Chapter 989: Chapter 987: As Expected, They’re All Big Black Eggs
"....Is there a ’landlord’ on Blue Star?" Master Fuli was speechless, his eyes wide as he looked at Sun Xingyao.
"Wait.....do you have any evidence for what you’re saying? Or any basis?"
Zhang Lin, snapping out of his daze, asked Sun Xingyao somewhat absent-mindedly.
The ’landlord’ Sun Xingyao spoke of had already transcended the realm of science, belonging to something humans cannot comprehend.
Because of Master Fuli’s validation, Zhang Lin believed in what Sun Xingyao said, but...how would this report be written?
The news of a ’landlord’ existing on Blue Star, placed in the upper levels of Xia Country and its research institutes, would be akin to a nuclear explosion, a matter the Security Bureau would investigate thoroughly at any cost.
"The ’landlord’ itself is near the earth’s core, so why prove its existence?"
Sun Xingyao shook his head and said: "I know you might find this hard to believe. After all, when us Dragon People first encountered the ’landlord’, it took us several shocked years to barely accept this reality."
"But you need not pay attention to the landlord, nor should you be hostile towards its existence."
"Its body cannot emerge from underground, but occasionally it feeds the current civilization some snacks to help Blue Star civilization grow faster."
Sun Xingyao roughly explained some incidents where the ’landlord’ had manifested on Blue Star through the Power of Will.
The Second Epoch was at its starting point, competing alongside all Exotic Beasts on Blue Star for the top of the food chain.
Initially, Dragon People were extremely weak, so much so that even some Exotic Beasts could slaughter a Dragon People’s tribe.
The first turning point in the rise of Dragon-man Civilization was finding the site left by the flesh engineer.
At first, all Dragon People thought it was their clan’s good luck, until the Second Epoch was buried in history. After seeing the ’landlord’, they understood their rise was not by accident.
That site was sent before them by the ’landlord’ through earthquakes.
"Just like I said before, the landlord can see visions we cannot comprehend."
"Or potential and other things, so the landlord helped us a bit at the beginning." Sun Xingyao looked towards Master Fuli and Zhang Lin, saying:
"As long as you are willing to go to the stars to seek the truth and origin of Spiritual Particles, the landlord is your most trustworthy and reliable ally..."
The landlord, although mysterious, is, plainly speaking, a special Spirit Beast.
The landlord also needs Spiritual Particles. If the Spiritual Particles on Blue Star vanish, it will fall into slumber.
The entire Blue Star is its shell; there’s nothing on Blue Star that it holds dear.
The only thing the landlord seeks is to have the tiny folks living on it go to the stars, find the source and truth of Spiritual Particles, and bring them back to Blue Star.
"About what you just asked..." Sun Xingyao looked at Master Fuli and said:
"I cannot comprehend the landlord’s thought processes, but it specifically instructed us to take care of the two little foxes – I feel it might be related to their offspring..."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Master Fuli furrowed his brows and said: "According to our investigation, at the time you took away the two Red Foxes, Master Fuli was still squatting in the mountains."
Sun Xingyao’s narration of the whole matter actually didn’t have any major issue.
The only logical problem was that the starting time of the whole event didn’t match at all.
At that time, I was in the mountains eating spicy strips, showing no special signs.
Why did the ’landlord’ notice me and only take away Fox Father and Fox Mother while leaving me on the mountain?
"Maybe it’s because of the level of Spiritualization?" Sun Xingyao said to Master Fuli:
"Even us Dragon People, at the height of our prosperity, still couldn’t control the Spiritualization level of newborns."
"After the Dragon People are born, to put it in terms you can easily understand, all are premature and need around forty years to gradually mature."
"But among these newborns, there exist special individuals known as geniuses, who complete Spiritualization and enter the Primordial phase upon birth."
"The little fox’s son might have received the landlord’s favor because of this."
Sun Xingyao said seriously: "Special individuals like this in our time were groomed with focus."
"Little Fox couldn’t care for such a genius and might even affect their growth."
"Of course, these are just my guesses. If your Security Bureau really wants to know the reason, wait until the landlord fully awakens in a few years and ask it then!"
Having finished speaking, Sun Xingyao did not wish to continue answering questions about Fox Father and Fox Mother.
How could she know what the ’landlord’ was thinking?
She was not curious about this issue; if the Security Bureau cared, they could ask themselves.
She came out to eradicate fungi, conveniently doing a good deed, but instead of receiving good returns, she faced a major investigation from the Security Bureau.
"Alright then!"
Master Fuli nodded lightly, not pressing further on the issue regarding Fox Father and Fox Mother.
The opposite party had already proven they had no malice; it was simply due to some unknown reasons a benevolent act was undertaken.
However.
After hearing Sun Xingyao’s introduction about the ’landlord’, Ansheng was increasingly certain of one thing.
The ’treasure’ Shasha and her team wanted to find was definitely this landlord born of the earth.
From Blue Star’s perspective, the group embodying perfect blue life forms is undoubtedly the most promising group on Blue Star and also the group closest to the truth about Spiritual Particles.
Moreover.
The landlord’s traits perfectly match those spoken of in the miracle testament where the treasure only exists on Blue Star, all perfection must return to Blue Star before Spiritual Particles vanish.
The landlord cannot take form, nor leave Blue Star; it needs Spiritual Particles to maintain its awakening.
The ’landlord’ and [Perfect] interests align, and both are living entities of Blue Star, the landlord is unlikely to watch Perfect fall into a crash from a lack of Spiritual Particles.
It’s a pity....time and fate.
Perfect is too close to the truth, too far from home.
If they truly can make it back, perhaps they can really gain the landlord’s protection and can be the ones to first welcome the [New Miracle] embarking on a journey.
The ’landlord’ is somewhat like Blue Star civilization’s save point, even describable as a special sanctuary.
"Even though Shasha and her team should technically be considered the eldest child of Blue Star civilization....."
"But I prefer to call them big dark eggs."
"Everything unlucky seems to hit them, and along the way, drags those mischievous dragons into the ditch."
"I guess the ’landlord’ is dumbfounded, huh?" Ansheng thought with an odd expression.
If one were to put themselves in another’s shoes, Ansheng felt he might be able to lift the coffin and climb out from underground to give the two rebellious sons of the First and Second Epochs a heavy whack across the head and a solid kick to the butt.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"If not, I’ll pull the plug!" Sun Xingyao glanced at the lines on her body, speaking with disdain.
Security Bureau....dirty-minded!
Knowing full well I’m not sick, yet deliberately scheduled so many tests for me and shaved my head.
It’s practically rotten to the core.
