Chapter 339 The 5332 That Fell From the Sky
It's worth mentioning that Xue's Law actually discovered the Dauntless Empire, where 5332 is located, in a neighboring galaxy 87 light-years away from this planet!

5332 Their empire is actually not far from the Ninth Apostle!

This startled Xue Dinglu, who suddenly realized that the invasion of Colony Star 3 of the Dreadnought Empire by the Zerg swarm might have been the work of the Ninth Apostle.

Perhaps the Ninth Apostle only wanted to test how strong this neighbor was before making further plans, but He did not expect the Dreadnought Empire to be so powerful, completely crushing a group of Zerg Queens He had borrowed. Perhaps He felt that the idea was a bit too difficult and that the martial spirit was too abundant, so He decided to make further plans.

Of course, all of this is just Xue's speculation. Whether Colony Star 3 of the Dreadnought Empire was actually the Zerg Emperor deployed by the Ninth Apostle is something only the Ninth Apostle himself knows.

However, there are records of 5332 empires in the history of this planet, which is why Xue's Law believes that the destruction of the Dreadnought Empire's third colony may really be the work of the Ninth Apostle.

The fearless mechs of 5332 thwarted the Ninth Angel's plot and even left the Ninth Angel forever within the Super Iron Curtain.

This can be seen as revenge by these fearless mechs for the billions of compatriots who died on Colony Star 3.

Xue Luding thought that perhaps this information could be passed on to 5332, so that they could find the culprit and take revenge.

However, for the Dreadnought Empire's insect-exterminating mechs, such retaliation is probably not enough. The blood debt of billions of people is too cheap for the Ninth Apostle. It is estimated that the subsequent insect swarms will still hold a grudge.

……

They arrived at the Judgment Grounds and, as expected, found the group of people who looked like they'd seen a ghost.

"Hey, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Xue Dinglu looked at Lana, who was in a daze, and waved his hand in front of her many times without any reaction.

Tsk, she seems to be getting a little dim-witted, just like Little Dragon Girl. It seems like all dull-witted kids look alike.

"Oi, are you alright?" Xue Dinglu continued to wave in front of her, even fearing that the aftershocks of the battle had stunned her, and prepared to use the cursed blood to heal her.

After a long while, she seemed to come to her senses and bowed with a very humble attitude. At this moment, her posture and demeanor were even more like a maid than a maid, which made Xue Luding feel very uncomfortable.

"I apologize, Your Excellency, please forgive my past rudeness..." The noblewoman from the count's family immediately became so humble that even Xue Lude felt uncomfortable. If Xue Lude wanted to sit on this ground covered with volcanic ash, she would probably just crawl on the ground and use herself as a stool.

Sigh, this is pointless. It's not even as good as those dull, drooling kids who are cured.

Xue Law still prefers that proud but polite and elegant noble lady; at least when teasing her, it feels like teasing Fafnir.

“Let’s go back,” Xue Dinglu said immediately.

The young lady from the noble family followed behind him very cautiously, always a step behind Xue Lude. She clearly saw herself as a maid, and Xue Lude went along with it, just like how some people from certain planets would kneel down to someone who shone brightly...

He hated this attitude, but he couldn't stop it, so he just let it be.

The female pirate beside him, however, maintained the same attitude as before. She nudged Xue Dinglu hard on the other side and asked, "Are you really an alien?"

“Genuine and genuine.” Xue Dinglu said, then thought for a moment and started spouting nonsense, “From the neighboring M78 Nebula, nicknamed the Cosmic Street Scoundrel, the Apostle Killer.”

"But why do aliens look so much like us?" The female pirate even tried to touch Xue Luding's face, but he quickly dodged her with a dive and a swing.

"Don't rummage around. As for why we look like you, you'll find that most races look the same if you go to the universe. Even those that don't look the same probably have some kind of human incarnation. As for why this is the case, just think of it as all intelligent beings in the universe growing towards the appearance of 'gods'," Xue Dinglu explained.

He didn't really understand the principle of convergent evolution. It was like how the ancestors of people in this world were all deep-sea mollusks, and even grew into squid-like creatures in the ocean before gradually coming ashore. Xue's Law's ancestors evolved from fish into amphibious salamander-like creatures, then into loose mice, and then evolved all the way up.

