The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

"This world will not replenish your magic at all. The magic you brought in will be used up little by little." Auntie became a little more serious. After hanging up the clothes, she spun the pseudo-curse blood in her hand, turning it into a blood-stained Greek spear.

"What is your relationship with the teacher?" After recognizing Xue Luding's clothes, Fafnir immediately looked at the "old woman" opposite her with wariness, and began to act like a cat guarding its food, with its round head, flat ears, and puffed-out fur.

Auntie rubbed her hair again, feeling a headache coming on. She finally understood who the child had come to see, but unfortunately, her own son had just fled to another world to play.

My son seems to be very popular with girls, both in this world and in parallel worlds...

She seemed to recall some memories from the past. When the boy was still in elementary school, one day his parents brought their little girl, who was crying her eyes out, to their house. That's when she learned that Xue Luding had bullied the little girl and made her cry in elementary school.

The moment Xue Daolu returned home, just as she was about to give him a good scolding, the little girl suddenly pointed at Xue Daolu and said, "Dad is him! I asked him to be my husband, but he didn't want to, and he made me the laughingstock of the whole class, boohoo..."

She still remembers her son's constipated expression and the parents' look of utter disbelief.

The little girl started crying as soon as she got home. She didn't say anything, she just kept crying. Her family thought their daughter had been bullied badly, which is why they came to her door. After learning the truth, they immediately apologized and even wanted to invite the ten-year-old lawyer to dinner.

Thinking of this, Auntie even smiled inappropriately.

The two knights behind Fafnir also seemed to be silently placing their hands on their sword hilts, ready for battle.

Just then, the barrier at the door was triggered, and Xue Dinglu's voice came out of nowhere.

"Fafna, by the time you hear this, I will have already left. Your teacher is off to save the world. If you have any questions, just tell your aunt. By the way, magic is forbidden in my world. Use up your magic little by little, and remember not to overuse it."

After the sound disappeared, Fafnir was completely stunned. Looking at her aunt across from her, she immediately went from being all puffed up and panting to having her tail wagging and her ears perked up. She stepped forward in a very obsequious manner and said, "Oh, it's Aunt! Aunt, are you tired? Let me help you with the work... Please sit down and rest for a while..."

……

In the vast white snowfield, Xue Dinglu couldn't help but wrap his clothes tighter.

The snow here is strange; it's not pure white, but rather grayish. Xue Dinglu stepped into the snow and was surprised to find that this was actually permafrost. He had never been to Siberia, but he estimated that the permafrost here was just as bad as that there.

"No, there's a big problem with this world. How can humans live in a world like this?" The old demon emperor suddenly said something that left Xue Dalu completely baffled.

"What's wrong?" Xue asked.

"I learned about 'nuclear radiation' from your world, and I've done some research on it," the old Demon Emperor said, pointing to the gray snow and frozen ground outside. "But in this world, the radiation level in this snow is three times the limit that a normal person can tolerate!"

Xue Law: “!!!”

Is the snow even radioactive? Is this a world in a nuclear winter?

Just as Xue Luding was thinking this, someone suddenly patted him on the back. When Xue Luding turned around, a woman who was 1.9 meters tall smiled and pointed to the Starship Squadron badge on her chest, saying, "Fifth Squad, Olivia, Mythical level."

Xue Luding looked at her; in the dead of winter, she was only wearing a vest and shorts, her bronze skin glistening under the gray snow.

The leather straps of the corset were deeply cinched into the waist, revealing the entire waistline and the faint outline of the abdominal muscles, making the exposed tanned waist and abdomen appear as firm as wrought iron.

Most importantly, her ears were pointed and forked, like a butterfly with outstretched wings. This was the first time Xue Dinglu had ever seen a race with such ears.

"Haha, we meet again. You caused quite a commotion at the edge of the Milky Way last time." The woman seemed very familiar with him and immediately tried to put her arm around Xue Luding's neck, but Xue Luding immediately dodged away.

"Um... were you here last time, senior?" Xue asked awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed by the senior's enthusiasm.

"Yes, I was one of the first to arrive. Don't be shy. By the way, after I pulled you out of that King fragment, I was the one who gave you CPR."

This senior seemed to have suddenly said something that immediately embarrassed Xue.

Did I receive CPR before?

That's quite possible. After all, he was almost one with the Evil Eye back then, and he was pulled out by the people of their interstellar squadron. However, he had no memory of this period. When he woke up, the fairy tale world had already arrived in the habitable zone of the star.

