Chapter 218 What do they want?
Lin Xiaohe set the tone for the next phase of the mission: actively prepare for war, not be afraid of fighting, but also be prepared for the worst.

If the scale of the divine war exceeds their imagination and they cannot cope, then they will flee with the Nine Provinces Star System. If they cannot take it with them, then they will flee with the Ark.

Xinghe Party has begun a busy period of development and construction.

Ordinary survivors were settled on Kyushu Star, where they were responsible for tasks such as planetary planting, energy storage, and nutrient solution production.

Thanks to mechanical automation, their tasks are not too heavy.

The Stardust Humans and the Megalodons had a much harder time. They had to eliminate the Zerg on the Sixth Ring Planet one by one, and then process the Zerg corpses into food suitable for storage.

Doing this work on Kyushu Star would take too much time for travel. So Lin Xiaohe decided to move the ark over.

The Ark has such a large space that it can hold the compressed insect flesh.

Furthermore, the Zerg's hard carapace should not be wasted; it can be used to modify the Ark by utilizing locally available materials.

After the Ark's first voyage, the group summarized many experiences and optimization plans.

Lin Xiaohe: "The Ark has strong defensive capabilities, but lacks offensive means and has a single power source, relying solely on the Megasaur. These are the two problems we need to overcome at this stage."

Melina easily evolved into a Stardust Human, and thus, she came along to assist Lin Xiaohe in coordinating related matters.

Melina said matter-of-factly, "Our Kyushu Star is extremely weak in mechanical and weapons manufacturing. Even if we develop our own weapons, we can't compare to the Federation and the Empire. So I suggest that we use insect-based weapons on the Ark."

Melina looked at Lin Xiaohe, who immediately understood her meaning: "I'll give it a try."

As for the power issue, it's difficult to solve. It's not just an engine problem; it involves many other aspects as well.

For example, power acquisition, power storage, energy conversion... This is a systemic problem. Unless the Starwhale Party can design a revolutionary power system, they will still have to rely on the Mega Whale.

Fortunately, the Sonic Whale and the Stardust Adult had just signed a partnership contract and their relationship was still in its honeymoon phase, so they were trustworthy.

After the meeting, Lin Xiaohe flew to Lengxing.

The Zerg have been completely wiped out, and the entire planet is emitting a deep blue glow.

A small, giant tomb stands in the crater, with a long pipe extending from its base into the volcano to draw energy from the remaining energy deep within the core of the cold planet.

The giant tomb seemed to breathe, each breath releasing a sticky, transparent viscous liquid that had covered the entire volcano.

Xiao Shi led the octopuses to a neighboring planet to catch bugs, then stunned the bugs they brought back and threw them in front of a giant tomb.

These insects are all subordinates of King Zhou of the Great Tomb.

When they slowly awoke, their eyes were blank. According to the Zerg hierarchy, they should unconditionally obey the giant tomb's commands.

But the giant tomb in front of them was so small, and it exuded a strange aura.

Little Black flapped its wings vigorously, and the giant tomb, using the Zerg's unique communication method, commanded these Zerg to actively enter the giant tomb for optimization.

Those poor insects would sometimes go in willingly, and sometimes refuse to move forward, swaying left and right like headless flies.

Lin Xiaohe went to Xiao Hei's side without disturbing its operation.

Little Black's transparent wings almost created afterimages, but the marks left by the Giant Tomb King on these insectoids were extremely powerful, beyond what Little Black could currently contend with.

"Ugh, this is so annoying." Little Black stopped flapping its wings and looked dejected. "Little Ten, bring them in."

This job is simple.

Xiao Shi knocked the insects unconscious again and stuffed his tentacles into the giant tomb.

Since Lin Xiaohe last visited the giant tomb, the tomb has changed again.

Below the circular platform, there is an additional pool.

The pool was empty; I don't know what it's for.

"Little Black!" Dou Dou jumped out and landed on Little Black's carapace.

The leaves of the bean gently brushed against the black tendrils, and the branches and tendrils intertwined tightly.