The directions and progress of evolution are completely different, but in the end, the forms of intelligent beings are the same. However, according to Xue's Law's previous use of the cursed blood to test Lana's body, the bones of people in this world are mainly cartilage, which is not hard enough, but their flexibility and suppleness are several levels higher than those of Earthlings.

In terms of temporary flexibility and the overall elasticity of the body, they far surpass those of Earthlings.

This may be due to differences in basic physical structure caused by different ancestors.

He used to think that the ancestors of people in this world might be some kind of mollusc, like a shark, but he never imagined that they evolved from mollusks.

“Wait, aren’t you ‘God’?” the female pirate asked.

Xue Lude looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at a country bumpkin, making the pirate lady feel a chill run down her spine as she replied, "Did I say something wrong?"

"If you think that I am a 'god', then I have nothing to say. After all, I have only temporarily obtained the authority over the planet, which is insignificant in the universe."

"is it?"

“Yes.” Xue Dinglu nodded, and then told the story of the Venerable King.

For a moment, they seemed to have seen a ghost. After all, from their perspective, a near-5th rank was no different from a true god, and they considered someone like Xue Lude, who held power, to be a supreme god or something similar.

As for the universe, galaxies, faster-than-light expansion at the edge of the universe, and the story of the King, they sound more like ghost stories.

Xue's Law could only wave his hand. The world originally had the oldest tribes and civilizations that began to appear nearly ten million years ago, but the progress of civilization was as if its legs had been broken. At this time, the world had just entered the stage of the budding industrial revolution.

As for who broke civilization's leg, deep within the earth's core, in a seal no one can discover, the squid who endures the ultimate humiliation can choose to take responsibility for it.

For them, it was not bad. After all, the human world had experienced at least 1300 years of peace after the Yellow Weasel established the country, which allowed the empire to develop to the point where it had reached the level of the Industrial Revolution.

As for the Demon Realm on the other side, it can be said to be as miserable as those scalpless people in the Americas.

Xue Luding slashed open the portal and stepped inside in an instant.

Lana, the pirate girl, and the archer also stepped in.

When they arrived, they were stunned. The whole world was desolate. The earth was pitted and cracked, and the dry grass lay curled up on the ground. When the wind blew, it would break into dust and raise a cloud of yellowish dust.

Several thin, bony figures hunched over on the edge of the field, their fingers digging into the cracks in the soil, trying to find any remaining grass roots.

Their eyes were sunken, their skin clung to their bones like a layer of withered paper covering their jagged features. In the distance, a child was curled up in his mother's arms, his lips cracked and bleeding, but he didn't even have the strength to cry.

Seeing this scene, so out of place with the human empire, both Lana and the two heroic spirits were too shocked to speak.

"Where is this...?" they asked in shock.

"What you call the Demon Realm, I actually think it's better called the Kate Continent, because the humans here call themselves the Kate People," Xue Dinglu said.
"Although your two races have fought for countless years through the Great Expedition, you are of the same race. Now there is no reproductive isolation, and your genes are quite similar. It's just that when you enjoy good weather and abundant harvests, they have to endure endless natural disasters, and vice versa..."

Xue Luding looked at the land and said silently, "When the weather is good and the crops are plentiful, it is your ancestors who are experiencing endless natural disasters. This is just a rule set by that squid guy. I have only changed this rule now."

They silently watched this world of suffering. The trees not far away had long been stripped of their bark, revealing pale trunks, like corpses drained of blood and flesh. Several crows circled low in the sky, their hoarse cries piercing the stagnant air.

The air was thick with dust and despair, and occasionally a faint groan would drift out from the thatched hut, only to be quickly swallowed by the deathly silence.

“My God…sir, shouldn’t we do something?” the archer said first.

"Don't worry, let the dust settle," Xue replied.

They didn't quite understand what Xue's law meant, but soon, the sky became slightly gloomy, and then a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Everyone in the world craned their necks, opening their mouths to catch a tiny bit of rainwater, as if that was all they wanted to do to survive.

But soon, they sensed that something was wrong.

Suddenly, I had strength again!
The raindrops instantly restored their strength. No matter what hunger, disease, or injury they had suffered, they were instantly healed, and their physical suffering and torment gradually improved. Everyone wept with joy. They looked up in the rain, danced, and sang songs unique to this continent.

A person, like a wizard, kept playing a xylophone, the sound seemingly weaving through the entire rain curtain.

