Chapter 67 Call Date
The Great Wilderness. Planet BV-32II. The wasteland of the biosphere.
The wilderness was silent, the wind had stopped, and wisps of white smoke once again filled the charred earth.
The safe house was reduced to rubble from the inside out.
Su Xi stood at the original address of the safe house which had been reduced to a flat ground. She tightly grasped Xiguang's chip which she had picked up in her hand, and felt a little empty and confused in her heart.
She couldn't explain what this feeling was. She didn't feel the relief of escaping from the 'death sickle', nor did she have the excitement after breaking through the limits and 'advancing' twice before, nor did she have the feeling of being full of energy from the inside out.
She even glanced at the tied-up Vulture Snow. She had not yet withdrawn her spiritual power, and could clearly sense the other party's strange thoughts. But she was not very interested in asking him why he came, and what was the cause and effect of this assassination of the weak by the strong.
She is not interested.
She followed the still wind in the wilderness and fell into a bored and empty state.
But the intuitive consciousness deep in her brain kept clamoring, with an extremely strong impulse, reminding her and calling her:
'No! Don't stop here.'
'Go explore!'
'What you expect, what you want, is not here.'
As the noise in her heart grew louder, she finally became annoyed.
"Then where is what I want?" She looked down at Xiguang's chip in her palm and whispered, "I once asked Xiguang three questions..."
"I don't know the answer myself."
"What do I expect?" She suddenly forced a blank smile, "What do I want?"
She did not ignore her intuition, but at this moment she seemed "powerless" to respond to the reminder of her intuition, and "powerless" to take any specific action.
At this time, Snow, the "vulture", whose limbs had been removed and tied to the side, unable to move, was watching and witnessing all this happening.
As an experienced hunter, an alpha who had experienced several promotions, when he saw Su Xi stand up and walk step by step into the ruins, and saw that frail figure appearing ethereal and vague, he roughly understood her current situation.
On the surface, Su Xi's state, this "empty and confused" psychological state is just an emotional gap caused by changes in body hormones, which is common after a "life and death battle".
But for Su Xi's own special physique, she has always relied on the advancement path of "raising the threshold of mental power" to fight against the death speed of this body that had been tortured to the point of having little life left in the UFO laboratory.
In other words, once her mental strength completely collapses, her body's functions will be completely lost, and she will die.
Although it has not yet reached the worst possible situation, with the spiritual energy gradually weakening, it is not far from the final step.
"Empty and confused" is just a psychological projection, which can be glimpsed from facial expressions and behaviors.
Invisible to the naked eye, inside Su Xi's body, the mental circuits that had just expanded in her brain began to swirl back and forth little by little in an extremely slow manner due to her chaotic emotions and depressed will. The 'heart chakra' that had just solidified also gradually began to show a state of being about to dissipate as the mental circuits became disordered.
The substance as fine as golden sand that had settled in the core of her spiritual power gradually became dim.
All these changes happened silently, accompanied by the still wind in the wilderness and the increasingly dim aurora in the sky.
As for the "vulture" Snow who was secretly waiting for the opportunity, although he could not feel the changes inside Su Xi's body, the artificial ear that had been deeply modified by the half-robot allowed him to clearly capture the doubts of Su Xi muttering to herself.
He turned his bionic eye excitedly, knowing that the time to turn the tables had come.
He was now absolutely certain that this alpha pretending to be an omega had fallen into an extremely unstable sequelae of promotion!
Then, Vulture Snow began to think secretly in his heart. He tried to struggle at first. Although he still couldn't completely break free from the insect armor that bound him, the force of the binding became obviously loosened.
He tried to break free little by little.
At this time, Su Xi was standing in the ruins, her eyes gradually becoming empty, and her originally restrained mental power suddenly dispersed outwards uncontrollably——
Looking around in confusion, the reddish-brown wilderness within my sight suddenly faded away like a black-and-white silent film...
Looking up at the sky, it is like a black canvas, with countless dark and light graffiti lines gradually emerging, and interweaving and overlapping with each other in a random pattern...slowly, covering the entire sky.
Su Xi then became interested. She examined it carefully and found that those lines seemed to be a mischievous child who had painted layer upon layer of insect shadows on the same black canvas.
