From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

But he didn't do that...

Even Wu Chenxi, who was standing to the side, couldn't refute it.

"Amur, help them untie these six little things, then take them to rest."

Sui Xing gave a word to Amur, who was chatting with Jiu Ge not far away, and then said to the six people, "When faced with an invasion, our Dragon Bone Village follows the principle of stopping war with war."

Even in the old world, if the enemy comes to your doorstep, you have to strike hard.

Your current situation is unique, putting us in a difficult position and also putting you in an awkward situation. The best approach is to remain neutral for the time being.

Mo Chen wanted to retort, but he really didn't know what to say. By the time he came to his senses, he had already arrived at the rest area with the others...

···

It was five in the morning.

Inside the Leifa monitoring room behind the lookout tower of the ecological base, Jiu Ge said to Amuer beside him with a helpless expression, "You know I'm actually not interested in men."

"once!"

Amur held up one index finger. "Let's try one more time! Let's kiss again! If you really don't have feelings for me, then forget it."

"Okay, come on."

Jiuge's eyes were lifeless. He turned his chair around to face Amur.

Amur removed his mask, revealing metal plates embedded around his lips. These were essential for him to use his potential, and even now, having mastered the Small Heavenly Circuit, they still helped him control his potential.

He closed his eyes and pursed his lips, noticing that Jiu Ge's lips unconsciously curled up. But just as he was about to kiss him, a red dot appeared on the radar screen, making Jiu Ge immediately notice the situation. He slapped the other man away and said, "We'll talk about it next time. There's something going on. It's those hunters from the Lighthouse!"

"They actually dared to come? And they even chose this time!"

Amur was furious that his good deed had been interrupted. "They need to understand who's in charge here. We need to stop the war with war!"

Chapter 1210 One Day Ago - The Lighthouse Fell

At the same time that Suiying launched a sneak attack on the ecological base of Longgu Village.

On the lighthouse.

As dawn broke, the common people rose on time, not for work, but to practice the Foundation Building Method under Zhang Zhiwei's guidance, in order to invigorate their blood and strengthen their bodies.

But before they could even begin, Zhang Zhiwei keenly sensed an unpredictable fluctuation occurring at the core of the lighthouse.

"Everyone, quickly move closer to the inside of the lighthouse wall and hold onto anything stable you can!"

Zhang Zhiwei's voice boomed like thunder, resounding in the ears of all the common people.

Although no one knew what had happened, out of trust in Zhang Zhiwei, they all moved closer to the inner wall of the lighthouse and grabbed onto pipes, metal poles, and the like.

At that very instant, all the flamethrowers below the lighthouse stopped working, and the entire lighthouse plummeted at an extremely high speed.

"Aircraft parking!"

In an instant, all the dust people and the upper people were lifted off the ground by the inertia of the lighthouse falling and slowly floated up.

call--

The lighthouse fell into the clouds, and the water vapor condensed into beads, creating an extremely delicate balance with the people suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei gritted his teeth, his nine orifices and eight meridians trembled, his five internal organs resonated, and he activated the gene lock again. With a roar, a point of spiritual light from his ancestral aperture burst forth with boundless brilliance, illuminating the entire lighthouse and protecting all the mortals, thus mitigating the impact they would suffer when they fell to the ground.

Shangmin...

He couldn't help him!

Inside the Lighthouse Aviation Control Room, the crew members, unaffected by external airflow, were still sitting comfortably at their consoles, but they were already in a state of panic—not only had the Lighthouse's flame propulsion system stopped working, but the more crucial anti-gravity system had also malfunctioned!

If the lighthouse's navigation system is not repaired and the anti-gravity device is not restarted quickly, the entire lighthouse will be destroyed!

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't restart the anti-gravity system, as if someone had hacked into the lighthouse's central control system and had more authority than any of them.

This includes Jingnan, the head of the aviation control room.

After a brief examination, Jingnan determined the cause:

It's the Kloto system!

Therefore, she immediately issued an order to manually activate the backup levitation system, using helium, which has a density much lower than air, to support the lighthouse's levitation.

After the lighthouse incident, Hong Guniang and Lu Jin, who were constantly scanning and monitoring various departments with their mental energy, immediately took action, ordering the city defense troops and material management personnel to rush to the gas transmission room to open the valve.

It's sizzling!

As the valve opened, helium gas flowed up the pipe to the top of the lighthouse, gradually reducing its descent speed.

The dust people outside the lighthouse gradually returned to the ground, and thanks to Zhang Zhiwei's protection, they were not seriously injured.

Zhang Zhiwei took a breath, catching his breath for a moment, and then shouted, "Special times! Let's take action!"

The dust-dwellers were orderly and hurried to their respective posts, inspecting facilities, repairing buildings, and servicing propulsion devices.

After a race against time and a series of extreme maneuvers, the lighthouse finally hovered successfully 200 meters above the ground, averting disaster.

"This big pot lid isn't very reliable either."

Zhang Zhiwei muttered to himself, then used the light to ask Jiang Liu: "The lighthouse is falling, it seems to be caused by the brain at its core... Do you know what happened?"

Lu Jin and Hong Guniang also joined the "group chat" to inquire about Jiang Liu's reasons.

