Eastern Base City, Xueling’s house.

“Brother-in-law!” Lingling’s voice was laced with sobs as she instantly pounced on him.

Wang Ye was shocked.

It felt strange. He was clearly hugging Xiao Qin, but it was as if he was hugging Xueling…

“What’s wrong? Tell me slowly.” Wang Ye consoled.

This was the first time he had seen Lingling like this.

She was always smiling and impish. It was rare for her to have such an emotional breakdown.

“I can’t sense my body!” Lingling’s first sentence, which sounded like she was about to break into tears, shocked Wang Ye.

What did she mean?

Was Xueling dead?

Then what was going on?

Was Lingling still alive?

“Take your time. Tell me everything that happened after you were imprisoned in the small black room.” Wang Ye’s expression was solemn as he pulled Lingling to sit down.

“Okay.” Lingling wiped her tears and sniffled.

It was clearly Xiao Qin’s body, but her actions were completely different.

“After 1 was locked up in the small black room, they didn’t do anything to me. They just kept me there. Then, after a few days, they suddenly opened the door and took me out.” Lingling recalled.

“Were you alone?” Wang Ye asked.

“No, there were more than ten of us.” Lingling thought for a moment.

“You said that there were more than a dozen people locked in the small black room with you, right?” Wang Ye said.

“About 50 or 60.” Lingling hummed.

“What were the characteristics of those dozen?” Wang Ye asked again.

“They were all very good-looking,” Lingling thought carefully.

Wang Ye’s heart sank. “Continue.”

Lingling nodded. “At that time, a very beautiful woman came. She was wearing a phoenix crown and a long red dress, just like the imperial concubines on TV. She seemed to have a high status. There were many people behind her. Then, she chose three out of the dozen of us.”

“Other than you, what kind of people did they choose?” Wang Ye asked.

“A delicate-looking young man and a very pretty young lady.”

“Did they say anything?” Wang Ye asked.

“I couldn’t understand.” Lingling shook her head.

Wang Ye nodded.

It should be the human cosmic universal language.

When he searched the Demon Princess’s memories, he heard some, but most of the other party’s memories had been in the common language of the demon race.

“And then?” Wang Ye said.

“Nothing else.” Lingling shook her head in shock.

?

That was it?

“What’s your last memory?” Wang Ye asked.

Lingling pursed her lips and tried to recall. “That beautiful woman who looked like a noble consort. She was so noble and beautiful, and her temperament was very unique. She stood in front of me, her phoenix eyes soul-snatching, and 1 couldn’t help but like her.”

Wang Ye thought for a moment. “How’s your consciousness now? Are you injured or does something feel wrong?”

Lingling shook her head. “I’m not sure either. I think 1 was injured, but I didn’t feel any injuries when I woke up.”

“You can’t feel Xue at all, right?” Wang Ye asked.

Lingling hummed.

“You still remember everything that happened before, right?” Wang Ye asked.

Lingling nodded hesitantly.

“It’s okay. Don’t worry. Xue will be fine.” Wang Ye consoled.

“Really?” Lingling’s beautiful eyes widened.

“Of course, Xue is so smart. How could anything happen to her?” Wang Ye gently held Lingling’s hand. “You’re tired too. Take a rest first. We’ll see if there’s any progress in the next few days. Then we’ll discuss it.”

“Hmm.” Lingling looked at Wang Ye and said abruptly, “Thank you,

Brother-in-law. I’m much better. Also, I’m not a child. You don’t have to coax

me.”

After saying that, she glared at Wang Ye before returning Xiao Qin’s body.

Uh… He had forgotten that she could read minds.

Yu Shuiqin’s pupils changed.

She was back.

“Wang Ye, my sister… Is she alright?” Yu Shuiqin could not hide her worry.

Although Lingling was in charge, Xiao Qin could hear the conversation and sense it. She would not fall asleep.

In contrast, the other way round would not work because if Lingling was in an awakened state, regardless of whether she was in control of the body or not, it would consume a large amount of Xiao Qin’s energy.

“What do you think?” Wang Ye looked at Xiao Qin.

“I don’t know…” Yu Shuiqin avoided his gaze and lowered her head.

She was very smart. She could roughly guess what had happened.

Wang Ye sighed.

Basically, it was about right.

“Xueling shouldn’t be dead. There are two possibilities,” Wang Ye said. “The first is that Xue cut off the connection with Lingling on her own accord because her body is currently in control and she can do it. The other possibility is… It was forcefully interrupted by an even stronger external force.”

“What do you mean?” Yu Shuiqin’s heart tightened.

Wang Ye said, “The phoenix-crowned woman’s ability is very strong. It’s far stronger than Xueling’s. She might have used a Spirit Spell or a control-type ability spell that’s more advanced than the Spirit Spell. Then… She enslaved Xueling.”

Bang!

Yu Shuiqin’s face was pale and she was on the verge of collapsing.

Although she had vaguely guessed it, it felt completely different when Wang Ye said it.

“From the process and scene that Xueling described, it was as if goods were being selected. To be honest, the three that were chosen in the end seem to have become servants,” Wang Ye said. “They should be considered relatively lucky.”

