Discovery

As long as Humins maintains intelligence sharing, Cecil and the forces behind her will continue to support Humins. Although Humins has become a glorious Intellect, he must continue to operate undercover and therefore must act in accordance with his identity.

Humins inherited all of his predecessor's memories. All the predecessor sought was to extend his lifespan and live a few more years. This goal did not conflict with Cecil's and his group's goals. Moreover, even if Humins had ambitions, he was alone. Even with some relatives and friends, he lacked the power to ask for anything more at a higher level. This was why Cecil and his group felt comfortable cooperating with Humins.

With Cecil's support, Humins could focus on his work in the laboratory related to Life-Extending Plant and gain firsthand access to research findings.

This collaboration can be considered a win-win situation. Of course, this is only based on the premise that Humins is still Humins.

Even now, the Life-Extending Plant no longer work for Humins, but this collaboration is quite beneficial for Rowan.

First, through this conversation, Rowan learned about the attitudes of some Epoch Clan members towards the Zerg. They believed that helping the Zerg expand their territory would make the Zerg have something to hold onto and wouldn't run away. This reason was extremely far-fetched, Rowan didn't believe it. They must have other motives, but they should all be in agreement on the desire for the Zerg to grow stronger.

Because Humins, as the direct liaison with the Zerg, can represent the Epoch Clan and the Star Sea Alliance, he wields considerable influence. On certain matters, leaning to the left or the right can lead to different outcomes.

Therefore, if they were to convey a flawed idea, one that didn't align with their own strategic plan, to Humins, and Humins then acted upon that idea, wouldn't they be creating trouble and increasing their own difficulties?

Secondly, Rowan also passed on some incorrect information to Cecil and his group through Humins, leading them to make some judgments that were favorable to the Zerg.

Sarah quickly came to this conclusion after watching the video, but then a look of doubt appeared on her face.

Under the guidance of the Overlord, Cecil had clearly concluded that the Zerg originated from the Primal Epoch Clan Laboratory, and the Zerg had successfully obtained a "legitimate" origin.

Cecil would certainly have communicated with the forces behind him afterward. At the time, the Zerg were quite mysterious and not much information was revealed. With this preconceived notion, it should have been easy for him to seize the high ground.

However, based on the information she has obtained so far, this viewpoint has not spread at all. The mainstream opinion among the Epoch Clan and the Star Sea Alliance has become that the Zerg have acquired the inheritance of a powerful alien civilization.

While these factors are largely irrelevant now that war has broken out, it suggests something went wrong. Did Cecil deliberately conceal this information? Did she fail to share her and Humins's deductions with their backers? And what was her purpose in doing so?

Or perhaps Cecil and his group possessed other intelligence, such as finding some information about the Biological Laboratory from the Original Epoch Clan?

However, the information provided by Humins was mostly true. For example, Godzilla was very likely something that the Original Epoch Clan created back then.

Rowan felt there was something wrong with Godzilla from the beginning. In the same ecosystem, evolution is the transformation between offense and defense. A strong shield gives rise to a sharper spear, and a stronger spear also gives rise to a stronger shield. Countless creatures complement each other and together build a huge food chain.

Godzilla's situation is like everyone still playing in the Stone Age, and a savage, relying on his own strength, created an atomic bomb without any industrial foundation or theoretical support—it's simply too incredible.

Or perhaps Cecil shared the information, but the organization behind her didn't want it to spread?

For various reasons, many people believe that the so-called New Epoch Clan is just an outsider disguised as an inheritor, and their prestige is nowhere near that of the Original Epoch Clan.

Therefore, if those people were to learn of the existence of a Biological Laboratory belonging to the Original Epoch Clan, containing the Original Epoch Clan's legacy of another technological path, some individuals and forces might develop malicious intentions.

The effects are exactly the same whether you replace the heritage of the Original Epoch Clan with the heritage of an unknown advanced civilization.

Or perhaps it was the mysterious "Luminous" that intervened; after all, theoretically, "Luminous" could have monitored the entire conversation between Humins and Cecil.

"Ying" is probably the only one besides Rowan who knows the truth.

However, "Ying" is just an artificial intelligence program, and it can only act according to established rules. Unless the Original Epoch Clan foresaw certain keywords, the possibility of "Ying" taking action is unlikely.

So why is that? The Overlord showed her this information, so he must know the reason, right? Thinking of this, Sarah's gaze shifted to Rowan, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Rowan knew what Sarah wanted to know, but he was completely clueless about what had happened. After that conversation, Cecil seemed to have genuinely encountered some problems; Humins had tried to contact her multiple times, but received no response.

Rowan originally wanted to use Humins to give Cecil a set of Biological Armor to get closer to him, but this plan fell through due to Cecil's disappearance.

Since Humins didn't know who the members of the organization behind her were, he couldn't contact anyone else, and this lead went cold for a while.

A considerable amount of time passed before another Epoch Clan elder contacted him, informing him that Cecil had entered hibernation, which was why he could not be reached. The reason for Cecil's hibernation was not explained.

Humins had no prior dealings with the newly contacted elder of the Epoch Clan, and tried to steer the conversation in further, but found the man to be extremely cold and difficult to communicate with.

What was originally an exchange of information turned into a one-sided demand. Although the faction continued to support Humins no longer managed to extract much information from them.

Seeing that the Overlord did not respond, Sarah cleverly understood the reason. But even so, this matter did not seem to be enough to trouble the Overlord so much. There must be more to this matter, so Sarah looked at Rowan with inquisitive eyes again.

Rowan nodded. This matter was at most a minor setback, and its impact had diminished significantly after the war began.

But just when everything was proceeding smoothly, Rowan unexpectedly found Cecil and discovered something, which was the reason for his dilemma.
