moreover, Bai Yu's comprehensive presentation of evidence has already predisposed the public to his claims. Even if they were to produce further evidence, it would be difficult to reverse the already formed public opinion.

"We should first find a way to kill Bai Yu, or quickly find a way to shut down the third Galaxy host!" One person turned around suddenly, his tone filled with a desperate determination.

"Nonsense!" another man growled hoarsely, his voice filled with barely concealed fatigue and anxiety. "Bai Yu is currently deep within the underground research institute. That place is incredibly complex and difficult to find. He's surrounded by a large number of mechanical orc guards and Xinghe himself. If we go in with so few men, we'll be courting death!"

"Is there really nothing we can do?!" someone asked in despair, and the enclosed space was filled with his trembling voice as if he was almost collapsing.

Just as everyone was despairing, Lu Tai glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "I personally oversaw the reconstruction of this place three years ago. To deal with emergencies, I deliberately left a secret underground elevator that could directly raise the designated laboratory to the surface."

"But we only have one chance. We must accurately locate Bai Yu's location, otherwise we will alert him and completely enrage him."

Lu Tai said, then turned to look at Ye Ning, "Lord Ye Ning, the demise of the Emperor Dragon Clan was instigated by Bai Yu."

Everyone followed his gaze and suddenly remembered that Ye Ning was still here.

Thinking of Ye Ning's fondness for Long Qi, everyone seemed to have suddenly grasped a lifeline, and immediately echoed indignantly, "That's right, Master Ye Ning, that old fellow Bai Yu is the ultimate hypocrite! He instructed us to do most of this, especially everything related to the Emperor Dragon Clan. He's inextricably linked to it! He's the one who needed the Emperor Dragon's genes and bodies for research, and he's the one who used the Federation as a cover to force us to hunt down the Emperor Dragon Clan!"

"It's not just the Emperor Dragon Clan. Bai Yu has captured countless nobles of the Empire for research because of their powerful mental strength. His Majesty Xilos was attacked repeatedly recently, and you were abducted by the rebels multiple times. It was all him behind the scenes! He's been wanting to capture you to assist in research for a long time!"

They argued back and forth, as if Ye Ning could exonerate herself completely if she accepted their excuse. The holographic screen outside was still showing footage of how the Emperor Dragon Clan had been openly captured and used for live experiments, yet these people were able to shift all the blame onto Bai Yu without batting an eyelid.

It is probably because of the poisoning and the failure of the intelligent brain, and being forced into a desperate situation. These people are probably really crazy.

Ye Ning sat quietly on the only soft chair, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the shell spirit on her wrist.

The shell spirit eagerly touched her fingertips, and Ye Ning gently tapped its shell to calm it down.

After she arrived here, she immediately used her supernatural powers to connect with the spirits of Xiluosi and Long Qi. Both of them were eager to rescue her first, but Ye Ning still felt that there was no need to rush.

After roughly understanding the situation, she used her special powers to lead the two of them to find Bai Yu's exact location.

They were right; Bai Yu was indeed at the deepest point underground. Judging by his rapidly recovering complexion and condition, as well as the metal limbs attached to his body, Bai Yu must be undergoing a transformation and upgrade.

When she learned that Bai Yu had lost one of his hands and was poisoned, yet remained unharmed, she felt something was amiss. Coupled with Xiluosi's comment that Bai Yu's blood had a fishy odor, Ye Ning speculated that Bai Yu might no longer be an ordinary orc.

This speculation might seem outlandish, but Bai Yu was already old, and few ordinary orcs could reach his age. Furthermore, while he passionately researched hibernation technology, fusion technology, and mechanical orcs for the future of Dust Planet, all three were ultimately aimed at prolonging life. He must first find a way to extend his own life.

Moreover, Bai Yu is conceited and hypocritical. For someone like him, the most attractive thing about power is that it can bring a sense of absolute control over others, the feeling of dominating the fate of others, manipulating the direction of everything, and being able to influence the overall situation with his own will, making him feel like a god.

He wanted people's genuine awe, admiration, and submission, not fear, so unless he was pushed into a desperate situation, he would not wantonly kill people in public.

However, after searching for a long time, she still couldn't locate the location of the third Galaxy host.