“Lucky?” Yu Shuiqin was stunned.

“Yes. The others might not even have it as good as servants,” Wang Ye said. “Henchmen, death warriors, slaves, anything is possible. At least servants can stay alive. With a good master, there is still a glimmer of hope.”

He sighed in his heart.

He wondered what was going on with Yao and Brother Xia.

“We are all humans, why…” Yu Shuiqin’s eyes were filled with anger and confusion.

“There’s no reason. Perhaps this is the true face of the cosmic. The strong prey on the weak. You can’t expect others to be kind.” Wang Ye looked at her. “Ever since the cosmic monsters descended and the apocalypse erupted, we should have given up all hope.”

“Would a kind high-grade cosmic civilization use such a method to select human elites? To them, we are just ants. Who would care about the lives of ants? This is just like humans raising a large number of wild beasts to engage in duels in colosseums. Those who stand out from the crowd will become commodities. The higher the potential, the prettier the appearance, the higher the value.”

Yu Shuiqin bit her lips until they turned purple. She could not accept this reality.

“Humans are born with all kinds of desires, including the desire to rule.” Wang Ye was very calm. “There’s nothing to be surprised about. One day, when the Blue Planet becomes powerful, countless forces will go to search for and rule other weak human planets too.”

“Don’t think about all this. Now, we can sever our useless hope. We have to break out of this situation! We can only rely on ourselves! Otherwise, the Blue Planet will fall into endless darkness.”

Capital Base City.

At Lin Yuewei’s house, Wang Ye told the entire story from beginning to end to Lin Yuewei, the current leader of Huaxia.

Lin Yuewei stared at him, unable to calm down for a long time.

After a while.

“Why are you telling me?” Lin Yuewei sighed.

“Inheritance.” Wang Ye smiled and held her cold hands. “If 1 fail, at least I have a successor, just like Xueling and me.”

Do you need me to keep it a secret?” Lin Yuewei looked at Wang Ye with a warm expression, her heart filled with warmth.

The fact that Wang Ye could tell her this big secret meant that he valued her very much.

“Consider it yourself. Actually, many people have more or less guessed it,” Wang Ye said. “Even the demonic humans have guessed it. It’s just that they might not know that reality is so cruel.”

“Because of the unknown, we have hope. Perhaps this is the only way to be happy,” Lin Yuewei said softly.

“I’ve never lost hope, including now.” Wang Ye laughed.

“What do you plan to do?” Lin Yuewei asked.

List the problems, solve the problems, and gamble everything.” Wang Ye looked determined. “Even if I fail in the end, 1 can still give some inspiration to those who come after me. Isn’t this how Huaxia developed and grew step by step?”

“Where is the red light?” Lin Yuewei looked at Wang Ye.

“The Moon and Moon Web,” Wang Ye said. “The two might even be the same existence. Let’s assume that Moon Web is a supercomputer. The network covers the entire Blue Planet. Human Evolvers are connected to it through their consciousness, so it can naturally monitor every human Evolver.”

“No one can hide,” Lin Yuewei said.

“Yes.” Wang Ye nodded. “But the red light works on a trigger mechanism. It won’t casually take away Evolvers. Even someone as strong as Death God Nante hasn’t been taken away.”

“Will someone be monitoring us?” Lin Yuewei thought carefully.

“I don’t know, but even if there is,” Wang Ye said. “It might not be able to change the red light mechanism. Tyree killed the Great Devil and was taken away in Nante’s place. Hyena killed the Demon Princess and was taken away in my place. If someone was monitoring us, they would have captured us long ago.”

“The red light is a programmed mechanism. It can’t distinguish, so we have a chance. The high-grade cosmic civilization that controls us also controls countless planets, and we are just one of them. They won’t pay too much attention to us.”

Lin Yuewei nodded. “I know your goal is the Moon, but how are you going to get there? A high-grade cosmic civilization must have set up a defense mechanism, so rockets and spaceships can’t reach it.”

“I know. That’s why Xueling wanted to leave Blue Planet by breaking through past a perfection Evolver back then,” Wang Ye said. “After one’s life form evolves to the cosmic level and one becomes one with the world, one can survive in the cosmic without consumption.”

Lin Yuewei’s beautiful eyes flickered. “You want to use some method to hide from the red light’s detection?”

“I’m not sure yet.” Wang Ye pondered. “But there’s a special case now. The Sea King Mermaid Demon has broken through to the cosmic level, yet it didn’t trigger the red light mechanism. This means that the red light doesn’t target demons.”

“According to what you said, Moon Web covers the entire Blue Planet,” Lin Yuewei said. “Is there an unknown red light trigger mechanism that prevents any Evolvers from leaving?”

“That’s possible,” Wang Ye pondered. “We’ll know once we try.”

“How?” Lin Yuewei looked at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye smiled and pointed at his watch. “Before I came to see you, 1 just received a message. Guess who it was?”

“Samuel?” Lin Yuewei’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, it’s him.” Wang Ye smiled and nodded..
