In a certain Black Market, which was a resting place for vagabonds, marauders, and wanted criminals, skulls of alien creatures hung on the rusted tal walls, making it look terrifying and eerie.
Muddy liquids were downed cup after cup. These were all characters who Lived on the Edge, living for today and forgetting tomorrow.
If they had Star Coins they would spend them, and only when they had exhausted all the Star Coins on their person would they think of going out to do missions.
It was just that today, they gathered in twos and threes, seemingly discussing sothing in low voices. Clearly, sothing major had happened.
"Did you hear? An organization called The Forerunners suddenly Appeared and successively attacked several Peripheral Outposts of the Star Glory Empire. Aweso AF..." a ferocious scar-faced man whispered to his Friend.
"Hey, how outdated is your news..." an Interstellar werewolf not far away said loudly, his Translator flashing with Crimson Glow: "Those Forerunners are actually the Other-Dinsional Camp."
"You guys know the Other-Dinsional Camp, right? It's the organization of Returning Star's Li Yu, that Crazy Bastard who had a threeso with Returning Star's Empress and Queen."
"Can you get to the point? I'm already tired of watching those deepfake videos..." the scar-faced man said coldly.
The werewolf seed a bit dizzy, otherwise he wouldn't act so unruly: "The point? The point is, these two organizations are actually one."
"Whether it's the Other-Dinsional Camp or The Forerunners, they are all pseudonyms. They belong to two factions with different goals. It's said they are already incompatible like fire and water."
"Heh, where did this Idiot co from? Opening his mouth to talk nonsense with news he got from who knows where." The scar-faced man sneered.
"Are you laughing at your grandpa!?" The werewolf suddenly moved, a bloody stench rushing to the face. In the blink of an eye, he tackled the scar-faced man to the ground. Viscous liquid dripped from his gleaming white teeth, flowing onto the fearful scar-faced man's face.
"Life-and-death combat is not allowed in the Black Market." The bartender gave a low warning, but didn't look up, still wiping the bar counter.
The werewolf then slowly got up and said disdainfully: "You're lucky. If you're not convinced, follow out."
He staggered out of the place, but the scar-faced man hesitated for a long ti without moving.
Such scenes occurred in multiple places. This news also began to spread at extre speeds, not only on the Black Hole Network, but even on the Interstellar Network.
Most people didn't take this matter seriously.
The Interstellar space was vast and boundless, and travel expenses were high. Many people would never leave the Star System they were in for their entire lives.
Whether it was The Forerunners or the Other-Dinsional Camp, they were too far away from them.
Even with the dubious blessing of the title "Lost Civilization".
Not too many people took it to heart. After all, a hidden faction could Suddenly Appear in any remote corner of the Interstellar space.
………
"I have already spread this news according to Your Excellency's wishes, and have reached a transaction with the Star Glory Empire, obtaining so benefits." Codri had a gentle attitude, speaking through the Holographic Screen.
"Good, thank you all this ti." Li Yu nodded.
"You're too polite. We are the ones who benefited. Thanks to Your Excellency's news, we exchanged for so precious materials from the Star Glory Empire and overca quite a few difficult problems." Codri shook his head and said.
"No matter, consider it returning the favor for your support last ti." Li Yu said casually.
Codri smiled brightly. After hesitating for a mont, he said: "Why did Your Excellency spread this kind of news? It shouldn't have any benefits for you guys, right?"
"I have no interest in taking the bla for so people. A portion of people think my Identity is flawed and constantly refuse to accept , so why should I take the bla for them." Li Yu said, half-truthfully:
"After all, I am out in the open. If the matters they cause are too big, the ultimate price can only be borne by ."
Codri was Noncommittal. This already belonged to the other party's internal organizational affairs. He had no standing to speak, but he didn't interrupt either, quietly listening to all the information.
"How are... you guys doing?" After Li Yu finished speaking, he suddenly changed the topic.
This made Codri, who was originally calm and collected, startle in fear, saying: "How is what doing?"
Li Yu stared closely at him without saying a word. Codri had a Guilty Conscience, but also acted normal.
He knew Li Yu was asking about the Titan Sanctuary, but he definitely couldn't tell the other party about this kind of thing.
What's more, the mysterious Other-Dinsional Camp had now surfaced.
Not only were there heavy external enemies, but there were also difficult-to-resolve internal contradictions. This greatly reduced the Apprehension so factions had towards them.
Codri braced himself and locked eyes with Li Yu, not backing down either.
"It's nothing..." Li Yu didn't press further, and subsequently closed the Communication Link.
According to his estimation, after planting evidence through the collision, talking nonsense face-to-face, and the Salvation Ark throwing mud, this combination of moves would take effect.
The Forerunners were now Unable to explain themselves, and could only Pinch Their Noses and beco Unicron's subordinates.
