Chapter 898 - 495: Prison in the Secret Room_2

The two youngsters watched the figure disappearing with the sunset, and once again felt an emptiness in their hearts.

"Perhaps that’s what a teacher is, someone’s like the wind..." Cloud Star sighed.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open heavily, Wu Li rushed in breathlessly, and asked, "Te... Teacher..."

"Senior sister, you came a bit late, the teacher just left..." Ronald said.

The next moment, he saw Wu Li’s expression twist dramatically, then she grabbed his collar tightly and yelled, "Ahhh, why didn’t you notify me earlier!"

She was already fed up with these two rebellious students!

The entire laboratory instantly turned into chaos.

...

Xue Dili looked at the desolate land and said reluctantly, "Forget it, I’m here already..."

Super Iron Curtain, a place Xue Dili once resented, but later reconciled with.

Because he had once broadcasted its coordinates throughout the Full Domain without permission, it attracted the Apostles for spying, pushing the planet’s civilization to the brink of disaster.

Although no one knew it was Xue Dili who broadcasted the coordinates, he still felt guilty...

He later helped Free Iron Curtain, firstly because Free Iron Curtain had differed significantly from the former Super Iron Curtain, they abandoned their militarism and instead moved towards a peaceful and cooperative framework, and perhaps also to rectify the mistakes he made in his youth.

When he broadcasted the coordinates to the entire Cosmos again, he thought he would encounter something similar to the "Three-Body People," little did he expect to attract the utterly ruthless and unprincipled Apostles...

Xue Dili didn’t even know what Apostles were at the time, the intelligence left by the Great Sage unlocked information about them only after reaching Tier Five.

Perhaps the old man thought well, believing that only after Tier Five should one know about Apostles, and would have the chance to encounter them.

But he never thought Xue Dili had inadvertently been pulled into Parliament by the Lord of Mist early on.

This led to the situation where, when Xue Dili learned about the Apostle information left by the Great Sage, he had already completed the Venerable King path...

Xue Dili could only sigh; although it was youthful ignorance and not understanding the dangers of the Cosmos that led to such foolish actions, Xue Dili would not shirk the responsibility and the sin of this civilization’s invasion.

Perhaps his best fate would be to go to Hell and become brothers with Satan...

That’s what Xue Dili thought.

Whatever, maybe Hell cannot accommodate who he is now, Ye Gezi’s Mortal World avatar is still serving as an adviser to Chaos on Eden Star, Hell hasn’t even appeared, Satan may just be some petty thief on Eden Star, not even colluding with Ye Gezi yet...

Xue Dili’s thoughts wandered again, unknowingly he saw the construction of Free Iron Curtain’s city.

Perhaps because the foundation of technology remained, Free Iron Curtain’s construction was particularly fast, despite this world being ravaged to extremes by swarms, the swarms had even begun to extract the planet’s heat, but ultimately, controlled by Xue Dili’s World Consciousness, they were annihilated in one wave.

And here, Xue Dili saw something else.

Insect-devouring Tree! Hills and slopes covered with Insect-devouring Trees!

These were the legacy of Xue Dili’s little daughter... offspring?

Xue Dili didn’t know how to describe these Insect-devouring Trees, after all, these were gradually spread from the remnants left by his little daughter, unlike animals, for whom breeding is extremely cumbersome and complex.

However, plants, perhaps his little daughter accidentally left some roots somewhere, without a few years, it would grow into this field of Insect-devouring Trees from that small root.

This is the difference between plants and animals, even a leaf accidentally dropped by his little daughter could turn into a forest on another planet.

Thus associating plant reproduction with family concepts is quite inappropriate, just as Xue Dili wouldn’t regard these sprawling Insect-devouring Trees as his "grandsons and granddaughters".

And in the distance, the city of Free Iron Curtain was already largely built.

Various types of houses, hospitals, schools...

