With a thought, Han Xiao arrived at Hila’s residence. She had built the house beside the advanced cultivation room. Even though it was peaceful now, she did not slack off.
Hila had just finished her first round of training, so she left the training room. She returned to her room and a strange skeleton beast resembling a dog and a cat pounced on her.
Hila’s usually indifferent face revealed a doting smile. She bent down and picked up the little skeleton beast, stroking its smooth and white bones. The little beast stretched comfortably in her arms.
Han Xiao tilted his head, surprised. This was the first time he had seen Hila raise a pet.
Although this pet looked a little scary in his eyes, in the eyes of Hila, who controlled the power of death, this little skeleton beast was probably quite cute. As the saying went, beauty lay in the eyes of the beholder.
Seeing Hila slowly play with her pet, Han Xiao felt a little strange.
“Raising a pet doesn’t seem like something she would do…”
In his eyes, Hila’s personality had always been strong and cold. She pursued greater strength and would not waste her energy on unnecessary things, making people stay away from her. Now that she had a hobby… well, having a hobby made her more of a normal person.
“This is good. She finally found some interest in life…”
Han Xiao turned around and left.
He strolled around the Supers Holy Land and observed the lives of the various Beyond Grade As. He saw many Beyond Grade As who no longer needed to fight with others and focused on their careers. It was as if most of them had found the peace and quiet that they had not felt in a long time. Very soon, Han Xiao arrived at the business department and saw it bustling. In the office, a group of executives was queuing up to receive Sorokin’s instructions.
He took a closer look and saw that Sorokin’s body was emitting a faint light, and he was in the revival state. His face was full of energy, and he was in high spirits as he arranged the business plans in an orderly manner.
Under Sorokin’s leadership, the economic development of the Supers Holy Land had been booming. Sorokin felt as though he had met a second spring in his career, and he had finally found a stage to showcase his strength.
Not long after, Han Xiao walked past all the departments and finally arrived at the square. There were statues of all the Beyond Grade As there.
His gaze swept across everyone’s statues, and the experiences he had with the Beyond Grade As over the past few decades surfaced in his mind. Under the hard work of himself and a few pinnacle Beyond Grade As, the Beyond Grade As had gone from a pile of loose sand to a tightly-knit collective of benefits. The creation of the Supers Holy Land gave everyone a place of refuge, bearing witness to the fruits of their decades of hard work.
Although there was some animosity between them, in the end, these hundreds of statues represented the Beyond Grade As who had fought alongside him for decades. They could be considered comrades who had fought together.
“We can be considered partners…”
Han Xiao closed his eyes and vaguely felt a new information anchor being generated. He then turned around and left.
At the same time, all the Beyond Grade As in the Supers Holy Land suddenly felt something and looked up in the direction where Han Xiao had disappeared.
Half a day later, Han Xiao, as an uninvited guest, arrived in the Mechanical Race territory.
The Mechanical Race was no stranger to a big shot like Han Xiao, and they welcomed him.
A young Mechanic came out to receive them and brought Han Xiao to the guest room.
“Your Excellency Black Star, may I ask why you’re here?” As soon as he sat down, the young Mechanic asked curiously.
“I want to meet Manison and catch up with him.”
Han Xiao smiled.
Among the many Beyond Grade A comrades, Manison was the most special one.
The two of them had been ‘in love’ for decades, and Han Xiao had even ‘inherited’ many of Manison’s abilities. Therefore, Manison had a special position in Han Xiao’s heart. He felt that Manison might be able to bring him a new Information Form Anchor, so he came to visit.
However, this young Mechanic shook his head and rejected his request.
“I’m sorry, Your Excellency Black Star. His Excellency Mechanic Emperor is going to conduct a long period of closed-door research. No visitor is to be allowed.”
“Me too?”
“My teacher has already instructed me, especially you…” the young Mechanic replied carefully. “Heh, this guy really doesn’t hide it at all. I thought our relationship had eased up a lot.”
Han Xiao then sized up the young man before him and asked,
“You’re Manison’s student? What’s your name?”
“Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am a new student that my teacher accepted two years ago. My name is Marigo Morgan, and I am temporarily in charge of the Mechanical Race’s affairs for him. Greetings, Your Excellency Black Star.” This person nodded politely.
“He actually accepted a new student and didn’t even inform me.” Han Xiao was amazed.
Seeing that Manison was not willing to reminisce, Han Xiao did not hesitate and expressed his intention to leave.
Arriving at the Moon Platform, Han Xiao was about to board the ship and leave when he suddenly realized that a new Information Form Anchor had been created.
He looked back at the depths of the Mechanical Race territory and smiled mysteriously. He then closed the hatch, activated the spaceship, and escaped into space. At the same time, deep within the Mechanical Race’s territory.
Manison, who was in seclusion studying the technology, raised his head and looked in the direction that Han Xiao left through the wall. He did not say much and lowered his head to continue his research.
“Humph, annoying fellow…
Chapter 1461: Information Form Anchor (4) |
Ancient Star Desert, a certain dead planet.