Su Xi turned her eyes away without interest, and began to explore deeper underground with her scattered mental power...
It's not that she didn't realize that something was wrong with her, but the deep feeling of powerlessness in her mind kept pulling her down, down, down…
From the deepest part of this planet, a long wave of spiritual energy was calling to her, a familiar noisy whisper, a frequency band beyond the limits of human hearing, lingering and circling around her.
Everything seemed to converge into a common voice, and that voice seemed to say -
'Come here'
'quick'
'Come here'
Like a puppet being pulled, Su Xi's "consciousness" involuntarily followed the torrent of countless noises, sinking deeply...
Her consciousness passed through the rough, dry reddish-brown ground of this arid wasteland, through the intricate and developed plant root systems, and through the winding underground caves of tiny insects and ants...
It even passed through the hard granite layer and the entire surface crust, which is 50 kilometers deep but as thin as an eggshell compared to the entire volume of the planet...
Su Xi herself was standing on the wasteland, lost in a meditative state, with a confused yet extremely complicated expression flashing across her face. All of this... seemed so familiar?
The structure of this planet is so familiar that it almost brings tears to my eyes. The echo of this special sound wave... all vaguely reveals a probability that is almost impossible to happen. Why am I here?
With such doubts in mind, Su Xi's consciousness continued to sink with a little urgency until it reached the mantle layer of the planet.
The "sound" here is louder and more layered, with countless noisy and chaotic afterwaves interweaving and traveling through increasingly dense matter. The frequency of those waves is faster and louder!
She couldn't stop her mental power from probing deeper, but it resonated with it in a strange and harmonious frequency...
Slowly, the long waves of Su Xi's spiritual power that were exploring downwards intertwined with those countless noisy sounds. In the spiritual world, she almost hummed in an intoxicated chorus, wanting to let out a long scream.
Finally, when all the noises were drawn and gathered together under the participation of Su Xi's consciousness, and under her deliberate guidance, like a very thick knitting needle, it skillfully and delicately wove various noisy waves...
Finally, it was composed into a set of harmonious resonant energy waves, and the speed of the amplified spiritual long waves suddenly increased!
And then, it quickly passed through the dark ocean beneath the thin crust of the earth.
It passed through the asthenosphere of the lithosphere, the hard and solid lower mantle, and the outer layer of the hot and flowing core...
It seemed that every time a level was penetrated, the speed at which the consciousness descended doubled like a snowball!
Accelerate sinking.
Speed up again.
In a moment, Su Xi's scattered consciousness, carrying with it the tremendous energy, approached the depths of the earth's center with an irresistible force.
There, it is not the core of the earth squeezed into a liquid iron ball as in common sense, but a squirming and intertwined ball of light!
The interconnected light points formed a network, and the network of light intertwined to form mist. And between the misty, luminous matter, there seemed to be something more special...
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, trying to use her mental power to clearly describe the glowing substance, but her brain suddenly felt a sharp pain! At this moment, she had not yet realized that it was a sign that her mental power was being drained!
Just when things were heading for the worst, the fragmented "ice flame" substance that had been absorbed into her body suddenly emitted a burning and anxious warning signal, stirring restlessly inside her body.
However, Su Xi's consciousness is still lost in the spiritual link with the special consciousness of this planet.
Lost, almost to an abnormal level of intoxication...
At this moment, fragments of 'ice flame' material seemed to be boiling out from her 'heart chakra' which was close to disintegration. Su Xi felt a burning pain in her chest that was both hot and cold.
And it was this kind of pain that forcibly pulled back her dissipated mental strength and her consciousness that was about to dissipate——
ah--
It felt like I was hit hard in the heart!
Su Xi gasped and exhaled, then suddenly came to her senses.
The mysterious power that had originally tempted her, the feeling of being dragged so deeply and helplessly, suddenly disappeared at this moment, just as suddenly as it appeared.
Her empty eyes gradually focused on the situation happening in front of her.
She looked down.
A sharp metal dagger was hanging over her heart.
Sizzle——
The hunter is controlling the dagger with his mental power in a desperate attempt to make a final sneak attack!