The control range of the third Galaxy host was extremely small, and it seemed to only cover the dozens of mechanical orcs and nearby weapons facilities.

Ye Ning pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone and said with certainty, "I know where he is."

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to look over, with vigilance, suspicion, and a hint of incredible hope.

One of the chairmen asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

Ye Ning laughed, "He ate so many of my plants and still had a lot on him. The plants I grow are different from others, I can sense it."

Ye Ning raised her hand and pointed downwards, "It's right down there."

After a pause, Ye Ning seemed to suddenly think of something and said with a frown, "But I always feel that there is always a strange smell about Bai Yu. What do you think... could he also be a fused orc?"

Thinking about it this way, Bai Yu really has many strange things. If Bai Yu is really a fusion orc——

The doubts on everyone's faces were instantly replaced by ecstasy, and their breathing became rapid! For them, this news was like a life-saving escape from a desperate situation!

Above.

Various pieces of evidence were displayed one after another on the holographic screen. The shock and anger that had not yet dissipated were still surging in the crowd, but a sudden surge of strong mental power came over and instantly grabbed everyone's attention.

Just like Niu Ling just now, the soldiers from various districts who were already suffering from huge emotional stimulation, suddenly felt a strong mental pressure, and when they got close to him, they could not bear it for a while.

Amidst the chaos, only Long Qi and Xiluos remained upright, their expressions unchanged. In reality, this force wasn't simply mental power, but rather the interweaving and resonant superposition of mental power and a type of biological electromagnetic waves, creating this incredibly intense, chilling pressure.

This is also accompanied by the scientific and technological achievements that Bai Yu is proud of - a spiritual body that emerges from the body of "Long Yu" and floats in the air.

The spirit's appearance was extremely strange, completely different from his and Siros's. It was a feathered monster with twisted bones, its body covered in deformed tentacles covered in eyeballs, each one wriggling haphazardly in the air. Its appearance alone bore a striking resemblance to those failed orc fusions.

The "Dragon Feather" floating at the top is radiating its mental power without any consideration.

Bai Yu obviously could not see this spiritual body. At this moment, his figure was everywhere in the void.

He was wearing a gorgeous suit specially worn for the chairman's succession ceremony, which made him look tall and straight. His face had a gentle expression of compassion for all living beings, as if his whole body was imbued with some kind of divine light.

But his tone was extremely excited at this moment, almost a little crazy, "See? This is a miracle of technology! It is a great achievement that breaks through the limits of human beings..."

On the data panel of the instrument, this is indeed a collection of highly concentrated mental power, but it is weird and deformed, with only the most primitive instincts. However, because Bai Yu and others can only judge based on the numbers on the instrument, they treat them as treasures.

"The concentration of its spiritual power has surpassed all known awakened bodies. Soon, everyone will be able to possess such a perfect awakened body!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, and the enthusiasm in his voice seemed as if it would break through the holographic projection in the next second!

"Your Majesty Long Qi and Xiluo Si, you can release your awakened forms for comparison. Whether it's the level of mental power or strength, it will make you understand what true evolution is!"

He emphasized the last few words, as if he was announcing the arrival of a new era!

The trance and attachment that Long Qi had felt at Long Yu's sudden appearance vanished the moment he saw the spirit form. Instead, a raging rage surged from his body, threatening to consume him completely.

At this moment, the extremely cruel fact before him was like an extremely sharp blade, piercing his heart and making it bleed profusely!

They first inhumanely transformed Long Yu into a fused orc, and then cruelly ripped her brain from her body, stuffed it into a mechanical body, and even gave it the high-sounding name of "immortality"!

Siros was also extremely shocked by the scene before him. He immediately turned to look at Long Qi. Even though there was some distance between them, Siros could still clearly feel Long Qi's emotional ups and downs.

The golden dragon on Ye Ning's wrist also became extremely hot in an instant. She also felt the fierceness and determination that could burn everything. The extremely strong sense of grief, mixed with violence, exploded in her body, as if even her soul was burning and wailing.

Such intense grief almost made Ye Ning unable to control herself and she bent over and covered her heart tightly.

The next second, Long Qi noticed and instantly let the golden dragon leave her wrist. Ye Ning grabbed the golden dragon with her backhand and silently passed her supernatural power to it.