Xue Lude simply stood in the rain, and a large amount of rainwater slowly gathered beneath him through the earth. Then, this gathered rainwater turned blood red and gradually returned to Xue Lude's body.

These rains were infused with the blood of the curse. This was the first time Xue Law had done this, using a rainfall event covering tens of millions of square kilometers of land to infuse the rain with the blood of the curse.

After this level of dilution, the amount of cursed blood is so low that it is undetectable, and even its ability to absorb suffering and heal has shrunk many times over.

However, this level of cursed blood was enough to help them recover from 1300 years of suffering, slowly resume production, and rediscover their civilization.

Each drop of rain contains a tiny amount of cursed blood, and when this cursed rain falls on the continent, it can heal all suffering, disease, and pain.

The child's loud, clear cries echoed in everyone's ears. They looked at the child in the distance who had almost lost consciousness, but now he was crying very hard. The mother next to him, who had been thin and bony, now looked like a normal person, only slightly malnourished.

She kept comforting the child, but her face was already filled with longing for the future.

"This...this..." The group was utterly stunned by this miraculous scene. None of them were from the Demon Realm era. If the Golden Emperor were to come here, he would probably feel nostalgic, since he grew up in the Demon Realm and was extremely familiar with this kind of scene. Returning here would feel like returning home.

However, these women were all born after the Golden Emperor established his empire and things returned to normal, so the scene here was unimaginable to them. Xue Luding's miraculous restoration of this hellish place to the human world through the rain was a shock to them from the bottom of their hearts.

This resulted in Lana, the noble lady from the Earl's family, showing even greater respect, while the two Heroic Spirits began to feel quite uncomfortable.

More and more rainwater gathered at Xue Dinglu's feet through the earth, and all the cursed blood within it returned to his body.

He manipulated the rain clouds and sea breezes of this continent through the power of the world, distributing them evenly across the entire continent, while simultaneously infusing them with the blood of the curse, absorbing the suffering and pain of hundreds of thousands of people.

If it were his former self, Xue Lude would never have dared to even think about it. Whether it was manipulating clouds and the atmosphere on a large scale, infusing the cursed blood into the clouds, or saving hundreds of thousands of people with the cursed blood at the same time, it would have been a pipe dream for him in the past.

But in this world where he has complete control over power, these things become effortless.

This subtle and gradual absorption process restores the vitality of the entire continent, which is more effective than simply and crudely using Genesis.

After all, Genesis is more suited to planets that are completely dead or places that are half-dead, while this continent has only suffered more natural disasters and been plundered by the divine tree time and time again, and its basic vitality has been preserved.

Even if Xue Law hadn't sent this cursed rain, the entire continent would have been able to recover within a few decades as long as the weather was favorable. Xue Law simply absorbed the suffering that would have taken decades to recover from in an instant.

As for the suffering absorbed... Xue Lude temporarily stored it all in the Golden Grail, and then slowly transferred it to the old man of the Squid Clan.

Well, hopefully he won't die completely while enduring the ultimate humiliation and this suffering. If that happens, the Four Evil Gods will lose this toy and might have to focus their attention on the weasel.

At the same time, Xue Ding opened his consciousness space and released the seven people who were tied to the cross.

They were all participants in this great expedition, six men and one woman. However, they were unlucky and were all easily captured by Xue Luding, knocked unconscious, and tied to crosses. But they were also lucky because they no longer needed to experience the great expedition and the suffering of the land.

"Go home. From now on, develop your own homeland and build a new civilization on this land. I hope that the promise I made can still be fulfilled on your continent: that everyone can have enough to eat, have access to education, and get eight consecutive Sundays after working only six days." Xue Dinglu smiled and handed them a sample of "Dragon Blood Potatoes".

This is a potato variety that he and the old Demon King improved together. It has an extremely high growth rate, extremely high yield, and relatively comprehensive nutrition, while also being undemanding of any environment.

The downside is that it doesn't taste good.

However, for this continent in dire need of rebuilding, the unpalatable food is not a drawback; the priority is to quickly restore civilization and grow food to satisfy hunger.

The seven men accepted the potatoes from Xue Dinglu. As they were leaving, they all turned around, knelt down in the direction of Xue Dinglu, and kowtowed repeatedly.

Their newly recovered bodies kept crashing against the muddy ground. They didn't know how to express their gratitude, so they used this simplest way.

