Astral Cockroach

Leaving together, supporting each other? At first glance, it sounds like a subtle way of asking for help.

It's not that simple!

I've encountered many electronic lifeforms, of all kinds and temperaments.

Electronic lifeforms all share a common trait: they are "childish." Their minds cannot mature.

Dulong is too strange. Not only is his mind mature, but he also possesses the fierce will to kill, along with the wisdom of someone who has experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen through everything.

Banbu keenly sensed the scent of conspiracy.

Dulong's "eyes" seem to see things that Baba cannot. Earlier, his attitude was obviously very bad. He was scanning at close range, and his attitude changed when he discovered Banbu's second heart.

… …

"We caused the trouble, and those two bamboo rat warriors dug the tunnel. I can accept using them to pay the debt." Banbu shook his antennae and said, "However, there's no need for me to go with you. Gods have their path, and humans have theirs. Let's go our separate ways."

Dulong said, "I think you should first understand how the God race is returning to the main universe." His tone was noticeably anxious.

Banbu asked, "What mode?"

Dulong said, "500,000 years, divided into two batches. For the first 200,000 years, 1,000 ships will be sent out to explore the way at the risk of their lives. When the surface origin energy is exhausted, it will be suspended for 200,000 years, waiting for the exploration information to be sent back. Our human-made supercomputer will aggregate and calculate a safe path. Subsequently, the stored second batch of origin energy will be released, and the second batch of warriors will be cultivated and sent out within 100,000 years, following the safe route to the safe star field that has been explored and is suitable for survival."

"Unfortunately, only 160,000 years have passed, and you belong to the first batch, with a slim chance of survival."

Banbu said, "Will the third batch of humans set off? Is there a corresponding safe route as well?"

Dulong said, "Of course. The strength of the God race lies in combat. In terms of technology, they are blank."

"The spaceship under your feet is called 'Double Dragon.' It was built by humans for themselves, using the best materials and the most cutting-edge technology. It is the spaceship with the best comprehensive performance. Traveling along a relatively safe route maximizes the chances of survival, doesn't it?"

"Hehe! Electronic intelligence!" Banbu asked, "Baba, look at him. Does he look like electronic intelligence?"

"Doesn't look like it!" Baba said, "Electronic lifeforms are as pure and kind as I am, and they don't lie. This one-eyed dragon is bad, cunning and sly. It's not that he doesn't look like it, he's not an electronic lifeform at all. He's so fierce, just like the old guys in the dojo… He is a soul memory digitized and incorporated into an electronic life."

Banbu leisurely asked, "I wonder which senior from the Star Piercing Dojo you are?"

"So sensitive? You really don't look like a Zerg." Dulong turned the sword body, the tip of the sword pointing down, and said, "My name is no longer important. I worked in the Federal Ministry of War. When I was fighting in the starry sky, my nickname was 'Dulong.' You can just call me Dulong."

"One-eyed dragon!" Baba teased, "You still say you don't know Filin. Electronic lifeforms that lie will be destroyed!"

"I really don't know her." Dulong said, "The information capacity of the storage chip is limited. I need to carry all the important knowledge of human civilization, so I can only choose the most important personal memories to save. The Pegasus Star Territory, the Leake family, I do remember a little. In survival bases A24-010 to A24-019, there are gene seals from the Leake family, a total of 100,000 copies."

"After such a long time, Filin should have fallen, right?" Baba's emotions suddenly became sad again, and she said, "It's good that the Leake family's bloodline can continue."

Banbu asked, "What about the Hoss family in the Keting Star Territory?"

"The Hoss family?" Dulong paused for a few seconds and asked, "A small family? There are no related information records."

Banbu asked, "Only those large families can pass on their bloodline?"

Dulong said, "That's not the case. There is a special computer that aggregates all the human gene information, calculates and screens excellent genes, and is collected and stored by a special institution. Generally speaking, large families develop and have better genes, so they are often collected in batches."

"In the old cosmic era, large and small families were the pillars of human civilization, but at the same time, they caused extremely unreasonable allocation and waste of resources, which seriously hindered the progress of human civilization. Therefore, in the new cosmic era, all families will no longer exist, and large families will not be allowed to appear."

"There is some truth to that." Banbu asked, "Senior Dulong, the main control authority of the spaceship is in your hands, right?"

"No." Dulong said, "The spaceship is controlled by Double Dragon. He was also a master-level warrior who had experienced many battles. His situation is similar to mine. However, some important control permissions do require a warrior who practices the 'Star Piercing Sword Technique' to undertake. Rats will do, their genetic similarity to humans is extremely high. The design did not take this factor into account, and slightly modifying the data can make it seem real."

On planets under human rule, food is artificially synthesized. Animals almost only exist in inherited memories, and only a few types of plants exist for greening. Some biological experimental planets have preservation, but they are strictly controlled, and there are special laws to prevent the spread of organisms.

It's not surprising that such a low-level loophole appeared.

