Him and their stars.

Chapter 1927: The Fearless Romantic Spirit of the Lord
"Maybe a considerable part of it has already penetrated deep into the mantle." Yu Lian whispered.

Xiao Hui said, "You can remove the word 'maybe'. It is absorbing the energy of this planet, but it is a benign absorption. In other words, it has fallen into a deep sleep and has become a part of the energy cycle of this planet."

Yu Lian once again looked up and down at the appearance of the giant, hoping that his spiritual vision could penetrate deep into its outer wall and capture the more subtle energy flowing inside. However, even with his ability as a great saint and half-god, he could only capture a piece of nothingness.

At the end of the spiritual vision, there seemed to be nothing.

However, in his eyes, he could clearly see that the purple-blue outer wall was glowing with a cold metallic glow, and dark golden vein-like lines were embossed on the surface.

All in all, it is indeed a spectacular giant, a sacred piece, an oversized legacy that perfectly fits the stereotype of an Illuminati relic.

Having said that, Yu Lian couldn't help but glance at Xiao Hui again, and then uttered a matter-of-fact "Haha".

"Why are you looking at me? Is this the taste of the forbidden matters school? What does it have to do with me, a civilization-guiding AI?"

Yu Lian fiddled with the terminal and prepared to scrape some powder to upload to the Silence for analysis, but Xiao Hui had already answered directly: "Carbon-based silicon-based composite structure, with boron nitride coating."

"If it's this kind of material, it's not as hard as I imagined."

"So this is just the most superficial analysis. You need to figure out the essence of it yourself."

"Father calls it 'Nest Mother.'" Xia Li's bony wings twitched nervously, and the chitinous shell gently tapped the shell of the huge insect egg, making a rhythmic and crisp sound.

"Her name is Nest Mother?" Yu Lian asked.

Charlie nodded.

“Even though it looks like an egg?”

Charlie continued to nod.

"You mean, the mother body of the hive core?"

Charlie still nodded.

"Well, that's pretty concise. But I thought that since he's the Earl of Salwyn, maybe he could have a more domineering name."

Charlie had a disgusted expression on her face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "He did call it 'my love' in his diary. Tsk, why not just keep such a disgusting name in mind? Why did he have to leave it in the diary?"

She looked like she had been mentally polluted. Of course, a normal girl would be very shocked to know that her father was a pervert.

Yu Lian expressed deep sympathy. However, he still couldn't help but ask, "So, this is your mother?"

Xia Li stared at Yu Lian expressionlessly. Although she was shaking with anger, she only rolled up her eyes without any fluctuations, so her infectiousness was indeed very clear.

"Sorry, I spoke too much." He apologized quickly.

However, to be honest, the last Earl of Salwen, Brother Latis, was single, and when he died, the family naturally died out. At least, that's what the Imperial Heraldry recorded.

Even Xia Li does not exist in the official "history" of the empire, let alone her mother.

"She died very early. I don't have much impression of her." Charlie seemed very calm about this question.

So, the question is, who is the woman holding Shirley in the series of star charts left by Earl Salwen? How can we say that we have no impression of her?

"That's the nanny. In addition, she was one of the thirteen faces of the World-Ringing Serpent at the time, code-named 'Angel Doctor'. She is my father's collaborator and will also take care of my life." Xia Li was still very frank about Yu Lian's question.

Because he was too frank, Yu Lian didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

Xia Li spread her hands and said, "Objectively speaking, she did play the role of a mother for a long time. However, she is only my father's collaborator after all. I can't really call her a stepmother, right?"

She does have a point.

"Tsk, it seems normal for a lonely old bachelor and a crazy and dangerous scientist to fall in love with an ancient relic. Most of the traditional imperial nobles are mentally ill, and the older they are, the more so. They are indeed corrupt!"

She seemed to have forgotten that she was also a member of the imperial aristocracy in theory, and her remarks were full of dazzling and progressive ideas, so progressive that even Yu Lian could not help but be amazed.

Then, Xia Li told Yu Lian quite solemnly: "Father discovered this planet in the year 666 of the Common Era."

It sounds like a good year, Yu Lian thought. However, there are less than ten years left before Emperor Ileser ascends the throne.

"He said that after very detailed exploration and perception, he determined that the Enlightened One's legacy must be buried deep within this planet. It took a lot of effort before he finally found another wonderful world connected by caves beneath the surface. Then, after another difficult journey, he finally found the location of the relics."

"It sounds really difficult." Yu Lian said with emotion: "If the Alliance knew about this, it would be enough to make seven or eight "The Heist" movies to provide material for the third generation of Professor Jones." "One of the collaborators in that expedition was a member of the Alliance's Jones family. Is that the prototype of "The Heist"?"

"Of course, after they found the ruins, they divided the profits unevenly, and Professor John Shan of that generation was beaten to death by my father."

Yu Lian didn't feel surprised at all. He just hoped that Ina would not know about this.