She slowly followed the trajectory of the thrown dagger and looked over. The cyborg, which had already escaped from the restraints of the insect armor, was only half a meter away from her, but could not get any closer to her.
Su Xi blinked very slowly, and in her amber eyes, the halo of the protective energy shield held up by 'Ice Flame' was reflected. It was an extremely beautiful fluorescence.
Through this thin layer of fluorescent light, a vicious and unwilling face was reflected in the depths of her pupils.
This sudden change took only 1.56 seconds.
The vulture 'Snow' on the opposite side found that something was wrong. He roared suddenly and burst out with 3S limit mental power, driving the dagger to stab towards Su Xi's heart centimeter by centimeter.
Although facing death again, Su Xi found herself still in a state of confusion and powerlessness where she didn't care about anything.
Including one's own life and death——
Without the response and guidance of her subjective consciousness, the 'Ice Flame' barrier suddenly shattered!
But for the vulture Snow, this was his chance! He laughed, moved, and staggered over in a ridiculous posture.
Bang!
The dagger fell to the ground.
But the hunter didn't care. He was less than an arm's length away from Su Xi at this moment. He ruthlessly tore off his ribs that were already sticking out, and aimed the sharp end at Su Xi's throat, ready to stab it hard!
He could have chosen a more effective method, but he chose the most cruel one!
It looked like this petite omega was about to have her trachea pierced!
Boom——
There was a subtle sound, as subtle as the popping of a bottle of chilled champagne by the swimming pool in summer.
A few drops of blood flew out, and less than ten centimeters away from Su Xi's eyes, the vulture Snow was shot in the head by a sudden gunshot.
Su Xi slowly lowered her eyes and looked over. What had accurately pierced the vulture Snow's forehead was a very tiny red dot. However, this red dot was now slowly corroded and expanded into a hole by the remaining energy, accompanied by a very slight sizzling sound...
The cyborg's entire head was almost completely melted away.
In less than a moment.
Su Xi shifted her gaze from the half-robot corpse at her feet and met a face full of worry.
But this bright and beautiful face was forcing out a smile that was as gentle as possible.
"Hi, little cutie!" Chris, with his curly hair tied up high and a flat military uniform that couldn't hide his curvy figure, looked at her with a little worry, "Are you okay?"
"I……"
Su Xi opened her lips and wanted to say something, but the consequences of having her mental strength drained away were fully apparent at this moment.
She collapsed into the crook of Chris's hastily outstretched arms.

[The journey of humanity in this universe + ABO society + The origin of spiritual power]
01. Preface: The Origin of Humankind and the Journey of the ‘Great Drifting Era’
How did humans appear in this universe? How did they evolve into the current society where "A power is supreme"?
All the evidence of the origin is concentrated in a small silicon-based medium, which contains all the genomic information and the most basic theoretical technology of primitive humans, and there is no more byte information.
In the subsequent research on human history, various academic schools such as "origin theory", "evolution theory" and "mutation theory" have their own opinions. However, no matter which school's theory and research, they cannot truly solve the two most core problems.
One of the most critical questions is: where did humans originate before the advent of silicon-based media?
True history is like a star that has been annihilated and collapsed. The truth follows the burned-out hydrogen core and is blurred in the gray cosmic dust and cannot be verified.
During humanity's long interstellar conquest, during the first sexual evolution in the 'Great Drift Era', the speed of natural evolution clearly could not keep up with the harsh and desolate environment of the universe. For the survival of the species, humans broke the restrictions of 'natural ethics' and began to vigorously develop genetic engineering. The objects of the transformation experiments were transferred from cold mechanical bodies to human bodies themselves.
It is very clear and verifiable that the only genetically engineered species that was modified was the bisexual BETA, in order to adapt to the great crisis of human extinction at any time under the harsh cosmic rays during the 'Great Drift Era'.
Even in the major digital libraries in the central galaxy, one can still look up the human screening project, which was code-named "Project Dandelion" at the time.
In the era of bisexual BETA, the development of human spiritual power was still in its infancy.
.
