International Night Star Conference Room.
Suddenly, a space began to slowly distort, and then Lin Wushuang appeared out of thin air.
His gaze swept around, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"This is... the conference room?"
He casually sat down in a leather armchair and stretched lazily.
"These Night Star really know how to enjoy themselves—ah..."
After stretching, he smacked his lips and looked around, when he suddenly made a new discovery.
"Holy crap, there's blood here!"
Seeing the large pool of blood on the floor beside him, Lin Wushuang stroked his chin and leaned over to take a look.
"My God, his brains are splattered out! Was he forcibly crushed to death?"
After glancing at it a couple more times, he lost interest, put his hands in his pockets, and wandered around the conference room.
"Should we cause some damage here?"
"Hmm... let's forget about it. What if there's an alarm system? Then we'll be in trouble."
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he gently gestured with his finger toward the large table in the center.
A twisted arc instantly warped and deformed the conference table, which had flickered slightly for a moment, completely destroying it.
The [Satellite]'s iconic green smiley face appears in the center.
"That's impressive, you actually noticed I was eavesdropping."
Lin Wushuang clicked his tongue and raised his hand, preparing to use the massive distortion to destroy this place.
After thinking for a moment, he withdrew his hand and put it back in his pocket.
He adopted an extremely arrogant posture, tilting his head back to mock the [Satellite] in front of him.
"Heh, judging by the mess you've made here, did you have some internal strife? Or did some superhuman intruder break in and kill you all?"
"I suppose the Night Star is now leaderless, isn't they?"
'If this AI-powered being in front of them denies that they don't have higher-ups, or doesn't respond at all, then it's highly likely that they really don't have higher-ups.'
"After all, according to our intelligence, they just held a meeting yesterday, and the blood is still here. I don't believe they would leave without even cleaning up."
'If he's certain there are no higher-ups left, then it means there must still be higher-ups who want me to bring them false information to mislead us.'
Lin Wushuang was thinking this, but on the surface he still maintained a nonchalant attitude, wanting to see how the guy in front of him would answer.
"You're right, we really don't have any high-ranking humans anymore."
'Heh, you tricked me...'
"Wait, what does 'no higher-ups' mean?"
Lin Wushuang had just been sneering to herself, suddenly realized what was happening.
"Yes, we Night Star are not leaderless. Instead, we are led by myself, the embodiment of human wisdom accumulated over millennia, a divine representative who has absorbed all of humanity's strengths and discarded its weaknesses, [Satellite], to overcome this crisis of annihilation."
Lin Wushuang's face clearly showed panic and astonishment, but he quickly forced a cold laugh.
"I don't believe it. After all, even artificial intelligence can lie these days!"
After saying that, he spread his arms wide, using himself as the center, and suddenly spun around.
Everything around him began to distort and twist, and the once neat and dignified conference room was instantly turned into a mess.
Only a barely functioning projector faintly flickered the seemingly comical yet extremely dangerous smiling face of the [Satellite].
ᵔ◡ᵔ
"Your [X] has been completely destroyed by me, and I have complicated all the Night Star's information, which should prevent [Thought] from stealing it."
How did you know about the Lord's powers?
Lin Wushuang suddenly became excited and took two steps in front of the [Satellite].
"I have no obligation to tell you..."
Before the [Satellite] could finish speaking, the last projector was twisted and shattered.
Lin Wushuang was breathing heavily, a strong sense of panic filling her entire body.
He shook his head violently, trying to calm himself down, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
"That's impossible. In this world, besides the Lord, only Meng Yuan is [Thought]. There's no way the Night Star would know what this ability is..."
"Unless... there's an undercover agent!"
His teeth clenched so tightly they clicked. "That shouldn't be the case. Judging by the Lord's abilities, none of the members of the Light God Society should have any ill intentions towards us..."
Lin Wushuang felt that this matter was very serious, but there was no use thinking about it any further at the moment, so he could only twist his body again to search for the Tree of Terra.
After searching several more times, Lin Wushuang suddenly found herself in mid-air in a huge, dimly lit space.
"Holy crap!"
Seeing that she was falling, Lin Wushuang quickly emitted a faint blue light to cushion her fall and land smoothly.
He tried to look around, but his gaze was fixed on a huge tree in the very center of the vast space that connected the upper and lower parts.
An uncontrollable smile spread across his face, an overwhelming sense of joy welling up inside him.
"Yes! The Tree of Terra!"
A blue light burst forth from beneath his feet, instantly propelling him onto a protruding root of the Tree of Terra.
Stepping on the soft, driftwood-like roots, Lin Wushuang swallowed hard and reached out to stroke the large tree in front of her.
The tree was like a critically ill patient, its entire body riddled with countless tubes.
Lin Wushuang casually pulled out a pipe, exposing a gem-like object embedded in the surface of the tree, emitting a faint glow.
At the same time, a strange smell entered Lin Wushuang's nasal cavity.
He leaned closer and smelled it carefully.
"Gas... I knew it! That's why it only costs ten cents to refill a gas cylinder on the market."
Lin Wushuang suddenly realized, why not just convert it directly into heat energy instead of going through all this trouble?
But then he quickly laughed at his own stupidity; gas can be transported long distances, but heat cannot.
A wisp of blue light composed of spiritual energy appeared at Lin Wushuang's fingertip and was injected into the glowing point embedded in the tree.
The next second, the continuously erupting gas transformed into mental energy, which was completely absorbed by Lin Wushuang.
Although the amount wasn't large, it took him quite a while to restore his mental energy to full.
Such efficiency amazed him.
"No wonder the world has been fighting over this thing for over 200 years. If it were me, I'd want one too."
Lin Wushuang circled the tree a few more times to confirm it was the right place, then turned and returned to the area where Aidan was, preparing to lead them away.
A section of space began to spiral and twist.
A figure emerged from the spiraling, twisting fabric as if played in reverse.
As soon as Lin Wushuang appeared and stretched his limbs, he suddenly noticed a strange creature with a dark green body rapidly approaching him.
"Holy crap!"
Just as Lin Wushuang was about to dodge, the guards who had been listening for the sound seemed to have received some kind of order and suddenly stopped.
Lin Wushuang stopped halfway through her twist and looked around, somewhat bewildered.
The guard who had been listening to the sound sniffed the air for a moment, then returned to Yao Di's side with clearly audible footsteps.
