The True Self

But after being restrained for a while, the bright flower suddenly exploded.

The red crystals in the eyes of the three robots gleamed, devoid of any emotion, as they broke free from the flower. However, the large swaths of leaves and Leaf Vine of the Sha Luo Flower remained tightly entwined around them, locked in a struggle.

These robots are not actually a great threat; it's just that their entire bodies are made of Uranium Metal, a C-grade pure metal. Even Cosmic level powerhouse would need to expend a great deal of effort to destroy them.

However, they lack autonomous intelligence and their attack methods are very simple, making them difficult to deal with when encountering Plant Lifeform like the Sha Luo Flower.

Boom!

They suddenly broke free of the Leaf Vine that entwined them, only to be swallowed up by the flowers once again.

Not long after.

The three robots stood motionless, entangled in the spiral of the Sha Luo Flower.

Wind Queen said happily, "Master, I have completely controlled these three metal robots. Little Flower can release them now."

Lin Yan nodded, communicating with the Sha Luo Flower through his consciousness, and the blood-red Leaf Vine slowly retracted.

Lin Yan sensed a sense of grievance emanating from the Sha Luo Flower. He initially thought it was because many of its vines had been broken by the robot, so he touched its Leaf Vine, releasing his life force, and said, "Come, let me heal you."

The Sha Luo Flower clung to Lin Yan and wrapped around his arm.

A strong sense of attachment arises from my consciousness, like a child's attachment to their parents. A vine stands upright in front of me, swaying twice.

Lin Yan roughly understood its meaning; it wasn't about the broken Leaf Vine after all.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think this big thing doesn't taste good?"

The vine drooped slightly, as if nodding.

"Haha, I'll make sure you're well-fed before you leave."

Upon hearing this, the usually shrill cries of the Sha Luo Flower sounded somewhat melodious. It swayed happily for a moment, then shrank and merged into Lin Yan's body.

Without further delay, Lin Yan put away the three metal robots and immediately headed to the command room.

Ahead stood a beautifully carved silver gate.

This is where the command center is located.

"Squeak—"

Lin Yan pushed open the silver door with force. Since the mothership sank, it had been hidden from the sun for countless years. The moment Lin Yan opened it, a slight air convection was formed between the command room and the outside world, and a gentle breeze naturally blew through.

Inside the command center, the lights came on because of Lin Yan's intrusion.

A man in military uniform sat calmly in the center of the command room, while behind him stood three guards in black uniforms.

"Call!"

A gentle breeze was blowing.

The soldier on the seat turned to dust, along with his uniform, and vanished into powder.

The uniforms of the three guards behind him had also decayed and fallen off, leaving only a few pieces of clothing.

Wind Queen subsided, he appeared, somewhat surprised. "Is this the Flowing Silver Guard?"

"Although its main material is the same C-grade Uranium Metal, according to the data, this 'Flowing Silver' metal is very special and rare, and its price is extremely expensive, even more expensive than many D-rank metals!"

The three guards were not human, but a special product called "Flowing Silver Guard".

Otherwise, his body would have decayed long ago.

Their body structure is like Flowing Silver, so even if a strong person punches them, the impact can be easily deflected.

It contains an intelligent system that can speak, act, and so on, and is no different from a real person in daily life.

Although their destructive power is not too strong, once entangled by them, even Cosmic level powerhouse would need some time to break free, making them excellent bodyguards and protectors.

However, unlike the previous metal robots, the Flowing Silver Guard only obey their master. The spaceship's intelligent system cannot command them. However, after so many years, the energy in their bodies has long been exhausted.

Energy is to them what life force is to humans.

At this moment.

A Green-haired Woman's image appeared on the console screen, and a Universal Language echoed in the command room.

"XXXXX——"

In fact, Earth has some understanding of the Universal Language through Ancient Civilization Ruins. The Limit Martial Hall even compiled specialized translation software, but it is only kept within a very small scope and is not circulated.

Of course, it is possible to learn about Lin Yan's identity.

The Universal Language is a very important course and a prerequisite for space adventures. Although it is quite difficult to learn, it is nothing for Lin Yan.

The Green-haired Woman was the spaceship's AI, and her words meant for him to leave.

If you tell me to leave and I just leave, wouldn't I lose face?

"Wind Queen, bring me the signal device."

A signal device immediately appeared in Lin Yan's hand. Following Wind Queen's instructions, he plugged the golden end into the intelligent system interface on the left side of the control panel.

Only by connecting to the spacecraft's intelligent system can it be controlled.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

A piercing alarm immediately blared in the command room, and a large number of characters quickly appeared on the control panel screen.

The red and white light kept flashing.

Wind Queen rubbed his hands together and said, "It's okay. This kind of intelligent system doesn't have autonomous judgment. It can only rely on the internal logic processing program of the system to come up with a corresponding solution."

"This alarm was triggered by my signal device connected to the system. Under normal circumstances, the personnel inside the spacecraft would immediately react and investigate the situation."

