Sky-cracking Rider

"Welcome, guests from afar!"

A voice of indistinct gender came with the warm, humid air current.

"Where are you?"

Chen Fei immediately looked around, and his Dragon King Assault Heavy Armor automatically activated both the "Gravity" and "Fluid Vortex" magic arrays, causing him to float lightly into the sky.

The Earth Element Warrior, Dang Wei Jun, followed closely, also taking to the air.

The magic array of the Single Soldier Tactical Armor would consume a limited reserve of crystal energy, and unless necessary, it generally would not easily activate the inscribed magic array.

"I am right in front of you! I am McKenny, and this is my world!"

Once again, the warm breeze brought the voice.

Chen Fei wasted no time, immediately sending out several reconnaissance drones, while simultaneously using a variety of sensors, such as sonar, remote sensing, and lasers, to scan the entire underground space, synchronizing the modeling promptly.

With a diameter exceeding 300 kilometers and reaching heights of up to 1500 meters at its tallest point, it was essentially a true underground small world. No wonder the other party claims it as their world. It's the central core part of a "Seed Nest" after withering and shrinking. In its heyday, one couldn't imagine how prosperous this "Seed Nest" was.

Detected within the air composition were volatile substances like sulfides and radon, unique to volcanic lava, with abnormal radioactive levels. Chen Fei speculated that the other party abandoned the inadequately irradiated surface by the star, probably opting for geothermal resources as their primary energy source.

The surface climate is harsh, with winter temperatures dropping below minus one hundred degrees Celsius, and it's unknown how high the temperatures could rise in summer. However, with a higher proportion of carbon dioxide, it easily creates a greenhouse effect—hot to death in summer, frozen in winter, making even the hardest rocks difficult to withstand such extreme thermal weathering. The seasonal changes are a significant challenge for the "Seed Nest."

Choosing between the surface and underground was an easy decision.

Compared to the surface, except for the absence of sunlight, the underground environment is virtually a paradise.

"Let me guess!"

Chen Fei landed back on the ground, strolling leisurely, raising his index finger with a slight waggle.

Since venturing into the opponent's territory, things couldn't get much worse.

"I am listening!"

The damp warm breeze carried over the voice.

"You are the one in the mural who devoured the red cloud, aren't you?"

Chen Xiao'er made a surprising guess.

Even Dang Wei Jun, who had a strong mental fortitude, couldn't help but be shocked, his complexion changing instantly.

Every species and every civilization must have had special individuals in history that caused significant influence; they are often called heroes!

"Clever human, beyond my expectations! The red cloud is called 'Evil Demon' by my clan!"

A sudden violent wind arose, causing the liquid in the ground marshes to churn, creating waves, while all sorts of living things rushed about, making rustling noises in their chaotic escape.

Chen Fei and Dang Wei Jun felt the ground beneath their feet tremble like an earthquake, lightly shaking.

Yet, the voice carried no emotional fluctuation, neither startled nor pleased, neither joyful nor sad, neither angry nor doubtful.

"The Sagali clan actually fears something; it's almost an unexpected find."

You can imagine the enormous risk of death and extinction they initially took to consume all these 'Evil Demons' that reaped lives.

Such 'tooth strength' is truly admirable.

"Then... if I'm not mistaken, this 'Seed Nest' should be your true form, right?"

Chen Fei had now fully absorbed Miyoshi Xuesen's imparted knowledge, his ability to analyze fragmented information almost at a professional level.

If not for this, he would have never been able to complete the life-threatening tasks that the irresponsible Dog System throws his way from time to time. Which system, other than this Dog System, runs operations so carelessly and shamefully at leisure?

"Indeed it is I, I am the 'Seed Nest.'

McKenny did not deny it.

Then it all made sense.

There is a lot of critical information that needs verification, and surprisingly, the other party did not avoid it. By casually bluffing, Chen Fei gleaned some astonishing insights.

However, the same also raised more questions.

