Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 4031 Who is Old Cow?
"We just set up the workbench, ready to cut the Terra weapons..."

In the celestial realm, Dr. Gina shrugged, expressing her helplessness.

Previously, Maishere had obtained a portion of the wreckage of a Terra satellite weapon from Momei at the original Terra site. It was about the size of a room and contained the secrets of Terra technology. He was preparing to dismantle and analyze it when the wreckage suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

Mo Mei smiled and explained that Ye Lin had reversed Terra's timeline, so the satellite fragments also needed to return to the correct time and location.

Then the boss didn't know that you were researching Terra satellite debris, which led to this very coincidental situation.

"Let's leave it for now. We can talk to him about it after this disaster is over. It's not worth bothering him with such a trivial matter." Lindsay, the innocent and considerate girl, thought that the research on Terra technology could be put on hold for now, as they had other work to do.

Everyone in the family group knows what Ye Lin is doing and what crisis is about to occur. They are all worried and nervous, but their understanding is not as comprehensive as that of Mo Mei and the others.

Nain Sieg agreed with Little White Flower's opinion, saying in a somewhat disjointed accent, "Well, let's... let's go down first, we're not in a hurry... Ye Lin must be under... a lot of pressure right now."

When Nain is in front of strangers she doesn't know, she gets nervous and starts to stutter. If there are more than two strangers, she gets extremely nervous and doesn't dare to say a word.

Later, with everyone's support, Nain's nervousness and stuttering improved somewhat, but he hasn't fully recovered yet.

Nain is currently feeling mostly nervous, due to his anxiety about what Ye Lin is doing, which is why his speech is not very coherent.

When everyone learned that Ye Lin was communicating with the previous sage of Terra, they subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by a sage looking like he might be forty years old, or he might be thirty?"

"Pretending, just pretending." Maisheel walked over with a disdainful expression. "I don't believe you idiots! You're all top-tier intellectuals, how could you not know what that means?!"

On the surface, it means that the sage may be forty years old, but he takes good care of his health and looks ten years younger, or conversely, he may only be thirty years old, but he looks older because of the fatigue of life, so he looks forty years old.

Considering that the sage was quite handsome, the former scenario is more likely.

Then, the real implication, Maisiere reasonably suspects, is that her best friends are actually teasing her about still being attractive, since she is the oldest among them, and even Dr. Gina, who looks the most mature, is a year younger than her.

Or to put it another way, Maisiere is four years older than that gentle and doting curator.

“We didn’t mean that,” Gina said with a smile, still stubbornly insisting.

"I didn't even say it, but you all figured out what I meant, right?" Maisheel raised a slender finger to brush a strand of hair from her forehead, then casually made the middle finger gesture.

I'm so tired of this. A bunch of fake besties, always playing the same outdated joke. Aren't they tired of it?

Then she said in a sighing, wistful tone, "I am indeed almost forty years old. For a woman, forty is almost a death sentence; it is the time of aging."

She maintains her appearance and figure very well, dresses fashionably, and has fair and smooth skin. If she walked outside, people would believe she was eighteen, but the number "forty years old" sounds really scary.

Whether you're a man or a woman, forty years old gives the impression of being approaching middle or old age.

"So what? We'll all be forty sooner or later anyway," Dr. Gina said nonchalantly. With the General around, their bodies were practically set. Whether they were fifty or sixty, they would maintain the same beauty, with smooth skin, large breasts, and shapely buttocks that would only become more appealing.

Of course, Lindsay should be an exception, as she is flat-chested.

Fortunately, Gu Yu didn't hear their casual banter, otherwise she would definitely have complained in a low voice, "You guys are only forty years old and you're already acting like you're going to die, but I'm over two hundred years old, okay?"

.........

Terra's original site.

The sage slowly pulled down her glasses and looked directly into Ye Lin's eyes, who had just asked "how I am." Of course, since she was truly nearsighted, and with a high degree of nearsightedness, she couldn't see people's faces clearly from two meters away. So, this action didn't actually make eye contact with Ye Lin; it was just a way of saying, "I'm looking at you carefully, scrutinizing you."