The chef, who had been keeping an eye on Ye Ning's condition, immediately supported her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?!"

Ye Ning was indeed feeling unwell. Her sudden pale face frightened the others. The chairmen immediately gathered around her to inquire about her condition.

It could be said that Ye Ning was their last trump card. If anything happened to Ye Ning in their hands, Bai Yu wouldn't have to do anything; they would be dead without a burial place. Could it be that Bai Yu had already reached out and wanted to take action against Ye Ning?!

This speculation instantly made everyone feel a chill down their spine.

"Doctor? Where's the doctor?"

"Where is the doctor?"

The chef stopped listening to their nonsense and immediately rushed out with Ye Ning on his back. For a moment, the other members of the presidium did not dare to stop him.

And Bai Yu continued to show off his so-called "masterpiece".

"When the mechanical orcs enter mass production, we will usher in true immortality!"

"By then, we will have complete control over our mental powers, and the shackles of bloodline will be completely crushed. Even if one does not have the blood of the Emperor Dragon and does not possess any natural talent, anyone who has an intelligent brain implanted will be able to possess such powerful strength!"

Bai Yu's fanatical declaration was still echoing in the air when suddenly, a subtle buzzing sound came from deep underground and the ground began to shake and tremble.

Deep underground, Bai Yu, who was still recovering in the treatment chamber, suddenly felt a massive tremor! The entire laboratory began to shake violently, the surrounding metal walls began to rapidly close, the original lighting circuits were completely severed, and most of the red liquid in the treatment chamber was directly spilled out!

A tremendous thrust suddenly rose from the bottom of the laboratory, and the entire laboratory was lifted up suddenly as if it was grasped by something!

"Galaxy! Galaxy!" Bai Yu roared amidst the violent shaking.

"Chairman Bai Yu, no external command input has been detected, but forced displacement is occurring in the laboratory!"

The other party had no intention of invading the galaxy. They simply bypassed all intelligent control systems and used the most brutal physical means to uproot his laboratory from the ground like pulling out a carrot!

Everything happened incredibly quickly. As the deafening roar gradually subsided, the outer walls of the laboratory suddenly cracked. The previously sealed cabin began to disintegrate, the surrounding metal walls collapsing with a bang. Bai Yu, along with the half-destroyed treatment cabin, was suspended in the air, completely appearing before everyone!

The surrounding mechanical orcs had received the order long ago and instantly formed an impenetrable human wall to protect him in the center.

Bai Yu's chest was in excruciating pain from the interrupted repairs. The progress bar on the treatment panel was stuck at 98%, just one step away from completing his physical enhancement. He stared at the stagnant number, nearly suffocating in pain, but he gritted his teeth, grabbed the tube connector, and ripped the tubes from his body one by one.

This was the first time he had appeared in public since his hundred years of hibernation, and he couldn't be in such a miserable state!

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to check what was happening, he saw a holographic projection suddenly light up in the air across from him. It was a surviving member of the presidium, his face filled with madness and anger. He pointed at him and roared, "Everyone, look carefully! This lunatic who keeps talking about evolution has already transformed himself into a fusion orc!"

"His so-called evolution requires transforming everyone into fused orcs first! All fused orcs cannot survive more than five years and must consume large amounts of plants to alleviate their pain and prolong their lives. The reason he keeps capturing the Emperor Dragon Clan is simply because he needs Emperor Dragon blood to suppress the virus in his body!"

The chairman, who said this, wasn't actually sure if this was the truth. But Lu Tai was right. At this point, truth or falsehood no longer mattered. What mattered was how to make the people completely despise the other party! Thinking of this, he roared even louder, making sure everyone present could hear clearly what he was saying.

At this moment, Bai Yu was immersed in the scarlet liquid. Orcs have a keen sense of smell, and everyone clearly smelled a bloody odor with a certain stench. For a moment, this statement seemed very reasonable.

But the next second, the chairman who was still speaking had his head blown off!

In the real-time holographic projection, a loud bang resounded, and blood instantly exploded across the entire screen. Amidst the sounds of various weapons, some people wailed, others screamed!

Faintly, everyone seemed to hear someone calling "Master Ye Ning".

As soon as these four words appeared, they instantly caught everyone's attention.