Of all the plants, DouDou and XiaoHei have the best relationship.

Xinbao nestled on Lin Xiaohe's head. Since they became one, Xinbao rarely came out and became increasingly silent.

Lin Xiaohe scratched its only small leaf, and her little finger was instantly entangled by the leaf.

Sweetie was terrified of bugs and didn't dare come out at all. The fleshy tubes on the inner wall of the giant tomb dragged the unconscious bugs into the pool.

After a few moments, the crickets in the pool began to wriggle, and a corrosive green slime seeped out from the bottom of the pool.

The insects in the pool twitched helplessly, eventually turning into a puddle of pus.

"Yue!" DouDou gagged while tightly wrapping her arms around XiaoHei's tentacles.

Lin Xiaohe withdrew her wandering gaze, not wanting to look at the scene below the round platform: "Xiao Hei, can you design a new bug? A bug that can be installed on the Ark and has long-range attack capabilities."

Xiao Hei's ritual involved rummaging through the giant tomb's gene bank, eventually assembling into a bug similar to a geoduck: "It can spray out mucus to petrify enemies, but the mucus comes from itself, and once it runs out, it will die."

On the Ark, there was naturally no way to provide energy to the elephant, so it was essentially a disposable consumable.

Xiao Hei said embarrassedly, "I only have the initial gene pool, and I don't have as many gene fragments as Zhou."

King Zhou devoured so many planets and humans that he obtained a vast amount of genetic fragments, which could be combined in an endless manner.

DouDou raised her hand: "Me! I have unlimited bullets. XiaoHei, you can take my genes."

Little Black shook its head like a rattle drum: "No, you are my good friend, I can't eat you."

"It's okay. I can give you the beans."

After obtaining Lin Xiaohe's consent, Dou Dou threw a small basket of beans into the pool.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Hei shook his head in disappointment: "It won't work."

This is really strange.

The Zerg eat everything and can collect genetic fragments from food for their own use.

But Xiao Hei was unable to absorb Dou Dou's genes.

This is really...

Lin Xiaohe compromised: "Without affecting the expansion of scale, you can make a few weevil insects."

"Ok."

After dealing with this matter, Lin Xiaohe returned to the Ark, looked at the Party flag, and pondered for nearly half an hour before finally deciding to contact the Federation.

She flipped through her contacts, and the only people she could reach were Chu Huaizhi and the commander of the Sixth Star Ring Military Region.

She sent messages to the two men separately about the war of the gods and the Great Annihilation, warning them of the sudden arrival of the gods.

Both expressed their gratitude, and Chu Huaizhi was also very concerned about her, asking if she had been injured while dealing with the Dead Hand System.
Lin Xiaohe didn't reply, but instead started browsing the StarNet.

On the StarNet, there was a scene of jubilation.

After the gods descended, the Zerg suffered a series of defeats. The Federation has reclaimed the Second Star Ring, and the Empire has launched a counter-offensive.

Everything is developing in a positive direction.

The federal government's official website touts the power of the gods and swiftly passed legislation to establish the "Yanedam Religion" and make it the state religion of the federation.

The number of federal citizens who believe in Yanidam is increasing, and news about Yanidam is everywhere on the StarNet.

Lin Xiaohe, the Xinghe Party's news was quickly pushed down, and she was almost forgotten.

In the Federation's propaganda, Yanidam's three faces represent a man, a woman, and a child, and he is referred to as an omnipotent god.

It seemed that no one recognized that they were actually a family of three, the Li Qing family, former federal citizens.

The people had an outlet for their emotions and regarded Yanidam as their only savior.

Lin Xiaohe lowered her eyes, knowing without a doubt that the situation in the Empire was similar.

During this period, seven gods emerged one after another, scattered across various star regions.

Their fame was not as illustrious as those two gods, but they were still worshipped by the local star system.

Lin Xiaohe firmly believed that everything had already been secretly priced.

What do these so-called gods want to gain from humanity?
 Oh no, this herniated disc is quite serious. I've been in bed for several days and it's still not better.
