Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1239 - 1208: Study

The Gauls have some integrity and haven't exposed Chen Fei's personal information. It might also be that the intelligence they received is incomplete, and what the public sees in the video is merely a unit under the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee.

If the sky falls, for now, there are still tall individuals (sovereignty and defense committee) to hold it up. Whether it will affect Chen Fei, no one can guarantee.

"Xiao Fei, how do you plan to deal with this next?"

Chen Haiqing obviously knew more than his children, but he didn't intend to explain further.

"Keep silent, refuse all interviews, and believe that the sovereignties will also issue relevant news bans."

Chen Fei had already decided on a plan; he could predict the sovereignties' next move.

Because the paper can't cover the fire forever, it will eventually leak one day. It was unexpected that it happened so soon, and it was the Gauls who broke the silence first. Truly worthy of being a revolutionary region, adept in everything, best at causing trouble.

In comparison, the sovereignties should be more anxious than Chen Fei.

After all, the sudden revelation involves too many things; any slight mistake could lead to the disintegration of the entire governing body due to this unexpected event. There's never a shortage of people eager to take over and capable of handling the job well.

Of course, there are even more who can screw things up.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Chen Shan and the four sisters and brothers-in-law were all puzzled, totally unable to understand the conversation between their dad and Chen Xiao'er.

"Adults are talking, children... um, eat your meal properly, don't... choke!"

After all, the big brother is Little Shanzi's biological father, so Chen Fei, this heartless cousin, has to restrain himself a bit.

"..." Chen Shan rolled his eyes dramatically.

If it weren't for the family being present, he'd have slammed the rice bowl on this bastard's head.

In the Chen Family, Chen Shan normally wasn't a well-behaved child either; he just got beaten into submission by brothers Chen Shi and Chen Fei, feeling insecure whenever he saw them.

On the side, Shen Fei grabbed Chen Fei's hand and said, "Have you always been fighting those things?"

She finally realized the work her boyfriend was doing was something unimaginable for ordinary people.

"Ah! Haha, it's not as dangerous as you think. Usually, I'm stationed at the rear, overseeing things. If anything happens, I run faster than anyone."

Chen Fei patted Shen Fei's hand to reassure her.

"I can guarantee it!"

The S-Class Space Ability User vowed confidently; he's most skilled at fleeing with people.

Besides, Chen Fei possesses the "Boundary Pearl," an alchemical artifact of a divine level. The life space inside connects to a "Life Tree," capable of crushing a biological space mothership, not counting the Pure Light Sparrow flock already over ten thousand. Over time, his life-saving cards have increased significantly compared to before.

"I believe you!"

Shen Fei smiled slightly at Chen Fei, not just because of the S-Class Ability User's assurance.

In terms of danger, facing the terrifying "Sagali" civilization at the 911 Aircrew Base was no less intense than the corporate wars they experienced back then.

Chen Shan: "..."

His gaze kept flitting back and forth between Chen Fei and his father, sensing they were hiding something significant from him.

This dinner was without taste at all.

After dinner, the living room was crowded with nine enormous SPA fruits.

Though the brothers-in-law didn't dare to mention it, Chen Fei had everything arranged clearly, gifting the whole family a collective SPA. It delved into DNA base pair editing repairs, thoroughly eliminating ailments like fatty liver, the three highs, cardiovascular diseases, gout, myopia, lumbar disc herniation, and rheumatism. Whether sick or healthy, it completely rejuvenated them. Although it can't extend lives, it significantly improves the quality of survival.

The only regret is that the SPA fruit has a very short shelf life and can't be distributed as a big gift package.

The vast living room was empty of people, leaving only scattered large fruits. The scene was somewhat eerie.

"Can you reveal a bit about Habulav's matter?"

Chen Haiqing sent his younger son to entertain Shen Fei and Chen Fei's two "bodyguards," while he took Chen Fei to the study.

In the study, the most practical items were only the desk and a few chairs, along with a window for light; everything else was just decoration.

The greatest value of the bookshelf against the wall is purely for show, as the neatly arranged hardcover books hardly ever get the chance to be read.

It wasn't until his uncle closed the study door that Chen Fei began to speak.

"Because of internal conflict, the whole city was destroyed..."

He succinctly introduced the cause and effect of the situation.

"Didn't expect everything to come together like that."

After hearing the true reason for Habulav's destruction, Chen Haiqing sighed and shook his head.

The Global United Defense Committee's internal, accumulated contradictions over time are not only between sovereignties but also between individuals and small factions. Combined with those who fear chaos and harbor ulterior motives, the "Sagali" civilization acted like a fuse that was harshly ignited on this heap of gunpowder barrels. Internal reviews were crudely and simply conducted, further exploited maliciously by others, leading to a chain reaction that completely spiraled out of control. Habulav became a casualty of various reasons.

