The Last Sentinel

In the northern border region of the Great Xia Dynasty, the cold wind howls.

The Great Wall, beacon towers.

Snowflakes drifted down onto the ancient city wall bricks. A burly, white-haired old man, his old hands resting on a beacon tower, gazed at the starry sky above, lost in thought.

"master!"

Below the beacon tower, Zhao Donglai walked up and said, "Ye Feng has successfully condensed the Gu, named [Red Wilderness]. It summons twelve physical divine beasts to establish order. His current realm is stable, and the overall situation is set."

The Great Wall Watcher gently brushed the snowflakes off the city bricks. "Are you unhappy?"

Zhao Donglai said, "Master, with Ye Feng's strength, even if you didn't intervene, he could still refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Gu - Heavenly Jade Palace! That way, we wouldn't offend the eight fundamental wills, nor would we let them discover the location of our origin."

The Great Wall Watcher, his white beard fluttering, said, "Little Zhao, you've always had a problem."

Zhao Donglai said, "Master, please enlighten me."

The Great Wall Watcher said, "You forget righteousness for petty gains, and hesitate to risk your life for great matters. Do you think we can escape their surveillance by remaining hidden and concealing our true nature?"

The Great Wall watcher waved his sleeve, and the snowflakes before him gathered into a gently flowing white river. This white river churned again, transforming into a familiar fleeting image of the Milky Way.

"See that?" The Great Wall Watcher pointed to the white snowflake-shaped starry river overhead. "This galaxy is aging, and the Milky Way was the last galaxy to be born in this universe. This means our universe is heading towards its demise!"

"The universe is like a vast river system, and our Milky Way galaxy is just a small puddle within it."

"Now the entire universe is beginning to experience a decrease in flow and a shrinking of resources, with vast rivers breaking apart into countless ponds and drying up."

"The Milky Way is like a dried-up pond. The water in this pond is getting less and less. When the water dries up completely, carbon-based civilizations will eventually be exposed."

"Rather than waiting until the water completely dries up and exposes oneself, it's better to jump out while there's still some water and occupy the best ecological niche in this pond!"

Zhao Donglai looked up at the Milky Way galaxy above him, "What kind of niche is the best? Is it dominating the nine sequences? Becoming the overlord of the Milky Way's pond?"

"That depends on Ye Feng's choice," said the Great Wall Watcher.

The image of snow falling from the Milky Way overhead was blown by the wind and began to fade.

Zhao Donglai said, "Teacher, Jerry and his gang of traveling merchants are not to be trusted."

"I know," Great Wall Watcher said, pacing back and forth. "Although Terra and Saturn are said to be the twin stars of carbon-based civilizations in their eyes, our two civilizations are completely opposite. Saturn is the Dragon Emperor Dynasty in their eyes, with black hair and black eyes, and Easterners. Terra, on the other hand, is the imperial lineage with blond hair and golden eyes. Their bloodline is completely different from ours. Jerry and his people prefer the imperial lineage, so they would go crazy for Hughes, even saying that they helped Hughes get the position of Senate President."

"Jerry and his group have always been delusional about making Aurora a branch of Terra in its overseas star systems, and even going so far as to classify us as the lineage of Chagatai Kohan White Scar, the fifth genetic principality under the Terra Emperor."

"But Pangu denied this, claiming that he was a branch of the Primarch of Gene Five and that the Emperor might be a branch of us, which aroused extreme anger among Jerry and his group of traveling merchants."

"Therefore, Jerry has always been pursuing the path of exterminating the Chinese civilization, exterminating us, and enslaving us."

"They are never trustworthy."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai couldn't help but ask, "Since the teacher knows they are untrustworthy, why not expel them?"

"When Hughes was dying, he said that carbon-based civilizations are too lonely. We have killed far too many carbon-based intelligent life in the intense internal selection process that has lasted for 40,000 years. Now we are facing nine pure-blooded life ecological niches of heretics. In the face of an environment where the entire galaxy is full of heretics, if we continue to fight among ourselves and continue to eliminate each other, we will not have enough weapons."

Zhao Donglai blinked. "What the teacher means is, we don't have enough knives right now, so we'll keep them for now. Once we have enough knives, we'll wipe them all out, whether it's Terra or any other heretics!"