"But there's no one else on the spaceship now."

Intelligent systems can be divided into four levels: logical processing programs—logic comparable to real human intelligence—emotional intelligence— Intelligent life form.

If we only consider the intelligent system, this spaceship hasn't even reached the second level, but its internally compiled defense system is excellent, so it shouldn't be underestimated.

Wind Queen subsided, an analysis and deciphering of the situation began, and the alarm in the command center quickly subsided.

She said, "The compilation level of this intelligent system is quite good. It will probably take me two days to completely uninstall the alarm program without touching its core program."

Lin Yan didn't mind. "It's okay, it's only two days."

He let Wind Queen continue deciphering the mystery, while he went to pick up the rings, weapons, and other relics left behind by the officer.

Both the Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship and the Flowing Silver Guard are extremely valuable luxury items. The owner of this spaceship must have been an extraordinary person in life, and the relics he left behind would naturally be equally impressive.

Lin Yan's first attention was naturally to the ring, which was very likely the legendary Space Ring.

It's quite normal for someone to be able to ride in Black Dragon Ship, have Flowing Silver Guard, and possess a small storage space.

The ring is entirely silver and has a very ordinary design.

With a thought, Lin Yan released a wisp of his Mental Power, which seeped into the ring.

The ring underwent subtle changes, with Lin Yan's Spiritual Imprint being incorporated into it.

The owner of this Space Ring had long since died, and the Spiritual Imprint left in the ring had long since dissipated. Lin Yan felt that the ring had become a part of his body, and he could clearly know everything inside the ring without using his Mental Power.

Just as he expected, it was a Space Ring. The space wasn't very large, measuring ten meters in length, width, and height, which was naturally incomparable to the space inside Wind Queen's crystal core.

The Space Ring itself is very valuable. Although it is of relatively little use to Lin Yan, the contents inside are very precious to him.

He can't recognize most things, but he can still recognize some things.

Both the Flowing Silver Guard and the Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship require Energy Crystal crystals to operate, and since the models vary, it is natural to need to stockpile energy crystals.

The 343 white, Transparent Crystal are the Muya Crystal. The Muya Crystal possess powerful life force and have an enhancing and evolving effect on the human soul and body.

There was a small amount of currency, including some Qianwu Coin and Black Dragon Coin, which should be considered as spare change left over.

There are also some strange fruits, robots, and metals, which Wind Queen will need to carefully distinguish.

Lin Yan put the Space Ring on his middle finger. It flowed silently like mercury, merging into his skin. Lin Yan Jueyi cool sensation, and then the ring completely disappeared from his finger.

He then looked at the other items on the ground, which were a weapon and a suit of armor.

Lin Yan picked up the close-fitting armor and examined it. The material was special and extremely tough; it was a good item.

Finally, I looked at the weapon.

It is an exquisitely crafted and ornate sword. The hilt and scabbard are black and engraved with dragon patterns, which is both luxurious and dignified.

Slowly drawn, the sword gleamed like water.

In an instant, the sword was covered with frost patterns and exuded a chilling aura.

Lin Yan sighed, "Rich people even have swords that look like this."

"It's a pity it's just for show."

The owner of this Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship certainly has the air of a super-rich person; he doesn't care about affordability, as long as the price is right.

This spaceship is made of pure metal and is considered a luxury item; alloys of the same grade are a hundred times cheaper than pure metal.

If it were a C5-class alloy spaceship, the price would be far lower than this Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship, but the performance would be almost identical.

Lin Yan had initially fantasized that, given his wealth, this might be an Origin Force weapon, but it turned out to be just an ordinary weapon made of metal, more like a decoration to the spaceship's owner.

He exposed his wrist and slashed it forcefully with the sword, leaving a wound.

"The hilt and scabbard are both made of Uranium Metal. The blade is indistinguishable, but it is at least C-grade metal. Although it is an ornament, it is at least still useful."

"We can use it as a temporary name, let's call it 'Black Dragon Sword'."

The Black Dragon Sword is incredibly hard, requiring at least a Cosmic level expert to destroy it. However, this type of weapon isn't valuable; what's truly valuable are Origin Force weapons and psychic weapons.

This is similar to the difference between the Black God Suit and the SS-class Combat Suit.

Lin Yan guessed, "This dead officer should be a member of a powerful family. He can possess such a valuable spaceship, Flowing Silver Guard, and Space Ring, but he doesn't seem to have any strength. He doesn't have Origin Force weapons or Force Battle Suit."

Although Origin Force weapons and Force Battle Suit are expensive, given this person's wealth, he could easily afford the first and second tiers. However, he didn't spend money on them, but instead spent it on spaceships and bodyguards.

Clearly, they rarely participated in battles and were protected by the Flowing Silver Guard and other subordinates. However, they were all instantly Soul Annihilation a single psychic attack from Yun Mo Star Master Huyan Bo, and their fleet crashed into Earth.