"It's not a good idea for an old ox to eat young grass," the sage said, pushing his glasses back into place, pulling out a suitcase, and stuffing clothes inside.

The sage has a rather carefree and free-spirited personality. He is a decisive and efficient person. After awakening his past memories and learning about Terra's current situation, he immediately decided to seize the time to enjoy life and savor the last rays of his life.

Who knows when, everything, including Terra, will vanish into nothingness.

Moreover, she retains the last scene of being killed by a semi-out-of-control artificial god in her memory. Having experienced the last scene of death, she knows the taste of death. It is an instant of darkness, a coldness without any feeling, and a sudden cessation of consciousness... Therefore, the sage cherishes everything she has now.

“I don’t mind. Although you’re forty, you look like you’re thirty, and you still have room for improvement. Your facial features are very good, and your figure is also very good. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. With a little dressing up and changing into some fashionable clothes, you’ll definitely have the charm of an eighteen-year-old beauty.” Ye Lin indicated that he didn’t mind this situation, and the sage’s age was indeed a little over forty.

Clothing and grooming have a great influence on a woman's appearance, especially the simple white academic uniform of a sage, which is very monotonous, and her hair is not well taken care of, giving her a tired and messy look.

If you dress up carefully, you'll be even more eye-catching on top of being pretty.

"First of all, thank you for your compliment." The sage took out the few pieces of clothing that had already been stuffed into his suitcase, then casually tossed them aside, deciding he didn't want them and would just buy new ones.

The world of Terra is about to be destroyed, why keep the money in your hands?

Let the flowers bloom as much as they want!
Finally, the sage of Terra simply kicked the suitcase aside, abandoning it, changed his clothes, and prepared to leave.

"And what I really mean is, isn't it a bit inappropriate for an old man to be dating a young girl?" The sage gave him a strange look.

Through the legacy of the sages and their limited understanding of the tip of the iceberg of the mythical era, the sages knew that powerful beings could break the limits of lifespan, temporarily escaping the irreversible process of aging and extending their lives from the previous one.

Furthermore, as one's realm increases, the length of one's lifespan also increases. Some extremely powerful beings can even endure as long as civilization and coexist with the world, remaining immortal despite the vicissitudes of time.

The legend of Beyana, the goddess of light and justice, in ancient Terra contains a similar description... Their life force is so strong that their bodies emit golden light; they do not age, do not get sick, do not get injured, and are transcendent of everything in the world.

Then Ye Lin repeatedly displayed terrifying power beyond her comprehension, which should be considered top-tier strength even in the mythical era. Therefore, the sage reasonably speculated that Ye Lin was actually an old monster whose true age was unfathomable.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the immense power he possesses.

Therefore, I am the tender grass, and you are the old ox.

The sage said that the thought of Ye Lin possibly being an old man of unknown age made her lose interest in sex. Ye Lin immediately retorted, "Then what if it's a man who looks old and frail but is actually a young and handsome man?"

"Can't I find a man who looks young and is actually young too?" The sage shook his head. "Your thinking is a bit extreme."

"Besides, I was just joking about finding a man. I'm not the kind of person who would abandon basic morality and chastity just because I feel like I'm about to die, and then indulge myself in any way. I'm a human being, not a beast."

The sage walked to a wall, pressed a switch on the wall, and the wall split open to reveal an open elevator.

Her private aircraft was on the rooftop, and the next step was to leave Terra City in the aircraft.

As they boarded the elevator, before the doors closed, the sage waved to Ye Lin and smiled brightly:
"Goodbye. Although I don't know what a powerful person like you is here to do in this anchor world, I can sense that you have no ill intentions. You must be shouldering some kind of important responsibility that I don't know about. I can't help you much, so I can only wish you all the best."

"Also, if we have the chance to meet again in the future, I might consider you, you old monster."

The elevator doors slowly closed, and an upward symbol appeared.

The reason she said that last sentence was purely to add a touch of idealism, just like how some people, when faced with difficulties, might silently vow in their hearts that if things go smoothly, they will do this or that—it's like deliberately setting a flag.

The last sentence was the sage's subconscious expression of his longing for "life".

Two minutes later, the sage kicked Ye Lin out of his private aircraft, saying it was an act of thuggery.

