Chapter 166: The Ancient Blue Planet I Can’t Return To
When Luo Tian mentioned the system, Meng Ke immediately thought of the system novel she had read before traveling through time. Is it that kind of system?
Meng Ke was unsure and asked Luo Tian: "What kind of system are you talking about?"
"It's the kind that gives rewards for completing tasks, and can also turn ordinary people into talented people."
Meng Ke's eyes became deep. She didn't think that pie would fall from the sky. Even if it was exchanged for a task, it could not be an equal deal given the huge disparity in strength between the two sides. The most likely scenario was unilateral exploitation or even enslavement.
Meng Ke asked casually, "Do you have a system?"
Luo Tian shook his head; "I didn't, but when I was out with Brother Qi today, I overheard Brother Qi chatting with someone called System."
"You think there's something wrong?"
If Luo Tian didn't feel something was wrong, he wouldn't have pulled himself aside to talk in private as soon as he got home.
Luo Tian squatted on the ground and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, holding the energy stone in his hand to feed Shui Shui. Before Shui Shui's mycelium touched the edge of the stone, a mycelium grew across and swept away the energy stone. In the blink of an eye, the stone turned into powder.
Shui Shui was angry and resentful, and she lashed the ground with her mycelium, but she didn't dare to fight with Xiao Hong, mainly because she couldn't beat her.
Luo Tian quickly took out another energy stone and fed it to Shui Shui. This time Xiao Hong did not grab it. Xiao Hong was very smart. After all, Shui Shui was his own mushroom, so he couldn't be too aggressive.
"So you went to see him these days just to see if there was anything wrong with him?"
Luo Tian nodded. He had finally made a like-minded friend and wanted to prove to his family that he had made the right choice of friend.
Meng Ke was drawing on the ground with a pear branch. "Now that we've confirmed he has a problem, what are you going to do?"
"I think Brother Qi might not know. I heard that many schools on remote planets don't popularize the history of mission systems. Brother Qi probably doesn't know that the Zero Clan likes to disguise themselves as systems to deceive people."
"Have you tested him?"
"Yes! I found an opportunity to popularize this knowledge to Brother Qi."
Some ancestors of the ancient Blue Star were deceived by the Zero Clan in this way, which led to social instability, war, and misery for the people.
"So what did he say after you explained it to him?"
"He said he had a system, but he hadn't let him do any missions, so he asked me to keep it a secret."
Meng Ke touched Luo Tiangou's head in appreciation: "Not bad! You even remember to share with me."
Luo Tian grabbed Meng Ke's hand and pleaded, "Wife, please don't tell Ouyang Kong and the others about this. I've already promised Brother Qi not to tell anyone about this."
Meng Ke nodded seriously: "Don't worry! I won't tell!"
As soon as she turned around, Meng Ke let Luo Tian know that society was dangerous and was the first to report this to Ouyang Kong.
Anyway, she didn't tell anyone, she just sent a text message, so it doesn't count as breaking the promise.
Ouyang Kong was ruthless and quickly found the system in Qi Shanguang's brain. He sent someone to invite him to a special department for tea.
When Ouyang Kong came back that night, Meng Ke avoided Luo Tian and pulled him into the study room and asked, "How is the investigation into Qishan going?"
"There's a system in his optical brain that was recently hacked. The source of the intrusion has been found. It was done by another anchor who was completely corrupted by the Zero Clan. Preliminary interrogation results show that the other person is also an adventure anchor, less famous than Qishan. In order to defeat Qishan, he made a deal with the Zero Clan."
"I didn't expect that the human race and the Zero Clan have such a deep blood feud that some people would actually take the initiative to make deals with the Zero Clan."
"The status of the interstellar human race is rising. Now that the Zerg have been wiped out, many young people have grown up under the bright starlight and are so well protected by the Alliance that they have no idea of the sacrifices and efforts of their ancestors."
