Chapter 627 - 307: So We Actually Know Each Other

Yu Feng first realized that plane merchants could be deceptive... No, it’s normal for merchants to be profit-driven and to lie. The reason he had this thought was entirely because the difficulty of Su Jiameng’s task had already skyrocketed beyond imagination!

He once had a gentleman’s agreement with a Level Thirteen merchant, who had completed two cross-plane tasks, and it was from this person that he learned about cross-plane tasks. Yu Feng always knew that the difficulty of cross-plane tasks could only be high, not low!

However, no matter how high, there should be a ceiling! After all, no matter how amazing a plane merchant is, they’re essentially just one person. Even if they run around with a small team, they’re still weak and can’t directly confront an interstellar alliance, at most assisting an alliance in completing a high-difficulty task. But the task this woman accepted... the difficulty is just too much...

"The specific clues you mentioned do exist, but I have some unfortunate news for you... the difficulty of your cross-plane task this time is unusually high, and the chance of failure far outweighs that of success." Yu Feng looked seriously, without any perfunctory attitude, "Let’s start with the first point, acquiring the Clay Emperor Ore condensed by an Insect Imperial in the Dark West Corner Star Domain is almost impossible to complete..."

Su Jiameng’s thinking was different from ordinary people, "Why? Could it be that this Insect Imperial has already been waylaid by someone?"

Yu Feng tried to maintain a calm expression and continued, "Naturally not, the strength of this Insect Imperial speaks for itself... Without this guy’s assistance, the Insect Race couldn’t have lasted this long. Throughout history, the number of Insect Imperials appearing wasn’t too many or too few, but never has one been as cunning as this guy. Many speculate that it has reason and intelligence..."

Hearing this, Su Jiameng couldn’t help but twitch her lips, an Insect Race developing intelligence, and it’s an Insect Imperial level giant... Damn it, don’t even mention her current injured state; even at her Level Nine peak of mind state, she wouldn’t dare claim she could definitely take it down!

"As for the second point, occupying the Maxiwa Delta... you probably don’t know, the Maxiwa Delta is actually a refuge for many interstellar alliance traitors, full of arson, plunder, and every conceivable evil. Even the criminal with the lightest crime there is one caught in the act of attempting to betray their race... Typically, those who’ve committed crimes and are sentenced to death flee here seeking shelter. This place can be said to be an interstellar malignant tumor ready to kill at any moment..." Yu Feng said this with a very serious expression.

Su Jiameng’s lips twitched even more, who could tell her how she could possibly complete these two high-difficulty tasks?

"Then... what’s the third?" Su Jiameng took a deep breath and suddenly spoke, "You don’t have to worry about my thoughts, no matter what the content is, I think I can accept it... It surely won’t be about destroying the entire Divine’s Remnant Clan..."

Yu Feng had a subtle expression and said something that almost made Su Jiameng spit blood, "Destroy the entire Divine’s Remnant Clan? In a sense, that’s indeed the case. Extracting the core energy of the Divine’s Remnant Clan... is not much different from direct destruction."

Su Jiameng was stunned, and Yu Feng explained, "The Divine’s Remnant Clan is modified from clones to be mechanical beings, and the energy they require to function cannot be acquired through eating food or self-generation by their bodies. Moreover, because they are the product of genetic malpractice, these clone-modified mechanical beings have short lifespans. If the energy problem is solved, they can gain life beyond that of ordinary intelligent creatures..."

"Because their birth is not a natural phenomenon, there are inevitably imperfections in certain aspects, and energy is an insurmountable weakness. The energy required by the modified beings also demands high purity," Yu Feng added, "Of course, not all of the Divine’s Remnant Clan are modified beings, some are purely autonomous intelligent robots. These robots can function on any source of energy, making them a rather unique existence within the Divine’s Remnant Clan."

"So... the core energy of the Divine’s Remnant Clan... is the main source of energy for their birth, survival, and activities?" Su Jiameng guessed with twitching lips, but inwardly hoped her guess was wrong.

"Yes..." Yu Feng’s words sentenced Su Jiameng to death, as she wondered what kind of crazy person could come up with such an unreasonable task!

"I think... I need some time to calm down and think about how to proceed next." Su Jiameng gritted her teeth, not only blaming herself for being so dumb but also for mistakenly accepting such an abnormal task!