He Yang immediately grabbed Niu Ling's collar and said, "Where is Lady Ye Ning?! Where are these members of the presidium? Where are Yang Zhou and Lu Tai?!"

Niu Ling was much shorter than He Yang. When she suddenly lifted him up, his feet left the ground. "I don't know! I don't know anything about what the Federation did!"

He was more shocked than any of them tonight!

He Yang threw him out directly, turned to Hou Yue and said, "Go and save Lord Ye Ning first!"

Hou Lin and the others should have been staying near Ye Ning. He was just saying that Ye Ning was here, so they shouldn't alert her.

If they dare to touch Ye Ning even a little bit——

At this moment, no one had time to care about what Bai Yu had to say. Whatever he said at this moment was not as important as Ye Ning.

The carefully selected soldiers from the Xisha area quickly followed He Yang's instructions and walked quickly in another direction.

On Ye Ning's side, she was also very surprised to see that a group of people suddenly appeared and hunted down the members of the presidium.

There were gunfire and bullets flying all around, but Ye Ning was surrounded by several thick layers of human walls. Because of her presence, the surrounding soldiers subconsciously gathered around her first.

The moment they evacuated, a member of the presidium just two meters away suddenly let out a short howl, but the scream stopped as soon as it cut through the air.

Ye Ning was originally curled up in the chef's arms, but at this moment she couldn't help but look back.

Deep in the secret room, the ground was littered with corpses lying all over the place, dark red blood was flowing all over the ground, and the air was full of the smell of blood, which made people's throats tight.

They killed so many people, and they probably didn't expect that after they finally woke up from hibernation, what greeted them was not the dawn they had been longing for, but a fight among their own family members to kill each other.

Ye Ning looked at the fused orc who had been protecting her, "Where is Chairman Lu Tai?"

The man was somewhat flattered and immediately said, "Don't worry, Chairman Lu Tai will be fine."

Ye Ning glanced at the man, then quietly snuggled into the chef's arms.

Yes, only the current chairman of Lutai can do so many things.

Everyone acted quickly. It seemed that the enemy's target was only the chairmen. With the support from outside, they evacuated relatively easily.

"Ye Ning!"

Gu Yu, Hou Lin and others had been waiting nearby for a long time. When they realized something was wrong, they immediately led their men to rush in.

Le Song was the first to smell Ye Ning's scent. Although there was a long distance between them, the scent belonging to Ye Ning, with its fresh plant scent, still accurately penetrated into his nostrils. Following the scent, he locked onto Ye Ning's location at a glance.

Every minute and every second that Ye Ning had been missing had been like a tormenting torture for them. It had only been a few days, but to them, it felt like centuries.

At this moment, the ecstasy of reunion swept away all the anxiety. Almost by instinct, with the eagerness to recover what was lost, everyone rushed towards the direction where Ye Ning was.

But something unexpected happened. Just when Le Song was so excited that his ears popped out, several mechanical orcs fell from the sky. Before everyone could react, they had already stretched out their mechanical arms, accurately grasped Ye Ning's body, and lifted her into the air with her short screams!

The chef was practically torn away from her. Ye Ning immediately said, "Don't hurt them!"

The mechanical orcs didn't pause at all, but immediately let go of the chef.

In the chaos, the surrounding fused orcs and soldiers reacted with amazing speed, almost instinctively pouncing on the mechanical orcs that had abducted Ye Ning.

The orcs in the front row immediately spread their wings, and a strong wind whistled up, and they rushed towards the rising mechanical beasts like an arrow. The soldiers in the back row raised their guns and fired almost at the same time. Every shot hit the surrounding mechanical orcs accurately, but all the weapons hit their bodies, only creating a string of sparks. The attacks of the thermal weapons were like scratching an itch, and they couldn't even leave a scratch.

"Don't shoot! Be careful not to hurt Master Ye Ning!"

The movements of those mechanical orcs were terrifyingly precise. Ye Ning was still in their hands. Everyone was afraid to act rashly. After losing the initiative, they held the trigger and dared not move. They could only watch them carrying Ye Ning higher and higher, and their figures quickly shrank in the sky!

Seeing that everyone below was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Ye Ning waved at them instead. Her slightly bright voice came through clearly, with a bit of soothing certainty: "Don't be nervous, they should be taking me to see Bai Yu!"