The Other-Dinsional Camp Caught a White Wolf With Bare Hands, forcefully attaching itself to The Forerunners.
From now on, what belonged to The Forerunners also belonged to the Other-Dinsional Camp.
And the Other-Dinsional Camp... sorry, it was fake.
The more powerful The Forerunners were, the more Apprehension others would have towards the Other-Dinsional Camp.
"Who is going to be unlucky this ti..." Hunter's voice rang in his ear: "Every ti you smile like this, you're definitely thinking of how to harm people."
Li Yu restrained his smile, shot a glance over, and said grumpily: "Knowing too much will get you silenced."
Hunter shrank his neck and said: "Peyton called for you. It seems there's a harvest from the bones you brought back a few days ago."
Li Yu instantly gained Attention and quickly headed to the Research Base.
After devouring the Dinsion World storing the Titan Corpse last ti, his Gene Chain Progress had already maxed out, bringing him a Combat Power Level exceeding ten million.
Theoretically speaking, in his normal combat form, he could already contend head-on with an A4-tier lifeform.
At the sa ti, the selection of the additional Gene Chain loaded by the [Life Codex] and the fourth Gene Chain was also put on the agenda.
It was easy to additionally load a Gene Chain for the [Life Codex]; Returning Star's Gene Chain Library was open to him at any ti.
However, the Titan skeleton he just obtained made his imagination run wild.
As his Strength gradually grew, a portion of his combat power Amplification thods gradually lost their effectiveness, and he urgently needed extra combat power Amplification thods.
And the Royal Blood Titan was renowned exactly for its combat power.
It was just that the "Curse" from the Titans was still a trouble, making him hesitant.
He hadn't thought about using the Titan Gene Chain as a regular replacent Gene Chain, although it was definitely very strong.
But, items produced by the System all had extra traits, and their developnt speed far exceeded Gene Chains not produced by the System.
Moreover, Galactus's Genetic Sample was still in the process of being obtained; this was what he considered the main event.
However, the concept of Galactus coincided with the Divine Gene from his Star-Lord father on him, having so overlap.
Furthermore, in the movies, Uncle Galactus... was a bit weak, which might have bad influences.
But even so, Li Yu only reserved a [Life Codex] mounting slot for the Royal Blood Titan Gene Chain.
Arriving at the Research Base, Peyton had already been working around the clock for a long ti, and the surrounding Researchers were the sa.
Especially those boss-level Researchers recruited last ti; they had already abandoned the Xenomorph Queen they treated as a precious treasure.
The Titan skeleton, this was a precious item that had never appeared in the Interstellar space. No one didn't want to understand the Titan's Genetic Structure.
"What did you discover..." Li Yu asked. Everyone present had their heads lowered, seemingly no one paying attention to him, but a mont later, Peyton spoke up:
"This skeleton is very special. According to the temporal spectrum detection, the ti of death seems not far from the present."
"This should be the efficacy of the ti-fixing Crystal. Inside that thing, ti is frozen, and it can only be born in places of Ti Distortion."
Li Yu nodded. He had already witnessed the power of that kind of Crystal, able to fix even a Physical body that had turned into dust.
Peyton closely followed and said: "Therefore, based on this skeleton, it is actually possible to analyze the Genetic Structure of a Royal Blood Titan, but the sample is insufficient. Wanting to modulate a Gene Chain is basically impossible."
"Sample insufficient..." Li Yu frowned, involuntarily feeling it was sowhat a pity.
Although it might not necessarily be usable even if modulated, the fact that it couldn't be modulated at all still disappointed him sowhat.
"This is also because of the efficacy of the ti-fixing Crystal, otherwise even if this skeleton could be preserved, it wouldn't have much vitality left." Peyton added.
Ti-fixing Crystal... freezing ti... Li Yu shook his head, but suddenly a flash of lightning crossed his mind.
He thought of a certain item he had obtained before—the [Clock of Ti], which could adjust the progress of ti.
Because of the ti-fixing Crystal, the skeleton's ti was fixed at the mont it just died.
If ti was reversed, could this skeleton grow flesh and blood?
Moreover, with only half a skeleton, strictly speaking, it wasn't considered a living Titan, so it wouldn't be entangled by the Death Wave.
It seems... feasible...
Li Yu's eyes lit up slightly. He acted as soon as he spoke, imdiately taking out the [Clock of Ti], and then set the Observation Room where the skeleton was placed as the coverage area, activating the [Clock of Ti].
The coverage area of the [Clock of Ti] wasn't large, and a portion of the skeleton couldn't be encompassed, but it was enough.
Li Yu's mind stirred slightly.
The next mont, the space in the area covered by the [Clock of Ti] began to twist slightly, overlapping shadows constantly shaking.