Green moonlight hung in the sky, and the cracked black earth was in perpetual silence. Not a single blade of grass could be seen, and there was not even a hint of green. Occasionally, broken buildings could be seen stuck in the ground, and the parts that emerged were filled with mottled traces of wind erosion. The exquisite carvings were already blurry, and there were also shattered statues of people lying on the ground. Some only had half a head, while others only had half a body.
This area seemed to be the ruins of some abandoned city buried by time.
A small spaceship was hovering one meter above the ground, emitting a light blue field that covered dozens of kilometers, providing remote energy and life support functions. The silver-gold spaceship had a narrow front and wide back, forming a triangular shape. Its exterior armor was also engraved with the insignias of the Supers Holy Land, Black Star Army, and Floating Dragon Island. This was a special high-end spaceship that had yet to be mass-produced by the army’s logistics department. It was equipped with all kinds of cutting-edge technology and could break through the speed limit of level five warp speed to reach level 17.7. It was quite expensive.
At this moment, under the spaceship’s life support field, about five hundred meters underground, two figures were slowly trekking through a maze-like ruin.
“These are the ruins of the capital of the Fifth Dynasty, and also the last remains of the people of Tersrand. Their civilization perished at the end of the exploration era, and the scavengers later dug out some ancient objects, which allowed the ruins of this civilization to see the light of day again. Speaking of which, they were unlucky. Who would have thought that their mother planet was once the resting place of a group of giant galactic beasts countless years ago? The awakening of the ancient beasts brought about a disaster to their civilization…”
Harrison stroked the blurry engravings on the wall of the underground palace as he spoke. Jenny hugged the child and listened with interest.
Jenny had already given birth to a c
hild. After recuperating on Floating Dragon for a few months, Harrison’s desire for adventure grew, and Jenny could not stay idle either. The two of them set off immediately. Using their connections, they took a cutting-edge spaceship from the army logistics department for free and explored everywhere.
Because they were carrying a child, it was not suitable for them to go to places that were too dangerous. Thus, Harrison decided to take Jenny to tour archaeological sites. For this reason, he specially joined the Spacetime Research Council and read the records of a large number of lost civilizations. He was determined to be a ‘good tour guide’.
The three of them were currently wearing the new generation interstellar exploration mechanical suits produced by the army. It could withstand all kinds of extreme environments, and the baby’s mechanical suit was specially made, and even had a series of functions such as mental stability, sleeping, and automatic diaper changing… Harrison stopped in front of a row of broken statues, pointed at them, and smiled.
“This is the underground palace that the last King of Tersrand built for the past kings when he was young. In the eyes of ordinary people, he built it to honor the previous kings, but in fact, according to the records in some books, he built this underground palace to cover up a natural tunnel that goes deep underground. There was a young Ancient Beast inside, and he wanted to tame it secretly. He wanted to use this external force to break the grip that the Prince Regent had on his authority… It sounds boring, right? It’s also a boring political struggle in the palace, but you definitely won’t be able to guess what happened.”
“He accidentally awakened more ancient beasts and destroyed the civilization?” Jenny was curious.
“Haha, you guessed wrong. He awakened this ancient beast, but he fell in love with it. Due to the special genes of the ancient beast, the closer the last Tersrand King got to the ancient beast, the more his bloodline mutated. In the end, he transformed into a new ancient beast at the court assembly and personally led the ancient beast to destroy the capital…”
“Is this love that transcends species? Or is this a mental hint from the ancient beast?”
Jenny’s eyes widened. Although interspecies dating was very common, it was still quite impactful to hear of it.
Harrison shook his head. “I’m not sure. Only the person involved knows.”
“What happened then?”
“After that, the slumbering ancient beasts woke up one after another and escaped into the starry sky. The last Tersrand King was nowhere to be found. Some said that he disappeared into the starry sky with the ancient beasts. Some said that he stayed with his partner in the ruins of his mother planet and wandered in this dead land forever…”
“Sounds a little romantic,” Jenny said.
“Haha, we might even be able to find their corpses here. This is the purpose of our exploration.”
Harrison laughed.
The two of them chatted casually as they went deeper into the underground palace. Most of the time, Harrison was the one talking, while Jenny was the one listening. Not long after, they finally arrived at the end of the underground palace. There was a tunnel blocked by rocks.
Harrison casually shattered the rocks with a punch, revealing a broken staircase that descended diagonally. He walked in with Jenny, and after walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the end. It was a cave-like space. Two beast skeletons were hugging each other as if they were lying dead in each other’s arms.
“Could this be the last Tersrand King and his partner?” Jenny was curious.
“I think so… Looks like they decided to stay here to accompany each other and sleep together forever.”
Harrison’s eyes sparkled. He recorded a series of videos, picked up a few bones, and stored them. He planned to bring them back for research.
However, right at this moment, the ground suddenly shook. The two of them felt the cave shaking, and the tremors gradually grew larger. Soon, the ground began to shake.