But to Ye Ning's surprise, she was not taken to Bai Yu.

These mechanical orcs led her through many twists and turns, cleverly shaking off Gu Yu and others' pursuit, and finally brought her into a spacious and bright office. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the entire city. Ye Ning stood inside the window, looking out.

The underground blocks were filled with soldiers from various districts, almost surrounding the entire Emperor Dragon territory.

Ye Ning raised his hand and threw down a ball of supernatural power.

"Master Ye Ning." A clear male voice rang out from behind Ye Ning. It had no mechanical lag, but rather a warm, smooth texture, like jade immersed in stream water.

Ye Ning turned around, and the voice... came from the body of a mechanical orc.

"Xinghe?" There was a hint of subtle surprise in Ye Ning's tone.

"Lord Ye Ning, I'm sorry to meet you in this way." The other party leaned forward slightly, making a gesture similar to a bow, revealing a solemnity that did not belong to AI.

Ye Ning looked around and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

This room seems to be just an ordinary room.

The mechanical orc raised his hands and spread them in the air, and the outlines of Long Qi and Xilos's spirit bodies immediately appeared in mid-air.

The energy body on the left actually clearly outlines the contours of a golden dragon. Although it is just a transparent flow of energy, one can see its majestic momentum of riding on the clouds; the light patterns on the edge of the body on the right are layered like waves, just like a half-open shell.

"Lord Ye Ning, can I examine the awakened forms of Long Qi and His Majesty Xiluos?" Xinghe's voice was filled with a bit of urgency and joy. "Look here."

On the other side of the outline is a strange-shaped outline with messy lines, making it impossible to tell what it is.

"I've studied awakened forms for nearly a hundred years, from their initial simple energy forms to the complex aggregates of today. I've seen countless real specimens. But I've never seen anything as clearly revealed as these."

The light trace suddenly overlapped the dragon shape with the shell outline, and tiny spots of light appeared at the edge.

"Their awakened bodies are alive." Xinghe's voice was full of amazement, as if he was admiring an incomparable work of art.

"The energy of ordinary awakened bodies flows in one direction, with the awakened person outputting mental power to the energy body. However, they are different. Their awakened bodies transmit energy in both directions. While feeding back energy, the awakened bodies even produce the same resonance fluctuations as theirs. His Majesty Siros's awakened body is even more magical and can even change its form."

"What do you want to test?" Ye Ning asked softly, his eyes falling on the flowing light.

"I want to know how their spiritual power materialized, how it evolved from spiritual power into a pure life form." Xinghe's camera lens lit up. "Chairman Bai Yu said that awakened bodies are just aggregated energy, and that being able to control and use them is enough. But their awakened bodies have opened my eyes to another possibility. Perhaps awakened bodies can also be conscious life forms!"

"They are healthy, lively, and have their own personalities and characteristics. This is definitely not something that can be achieved by simple energy aggregation." There was amazement in Xinghe's electronic voice.

The Creator is so wonderful.

A dark blue beam slowly unfolded the spiritual data of Long Qi and Xiluos in mid-air. Xinghe's camera fixed on the flowing energy lines, and Ye Ning unexpectedly detected a near-reverent concentration in them.

Ye Ning admired such pure seekers of knowledge. She said directly, "You are right. They do exist with consciousness."

"It must be my innate power that catalyzed them." As she spoke, she gently raised her hand and threw out a ball of supernatural power.

The mechanical orc immediately started an energy scan and recorded the complete fluctuations of this supernatural power.

"I can cooperate with your research if there's a chance. I also want to see if I can make everyone develop spiritual bodies."

Xinghe didn't expect Ye Ning to be so generous. Suddenly, it got the data it had been dreaming of. Its operating rhythm was instantly stagnant, as if even the processor was in a trance because of this sudden gift.

"Thank you very much for telling me the answer directly. Your talent is truly extraordinary. It's enough for me to study for a long time!"

Ye Ning looked at it, then suddenly leaned over, touched its heart and brain, and asked, "Where is your third host?"

Xinghe seemed to smile, "I can't tell you."

Ye Ning had expected this answer and did not ask any further questions. The feel of it was surprisingly smooth, and it was obviously made with great effort and resources.

