The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

With the help of the natural terrain and harassment, the Ash Kingdom was thoroughly defeated and its arrogant arrogance was extinguished within seven days of its incursion into the Floating Island Mountains.

However, in the chaos of the battle, Jack's wife was unfortunately riddled with bullets along with her unborn child.

When the devastating news arrived, Jack's eyes turned red, filled only with the hatred of revenge.

His feud with the Ash Kingdom thus became an irreconcilable deadlock, with no room for maneuver.

Chapter 117 Jianmu

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The existence of the Time-Space Gate completely changed the overall landscape of Ling Cage, Water World, and Wandering Time-Space.

Through continuous interaction and integration in trade, the originally loose relationship among the three parties has gradually become deeply intertwined, forming a more efficient and closely-knit alliance.

The 'Multi-Parliament' is the highest decision-making body, and major issues are decided by joint votes from parliamentary representatives from various worlds.

It also has three subordinate agencies:

The Privy Council: responsible for coordinating government affairs, public order, people's livelihood governance, and economic operations;

Wanxing Division: In charge of infrastructure development, economic and resource development;

Zhenxuan Bureau: Responsible for overall defense, guarding the spacetime passage, and defending against internal and external threats.

Of course, the real reason that enabled the three worlds to achieve such rapid and deep integration was the urgent pressure from the outside.

And humanity's shared vision of reaching for the stars!

After all, they have experienced natural disasters and man-made calamities firsthand, and being trapped on a planet means they will always be in a passive position.

The Ling Cage world possesses advanced interstellar technology, but suffers from a large population.

The population and infrastructure capabilities of Waterworld and The Wandering Earth can perfectly fill this gap.

Under this consensus, the joint construction of interstellar warships has become an inevitable step in the development of the multi-party alliance.

In the multi-party joint council, Hao Xiaoxi sat at the council table and calmly glanced at the representatives from all parties present.

He then slowly began to speak: "After years of ideological reassurance, the emotions of the people wandering the world have become more stable."

Thanks to the starry cold wave that Eva Ecosystem has been able to withstand and the technology provided by the Ling Cage world, people on Wandering Earth no longer need to crowd into underground cities.

Public opinion naturally shifted back to the coalition government.

Hao Xiaoxi smiled and took out a paper document, "A proposal to build a large interstellar dock and construct interstellar warships on the Wandering Earth..."

It has been unanimously approved on our end!

“Yes!” Lu Yue nodded. “The subsequent construction will be coordinated by Wanxing Division, with Zhenxuan Department coordinating the defense planning.”

Hao Xiaoxi nodded slightly and added, "In addition, there are some people here with progressive views."

Hopefully, we can go a step further and transform the Wandering Earth itself into an interstellar mothership.

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Qianwei, who was drinking tea and listening in, choked slightly at these words.

This is hardly progressive; it's more like radicalism.

"You can continue~" Lu Qianwei said, clasping his hands together in apology, indicating that they shouldn't mind.

Not long ago, after careful consideration, he transferred the title of chairman of the council to Lu Yue.

He himself took the title of Director of the Zhenxuan Bureau.

The reason he did this was simple: he just didn't want to stay in the rear.

Having gotten used to fighting and killing, having him stay in the rear to handle affairs is practically the same as locking him in a dark room.

They are all forms of mental torture.

"In the past two years, thanks to the soil modification of Planet Gina, the Water World has already expanded to include 100,000 square kilometers of land," Li Wenxuan happily reported to everyone.

Then he briefly talked about their population and agricultural product growth issues, which were basically nothing major.

After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, he went to Bai Jingyu's place.

What Bai Jingyu was talking about was the matter of Australia clearing all the Devouring Beasts and Mana ecosystems three days ago.

This is also thanks to the existence of the portal, which allows the armies of the twin cities of Starlight and Moonlight to enter the Australian continent at zero distance.

At the same time, the Australian continent's relative safety compared to other continents has attracted mercenaries to flock there to pan for gold, hunt, and plant the Tree of Souls.

All the new tree species that Eva evolved have the ability to devour harmful viruses and spores.

The vortex on the Australian continent had not yet taken shape and was unable to withstand the invasion of the Pandora ecosystem. Furthermore, the Devouring Beasts were squeezed out by the army and mercenaries, so their extinction was to be expected.

"Combined with the plant beads provided by Eva, the Nirvana Institute has developed a toxin that causes the mantle vine to wither."

Bai Jingyu opened the holographic screen and displayed the images of the mantle vines that originally pierced the clouds withering and collapsing one by one.

Mantle vines have long been considered a major culprit in causing geological disasters.

Now that there is a solution, Dong Mingxi, Lu Qianwei, and other people from the Ling Cage world showed joy.

Without the mantle vine, the mana ecosystem is truly crippled.

The surprises don't stop there, in addition to the restoration of old-world technology.

The Source Experts also unexpectedly discovered a tree and fruit that evolved from the Pandora ecosystem, which possessed spiritual energy that could make those with superpowers stronger.

