Moreover, the life states of the subterranean humans are marked with special genetic electromagnetic signals, which are synchronized with the headquarters of the star-space humans. Therefore, the deaths of humans have long since alerted them to the possibility of being monitored and causing changes.
Jiang Mo showed no surprise whatsoever, and even seemed slightly... expectant!
Sure enough, in less than ten seconds, under his gaze, the dancing light particles gradually converged into a lifelike face, as if it were a creator existing in the virtual network, with the space around it constantly vibrating as pale blue cubes moved in a regular pattern back and forth.
The man appeared to be only in his forties, with golden eyes that exuded the majesty of a superior. His resolute face gave him a cold and stern look, while a sword-shaped mark representing the highest power and honor of the Starry Sky Human Race was etched between his brows.
Tuvelvis.
This was his name. Memories of him surfaced in Jiang Mo's mind. He was the leader of the Starry Sky Clan, who had maintained contact with the Underground Clan for nearly two hundred years, and also the 130th generation leader of this civilization.
In the distant depths of space, these human civilizations possess extremely advanced biotechnology, and all citizens can enjoy all known social benefits, the most basic of which is—eternal life.
Scientists of the Starry Sky Clan use gene editing and evolution potions to permanently alter a person's lifespan, both innately and acquiredly, freeing them from the torment of a short life. They also have a way to upload their consciousness to the internet and achieve immortality.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as their citizens are willing to live, they can live indefinitely.
However, all three types of immortality have a fatal prerequisite: they cannot possess powerful and terrifying combat strength. They can only maintain the body and soul at the lowest possible level of consumption, which cannot keep up with the rate of recovery, thus achieving the closed loop of immortality.
Many interstellar human beings have extremely fragile physical bodies, far less robust than those of ordinary humans.
Therefore, they are often protected by energy barriers when they travel to prevent the complex substances in the atmosphere from posing a fatal threat to them, or they are accompanied by various powerful AI mechs for protection.
After thousands of years of evolution, their bodies and souls have become increasingly weak, like candles flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Yet, it is precisely in this state that they have achieved a distorted form of immortality.
In theory, as long as they remain in the world inside the Eternal Mothership, they will not die.
In that city where technology surpasses all imagination, all the Star People, whether at the bottom, middle, or top levels, can enjoy abundant material wealth and experience countless kinds of happiness and fulfill their desires.
However, over the long course of time, these humans gradually become numb and weary. Most of them feel unprecedented despair after about two hundred years, and each day feels like a year.
All sensory stimulation becomes tasteless, and even the most extensive knowledge can be mastered with a single click through a brain-computer interface chip.
Thus, they reached a dead end in their lives, where everything lost its meaning, and they craved death.
The Tuvelvis before them was an anomaly among anomalies. According to the secrets of the underground human race controlled by Jiang Mo, this person had appeared during an exchange six hundred years ago, when he was a senior politician of the Starry Sky Human Empire.
Four hundred years later, he stood out from a hundred candidates and rose to the top, becoming the head of the Eternal Mothership, which held the fate of 7.2 billion human beings in the starry sky.
Furthermore, the renewal ceremony, held on average every 20 years, has been remarkably successful, with no other member of parliament possessing the eloquence and ability to match it.
At this moment, this legendary leader of the Star Clan, through a gaze across the void, looked at Jiang Mo, who was dressed in white, and slowly spoke:
"Oh, it's you."
"My system shows that all the people from our homeland have been wiped out by you. Was that your doing?"
Tuvelvis recognized Jiang Mo years ago, when Jiang Mo was famous throughout the world.
The subterranean humans continuously uploaded relevant intelligence to the space humans, and during the high-level meeting on the mothership, they even marked him as a dangerous person who needed to be dealt with!
Faced with this sudden turn of events, You Sha was stunned. She had been trapped here for nearly ten years, and this was the first time she had ever seen a creature that appeared to be alive and was stationed here.
Jiang Mo calmly accepted the scrutinizing gaze and smiled slightly.
"Since I did it, I'll trouble you to restore it for them. With your skills, it should be a piece of cake."
"The data shows that you are the strongest Master known in your homeland. It would be a great pity to die like this. There is a wider world beyond this world. A strong person like you is worth cultivating and becoming a historical figure who expands the empire's territory and has great achievements."
"Join us, how about it?"
Contrary to his usual behavior, Tuvelvis did not pursue Jiang Mo's crime of attacking the underground human race, but instead extended an olive branch to him in an attempt to win him over.
His expression was gentle, but his words carried an air of absolute authority, as lofty and unyielding as those of an ancient emperor.
"I also have a suggestion for you: it's not too late to change course now."
Ignoring his invitation, Jiang Mo took the opportunity to issue a warning: if the Starry Sky Humans dared to continue their voyage, they would inevitably suffer irreparable consequences in the future, and a bloody war was destined to break out between the two worlds.
"In time? Don't you think you're being ridiculous?"
