Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station Chapter 333 - 127 Reason2

"It seems there’s no need to pin hope on . Wouldn’t it be better to control my spiritual energy according to the plans of your higher-ups?"

Brilliant didn’t ask how Chen Ming knew about the effects of the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor, but instead explained his question: "In fact, our developnt externally is now frequently facing obstacles."

"The universe is not empty; outside the territory of the Human Empire, there are many dangers, with the chanical Race being the greatest among them."

"They limit our developnt externally, while humans try to break through internally, and we are nearly powerless to resist."

Chen Ming pointed out a problem in Brilliant’s words: "Didn’t you just win a battle? Wasn’t the raiding human fleet severely damaged?"

"But winning this battle is aningless, and it was only because of a major error in the human fleet’s command that we won."

"aningless?"

"Because from a long-term perspective, our resources are limited, and the number of main ships is only so many."

"Even if humans are set back this ti, they can still co back, but if we make one mistake, it will be a catastrophic disaster."

Chen Ming asked again, sowhat confused: "Hasn’t Dusk already limited human expansion externally? And isn’t the universe outside vast, so why are resources restricted?"

"But our Dusk here is not."

Brilliant explained: "Our Dusk was sent here initially just to thwart humans."

"Not only do we need to interfere with human expansion as per the requirents of the other side, but after the initial period, we’ve received no support in terms of resources and must be self-reliant."

"Sotis we even need to provide resource supplies to the main force over there."

"Not only do we face problems from the chanical Race and internal issues, but we also need to deal with problems from the chanical Race next door. Can you understand the difficulty in this?"

"If not for the fact that the number of ruins from the destroyed civilization discovered outside the Gallo Star Realm by humans is small, scattered, and not the primary expansion direction of that civilization."

"We’ve just blocked humans, and no one cares at all."

"But as soon as the day cos when humans suddenly care, Dusk here has only one outco."

Brilliant didn’t explicitly say it, but Chen Ming clearly understood what that outco would be.

"Therefore, I want to pursue the possibility of our Dusk surviving."

"Rejoining humans is one option."

"But every Dusk has its own agenda, and so does every individual. Dusk can never trust the humans who once oppressed them, and humans can never trust the rebellious Dusk."

"In such a situation, even if humans accept our surrender, they will definitely impose unimaginable restrictions; hence, joining humans is not an option."

By now, Chen Ming almost understood: "So you think that because of my own spiritual energy, I can completely trust you, is that right?"

"And also, I am human, so you can also put a layer of protection from human subordinates over yourselves."

"Yes."

Chen Ming understood, but still reminded: "But when I control Dusk, especially an entire star realm’s Dusk, my identity will be more than just human."

"But within your identity, there remains humanity. Humans can trust humans, and you can trust us; that’s the most important thing."

"Indeed, that’s not a problem. How can I be sure you don’t have any personal motives?"

"You can ask directly."

Brilliant spoke very frankly.

However, when it was willing to take the initiative to contact the Dusk entity controlled by Chen Ming, Chen Ming already understood its situation.

So, Chen Ming didn’t force it to voice its innermost thoughts, instead saying as he did previously to Gamma ABZ: "I won’t ask you; I hope you say it yourself."

Brilliant didn’t expect Chen Ming to say this.

After considering for a mont, it said: "You are human, and you will die."

"Under current human technology, the lifespan of a normal human is at its limit at one hundred and fifty years."

"Exchanging a hundred years for the continued survival and unprecedented developnt of Dusk, I think it’s worth it."

Before Chen Ming could question, Brilliant added: "You ntioned to before that you hadn’t specifically studied spiritual energy knowledge systematically, so there are a few things I need to tell you."

"Psychics, when undergoing cold sleep, must maintain brain activity to keep the spiritual energy operational."

"This ans that while the body is frozen, the brain is not, and it will still die of aging."

"Extending spiritual energy operation ti through cold sleep is not achievable."

"Additionally, while similar-ability psychics have appeared, there has never been an identical one."

"anwhile, your ability to thoroughly control a ship’s root functions and control individual Dusk with spiritual energy has never existed since the first psychic erged."

"You are the first."

"Moreover, a psychic’s energy has never been passed down."

"Every psychic’s spiritual energy, like the psychic, has a lifespan limit."

"Are you saying the Enlightennt Nerve will also die?"

"You know about the Enlightennt Nerve?"

"I learned about it from your Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor."