Dong Mingxi raised his hand and lightly tapped the virtual panel, and a clear holographic image was instantly projected onto the center of the council hall.

It was a tree with a trunk as white as jade, branches that stretched out like clouds, leaves that shimmered with a faint glow, and many round and translucent fruits hanging from its branches.

Unlike other Pandora plants, its leaves are green, and it exudes a faint blue aura, just like a mythical fairy tree.

"We named this tree the Spirit Origin Tree."

As Dong Mingxi looked at the image and unfolded the data, he explained, "After absorbing the spiritual energy that is wandering between heaven and earth, it will release pure spiritual energy outward."

Lu Qianwei's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Does this mean that we superhumans can cultivate and become stronger?"

“That’s right,” Dong Mingxi nodded, “We can indeed obtain more energy through breathing exercises.”

"As for whether it can be evolved through spiritual energy... we still need to rely on experimental data to support that."

“Okay,” Lu Qianwei shrugged, finally understanding the meaning of “still figuring it out.”

"The increased density of spiritual energy will bring about positive changes to those with superpowers, which is a good thing," Lu Yue said, turning to stare at her idle older brother.

"In that case, Director Lu, I'll leave the communication with 'Jianmu' to you."

Ask Him if He could evolve ecological plants similar to the Spirit Tree in the basin?

Jianmu refers to the ancestral tree of the soul that is rooted in the center of Starlight City.

The ancestral tree had already begun to develop self-awareness when it left Pandora and lost contact with Eva.

Jianmu was also named for Him at that time.

Because it is a 'server', it did not fully inherit the tens of millions of years of ecological evolution knowledge from Eva, the 'main server'.

Therefore, unlike the Jingxu region, it did not give rise to the typical plants found in the Pandora ecosystem.

Instead, it is replicated based on the template of native Earth vegetation, nurtured by many.

Over the past two years, the basin has been transformed into a vibrant green landscape.

It is not difficult to make Jianmu unilaterally evolve into a plant with similar characteristics to Lingyuan Tree.

Lu Qianwei readily agreed, and after Lu Yue briefly explained the construction and development of Starlight and Moonlight City, her smile faded.

He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Regarding the situation in the Iron-Blooded World, you must have all heard some rumors."

"Just recently, Dirk brought a fleet to Gina Star seeking help."

Chapter 118 Amanji

More than three years ago, Dirk, who had mastered the essence of human martial arts, returned to his home planet with several pieces of advanced individual technology provided by Lu Qianwei.

Ironblood's ridiculous optical stealth is completely exposed in front of a simple helmet with added thermal sensors.

The father-son duel lasted only a few moves. Dirk feigned blindness, looking around, and then successfully killed his father, avenging his brother.

For the next three years, Dirk was either being hunted by the clan or on the verge of being hunted.

However, after a series of bloody battles, the ideology of respecting the strong still allowed him to gather a large number of capable subordinates.

In addition, with the red ideology taught to him by Lu Qianwei, the weak who were originally abandoned and oppressed like him gathered under his command.

This place is not only home to the Ironbloods, but also to many alien races that have been captured by the Ironbloods and used as prey or slaves.

Watered by blood and sharp blades, Dirk's revolutionary army's belief in overthrowing the corrupt system grew ever stronger.

Those races that are weak and in order to survive tend to be more intelligent and resourceful.

Putting aside the fighting and killing, the think tank within the 'Dek Revolutionary Army' actually used this advantage to make them grow stronger and stronger on Yetga Star.

They even seemed poised to completely conquer the planet.

Faced with this situation, and with his position as clan leader still not secure, the new clan leader of the Yetgar clan had no choice but to humiliatingly seek help from other clans.

The established Ironblood clans made a powerful entry into the fray, and with their overwhelming population and superior technology, the Revolutionary Army's territory ultimately changed hands.

Faced with the encirclement of other Ironblood clans, Dirk had no choice but to lead his remaining forces in a desperate breakout, escape the Ironblood Starfield, and finally arrive at Gina Star.

"Backward and barbaric," Bai Jingyu commented after listening to the entire process.

He simply couldn't imagine that an interstellar civilization that controlled a vast star field would resort to a method of encirclement and suppression that relied primarily on melee combat with cold weapons and secondarily on firearms when faced with internal turmoil.

It was him! We should have used a few hydrogen bombs to kill him!

How could we possibly give the enemy a chance to escape the planet?

"There must be some reason why Ironblood has been able to establish itself in the universe to this day through this hunting culture; there must be some tricks to it," Li Wenxuan said cautiously.

Looking at the footage of the Dek Revolutionary Army stationed in the eastern part of Gina Star, Dong Mingxi surveyed the group and asked, "Should we take in this alien revolutionary army?"

"Of course we need it!" Before anyone else could think it over, Lu Qianwei was the first to raise his hand to vote.

"The revolutionary army is troublesome, but don't forget the knowledge they bring."

As Lu Qianwei spoke, he zoomed in on one of the campsite photos.
