Truth Society

Buzz—

The instant Su Yuan completely refined the Grey Mirror.

He felt his mind shake, and his vision blur.

Ten seconds later.

Su Yuan quickly recovered.

"The mirror..."

Su Yuan looked at his empty hands, his expression shifting slightly.

His consciousness began to sink into the deepest part of his mind.

It was a hazy space, where the sea of consciousness of a living being resided.

Lifeforms below Level 1 had no idea where their sea of consciousness was. In fact, they had not even fully opened one.

At that moment, a Grey Mirror was floating in the center of Su Yuan's sea of consciousness.

"So it came here."

Su Yuan gathered a portion of his consciousness and appeared beside the Grey Mirror.

"This is indeed much better."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face. There were many benefits to storing the Grey Mirror in his sea of consciousness.

First, it was convenient.

With Su Yuan's strength, carrying a mirror was easy, but it was still an external object.

Now that the mirror was stored in his sea of consciousness, it was naturally much safer.

Second, it was more efficient.

With the Grey Mirror in his sea of consciousness, Su Yuan could consult it at any time.

He no longer needed to find a place where no one was around before taking out the mirror and asking it questions.

Simply put, only after refining the Grey Mirror did it truly belong to Su Yuan.

There was no need to worry about losing it, having outsiders discover it, or any other mishaps.

"Now that I've become a Level 1 Lifeform, there are many things I can do."

Su Yuan thought.

Things were all right within the Xia Kingdom; the Truth Society had not infiltrated it very much. But outside the Xia Kingdom? There wasn't a single country on Blue Star that wasn't influenced by the Truth Society.

Before becoming a Level 1 Lifeform, Su Yuan wouldn't dare make plans overseas. It would be all too easy for the Truth Society to pick up on the clues.

At the basement door, Tang Zhien was still waiting respectfully for Su Yuan to return.

Just then.

A voice rang in his ear.

"Come to the main hall."

Tang Zhien looked up, but there was no one else around.

"Weiwei, did you hear anything?" Tang Zhien asked Zhou Weiwei quietly.

"No. Why?" Zhou Weiwei replied, puzzled.

"Mm." Tang Zhien hesitated briefly, then immediately understood.

The voice only he had heard must have come from Su Yuan.

In the past, Tang Zhien might have been confused. But now that he realized Su Yuan was most likely a Grandmaster of Baodan, he instinctively attributed it to a Grandmaster's abilities.

In the main hall.

Su Yuan sat there casually. Before long, Tang Zhien arrived.

The method Su Yuan had used to summon Tang Zhien was a simple application of mental power. As long as Tang Zhien was within the range of Su Yuan's mental power, Su Yuan could transmit his voice to him from afar.

"Sir."

Tang Zhien greeted him respectfully.

Su Yuan glanced at Tang Zhien, understanding why he was so deferential.

When he had left the basement, Su Yuan had deliberately revealed a trace of his Level 1 Lifeform aura to strengthen Tang Zhien's loyalty.

"I'll send you a blueprint and a set of coordinates later. Follow the blueprint and build a laboratory at those coordinates."

Su Yuan spoke calmly.

This laboratory would serve as one of Su Yuan's bases for the foreseeable future. It would be used to produce the various technological weapons shown to him by the Grey Mirror.

In the depths of the universe, individual lifeforms could destroy the heavens and earth with a casual gesture. But the power of technology was just as terrifying.

As Su Yuan improved and evolved himself, he had no objection to developing some technological means as well.

And the reason for doing so...

Was naturally to stand against the Truth Society.

The Truth Society was rooted in the country across the ocean. Its members were top tycoons from around the world, with influence across countless fields, such as banking, research institutes, foundations, and multinational conglomerates. They even secretly supported some small countries...

The reason those top tycoons were willing to serve the Truth Society was that it possessed a drug called "Longevity," which could extend one's lifespan.

In addition, the Truth Society also had the means to create Artificial Humans comparable to Level 4 Lifeforms.

Level 4 Lifeforms possessed enough power to overturn the balance of power across the globe.

A century ago, it was precisely this power that allowed the Truth Society to secretly fan the flames and ignite the Great War of Nations across the world, hoping to rule the world through sheer force.

But the Xia Kingdom ultimately thwarted this plan.

At the time, the Number One Celestial of the Central Plains, Ye Kunlun, burned up his body, potential, wisdom, insight, and will, forcibly pushing his soul across the threshold of a Level 4 Lifeform. He unleashed his strongest strike and gravely wounded one of the Truth Society's Level 4 Artificial Humans.

The Truth Society was terrified by this. Unable to understand Ye Kunlun's state at the time, they could only hastily end the war and retreat across the ocean.

"The Truth Society..."

Su Yuan's gaze was deep.

To outsiders, the Truth Society was powerful and inscrutable, standing above all nations.

But thanks to the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan knew the Truth Society's true origins.

In 1876, a young man across the ocean tried to send a radio signal into outer space. The message was essentially an invitation for extraterrestrial civilizations to come to Blue Star.

The young man didn't think much of it at the time. After all, he wasn't the only one sending signals into outer space.

However, thirty years later, the device the young man had used to send the signal suddenly received a reply.

After that, the young man established contact with an Alien Force.

That young man was the founder of the Truth Society.

The many technologies possessed by the Truth Society, including the Longevity Serum and Level 4 Artificial Humans, had all come from this Alien Force.

The reason this Alien Force had done all this was that it coveted certain resources on Blue Star.

Deep beneath Blue Star's surface lay some special mineral resources that were quite precious to the Alien Force.

The Alien Force had given the founder of the Truth Society so much technological support in order to make the Truth Society protect those underground resources, preventing them from being accidentally damaged or taken.

Simply put, the Truth Society was a lapdog raised by the Alien Force.

A century ago, the Truth Society had provoked the Great War of Nations in order to rule the world and better protect the mineral resources the Alien Force wanted.

"Too bad..."

Su Yuan sighed. If possible, he had no intention of opposing the Truth Society.

After all, a genuine Alien Force stood behind the Truth Society, with technology advanced enough to kill every lifeform on Blue Star in a short time.

Su Yuan had no need to confront them directly. He could simply keep developing in secret and wait until he was strong enough to overturn everything before making a move.

If necessary, Su Yuan wouldn't mind demonstrating his value and joining the Truth Society.

However.

Through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan knew that in five years, the Alien Force's Interstellar Colony Ship would arrive on Blue Star.

By then, after mining all the precious resources it valued, the Alien Force would carry out an indiscriminate massacre of every lifeform on Blue Star.

Neither members of the Truth Society nor ordinary lifeforms on Blue Star would be spared.
