Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 209 Taking Over Aldebaran (Second Update)
Li Xiu knew that Xie Shen was trying to test him.

So when he saw the black mist flying over, he went straight towards it without dodging, and was calmly wrapped in the black mist.

After a few seconds.

Li Xiu, who was in the black fog, said to Xie Shen: "Is everything all right now?"

Xie Shen used the secret method of voice transmission to ask Li Xiu: "I am very curious."

"Why are all the others transformed into Ascendants without exception after their eyes turned blood red?"

"But you're fine?"

"That's because I don't have the trait of 'emotion'." Li Xiu explained expressionlessly: "I can infer my own feelings."

"The reason why the Ascension Formation can transform humans into Ascendants is mainly because this formation can affect people's emotions."

"Humans who have been transformed into Ascendants will develop a dual dependence on the black mist produced by human emotions, both psychologically and physiologically."

“It’s like a severe drug addiction.”

he continued.

"Because the black mist comes from an indescribable creature."

“So, the Ascendants will have an extreme worship for the indescribable.”

Is black mist addictive?
After hearing this, Xie Shen looked thoughtful.

——The unspeakable creatures feed on human emotions, so it is reasonable that the ascenders would become addicted to the black mist generated by emotions.

in the hall.

After making sure that Li Xiu's mind was not affected, Xie Shen waved his hand lightly and threw a storage bag in front of Li Xiu.

He explained: "This is the storage bag that flew out of the conference hall along with the aftermath of the explosion when you blew yourself up earlier."

"I just happened to notice it, so I put it away for you."

"Yeah." Li Xiu took the storage bag, nodded, and hung it around his waist.

He didn't say any more to Xie Shen, but turned to look at the group of managers who originally worked under Chou Yuan gathered in the hall.

Li Xiu said softly, "While Chou Yuan is not around, who has the final say among you?"

"I have the final say."

among the crowd.

A woman who looked to be in her early twenties and had an outstanding appearance walked out from the management team.

——Although this woman looks young, Xie Shen’s spiritual sense reveals that she is already fifty-six years old.

Seeing the woman respond, Li Xiu asked her, "Please give a brief self-introduction!"

"Ah."

The other party said respectfully: "My name is Wen Ya, and I am a natural person who has never been transformed. In the management of Aldebaran, I should be considered the second in command!"

Li Xiu nodded upon hearing this.

He then ordered: "Do you know the specific situation of each force in the Aldebaran star system?"

In response to Li Xiu's questions, Wen Ya reported in an orderly manner.

"In addition to the 2200 billion people registered in the Aldebaran star system."

"There are also illegal immigrants who came to Aldebaran through smuggling, through subspace channels, through teleportation arrays, etc."

"All these people together have nearly 300 billion."

"300 billion?" This was the first time Xie Shen had heard of this news. He subconsciously asked, "So where did all these illegal households come from?"

Wen Ya explained: "I think the three adults should have heard of it."

"My Aldebaran system does not accept refugees from near the center of the Milky Way."

"But there are policies from above and countermeasures from below."

"Because those people came from the center of the Milky Way, the pollution level on their planet is higher."

"So relatively speaking, their level of civilization development is slightly better than other places."

——The higher the degree of pollution on a planet, the more advanced its civilization will be.

This sentence is actually very easy to understand:
After all, the indescribable creatures bring not only pollution, but also endless extraordinary power.

And extraordinary powers can help human development.

Wen Ya continued.

"So with the help of various high-tech equipment or the teleportation arrays of the cultivation side, those people from the center of the Milky Way easily sneaked into our Aldebaran star system."

"It is precisely because of this that the forces in Aldebaran are a mixed bag."

"Almost every month, conflicts of varying sizes and for various reasons break out between different forces."

"And this is precisely the main reason why the people in the Aldebaran star system cannot unite and seek common development."

Wen Ya revealed the real intention of the administrator Chou Yuan in holding this meeting.

"That's why Lord Chou Yuan wanted to hold a meeting in the Plit district of Aldebaran C to call on everyone to put aside their disputes."

"I never thought about it."

"The agents suddenly intervened, not only disrupting the meeting, but also kidnapping Lord Chou Yuan."

In the conference hall.

After listening to Wen Ya's introduction, Li Xiu said indifferently: "Okay"

"I have a general understanding of the situation of Aldebaran."

"So."

"Masters of all forces in the hall, listen up."

"From now on, all the forces you control must obey the command and dispatch of the Ark spacecraft."

"As for the contradictions and conflicts between you, as well as the division of interests, I will not forcibly intervene."

