"Boom!"
Yuan's words struck everyone's hearts like thunder. Bruis and the others fixed their gazes on Wu Daozi. Their weapons were held tightly, and the atmosphere grew increasingly somber.
Wu Daozi's expression froze for a moment, then he regained his composure.
"Oh? Why do you say that? Because of those murals?"
"That's only one reason. More importantly, it's your attitude."
"Attitude?" A hint of confusion flickered in Wu Daozi's eyes.
"That's right, attitude. What do you think I saw in these murals and carvings? Scenes from Dobilun Star's past? No, I saw arrogance, presumption." Yuan stared at Wu Daozi, trying to read something in his eyes.
"Can you elaborate?"
"On what grounds? You brought us to this place, toyed with us in the palm of your hand. Why should I tell you?" A cunning glint appeared in Yuan's eyes.
"Ha? Children are truly greedy. Fine, you are indeed as you said, the greed of a scholar?" Wu Daozi murmured to himself, then waved his hand. A small, dark object appeared before everyone.
Without Yuan's command, Bruis and the others dared not move rashly, but their tense bodies indicated they were ready to fight at any moment.
The moment they stopped, a circular Jade Wall floated in front of Yuan.
"This is the key to the experimental center. Without it, even if you enter the laboratory, you won't find the data you want."
Yuan hadn't expected Wu Daozi to actually give him something. He had only been trying his luck, not expecting any real gain, but there was an unexpected bonus.
However, he didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he gestured for Bruis behind him to accept it. Wu Daozi narrowed his eyes with even greater satisfaction at the cautious action, nodding in admiration.
After Bruis took it, Yuan slowly began to speak.
"Super Seminary. What kind of person with great ambition would name it that? The moment Wu Daozi descended upon Dobilun Star, he never regarded the people here as equals.
Eliminating war and quelling natural disasters were merely his methods of ruling this planet's civilization. Of course, how could a God care about these primitive civilizations?
I don't know if it was an experimental failure, or if something happened at the Super Seminary, but Wu Daozi left."
"Because the war was over, and the research on Beast Bodies yielded no breakthroughs due to limited potential." Wu Daozi interrupted Yuan's speculation, gesturing for him to continue.
"From the moment Wu Daozi established this so-called Dark Matter computer, he made preparations. He handed over the computer's design concept and blueprints to Dobilun Star, even clearly inscribing them externally, as if afraid others wouldn't see.
A typical academic type. Not overtly good, nor thoroughly bad. He disrupted Dobilun Star's balance, thinking he brought peace, but he destroyed its future."
Speaking of which, Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Gods, with a simple thought, could create a civilization or destroy a planet.
"Simply put, he didn't care. Whether it was Dobilun Star's sacrifices or the civilization's demise, he didn't care. In his eyes, I've already given you the threshold for God-making civilizations.
How much contribution the experiment received, how many people died, whether the civilization survives or not, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
"Arrogant, presumptuous. He didn't hide it at all on Dobilun Star. However, your eyes held something else."
At this point, Yuan looked directly into Wu Daozi's eyes and slowly said, "You are even more presumptuous and arrogant than him. If Wu Daozi didn't regard Dobilun civilization as people, then you are the one who disregards everything.
He was oblivious; you are indifferent. Gods, civilizations, life, indifferent to everything."
"That doesn't prove anything, does it?"
"Right, this is all just me talking nonsense. It's been thirty thousand years, so much data is gone, and I can't even read dark information. I'm not a true God King."
"You're bluffing me!" Wu Daozi's eyes widened. He thought Yuan had truly seen something, only to realize he was just spouting nonsense.
"What can I do? My Divine Body is still half-baked. Knowledge and technology are completely crushed by you. If I don't use some tricks, how can I find out the truth?" Yuan spread his hands helplessly, indicating he had no choice.
"So, you know who I am?"
"I have some guesses!"
"Tell me." Wu Daozi's interest was piqued.
"Well, are you going to show some more sincerity?" Yuan smiled, tentatively gesturing with his finger.
But this time, he was disappointed. Wu Daozi shook his head coldly. At the same time, he spoke with icy words.
"That's all, kid. Scholars are indeed greedy, but when there are no limits, it's self-destruction. Your survival or death depends on your answer."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the command center instantly turned to ice. No one doubted his words; after all, he was the one who smashed stars at people. Annihilating them was not difficult.
"Do I have to say it? Can I still escape now?" Yuan gave a wry smile. He truly didn't want to reveal himself at this moment.
"What do you think?" Wu Daozi raised an eyebrow, as if he had seen through Yuan's little scheme. He then said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, I won't leave you with no way out. Otherwise, in the outer universe, you would have died countless times already, wouldn't you?"
"Oh, are you such a merciful God? Your Excellency Death God Karl!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
As Yuan's words fell, two Taotie soldiers beside Bruis instantly collapsed to the ground, powerless.
"Bruis, make a note. These two have fallen."
"Your, Your Excellency, please stop joking. I can't take it anymore." Bruis's voice was tinged with a sob, clearly indicating he wasn't faring much better himself.
His eyes were vacant, and his legs trembled violently. Worry, fear, and a mix of emotions churned within him.
"I shouldn't be here. I should be in the cargo hold. How terrified I am to see this scene," Bruis wailed inwardly.
As Taotie's elite adjutant, it was now very handy for him to use. Yuan didn't blame him much upon seeing this. After all, Karl had been a god for tens of thousands of years among Taotie, so some fear was understandable.
"Good, very good. Yuan, I truly admire you a little. How did you figure it out?"
"Come on, Great God. I'm only a few years old. Just two years ago, I was still mining in a primitive civilization. How many gods do I know? Only you have the capability and the reason. What's so hard to guess about that?"
Yuan rocked back and forth in his command chair, not feeling particularly happy about Karl's praise. Because, as he said, he was only a few years old. Who else could have the motive and the ability to stir things up besides Karl, the highest god of the Taotie Civilization?
"Hahahaha, makes sense, makes sense."
At this moment, Wu Daozi, oh no, Death God Karl, felt like he hadn't laughed so unrestrainedly in a long time.
This also made him sigh inwardly, asking himself if he had been a dog for Kaisha for too long. Everything required caution, and yet he had been tricked into revealing so much information by a mere child.
After laughing a few times, Karl looked at the laboratory, where the Beast Body model was becoming increasingly bright.
"Heh heh, Yuan, since that's the case, have you guessed what your end will be next?"
