In the end of the ice age, I hoarded tens of billions of supplies

The conspiracy between the Shattered Faction and the Holy See was finally brought to an end.

The turmoil on the moon has come to an end. With the flame rekindled, at the very least, those beings on the Silver Moon Throne can continue to maintain peace for another one or two hundred years.

Zhang Yi said to himself, "Just stay alive first."

One or two hundred years is nothing to ancient humans who were long-lived, but it is long enough for six generations whose lifespan is only a hundred years.

We'll deal with the future later. This world is just a huge makeshift operation; we can patch things up as we go.

Who knows, one day, those sleeping Druckers might suddenly die on their own.

Thinking optimistically makes life easier.

Zhang Yi was somewhat disappointed that Xuan Yue Fei Ming had already sacrificed everything, so after killing her, there were no fragments of ether left behind.

Meanwhile, the Black Moon Priests of the Dark Moon Empire...

The First Black Moon Priest exhaled a long breath, his gaze fixed on Zhang Yi, his eyes filled with both gratitude and complex emotions.

She spoke first, her tone solemn and steady: "Guest from Earth, you have succeeded. If it weren't for your intervention, Xuan Yue Fei Ming would have completely taken control of Samael's power, and the entire Dark Moon Empire would have been plunged into irreversible destruction."

The other Black Moon priests also stepped forward, their expressions solemn, and said in unison, "Thank you, people of Earth. You not only saved us, but also strengthened Samael's seal."

Zhang Yi's gaze was calm. The Sword of Judgment in his hand transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into another dimension along with Ling's human form. The power within Zhang Yi gradually returned to calm.

He nodded slowly and smiled, "This is what I should do. If Samael breaks free, not only your Dark Moon Empire, but the entire moon, and even the entire material world, will suffer a great calamity! Rather than helping you, it's more about helping ourselves."

The First Black Moon Priest's eyes softened, and then he said earnestly, "You're right. But we will reward you handsomely for your sacrifices."

Upon hearing about the reward, Zhang Yi's eyes lit up instantly.

The civilization of the Moon People is extremely advanced, at least surpassing that of Earth's humans, the Cangyuan Clan, and the Wuluan Empire.

After all, they were on the moon, and the risks they had faced for billions of years were nothing more than the confrontation between the two great empires and the need to be constantly on guard against the resurgence of Samael.

There's no need to be overly wary of the existence of other civilizations, allowing their civilizations to continue, and naturally, they also acquire extremely advanced technology and resources.

Zhang Yi quickly replied, "We are indeed facing many crises right now, so we won't stand on ceremony with you. What can you possibly offer us?"

"What we lack most is voluntariness, such as ether fragments."

Zhang Yi rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

The five Black Moon Priests looked at each other, and Zhang Yi could clearly see the speechless expression in their eyes.

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, they wouldn't give this to him so easily.

The First Black Moon Priest explained, "Fragments of ether are indeed extremely rare, and we cannot give them to you."

"But what you need more now is knowledge!"

The First Black Moon Priest spoke in a tone that sounded like a kindergarten teacher.

In her eyes, the backward civilization of the Earthlings was indeed like a three-year-old baby.

"Knowledge?"

Zhang Yi's expression was somewhat strange.

The First Black Moon Priest said to Zhang Yi and the others, "Let's not stay here any longer. Samael's aura is unsettling. Let's go back and talk again!"

Zhang Yi nodded, and the group followed them back to the Dark Moon Empire.

Upon entering the grand hall, everyone sat down, and only then did King Arthur and the others finally feel at ease.

The mission has ended, but many people have died in the process.

The entire Norse pantheon, except for Hela, was almost completely wiped out. Once they return to Earth, the entire world order will be rewritten.

But at that moment, they had no time to think about that matter.

The precious knowledge spoken of by the Black Moon Priests was what they cared about most.

The First Black Moon Priestess sat in the chief's chair, gazing at the crowd below, and began, "In your view, the way to become stronger is to obtain more ether fragments?"

These words startled everyone below.

Professor Leonardo da Vinci frowned instantly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

King Arthur and Saladin, among others, wore expressions of shock.

Besides tapping into their own supernatural potential, the only other way for superhumans to become stronger is to devour the essence of other superhumans.

As for developing potential, there's not much anyone can teach them; it's mostly something they figure out on their own.

Strictly speaking, for five years after the apocalypse, the Earthlings were exploring the field of supernatural abilities with their eyes closed.

The First Black Moon Priest smiled faintly, his eyes showing a mixture of concern for the infant and a hint of shock.

"That's understandable. You haven't been developing your supernatural abilities for very long, and there's been a historical gap. As a result, you haven't yet developed a complete training program for supernatural abilities."

She spread her hands and explained, "Let me give you a simple and easy-to-understand example."

"The food that people eat is made by planting seeds in the ground and waiting for them to mature before eating them."

"But you try to fill your stomachs by eating the grains of the land."

She sighed deeply, "Absorbing ether fragments to increase strength is far too extravagant!"

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly; just as he had expected.

Zhang Yi had gradually come to understand this principle, but he still listened carefully.

Because he only had the idea, but did not yet have a mature system for enhancing his power.

Others were also listening intently.

The prospect of being personally taught by a more advanced civilization how to become stronger filled them with fervent excitement, like martial arts protagonists who had just received a secret martial arts manual.

This is a revolutionary moment!

The conversation with the Black Moon Priests may change the entire landscape of Earth!

The Black Moon Priests exchanged glances, and finally the Third Black Moon Priest spoke, his voice low and resonant:

"The entire surface universe is essentially composed of power. Whether it is stars, mountains and rivers, or the flesh and soul of living beings, they are all different forms of power. So-called evolution and cultivation are just appearances. The true essence is devouring and transformation."

These words resonated like a thunderclap in everyone's hearts.

Zhang Yi frowned slightly: "Devour and transform?"

The First Black Moon Priest nodded and slowly explained, "That's right. Our Black Moon lineage has guarded the seal of Samael for thousands of years, and our knowledge far surpasses that of you Earthlings."
