He did not pay too much attention to the battlefield. After returning to the signal coverage area, Lin Qingliu tapped the communicator and soon received a response from "Wanjuan". He also learned about the changes in the city during the short time he was away.
"Your plan was successful."
"not yet."
Lin Qingliu shook his head:
“On the contrary, the most critical step has just begun.
"I'm already aware of the changes in the outside world. Let Zhuang Mian continue to hunt down Lachesis, and leave the rest to me."
"clear."
Lin Qingliu's figure flashed again, he passed by countless strange beasts that were being killed and headed towards the part of the forest that had not yet been destroyed.
Lin Qingliu had just traveled halfway when he felt dizzy, as if an invisible gravity was pulling him.
He was forced to reveal himself in the air and found that a faint black line could be seen in the sky to the south and north.
The "Kurotide" is coming.
The golden cross on Lin Qingliu's chest was so hot that it was about to melt. He forced it to remain still and then continued on his way to his destination.
He easily blew away the gray-white spores, which landed deep in the remaining dense forest.
There are still large tracts of trees here, and countless exotic beasts are being bred, but the speed of new birth is far less than the damage caused by humans.
Lin Qingliu came to the largest tree and put his hand on the trunk of the giant tree:
"Kloto, come out."
A gust of wind seemed to blow out of nowhere in the dense forest, and an extremely weak gray-white monster walked out from behind the thick tree trunks.
This strange beast looked skinny, as if it would die of weakness and old age in the next second. It opened its eyes and looked at the human in front of it:
"What's up?"
It can be seen that although this consciousness has not died yet, it has almost reached its limit due to the previous severe damage, and it is very difficult to maintain this form.
Lin Qingliu reached out and took out the drop of rainbow-colored liquid from another dimension, and displayed it in front of Cloto:
"Atropos is dead."
"I felt it, and so did Lachesis. Although there is still some biofield left, only one tenth of it remains."
Clotho was in a very bad condition at the moment. He controlled this body, said these words, then sat down in front of the giant tree and began to gasp.
Lin Qingliu threw the drop of liquid at Cloto:
"This contains the content of my communication with Atropos. You can sense it."
What Lin Qingliu said was indeed true, but it was only partly true.
The information in this drop of liquid was like an edited version of the conversation between the two. Lin Qingliu cleverly deleted the parts that were unfavorable to him and included all of Atropos' negative remarks.
The strange beast absorbed the drop of liquid into its body and felt it for a while, and soon showed an expression of fear.
He looked at Lin Qingliu, and there was no hope on his face:
“So that’s how it is, so this is our nature.
"It seems that there is a reason why we lose. We are defective products, so how can we go against the will of the Creator?
"Thank you for letting me die with peace of mind."
"No need. You are going to die, no doubt about that. But I am showing you this because I want to make a deal with you."
Lin Qingliu looked down at the strange beast, suppressing the burning pain in his chest and putting on an indifferent expression.
"What?"
"Are you willing to use your death to exchange for the survival of your creation?"
The strange beast suddenly raised its head and looked at Lin Qingliu, with surprise and confusion in its eyes, as if it completely didn't understand why the other party did this.
Lin Qingliu and the strange beast looked at each other and explained in a calm tone:
"It's true that humans won the war, but all the biological samples that humans brought to this planet have been lost. Even if humans win, they can't last a hundred years with the current circulatory system.
“I know that Atropos gave you all the samples when you separated, so… I need you to replicate the organisms in the gene bank exactly, so that this planet can become as vibrant as the human home planet.
“As for what the human home planet looked like, you should have seen it in those people’s memories.
"After completing all of this, you will die and disappear from this world forever, but your creations, the plants, animals, and even microorganisms you created, will forever participate in the material and energy cycle on this planet until this place becomes a completely dead place."
Lin Qingliu looked down at Cloto's body:
"Kloto, do you accept my deal?"
The expression on the strange beast's face changed several times, and it seemed to hear the roars of its creations before death, and the instinctive dependence on it shown by those strange beasts that did not even have the ability to think.
"I accept, but my base has been destroyed by you, and the biomass underground is highly toxic. There is nothing I can do..."
"Atropos."
Lin Qingliu interrupted his explanation and provided a more efficient solution:
"Atropos is completely dead. Use your hyphae to encircle and devour the biomass he left behind. After all, he is one of the three consciousnesses, and the legacy he left behind is enough for you to complete the transaction.
"Go ahead and do it, finish it, and then die on your own without having to come to me again."
Lin Qingliu did not say what would happen if Clotho breached the contract. From the moment the joint attack between him and Lachesis failed, the defeat of Mycelium was already expected.
Neither the Black Tide nor Atropos's suicide had any essential impact on the war.
If Clotho still had a bit of common sense, he would have followed the terms of the deal. If he chose to breach the contract...
