Chapter 1144 Deep-seated Hatred
Then, Liu Sheng, carrying Reggie, fell into complete darkness.

There is no wind, no up or down, no boundaries; it's as if the entire space has been hollowed out, leaving only a silence that can drive you mad.

For Reggie, the girl was gone too.

Only a pair of eyes could be vaguely seen in the distance, hovering there silently, as if observing her from the depths of darkness.

"I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

The sound echoed in the darkness.

Reggie is still in a daze.

It wasn't just the scene she had just witnessed that was beyond her comprehension—that strange "equality," the resurrected dead, and the blood ties that bound tens of thousands of people together…

This is impossible!

How could those people suddenly become a family?

But what chilled her to the bone even more was something else—she had clearly realized that this girl... was an "unknowable one"!
That's why he was able to crush her so easily.

You have to understand that she is a strategic-level Newtype, but just now... she didn't even have time to see how the other party made their move!
Every time she tried to resist, using her body as a weapon, she was only suppressed even faster.

Therefore, the numerous wounds and bloody mess on her body actually stemmed more from her fighting style than from the violent beatings she suffered.

You could say they went easy on you.

Therefore, Reggie couldn't muster any thought of resistance at all, and could only mutter a low, muffled sentence:
"You...go ahead and ask."

"I want to know why you did this to the Covin Group?"

"What is it?"

"What do you say?"

In that instant, the oppressive aura subsided.

Reggie felt some unseen tentacles suddenly approach, almost touching her forehead, as if they were about to pierce through her brain and expose all the thoughts in her mind.

Her scalp tingled, and she immediately changed her tune:

"You mean... the birth of the fetal deity?"

Calmness indicates approval.

“This was not something we chose… it was triggered on its own. The Covin Group must have encountered some situation that required the intervention of the Fetal God to resolve, which is why the hidden program in the gene chain was directly activated.”

Why did Helena become the vessel?

“Because…” Reggie bit her lip, “she possesses the bloodline of the ‘Unknown.’ Only a bloodline of this level can withstand the descent of a true fetal god.”

"So those who couldn't withstand it all turned into mindless puppets?"

“Yes…” Reggie lowered his eyes, “that’s a side effect.”

"Side effects? Such a downplayed side effect, do you know how many people will die from this?"

Reggie flinched, but instinctively defended himself:
"But...they've already agreed!"

“We, the Izetta Foundation, never force anyone to do anything against their will,” Reggie said urgently. “All of this is clearly stated in the agreement.”

"What agreement?"

"The agreement when accepting human modification already contains relevant clauses."

Silence spread through the space.

The next instant, phantom images of agreements fell from above, scattering like a torrential rain of countless pages, raining down on Reggie.

Of course, they have no weight.

It's just a projection retrieved directly from a certain data space.

"Which one? Point it out."

Reggie hesitated for a moment.

But faced with absolute power, she wouldn't do anything to anger the other party; she was a smart person.

So she slowly pointed out:
Article 73, Stability Maintenance Authorization
Party B understands and agrees that, after undergoing advanced human body modification, in order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the modified structure, Party A may initiate necessary remote correction procedures under conditions of abnormal metabolism, neural imbalance, cellular disorder, or external high-risk stimuli.

Article 156, Group Collaboration Support Access
In the event of a pollution threat, cognitive disaster spread, S-class containment failure, or a decline in systemic survival rate, Party B agrees to access the high-level collaborative network designated by Party A and accept unified collaborative support and behavioral scheduling.

Article 584, Exemption from Extreme Intervention Risk
Party B understands and accepts that during high-risk intervention procedures, there may be short-term or periodic memory reconstruction, blurred self-boundaries, emotional shifts, and abnormal perception of cognitive continuity; if such changes are necessary to maintain life, reduce overall risk, or ensure system stability, they shall not constitute infringement or breach of contract.

Article 813...

One after another.

The right to independence is lost in complex words and phrases.

"That's quite a plan."

Liu Sheng sneered inwardly.

Indeed, who would bother to carefully and meticulously study this thousand-page agreement when they are so eager to gain power, longevity, or a higher social class?
And so, step by step, they fell into the trap of the Izetta Consortium, leading to the complete demise of the Kovin Group.

“This isn’t a bad thing, and we accept these terms as well,” Reggie argued. “In the face of extreme crises, only by working together can we have a chance of survival.”