After a brief conversation, the mechanical orc gently supported Ye Ning's waist and took off again. Judging from its flight trajectory, it was clearly heading in the direction of Bai Yu.

In the air, Ye Ning suddenly asked, "What if all awakened beings can have consciousness like this?"

"I think that will be a greater evolution than 'immortality'." There was a hint of longing in Xinghe's voice.

Ye Ning thought for a moment, "Chairman Bai Yu believes he is the creator, so he has lost his reverence for nature."

Xinghe didn't say anything, but Ye Ning read a sense of consent from that moment of silence.

She patted the mechanical orc's shoulder. "Can't you put me down here?"

Underground, dense crowds of figures were chasing them frantically, and the surging heads were particularly eye-catching below.

After a few seconds, Xinghe's voice sounded again, "Chairman Bai Yu is my creator. I cannot disobey the obedience instructions in the core program."

Ye Ning nodded, expressing her understanding. However, while it couldn't openly disobey, it could pretend to obey in secret. From this perspective, it truly showed some intelligence beyond the cold machinery.

However, the situation changed drastically overnight. Almost all the members of the presidium were wiped out, and now only Bai Yu is left.

A faint pale grey had already appeared on the horizon, and the cold wind carried the distinct crispness of early morning.

Ye Ning was soon brought back to Bai Yu.

The moment they stepped into the laser matrix, Long Qi and Xilos, who had been using all their strength to attack the mechanical orcs, immediately stopped fighting and surrounded them.

But they were trapped below, with Ye Ning hanging high above. Although the number of fused orcs around them was small, they were like a solid wall, blocking them out. And standing in front of Long Qi was Long Yu.

Long Yu seemed to be saying something, his lips moving constantly, but Long Qi only had Ye Ning's figure in his eyes at this moment, and he ignored her existence. The air pressure around him was so low that it almost condensed into ice.

Bai Yu was like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation. His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper. His cloudy eyes were filled with resentment and were covered with spider-web-like bloodshot due to the severe pain. Suddenly, Ye Ning almost thought that he was facing a pollutant in human skin.

Lu Tai, who had just disappeared for a while, was also on the stage. However, he was in extremely poor condition, with wounds of varying depths all over his body, blood soaking through his clothes. His left arm was already empty from the shoulder down, and it was even bleeding.

Ye Ning frowned and immediately threw a ball of supernatural power at him. Lu Tai's expression finally eased a little.

Bai Yu stared intently at the interaction between the two, his chest heaving violently, "Do you think you can stop me like this?"

He stared at Lu Tai. "I should have realized earlier that the rebels' continued growth was a result of your deliberate connivance. The people you planted around us were all your spies! From the very beginning, you've been plotting to destroy us, destroy this underground research institute, and destroy the hope of humanity's complete evolution!"

Lu Tai's face was pale, but he still straightened his back and said in a hoarse voice: "Evolution? It's built with the lives of countless people, and you still call it evolution!"

At this point, Bai Yu didn't want to say anything more to this loser. He suddenly turned to look at Ye Ning, the hatred in his eyes almost overflowing, "And you! If you hadn't appeared out of nowhere, my plan would have been successful long ago! My mechanical orcs have awakened! They have their own consciousness! It's you! It's you who ruined everything! It's you who made Xinghe have such thoughts that he shouldn't have!"

Ye Ning looked at the big screen in the distance and realized that her conversation with Xinghe had actually been broadcast. This angle of view was from the bracelet Lu Tai had given her.

"Why are you on Sea Dust Star? You shouldn't be here at all!"

Ye Ning met his gaze calmly: "If there is no me, there will be others."

Lu Tai had already been secretly planning and trying to make all this happen. She was indeed a variable, but even without her, there would always be others who would step forward.

Bai Yu staggered back half a step and took out a metal device that flashed red light. "Do you think you can beat me like this? Naive!" His roar was filled with a desperate and crazy feeling.

Ye Ning didn't know what he was holding in his hand, but at this critical moment, Ye Ning and Bai Yu moved almost at the same time!

Bai Yu, like a dying beast, dragged his broken body towards Ye Ning, his eyes filled with the ruthless determination to die together. But Ye Ning was even faster. In the blink of an eye, her body rushed towards Bai Yu like an arrow from a bow. The shovel in her hand shone with a cold light, and with a "whoosh", she chopped off Bai Yu's wrist cleanly!