It seemed as though everything lost was rebuilt, despite the entire world being utterly battered, the speed of Free Iron Curtain’s construction far exceeded Xue Dili’s expectations, watching this bustling city, he didn’t know where to lend a hand.

Because they did not need help at all, the new Free Iron Curtain people could rebuild their homeland relying on their own hands.

Huge robots rumbled, these machines once used for invading other civilizations now became labor forces for constructing homes, those who lived under militarism and reveled in the conquest of civilizations began shedding the ingrained habits of the Super Iron Curtain era, transforming into Free Iron Curtain people proud of labor.

"Actually, they don’t even blame you, which is also partly my fault, although it appeared strong on the surface, the former Super Iron Curtain was decayed to an extreme, perhaps some insightful individuals saw the problems of Super Iron Curtain, but they were powerless to overthrow it..."

"Now, rather than break and remake, Free Iron Curtain had a chance to extricate from the quagmire of militarism and rebuild, perhaps for them, it counts as an acceptable ending."

"Even due to the event, they had an opportunity to break away from the Interstellar Corps’ blacklist, and even become partners, perhaps this is also the intertwining of blessings and woes."

Suddenly a voice sounded in Xue Dili’s ear, Xue Dili knew it was the World Consciousness of Iron Curtain Star.

Also the World Consciousness that Xue Dili least wanted to meet...

Other World Consciousnesses might just retain him, but this guy really locked him in a dark room and thoroughly exploited him.

Though abstractly described, Xue Dili, as a carbon-based life form, could only articulate his feelings at that time...

He even felt as if he was dragged into a confined space, enduring ultimate insult in a locked room.

Xue Dili just pretended it didn’t happen, borrowed power from the World Consciousness, and hurriedly left, avoiding being drawn into a secret chamber again.

Although now Xue Dili was truly Tier Six, far beyond the presence of planetary consciousness, capable of PK in the Imperial City with the soon-to-be God of Order of the Lord of Mist, even if he was just a ready-to-strike super soldier, to be a super soldier in the Divine War, Xue Dili was now the most unmatched unit in the entire Cosmos outside of God of Order and Lord of Mist.

Finally, Xue Dili hurriedly left, seeking the leader of Free Iron Curtain, Aigole.

Different from the last meeting, Aigole had now built a family and a career, even if his wife was an artificial human.

"In the former environment, you know, we didn’t know how long we could survive under the swarm’s attack, having some survivors to rebuild civilization was already a blessing." Aigole was a very optimistic young man.

He didn’t discriminate against artificial humans, instead saying, "In the former Super Iron Curtain, we all counted as artificial humans, as parents only needed to provide genetic material, everything else was completed by artificial wombs."

"Now, at least we don’t have to hand over all reproductive rights to the Iron Curtain, we can love normally, live normally with dignity, instead of being components functioning for the Iron Curtain."

Aigole’s artificial human wife smiled, offering Xue Dili a cup of tea, while Aigole said, "Number 18, you don’t have to restrain yourself, go check on the kids or go out and play."

"Alright..."

Xue Dili: "..."

Somehow, your civilization’s family concept seems a bit peculiar...

Xue Dili didn’t know how to comment, but seeing this seemingly affectionate couple-in-law, he chose to remain silent in the end.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Xue Dili directly said.

Perhaps he felt a bit of compensation towards Free Iron Curtain, or simply for his past foolishness, Xue Dili spoke.

"No need, we are free now, even if there are issues we can approach the Interstellar Corps, when I was young I never dared to imagine that one day we would become partners of the Interstellar Corps." Aigole laughed; he appeared genuinely satisfied with life.

"Well then, I’ve established a Magic Academy, partnered with the Interstellar Corps and friends from the Masked Ball; interested in sending the children to study there?"

When Xue Dili brought up recruitment, Aigole immediately clasped Xue Dili’s hand, as if fearing Xue Dili might change his mind, he directly said.

"Happy collaboration!"

Xue Dili: "..."