Xue Dinglu left, only saying one last thing: "That's enough. From now on, stand up. I grant you all the power to not have to kneel before anyone."

This statement resonated throughout the world.

But the people of the Demon Realm all knelt down towards the sky, their foreheads kissing the earth. Even though they had the right not to kneel, they still chose to make contact with the ground.

So Xue's Law actually dislikes this kind of place. He came here to liberate people, but he was made to look like a newly arrived feudal slave owner, or one of those dog-like gods in Greece.

Whatever, whatever.

……

After resolving the issues in the Demon Realm, Xue Luding led them back to the Human Realm.

To avoid causing a disturbance among the crowd, Xue Lude was teleported directly to the Earl's underground library.

He really didn't want to face the scene of everyone kneeling before him. He had already tasted enough; he should take the food away quickly.

Suddenly, Xue Dinglu frowned.

Because an unusual portal has descended upon this planet, Xue's Law is now essentially acting as a proxy God, at least on this planet, he is an omniscient and omnipotent being.

He simply blocked out a lot of information; otherwise, it would have overwhelmed his brain in an instant, turning him into a completely desireless and inhuman "true God"...

Therefore, others who have stolen power will not keep their global perception active all the time, since the brain of a living being is still too much for it to handle the power of the world.

But how did he happen to sense the teleportation?
A figure emerged from the portal—bald, burly… but…

"5332?" Xue Daolu inexplicably sensed the aura of 5332 on this bald, muscular man, and then, observing from a god-like perspective, discovered that he was indeed a member of the interstellar column.

Upon further investigation, Xue's Law discovered an anomaly: the bald, muscular man's body was filled with magical wires and circuit boards.

In other words, this bald, muscular man is actually a magical mech!
Wait, how come you've changed to a new mecha again after just a few days? And this mecha looks exactly like a human, except for its somewhat expressionless face, it doesn't look mechanical at all.

At the same time, 5332 seemed to frown.

When it first came into this world, it felt like it was being targeted, so it immediately prepared to self-destruct.

This machine and its program are both just copies; the machine was designed to be lost here.

The portal opened in front of him, and 5332 activated its backup hidden energy source and self-destructed right there, while also trying its best to send the information back.

"Hey, are you now a planetary surveyor capable of going on missions?" Xue Dinglu walked straight out of the door.

“Brother, you…” 5332 crashed the moment it saw Xue Law; the CPU in its brain was already smoking.

“I arrived a few days earlier than you, and I have already seized power over this world and become the only god,” Xue Dinglu said calmly.

5332: "?"

Dude, my radio port shouldn't be broken, right?

Soon, the two began exchanging information. After reading what Xue Law had done, 5332 fell silent.

It also confirmed that the person who once sent the Zerg to the Dreadnought Empire was most likely the Ninth Apostle.

It actually volunteered to come and investigate after discovering that the Ninth Apostle's homeworld was very close to the Dreadnought Empire.

"But since you're already here, come help me clean up." Xue Dinglu patted 5332's shoulder with a grin, revealing a meaningful smile.

Although he was chatting with 5332, Xue Law felt like he had forgotten someone.

Who did I forget? Oh well, since I can't remember, it probably wasn't anyone important.

Meanwhile, far away on Judgment Island, the Mad Viscount thought: "..."

I haven't gotten on the bus yet! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!

He gazed at the small island covered in volcanic ash and the boundless ocean, silently looking toward the mainland.

There's a sad story; he doesn't have a portal.

For the people of this world, teleportation is considered one of the most advanced forms of magic, a forbidden technique and spell that requires the combined efforts of dozens of court mystics to unleash.

He was able to teleport using the weasel's magic.

Now, the weasel sits eternally on the golden toilet, while Xue Law has completely forgotten that there was such a person as him on Judgment Island.

Looking out at the distant sea, and at this desolate island that rose up because of a volcano.

There aren't even many trees here!
"No, no, I must save myself..." the Mad Viscount said, but all his techniques were focused on gene and biological research, and he knew nothing about how to build a large ship.

He painstakingly searched the entire Isle of Judgment before finally gathering enough wood to build a raft. After painstakingly crafting a raft and oars, he pushed the raft out to sea and desperately rowed the oars toward the human world.

Wait for me, I will definitely come back. This time I will conduct more in-depth research and exploration to unravel the secrets of the world!
