Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 206 Boss Bai is back!
"Making Mark an ecological chimera was not my decision, but the decision of the ecosystem. We were just taking advantage of the situation and leveraging its strengths."

Bai Yuekui walked over and sat down next to Master Lai.

Master Lai nodded: "That's how it is."

If the fate of Earth's civilization is to oscillate between birth and destruction, then Mark's fate is to become an ecological chimera.

These are all determined by the ecosystem.

Bai Yuekui slowly began to speak: "Previous clones had no consciousness, but shortly after the cranioblast returned to the ecosystem, his life essence appeared in Mark's body, making Mark the first clone in history to have independent consciousness. Subsequently, the Kroto system issued an order for the Lighthouse to take him away."

"It is obvious that the ecology needs Mark to complete the mission that the skull was left unfinished."

"But Mark, as an ordinary human, can't do anything, so the ecosystem will definitely transform him into an ecological chimera at some point, giving him the triple helix gene, just like cranial blasts."

"The Kroto system has the ability to predict the future. We can guess that before giving Mark the scalp-derived source matter, the ecosystem had already foreseen the possibility of Mark dedicating himself to Him."

Bai Yuekui took a deep breath.

Mark's future has two possibilities.

If she doesn't intervene, Mark becomes a puppet of the ecosystem; if she intervenes, it just happens to become part of the ecosystem's plan, helping the ecosystem turn Mark into a puppet.

This is a conspiracy.

A trap, an invitation with ill intentions.

And she represents humanity in accepting the challenge.

"On the chessboard of Earth, the ecological steps have already been taken; we cannot do nothing," Bai Yuekui said calmly.

Admittedly, humanity still cannot know exactly how many civilizations on Earth have been destroyed by ecological degradation.

Behind the ecosystem stands a group of high-dimensional beings who are like gods, and can be described as omniscient and omnipotent. However, after Mana's original body was injured and paralyzed, the ecosystem was left with only a part of its omniscience.

The king-level Devouring Beasts, who were once the main enforcers of ecological will, were wiped out by human high-tech weapons in the early stages of the disaster, and most of the remaining ones are now dormant.

As the pillars of the ecosystem, the Transformation-level Devouring Beasts, due to their initial paralysis, have developed a strong sense of self and now disobey the ecosystem's commands, each having its own way of escaping control.

The ecosystem can now only manipulate some pan-evolving Devourer Beasts and metamorphic Devourer Beasts.

Throughout Earth's billions of years of history, civilizations have cycled countless times, and this time it may be the most ecologically vulnerable yet.

In contrast, although humanity is on the verge of extinction, its existence and the fragility of its ecosystem have given it a local advantage, which has been further amplified by the opening of parallel universes.

"Alright, the plan remains largely the same." Master Lai paused for a moment. "Then why did you come here?"

His gaze fell on what was behind Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui reached behind his waist and took out a metal box the size of a fist.

She placed the box on the table: "This is an unexpected find. Take it and study it to see if you can figure anything out. If not, please store the life essence inside."

Master Lai nodded.

He opened the metal box, and on the red silk satin lay a multifaceted cube as dazzling as crystal.

Even without bright lights on the surface, the edges of this polyhedron still gleam, captivating the eye.

This is the spirit seed of a king-level Devouring Beast.

After Bai Yuekui defeated the King-level Devouring Beast that crawled out from the underground of Jiuchuan City, he had Bai Jingyu extract the Spirit Seed from its body.

King-level Devouring Beasts possess intelligence comparable to humans. Unlike ordinary Devouring Beasts that pay rent periodically, they continuously store life essence until they have enough to complete the evolution into a Transformation-level Devouring Beast.

If it is not completed in a single cycle of civilization, these stored life essences will sustain them in slumber until the next cycle of civilization.

In other words, the Spirit Seed that Bai Yuekui obtained may contain the life essence of the previous civilization.

If we can communicate with them, we might be able to obtain valuable information.

Although the hope is slim, every slight advantage is crucial when facing the formidable enemy of the ecosystem.

"Understood." Master Lai picked up the Spirit Seed.

He gently parted his lips. An invisible attraction enveloped the Spirit Seed, from which a bright, uneven blue mist emanated.

These luminous mists are the life essence stored in the Spirit Seeds.

They were so numerous that they spread throughout the entire space station in just a few seconds. From outer space, even the meteorite shell of the space station emitted a faint blue light.

With each breath Master Lai took, the blue light mist formed a huge vortex and quickly entered Master Lai's body.

At the same time, Master Lai's entire body began to glow slightly.

The tiny stars lurking beneath his skin began to spin spontaneously and burst forth with a profound radiance.

The phenomenon lasted for half a minute.

"belch--"

Master Lai let out a burp, and the air filled with the pungent smell of alcohol.

He said energetically, "I'll browse around a bit later and see if there's any useful information. If I find anything, I'll let you know."

He hadn't taken any life essence for a long time, so this replenishment was extremely valuable.

"Thank you for your trouble." Bai Yuekui stood up. "I'll head back to the village now."

Master Lai smiled and said, "Go ahead, girl. The primordial body is very active lately, so I won't go back to the village to avoid any accidents."

"Mm." Bai Yuekui nodded.

It is obvious that Mana's original body at least sensed the anomalies that were completely beyond her control due to the parallel universe, such as the fiercely armed robots that appeared out of nowhere.

Ecology never remains silent.

The last change in the magnetic field signal was just the beginning; the real storm is still brewing.

The spacecraft departed the space station.

Bai Yuekui input the coordinates, and the intelligent terminal on the aircraft automatically planned the flight route, entering the atmosphere directly above Longgu Village and accelerating straight down.

Accelerating the load pressed Bai Yuekui into the seat.

Bai Yuekui remained calm, with only his full head of silver hair flowing backward like a piece of flowing white silk.

I wonder how the village is doing now.

But with ASH's digital clone looking after me, nothing should go wrong.

A few days ago, my father sent a unit of the Hisakawa Defense Corps to the lighthouse to pick up Yuetian and take her home. I don't know if Yuetian is at the lighthouse or in the village right now.

If it were in a village...
Bai Yuekui pursed his lips, a complex expression appearing between his brows and eyes.

Soon, the spacecraft began to decelerate, and the seatbelts tightened, leaving several wide marks on Bai Yuekui's body.

Breaking through the white clouds, the lush green grassland comes into view.

call--

A strong wind swept across the ground, and the grass lay flat against the earth.

The spacecraft adjusted its attitude, changing from a dive to a hover, and gradually decreased its altitude.

The village received the message and opened the top entrance.

The streamlined spacecraft landed directly into the mountainside, and the villagers waved enthusiastically at it.

"Boss Bai is back!"

"Where did they get this big plane from?"

"Have Maido and the others returned?"
