Chapter 1212: Chapter 995: The Eternal First Region

The hovercar, emblazoned with the insignia of the Counter-Intelligence Department, slowly moved away from the airspace above the prosthetic hospital. Looking down through the window, evening was about to set in; the people in the skyscrapers were still busy at work. Despite various upheavals, the city seemed to have changed little.

The First Region was still The First Region.

The Dumb Bird was still that Dumb Bird.

"Does it hurt?"

Lu Xiang gently touched Song Lan’s braced nose with his left hand, watching him bare his teeth and grimace; suddenly, he found it somewhat amusing.

"It’s better."

"The bridge of the nose is broken, it’s going to hurt for at least five more days."

"I’ve thought it through already."

During the time it took to leave after his appointment, Song Lan had already planned out the next few days, "Starting today, I’m staying in bed and not getting up."

The weather was turning chilly; becoming one with the warm bedding seemed like a good idea.

Five days isn’t long, but it’s not short either, so the best way to deal with injuries is to lie in bed for three to five days, sleeping deeply and soundly. Pain would pass quickly in sleep, and after the recovery period, he would be good as new.

The most dangerous street gangs in The First Region had been wiped out, so he no longer needed to worry about being attacked by street thugs on his way home from work.

It was foreseeable that for the next hundred years, no one would lurk in the shadows, targeting him as an imaginary foe focused on defeating him.

"Yeah, they won’t need you anymore; they’ve already locked in on all the Devourers’ locations. Without the ’Father God’, His offspring have all fallen into a state of confusion."

It turned out that the thought link was a massive deception; the consciousness of those individual entities was still connected to these "receivers", just that the one who used to command them was no more.

That dark energy cube is the last trace left by the "New God" in this world.

Although he already had the answer in mind, Lu Xiang still asked symbolically, "What do you plan to do with the offspring of the Gene Master? This is a rare opportunity."

The RT1 had indeed left some incredible legacy.

Whoever controls the thought link would be holding the whole world in their hands. With Zero at the helm, the old Review Meeting has fallen, the Shadow looming over the United Government is gradually dissipating, and now is the time to rebuild from the ruins.

"If you can make proper use of this legacy, you could truly change the world into what you desire."

The far-off sky was painted by the warmth of the setting sun into an enchanting scene; higher up, airships began to operate, their multicolored radiance adding a different flair to the picture.

This "final battle" marked the endpoint of old grudges and the prologue to a new era.

Perhaps the only unexpected outcome for the opposition was that it was Song Lan who ultimately parted with the past and stepped into the future.

"Like, you can vigorously promote your Salted Fish Theory, plunging the whole world into idleness, and oh, you could also freely adjust work hours, legitimizing absenteeism."

"Let’s not."

There was utter resistance on Song Lan’s face, "I’ve always been curious, to actually have world domination as one’s goal."

To him, it sounded plainly like a form of torture.

"Then you better think this through because you only get this chance once. Once these ’receivers’ are damaged, there’s no possibility of them ever being repaired."

For those still active in the "outside world", their answer has always been the same—for decades, they had striven to free themselves from the control of the United Government, with freedom becoming a creed many were willing to die for.

"But now that you mention it, I do remember, how does that old saying go?"

"Hmm?"

"Oh, right, there must always be a Gene Master."

Song Lan said.

The social structure of the Gene Master and its creations are unlike humans or artificial intelligence; they have always adhered to the law of the jungle, where superiors have absolute Dominance over subordinates, even thought is highly centralized, conceptually similar to the individual bugs with their hive mind. Once they lose the control of the Gene Master, these progeny of the Gene Master scattered around the world could form a significant threat amidst chaos and instinct.

To avoid having to deal with various Aberration crises over the next decade or more, Song Lan felt it necessary to elevate a new Gene Master.

And he already had a suitable candidate in mind, "The Devourer we found in the wild is quite good; Little Devourer not only passed the test this time but its eagerness to learn means it will surpass its ’Father God’ and lead its group towards a bright future."

"That leaves the last question; where do you plan to settle them?"

According to the Counter-Intelligence Department’s recent intelligence, the Gene Master had prepared for a long war, before implementing its plans, it created a batch of offspring skilled in combat under various environments, some are as large as skyscrapers, covered with deadly weapons at the ready.

Even if the new Gene Master could suppress them, preventing them from attacking humans, people would not be able to live in close quarters with these abnormal creatures.

And this was also a historical legacy issue they left in the Seventeenth Region.