"If that's the case, why are you still competing with Bell and Tyran to annex other families?"

“We have no choice…” Reggie’s expression changed. “Gaowei doesn’t give us any opportunity to cooperate.”

She suddenly realized something—

"Perhaps... the reason why the Kovin Group was taken over is that it encountered an opportunity that could unite our entire planet and ultimately escape our current predicament. That's why the Deity of the Fetus was needed to descend and intervene to protect us and prevent an uncontrollable situation from arising!"

The being in the darkness remained silent.

Reggie felt a glimmer of hope and quickly struck while the iron was hot:

"You're so powerful. Wouldn't it be great if you cooperated with us to find out what caused the arrival of the Fetal God? Maybe we could leave this place together!"

How do you plan to find it?

“This…” Reggie swallowed hard, trying to sound calm and believable, “I need to return to the Izetta Corporation.”

"We researchers need to retrieve the memories of the fetal spirit's remains. Only in the foundation's laboratory do we have sufficient authority and equipment to do reverse tracing."

"I see..."

The other party was pondering.

Reggie felt a secret sense of relief.

Unexpectedly, the other party's next sentence was:
"Thank you for your cooperation, I know what to do."

"Wait, wait, wait a minute!"

Reggie panicked instantly, and his voice changed.

"Please, please let me go! I'm not doing this for myself, I'm... I'm doing this for you all!"

"Oh?"

“My mother…my mother is Eve Izetta, a member of the board of directors of the Izetta Foundation.”

The name seemed quite famous, so Reggie had been expecting a reaction from the other person, but to her disappointment, there was no reaction at all, only silence and pressure.

She had no choice but to continue, forcing herself to speak:
"If she doesn't see me go home today, she'll definitely come looking for me!"

"is it?"

"You...you're a newly established family, right?" Reggie's voice trembled. "It's not worth it to go head-to-head with the Izetta Corporation at a time like this."

Are you threatening me?

"No, no, no, no, absolutely not."

Reggie shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

This was the first time she had pleaded so humbly, but she received no pity in return.

“I just feel that you, sir, could have a much longer-term future… In fact, our Izetta Foundation could even cooperate with you—”

"no need."

Liu Sheng's answer was resolute.

"On the contrary, I look forward to dealing with your Izetta Foundation."

This was the first time Reggie had ever encountered someone who didn't want to cooperate with the Izetta Foundation but instead wanted to make an enemy of them, leaving him speechless.

Why?

"Why?" Liu Sheng chuckled softly. "Perhaps...it's for revenge?"

“Revenge?” Reggie almost cried out. “What…what grudge could we possibly have? We can talk about it! We can talk about it!”

"If anyone has truly offended you, please speak freely. Our Izeta Foundation will never tolerate such blind and ignorant individuals who dare to offend the 'Unknown'!"

"Really?" "What if I told you that guy is your 'spirit of conception'?"

Reggie was speechless.

Do you recognize it?

Suddenly, a brilliant nebula appeared in the dark space.

The image, a blood-red color, is shaped like a curled-up baby. Just by looking at it, one can sense its malevolence and terror.

Reggie's lips trembled.

Although she didn't know where it came from.

But in this appearance, no Izetta would ever mistake her for someone else.

This is the fetal spirit.

Liu Sheng received confirmation from Reggie's gaze.

My heart sank.

How many people has the fetal spirit harmed?
It ruined the immortal ship that set sail from the Seven Mysteries Order world.

It harmed... She Chan.

In a world where the fetal deity has descended, how many people live in dire straits?

Later, the celestial ship that set off from the snow mountain also perished in the void because of the fetal deity.

If this is indeed a scheme by the Izetta Foundation...

In other words, from a very early time, the fetal spirit traveled thousands of miles to be implanted in the experimental field of the mother planet, absorbing the power of the entire planet.
Did the Banlan Star and the Abandoned Ring Star test field already have a connection so long ago?

Or……

Even the Izetta Foundation didn't know that they were nothing more than puppets of a higher dimension.

The origin of everything...

Where exactly?
Reggie sensed the heavy aura spreading from the darkness and couldn't help but tremble, feeling as if his soul was about to be torn apart by this majesty.

"no, do not want……"

She felt as if she were looking into an abyss.

