It is a thick, straight tree trunk that even an adult cannot encircle, reaching straight into the sky, with countless branches as thick as an arm hanging down from the dense green leaves and plunging straight into the ground.
"Come here and watch carefully."
Lin Ling beckoned to Zhou Siyu, who quickly walked to his side and watched him operate the device intently.
Lin Ling turned on the communicator, entered a string of code on a black page, and the thick tree trunk moved, slowly cracking open to reveal a camera the same color as the tree trunk.
"Iris verification in progress..."
"Verification successful. Database access activated. Welcome to the Interstellar Alliance Database..."
A vortex gate shimmering with silver-blue light slowly appeared on the tree trunk, resembling a legendary time tunnel.
The spaceship was quickly swallowed by the vortex, the vortex door closed rapidly, and the tree trunk returned to its original state.
After parking the spaceship at the designated location, Lin Ling led Zhou Siyu through the corridor and into a blue-purple pillar of light.
A string of blue, green, and red data codes flitted around her. Zhou Siyu raised her hand in surprise, but the data codes slipped quickly through her fingers.
"This is the database, the storage place for all the alliance's information."
Lin Ling walked to the center and operated the communicator. A white round table slowly rose up, and a huge virtual screen was suspended in mid-air, surrounding the two of them.
"This place stores all the data from the Union Communications network over the past two decades. All the information sent, the phone calls made, and the files stored using the unified communications network are all here."
"All information?"
Zhou Siyu looked left and then right, her phoenix eyes filled with delight but also a hint of doubt.
Lin Ling smiled slightly and began operating the round table in front of him. As his ten fingers flew across the table, clear audio came from all directions.
"How's the plan going?"
"It went very smoothly, Chu Yunmu has already joined the circle."
"Next, we'll go to Yuwei."
"..."
"What are you doing? Why did Xiao Gu go there too?"
"Don't worry, Lin Gu will be fine."
"..."
"Yu Wei isn't dead, did you know that?"
"I just got the news; he got lucky this time!"
"We can't let him come back alive..."
"Let him die far, far away, preferably in some godforsaken place like Planet Twenty-Eight."
"..."
"Bang!"
Zhou Siyu slammed his fist on the table, his chest heaving violently. Qin Ye, Chu Sheng, Zhou Qi, and Lin Mei, why did they all want to kill Yu Wei?
He clearly didn't do anything wrong!
"You...you all knew all this?" Zhou Siyu's raven-white eyelashes trembled slightly. Seeing Lin Ling nod slightly, Zhou Siyu's eyes widened, and she took a step back in disbelief. "Why? Since you all knew everything, why didn't you save him? Why didn't you stop him and watch him go to his death? Why didn't you send someone to protect him?"
“He doesn’t need protection!” Lin Ling glanced at Zhou Siyu indifferently, continued operating the center console, and said something colder than the wind and snow of the dead of winter: “His duty is to protect others, not to be protected.”
"He needs the right opportunity to complete his second differentiation, he needs to become stronger, he needs to experience life and death, he needs to learn to let go of unimportant things, he needs to learn to grow..."
“He’s a human being!” Zhou Siyu interrupted Lin Ling angrily, his fists cracking. “He’s a living, breathing human being, not an algorithm program you wrote, nor a machine without feelings.”
It turns out that Yu Wei's life was planned from the very beginning. Lin Ling had planned a perfect life for him, from the youth training camp to the alliance army, from an ordinary soldier to a general, from making friends to choosing a partner. Every step he took was planned by Lin Ling.
Just like a train, it can only travel along a predetermined track.
So what about Yu Zhen? What role did he play in all of this?
Guide? Implementer? Promoter?
These are things that perhaps only they themselves know.
"Do you think he'll feel sorry for himself? No, he'll feel lucky." Lin Ling searched through the data, looking with satisfaction at the lines of green text appearing on the screen: "A happy family, no worries about food and clothing, a successful career. His superior genes are unmatched, his captivating face is unique, the honors he has received are something ordinary people could never achieve even if they racked their brains their whole lives, and the status he possesses is unimaginable for ordinary people. To become a god, he naturally has to be different from ordinary people."
"Everything he has is a gift from me, and he should feel lucky about it."
Lin Ling left the round table, walked slowly to Zhou Siyu with her hands behind her back, and bowed slightly. Her narrow, fox-like eyes gleamed with smugness and cunning. Meeting the furious Zhou Siyu, she smiled slightly and said, "Don't feel sorry for him. He deserves all of this."
No one is born to be controlled by others...
"Really?" Lin Ling raised an eyebrow, slowly stood up, crossed her arms, and leisurely glanced at Zhou Siyu. "I don't believe you would like the old Yu Wei."
“Omegas are naturally drawn to strength. Compared to the cowardly but gentle Alpha, they prefer a powerful, all-powerful king who can control everything, don’t they?”
"That's a generalization based on a single instance."
When his thoughts were guessed, Zhou Siyu looked away and glanced at another corner, his arrogant demeanor diminishing somewhat.
He must admit that he prefers the current Yu Wei to the one who always compromises and makes concessions. Yu Wei is strong, independent, decisive, proactive, and passionate, possessing both a coldness that can be aloof and an approachable warmth.
This lushness is like a cheetah lurking in the wilderness, ready to pounce at any moment—dangerous yet captivating.