Then he was surrounded by many fairytale creatures, but he didn't remember anything in between.

"Haha, just kidding, nothing like that, just teasing you." The senior's voice came immediately.

Xue Law: "..."

No wonder no one else in the Starfleet wanted to team up with you, your personality... it's unbelievable...

Xue Dinglu immediately rolled his dead fish eyes, pointed to the snow-white earth, and said, "Let's get down to business. Senior, you must have gathered a lot of information in this world? Tell me about it?"

This senior's language is the same as the hero uncle's native language. These languages ​​are all included in the Great Sage's module, so they can communicate without any problems when they meet.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business." The woman reached her hand into the snow, then pulled, and a basement door opened, leading to a long underground corridor.

"This is my temporary base in this world. Come on, follow me into the secret room." She pointed to the dark underground and said to Xue Luding.

Xue Law: "..."

No, how can your words be ambiguous? Are you implying something?

Xue Dinglu was speechless. He didn't mince words and went straight in. The hatch closed, a barrier was set up on the door, and with the thick snow covering it, it was a secret room that no one could find.

Even when he and the old Demon Emperor arrived here, they couldn't sense this underground stronghold.

As the lights came on, the secret room began to unfold before Xue Dinglu. Messages filled with text covered the walls of the room, along with countless markings and strange items that had been collected.

A simple wooden plank was being used as a bed, along with some water and food—it seemed to be all that this elder had collected in the world.

This place is like a killer's safe house. Except for the lack of weapons and ammunition covering the entire wall, if there were a wall full of guns and knives, Xue Dinglu could even imagine a female assassin setting up the entire hideout and secretly ambushing others.

They're just waiting for some big shot driving a convertible to pass by so they can sneakily take a few shots at the convertible.

"Senior, what's going on with the radiation outside?" Xue Dinglu sat on a simple wooden board and pointed upwards.

"Oh, you figured it out so quickly?" The woman named Olivia popped a snack into her mouth, then pointed to the wall and said, "Take a look, this is part of the history of this world that I recreated."

Xue Lude looked at the wall and, together with the Old Demon Emperor, looked at the information about this world.

About three thousand years ago, a giant plant with roots spreading across all the continents appeared in this world. The locals called it the "World Tree," but Xue and she both knew what it was.

The Sacred Tree! That is, the Qijera that appeared on Earth.

Then came nuclear war. The pre-civilization of this world primarily used "nuclear magic," which they created by compressing hydrogen through magic, and waged a protracted war against the World Tree.

But they failed. The previous civilization was wiped out. After absorbing most of the energy and soul, the sacred tree left this world with its fruit, leaving only a few people struggling to survive on the wasteland of nuclear radiation and nuclear winter.

Because of the annihilation-like resistance of the previous civilization, nuclear magic has been used to bomb virtually every piece of land on this planet.

"More than three thousand years have passed, and this world is still filled with radiation. The surviving people have given birth to a new civilization and developed hundreds of cities and dozens of countries. However, as you can see, the environment of this world is full of radiation and harsh winters." Senior Olivia pointed outside.

"How could they survive in such an environment?" Xue Luding was shocked. With a large number of souls and energy absorbed by the divine tree, coupled with the nuclear bombing of the previous civilization, how could dozens of countries have developed in such a miserable environment?

“Hey, don’t underestimate the resilience of life. There are probably around 6 million people on this planet. In fact, to adapt to the radiation, everyone is no longer learning how to use magic, but how to use radiation.” Olivia said, resting her chin on her hands. “They call the radiation ‘fel energy,’ and those who use radiation in combat are called fel sorcerers.”

Xue Law: "..."

Wow, there really are races that can achieve superhuman abilities entirely through radiation?

“By the way, that’s the general situation. But in my deeper investigation, I discovered that there’s another, high and mighty race above the heavens. They are the true rulers of this world, and they might even be related to the ones who spread the divine tree three thousand years ago.” Olivia said, dropping another large chunk of information.

"They call themselves 'Dragons,' while the true ruler of this world, the King of Dragons, calls himself 'Tyrannosaurus God.'"

"Tyrannosaurus God?" Xue Luding was stunned for a moment when he heard this name.

Chapter 218 Sustainability: Draining the Pond to Harvest

When Xue heard this information, he immediately doubted whether he had misheard. After confirming it several times, he found that the name his senior had mentioned was indeed "Tyrannosaurus God".