Meng Ke sat in Ouyang Kong's arms, playing with his slender, powerful hands. Hearing the sadness in his tone, she turned around, hugged his waist tightly, and asked, "Why don't you include the history of humanity's suffering in interstellar migration as a compulsory course?"
Wouldn’t it help us go further if future generations of mankind remember the suffering and lessons learned?
"Because Ancient Blue Star is still there, the higher-ups don't want anyone to disturb it, so they deliberately blurred this part."
Meng Ke's heart trembled. What did that mean? Gulan Star was still there? Was it the Gulan Star with the Flower Family before she traveled through time? I really wanted to go! I really wanted to see it! Maybe, maybe she wouldn't have to abandon her husband and children, and could see her parents again? She really missed her parents.
Ouyang Kong didn't know why his wife burst into tears after he said that, until she asked, "Can I go to Gulan Star to take a look?"
Ouyang Kong then realized that his young wife's soul had been confirmed to be the ancestor of mankind, and it was normal for the ancestor to want to return to his homeland.
But, I can’t go back to Gulan Star.
Meng saw that Ouyang Kong was silent, so she sniffed and said nervously, "I'll just take a look, even secretly. I promise not to disturb the people there."
Thinking of something, Meng Ke's tears fell, and her voice trembled a little: "Gulanxing, is there anyone else?"
Ouyang Kong knew this: "Yes! But the Ancient Blue Planet is sealed, so it is difficult to find. Even if we find it, we can't land on the planet."
"Seal the star? Why seal the star?"
"To protect those without psychic powers, the Zero Clan was too rampant at the time, and those without psychic powers were vulnerable to them. Only a portion of our ancestors evolved psychic powers and could fly into the interstellar space. The others, unable to withstand the harsh interstellar environment, had to remain on Ancient Blue Planet. Humanity had no way to resist the Zero Clan at the time and could only weaken them through suicide. Later, humans established the Holy Beast Kingdom in the interstellar space. The Holy Beast Kingdom developed an instrument that could detect the Zero Clan and the Water Clan. They brought this instrument back to Ancient Blue Planet and carried out a comprehensive elimination of these two races. Those parasitized by the Zero Clan at that time had no choice but to die, and those who died were all elites. The situation was extremely tragic."
There are always people who don't want to die, and want to live even if they are parasitized and controlled. However, the warriors sent back to their homeland by the Holy Beast Kingdom at that time were extremely ruthless. They had the mental power to crush everyone on the Ancient Blue Star, and they also had weapons that were thousands of years advanced. They directly and forcefully executed all the parasites.
The Zero Clan deceives ordinary people in the name of the system and uses parasitism to control those in power. Most of the parasites who were executed were those in power, and they were executed on the spot in front of their relatives.
The seeds of hatred were planted in the hearts of the parasite's relatives, until a large number of people with spiritual powers followed the warriors of the Holy Beast Kingdom into the interstellar space, and this seed gradually grew with the passage of time.
Eventually, this group of human descendants separated from the Holy Beast Kingdom and formed an alliance.
Meng Ke doesn’t care about history now. She just wants to know why the star was sealed and whether she can still enter after it is sealed.
Ouyang Kong knew Meng Ke wanted to return to his homeland, so he paused for a moment before speaking: "After the star is sealed, we can't enter, even with the power of the alliance, we can't enter."
Before Meng Ke could ask why, Ouyang Kong explained, "I've heard there are some terrifying beings on Ancient Blue Star. They can use instruments to detect the planet's location and cause warships to lose their way. The Holy Beast Nation once accidentally found Ancient Blue Star, but couldn't enter. Ancient Blue Star is protected by a mysterious force, and warships heading towards it will pass through the star, preventing them from landing."
Meng Ke quickly began brainstorming: "Something as serious as sealing a star shouldn't happen suddenly. Also, there must be a reason why the warriors from the Holy Beast Nation were so decisive when returning to their homeland. If you combine these two things, there's only one possibility."