"As long as you obey my orders, you can do whatever you want with the rest."

"And then there are you, the management within the Aldebaran star system." Li Xiu glanced at Wen Ya and the others.

He continued: "Although I am in control of the situation now, all management personnel do not need to make any changes."

"Whatever you did before, you should continue to do the same thing in the future."

"Yes!" After receiving Li Xiu's order, all the managers present responded in unison.

Then, Li Xiu looked at the Taoist master who was mixed in the crowd and seemed a little flustered.

He said to him: "Shi Yinglong, although you are the one who led the agent to the attack of the Five Elements of Bei Su, but considering that you are just a fuse."

"Even without you, the agents will eventually reach out to the Aldebaran star system."

"Besides, you have some friendship with us. Even when the Ascension Array was activated just now, you said that we could leave at will."

“Therefore, I will not take your life, nor will I imprison you.”

"Go on your own!"

Seeing that Li Xiu had no intention of causing trouble for him, the Taoist master immediately showed a look of relief on his face.

He turned around and was about to leave the conference hall.

But before the Taoist master could take a step, he suddenly sensed something from Li Xiu's words.

He then asked, "Li Xiu, what did you mean when you said that I should leave on my own?"

Li Xiu took over the conversation and said, "Letting you go means that I want you to leave the Aldebaran star system."

"Shi Yinglong, you have been exiled."

"If you don't have a spaceship to travel, considering our old friendship, I can send you a planetary-class ship on behalf of Xie Shen and his men."

——A planetary starship has the same combat power as a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Compared to galaxy-class spacecraft like the Ark, planetary-class spacecraft are slower and can carry fewer people.

But if it is just to carry the Taoist master, it is more than enough.

Although Li Xiu's handling of the matter was not a bad result for the Taoist master who made the mistake.

But after meeting Xie Shen, who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, as well as Deng Bin and Yi Yuankui, how could the Taoist master, as a cultivator, be willing to leave?

He wanted to stay and break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage under the guidance of Xie Shen and others.

The Taoist master was anxious.

He bowed to Li Xiu and pleaded, "Fellow Daoist Li, please... Sir Li, I am also a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, so I can still be of some use."

"As long as you don't exile me, I will voluntarily join your army and work for you in exchange for my crimes."

"how?"

Li Xiu shook his head expressionlessly.

He seemed like an iron-faced judge, and spoke without any emotion: "Fellow Daoist Shi, I think you should understand."

"It was not me who exiled you, but the rules of the Aldebaran star system."

"After all, you committed a crime."

"So even if you tell the truth, you will still be punished."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist master became even more anxious.

He placed his hand on the storage bag at his waist, seemingly searching for something in it.

After a few seconds.

He took out a palm-sized bone from the bag, and as if offering a treasure, he used his magic power to pass the bone to Xie Shen.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist," the Daoist master explained, "This bone is a derivative of the 'bone' of an indescribable creature."

"Just keep sacrificing lives to these bones."

"Then when the number of sacrifices reaches a certain level, the indescribable creature 'Bone' will descend."

Xie Shen stared at the white bones floating in front of him, his eyes filled with thought.

to be honest.

The bones given by the Taoist master are a source of pollution that can attract indescribable creatures.

Although the pollution source is not rare, considering that "Bone" is a completely new and indescribable creature, it has never been seen before.

Therefore, this pollution source still has some research value.

So Xie Shen came to help plead for mercy.

"Li Xiu."

"Didn't you and Chou Yuan come up with a plan called 'The Great Expedition' before?"

"Since this is an expedition, a large number of manpower will definitely be urgently needed in the future."

"So, considering that Fellow Daoist Shi took the initiative to hand over a list of pollution sources, why not let him stay and make amends for his crime?"

Since Xie Shen has spoken, and considering the Taoist master and the forces on Earth, there is indeed no essential conflict.

So Li Xiu nodded and said, "Yes."

After dealing with the matter of the Taoist master, Li Xiu had an in-depth exchange with the management present on the political affairs within the Aldebaran star system.

From night till the next morning.

Just when everything that needed to be said had been said and everyone was preparing to leave.

A 3D projection suddenly appeared out of thin air in the conference hall.

This 3D projection shows the appearance of Hardy who had just died not long ago.

Perhaps because of the loss he suffered in the Aldebaran star system, the projection-generated Hardy looked a little unhappy.

He said directly to Li Xiu, Xie Shen and others: "I will ask you one last time."

"Are you, the Aldebaran star system, really determined to be the enemy of us, the Agents?"