02. The fateful enemy race, the 'insect race'
As humanity's mother ship 'Hope' advanced deeper into the universe, it became more and more adept at mobilizing interstellar energy, and humanity's 'dandelions' began to fall on major life galaxies along the way. It was at this time that humanity encountered the 'scavengers' of the universe - the Zerg for the first time.
Faced with the Zerg's powerful bodies, rapid evolution in succession, a mind network shared by the entire tribe... and a social model where everyone is a soldier, the survival strategy extended from the 'Dandelion Project' suffered a devastating blow.
After entering the interstellar space, humans began to retract their expansion line, trying to avoid the most resource-rich areas in the universe and shrinking to a corner of the Great Desolate Star Region.
However, after humans settled down in the selected star systems such as the Great Wilderness and Siren, they found that they could not survive forever just by staying in the middle and lower reaches of the pyramid of life.
The resources of the universe are limited, but the Zerg, as "scavengers", have an insatiable and greedy demand for cosmic energy.
Or to be frank, not only does the expansion of the Zerg require energy, but the same is true for humans who already have the initial entry ticket to the race for cosmic domination.
If humans can still sit down and negotiate while fighting, it is because due to the common origin of "biological attributes", human thinking patterns are still similar, there are common aspects of humanity, and there are basic interests for the survival of the group.
However, humans and Zerg, two intelligent species, not only have different biological attributes and social structures, but even their "life bases" are completely different.
The only thing that is the same is the desire for survival and possession of resources, which is engraved in the original genetic program.
Conflicts between humans and Zerg are inevitable, and coexistence is even more impossible.
.
03. The origin of superhumans and spiritual power
As the needs of human beings expand, they face more severe challenges for survival, especially when facing psychic races such as Zerg and Noah, which are beyond the reach of the old technology tree. They are almost powerless to fight back.
Humans had no choice but to resort to genetic engineering again and embark on the path of genetic fusion with other species.
And this road of gene fusion, amidst countless twists and turns and bloody progress, has two forks. The first successful idea of gene fusion is still to optimize the strength of the 'physical body' based on the existing fusion technology. This mature idea once created a 'golden age' for mankind. That was the 'golden age' when mankind lived in the Siren Galaxy!
The entire Siren Galaxy became the Siren of humanity. In that "golden age", humanity not only mastered the mobilization of stellar energy, but also began ambitious exploration of mobilization of energy at the "galaxy" level. In this way, the Siren Galaxy's humanity transitioned from stellar civilization to "galaxy civilization".
With the development, the human gene pool has been integrated with extremely stable and rich "strong beast" genes, and batches of strong beastmen have been born. With the Beta evolved humans in the "Great Drift Era", humans have their own division of labor, and humans have entered the "three-sex" society in the Golden Age.
At this time, whether it is the budding mental strength, the strength of the □□, or the strength of natural intelligence, there is no cross-level difference between the three genders.
And the trend of the "natural school" never faded during the golden age.
Therefore, although pure human genes were rare during the 'Golden Age', there were still a few populations left.
Gradually, a second evolutionary fork of gene fusion emerged.
A group of humans with strong beast genes are content with the status quo of the Siren, advocating to avoid the Zerg and passively respond to invasion. Another group of elite humans advocates creating a "superhuman" civilization, and avoiding the crisis of genocide in the decline of civilization through active attacks.
It was this group of humans who completely abandoned "natural ethics" and took the "original gene pool" of mankind out of the Siren Galaxy and embarked on a journey of interstellar conquest where they would either fight or perish.
In this even crazier gene fusion process, a group of super humans with a very high probability of awakening their 'mental power' were born, and the best ones were named 'alpha' humans.
In order to commemorate the 'Originator' and the 'Gene Evolution Enzyme' extracted from him that played the most critical role, his direct descendants were named the 'Gerald Bloodline' by later generations of humans.
Later, in order to continue and stabilize the genes of this group of 'super humans', customized genders as 'breeders' were created. This is the original origin of the gender 'omega'.
The Beta gender has remained as a binary gender and has also evolved in terms of physical fitness indicators.
In this way, after dozens of generations of evolution, the human interstellar empire was formed, and the current social model of six ABO genders is used to distinguish genders based on "glandular characteristics".
