Chapter 1055: Chapter 925: The Real Enemy

Lu Xiang had a plan.

One aspect of it was to fragment her power and scatter the pieces to the "outside world," and now was the first time she was explaining this age-old plan to anyone other than Song Lan.

After the Oasis incident, everything finally settled down.

"You mean you weren’t seriously injured, but you intentionally divided your power into 150 fragments?"

Shocked, "Nothingness" momentarily put aside his plot to poison the potato beef stew with Sachila.

The division of power was already ridiculous enough, but sending it to the "outside" which he could not touch for a while seemed no different from madness to him.

According to the parallel universe theory, it’s possible that at some time point unknown to them, "Corruption" would succeed in gathering all the energy of the fragments, and the plague he had created would sweep across the entire world.

"’Corruption’ is the best example, once they become aware of the fragments’ existence, they are bound to spend years trying to locate every single piece, which could take decades if they’re lucky."

In contrast, Lu Xiang seemed much calmer, even though she had lost her Spiritual Energy, she did not show disappointment or regret. She glanced at Song Lan, "This way, it will buy him enough time."

This was always an incredibly risky plan, betting all her chips on this Dumb Bird.

Betting that he could return here someday in the future.

"’Corruption’ was right about one thing; after the turmoil in the upper worlds, he did indeed vanish for quite a long time."

Even for a "monster" like Song Lan, the development of his own abilities was filled with the unknown, especially since he possessed the unprecedented power of the time series.

When different times and spaces intersect, the predestined fate will change.

The problem lay in the fact that when Song Lan first began to trace the trajectory of time lines, he did not know in which time space he would appear.

Maybe in the past, or perhaps a century later.

"To avoid him transporting himself to some strange temporal junction, I must reserve some safety measures."

"Safety measures?"

"To prevent the enemy from returning here before him."

"Are you talking about those wriggly big bugs?"

Nothingness was not familiar with the Gene Master.

At least during the outbreak of religion and machinery, the so-called Gene Masters were just small, insignificant players that neither side took seriously, these monsters driven by chaotic consciousness.

"No, it’s the being that drives it."

"You mean, besides us, there are others who survived that war?"

Nothingness’s succession of questions made Lu Xiang sigh deeply, while Song Lan kept his head down eating beef, quickly showing off several pieces of prime brisket while she explained.

She couldn’t help but remember the first time she brought up the matter to Song Lan.

Back then, he was as usual, lying in the garden that was originally hers, sunbathing. Once he got familiar, this Dumb Bird treated her garden as his own home, taking big naps in the dense flowers whenever he liked.

This habit had continued to this day.

Although she no longer had a garden, the couch in her office had been claimed by him and turned into his nest.

She knew Song Lan’s temperament well; initially, she hadn’t expected any response from him and treated it as if she were talking to a tree hollow.

"Do you remember who first introduced the concept ’destiny’ to the upper worlds?"

Nothingness considered carefully for a moment and then shook his head.

Caught off guard by Lu Xiang’s abrupt inquiry, he really couldn’t recall who brought up the topic, but it undeniably had a profound impact on the entire world and somehow broke the longstanding equilibrium between them and those mechanical beings.

Both sides needed Believers.

As the Third War drew to a close, everyone realized that if the war continued, they would all end up losers. Hence, the upper worlds once established a United Government with the machinery, adopting peaceful competition principles more appropriate for modern society.

Until "destiny" emerged and changed everything.

It was never a concrete entity, but it showed everyone the future in which they would defeat the machinery and usher in a new era.

Nothingness suddenly realized something, "Are you saying that the real enemy is ’destiny’?"

Previously, "Corruption" and his followers always had the new era on their lips, which was too much like those brainwashed by the omens of destiny before, "Is it a real person?"

"I think it’s more like a brand that, once marked, turns you into a puppet manipulated by it without even realizing it."

Destiny had foretold to the upper worlds the coming of the Saint Heir, believing he was the one who could help them win the war. After Song Lan arrived in the upper worlds, he indeed exhibited extraordinary traits, and everyone had high hopes for him.

But later on, this Dumb Bird’s actions greatly disappointed everyone.

No clear war strategy was presented, nor any plans to annex or annihilate the machinery’s religion.

All he did was to find a scenic spot to cultivate a peaceful life whenever he was free.

Oh, right.

Lu Xiang suddenly thought, it wasn’t entirely fair to say that—Song Lan had publically invited everyone to follow his example to live a slow-paced lifestyle, he widely promoted entertainment activities, enriching the life of the upper worlds. This way, it wouldn’t take them a few hundred years to outlast the famed workaholic machinery religion.
