My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Xia Zuo knew that doing so was doomed to failure, and that the August family would ascend into space and leave the planet as usual.

But he insisted on doing so so that after he left, the people of this planet would still have someone to rely on.

The turret mage's disguise, as well as some disguises suitable for appearing before the members of the temple, will all be kept by Xia Zuo as a force to protect this planet.

If Xia Zuo manages to escape the planet and fly out of the Saguma Universe Empire's territory, these surviving agents will perish with the planet, protecting it until their deaths.

If Xia Zuo cannot escape the Saguma Universe Empire, then this planet will become his only foothold for the time being, and the identity he leaves on the planet will become an important force that Xia Zuo can control in the future.

...

(The story is nearing completion; the battle sequence has been skipped.)

The Temple army and the Church of the Otherworld fought for six days on the atoll.

The roundabout has become a hell for living beings; lush green plants have been burned to charcoal, and the embers, crackling with sparks, have taken away the last vestiges of life.

Thick black smoke billowed from the charred forest, lingering in the low-lying valley, forming a vast expanse of smog that was difficult to dissipate.

Those who witnessed the smoke event at the shamanic tribe's altar plaza know that a perpetual dimensional rift appeared there—a dimensional passage leading to the [Land of Eternal Rest]. It was blasted open by a torrent of hundreds of millions of plant and animal spirits, and only Kamashiberlein can accelerate the closure of the dimensional rift.

The dimensional rift caused by the last smoke event covered an area of ​​approximately 800 to 1000 square meters, and it took Kamasiberlein 5 hours to close it.

What about this time?

How much time would it take for a plane rift capable of covering the entire circum-island basin to be transformed by Kamashiberion?

If Kamashiberline cannot close this unprecedented dimensional rift in a short time, will the "tiny creatures" on this planet be able to refrain from attacking the [Land of the Long Sleep]?

The choice is in Xia Zuo's hands.

The timelines from [Future.360] to [Future.399] are very special.

Taking advantage of the dimensional rift that appeared on the atoll, "Shazo" repeatedly tried to attack Kamashiberline, searching for a practical and effective way to severely damage it.

Kamashiberian is a spiritual being.

From the perspectives of alchemy, magic, and monster science, it can be considered a very powerful soul-like creature capable of manipulating the souls of living beings.

Theoretically, potions and spells that are effective against soul-type creatures should also be effective against Kamashiberion.

The Temple Alchemy's Anti-Ghost Oil and Defensive Ghost Barrier, the Witcher's Ghost Oil, Moondust Bomb, and Yard's Sign, the Church of the Otherworld's Shadow Manipulation, and many other shadow magics—any side on this planet possesses a way to defeat Kamashiberion.

If everyone can unite and produce enough potent oil to cover the entire Tree of Bonds, and then collectively cast spells to suppress spirits, it is indeed possible to defeat Kamashiberion and complete the mission of this planet.

The future is constantly changing; even a slight shift in the situation can drastically alter the future trajectory.

The Temple, the Golden Vitex Clan, and Kamashiberion have formed an alliance and made a sacred covenant.

The Church of the Otherworldly Demons has not joined the Holy Covenant and harbors a desire to attack Kamashiberion.

In the [Future.402] timeline, the Church of the Otherworldly Demons launched an attack on the [Land of the Sleeping Demons], throwing all the newly hatched Otherworldly Demons into the battle.

In this timeline, the August family observed for a moment, and after confirming that the Church of the Otherworld could not defeat Kamashiberlein, they took advantage of the opportunity when Kamashiberlein was exposed to nature and the Church of the Otherworld's army was tied down by Kamashiberlein, dispelled the Creation Smoke, and launched the alchemical spaceship to leave the planet.

Instead of immediately pursuing the August family, the Star Demons rushed towards the dimensional portal on the ring island, vying to attack Kamashiberlein.

This future timeline offers the least pressure, the fewest pursuers, and the highest safety for anyone wanting to escape the planet.

By using Kamashiberion to hold back the Star Demons and the Church of the Demons' army, and with the added disguise of the Creation Smoke, Shazo's plan to escape the planet will be much smoother.

To reach this future timeline, the Church of the Otherworld must be guided to attack the Land of the Sleeping Demons.

As I said before, the choice is in Xia Zuo's hands. Whatever choice he makes will determine his future.

If you want to fulfill the mission of this planet, and gamble on Vasaksat's attitude towards the victors, then instigate a battle between the Temple, the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, and Kamashiberion, seize the spoils of war at the end of the battle, and preemptively absorb Kamashiberion's template with the [Life-Generating Spores].

