The information shared tonight was simply too much.

Calamity-level Aberrant Phenomena were like relentless mountains.

Even just hearing a tiny bit of information about them, one could feel the invisible pressure and deterrence.

What was even more terrifying was that civilizations couldn't trust each other.

Civilizations could also collapse from within.

The ability to "Control," the ability to "Seal," and some unknown abilities...

These nuclear-bomb-level "God's Skills" possessed the power to overturn civilizations, completely exceeding people's psychological expectations.

How could these people leverage their strengths?

This was indeed a silent pressure.

Seeing everyone lost in thought, Lu Yuan let out a soft sigh. He felt that sharing the information up to this point was enough.

The rest could only be up to humanity itself!

"Well then, that's it. I'll trouble everyone to worry about this. I don't want to come home and see a pile of ruins!"

For the rest of the time, he handed the Communicator to Old Cat.

He let Old Cat and the scientists on the other side discuss scientific papers.

After listening for a long time, Lu Yuan couldn't understand anything, so he just yawned and went to sleep on his own.

A night quickly passed. Old Cat was completely engrossed in conversation, chattering away all night!

He had serious conversations with the men.

He "meowed" when he saw beautiful women.

A lovable, chubby orange cat attracted the attention of all the pretty girls.

Lu Yuan felt irritated. What's going on? Why doesn't anyone love me? Do you all love cats?

Seeing that it was getting light, Old Cat happily ended the video call.

"Your Younger Sister has the potential to become a Holy King!"

"Just to be petted by her, I have to get you back to your homeland. Meow!"

This cat was so damn cheap now, acting up all day long.

"Her classmate, Miss Han Yue, has obvious secondary sexual characteristics. You kept staring at her chest, so it seems you like her very much."

"Although she's only 18, the age gap is a bit big, but don't be discouraged, you can pursue her."

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, had dark circles under his eyes because he was too excited and didn't sleep well. After hearing Old Cat's nonsense, he jumped up: "What do you mean the age gap is big? I'm only 5 years older than my Younger Sister!"

"That was before, comrade."

Old Cat said earnestly, "Now there's a difference of over a dozen years. In the future, it will be hundreds, even a thousand years."

A vein throbbed on Lu Yuan's forehead twice. "I'm just looking at a beautiful woman, what's the big deal? Also, can you please stop mentioning secondary sexual characteristics? It just makes you sound perverted."

Old Cat: "No, I'm just an alien cat. I have over a hundred genders. I'll say whatever I want."

Lu Yuan was so angry his teeth itched. He raised his hand and chopped off its head.

Old Cat, with its head on the ground: "Meow~ He's abusing the orange cat!"

All in all, no matter how reluctant he was, Lu Yuan could only return the metal ball to the Lize Civilization...

Lu Yuan had once thought about just keeping the thing. Anyway, he had the ability of Storage Space. He could just put the metal ball into the Storage Space and then run away.

If he escaped the Safe Zone, these Lize people wouldn't be able to catch him!

But in the end, he still didn't do such a morally corrupt thing.

On one hand, it's really difficult for civilizations to form friendships.

In this terrifying world where even "God's Skills" can be plundered from each other, only when both sides are weak upon meeting is there a chance for friendship to form.

When two very powerful civilizations meet, it's really unlikely they will trust each other.

One strong and one weak, they will only plunder each other.

Therefore, Lu Yuan ultimately resisted this temptation.

On the other hand, he still had some comrades here, which were those unconscious Lize people.

Without the bombs they transported in, Lu Yuan wouldn't have been able to defeat the Guai.

For the sake of this bit of camaraderie, he couldn't be too inhuman...

So after returning the Communicator, he also went to the isolation center to visit his former comrades.

These nearly three hundred people were all lying in hospital beds.

Their bodies were covered in eyeballs, occasionally twitching twice, with a nutritional device similar to an IV drip on their arms.

The six people who had fought alongside Lu Yuan were also unconscious.

"Still no way to wake up?"

Lu Yuan looked at Eagle Eye, then at Taduo.

Those opened eyes seemed to have lost their consciousness, without any focus, like people in a vegetative state.

A medical professor from the Lize Civilization said, "These extra eyes are linked to the Guai's main body. Now that the Guai is dead, they have lost their central control."

"Fortunately, their souls and brains are still intact, just in a dormant state... As for whether they can wake up, we are still trying to find a way."

"Can these extra eyes be removed?"

"Unfortunately, with our current biotechnology, it's still too difficult to decipher the mutation brought about by the Guai." The professor sighed deeply.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment. Although he had many methods, he was powerless in this situation.

"Mr. Lu, can you take the others out of the Safe Zone?" Just then, Governor Lyon walked quickly from outside the room.

Lyon had contacted his compatriots through the Communicator.

"Theoretically, yes, but there's a very, very big risk."

"If it fails, everyone will die."

Space Blink required a huge amount of mental energy.

Lu Yuan could at most wear light clothing; he didn't even dare to wear armor.

If he carried a 50-kilogram creature on his back, the consumption of mental energy would increase several times.

Furthermore, the moment of blinking, overlapping with the air, was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Lu Yuan knew when he would blink and could prepare for it; however, the person on his back would be completely unprepared. Clearly, higher strength was needed to withstand a large amount of air entering their internal organs, blood vessels, and even brain!

This was also the main reason why Old Wolf did not enter the Safe Zone.

"So, our soldiers can't go outside..."

Lyon was clearly a bit disappointed, hesitating to speak.

"Please speak. If I can help them wake up, I am still willing to make some contributions."

Lyon hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly said, "In other cities, there are a few ability users who might be useful."

"One of them has the ability of 'Awakening'. Even if someone is in a vegetative state, as long as their brain is intact, they can be awakened."

"Even if that Awakening ability user cannot breach the Safe Zone themselves, their blood has a certain effect... So we hope..."

"There is also a tree whose fruit has the effect of repairing the soul."

"Both of these things are in our First Civilization Branch."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. He didn't mind; it was just a little legwork.

(PS: I'm experiencing some serious writer's block, so the word count is a bit low. I'm organizing the subsequent plot.)

(Some readers might not like the plot about internal human development, but there's no other way. The human storyline still needs to be written. Please bear with me if you don't like it.)

(Finally, I'd like to ask for monthly votes QAQ)