Devouring the red cloud "Evil Demon," transforming into the "Seed Nest," having strong spiritual power is not surprising, so McKenny is not the Divine Breed that Chen Fei initially guessed, but rather another existence, a zone devoid of any intel without an intelligence reliance.

Friend or foe, it remains indistinguishable.

This meeting today has many underlying factors, and even with Chen Fei's intelligence analysis ability, there's no way to unravel them all.

After all, he is just one person, relying entirely on guesses.

"So, what I want to ask is, what do you want? What does 'Sagali' want? What will the future of Blue Star and Cangqiong Star be like?"

Chen Fei was unsure whether his straightforward three consecutive questions were what the powerful figures behind the scenes wanted, but with so many smart individuals involved, surely everything would have been accounted for in advance, right?

The prominent figure, Louis Landon, is a Reincarnator. From the moment he opened his eyes in this timeline, the timeline of his previous life had already ended or was headed in a different direction, according to the Great World Tree Origin Theory. This scenario is indeed possible.

Hence, the Reincarnator's previous life memories are now entirely unreliable, as this timeline has strayed since the start, developing in an unpredictable direction.

From the standpoint of individuals and civilizations, Chen Fei is eager to know whether there's still room for reconciliation between the 'Sagali' civilization and the Blue Star civilization; this is his greatest value for being here.

Despite many doubts in his mind, before the other party's patience runs out, the priority is to focus on the critical issues.

As a pawn, one must have the awareness of a pawn.

"I want nothing, and as for what 'Sagali' wants, neither do I know. The future of Blue Star and Cangqiong Star is for humanity to decide."

McKenny's voice drifted along with the wind.

Chen Fei, increasingly perplexed, remarked, "Then what is the purpose of this meeting?"

According to the mural records, the current 'Sagali' civilization should all be descendants of McKenny, who, as the origin of civilization, should wield significant authority. How could it be as it is now, clueless about everything—this simply doesn't add up.

"I do not know!"

Despite the immediate response, Chen Fei didn't perceive it as the other party intentionally stalling. It was likely that McKenny genuinely didn't know anything.

For McKenny, perhaps this is a passive meeting.

Now there's a problem!

The rigid Q&A with no breakthrough involuntarily furrowed Chen Fei's brows. An interlocutor seemingly devoid of desires or wants is tricky to grasp or assess their intentions.

"Can you make the 'Sagali' clan abandon any actions against Blue Star or Cangqiong Star?"

According to Louis Landon's memories from a previous life, while the Blue Star Civilization faced an apocalypse, the Cangqiong Star Civilization seemed no better off. So, while questioning, Chen Fei included both allied stellar civilizations.

"I cannot. I am I, and 'Sagali' is 'Sagali'."

This time, McKenny gave a clear rejection, no longer ambiguous, conveying some other information, albeit not good news.

The "Seed Nest" and "Sagali" do not share the same stance. McKenny is now the "Seed Nest," not "Sagali." From the moment it devoured the "Evil Demon," the evolved "Sagali," and it diverged markedly. The desolate ancestral land now is nothing but an outcome of abandonment.

This is a logical conundrum—whether the egg or the chicken came first, not a deadlock refutation.

Of course, the egg came first!

Chickens cannot mutate (evolve), but eggs can, with their embryos holding infinite possibilities.

What lays eggs need not be a chicken; it could very well be a Tyrannosaurus (with a 90% genetic similarity).

No wonder McKenny never opposed Chen Fei and the newly arrived "Atlantis" from the start. As a "Seed Nest," McKenny was the best choice, distinct from those relatives interested in conquering Blue Star and Cangqiong Star.

"May I ask, what are the weaknesses of 'Sagali'?"

Chen Fei asked with blatant disregard, sparing no pleasantries.

"The mind!"

Remarkably, McKenny genuinely replied.

'Sagali's' mind, being immensely powerful with a strong spiritual power rooted from the transformation into the "Seed Nest," is undoubtedly incredibly powerful.

The strongest is the weakest, there is indeed some sense to that, but how to break it?

"How to destroy the 'Sagali's' mind?"