Boom!
The sound of the earth veins moving could be heard. It was getting louder and louder, like the earth was roaring.
“Is it collapsing?”.
Harrison’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately flew back with Jenny.
However, halfway through, the entire underground palace collapsed.
Hong Long LongCountless rocks fell, filling up all the gaps. Looking down from above, the ground had instantly collapsed, turning into a huge crater.
However, right at this moment, a force field with a faint green glow suddenly descended from the sky, tearing the surface of the planet apart. Under the guidance of the force field, a round ball of soil broke out from the ground and flew for a distance before finally landing beside the spaceship.
The ball shook, and the dirt and rocks on it fell off, revealing a round blue shield. The armors of Harrison and the other two could sense the impact of the outside world, so they automatically opened their shields. This small scene could not cause any damage to them, and the three of them were completely unharmed
This time, Ames, who was wearing a black dress, landed from the sky and floated in front of the three of them. With a helpless expression, she said with dissatisfaction,
“How could you be so careless? I saw that you were buried alive the moment I arrived. Since you’re carrying a child, don’t go to such a dangerous place.”
“Ahem, an accident, an accident.” Harrison was embarrassed. Although they would not be injured in the collapse, it would still take some time for them to climb out. He did not expect Ames to see them, which made him very embarrassed.
Jenny, on the other hand, did not have much of a reaction. She had been out with Harrison for more than a year, and they had been buried alive seven or eight times. Anyway, she would not get hurt, and she was used to it.
With extraordinary strength, her definition of danger was definitely different from ordinary people. Jenny was not afraid of taking a small risk with her child, so she asked curiously, “Sis, how did you find us?”
Phillip suddenly appeared and sat on Ames’ shoulder, giving her a thumbs up.
“Of course it’s because of me, hum… I can locate all the spaceships produced by the army, hum…”
“Alright, I almost forgot that Black Star gave you the authority to mobilize the army’s artificial intelligence… Then why are you looking for us personally? Can’t we talk through the communicator? Why are you disturbing our time together?”
Jenny curled her lips.
Ames turned to look at the sleeping child in Jenny’s arms, a gentle smile on her face. “I missed my nephew. Can’t I come and take a look? Quick, let me play with the child.”
“Don’t even think about it! Don’t you know how heavy your hand is? Every time I give him to you, you don’t know how to cherish him at all. You don’t care if it’s not your child, right?”
Jenny immediately objected and turned around to protect the child in her arms.
However, Ames did not listen to her. Ignoring her objections, she controlled her force field and took the child from her arms. Then, she opened the mechanical suit and used her fingers to rub the child’s chubby face, waking the child up. “Hey! Be gentler!” Jenny grabbed Ames’ arm and yelled at Harrison, “What are you still doing there? Come and help!”
Harrison smiled bitterly.
The sisters were having a fight, so he did not dare to meddle.
“What do you know? I’m using my energy to clear his body and build a good foundation for him.”
Ames ignored Jenny and continued to rub the baby’s face. Although she controlled her strength, she did not have any parenting knowledge, so she still made the baby cry.
Jenny could not win against Ames’ strength, so she had no choice but to coax the child.
“Don’t you dislike children? Why are you always pestering me?” “Just because I didn’t like them before doesn’t mean I still don’t like them.”
Ames did not even turn around and conti
nued to tease the child, finally making him laugh.
Jenny said unhappily, “If you like them, you can have them yourself. Why are you always playing with my child?” “What’s the point of spending so much effort? Don’t you have one here?” Ames blinked.
Jenny’s mouth twitched. Sometimes, she really could not stand Ames’ straightforward style.
She was speechless for a while before asking curiously,
“Speaking of which, have you thought about whether or not you want to have a child with Black Star? He mentioned it more than once, but you never responded to him.”
“…I haven’t thought about it yet. Let’s think about it again.” Ames was a little hesitant.
“My good sister, how long have you been thinking about this?” Jenny was speechless. “Although you guys have a long lifespan, there still has to be a result from all the thinking about, right? Only Black Star spoils you. If it were someone else, they might have even created a race at this age.”
Hearing this, Ames glanced at her and clicked her tongue in wonder. “Weren’t you always unhappy about me accepting Black Star? Why are you now urging me to reproduce with him?”
Jenny pursed her lips and did not speak.
In the past, she was indeed unhappy that Han Xiao was together with Ames, but now that she had a child, she wished that Han Xiao could make Ames unable to get out of bed every day so that she could have a happy life. This way, she and her child would not be harassed by Ames.
Buzz!
Space rippled slightly, and Han Xiao stepped out from the void.
“Hmm? Why are you here too?” Ames looked over and was surprised. “You borrowed Phillip’s authority. Of course, I received the news.” Han Xiao shrugged.
“Then what are you doing here?” Ames narrowed her eyes and said with a strange tone. She still remembered what happened the last time and still had some emotions in her heart.
“My business is done for the time being. I came to accompany you.” Han Xiao smiled.