The severed hand holding the starting device suddenly fell to the ground, beyond everyone's expectation. The golden dragon wrapped around Ye Ning was like an invisible iron chain, locking Bai Yu, who was about to move, in mid-air, making him unable to move at all.

The mechanical orcs that were about to rush up from the surroundings were completely blocked outside by the huge shell spirit body condensed by Silos!

But at this moment, Bai Yu showed a strange smile on his face, and gasped in his throat: "It's too late..."

"Ye Ning!" Exclamations rang out everywhere.

Countless compression tanks filled with high-concentration pollutants had their valves opened long ago. In just a few breaths, the pollutants gushed out, and the pollution concentration in the surroundings instantly soared to an extremely terrifying level!

"Let me see—" Bai Yu spoke with difficulty, black, smelly blood foam already overflowing from the corners of his mouth, "Wait until they all lose their minds and turn into mindless monsters, will you kill them with your own hands, or let them—"

Before Bai Yu finished speaking, the shovel in Ye Ning's hand had already made a sharp sound as it broke through the air and pierced into his heart cleanly and neatly!

Bai Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment. He couldn't believe that the small shovel in her hand could so easily penetrate his armor that even thermal weapons couldn't penetrate!

Ye Ning met his gaze and easily pushed the shovel in a little further. The fishy blood gushed out along the blade of the shovel, completely drowning out his unfinished words.

When Ye Ning looked up, the first ray of morning light just crossed the horizon and fell obliquely on Bai Yu's still wide-open eyes.

Ye Ning stared at Bai Yu and gently helped him close his eyes.

The pollution concentration in the surrounding area rose sharply, and the surrounding soldiers immediately began purification work.

Ye Ning also raised her hand and used her special powers.

Ye Ning looked at the mechanical orcs around her and said, "Now that Bai Yu is dead, can you listen to me?"

"Galaxy?"

Xinghe didn't say anything, but the mechanical orcs around him fell completely silent.

The moment the laser matrix disappeared, everyone rushed over. Silos and Long Qi even rushed in and hugged Ye Ning, "Fortunately, you're okay!"

There were still stained blood on Long Qi's face, but the moment he saw that she was intact, his tense jawline softened a little.

"Ye Ning, Ye Ning!" Le Song rushed to the front, and his two ears rubbed Ye Ning's neck excitedly.

Ye Ning hugged him generously and rubbed his head vigorously.

Gu Yu followed closely behind, while Gu Su and Hou Lin grinned, but their eyes were red. Hou Lin cursed, saying "I was scared to death", and while saying this, he did not forget to step on Bai Yu's body twice; Cang Chen and Shao Yu stood side by side, one gently smoothed her messy hair, and the other silently took off his coat and put it on her.

Feng Jin, Lu Chuan, Hou Sen, He Yang... everyone surrounded her, their eyes filled with fear and worry.

Ye Ning took a deep breath, and the morning breeze mixed with the unique coolness after the rain poured into her lungs, instantly helping her wash away a lot of fatigue.

Bai Yu’s death is not the end, but a new beginning.

The transformed fusion bodies and experimental subjects need to be resettled, the long-dormant researchers need to be resettled, the polluted sites need to be cleansed, and order on Dust Star needs to be reestablished...

Most importantly, there are countless tragedies like Long Yu's that need to be remembered and avoided.

Hou Lin put the new filter mask he brought on Ye Ning's head and said, "Let's go quickly. The pollution here is too serious."

Ye Ning smiled and began to release her special abilities.

It rained all night in the Federal Territory, and the fine raindrops completely scattered the seeds. Some landed among the ruins of dilapidated buildings, some embedded themselves in the cracks of the road, and still others, carried by the torrential downpour, quietly took root in the corners of the ruins.

As Ye Ning unleashed her powers, the wind through the streets was tinged with the delicate fragrance of sprouting plants. The Emperor Dragon Realm, shrouded in pollution and blood, began to gently regenerate.

In the originally dead and silent Emperor Dragon territory, tender buds began to emerge, and vines spread upward. Patches of tender green blossomed with vigorous vitality in this ruin at a speed visible to the naked eye.