As long as Vasaksat doesn't kill Shazo outright, then relying on the template of Kamashiberian, the [Breeding Sporangium], and the spacetime laws he has mastered, he might become an existence loyal to Vasaksat, or more accurately, a biological material sampler in the Path of Saguma.

If they want to leave this planet more safely, they can drag the temple into the battle between the Church of the Otherworld and Kamashiberion, and then have "Shazo" personally dispel the Creation Smoke, leaving the planet while all three parties are still in shock. At this time, the pursuing Otherworldly enemies will be at their fewest, and "Shazo" can easily deal with them himself, allowing them to fly safely beyond the territory of the Saguma Universe Empire.

"What should we do?"

Xia Zuo wandered around the alchemy room in the secret base again and again.

His mind raced as he racked his brains comparing the pros and cons of various future timelines.

Upon careful consideration, his success rate in escaping the planet is already quite high. The real problem he faces now is:

Each time it travels through the stars for a period of time, its vision goes black, forcibly interrupting its projection of the future.

Is this "complete darkness" phenomenon caused by the [Spacetime Phase Simulator] reaching its limit in predicting the future, or by triggering some kind of cosmic device hidden around the planet?

What puzzled Xia Zuo even more was that when he used "deducing what it means to go completely dark" as the main idea for predicting the future, he couldn't get any answers when he tried to predict the future in the [Space-Time Phase Simulator], and not even a new future timeline appeared.

This extremely bizarre situation left Xia Zuo, who habitually used the [Space-Time Phase Simulator] to find answers, completely bewildered.

Chapter 69 Sending Gift Packages

If the problem of "being completely blind" cannot be solved, all attempts to find a way to leave the planet will be in vain.

This gave rise to a new option, a new line of thought that emerged after Xia Zuo's island was destroyed by the Church of the Otherworldly Demons:

Xia Zuo will not flee the planet for the time being. After Kamashiberian, the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, and the August family leave the planet, Xia Zuo will leave and activate the Creation Smoke to block the Otherworldly Demons from the Starry Sky.

During their time on the planet, Xia Zuo needs to closely monitor the movements of Kamashiberlein and the others after they leave the planet, to see if they have also encountered the situation of "sudden darkness".

This approach could potentially solve the "blind spot" problem, allowing "Xia Zuo" to successfully escape the galaxy.

The only potential problem is that Vasaksat will arrive on the planet in three months, and Shazo may be captured by Vasaksat before he can escape the star system after finding a way to solve the "blind spot" problem.

When Xia Zuo went to the [Space-Time Phase Simulator] to deduce the future with the idea of ​​"whether this new approach can be used to successfully escape the galaxy", no new future timeline appeared.

It seems that as long as the element of "being completely in the dark" is added to the content that Xia Zuo wants to deduce, it will be impossible for him to deduce any result.

"What exactly is this 'blackout' situation?" Xia Zuo sat in the chair, grabbing his hair with both hands, completely baffled as to why his vision had gone black.

This phenomenon feels like your broadband connection has expired and you've been suddenly disconnected by your ISP, or like you're playing a game and suddenly get disconnected.

This reminds me of what the cheat system said many years ago: "It is digitizing and modifying the host..."

Xia Zuo felt as if he had been inserted into a program for testing, and the sudden blackout was like the program terminating...

Xia Zuo asked Jinshouzhi about "the darkness in his vision," but Jinshouzhi didn't give him any answer. This made Xia Zuo fidget in his chair for a few minutes in a slightly frantic manner before he calmed down and regained his rational thinking.

Since the "blind spot" is unavoidable, let's put it aside for now.

Xia Zuo reached out and pressed the button on the desk. The metal door to the alchemy room slowly opened, and several fully armed special forces teams walked in and stood in a line in front of Xia Zuo.

"Team 1, you will lead 700 high-level Blood Guardians to the northwest corner of the Western Continent and bring back the heads of the Temple army there. Store them in miniature culture tanks and try to avoid casualties."

Xia Zuo handed a bulging alchemy bag to the captain of Team 1, who thumped his chest in salute, shouted "I obey my master's will," and then left the alchemy room.

"Team 2, your target is the Temple army in the southwest corner, which will also be accompanied by 700 high-level Blood Guardians."

Xia Zuo issued several orders in succession, and several special operations teams left with the alchemy bags.

These teams are responsible for dealing with the Temple army. They will use heavy weapons and numerous high-ranking Blood Element Guardians who have mastered hybrid magic to cleanse the Temple camp at Xia Zuo's command.

