Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

"Don't be angry," Jing Yuan advised, then said, "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that the workshop and tools you're using now are for Shangmin's exclusive use. If they get leaked, it won't be good for either of us."

"I see."

Jing Yuan smiled slightly, but his heart was filled with complex emotions.

4277 is a kind girl, and Jingyuan doesn't want to see a bad ending caused by her entanglement with 4068.

"Let's break up as many pairs as we can!"

After leaving the workshop, Jingyuan returned to his residence to rest.

The next day.

Jingyuan took a bath and changed his clothes, then proceeded to the Dawn Hall as instructed.

Inside the Morning Light Hall, bathed in warm light, the entire hall exudes a magnificent and resplendent feel.

Having lived on the lighthouse for so many years, Jingyuan had only ever seen the doors to the Dawn Hall before; this was the first time he had ever stepped inside.

"Why is this place decorated like a private club?" Jing Yuan muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" the jury officer next door asked sternly.

"nothing!"

Led by a priest, Jingyuan changed into a gray robe without a shirt and put on a gold mask.

As they entered the gate, two priests stood guard at the entrance. Judging from their posture, Jingyuan was afraid they would shout, "Welcome! One male guest only!"

Jing Yuan shook his head, thinking to himself, "What am I thinking! The Hall of Dawn is a sacred place that bears the heavy responsibility of the human race's inheritance. How can it be compared to that kind of place!"

As Jingyuan walked down the golden corridor, strange thoughts began to wander into his mind.

He recalled the scene in "Ling Cage" where Mark stormed the Dawn Hall, beating up more than a dozen priests along the way. But today, the corridor was deserted, except for a priest accompanying Jing Yuan.

At the end of the corridor, two more priests stood guard at the main door.

Go further in, and you'll reach the center of the entire hall.

The entire hall was decorated with a strong sense of ceremony, like a sacred altar.

A large, golden bed was placed in the center of the hall.

Two priests stood on either side, a light veil separating them from the large bed.

Jing Yuan looked ahead and saw a blonde woman, also dressed in a gray robe and wearing a gold mask, walking towards the center of the hall.

The blonde woman wore a mask, obscuring her face, but she possessed an exceptional figure, standing at least 1.7 meters tall. The long, white leg that was faintly visible beneath her robe was enough to captivate anyone.

The two walked to the golden bed at the same time. The priest, speaking through the light gauze, said, "Since this is your first time carrying out a breeding mission, we will show you a tutorial video before the mission begins!"

Jingyuan was completely stunned. An instructional video?

This thing...

Then, a holographic image was projected into the hall, showing two animated characters giving a lesson.

These are genuine instructional videos, devoid of any emotion...

Jing Yuan had no interest in watching those instructional videos. He turned his head to look at the blonde woman next to him, who seemed to be learning very seriously.

The blonde woman's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the key movement.

"Could this be her first time visiting the Dawn Hall as well?" Jing Yuan wondered.

"Alright, the instructional video is finished, let's begin!" said the priest.

Jingyuan glanced at the priests and then asked, "Are you going to stay here and watch?"

"We need to make sure you complete the task."

"You're all watching to see how we complete this mission?"

Jingyuan and the priest argued.

The blonde woman looked surprised, as if she recognized the man in the golden mask in front of her.

“If you feel embarrassed, we can turn around. But you must complete the task, or you will be punished.”

"I know."

After speaking, the two priests turned around, and Jingyuan and the blonde woman went to the large golden bed.

If Jingyuan had previously only sought an excuse to annoy Charles and didn't actually intend to come to Dawn Hall, he had unwittingly put himself in a difficult position.

But now, with a vibrant and alluring woman right in front of him, Jingyuan's primal desires had long been aroused.

To say you have no ideas at this point would be too pretentious.

Those who can come to the Dawn Hall are all upper-class citizens. Jing Yuan doesn't know if the genes of the upper-class citizens have a greater advantage in surviving the apocalypse, but most of the upper-class citizens are handsome enough after undergoing genetic selection.

Jingyuan is 186 cm tall, with a strong build and handsome features, making him stand out even in Shangmin Middle School.

The blonde woman in front of me was over 170 centimeters tall and had a slender figure. Although I couldn't see her face, she must be quite pretty.

Jingyuan took the blonde woman's hand and said softly, "Let's begin!"

"it is good!"

The moment the blonde woman spoke, a sense of familiarity washed over me.

Jing Yuan's pupils dilated in shock. Could it be her?

Chapter 29 Charles's Demand

The lighthouse was a mixed community, with quite a few blonde women of marriageable age, so Jingyuan didn't initially connect the blonde woman in front of him with the one he knew.

But as soon as the other person opened their mouth, the feeling of familiarity came over me.

Jingyuan stroked the other person's palm. Judging from the way she dealt with the calluses on her palm, she must have a long-term habit of handling guns.

If they can carry guns, they must be either hunters or city defense personnel.

This narrows down the scope.

"What are you thinking about?" The blonde woman asked when she saw Jing Yuan staring blankly into space.

"nothing!"

Jingyuan leaned in and sniffed her neck. She smelled so good!

"I'm starting!"

"Ok!"

Jingyuan's hands trembled slightly, but his movements were very gentle.

As the mission officially began, the two gradually went from feeling uncomfortable to enjoying it.

……

After completing the mission, Jing Yuan changed back into his own clothes and left the Dawn Hall.

As he entered a state of deep meditation, breathing in the cold air outside, he suddenly found himself pondering profound questions about survival and the propagation of the species.

This approach may indeed ensure the continuation of a race when resources are limited, but is it really the right approach?

Jingyuan glanced back at the entrance to the Dawn Hall. It was decorated to look so sacred and grand, but unfortunately, it was still just a tool used by the higher-ups for transactions.

"Shangmin Jingyuan!" A priest suddenly appeared behind Jingyuan. "The head of the society requests your presence!"

Jingyuan smiled dismissively. As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding." Let's go see what Charles is up to!

Light and Shadow Church.

Charles sat in the high seat, looking down at Jingyuan.

"How was it? The trip to the Dawn Hall was quite enjoyable, wasn't it!"

"It's alright! Although it's not what I wanted, it'll do." Jing Yuan also had a forced smile on his face.

"Not what you wanted?" Charles laughed. "Jingyuan, what can escape my eyes on this lighthouse? Going to the Hall of Dawn with the person you love, isn't that what you all wanted?"

"The person you like?" Jing Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled, but continued with what he had said before, "I still prefer the Lightbringers around you."

Charles wasn't angry this time. Instead, he said, "Fine, I don't care who you like! Our deal is simple: I'll give you what you want, and you'll give me what you want. This time, consider it my way of showing you sincerity. Now, isn't it your turn to show your sincerity?"

Jing Yuan stepped forward and asked, "What does the leader need me to do?"

Charles smiled slightly, pleased with himself: "Tomorrow, you hunters will be going down to the surface again for another gathering mission. I need you to make Captain Mark stumble."

"Do you think I, a newcomer, can make Mark stumble?"

There are many methods. It depends on how you choose.

"for example?"

"For example, if the ground is overrun with Devouring Beasts, you just need to attract them and they will naturally do things for you."

"Attract the Devouring Beasts?" Jing Yuan laughed. "Do you think I wouldn't be in danger if I deliberately attracted them?"

"Don't you have the ability to kill Devouring Beasts? They're just Devouring Beasts. You can't beat them, but you can always outrun them!"

"Even if I can outrun them, what about the others?"

"In ground missions, people always have to sacrifice themselves. If we don't sacrifice more people, how can we make Mark suffer a major setback?"