The aircraft transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from Terra City. The sage was exceptionally carefree, leaving not a single word for his other friends.

She didn't know what to say. Should she tell her friends, "The world is going to end, Terra is going to explode, let's party hard!"

Screw your job, screw all your grudges and emotions, just get the hell out of here.

In her final days, Terra, the "Awakened," endured the loneliness of keeping her secret and a sense of desolation at the prospect of the future.

As the aircraft soared over the bustling city of Terra, the sage looked down at the buildings below, sighed softly, and murmured:
“I didn’t expect it would end up like this.”

With the key and password given to him by the sage, Ye Lin found Hyde's house in Terra.

…………

On the other side, Azera firmly refused Morley's offer to have her blood drawn for testing. Her blood was indeed extraordinary and extremely dangerous; once the true blood of a transcendent flowed out, it could easily ignite a raging inferno in Terra City.

Then, she also keenly noticed some problems.

Uncle Morley seemed to know a lot about blood. When he was urging me to get checked, he often mentioned knowledge about blood, saying that the blood of the Terrans contained something incredible, and then he brought up the "lost decade" of Azera, which might have come from the mysterious power that went out of control in the blood.

Azera turned and left Morley's laboratory. She was now quite certain that given the right opportunity and the right super energy, the other party would definitely follow the same path as Hilder.

Even without Herder and Morley, there might have been another mad scientist...

As Morley watched Azera walk by on the monitor, a complex and hesitant emotion flickered in his small, focused, and incredibly sharp eyes.

In a sense, he watched Azera grow up. Although they were not related by blood, he genuinely liked this lively, energetic, charismatic, and intelligent younger sister and truly regarded Azera as his own blood niece.

In the past, whenever he and Hayd had arguments and conflicts over some issues, and their relationship became very tense, little Azera would always step in to mediate the cold atmosphere between them. She was like a ray of sunshine shining into a serious laboratory.

Morley believed that as long as Azera was willing to learn from him, he would pass on all his knowledge and expertise to her, making her a great scientist second only to himself.

Little Azera holds a very important place in his heart.

In a timeline without the artificial god project, and lacking superpowers, Morley's behavior is not as extreme and volatile as in history, and he still cherishes the last vestiges of warm family affection.

Mo spoke to himself in a low voice: "I won't hurt you, Azera, but for the sake of research, for greater science, for Terra's future, you, in your special circumstances, should understand me and make some sacrifices."

He began to think of ways to cause some normal accidents in Azera's life so that he could successfully obtain her blood for research.

…………

After Azera left, she found a quiet place where no one would bother her, and then used her computer to hack into Morley's laboratory.

She now possesses abilities far exceeding Morley's, and is not much inferior to Hyde in the past.

After all, she was the one who created the Genesis spaceship, and the "Coffin of Memories" engine contained most of the scientific data of Terra. Later, she escaped Terra and wandered aimlessly in the universe. She had already thoroughly mastered Terra's science and technology.

The places where ancient Terran technology is preserved are the Genesis spaceship and the ancient library. The two recorded data in different ways: the former is technology, and the latter is fifty million books.

After easily cracking all of Morley's encryption programs, Azera smiled and said:
"Indeed, sometimes paper books are more confidential, and the establishment of ancient libraries is very valuable."

As she delved deeper into the information, her expression gradually turned serious, because she had found relevant content.

Uncle Morley indeed had a deep understanding of blood. Through extensive research, he discovered that the blood of the Terrans contained a unique factor that seemed to have no effect on the human body, as if it were completely useless and would not have any impact on human growth.

However, through his research, he discovered that it wasn't that simple; there seemed to be a mysterious power hidden within the factors, and those factors seemed to be sealed away.

Furthermore, he abused his authority to obtain a large number of blood samples and data from the hospital.

In the end, Morley concluded that the amount of the mysterious factor in the blood of Terrans seemed to vary, with some people naturally having more and some having less, and those with more undoubtedly having greater research value.

Azera opened a folder containing the list of humans with the highest levels of mystical factors. When the technology advances to the appropriate point, this group of humans can be gathered for experimental research.

“Vichy, Rem?” Azera was taken aback, recognizing two familiar faces.
