"Can't come back, right... I know..." Ye Ling lowered her head, turning her back to everyone, repeatedly murmuring.
In Ye Ling's heart, Ziyu was the most important, no matter when.
"Ziyu has lost connection, probably afraid of an accident that would let Ye Ling hear," Zero shook his head. Ziyu wouldn't accept any communication now.
"Ye Ling, you need to understand that Ziyu is doing this for your own good," Zero said. "It was always like that from the beginning."
Ye Ling still faced away from everyone, in front of her was a window, and she stared straight at the sky as if searching for something.
Earth.
Ziyu was inside the Kallok Metal sphere, enduring the corrosion of the Zerg on Kallok Metal.
"This isn't a solution..." But Ziyu really couldn't think of any way out. "Should I just fight to the death?"
Ziyu knew that Earth was completely beyond saving now; fighting to the death would be pointless.
Ziyu was very rational at this moment; after all, the people she cared about were mostly safe, so all she wanted now was to escape this hellish place.
"The Zerg is already numerous; moving even slightly would mean certain death. But getting the Zerg to leave is also unrealistic..." Ziyu's mind raced with thoughts, but it seemed trapped in a fixed mindset, unable to come up with any innovative or effective solutions.
"Get out of my way, you useless fools!" Soon after, many Zerg Queen s rushed in from all directions.
"Is it really this...?" The Zerg Queen observed from outside the metal sphere and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is the Pioneer’s Holy Gold!"
It turned out that during the era of conflict between the Pioneer and the Zerg, this metal was also a trump card for the Pioneer. All of the Pioneer's equipment was made from this so-called "Holy Gold," which is Kallok Metal.
However, due to the Zerg, only a small piece of Kallok Metal remains... and ultimately, Kallok Metal fell into the hands of the Emperor, leading to this series of stories about Kallok Metal.
"We were at our wits' end because we couldn't handle Kallok Metal... but later, Pioneer was also destroyed. Do you know why?" the Zerg Queen said from outside.
It sounded like she was talking to herself, or perhaps addressing Ziyu.
"Because we Zerg evolved a toxin specifically to combat Kallok Metal..." the alluring voice of the Zerg Queen echoed, "We Zerg are not just what you know; we reproduce quickly, and our evolution speed is also rapid. In fact... we can even choose our own evolutionary direction."
"This is bad!" Ziyu felt a chill in his heart. "It seems that this Zerg Queen is going to use that toxin!"
It turned out that the original Zerg already had a way to deal with Kallok Metal... However, it seemed that only the Zerg Queen possessed this method, while the smaller Zerg did not.
But another serious problem was that there were quite a few Zerg Queen s!
"What should I do?" Ziyu was sweating profusely, thinking quickly.
Humans tend to feel fear towards unknown creatures, and Ziyu, not being a saint, naturally felt the same. In this natural fear, he found himself unable to think of anything at all.
"Yufeng Universe Nation has been destroyed? Good, let's attack the next Cosmic Kingdom. We have encountered some trouble here; Earth has discovered Holy Gold, so it seems we need to wait a while to resolve this," the Zerg Queen communicated with the Zerg attacking in another Star Domain, showing no hesitation about Ziyu's presence.
Perhaps, the Zerg Queen wanted Ziyu to hear this on purpose.
"I think you should come out now!" the Zerg Queen laughed heartily, and other nearby Zerg Queen s arrived at the exterior of the metal sphere, occupying different positions.
"Let's all work together to get that little guy inside out. Although Holy Gold is hard, it's still a great supplement for the children," as soon as the words left her mouth, numerous Tentacles on her body surged forward and pressed against the metal sphere.
The other queens made similar movements, and soon the entire metal sphere was enveloped by writhing Tentacles.
Tentacle began generating slime, attaching itself to the metal sphere, which surprisingly emitted a hissing sound and started to melt.
"System malfunction." Inside the metal sphere, Ziyu's system was damaged by the venom, causing some functions to fail.
"This is about to break, damn it, let's go all out!" After a string of curses, the metal sphere suddenly cracked open, beginning to differentiate into various structures as its limbs stretched out.
The corrosive speed of the venom was faster than that of Infinite Replication. Ziyu couldn't hold on any longer; if no measures were taken soon, it would be finished... It would be better to take down some of these detestable creatures before dying.
"Huh? Struggle, we Zerg love the lively ones." said Zerg Queen. "Children, go on and feast; it's a great supplement~"
An endless sea of insects surged toward Ziyu, and even after Ziyu's blades severed a few Zerg, they clung on tightly.
The mech was like a toy in front of these Zerg, completely ineffective.
"Explode!" Ziyu gritted its teeth and finally decided to use its last resort.