At this moment, Xue Luding came to the translation module and patted it hard. He began to wonder if the translation module had fallen seriously ill again. He even wondered if he had come to some kind of mecha king world.

After all, the principle of the translation module is to combine the most suitable language based on the languages ​​of other races, so there may always be a slight deviation during the translation, but the translation module quickly provides the word roots.

Based on the root word provided by our predecessors, the root word for the leader of the dragon race is "brutal dragon god," so it is reasonable for the translation module to translate it as "tyrannical dragon god."

Xue Law: "..."

In other words, they are now facing a world where trees were planted by the apostles, and after the trees were planted, the entire world was ruled by an alien race called the "Dragon Clan".

Xue Lude looked at the root word for "dragon race" again and found that this dragon race was exactly the one he remembered, and that there was no mistranslation.

This involves a problem with the original translation module. When discussing with the Old Demon Emperor, the Old Demon Emperor's original identity was translated as "Demon King," which is actually ambiguous.

The Old Demon Emperor doesn't refer to the "Demon King" from the movie "Hero vs. Demon King." He means "King of the Demon Race," and for the Demon Race, "Mage Race" would actually be a more accurate translation.

This, in turn, created many obstacles for Xue's Law in communicating with the Old Demon Emperor from the very beginning.

However, this translation was actually more accurate. Xue closed his eyes and roughly sketched out the social structure of the entire world in his mind.

The world's natives fought against the sacred tree and were defeated. The survivors evolved the ability to adapt to radiation in order to survive in the post-apocalyptic world.

However, not long after the apostles left, the dragons descended upon the world and forcibly took control of it, manipulating the entire world from behind the scenes, much like a high and mighty slave owner ruling over his slaves.

It is known that the dragons and the apostles are connected, and that the dragons are even a kindred spirit of one of the apostles… He realized…

"Sustainability is like draining the pond to catch all the fish!" Xue's Law put forward this phrase.

Both the old demon emperor who was absorbing the history of this other world and Olivia, who had already told everyone about the current information of the world, looked at Schrödinger, who seemed to be deep in thought.

Xue Luding didn't hesitate to state his analysis: "I have been in contact with the Divine Tree. This plant will not let any survivors go. It will greedily cover all living beings in the world as much as possible, and with this soul and energy, it will condense the 'Divine Tree Fruit' that can greatly benefit people above the Apostle level."

"So the fact that there are still quite a few survivors in this world, which is already at a disadvantage, is itself a mystery..." Xue Dinglu said his speculation, and the content of which made the senior's eyes light up.

"You've encountered the sacred tree before, kid?" she asked.

"Yes, in my world, as a planet guardian, I cleaned up the disaster caused by the Sacred Tree once," Xue Dinglu said frankly, revealing information that could be disclosed.

"Goodness, I've run into an expert. I'm really lucky to have found you this time."

This carefree senior suddenly slapped his plump, bronze thigh under his shorts, as if he was very happy to have found a treasure, and almost came up to hug Xue Dinglu's neck again.

However, after Xue Dinglu dodged the hugs and kisses with a blank expression, the senior was not discouraged. Instead, he smiled and patted Xue Dinglu on the shoulder.

In fact, Xue also felt relieved, because if he were to investigate the information provided by his senior, it would probably take him several days to complete it. Then, thinking about the follow-up plan, he started to get a headache again.

Now, this senior member of the interstellar column has laid out the ancient history of this world, as well as the current social structure, on the table, which has been a great help to him.

So he also began to share some information about the Divine Tree, including its mechanism of using "evil spirits" to infect souls all over the world, and the information about how it bears fruit through souls and absorbed energy. The most crucial point is that after the Divine Tree descends on the planet, its roots will spread throughout the underground of the entire planet for a very long time.

This forms an extremely complex and vast network of underground roots. In this situation, unless the sacred tree retracts its roots, even the world's consciousness would find it difficult to clear away all the underground roots.

Therefore, based on the rule of the dragon race, Xue's Law put forward a bold hypothesis.

"The sacred trees on this planet have not completely disappeared; their roots continue to grow and spread underground. The dragons are more like the shepherds of that apostle, while the native creatures of this planet are the lambs..."

"Once the population and energy levels inside the planet recover, the roots of the sacred tree underground will slowly grow into a new 'World Tree,' thus repeating the history of 3000 years ago. The new sacred tree will leave the planet, leaving the survivors to continue waiting for the next harvest..."

Xue closed his eyes and uttered his cruel prediction.

