Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Listening to the conversation between Zhong Chenmu and Qingchen, Fan Ting finally couldn't help but join in. The three of them seemed to have forgotten the existence of time.

As the conversation progressed, the topic shifted to a new direction.

"Xiao Zhong, when are you going to find a girlfriend?" Fan Ting teased.

"Sister Fan, is this the time to talk about this?"

Hydron Chen was puzzled: "What is a girlfriend?"

"..."

"Hahahaha, are you really going to go 'As long as the Huns are not destroyed, how can I care about my family?'" Fan Ting continued, "How about this, after we completely defeat the Turtle Tribe this time, I'll take charge and help you choose a girlfriend from the entire universe!"

"..."

At this moment, Qingchen suddenly said, "Qiangran told me that the clan leader's meeting was over and asked us to contact him immediately."

Zhong Chenmu felt like he had found a lifeline and asked, "We? Including Sister Fan and me?"

"Yes."

"great!"

He could finally escape this topic. It wasn't that he didn't want to find a girlfriend, but since the "Singularity Moment" until now, he hadn't had much free time. The only time he had free time was when he was trapped on Taibai Star in his virtual form, but how could he find a girlfriend in his virtual form?

In order to take care of Zhong Chenmu and Fan Ting, when Qing Ran invited the two of them and Qing Chen into the realm where Qing Yi was, everyone appeared in virtual embodied form.

For this reason alone, Zhong Chenmu had a favorable impression of Qiong Yi. He had met Qiong Yi twice before, and Qiong Yi knew that he preferred to communicate in a physical form, even if that physical form was virtual.

Communicating in a way that the other person is more comfortable with is itself a way of conveying goodwill, and will most likely receive the same response.

As if reading Zhong Chenmu's thoughts, Qi Yi said, "Thank you for rescuing Qi Chen. Please understand the extremely conservative measures I took earlier."

Zhong Chenmu pursed his lips: "You're welcome, Patriarch."

Ever since his last conversation with Zhong Chenmu revealed that the cosmic rogues' primary target was the Overseers, Hydrogen Memory had taken this matter very seriously. Initially, he hadn't counted on Zhong Chenmu and his group's help, hoping to trade time for space and, through cooperation with traditionally friendly tribes like the Helium Clan, drive the cosmic rogues away once again. Unexpectedly, the ability Zhong Chenmu had previously demonstrated proved valuable once again.

Therefore, he thought that it was the right thing to do to include the people of Nameless City, whom he had never looked at seriously and whom he had previously recreated and restored to physical form, into the united front.

Standing next to the immortal-looking Qian Yi were a gentle silver-haired man and a powerful light-blue-haired man, neither of whom he had seen before.

Hydrogen Yixian pointed at the light blue-haired man and said, "This is a guest from the Helium Tribe, the chief defense officer of the Helium Tribe, Hei Yi. You can compare him to our Hydrogen Ao."

"We've met before." He Yi smiled at Zhong Chenmu.

Zhong Chenmu then realized that this person was the mysterious man he met at the elemental node in the deep valley of Taibai Star. He thought he was a turtle tribe member and tried to trick him with a warning, but he didn't expect that he was actually a senior manager of another tribe!

Qian Yi didn't ask when the two had met. With his authority, he would know with just a quick check.

Then, he pointed at the silver-haired man and introduced him: "This is Qing Ran, who supports me in managing affairs with foreign races."

Qing Ran also nodded: "Nice to meet you two."

After Zhong Chenmu and Fan Ting quickly introduced themselves, Hydrogen Memory got straight to the point.

"There are six of us here today, and we're going to discuss a matter of immense importance. This matter not only affects our Hydrogen Clan and the Nameless City within its territory, but also the distant Helium Clan, and it may even spread even further..."

Hydrogen Memory gave a quick introduction to the background.

Just as Zhong Chenmu had speculated earlier, it was indeed about the Turtle Clan. However, the situation seemed to be more serious than he had expected.

Hydrogen Memory looked at Hei Yi and said, "Please ask our Hei Clan guest to tell us about the situation there. I already knew it a while ago, but I think it's necessary to let the others know about it as well, especially Hydrogen Chen, who is our 'Overseer'."

Hei Yi's voice was very deep. Of course, Zhong Chenmu knew that this was just his imagination based on his identity, and this imagination was fed back into his ears and brain in an extremely concrete way.

"'Overseer', I've heard of your great name for a long time. Last time, we were able to successfully drive out the space rogues thanks to your team from the Hydrogen Clan..."

Hongchen smiled slightly: "Master Heyi, thank you for your praise. From what our clan leader said, the situation this time is different from last time?"