The Great Wall Watcher waved his hand. "Who can predict the future? Jerry is just a lucky traveling merchant who got lucky by sheer luck. He doesn't have any long-term vision. To determine whether they are friend or foe of Terra, we'll have to wait until we leave this drying-up little pond of the Milky Way and head to the vast cosmic river where Terra is, and find the Primarch who is in power among them."

Before Zhao Donglai could say anything more, Great Wall Watcher waved his hand, and Zhao Donglai nodded, saying, "This student will take his leave now."

The cold wind swept across the beacon towers, and the Great Wall watchmen stood with their hands behind their backs, silent for a long time.

The snow wind blew past, the long sleeves of the Great Wall Watchers fluttered, and a snowy curtain appeared in the sky, on which images of news figures kept scrolling.

[Xu Zu News]: According to our latest report, unusual activity has occurred in the original civilizations of the nine major sequences of royal families. The specific reasons are unknown. According to a well-informed source who wishes to remain anonymous, this assassination attempt against the original life forms of the nine major sequences is a standard act of interstellar terrorism. The perpetrators may be a test of the strength of our main sequence life groups in the Milky Way by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization. It is necessary to strengthen patrol and defense measures within the Milky Way, especially the defense of the three large interconnected stargates of Xuanxiao, Gamma, and Alpha, to prevent a sudden attack on the Milky Way by the Sabit Star Alliance!

[Weiyang Covenant - Today's Entertainment]: According to our station, the much-discussed farce surrounding the second-sequence silicon-based royal family reached a new climax yesterday. Through the contact of Sentinel Ye Feng, no fewer than eighty members of the silicon-based civilization's royal family have come forward to state that their departure from the silicon-based royal family's origin planet was forced. They reluctantly signed a pledge to relinquish their thrones afterward, and according to the laws of the Weiyang Court, such a pledge has no legal effect. These eighty-plus princes possess the combined authority to re-elect the silicon-based king!

[Weiyang Entertainment - Today's Special Report]: Our reporter had the privilege of interviewing the main planner of this [Silicon-based Royal Storm], Sentinel Ye Feng, a pure-blooded royal descendant of carbon-based life and a prodigy of Aurora. Mr. Sentinel, why are you covering your face?

The shadowy sentry said: It's simple. I have an enemy who wants to kill me all the time, so I have to be careful.

The reporter asked: "Your enemy? Who is he? Would you mind revealing some details?"

The shadowy sentinel said: "It's alright to say it. He is the number one on the Black Tower's Dark Horse List, the Dark Horse King Charlie Darwin!"

The reporter asked: "Mr. Darwin? Good heavens, I heard that Mr. Darwin is also a pure-blooded royal of carbon-based life. You and he are from the same civilization and the same race. You should be close friends and brothers. How could you have become enemies?"

The shadowy sentinel said, "That's a different matter. The money you gave me is only enough to gather information about the 'Silicon-Based Royal Storm'."

Reporter: Excuse me, I overstepped my bounds. Please continue with today's question. Why did you help a wandering prince to trace the throne? I have checked your past, and you and your carbon-based civilization and silicon-based civilization do not have much interaction, right?

The shadowy sentinel said: Of course, we have no connection, but as a pure-blooded carbon-based royal with 100% bloodline, I can feel the same class feelings as a silicon-based prince with 100% bloodline. This feeling allows us to stand closely together, so I helped him.

Reporter: I heard that the silicon-based royal family is very dissatisfied with you, and that the queen of the silicon-based royal family has even found a royal expert with 100% carbon-based blood to deal with you. What is your opinion on this?

The shadowy sentinel said: "I'm sorry, I'm not quite clear about the so-called expert of my kind that this Silicon-based Queen has introduced. I refuse to answer this question!"

Reporter: There is another question. The Erlis Military-Industrial Consortium has filed a complaint with the Weiyang Court, accusing you of destroying the Hydra caravan, which belongs to their Invincible Fleet. What is your opinion on this?

Shadow Sentinel: You can consult my lawyer about this. I will not comment on this case until the litigation is completed. Okay, that's all. Bodyguards, clear the area!