Upon hearing this terrifying conclusion, both the senior Olivia and the old Demon Emperor were stunned. They began to mentally review the possibility of this speculation and found that, based on the existing information, the possibility was extremely high.

Among them, the dragon race and the Tyrannosaurus God were merely "shepherd dogs" raised by the apostles. Their role was simply to restore the number of races in the world to a sufficient level before carrying out the next round of harvesting.

It was like a grand and bloody colonial harvest, where the local inhabitants were completely turned into meat leeks that were harvested one crop after another in the fields. They seemed powerless to resist, like livestock being raised and waiting to be slaughtered, just waiting for the despair of the entire race being harvested to strike again.

Perhaps each apostle has many such fields of prey, they are raising countless planets and are constantly searching for new planets, thus beginning this long and bloody process of racial breeding and harvesting.

One can imagine that the local natives were like the Native Americans who were domesticated centuries ago, whose only value on the land was to be shot and killed for the amusement of the rich, while their scalps and skulls were merely fine materials and decorations...

Xue Lude thought of his home planet. If his mother hadn't been constantly moving and destroying the divine tree, their world would probably have been harvested time and time again. However, Xue Lude thought about it and realized that the divine tree in their world seemed to have descended during the Late Cretaceous period...

Good heavens, it seems that Shenmu originally intended to harvest dinosaurs?

Through his mother's backstage information, Xue Lude learned that at that time, dinosaurs on Earth began to be cultivated by his mother, and they would gradually evolve into "dragons," possessing their own civilization and heritage, and the entire Earth would become a planet of dragons.

However, the arrival of the original life forms of the Mother and the Divine Tree interrupted the progress of the Dragon Planet. The dinosaurs went extinct in the natural disaster caused by the meteorite, and only some small free-range chickens survived to the present day.

Meanwhile, the ancestors of mammals, the loose-knitted mouse, rose to prominence and immediately occupied the ecological niche after the extinction of the dinosaurs. One branch of this species began to rapidly develop intelligence, thus converging and evolving into a form similar to the "king," which is the human being we know today.

Just as Xue Lude was having a brainstorming session, the senior seemed to have figured out the logic as well. At this moment, she no longer had the smiling look she had before; her face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water, and she slammed her hand on the table.

"Damn it, it might really be true. This dog-like council, don't let us catch them red-handed!" Olivia slammed her hand on the table beneath her, which immediately began to wobble precariously.

If she hadn't pulled back when she slammed the table down, it would probably have been reduced to dust, leaving a huge crater on the ground.

Xue Luding and the old Demon Emperor also looked grim. When the old Demon Emperor learned of this news, his face turned so dark that only his eyes and teeth were visible. This was the first time he had learned of these secrets of the universe, which made this peace-loving Demon Emperor very angry.

Xue Lude realized that the Star Squadron seemed to know something about the Black Mist Council, but he was not sure if he could reveal that he had joined the Black Mist Council. He decided to wait until the operation was over before selectively revealing some information to his senior.

The rest of the time was mostly spent making more assumptions and additions based on the possibilities proposed by the original Schrödinger's Law, which only made the senior's expression more unpleasant.

If their guesses are true, the cruelty involved is far more terrifying than the so-called Triangle Trade and Spicy Crispy Soap Factory.

They harvest a large portion of their population each time, and then harvest again after the population has multiplied. What do they take life for? Like leeks that can grow in the ground anytime?

“We’ll split up, kid. I’ll infiltrate the dragon clan and investigate from the inside. If things are as we suspect, I’ll call you over and we’ll wipe out all these dragons together,” Olivia immediately stated her plan.

"While you investigate other races on the periphery and provide support as needed, we will exchange intelligence remotely every other day via message board. Within the same planet, the message board has a latency of one second." The senior immediately made arrangements for the next step of the plan.

Xue Luding was actually a little worried about this senior's strength. Although she was also among the top of the mythical level and seemed to be close to the level of the quasi-5th rank, he was really afraid that something might happen to the senior, since the brave uncle was about the same level and had also failed in the Holy Magic Continent.

Seemingly noticing Xue Luding's worried expression, the senior finally smiled again: "Don't worry, I'm a veteran who has completed three planetary surveys and assisted in saving three worlds. Look." She immediately lifted her vest, and Xue Luding then discovered that she was wearing a semi-transparent bra underneath.

Inside the vest hung three gold medals, representing the honor of the Starfleet for saving three other civilizations.
