Don't go to the moon, there are gods on the far side of the moon.

[The ignition source should not be forced to light.]

When those words appeared, He Jing's expression was even more frozen than the flames in the cold storage.

He clearly never imagined that the spark would refuse.

In his logic, the Zhurong Terrace is a weapon, a bargaining chip, and a deterrent against the old deep-space system by humankind. Weapons should not have intentions, bargaining chips should not say no, and fire should not refuse to burn.

But it refused.

Xu Wangshu stared at the extinguishing point in the moon map and suddenly remembered what Lin Jibai had said.

If it can run, don't dismantle it.

If you can avoid burning, then don't light it.

The problem with many mythological systems is not that they are not powerful enough, but that everyone only wants to use them as tools.

The old Heavenly Court treated people as objects of archiving.

Tianheng regards Buzhou Mountain as an upgrade project.

He Jing used the Zhurong Terrace as a deterrent weapon.

There is no difference in essence.

The process involves first determining the intended use, and then forcing it to conform.

Lu Chengong was still kneeling on the ground, his face deathly pale. His arrow hadn't damaged the fire, but it had almost shattered the last bit of stability within the fragment of Hou Yi.

The fragment was stuck to his arm, flickering in and out of focus.

Xu Wangshu walked over.

"Can you still move?"

Lu Chengong looked up and grinned.

"You can curse."

"That means they can still live."

Lin Xiaoman whispered in the remote channel, "Brother Lu, don't be stubborn."

Lu Chengong originally wanted to reply, "Little Man has learned to care about people," but when he saw her weak face, he swallowed the words back.

"Don't worry," he said, "I haven't gotten a new bow yet."

Taking advantage of their distraction, He Jing suddenly pressed the wrist controller.

Suddenly, the red and black sheet on the other side of the cold storage unlocked, and some of the sheet detached from the server cabinet, flying towards the ceiling like charred snowflakes.

Qin Lan's voice came immediately.

"Stop them! They're uploading fragments of the Fireseed coordinates!"

The action team opened fire.

The bullet shattered a few thin pieces, but it also caused more fiery echoes to scatter.

Xu Wangshu immediately shouted, "Don't break it! Use the storage box!"

But what He Jing wanted was chaos.

He took the opportunity to retreat deeper into the cold storage.

Wen Zhaolin suddenly rushed out, grabbed his protective suit collar, and slammed him against the server rack.

He Jing sneered: "Mr. Wen, now you're pretending to be a guardian of humanity?"

Wen Zhaolin was not angry.

He simply looked at He Jing as if he were looking at a past version of himself before he was awakened by the Moonlit Stele Forest.

"I used to think that as long as the goal was big enough, the sacrifice could be justified."

He Jing struggled.

Wen Zhaolin held him down tightly.

"Later I saw the archive marker."

"You didn't see it, so you still dare to say such things."

He Jing's eyes hardened, and a thin needle popped out from the wrist controller, piercing directly into Wen Zhaolin's arm.

Wen Zhaolin's face turned pale.

The cold storage system immediately recognized his blood sample.

[Tianheng founder access granted.]

[Torrent upload authorization complete.]

Xu Wangshu's expression changed drastically.

"Wen Zhaolin, disconnect!"

Wen Zhaolin also realized it.

He Jing is not trying to escape.

He wanted to use Wen Zhaolin's live entity privileges to reopen the fire seed upload that had just been blocked.

"Do you think I don't know you'll go back on your word?" He Jing leaned closer to him and whispered, "Mr. Wen, your incriminating evidence is the key, and your repentance is also the key."

That's a really harsh statement.

For the first time, Wen Zhaolin's face showed genuine anger.

Not for myself.

It was because he finally understood that Tianheng's system could even be used to exploit repentance.

Xu Wangshu quickly flipped through the moon map, looking for a way to disconnect the permissions.

No.

Once the founder's permissions for Tianheng are recognized by the cold storage, they will remain in effect until the blood sample expires.

unless……

She looked at Wen Zhaolin.

Wen Zhaolin understood as well.

He looked down at his arm.

Lin Xiaoman suddenly shouted in the channel, "No!"

She probably overheard their thoughts.

Wen Zhaolin looked up, his voice very low.

"I will not die."

Lu Chengong gritted his teeth and stood up.

"You'd better not die, or who will stand trial?"

Wen Zhaolin smiled.

very ugly.

"rest assured."

He grabbed a cryogenic preservation plate from the side and pressed it directly onto his wound.

The extreme cold instantly froze the skin and flesh, forcibly stopping the flow of blood.

Wen Zhaolin shuddered in pain, but did not let go.

The cold storage system emitted a piercing alarm.

[Permissions interrupted.]

Upload failed.

Xu Wangshu took the opportunity to embed the moon map into the fire seed coordinate fragments and add a source seal to each thin piece.

Qin Lan simultaneously gave the order, and the action team switched to sealing guns, freezing the red and black thin pieces one by one into transparent boxes.

He Jing was forced to the ground.

He was still smiling.

"You think that's enough?"

Xu Wangshu looked at him.

He Jing raised his head, his eyes filled with the calm that followed his madness.

"The Fire Seed Coordinates are not unique to Tianheng."

"I can see the North Heavenly Gate."

On the main screen, the black screen of the patrolling figure suddenly lit up.

The Mars orbit coordinates have been re-marked.

Below that, a new judgment appears.

[A hidden second defense system has been detected in the human realm.]

[Zhurong Terrace is under review.]

Xu Wangshu's heart sank.

They prevented He Jing from forcibly igniting the fire.

However, this did not prevent the North Heavenly Gate from noticing the Zhurong Terrace.

Worse still, after Zhurongtai was placed under investigation, a tiny red dot suddenly lit up deep in Mars' orbit.

Like a fire that has been dormant for a long time, it has opened its eyes.