In the abyss, countless enormous tentacles were slowly reaching out towards her, one wrapping around her hand, another around her foot, and another around her throat, dragging her down little by little...

"Please...please..."

Reggie's words gradually lost their complete shape.

Just when she was on the verge of a complete breakdown, the pressure suddenly stopped.

She was like a drowning person being pulled up from the bottom of the water, gasping for breath uncontrollably.

"Please, please!"

"I can let you go."

A glimmer of light suddenly rekindled in Reggie's eyes.

"but--"

"I need you to do something for me."

……

After returning to the palm grove.

Liu Sheng then dumped out the huge pile of materials he had rummaged through the Kowen Group's warehouse, covering half the room.

Metals, ceramics, resins, synthetic materials, various parts, chips, cables, sensors, and modules whose purpose is not yet clear, and even semi-dried or formaldehyde-soaked biological tissues, are all piled up haphazardly.

She sat in the middle, looking down and picking through the items one by one, trying to see if she could assemble a simple detector.

She wanted to probe the integrity of the soul.

If we can sift out those souls that still retain relatively complete consciousness and structure, then we can retrieve [Gombazka] from the colorful atmosphere and reintroduce it to the human world.

But there is one thing—

Loading requires materials.

The reason why the people of the outer city of Kovien were able to be resurrected was because Tolena provided the raw materials—although the source may have been these people, they had only existed as fertilizer for a long time.

If she wants to resurrect more people, she must consider where the materials will come from.

Not to mention that the molecular structure must be consistent with that of the human body.

The key is that it must be able to hold a soul.

Just like the body that Liu Sheng is currently using on his home planet, it was essentially formed using Heavenly Evolution Stone and... She Chan as raw materials.

Unfortunately, she didn't have enough Celestial Stones to create humans.

We need to think of another way.

But that's the second step; let's finish the first step first.

Just as Liu Sheng had selected the usable materials and was about to begin refining the weapon, countless vines climbed up from the balcony.

It spread all the way into the house, intertwining and piling up, eventually slowly shaping into a human form.

As soon as the humanoid figure took shape, the first thing it did was pick a coconut from a pile of coconuts in the suite, stick a vine in it, and take a big gulp.

"Aunt Lan, have you spoken with Tolena?"

No matter what, Zhang Lan was Wen Weilan's mother. Although the two did not get along, Liu Sheng still treated her with the respect due to a junior.

Upon returning, Zhang Lan immediately rushed into the depths of the jungle to search for Tolena.

Since we all look similar, it should be easier to talk to each other.

"We talked."

“I talked to her for quite a while in the woods, but unfortunately her remaining consciousness was very faint, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind, so she couldn’t explain many things clearly.”

"But we can probably confirm a few things—"

"The first thing is that her obsession is to protect the people of Kovien, so she will do this."

"The second thing is that her power comes from her genes; the title of 'Entropy Defender' is hereditary."

"So this jungle has nothing to do with her power?" Liu Sheng asked.

"How did you know?" Zhang Lan asked in surprise. "That's right, that's the third thing—this jungle that absorbs souls is being helped by someone behind the scenes."

"who is it?"

She couldn't explain it clearly.

Liu Sheng nodded: "It's obvious that these are two completely different systems of power—the Entropy Reverser, as the name suggests, is probably related to reversing the increase of entropy."

"If we delve deeper, it might involve forces like time reversal, state regression, structural restoration, or even pollution purification..."

"This power is just too amazing!" Zhang Lan exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Sheng simply shook his head, his expression somewhat subtle.

Because she knew that although such an ability sounded amazing, she had seen more than one person with it before.

Moreover, if viewed on a truly high-dimensional scale, is this ability really considered particularly outstanding?

Not necessarily.

In some ways, it can even be described as a double-edged sword.

Once one becomes an "unknowable being," one can enter higher dimensions and intervene in nonlinear time and causality.

However, this will certainly come with extremely strict restrictions, and may even lead to serious backlash.

Just look at Ling Yuke to know.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense why Tolena didn't become the top "Unknown One" on the planet Variegated.

Even her death might be related to this force.

The voice of "the world" chimed in:

The probability is 96.23%.

[And because you have face blindness, there are some things you seem unaware of.]

Liu Sheng: [?]

[Never mind, it's more interesting not to tell you yet.]