Firearms had little effect on the Zerg, not much stronger than blades, so there was only one method left... self-destruction!
The mech's Nuclear Energy core was substantial; when it self-destructed... at least within a one-mile radius, not a single Zerg would be able to escape.
"Killing many of you isn't in vain..." Ziyu smiled, a relieved smile, filled with endless contempt for the Zerg, creatures driven solely by instinct.
The Zerg truly did not deserve to live in this universe, but they indeed possessed formidable strength.
After lurking on Yufeng Star for millions of years, emerging now meant disaster!
And... the Yufeng Universe Nation has already perished, humanity is doomed, and the new humans, Mechanical Life, will eventually run out of energy...
If this continues, without a race like the Pioneer appearing again, the universe will belong to the Zerg... Heh, at that time, when the universe runs out of energy, the Zerg will also perish.
"Self-destruct sequence activated... 3... 2... 1..."
With a clear sound, Ziyu's mech finally exploded, while Ziyu inside was protected by Kallok Metal's Battle Armor.
"Ha..."
Everything came to a standstill.
Yes, that's right, this is not a metaphor; it is real. Everything has stopped.
The explosion of Ziyu's mech sent brilliant sparks flying, and the Zerg was immediately blown apart; there were no more Zerg in the vicinity, while Ziyu remained at the center of the explosion.
"What happened?" Ziyu could still move, while the nearby Zerg, debris from the explosion, and everything else could not move at all.
"Time has stopped; how do you feel? Of course, you are not affected by my time stop and can move freely... while my time stop encompasses... the entire universe."
A man's voice was calm yet pleasant, not deep but reassuring.
"Who are you? Show yourself!!" Ziyu looked around but saw nothing but Zerg.
A swirl of blue smoke appeared before coalescing into a man dressed in ancient attire, wearing a black robe with long hair cascading down—he looked like a handsome man.
"My name is Cang Jian, and you are called Ziyu, I know." Cang Jian had no technological devices but floated effortlessly in the air.
"These bugs are really annoying..." Cang Jian chuckled, casually sweeping his hand, causing the space ahead to twist instantly, directly annihilating the Nearby Zerg... and leaving no trace behind.
"You... are here to help me?" Ziyu asked tentatively.
"Of course! If I were here to kill you, would you still be able to talk?" Cang Jian replied with a smile. "But you are quite brave; at least you can die for the one you love."
"I beg you, senior, please save the people in the universe!" Ziyu immediately knelt in mid-air, pleading.
Ziyu knew that with Cang Jian's strength, not to mention a Star Domain's Zerg, even the entire universe's Zerg would be nothing to him.
"You must understand that everything exists for a reason; all developments are inevitable," Cang Jian said meaningfully. "Even my appearance here is destined."
"The existence of the Zerg is not without reason, and their demise is also inevitable. However, their destruction is not caused by me," Cang Jian stated. "Heaven has not granted me that power."
"What do you mean?" Ziyu felt that this man before her was definitely extraordinary.
"A million years ago, the Zerg emerged; this was merely a great calamity of life, and this time... it is a great calamity of the universe," Cang Jian explained. "This time, there will be no Precursor Race to solve problems for everyone; it will be one person..."
"One person? Are you joking? Only you can do it, but you don't care," Ziyu said with a bitter smile.
"It is you," Cang Jian said, taking a few steps forward. "If not, do you think I would bother saying so much to you?"
"If I let you enter a place where there is no technology, only Spiritual Energy, would you be willing to go there to gain greater power?" Cang Jian asked. "When you return, you'll be able to wipe out the entire Zerg."
"By the way, even if you live ten million years in that world, not a second will have passed in this world; I will keep this time locked."
"Are you sure?" Ziyu was somewhat skeptical. "Are you from that Cosmic Kingdom?"
"I am not from this universe, but it doesn't hurt to tell you." Cang Jian smiled and said, "However, I guarantee that the place I will take you is definitely within this universe, and you will surely be able to return."
"Why are you helping me?" Ziyu asked next.
"Why help you?" Cang Jian was taken aback. "You will naturally know this later... But for now, you have to choose: stay here or go with me?"
"Ziyu, your achievements are definitely not limited to this." Cang Jian said, "The future you, the powerful you, is beyond your imagination."
"How strong can I be..." Ziyu smiled bitterly. "I don't need to be very strong; as long as I can protect what I want to protect forever, that's enough..."
"Take me with you." Ziyu nodded.
Although if Cang Jian were deceiving Ziyu, Ye Ling and Zero, along with Di and the others would die, if Ziyu didn't leave, they would also die...
It was better to grasp at a straw.
"Alright, it's good that you've made your decision..." Cang Jian said. "The place I will take you is called the Endless Continent."
