1797 The Blood Alliance’s Inheritance
“It’s a pity that man proposes but God disposes.”
Lu Zhongqi did not deny this. He sighed. “I have anticipated almost everything, except for you.
“Your appearance not only stopped the Blood Alliance from seizing the throne of the highest power in Dragon City, but it also destroyed the possibility of me ‘retrieving’ Siya and getting her back on the right track.
“I don’t know what this means.
“Perhaps, you’ll become the one who will save Dragon City, Meng Chao.
“However, it’s also possible that you’ve missed the best and last chance to kill the unimaginable monster that’s dormant in Siya’s body.
“And this will very likely destroy the Dragon City civilization in the near future!
“Don’t worry. No matter what kind of terrifying monster is lurking in Lu Siya’s body… even if it’s the monster mastermind’s will, it can’t cause any trouble for now.
“It’s because of you that Siya’s spirit meridians have been completely cut off. Even if she has the Ultimate Style and an astronomical number of resources, it’s impossible for her to recover her peak combat strength.
“She has fallen from the high and mighty Deity Realm to the state of an ordinary person. In the long years to come, she can only live and fight tenaciously as an ordinary person.
“No matter how magnificent and brutal my research plan for the ‘perfect carbon-based life’ was, it has turned into a non-existent pipe dream!”
Lu Zhongqi went quiet for a long time.
Then, his skinny shoulders trembled slightly.
The dying old man could not help but laugh.
“Don’t you understand, Meng Chao? The competition between life and civilization has never been based on a moment’s strength. Since ancient times, many powerful species and civilizations have mastered a moment’s strength, but in the end, during the long journey of reproduction, they were all defeated and turned into ashes,” Lu Zhongqi mumbled.
“The monster civilization once had hundreds of Apocalyptic Beasts. Each of them was an existence that could summon the wind and rain, split mountains and split stones, and even destroy the world. When these seemingly mythical monsters moved their mountainous bodies and slowly stomped toward our city, the hearts of human warriors and the rivets on tanks and armored vehicles would tremble violently with their rumbling footsteps. No one could not calm down.
“However, these tyrannical and rampaging Apocalyptic Beasts did not help the monster civilization win the race for survival.
“Overbearing battle power means that an astronomical amount of energy is consumed at all times.
“Their overly large bodies mean that they have particularly strict requirements for their habitats. It’s also difficult for them to find a suitable hiding place to avoid any bombardment from the humans.
“Also, these Apocalyptic Beasts that have occupied the top of the food chain have also squeezed other monsters out of their living space, causing the monster civilization to lose the most precious ability of constantly evolving and mutating to quickly adapt to their environment and opponents.
“Since the monster civilization led by the Apocalyptic Beasts has already been completely defeated…
“What’s so strange about the new monster civilization voluntarily giving up its single-minded pursuit of paper combat strength in exchange for a more stealthy and versatile advantage before the next war begins?
“Perhaps you and Siya are life-and-death friends who’ve fought side by side.
“But you can’t be like me, who understands the blood kin he values the most.
“Siya’s strength has never been her combat power, never.
“If you think that once Siya’s spiritual pulse is broken and she becomes an ordinary person, she will be content with being ordinary, then you are wrong. You are very wrong.”
Meng Chao frowned deeply.
“What are you trying to say?”
He stared at the old man who was falling into the netherworld. “Are you going to set the final trap even if you’re about to die?”
“You can think of my words as conspiracies and traps, but you can also think of them as redemption and a gift. It doesn’t matter how different the specific means of our implementations are. Our ultimate goal is always the same, which is to continue the Dragon City civilization, to continue our glory from Earth, and to let the future generations of Earthlings survive in a new world, even in the sea of stars.”
Lu Zhongqi calmly said, “I know that the Blood Alliance’s actions almost caused Dragon City to fall into the abyss of eternal damnation. I also know that the conflicts between the various classes and interest groups in Dragon City won’t be resolved with the nominal destruction of the Blood Alliance. I also know that the secret studies and underground experiments that the Blood Alliance has conducted in the past decades, such as the Perfect Carbon-based Creature Research Project, could lead Dragon City’s future to unpredictable and chaotic directions.
“Since the Blood Alliance has stumbled into temporary failure, I am willing to believe that for a long time to come, you will be more qualified than me to lead Dragon City forward.
“So, I don’t want to cause you any more trouble. On the contrary, I hope that I can help you control the entire Dragon City!”
Meng Chao could not help but laugh.
“If you really want to atone for your crimes, it’s very simple. You only need to tell us the organizational structure of the Blood Alliance, all of its secret bureaus, and the list of the most hidden members of the alliance that are not yet under our control.”
“It seems that you still don’t understand. The Blood Alliance isn’t an organization but an idea. Such an idea does not exist based on an organizational structure, secret strongholds, and spies. So, I can’t give you the information.
“However, I can tell you something else regarding the core data of the secret studies and underground experiments conducted by the Blood Alliance in the past decades. This includes the Perfect Carbon-based Creature Research Project.
“Perhaps, this core data can help you restore Siya to normal.
“It can even help you, the youngest Deity Realm warrior in Dragon City, to break through the limits of life and become the first person in Dragon City to surpass the Deity Realm!”
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
He did not understand what Lu Zhongqi was planning.
Lu Zhongqi used the last of his strength to press the hard ground.
As his vitality magnetic field trembled, the ground around the two of them rippled.
Part of the ground sank, and part of the ground rose up, forming traces similar to movable type printing. They gathered into lines of tiny words.
Even though he could not see his own fingers in the underground cave, using his enhanced vision, Meng Chao could still recognize the words that Lu Zhongqi had ‘carved’ on the rock.
There was a large number of deep web links, information extraction codes, as well as real-life addresses, and even coordinates of places far away from Dragon City.
If Lu Zhongqi was not lying, the virtual and physical legacies that the Blood Alliance had accumulated for nearly half a century would be behind these links and addresses.