Tuvelvis, with a look of condescension as he gazed down at Jiang Mo, shook his head and said with a mocking expression:
“Our entire race has come here, traversing dozens of star systems and hopping through wormholes tens of thousands of times. Your suggestion to change course won’t stop us from returning.”
"Besides, you don't have that ability."
"Whether you have it or not, just continue."
Jiang Mo laughed confidently, while You Sha, standing to the side, was completely confused and instinctively felt uneasy.
As soon as the words fell, dense ripples appeared in the void, forming one unfamiliar and aged face after another. The newcomers were a group of elders from the Starry Sky Human Race, whose status was second only to the leader.
Some were old, some were young, some were ugly, and some were handsome.
Without exception, the elders' eyes were filled with indifference and contempt, as if they were looking at arrogant, ignorant insects.
"It's unbelievable that the Master of the homeland, even after thousands of years, still has such a narrow vision."
Do you really think we're still the same as before?
An elder, whose face consisted of only half a digitized body, let out a few cold laughs, his eyes revealing a cruel and fierce glint.
He was a proponent of war within the empire and was the first to propose using the Star Destroyer Cannon to destroy the human world when they were close to their homeland, thus opening the entrance to the outside world of the Heavenly Abyss.
"Last time it was expulsion, this time it's destruction."
“Those arrogant masters and Dao Lords did make a mistake: they didn’t exterminate them all.”
"Now that you have returned in this era, let me correct this mistake."
Jiang Mo continued speaking calmly, as if in his eyes these threats were nothing and could be quelled at any time.
His gaze swept across the void, taking in the mocking, displeased, and angry expressions of the elders. Yet, nothing could shake his resolve; he was determined to eradicate these alien races from the depths of the universe before they entered the Milky Way and approached the solar system.
“If I descend in the future, I will capture you alive and make you my slave, dissect your body, reproduce your offspring, and then let the natives in your arms, your children, and you, generation after generation, live as tools of my enslavement.”
The speaker this time was an elder with long purple hair, a charming and youthful appearance, named Laiyun, the highest-ranking person in charge of the Imperial Biotechnology Institute.
"......"
Upon hearing this, You Sha felt furious. She silently stared at the arrogant woman with cold eyes, wishing she could tear her to pieces.
However, before Jiang Mo could respond to Lai Yun's provocation, he was interrupted by another elder.
"Enough! He is not someone you can insult at will, Laiyun."
"Human, out of consideration for our kinship, I will advise you to join us. If you are willing, we will provide you with all the resources of the empire, and you may even be able to take a seat among us, become a new elder, or even the leader."
Upon hearing this, Tuvelvis not only did not get angry, but instead smiled in agreement:
"Yes, that's our sincerity."
"I am getting old. My decaying soul can no longer support my young body, and my spirit is also declining. I am no longer able to make more decisions. When we reach the unknown world in the future, we still need to choose a new leader to lead our people to glory and maintain the glorious light of civilization."
“As elders, they are all eligible to run for office. If you are willing, you are naturally eligible as well, and we can make an exception and preserve your planet.”
At this point, Tuvelvis's tone became noticeably sharper, and he went on to explain the plans they had decided on.
"Only a small portion of the creatures of our homeland are worth preserving and studying."
“You are precisely such an exception. As for other life forms, they are no different from dust in the universe to us. We just need to destroy them.”
"If you don't want your world to disappear from the stars, please reconsider. Joining us won't be a mistake."
The other elders couldn't help but sneer, adopting a "let's watch the show" attitude.
They didn't even consider the human in front of them as an opponent, after all, they had such a huge fleet, and in terms of strength, their military and equipment could also crush the underground human race.
"No need, but I do have a request."
A smile spread across Jiang Mo's lips as he looked sincerely at the eleven faces projected in the void and said:
"If possible, please let me witness your transformation over the past three thousand years. Make sure you wash your necks thoroughly and wait for me."
"How dare you! You lowly commoner, how dare you argue with us like this?" Elder Laiyun shouted coldly.
Compared to her impatience, Tuvelvis appeared much more composed. He gave a gentlemanly yet meaningful smile, maintaining proper etiquette while displaying absolute conviction, and left with these words:
"Then let's look forward to our meeting. Please do your best to survive the gunfire. Of course, we welcome you to join us at any time to strengthen the human race and create a better future!"
"I just hope that you won't end up with your family destroyed and homeless, and that when you think back on our proposal today, you won't hold a grudge against us. It's just about survival, and conflicts and contradictions are inevitable. I hope you can understand."
"..."
Jiang Mo ignored her, simply took You Sha's hand, and turned to leave this special space.
Seeing that this exceptionally rare human was no longer paying attention to them, the old man who had initially invited Jiang Mo to become an elder panicked and hurriedly shouted:
"Human, don't you want to know about the world beyond our own?"
