The World War Had Turned into a Chaotic Mess

" You know about us?" Ling Xuan asked, looking at Ye Chen in front of him.

"How so? Did you think you were hiding so well?" Ye Chen said teasingly as he walked up to Ling Xuan.

Ye Chen's words left Ling Xuan speechless. He really had thought that a native like Ye Chen didn't know about them. He hadn't expected that he was the one who'd been made a fool of.

This was a common failing among alien civilizations like the Denuo Civilization: deep down, they had never taken the natives of Blue Star seriously.

But that was only natural. After all, why should an interstellar civilization capable of creating gods respect a low-level civilization that didn't even know its world was a planet?

Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Ling Xuan. He grabbed the spear and gave it a light tug, pulling it straight out.

The intense pain made Ling Xuan let out a muffled groan. Looking at Ye Chen, he knew he was as good as dead.

At the thought, Ling Xuan closed his eyes. But after waiting a while, he realized Ye Chen still hadn't made a move. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Chen watching him with an amused, unreadable expression.

"You're not going to kill me?" Ling Xuan asked, voicing the question on his mind.

"You aliens are all excellent specimens for human experimentation. Killing you would be a waste."

Ye Chen naturally wasn't going to kill Ling Xuan so easily. After all, the man was a Super Soldier, and therefore extremely valuable.

Although he was only a First Generation Super Soldier, that was more than enough for the Yanhuang Empire to study at this point. Besides, if he were any more advanced, the Yanhuang Empire's current level of scientific research probably wouldn't even give them a clue where to start.

Ye Chen's words made Ling Xuan's eyes narrow. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to have that in mind, and it sent a chill through him.

He immediately tried to kill himself. Rather than be used as an experimental subject, bled and cut apart every day until he wished he were dead, he would rather die right then and there.

"Ah!!"

Ye Chen had been on guard for the man trying to kill himself as soon as he finished speaking.

After using a special method to cut off the unconscious Ling Xuan's connection to the Dark Dimension and seal the genes in his body, Ye Chen had him sent to the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

The biologists at the Imperial Academy of Sciences would surely be pleased with Ling Xuan as a specimen.

Meanwhile.

In the outskirts of the capital.

Hundreds of meters beneath an ordinary-looking village was a vast underground space, filled with all sorts of futuristic equipment.

And with one busy research scientist after another.

These people were the remaining core members of the Denuo Civilization. If anything happened to them, the Denuo Civilization might truly be finished.

In an office, Lian Feng was in the middle of some research when one of her subordinates came to report.

"Report: Deno Three just detected Ling Xuan uploading some of his Dark Data. Then the connection was suddenly severed."

At this, Lian Feng furrowed her brows. "Did that kid Ling Xuan run into some danger? Was he forced to upload his Dark Data? Where was he when contact was lost?"

"According to Deno Three's positioning, Ling Xuan's last known location was in London, Europe."

"I understand. Keep tracking him and see if you can find any trace of him."

After ending the call, Lian Feng immediately contacted Dukao. The call connected quickly, and she went straight to the point. "Commander, Deno Three just detected Ling Xuan uploading his Dark Data, but someone suddenly interrupted him. He only managed to upload part of it before we lost contact."

On the other end, Dukao fell silent for a moment after hearing the news. Then his low voice rang out. "I know."

With that, Dukao hung up.

Looking at the disconnected call, Lian Feng couldn't help shaking her head. She didn't need to guess to know that Dukao had sent Ling Xuan on another mission.

But it had little to do with her. She was just an ordinary scientist, responsible for the technical side of things. The rest wasn't her concern, and there was nothing she could do about it anyway.

Still, when she thought of what Dukao had done over the past few years, she had a feeling that the warmonger would eventually squander the Denuo Civilization's remaining strength.

Meanwhile.

After hanging up, Dukao stared expressionlessly at the world map before him.

The map was crisscrossed with countless lines, with Europe the most tangled and crowded region of all.

A few years earlier, after learning of the Yanhuang Empire's existence and guessing that another universe's civilization was behind it, Dukao had decided to stop them. He absolutely couldn't let them unify the world.

That was why he'd provided support to Europe. He wanted to make it the main battlefield, and he also wanted to drag the Russian Dynasty—the Romanov dynasty—into his scheme.

At the same time, to prepare for the worst, he had secretly strengthened China's technological capabilities. Great Ming was already in its final days and beyond saving, so under Dukao's influence, it fell a few years earlier than it had in the original timeline.

You could say that Ye Chen was a huge butterfly, and one small disturbance had set off a chain reaction.

On top of that, Dukao had mistakenly believed that another universe's civilization was interfering behind the Yanhuang Empire. This made him abandon his original plan and secretly step in to interfere directly.

As for the Angels' deterrence, he couldn't worry about that now. Besides, he didn't think he was interfering with Blue Star's development. He was only helping Blue Star's civilization resist an alien invasion.

By now, Blue Star had become one enormous mess. Europe was especially chaotic, thanks to Dukao's interference.

The entire European Continent had become a vast meat grinder, claiming lives every moment.

Every so often, another country was wiped out.

Russian Dynasty.

Tsar Boris Godunov listened to the report from the guardsman beside him, then looked down at the item in his hands. After a long silence, he looked at the Oriental man below and said, "This technical dossier is very valuable. Tell me, what exactly are you after?"

Gan Hong smiled. "Your Majesty, I'm sure you know about the threat the Yanhuang Empire poses on the European Battlefield. And now, this is no longer a matter concerning just one country. It's a war between every country in the world.

"The Yanhuang Empire's ambitions are now plain for all to see..."

Hearing Gan Hong's words, Boris Godunov understood. They wanted to use the Russian Dynasty as a weapon. But Dukao had presented him with a dilemma he couldn't refuse.

The Yanhuang Empire's threat was right before his eyes. He couldn't turn down the technological support Dukao was offering.

Though he had obtained advanced weapons from the Yanhuang Empire through various channels on the European Battlefield over the past two years, too little time had passed. They simply had no way to reproduce them.

After all, technological experts didn't just appear out of thin air.