"Eh..." A certain Researcher with his head lowered noticed sothing amiss. He walked over, leaned on the glass of the Observation Room, and couldn't help asking curiously: "What did you do?"
"Just watch..." Li Yu shook his head and continued to dial ti backward. The Space Distortion beca more intense, and everyone was attracted over, watching this scene.
Then, an event that made them dumbfounded occurred. On those gleaming white bones, "granulation tissue" actually began to erge, and initiated "growth" in a special posture.
"This... this is the phenonon of 'reverse growth' caused by Ti Reversal!" An old geezer couldn't help but cry out in alarm, wishing he could drill into the Observation Room.
The others also stared unblinkingly at this scene before them.
Peyton also walked over, frowning slightly, "You want to restore his Physical body through Ti Reversal?"
"The Universe will smooth out this kind of temporal anomaly. Flesh and blood are very difficult to use for research."
Although the Universe didn't have life, it could self-repair. This kind of temporal anomaly was a malignant tumor and would be corrected by the Universe.
Flesh and blood born from this reversed ti might be able to exist in special areas, but once they left, they would be corrected by the Universe.
In the Observation Room, the vast majority of the skeleton had already been covered by muscles, just like the lower half of a human body, only magnified many tis.
As he expected, no abnormal situations occurred.
Clearly, an already dead Titan wouldn't suffer an attack from the wave.
Li Yu had already stopped his actions, and then operated the Instrunts to cut a bloody chunk of at from the lower body. After leaving the coverage area of the [Clock of Ti], it still existed.
This made Peyton let out a soft "eh": "How co it isn't affected by Cosmic Rules?"
Li Yu chuckled lightly and didn't explain, saying: "These Gene Samples should be enough, right?"
Peyton pondered for a mont and nodded: "These are definitely enough."
……
At the sa ti, in the Sishank Civilization, a group of scavengers disguised as a scientific expedition team landed on a Barren Planet.
Within the territory of the Sishank Civilization, there were giant Cosmic Volcano clusters and Interstellar Glaciers. Both of these Galactic Forbidden Zones were extrely ancient.
Over the long passage of ti, there was no lack of powerful lifeforms entering them for exploration. So were lucky and scooped up good things.
The vast majority froze into ice blocks or beca charred remains inside.
Under accidental circumstances, they would be erupted out and scattered everywhere in the Sishank Star System.
So this Star System was full of scavengers trying their luck, wanting to dig out so good stuff, resell it to the Black Market, and make a huge sum of money.
Yellow acid rain swept across the Earth without a mont's pause. Amidst a hazy fog of acid rain.
A group of guys wearing bloated protective suits were setting up various chanical Instrunts to detect the planet's condition.
Planets with such extre environnts within the Sishank Civilization were generally influenced by Cosmic Volcanic Eruptions.
This planet had already been visited by others who knows how many tis, and these few people were just coming to try their luck.
It was just that a mont later, a hunchbacked tree-monkey with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks operated on the screen for a while, and suddenly shouted in pleasant surprise:
"Haha, I detected a geomagnetic interference ripple. Sothing is constantly interfering with the planet's magnetic field."
"I knew it! During the active period of a Cosmic Volcano, we can definitely find good things on these planets."
"Those Idiots don't think about it. Since the ejecta of a Cosmic Volcano has been here before, there will definitely be a second ti."
"It seems to be in the southeast direction. I'll use a sonar ripple scan to see what exactly it is."
The other Squad mbers beside him Looked at Each Other in Dismay, watching this nearly manic guy.
After waiting a while, he suddenly yelled: "Got it!"
The sonar ripple mapped out a massive building on the screen. The whole thing looked very strange, like a Palace.
Everyone gathered around, looking at it for a long ti but couldn't make out what exactly this thing was.
"Sigh, the Instrunts are too backward, there's no simulation program, it can only detect the rough outline... After scooping up good stuff this ti, I definitely have to replace it!" This guy was full of confidence and ordered:
"Quickly get in the Transport Vehicle, advance towards the target location, absolutely cannot let others Get a Head Start."
"Boss..." One Squad mber finally mustered up courage and whispered: "Why do I feel like this doesn't look like sothing erupted from a Cosmic Volcano?"
The other Squad mbers had the sa thought. Damn it, whose Cosmic Volcano could erupt a Palace out?
"Hmm?" The monkey old man suddenly turned his head, holding a tal cane, and smashed it over fiercely: "You're not a Cosmic Volcano, how do you know it wouldn't erupt sothing like this?"
"Hurry up! If we're any later, you won't get any food tonight!"
Once these words ca out, the nurous Squad mbers imdiately didn't dare to delay, hurriedly packing up their things and getting onto the dilapidated amphibious Transport Vehicle.