Hei Yi nodded: "Yes. Hei Jia, the patriarch of our Helium Clan, and I personally experienced the invasion of the cosmic rogues last time. Unlike you, we do not have the role of "supervisor" like you. In our system, the patriarch and I, as well as several other core personnel, have higher and more comprehensive authority. In other words, if we do not make mistakes, it will be difficult for outsiders to invade. However, if mistakes are made, we lack a mechanism similar to "supervisor" to detect problems in time. By the time we discover them, it may be too late to save the situation. Therefore, in the last alliance, our Helium Clan adopted the strategy of "fortifying the city and clearing the countryside". After a period of time, We completely closed the borders of our tribes, preventing even the Hydrogen Clan from communicating with us, let alone entering. This confined the cosmic rogues to your territory. On your side, the Hydrogen Memory Clan leader, leveraging your "monitors," used statistical methods to gradually erode the rogues' area of ​​activity, ultimately forcing them out. Forced out by you and unable to enter our territory, they fled to other tribes. However, we had already notified every tribe we could contact, and each one adopted our closed-door policy. As a result, they were ultimately driven to the far, far corners of the universe.

After listening to Helium E's comprehensive introduction, several members of the Hydrogen Clan were somewhat indifferent, but Zhong Chenmu and Fan Ting were really excited.

They had only heard this information in bits and pieces before, so how could they possibly be as excited as hearing the entire story all at once? Moreover, this was being told personally by He Yi, the Hei tribe's head of defense, who had witnessed it all.

Especially Zhong Chenmu. The last time he had a private conversation with Hydrogen Memory and mentioned how to rescue Hydrogen Chen, Hydrogen Memory had briefly introduced how they defeated the cosmic rogue last time, but the information was not as comprehensive as Helium Yi's this time.

Now he fully understood the current situation and began to think quickly.

Hydrogen Memory looked at Hydrogen Chen and said, "Now you understand, don't you? Last time, you Overseers played a decisive role. So, this time, you bore the brunt of the attack and became the main target of the Space Rogues. I had to adopt a conservative strategy before, and I hope you don't blame me. However, thanks to these two people from Wuming City who came to the rescue and saved you. Moreover, according to my observation, they are no longer in the Overseer team."

Fan Ting had been listening carefully, but when she heard this, she quickly waved her hand: "No, I'm just a bystander. It's all Xiao Zhong's ability."

Zhong Chenmu smiled and said, "Sister Fan, without you cooperating with me in setting up the 'beacon tower mechanism', the Turtle Clan wouldn't have fallen into our trap so easily."

After that, he excitedly asked Hydrogen Memory, "Master Clan Leader, you just said that the Turtle Clan, or what you call 'cosmic hooligans', no longer exist in the Supervisor team? But I only have the ability to reset myself and Sister Fan. Are there only two of them in the Supervisor team?"

Hydrogen Memory replied, "Our essence is virtual, unlike your physical form. They need to infect you one by one, but with us, it's spread piece by piece. You can think of it this way: when Hydrogen Chen was possessed, it meant that a large number of Supervisors, including her, were possessed. Of course, it can't be all of them, because we are still constrained by the system."

"I understand. So, it seems that I just reset and cleared the turtle clan that possessed me and Sister Fan, but in fact, I cleared all the turtle clan that once possessed Hongchen..."

"That's it. So, this can be considered as a small progress we have made amidst the constant passivity."

Heli Yi then said, "That's true, but we can't let our guard down. This time, the cosmic rogues have clearly learned their lesson from last time. Besides attacking the Overseers first, they've also infiltrated our Heli Clan... In fact, this is the main reason I came here to report to Chief Hydrogen Memory."

Qi Yi and Qi Ran already knew about this and remained expressionless, but the other three were shocked.

Hydrant Chen's shock was palpable. "The Helium Clan won't be easily defeated. I didn't expect them to be so powerful this time."

Zhong Chenmu muttered to himself, "Last time, they were defeated by the Supervisors and the Helium Clan's sturdy defenses. This time, they're specifically targeting those two. The Turtle Clan is truly formidable when facing a virtual civilization..."

As early as during the "Reunification" game and when he first negotiated terms with Hydrogen Memory, he realized that the power of the Turtle Clan depends largely on the host, and the physical forms possessed by the people of Wuming City have become shackles on the Turtle Clan's abilities.

He increasingly felt that, despite being outmatched by the Hydrogen Clan, Helium Clan, and other cosmic races in almost every aspect, Wuming City held a unique advantage over the Turtle Clan. This would undoubtedly be a crucial bargaining chip in future negotiations with these cosmic races on how to achieve equal cooperation.

Helix B continued, "A fortress is most easily breached from the inside. The reason our Helium Clan was so easily penetrated by the cosmic rogues this time is because they exploited the relationship between the Hydrogen Clan and the Helium Clan."

At this point, he looked at Hydrogen Memory, as if asking, "Should I continue?"
