Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?
Chapter 457 - Chapter 457 Chapter 459 Vague Danger Warning

Chapter 457: Chapter 459: Vague Danger Warning Chapter 457: Chapter 459: Vague Danger Warning The Gendaya Mother Goddess’s indirect salvation did not affect Chen Mo and the others; the Mad God was simply too far away from them, the Mad God’s brilliance was unable to reach them across the thousands of miles, so how could it easily spread.

At this time, the entire Zijing Mountain Territory was not only continuing industrial progress but was actually developing the whole place at an even faster rate.

After some investigation, it became clear that whether it was a hard landing or a soft one, the outcome would be the same; the only difference would be dying sooner or later.

Lack of sunshine was the current problem, and an ecological collapse was the impending challenge.

So, the only way to save one’s life was to overtake on the bend as quickly as possible.

For instance, cultivating crops that can adapt to a new environment; as long as food production is ensured, many issues would be comfortably resolved.

“Many genetically modified crops have failed; most were rejected due to incompatibility, only a small part survived. If it weren’t for the time pressure, we could solely rely on the territory’s crop production to survive until the ecosystem recovers,” said Duke Baishuang with resignation.

Though the ecological environment had collapsed, it would also recover eventually. Even without the sun, fauna and flora would naturally select the fittest and evolve on their own until they adapted to this world.

By then, they could completely rebuild the Gendaya civilization in the dark and even bide their time in quiet seclusion until the ecological restoration allows them to soar.

But clearly, things would not go as they wished. They knew that the downfall of the sun, that Divine Country, was not a natural process but a result of sabotage. This meant that there was an external enemy.

They could wait, but would the enemy wait for them? Impossible, so they had to rely on saving themselves.

First of all, they needed to solve the food issue. Once that was taken care of, they could expand wildly, which would awaken many more people into the Three-eyed Tribe, thereby increasing their allies.

It was a cycle, but whether it was a vicious cycle leading to doom or a virtuous one giving them a chance at life, no one knew.

“It won’t be that easy, after all, it’s a new project. Though the heritage contains the necessary knowledge, in reality, we can only experiment within the framework provided by our predecessors. Creating something new comes at a considerable cost,” Chen Mo said.

They had received the heritage, but that didn’t mean they had fully grasped it. They were like students learning by rote, needing ample time for proper comprehension. Industrial level was one such process of assimilation, but now there wasn’t time to fully assimilate; they had to take one step at a time.

“Have you heard any strange noises recently, like something related to the Cradle Plan?”

Suddenly, Chen Mo changed the topic with a grave expression.

“No, have you?” Duke Baishuang looked surprised. That shouldn’t be possible because of the Mind Network–if Chen Mo really heard something, then all of the Three-eyed Tribe would have heard it.

Such sounds were generally not actual noises, more like mental suggestions or psychic fluctuations. With the Mind Network in place, they were nearly immune to such attacks. After all, the network allowed minds to connect, offering a joint resistance to similar assaults.

“It’s very vague, and for now I can’t quite understand what’s being said, but it conveys a sense of caution against danger as if to warn me to be mindful of the threat,” Chen Mo contemplated briefly before summarizing.

“Danger… What exactly is the Cradle Plan, to create such a terrifying existence? How did it ever pass the scrutiny of the Mind Network back in the day?” Duke Baishuang’s brow furrowed increasingly. He didn’t know what was warning Chen Mo of danger, but he certainly hadn’t felt it.

If only the message were clearer, then they’d know what danger to be cautious of. After all, their entire Main Material Plane was pretty dangerous currently, even their domain wasn’t an exception.

Mad gods and crazed Transcendents; just these two threats alone were enough to put their domain at risk.

In recent times, they had killed many crazed Transcendents drawn by the light sources, fortunately weak enough to be defeated and dropped Treasure Boxes, albeit only Bronze, Black Iron, clearly illustrating their strength.