It's all about timing and fate.

Two days later.

Wind Queen exclaimed joyfully, "Master, it's done! I've successfully cracked the Black Dragon Ship's intelligent system, and now the spaceship is ours!"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Wind Queen said, "It's not hard work, but this spaceship has been parked here for so many years. Although the three metal robots maintain it, it still needs to be repaired before it can be used."

"Furthermore, I checked and found that the most powerful single-target attack weapon inside— the B6 Laser Cannon— also has some minor problems, as do the three Flowing Silver Guards, all of which need repair."

She spoke in a low voice.

Lin Yan said, "It's alright, no rush, let's take our time."

"Now that everything is settled, let's get ready to leave."

He stepped out of the command room. The Black Dragon Ship was now under his control, and he could easily pass through the spaceship's gates and laser channels.

Call!

The black, saucer-shaped spaceship in front of them vanished instantly.

It appeared in the crystal core Wind Queen.

Lin Yan left the mothership and returned to the Sea Region. He did not forget his promise to Sha Luo Flower, so instead of leaving immediately, he hunted down a large number of monsters.

Only then did it break through the sea surface, return to the Azure Dragon fighter jet, and fly rapidly towards the Asian Continent of Huaxia Nation.

Lin Yan took out a Muya Crystal, a treasure used for cultivation, but also more for raising and taming beasts and cultivating Plant Lifeform.

He called out in his heart.

Several blood-red Leaf Vine appeared, enveloping Muya Crystal, before disappearing again.

"With the help of Muya Crystal, the growth of the Sha Luo Flower can be accelerated."

He gazed at the earth beneath the clouds, his thoughts drifting far away.

He had always felt a sense of urgency because even though Luo Feng eventually defeated the Golden Horn Beast in the original storyline, countless people died in that disaster.

But only now do I feel like I'm starting to settle down.

At least everything is moving in a positive direction.

Lin Yan, having regained his composure, returned to his life.

Lin Yuanhe is still a teacher, and he still loves his job. He says that passing on principles is just as important as passing on bloodlines.

He has always had a somewhat scholarly air about him, not in a derogatory sense.

Even though Lin Yan is already a very important person in this country, Lin Yuanhe is very proud of him, he still lives the life of an ordinary person and realizes his ordinary value.

Qiu Baihui kept nagging Lin Yan about when he would marry Wen Zhi'an. People get married very young these days. Although Lin Yan is young, there are quite a few people his age who are married and have children.

Because Wen Zhi'an would take Tangtang to the lab to play whenever he had free time, she initially believed him when he said they were just friends. But how could such a thing be kept secret? Soon, under her mother's questioning, she confessed everything.

Lin Yan did take this matter to heart and even discussed it with Wen Zhi'an. The girl's eyes were curved in a smile, and the affection in her eyes was almost overflowing, but in the end, they decided to wait a little longer.

Just like I said back in the North District.

As Lin Yan became increasingly outstanding, she also devoted her time to her goals, improving herself.

Even if you can't catch up, you shouldn't stop, because if you choose to stop, you won't even be able to see their backs anymore.

Liking something shouldn't be like this.

The research findings of the Truth Society were not sealed away because they were valuable.

It's just that the Truth Society itself is unable to accomplish this.

Hong meant that these research materials should be shared by all countries, but no malicious incidents should occur subsequently.

Lin Yan also discussed the direction of this topic with Wen Zhi'an, and left Wind Queen's auxiliary intelligence to help her process data. If it can really be done, it should be a very interesting thing.

Wen Xiuyong was not an expert in this field, so the research was entirely led by Wen Zhi'an.

She is equally capable of handling things independently.

Lin Tangtang's grades are very good now, not entirely because of interest. Being among such a group of people, she is always influenced by some positive things.

Soon.

Say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new; the Spring Festival is here.

Red lanterns hung on the trees along the road, adding a festive touch. Little Tangtang, dressed in the new clothes Lin Yan bought for her, looked like a lucky baby.

Firecrackers exploded.

She received a lot of red envelopes that day, but they were all ruthlessly taken away by Qiu Baihui, the big devil in her eyes.

Lin Yan extended New Year's greetings to many people he knew, Jia Yi Wen Xiuyong, Dong Qiancheng, Jia Yi, Deng Jun, Liu Mingxuan Chen Lian, Wang Bing, and Wei Xinran.

He wanted to let go of the pressure and forget the glory.

Before the first month of the lunar calendar was even halfway over, Lin Yan made some arrangements and left home.

This time he will be gone for a long time.

He left on foot, heading southwest.

He wanted to walk the path that group of people had taken more than a hundred years ago, to leave behind the noise and extravagance, and to see those who had overcome all difficulties by relying on their own character, emotions, and beliefs, and to witness their sincerity and passion.

We walked through wastelands, crossed snow-capped mountains, and finally found our final destination.

And your true self.
