The Truth Society

Hum—

The moment Su Yuan completely refined the Grey Mirror, he felt his mind tremble 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. This was a hazy, indistinct space—the location of a life form's sea of consciousness. Life forms below Level 1 did not know where their sea of consciousness was, nor had they even fully opened it. Yet, at this very moment, a grey mirror was floating in the center of Su Yuan's sea of consciousness.

"So, it ended up here." Su Yuan condensed a portion of his consciousness, appearing beside the Grey Mirror.

"This is certainly much better." A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face; the benefits of storing the Grey Mirror within his sea of consciousness were numerous.

First, it was convenient. Although it was simple for someone of Su Yuan's strength to carry a mirror, it was ultimately an external object. Now that the mirror was stored within his sea of consciousness, it was naturally secure.

Second, it was efficient. With the Grey Mirror located in his sea of consciousness, Su Yuan could consult it at any time, without needing to find a secluded environment to take it out as he had before. Simply put, only after being refined did the Grey Mirror truly belong to Su Yuan. There was no need to worry about losing it, or others discovering it, or any other such accidents.

"After becoming a Level 1 life form, many things can finally be done," Su Yuan thought to himself.

The Xia Kingdom was fine; it hadn't been infiltrated much by the Truth Society. But outside the Xia Kingdom? There wasn't a single nation on Blue Star today that wasn't influenced by the Truth Society. Without reaching Level 1, Su Yuan wouldn't even consider laying out plans overseas, as it would be far too easy for the Truth Society to pick up on his trail.

At the entrance to the basement, Tang Zhien was still respectfully waiting for Su Yuan's return. Just then, a voice rang out in his ear.

"Come to the main hall."

Tang Zhien looked up, noticing that there was no one else around. "Weiwei, didn't you hear anything?" Tang Zhien asked, looking toward Zhou Weiwei in a low voice.

"No," Zhou Weiwei replied, puzzled.

"I see." Tang Zhien hesitated for a moment before immediately realizing what had happened. The voice he had just heard, which only he could perceive, must have come from Su Yuan. If it were before, Tang Zhien might have been confused, but after realizing that Su Yuan was likely a Grandmaster of the Baodan realm, he instinctively attributed it all to the methods of a Grandmaster.

Inside the main hall, Su Yuan sat casually, and before long, Tang Zhien arrived. The method used to notify Tang Zhien was a simple application of psychic power; as long as the target was within the range of Su Yuan's psychic reach, he could achieve this kind of telepathic transmission.

"Sir." Tang Zhien called out respectfully.

Su Yuan glanced at Tang Zhien, well aware of the reason for such deference. When he walked out of the basement, Su Yuan had intentionally released a trace of his Level 1 life form aura to solidify the man's loyalty.

"In a moment, I will send you a blueprint along with a set of coordinates. You are to follow the blueprint and construct a laboratory at that location," Su Yuan said in a calm tone.

This laboratory would serve as one of Su Yuan's bases for the foreseeable future, used to produce the many technological weapons provided by the Grey Mirror.

In the depths of the universe, individual life forms can destroy worlds with a mere gesture, yet the power of technology is equally terrifying.

While Su Yuan focused on his own evolution, he did not mind developing certain technological means as well.

And the reason for doing so...

Was naturally to oppose the "Truth Society."

The Truth Society, rooted in that nation across the ocean, consisted of the world's top billionaires who influenced numerous global sectors, such as banks, research institutes, foundations, and multinational giants, even secretly propping up smaller nations.

The reason those top billionaires were willing to serve the Truth Society was that the organization possessed a serum known as "Longevity," which could extend one's lifespan when consumed.

Furthermore, the Truth Society held the means to manufacture androids comparable to Level 4 life forms.

A Level 4 life form was a power sufficient to overturn the global balance of forces.

It was precisely because of this power that, a century ago, the Truth Society had secretly fanned the flames to incite a global war, intending to rule the world through absolute force.

However, this goal was ultimately thwarted by the Xia Kingdom.

At that time, the Central Plains' number one celestial being, Ye Kunlun, burned his own flesh, potential, wisdom, comprehension, and will to forcibly push his soul across the threshold of a Level 4 life form, unleashing a strike that severely wounded one of the Truth Society's Level 4 androids.

This scene terrified the Truth Society; unable to comprehend the state Ye Kunlun had achieved, 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, unfathomable, and stood above nations.

But through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan clearly understood the Truth Society's true nature.

In 1876, a young man across the ocean attempted to send a series of radio waves into outer space; the content of these waves was essentially a welcome to extraterrestrial civilizations to visit Blue Star.

The young man hadn't thought much of it at the time, as many others were sending signals into space back then.

However, thirty years later, the instrument he had used to send the waves suddenly received a reply.

From then on, the young man established contact with an alien force.

And that young man was the founder of the Truth Society.

The many technologies, the Longevity serum, the Level 4 androids, and more that the Truth Society possessed all came from this alien force.

The reason this alien force did so was that they coveted certain resources on Blue Star.

Deep within the crust of Blue Star lay special mineral resources that were quite precious to the alien force.

The alien force provided the founder of the Truth Society with so much technological support for the sole purpose of having the Truth Society protect those special underground resources, preventing them from being accidentally destroyed or mined by others.

Simply put, the Truth Society was nothing more than a lapdog raised by the alien force.

A century ago, the Truth Society pushed for a global war to dominate the world, the better to protect the mineral resources the alien force desired.

"What a pity..."

Su Yuan sighed. If possible, he did not intend to oppose the Truth Society.

After all, the Truth Society had a genuine alien force standing behind it, whose technological level was sufficient to wipe out all life on Blue Star in a short amount of time.

There was no need for Su Yuan to confront them head-on; he only needed to develop in silence, and it would not be too late to act once his strength was sufficient to overturn everything.

If necessary, Su Yuan would not even mind demonstrating his value to join the Truth Society.

However.

Through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan knew that in five years, the Interstellar Colony Ship of that alien force would descend upon Blue Star.

At that time, after mining the precious resources they valued, the alien force would carry out an indiscriminate massacre of all life on Blue Star.

Whether they were members of the Truth Society or ordinary lives on Blue Star, all were within the scope of the massacre and could not escape.