“Not sure. I don’t even know who’s warning me, maybe in time it will become clearer, but I am perplexed as to why I’m being singled out,” said Chen Mo, pretending not to be alarmed would be a lie, since no one else had received it, it was clearly directed at him.

“Perhaps it’s because of your special identity, if possible, next time you hear it, try asking about the issue of authority,” the Duke of White Frost said. “If you could gain complete control over the entire territory, our lives would be much easier.”

As long as they could obtain complete, no, even just construction authority, they would be able to weather this difficult time. If they built enough resource structures, then food would definitely not be a problem.

Even reclaiming the original lost land of the territory was no issue.

Previously, Chen Mo had made concessions to cope, ceding much of his vast territory, leaving only the size of an earl’s domain, which led to a shortage of various buildings.

Now it was possible to reclaim them, but reclaiming them would not mean much without the corresponding buildings; they would just be ordinary pieces of land. Only through these panels could they fully grasp control, but sadly, they had no authority.

“I’ll try it out,” Chen Mo reflected for a moment, thinking it was a good suggestion.

What else could he do, after all? Nowadays, if there was an opportunity, he had to give it a go. Who knew, it might just work.

“By the way, has there been any progress with the medicine or medical treatment for memory loss?” Chen Mo asked another question.

He was deeply troubled by his own memory loss.

“It’s still the same; although we have previous medical knowledge, no matter how you look at it, there are no signs of memory loss, and you’ve also taken many medications with no effect,” said the Duke of White Frost, also quite helpless upon hearing this.

“Therefore, I suspect you might not have memory loss, but rather some kind of memory, mental, or personality redevelopment. Otherwise, such complete amnesia would not occur, like a blank slate.”

“And in fact, you haven’t completely lost your memory; you still retain some common knowledge and instincts, like your handwriting. Using that strange tool known as a ‘brush,’ you can produce such elegant writing, which is an inherent instinct leftover from your body.”

The Duke of White Frost relayed the conclusions made by the doctors who had been treating him lately. Chen Mo would have normally gone to hear this himself, but he had been too busy recently because of reasons involving the sun, so the Duke of White Frost, who had learned about it through the Mind Network, reported it directly.

“So, I can only rely on myself for recovery?” Chen Mo hadn’t expected this outcome.

“That’s the situation for now, and even if you want to undergo treatment, the conditions are just not there. You should know that many things are lacking in our Earl’s Domain,” the Duke of White Frost said.

The Earl’s Domain might seem large to the poor or serfs, but to the Duke of White Frost, who once owned a duchy, it wasn’t all that large. Moreover, precisely because of Chen Mo’s previous actions, there was hardly anything left.

Let alone gathering various herbs needed for medications. Previously, they were able to get them because they could go out and buy them, but how could they go out now?

Even if they went out and bought herbs, they would likely be killed and plundered by those nobles, since things were already chaotic, and those nobles would naturally not pass up such a ripe target.

The ethos among the nobility was not great to begin with, and the outcome was predictable without even needing to think too hard.

“I understand. Memory isn’t really that important. If it can be restored, good; if it can’t, then so be it. What matters is that the inheritance of knowledge isn’t compromised,” Chen Mo didn’t dwell much on it. After all, now was not the time to fret over this. It didn’t matter if his memory was gone. If he could survive, everything else could be discussed afterwards.

“You should rest for now. You haven’t slept for a hundred and twenty hours; I can keep watch here. Later, I will share the data on the grain seeds with you.”

Chen Mo said to the Duke of White Frost, as his visit this time was to relieve the other party, though they’d ended up chatting a bit more than intended.

The Duke of White Frost didn’t refuse, as it was indeed time for him to rest. One hundred and twenty hours weren’t much for a 5th rank individual, but the process was not just sitting idle; instead, his brain had constantly been overloaded with various gene experiments, so it was normal to feel tired.

After all, they were racing against time and couldn’t afford to take things leisurely.