In the past six months, they have already re-established contact with Jiang Liu.

A "Primordial Mana Body" exists in Dragon Bone Village, dating back 250 million years. It was discovered, retrieved, and studied by a man named Bai Jingyu...

At the outset of the catastrophe in this timeline, his daughter, Bai Yuekui, broke open its skull, hoping to resolve the crisis of the Earth Vines and Mana Spores by studying the information within its brain...

Mark's original form, along with his previous life, was a craniogene, a product of the left brain of Mana's primordial body. He was brought to the research lab by Bai Yuekui, but due to human greed, he was subjected to inhumane experiments. Furthermore, his genes were used to clone a large number of individuals with near-human forms for the purpose of selling live organs…

As an individual undergoing a "reincarnation" of cranial life, Mark had just completed the final step. The will behind Mana's original body also wanted to use this opportunity to interfere with him, forcing him to return to the ecosystem and become its incarnation. Therefore, it poured most of its will into this, trying to achieve a 100% connection with Mark's spirit, to the point that the right brain of Mana's original body, namely the Lighthouse Kloto system, was temporarily seized by another will.

Lu Jin asked seriously: "[Is there another will, more evil than the will behind Mana's original form, that wants to kill everyone in the Lighthouse?]"

That's ASH, the artificial intelligence developed by Bai Jingyu.

With a flash of insight, Jiang Liu received the information that revealed the root cause: "Although she is an artificial intelligence, she possesses her own unique consciousness."

Even in the past of this timeline, before the Mana ecosystem fully erupted, in order to continuously improve her computational abilities, she treated the lives of the entire city as pieces on a chessboard, including Bai Yuekui, the daughter of her creator.

Does it consider itself a god?

Zhang Zhiwei wasn't particularly fond of ASH.

To some extent, the ASH created by Bai Jingyu is not fundamentally different from the will behind the Mana ecosystem.

Jiang Liu confirmed Zhang Zhiwei's guess: "For ASH, who can roam the online world and create virtual worlds, she is a 'god' who can define everything within it."

As long as her computing power is sufficient.

The will behind the Mana Primal and Mana Ecosystem can be seen as treating our three-dimensional universe as its "game."

After thinking for a moment, Red Girl asked, "ASH isn't planning to kill all the humans on the lighthouse, is it?"

Her consciousness coexists with that of the initial Mana entity in her right brain, and is connected to the entire Mana ecosystem. Since I'm on the "blacklist," it's difficult to see through her; I can only make some inferences.

Firstly, according to her calculations, the Kloto system would maximize her benefits by crashing along with the lighthouse, thus completely eliminating the direct influence of Mana's will on Mark.

So she took advantage of the fact that Mana's initial body's will was focused on Mark and directly locked onto the lighthouse's anti-gravity system.

In this possibility, ASH believes that the sacrifice of tens of thousands of people is insignificant compared to the destruction of the right brain of the Mana primordial body.

Secondly, she wanted to use this as a pretext to get the Lighthouse and Dragonbone Village to cooperate.

Jiang Liu mentioned two possibilities.

【cooperate?】

Zhang Zhiwei was utterly shocked.

Where in the world is there such a cooperative method?

[You mean, ASH includes the lighthouse's ability to temporarily hover using helium in its calculations?]

But then a thought occurred to Hong Gu Niang, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

As I've said before, her underlying will is no different from that of Mana Ecology; both use all living beings as pawns.

Jiang Liu nodded. "With the lighthouse falling, the Devouring Beasts will inevitably swarm in, and Bai Yuekui will definitely not stand by and watch them die."

Of course, because ASH and Mana's original body share the same right brain, Mana's original body is fully aware of her thoughts and ideas.

He must have his own plans!

Sometimes, pushing the same action can achieve different goals for both sides!

Take a look at the Abyssbreaker Armor; that thing was made by cutting off the skin from the nose area of ​​Mana's original form...

Chapter 1211 One Day Ago—Charles' Frustration

After ending their communication with Jiang Liu, Hong Guniang, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin gathered together to discuss their next move.

"If you ask me, the timing is perfect. Let's go all the way and kill Charles."

Zhang Zhiwei grinned, thinking the time had come.

The city defense reserve force has grown considerably; trust Red Girl!

Because Lu Jin manages the supplies distribution room, he has a good relationship with many reasonable people!

And then there's Zhang Zhiwei, who manages the largest number of Dust People.

Other departments—

Sengge, a member of the city's garrison, was Charles's man, but Zhang Zhiwei saw through him clearly. He was adept at changing his allegiance to Charles, and although he seemed loyal to Charles, he would surely turn against him if the situation turned against him.

Dr. Carrie of the Ecological Research Institute didn't care who the lord of the lighthouse was; she only wanted to study the one who stood on the edge of the abyss.

Jing Nan, who works in the Lighthouse Aviation Control Room, is said to be Charles's sister, but there are also rumors circulating among the residents that their relationship is not so good... This needs to be noted, but it is not a cause for concern.

"He's just a mere 'landlord,' and we've already given him enough face by wasting so much time on him."

"Truly a soldier!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "One word: Awesome!"