The arcane mages lurking in the western continent, Granzabech who was already entangled with Rexor, and the many non-combat alchemists from the eastern continent were also handed over to Xia Zuo's special forces and their aliases.

As the mastermind behind a hidden force, Xia Zuo's job is to guide his subordinates in the right direction, not to personally participate in the battle.

After all, the death of an army due to the incompetence of a general is far more serious than a local battle defeat.

Xia Zuo sat in the chair and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and made up his mind.

There is a way for Shazo to find out the reason for the "sudden darkness" more quickly, and at the same time leave the planet before Vasaksat arrives!

Why not give Kamashiberian, the August family, and the Church of the Otherworld a boost, and send them to the edge of the galaxy faster and more quickly?

Xia Zuo rummaged through the drawer of his desk and took out four notebooks filled with writing.

After obtaining information on the spirit ship, alchemy ship, and flesh ship, Xia Zuo found ways to improve these three types of ships using the [Space-Time Phase Simulator].

As long as they are handed over to the corresponding forces, the cruising speed of the three forces can be greatly increased after being subjected to suspicion and experimentation.

Xia Zuo has completely changed his mind.

He wanted Kamashiberline and others to scout ahead for him, while he would remain under the protection of the Creation Smoke to oversee the overall situation.

Having made up his mind, Xia Zuo immediately assembled several other special operations teams and had his flesh and blood clones help him deliver these invaluable spaceship improvement plans.

Xia Zuo changed his plans for the future, and did not let the previously collected Creation Smoke go to waste.

After the August family dispelled the Creation Smoke, there was a vacuum period of about 5 hours between the smoke's disappearance and the August family's departure. During this period, the areas in the sky not covered by the Creation Smoke were invaded by the Starry Sky Demons.

The Creation Smoke that Xia Zuo has collected during this period is enough to cover the area of ​​Starry Night City, and it would not be a problem to shroud the entire city in Creation Smoke.

Now, Xia Zuo needs to consider who is qualified to enter the shelter he has created.

Over the past few days, the main members of the pureblood mage faction have arrived in the Starry Night Kingdom to help Rexor search for the whereabouts of the Otherworldly Demons. The remaining members of the pureblood mage faction have also been secretly protected by the Blood Magic clones under Xia Zuo's arrangement.

The moment the special forces attack the temple camp, the pure-blood mage faction members stranded on the Eastern Continent will be brought back by the blood magic clones.

Rexor and the other Demon Hunters will not be left in the Western Continent by Shazo.

According to Shazo's plan, Rexor will be guided by the Faceless Man in the consciousness container he retrieves from Inster Heguman, and will prepare for the war after the smoke clears in the Eastern Continent.

Alchemists from the Eastern Continent who possess knowledge of alchemy and magic will not be left in the Western Continent by Xia Zuo; they will return to the Eastern Continent along with the heads of the Temple army.

In this way, it seems that Xia Zuosuo's only remaining targets for screening are ordinary people...

Xia Zuo rummaged through the drawer and took out a large stack of documents.

After deciding to sever ties with the Eastern Continent, he requested information about the Starry Night Kingdom from Beatrice in order to better predict its future.

An efficient human society cannot do without shrewd individuals to act as lubricants for social conflicts, nor can it do without opportunists to discover blind spots in the social system and promote the development of social institutions.

However, when a human society has a prophetic being to guide its way forward, and does not need to pay too much attention to social inequality and the gap between rich and poor caused by institutional flaws, then all those outside the family who rely on insight into human nature, information advantages, and loopholes in the rules to seize their own interests and achieve upward social mobility will be excluded from Xia Zuo's protection.

Hardworking, honest, kind, and benevolent ordinary people will become producers in the ideal country. After receiving training, they will use production equipment tailored for ordinary people to provide basic necessities for the ideal country.

Those producers who meet the intellectual requirements will receive targeted training at Starry Night Academy. After passing the training exam, they will become advanced producers at different levels, using more complex production equipment to produce, process, and improve social resources produced by lower-level producers.

The higher the producer's level, the higher the stage of the industrial chain they will be exposed to.

A producer's salary is no longer determined by the profit distribution system of his industry and stage of the industrial chain, but by the length of his training at the academy and his exam results.

A positive attitude towards life and work, and a humble spirit of learning, will become the ladder to the top in an ideal world.

A country boy with an ordinary background can continue studying as long as he is willing to study in a school and can achieve passing grades in every exam, until he fails an exam.

Those who have left the academy can apply for an entrance exam every three years. If they pass the exam, they can continue their studies and move on to a higher level.