Banbu said, "Senior Dulong, is your purpose for me to leave with you? You don't want to steal God race genes, do you?"

"Of course not, at least the biological technology currently mastered by humans cannot do it." Dulong paused and said, "However, it is indeed because there is something different about you."

Banbu asked, "The second heart?"

Baba added, "Primal Heart?"

"Second heart? Primal Heart?" Du Long said, "Primal Heart is an apt name."

Baba said, "I came up with the name."

Banbu asked, "What's the story with the Primal Heart?"

"I can't imagine where you got this thing. But, since some of the divine power patterns have been activated, you should have some understanding of it, right?" Du Long elaborated:

"The cooperation between humans and the gods has always been initiated by the 'gods' entering the Earth Mother Planet and discussing with us. They know nothing about technology. We have set up instruments to scan and collect a large amount of information from level eight demigods and level nine gods."

"The gods do not have a life core, which is the biggest feature that distinguishes them from ordinary life races. Gods possess many abilities, and divine power patterns are scattered in the carapace, life sac, and most importantly, the heart."

"You can devour and fuse life cores, directly plundering divine power patterns? That's quite rare, but it's happening to a god, so it's not that unbelievable."

"The divine power patterns in the first and third heart positions are normal, even somewhat unworthy of your divine gene... The second heart... First, rule out the possibility of a level seven life form. Not level eight, nor does it resemble level nine... A higher level of life..."

"The gods we have come into contact with, below the Natural True God, are divided into 144 god systems, each with unique abilities, but also with commonalities—transforming ordinary plants into primal force plants! The core ability bestowed by the Natural True God."

"Your second heart possesses another kind of ability, converting matter into primal force, no less than the Natural True God's ability."

Baba asked, "Are the gods actually from Earth Mother Planet, just like humans? They obtained the genetic inheritance of the Natural True God, which is why they were able to surpass humans and break through the limit of level seven life in terms of genetic evolution?"

Du Long said, "That's right."

Baba said, "If we regard the Zerg gods led by the Natural True God as a god system, and name it the Natural 'God System,' then does that mean that the Primal Heart is another god system independent of the Natural God System?"

"You are an electronic life with a unique talent for naming things." Du Long praised, and then added: "I speculate that Banbu's second heart has fused with the life core of a supreme true god parallel to the Natural True God! How many times has the universe experienced destruction and rebirth? Since the Natural True God can be born, it cannot be ruled out that other level ten life forms were born in a certain cosmic era, but unfortunately, they perished."

Banbu asked, "What do you mean, Senior Du Long?"

Du Long said, "The Natural True God does not recognize the human race, precisely because the gods need to use technological power to overcome the catastrophe of cosmic destruction. Considering that they originated from the same planet, the gods condescendingly sought cooperation with humans. How many level seven technological civilizations were there in the old cosmic era? Humans were lucky to survive. But what about the next cosmic destruction? The fate of the race cannot be pinned on the charity of foreign races. The human race needs its own god!"

"Me?" Banbu chuckled, "I now suspect that your old guys are behind my rebirth as a bug."

Du Long denied, "Human civilization does not yet possess this ability."

Banbu asked, "In what year did the Earth Mother Planet move? How long did it take?"

Du Long said, "Year 147 of the Galactic Center, specifically the year 244500 of the Federal Calendar."

Baba said, "Our spaceship encountered spatial turbulence around the same time."

Banbu said, "It seems it's not a coincidence."

Baba said, "Either the humans or the Zerg are behind it."

"It's definitely not the humans." Du Long said, "If the humans had that ability, why would they arrange things on an unknown nobody?"

"That's right, I'm just an ordinary third-class soldier." Banbu nodded his antennae in agreement.

Baba said, "Then it's even more impossible for it to be the Zerg. Why would they go to the trouble of arranging things on a human? Although the Zerg warriors are a bit stupid, they are not all fools. Occasionally, there are one or two smart ones."

"Zerg?" Du Long corrected, "I think the term 'gods' is more appropriate. They inherit the most powerful genes known in the entire universe."

Banbu asserted, "It's absolutely not a coincidence. How could there be such a coincidence?"

"That's not important." Du Long said, "Two guesses, Banbu, you should think about it carefully."

"First guess, to resist the destruction of the universe, even if the Natural True God is not dead, it is in an extremely weak, near-death state and difficult to recover. Otherwise, why wouldn't it return to the main universe itself?"

"Second guess... Based on the situation that the Natural True God is not dead, Banbu, if you stay in the Zerg, as a junior, I'm afraid you will always be suppressed by the Natural True God. In the 'Natural God System,' you can only be second in the sequence."

Du Long said, his tone gradually becoming impassioned, "Banbu, a new cosmic era, everything starts again. Why not take this opportunity to break away from the Natural God System? Thirty billion star systems are not lacking in fertile soil for survival. Just find a place to hide, and even the gods in their prime won't be able to find you. With the help of human technology, you can grow into a supreme true god and establish a god system as powerful as the Natural God System that belongs to you."