Sure enough, in essence, neither the professor nor the earl is a good person!
Yu Lian stepped on the squirming carpet of flesh under his feet, and the mycelium-like organic matter immediately secreted fluorescent mucus, outlining a blue-green path on the soles of his boots. Life force began to flow.

At this moment, this space was also filled with a low-frequency vibration like a heartbeat. Those dark golden "blood vessels" were transmitting some kind of energy with a strange rhythm. As a result, the air suddenly filled with a sweet smell mixed with rust and honey.

It’s sweet but not cloying, fishy but not smelly, and just makes people feel happy.

However, after savoring it carefully, I felt that the smell had disappeared without a trace. This is indeed puzzling.

Yu Lian was now certain that although the fungal mats here had similar physiological structures and power cycles to those outside, they should belong to different cycles and even to different rulers.

If a new ecological cycle is established in the huge underground space outside, and the Xiali fungus blanket that is coexisting and thriving with the tundra is full of vitality and all things are competing to flourish, then this is a kind of natural harmony.

So, this is what the Zerg should look like?
How did it turn into a natural disaster like a cosmic plague?
Xiao Hui said, "Although I find it difficult to understand the taste of the Forbidden Matters School, in essence, the research results we can leave to this universe should promote the development and evolution of civilization. We never expected that you unworthy descendants would lie in the cradle and sleep without learning to walk."

Yes, it's really hopeless. Yu Lian said he absolutely agreed.

"But we didn't expect that you set the cradle on fire and almost burned yourselves," Xiao Hui said again.

I see. The Swarm was supposed to be good, but it was ruined by the evil snake, right?

This number one terrorist organization is indeed extremely evil!

Xia Li continued, "Although it is dormant, it contains mysterious power. Through studying it, my father felt that he had achieved an evolution in the level of life, and therefore he finally broke through the sixth ring. He always thought that his talent was limited and he would be trapped in this realm for the rest of his life. However, he also said in his diary that this was just the most superficial manifestation of the 'Nest Mother'."

Indeed, compared to representing the ultimate mystery of a race, improving one's physical fitness and allowing one's psychic power to break through the limits are really just the most minor manifestations of power.

Charlie pointed to the ceiling again: "Its overflowing power condensed into materialized artifacts. They are the most primitive cells, the most primitive embryos, and the most primitive leadership network."

Yu Lian looked up and saw the pink fungus carpet hanging upside down on the dome, attached to the bumps and depressions of the rock, naturally forming grooves. The energy flow rushed like a river, flowing to the six hanging oval protrusions.

This "nest mother" has been quietly dormant here for who knows how many billions of years, and has only produced these few fruits.

However, the ovoid protrusions had all cracked, and the things that had been nurtured inside had disappeared. Needless to say, they were naturally taken away by Earl Salwen.

"Those things are the Hive Heart, or the Leviathan Heart. Right?"

The vibrant symbiotic environment in the cave outside, the huge mother nest hovering in the orbit of the planet, and the lords and their troops wandering around the universe, all originated from these "hive cores".

Xia Li nodded: "You know a lot. Is this also information from Princess Rainbow Rose and the Alliance?"

Yu Lian smiled and shrugged: "I'm just curious, why is it called 'Leviathan'? Where do so many Leviathans come from?"

"My father gave me this name. He probably thought that Leviathan was the freest creature in the universe."

Suddenly it became philosophical, but it still sounds reasonable.

At this point, Charlie was too lazy to think about the details. She continued, "When my father knew that his end was near, he integrated one of the Nest Hearts into my body. This was the only way for me to survive at the time. I was seriously injured and fell into a cocooned sleep, so he entrusted me to his snake companions. He hid the other five in various places in the universe, leaving only some of the most trivial clues. If I just want to live a peaceful life, a Nest Heart can give me enough power to protect myself and almost eternal life."

Yu Lian said: "But your will for revenge is very strong. So you avoided the snake's pursuit while searching for clues, gaining strength and growth, until you found this place."

"It was a tough journey, but I did it," Charlie said proudly.

"What an amazing girl. Her journey is even more legendary than yours." Xiao Hui said to Yu Lian.

Regardless, this cosmic father-daughter game is only one step away from a happy ending. It is truly cause for celebration!
However, Xia Li immediately revealed a troubled expression: "However, I always feel that every time the inheritance is opened, it seems to be a little lacking. This should just be an illusion, right?"

Yu Lian twitched his eyebrows and began to look up at the sky.

Fortunately, since it was already the eve of the happy ending, Xia Li didn't mind the details. She pointed at the magnificent purple-gold "insect egg" in front of her and shouted loudly: "My next step is to open it! Lead my tribe! Kick the emperor's ass! Destroy the Galactic Empire!"

Her voice and tone were not villainous at all, but rather passionate and upbeat.

If there weren't two strange bone wings swaying behind it, Yu Lian would be willing to call it a fearless revolutionary romantic spirit.
