Chapter 1213: Chapter 995: Forever The First Region_2

With the growth and expansion of the Devourers, creatures like it are destined not to live in landfills forever, even though it had changed under the influence of Song Lan, but the genes still dictated traits like escape, reproduction, and even aggression.

The most effortless solution would be to gather these creatures that have lost their "Father God" and destroy them collectively; both the Rebel Army and Barrosa Group had also made the necessary preparations.

"Last time I went to the Spiritual Energy Research Institute, Jiu inspired me... Old Lu, do you still remember the way to the upper world?"

Jiu confused him with another fellow townsman and divulged the plan to rebuild the upper world.

Perhaps this was the promise of destiny to him.

After the arrival of the new era, the lost upper world would be rebuilt, and the sparks of Spiritual Energy would once again bear brilliant fruits.

"It’s been uninhabited for a while, sending them there might allow them to create a civilization unique to them."

"That could be worth a try."

Lu Xiang felt that Song Lan always came up with some unexpectedly brilliant ideas, "But you realize what might happen if we do this, right? Once given the chance to reproduce, they will eventually create a civilization of their own."

And this was exactly what had sparked the past conflicts between the Church and the mechanical believers.

When those who firmly believed they were on the right path crossed paths, they would pick up arms and defend what they saw as "justice".

Perhaps, in a decade or so, the progeny of the Devourers might return here as missionaries to preach their civilization.

Although RT1 failed, the knowledge it left behind would certainly be utilized by artificial intelligence.

And then there’s Spiritual Energy.

Her legacy, bearing fruit in the "outside world", made it another breeding ground for Psychic Ability Users.

Gustav said, after all is settled, he might return to his impoverished, backward hometown to become a teacher.

Before that, Qi Yun, who had survived more than twenty years ago because of a butterfly’s flapping, had already taken a step ahead of everyone else in researching the essence of Spiritual Energy.

They firmly opposed the inhumane methods of the Purple Wisteria Academy and the Spiritual Energy Research Institute. Now the organization has taken shape, establishing corresponding institutes in various locations in the "outside world", not only teaching and guiding but also carrying another mission—to eliminate people’s jealousy and fear towards Psychic Ability Users and heal the wounds left by the Witch Hunt Movement as much as possible.

This was destined to be a long and difficult journey, but more and more people were becoming part of them.

Every day outside the United Government was full of dramatic changes.

The worries of the Councilors had always been destined to become a reality; the empire was bound to step down from the "throne" one day, otherwise, they wouldn’t have desperately trusted the new era promised by fate.

"I remember an old saying that kingship is not eternal."

The corners of Lu Xiang’s mouth lifted slightly, "Now even ’destiny’ has disappeared, no one can foresee the future anymore."

Dumb Bird always had a way of saying some "old sayings" she heard from somewhere, and sometimes she would take some of them to heart.

After much thought, perhaps only Song Lan could resist these temptations.

"There was never such a thing as fate."

Song Lan leaned back on the soft seat of the hover car, squinting his eyes.

This soft pillow was something he had strongly requested Lu Xiang add, and hitching a ride on Lu Xiang’s hover car had become one of his habits since the Counter-Intelligence Department and H1 are just a street apart.

"You can think of it as a boss who keeps drawing big pictures for his employees, telling you that if you do as he says, you will reap many benefits. His promises might come true one day, but all of it is ultimately for himself."

Whether it’s the past desire to acquire his abilities or now promising everyone the coming of a new era.

This also matched the saying widely spread by the United Government.

Here, the company is always the winner.

"If that’s the case, you’re actually overthrowing a ruthless boss."

"That’s one way to look at it, this really is a great achievement, so I’ve decided to take a nap to reward myself."

Song Lan’s narrowed eyes finally closed completely.

He was never a person who worried about hypotheticals, nor did he fret over future uncertainties, as that was purely self-induced anxiety.

Lu Xiang stared at him for quite a while, and after his breathing stabilized into a steady rhythm indicating he was fast asleep, he let Song Lan lean against his shoulder.

There was still a lot of time left.

The future was even longer.

...

Soon after arriving home, the urgent ringtone of the cellphone echoed.

The name displayed was a familiar yet headache-inducing one.

Secretary Wicks resumed the battlefield.

Through the phone, one could hear the uncontrollable excitement in his voice as he proudly described his "ultimate double-agent" tactic.

Wicks claimed that quitting his job at the Review Meeting was all a ruse, aimed to confuse Zero and seize the opportunity to get close to her to steal firsthand information.

Just moments ago, he brought back the incident that occurred beneath the military tech building to the Review Meeting and also found Zero who had fallen into a coma, and with a clever excuse, he managed to distract Wild Bone and took control of this traitor.

The anesthetic would last for quite some time, enough to assist the Review Meeting in completing this unprecedented "nation restoration plan".

Although he wasn’t present at the scene, it was Song Lan who he had taken to the military tech.

Later, more than one person witnessed Song Lan taking the elevator back to the ground floor, and footage from the prosthetic hospital also surfaced showing Song Lan holding his nose and receiving treatment.

All these signs proved one thing—Song Lan had won.

Even though he left without drawing attention, the mere fact he was alive meant everything, and the security bureau’s investigation team he organized confirmed all of Wicks’ speculations.

The Black Hand hidden behind Zero was utterly doomed, and now was the moment for them to sound the counterattack horn.

"And you, Minister Lu, you are the Review Meeting’s sword! I hope you can come to the Counter-Intelligence Department immediately, I need to discuss our next strategic deployment with you! Oh, and Mr. Song Lan please pass along that the Review Meeting extends its sincere condolences for his injuries, but we believe that for a brave warrior like him, even a broken nose is not a severe injury, he will surely return to the battlefield immediately."

Wicks seemed to have completely forgotten his previously frosty relationship with Song Lan, he prattled on, "We must seize the moment to eliminate Zero’s remaining forces, this is certainly a grand achievement, and the United Government will surely award both of you with peace medals, and your names will surely be engraved on the United Government’s Hero Monument."

A new boss appeared!

Masters of making empty promises, but Lu Xiang, who had already been seasoned from workplace experiences, tossed the phone onto the bedside table after hearing the second sentence, letting Wicks’ incessant voice fill the entire bedroom.

For the first time, she appreciated the benefits of Song Lan’s carefree approach.

Overtime was out of the question.

However, lying in bed at that moment, Song Lan’s gaze strayed far away, constantly trying to communicate the importance of work with Lu Xiang through his eyes—especially during this critical period.

The main reason he did this was probably because when he woke up, he found himself wrapped up in white bandages, unable to move in bed, and this time, even his mouth was silenced.

According to Lu Xiang, she had also learned some emergency responses at Morning Star, all those were necessary measures prepared for Song Lan’s better recovery.

"...Minister Lu, are you listening?"

"I’m listening."

As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Xiang’s eyes sparkled brilliantly.

She bent down, supported herself with her hands on either side of Song Lan’s neck, and licked her lips with lingering taste.

"So what do you think?"

"I have a stomach ache today, I took a sick leave."
