Chapter 27 Lianfeng: Old Deng, you're getting old. [Seeking Ferns!]
The special meeting that Dukao prepared for Fengxi finally came to a successful conclusion. Miss's explanation, which seemed to be telepathic, revealed all of Fengxi's thoughts.
In the command center of the Juxia, Dukao looked at the empty conference room, leaned back in his chair, his expression somber, and his eyes flickering.
"It's rare to see the general looking so serious in a thousand years." Lianfeng, wearing a coat and carrying a control panel, walked in and found a spot to start working.
"..." Dukao silently closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, then opened his cold eyes and said softly, "You're right. We've hesitated for too long. Years of wandering and silence have worn down our sharpness, turning us into indecisive old people who look back and forth before doing things."
"It's rare for a general to admit to getting old. I'm only a little over ten thousand years old, still in the prime of my youth," Lianfeng replied without looking up. (It turns out she's over ten thousand years old.)
Dukao: "."
“However, the general is right about one thing: the long years have worn away your good qualities, but the bad ones are still there. There’s an old saying in China, but it’s not really old for us.” Lianfeng shook her head and smiled, but her expression became much more serious.
"To be old and not die is to be a thief. General, it is not a bad thing for you to admit that you are old. The real trouble is the stubborn old man who does not admit that he is old."
"Sharpness can cover up one's many shortcomings and flaws, but if one loses all sharpness and does not correct one's flaws, one will become an old thief who never dies." Lianfeng's words were rather harsh, but Dukao was a fossil that had been around for tens of thousands of years. What hadn't he heard?
Well, I've never heard anyone say they're old like that before.
It's so heartbreaking
“I have carefully considered your proposal. Between rebuilding Denor and integrating into Earth, we have hesitated for a long time because of the shadow of the past war. Now that the children have grown up, it is time to make a decision.” When Dukao said this, this middle-aged man actually showed a trace of vicissitudes.
Dukao knew that once that edge was lost, it couldn't be regained in a short time. So he wasn't forcing it. All he needed to do now was acknowledge his age and delegate authority to his subordinates! (If the old man didn't relinquish power, Chuchu would continue to arrange for him to get shot.)
For a civilization like theirs that studies genetic technology, whether a person is old is not determined by their age, but by their state of mind. When your state of mind grows old, then you are old, until you encounter something that makes you feel young again, and then you will become young once more.
"General, you can take advantage of your free time to fall in love and rediscover your youth?" Lianfeng chuckled teasingly upon hearing Dukao's change in attitude.
"..." Dukao's eye twitched slightly. Was he the kind of person who was not serious?
However, he couldn't refute it, because being in love is indeed a shortcut to youth. This is also why a certain angelic civilization considers 'love' more important than life itself. Because the passage of time can destroy everything, while 'love' can serve as an anchor, allowing angels to always know their place in the world.
Furthermore, the gods in the universe with their extremely abstract thoughts are basically influenced by their long lifespans and the vastness of time. They need to find something to do or something to enjoy, otherwise they will go insane.
"It's not right for an old man like me to be frolicking in the back while the soldiers are charging into battle, isn't it?" Dukao rarely joked with Lianfeng.
"Back to the main topic." Dukao resumed his serious demeanor before Lianfeng could even laugh, which made Lianfeng involuntarily purse her lips slightly.
"Feng Xi's appearance has given us a chance to make amends. As for rebuilding Deno, that's just wishful thinking. The children are all Earthlings now. So the only option left for us is to integrate into Earth."
"The information that Teacher Rui sent us indicates that the vanguard fleet of the Taotie civilization has already set off for the solar system. Those people have begun to covet the power of the Milky Way." Dukao naturally understood the purpose of the Taotie civilization's journey across the vast galaxy towards Earth: to please Death God Karl? That's part of it, but not entirely accurate.
Those gods had only one goal: to put some pressure on the Galactic Force.
In other words, the impending war and chaos facing the entire Earth were only known to Dukao and his ilk, who were essentially grinding experience for the Galactic Force. This explains their previous hesitation. Even if they rebuilt Denor, it would ultimately be destroyed by the Galactic Force!
But after living on Earth for a while, Dukao also discovered Rose's special feelings for the planet. But how old is Rose? Dukao's attitude towards Earth has only changed in the last ten or twenty years.
Then, Dukao began to struggle again, because he realized that a dozen years wasn't enough time for Earth to develop the ability to resist. So, apart from the god-making project, the Deno orphans simply abandoned everything else. Since everything was going to be destroyed anyway, ants and grasshoppers were not much different under the dimensional reduction attack of the giant's slipper. Then, Fengxi appeared.
Dukao realized that this person, who was not under the surveillance of Deno III but belonged to the same Shenhe super gene as Qilin and was the god of creation in ancient Greece, was their last chance for salvation.
Fengxi has already shown them his most powerful ability: monetizing technology!
If Deno dares to provide the technology, then Fengxi dares to demonstrate its value to them in the shortest possible time!
The reconciliation between Fengxi and Miss made Dukao suddenly realize that, unlike them, these Deno scoundrels, Fengxi was an 'Earthling' like Qiangwei. If Fengxi later realized that the so-called alien invasion was just a game played by the gods, and that the Deno were also participants, then their situation would inevitably be extremely dangerous!
(This also explains why Old Deng wasn't too saddened by Rose's death, while the Demon killed both Old Deng and Lianfeng, but only Old Deng was affected.)
"The Galactic Force is our last hope, Denor."
"But Feng Xi is Earth's last hope." After saying this, Dukao got up and left, leaving only Lianfeng with a slight smile on his lips.
'Yuqin, what a pleasant surprise! The most troublesome old Deng has actually changed his mind,' Lianfeng thought to herself.
Dukao, the 'war maniac' and 'interstellar butcher,' was the least empathetic of these old Denosians, and he had lost his edge. Therefore, Dukao's fate was only twofold: either a vibrant young man would rise to power, or he would die a glorious death in battle.
There are two possible outcomes, either way, it's all respectable.
"Hoo, make more friends and fewer enemies. It's so convenient to communicate with smart people." In the temporary mecha workshop of the Super God Academy, Feng Xi exited the virtual meeting and rubbed his tired eyes.
"There's still so much to do: production lines, alien exoskeleton analysis... Sigh, are the alien forces here to steal our genetic technology? Or are they here to destroy us, and it's none of our business? Giving it away so easily isn't in my nature. I'll do as much as I can, just hoping the losses will be minimal."
"Brother Feng, what do you think is up in the sky?"
"Stars and the sea."
Under the brilliant starry night, a group of children lay on patched-up straw mats, gazing at the vast starry sky in a daze. The sea breeze swept away the heat of the city and also stirred the hearts of the children.
"You're lying! How could the ocean be in the sky!"
"Yes, that's a sea of stars."
"That's great! The teacher said there's a sea beyond the mountains, but I've never seen it."
"Come on, I'll take you to see the sea. It's not far, just across the city."
Don't tell me I'm timid. I'm afraid of the dark.
"Then go during the day."
"But...aren't there stars during the day?"
"Then get in good shape and live a long life. I'll take you to see the sea and the starry sea."
Thank you to [Book Friend 2127] for the 1500 reward! Love you!!