"In your planetary region, there is a hidden exit leading to a much larger world. From our rough exploration, it is tens of thousands of times larger than our homeland. Aren't you tempted?"
"If you die, you will never see that world, the Immortal Realm that you and your people have been seeking for ten thousand years in search of immortality!"
"The path to immortality is right before your eyes, are you going to give up?!"
"Foolish! Foolish! A wise person knows when to yield! Besides, ten thousand years ago, our ancestors shared the same blood. Why are you so resistant to us?"
"Come back here, you bastard!"
In an effort to win over Jiang Mo, the elder even brought up the "theory of becoming an immortal." In their understanding, the cultivators of their homeland endured hundreds or thousands of years of solitude in order to seek such an answer.
However, he did not value Jiang Mo, a junior he had never met, but rather sought his ultimate strength so that he could subdue him for the empire in the future, replicate him, and create even more powerful mechs and gene warriors.
However, the old man's tricks had no effect whatsoever. Jiang Mo had never thought of becoming an immortal, nor did he envy or fear immortals.
In his view, everything is the result of evolution and information asymmetry, and the so-called 'immortals' and 'gods' that people blindly pursue, even to the point of going mad, have never been his necessary goals.
Jiang Mo only wanted to be free from worldly constraints, to learn as many techniques and supernatural powers as possible, to stand at a higher dimension, to understand the laws and truths of this world, and to use them for his own benefit.
He cultivates himself one day at a time, accumulating as much as he can, that's all. That's why he has enjoyed reading ancient books for so many years.
And so it went, amid the elder’s hysterical shouts and furious curses.
Jiang Mo walked further and further away, his silent actions like a resounding slap in the face of those arrogant Starry Sky Humans.
Within seconds, a series of explosions came from behind, and one towering energy tower after another was smashed to pieces, with countless flames shooting into the sky.
Faces hanging in the void emitted angry rebukes, accusing Jiang Mo of rudeness and vowing to make him suffer all kinds of hardships in the future.
"Boom!!!"
The wormhole's exit reopened, and Jiang Mo, holding You Sha's right hand, returned to the human world.
He turned slightly to the side, gazing at the man-made wormhole, now ablaze with flames and reduced to ruins. A terrifyingly powerful gaze shot out in an instant, covering tens of thousands of meters in a flash, and then exploded violently in the very center of space.
"Boom!!!"
The man-made wormhole located in the Bermuda Triangle was destroyed and completely annihilated by him.
Chapter 529 The Game Before Cooperation is Reached: Bloodline Extermination
Ten years of wasted time passed. You Sha was imprisoned in an artificial wormhole, constantly concentrating on resisting the gravitational magnetic field, making it impossible for her to cultivate.
Her cultivation level is still stuck at the bottleneck she reached many years ago. Her path of mortal magic has come to an end, and there is no way forward. She must forge her own way.
However, ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and she was still standing still. Moreover, she suffered greatly both physically and mentally. When she came out of the wormhole, she was still in shock, as if she were in a dream and could hardly believe it.
Jiang Mo had many important matters to attend to, so he turned to look at her and instructed her:
"Go back and rest for a while. Don't tell the doormen what you saw today, or it will cause them unnecessary panic."
"As for what you want to know, it's all in here. You can check it when you get back."
A glimmer of memory appeared at Jiang Mo's fingertips, drifting to You Sha's hand. You Sha's face was haggard and weary. Looking at the light in her palm, she nodded in response, offering a forced smile.
"Well, I'll pay attention."
"it is good."
Jiang Mo watched her leave, and a void portal opened instantly, swallowing You Sha's figure whole. It wasn't a teleportation to the San Yi Gate in the mortal world, but to the San Yi Secret Realm.
At the same moment, on the distant southeastern coast, the bright moonlight shone down on the earth. A vast, colossal hand parted the clouds and reached down towards the Sanyi Gate, as if uprooting it. It lifted the enormous gate and the entire mountain range into its palm, then suddenly tore through the void and vanished in an instant.
At the same time, Jiang Mo, on the sea, slowly opened his eyes and dispersed the magic seal on his left hand.
Just now, to prevent the demon race and the starry sky human race from launching another deadly attack on the sect, he preemptively moved the sect back to the secret realm, eliminating any worries about the future.
"call out--"
The silvery-gray Qi light instantly pierced through the boundless waves, heading straight northwest. Countless scenes blurred into nothingness, passing through Jiang Mo's eyes. The nearly ten thousand kilometers were covered in the blink of an eye, and he had already completed his journey and entered the Flying Immortal Secret Realm once again.
Soon after, at the Bamboo Grove Thatched Cottage on Hanxian Peak, Jiang Mo met with Xuan Hua, Yao Wang, Yue Li, Yue Min, Feixian Yuzhu, Feixian Zhangjiao, and others.
In addition, there were several dragon elders and scientists who had been invited to the surface by the Flying Immortal Master from the underground dragon kingdom, as well as a top-level elite guard team of dragons.
