Chapter 1117 A Colorful Dilemma
So when the course ended and formal negotiations began...

Helena adopted a very humble posture.

"Originally... I thought you wanted to meet because you had something to ask of me."

"Either they don't understand that this cruiser needs guidance, or they want us to provide resources, technology, or even the path to awakening evolution..."

"So I even brought our Chief Technology Officer with me. But..." she shook her head with a wry smile, "We're the ones who need technical guidance."

She didn't care about Oze's feelings either.

However, Ozer didn't pay attention to that at the moment. Instead, his gaze lingered on the array patterns and derivation formulas on the light screen.

Currently, only he, Helena, and Lord Liu's golden phantom are in the huge hall; everyone else has left.

Ozer dropped all pretenses and adopted a humble, eager-to-learn attitude:

"Helena is right. I wonder if this... Lord Liu, could you perhaps offer me some guidance later?"

Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

"Lord Feng, you're too kind. We can exchange ideas in a bit. I'm also curious about the technology on your planet, Banlan."

Oze's face lit up with joy instantly.

I didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to; they were nothing like the primitive, uncivilized "natives" I had imagined.

However, Liu Sheng then changed the subject: "However, we really don't want what you're saying."

The two men's expressions hardened; they knew they were about to get down to business.

"We mainly want to ask you a few questions."

"Please ask."

Why do you want to find General Hongshan?

Helena and Ozer's expressions changed instantly upon hearing this.

Liu Sheng's gaze darkened slightly.

She already knew that this seemed to be a secret, and that the memories of those scavengers from the Splendid Star who entered the Red Mountain Memorial Park back then had even been sealed.

Those scavengers who entered the inner sect of the Blood and Flesh Immortal Ship were also unaware of this, only knowing to obey orders and speculating that General Red Mountain was related to the cultivation methods of the Earth Mother Civilization.

Of course, this was not a mistake.

Liu Sheng's "spiritual transformation method" was inspired by General Hongshan's "energy fusion body".

It can be said that the cornerstone of the "Three-Energy Unification" model was General Hongshan.

But how it came about remains a mystery.

Although Liu Hongyi accompanied Hongshan in his efforts to find his memories, using methods such as hypnosis, psychological suggestion, and subconscious search, she still found no clues.

Perhaps it's because the environment isn't right.

Everything originates from the Brilliant Star; perhaps we should look for the source there.

"What? Can't I say this?"

Liu Sheng understood the expressions on their faces.

“It’s not that it’s hard to say…” Helena quickly shook her head, “but rather, we only have a superficial understanding.”

He hesitated for a long time.

"It is said that General Hongshan possesses... a secret that will surely enable him to break through the Unknown."

Liu Sheng faintly heard a cracking sound of a hard candy breaking from another space, and knew that the owner of that sound was in turmoil.

Even Liu Hongshan himself failed to break through the "unknowable".

Because she can't find her memories, she naturally can't find the anchor point of her abilities. So even now, despite having the "decentralized godhood" system, she still can't break through that bottleneck and take the final step.

This is why Liu Sheng wanted to start by asking about this matter.

Regardless, Liu Hongshan had helped her and the world, so she wanted to repay him.

This answer, however, has now led to a dead end.

"General Red Mountain...is he really in your hands?" Helena asked cautiously.

"What?" Liu Sheng raised her eyes coolly.

"N-nothing!"

She waved her hands repeatedly, afraid of angering this young "unknown".

Although the other party seems very friendly now.

But she had seen the temperaments of many "unknowns" on the planet Variegated—these were beings that were closest to higher dimensions and also closest to the abyss, so it was normal for them to have strange temperaments.

"But no one knows the specifics of the secret, not even the nobles of the Spectrum Star. They have been secretly searching for General Red Mountain's whereabouts all these years."

"That's why, after learning of our planet's existence, your attention shifted from General Hongshan." Liu Sheng watched as the two men's expressions changed once more.

"After all, compared to that elusive and boundless secret, a certain path to becoming an 'unknowable' is much better."

“That’s right, I know you’re avoiding the main issues and trying to hide what you really want.”

As Liu Sheng spoke, he revealed something colorful.

And there was the enormous divine body within the light screen.

Helena's eyes widened.

Oze is the same.

His eyes gleamed with greed.

But he quickly regained his senses.

They knew they had completely exposed their true desires.

But the next sentence shattered their last glimmer of hope.

"Unfortunately, this thing no longer exists."

Helena was surprised, then suddenly understood.

"So you have become an 'unknowable one'."

"It is."

Liu Sheng admitted it.

Although the key is the "decentralized godhood" system, the beginning of everything, and indeed the key, is the divine body.

Helena then realized that even if the Coveyne Group really did invade that abandoned planet, their original plan would not succeed.

He immediately felt dejected.

"How could this happen... Why did this happen... Everything is over."

At that moment, Ozer pulled Helena with a stream of particles and whispered a reminder:
"Wait, not necessarily."

Helena looked up at Ozer and frowned.

"The one before us is the 'Unknown One'."

"That's right!"

She exclaimed in surprise, her gaze towards Liu Sheng once again burning with fervor, even fanaticism, shining with a hopeful light.

She never imagined that her plan to use leverage to get the Covey back from the "natives" would end up having to offer everything to beg them...

"Tell me, is your eagerness to advance to 'Unknown Ones' related to Advent Day?"

Helena's lips curled into a bitter smile: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Lord Liu."

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

I didn't expect even the title would change.

"Of course, this is not entirely without benefits for adults, after all, your world is also facing Advent Day."

Liu Sheng nodded: "Go on."

Helena took a deep breath and sorted out her chaotic thoughts: "Because only when we are promoted to nobles can we participate in a program."

"programme?"

“Yes, it’s a variety show.” Helena smiled wryly. “Only nobles can sign up, and only the ‘Unknown’ can participate.”

Liu Sheng was also taken aback for a moment.

Oze's expression also turned ugly.

"Yes, I know this reason is ridiculous and childish, but reality is just that ridiculous and childish."

Helena gave a self-deprecating laugh, her face turning gloomy.

"Although our planet Banlan belongs to the Federal Empire, the Descent Day is imminent, which is the final end. We are no exception. In the end, we are nothing more than a dog of the Federal Empire, a subordinate colony that can be abandoned at will."

"You probably don't understand, we clearly have warp technology and ships, so why don't we leave?"

Liu Sheng nodded.

She did have doubts about this.

But I already had a rough idea in my mind.

"Because our star system has been sealed off."

Helena's face was deathly pale.

"No one can escape it."
