Chapter 684: Chapter 550: Surviving the aftermath (Two more)
At that mont, Mankadi revealed a satisfied expression and said, “Very well, it indeed is a clue related to the Negative God Crystal Fragnts. I am quite pleased with this gift.”
“It gladdens that you are satisfied, Wise One,” Hillock responded with a smile.
“Our Hemwo race has always been very generous to our comrades. Help us retrieve the Negative God Crystal, and you will get everything you desire—endless life, power, status, wealth…”
Mankadi’s voice, filled with temptation, echoed throughout the great hall.
It was then that Hillock signaled Lulavi with a glance.
Lulavi humbly said, “Great Sage, it is an honor to serve you. However, those filthy and lowly cannon fodder, wielding weapons and equipnt provided by the Star Ring City, are quite troubleso. I fear my lack of ability might delay your grand plans, Great Sage, and hence I humbly request a bit of your grace.”
Mankadi’s wise gaze fell upon Lulavi.
Lulavi felt a slight stiffness in his body, as if he were completely exposed and seen through, increasing his unease.
At this juncture, Mankadi slowly said, “What grace do you seek?”
Hearing Mankadi’s words, Lulavi, weighed down as though by a heavy burden, suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said, “Great Sage, I request you grace with a Level 5 battleship, as well as so essential resources. I will not fail to live up to your expectations.”
“Give him a Youmu Battleship, and provide him with the materials he desires,” Mankadi said in a deep tone.
“Yes!”
The Hemwo present nodded and answered in agreent.
Seeing his goal achieved, Hillock said with a slight smile, “Great Sage, then we shall take our leave first.”
Giving Hillock a sidelong glance, Mankadi spoke in a spiraling tone, “Rember my words, Hillock, we are always generous to our comrades. But to our enemies, we are exceedingly cruel. As for whether you stand as a comrade or an enemy, you are a smart man, you will grasp it yourself.”
“Understood.”
Hillock replied respectfully and then led Lulavi away.
Soon, the vast hall was left with only the Hemwo.
At this ti, a general standing aside spoke in a hoarse voice, “Great Sage, now that the whereabouts of the Negative God Fragnts are confird, why don’t we take action ourselves instead of using these Corrosives? Their words are utterly unreliable, and their desire and greed for the Negative God Crystal cannot be concealed.”
Mankadi spoke slowly, “The Dawn Star Sea where we are now is effectively the front line. Further ahead lies the radiation zone of the Gray Scorpion Star System, near the Star Ring City. Before our Clan Leader left, he made it clear that the vanguard should not advance rashly and wait for the arrival of the main force. As for those Corrosives, you needn’t worry. I have my ways. Right now, we have more pressing matters to deal with.”
“You speak of Star Ring City, Wise One?”
“Indeed. This part of the Negative Universe is now a grand cake, and everyone wants a bite. The number of races that have barged in is quite substantial, including the Eternal Clan. But what concerns the most is the Star Ring City. It is like a tumor, greedily embedded in the Negative Universe, sucking away all its nutrients. If anyone has gathered the most fragnts by now, odds are it’s the Star Ring City,” Mankadi replied solemnly.
“Where exactly did this Star Ring City co from?”
As if in thought, Mankadi said, “To my knowledge, this Star Ring City originated from that universe.”
Upon hearing Mankadi’s words, the Hemwo in attendance seed to recall sothing, a ripple crossing their ugly faces.
“From that universe? Can we afford to offend them?”
“Whether we can afford to offend them is no longer important. What’s important is that this expanse of Negative Universe space is an opportunity for everyone, and no one will give it up. In plain terms, the entire Negative Universe is a giant graveyard. Only those who dominate death can achieve final victory.”

——————————————————————-
For who knows how long, within the vast expanse of the starry sky, a battered mother ship drifted.
In the command room, the control panel continued to emit electric sparks.
People were scattered on the floor everywhere, each one plunged into a deep unconsciousness.
In Sector G3, within the Glutton biological cabin,
Qian Chengxue and Su Mo collided with each other, holding each other tightly, enduring the violent shaking.
Su Mo’s mind went blank, not because he was scared but because he was tense.
At this mont, he was feeling the soft touch in his arms, and his heart was pounding furiously. Even his life-or-death battle against the Fake V Generation·chanical Judge had never made him this nervous.
Suddenly, Qian Chengxue slowly lifted her head to look at Su Mo and spoke.
“It seems to have stopped shaking, are we safe now?”
Upon hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, Su Mo imdiately ca back to his senses and hastily inquired the Fake Creator·Swallower in his mind.
“Fake Creator·Swallower, are we okay?”
“You’re fine, you pulled through, consider yourselves lucky. The countless remnants and garbage in the Chaotic Burial Starfield of Donkye, coupled with the distance you fled, just happened to weaken those rays’ power. Otherwise, the whole ship would probably be dust by now.”
The Fake Creator·Swallower replied coolly.
Hearing the Fake Creator·Swallower’s words, Su Mo also felt a surge of relief and joy like one who survives a great disaster.
He said to the Fake Creator·Swallower in his mind.
“Aweso, I’m really impressed with you, such precise predictive data, not a single bit off, just perfect. It’s almost like a miracle! What level of civilization’s technology are you exactly?”
“Of course I’m powerful, don’t you see who I am, I am God!”
The Fake Creator·Swallower replied with pride.
Hearing the Fake Creator·Swallower’s words, Su Mo was taken aback for a mont, then replied, “Alright, alright, that’s enough. Don’t start believing that you’re really a god.”
“I am a god; just look at my na. What does ‘creator’ an? A creator is an existence that creates everything.”
The Fake Creator·Swallower replied with boundless arrogance.
“Cough cough, your na does include ‘creator’, that’s correct, but there’s also the word ‘fake’ in front of it. ‘Fake creator,’ fake creator, that ans you’re a false creator. It’s okay to say it, but don’t take it seriously.”
“You!”
“I’m telling the truth. If you were really a god, why would there be a ‘fake’ at the beginning of your na? Just take it easy.”
Su Mo, feeling very good, couldn’t help but tease the Fake Creator·Swallower.
“Su Mo?”
Seeing that Su Mo hadn’t spoken for a while, Qian Chengxue called out.
Su Mo ca back to his senses and said to Qian Chengxue, “It should be safe now.”
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Qian Chengxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, her body suddenly stiffened as she realized she was holding Su Mo tightly, and Su Mo’s hand was also wrapped around her waist.
Her fair neck began to redden, blushing up to her cheeks, and she spoke in a fine voice as faint as a mosquito’s.
“Um, Su Mo, since we’re safe now, could you let go?”