Luckily, Chen Fei was in Habulav at the time, right in the Heavy Criminal Prison, and he intervened proactively, preventing a major explosion. Otherwise, the situation would have worsened, becoming even harder to manage. Just imagining those imprisoned ability-user criminals, once freed and regaining their viciousness, sends chills down the spine.

Chen Haiqing again assessed Chen Fei, who fought at the forefront against the "Sagali" civilization as a Chen Family disciple, tentatively asking, "Taking time to come over like this, you won't miss anything important, will you?"

"There's currently no target that requires action, and not everything can be pushed onto me. Even if an emergency arises, with Mr. Brown, the S-Class Space Ability User, here, he'll make it in time no matter what."

Chen Fei spread his hands, indicating that being a "one-man army" was only for combat. If logistics and intelligence were also included, it would be too much to ask of anyone.

"Hmm, that's good; better not get too involved, lest you be exploited."

Chen Haiqing was satisfied with Chen Fei staying temporarily at the camp on Socotra Island. The power struggles at the sovereign level are unpredictable, with even Louis Industries having to flee. If something happened, even he and National Defense Star wouldn't protect Chen Fei in time.

He thought for a moment and asked, "The life-extending drug matter, it won't bring too much pressure on you, will it?"

Not many know the intelligence of the life-extending drug, and when Chen Fei introduced the Habulav incident earlier, he mentioned it casually.

They're all part of the Chen Family; one character doesn't form the word Chen with two characters. If even his uncle can't be trusted, then there's not much on earth that can be.

"The local forces have taken over everything; I can't produce a single drop now, aiming at me is a waste of effort. However, I did make some new discoveries, but they can't be called good news."

Chen Fei said this as he looked at his uncle Chen Haiqing, waiting for him to digest the hidden implications behind his statement.

Chen Haiqing pondered briefly and quickly caught the key points.

"About the life-extending drug? Can you replicate it? No wait, is it because the cost is too high?"

Three questions in a row, all hitting the highlights.

"Uncle's guesses are not completely correct, but they are close. The core essence of the life-extending drug should be the soul components. If it is merely the flesh remaining youthful, it would just be a living corpse; the soul is the key. The 'Sagali' civilization hunts intelligent species as prey to extract souls in some manner, making things like the life-extending drug to become their capital for conquering the void. The logic chain suddenly becomes clear."

Thanks to the Dog System's variety of endless rogue tasks and Miyoshi Xuesen's Jianghu experience instilling, Chen Fei became adept at using minimal intelligence to deduce more clues, a vital skill for the current situation.

"So they feed on souls. No wonder!"

Chen Haiqing had also encountered materials on the "Sagali" civilization. Normally, a civilization that develops biotechnology should easily solve food and clothing issues. Even relying on a special survival method such as "parasitism," they should effortlessly cultivate hosts, making it unnecessary to invade other civilizations.

Chen Fei speculated that "souls" are the key resource for "Sagali" to step into the void, which explained everything.

For Blue Star humans, with lifespans of merely a century or so, they can't even leave the Solar System, let alone engage in interstellar voyages at galaxy units. Currently, it's by relying on miracle creations like the "Longinus" that interstellar relations with Cangqiong Star occur; there's still a long way to truly reach the starry sea.

Chen Fei candidly said, "There's not much information about 'souls'; it's mostly philosophical, with no substantive content. I don't intend to replicate the life-extending drug either. After a little research, I'll seal all the materials since independently extracting 'soul' components violates ethics and is inhumane."

Chen Haiqing nodded and said, "Yes, your decision is correct. Since ancient times, every emperor has desired eternal youth. At the pinnacle of power is immortality. Life-extending drugs are too sensitive; it's better that you don't get involved with them." He also didn't wish for immortality, thus he didn't encourage Chen Fei to delve too deeply into the rather taboo field of "souls."

Shifting his tone, he continued, "By the way, does that SPA fruit have any relation to your 'soul' research?"

"None at all! SPA Fruit doesn't have life-extending effects. It's merely a gift from the original 'Seed Nest' of the 'Sagali' civilization. You might as well try it later; it takes just a dozen minutes to condition the body to its best state."

Of course, Chen Fei wouldn't casually touch such a forbidden field, as it easily makes one a target for all.

"Good! You're considerate." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Chen Haiqing wasn't in a rush to try Chen Fei's SPA fruit and continued chatting with him about the current situation.

The present circumstances not only concern Chen Fei but also involve the Chen Family. The upheaval in Habulav is merely a microcosm, and similar events will happen elsewhere.

The internal turmoil within the American Federation is intensifying. Isn't it another reshuffle orchestrated by the hands behind the scenes? Essentially, it's still a confrontation between "old money" and "new money," akin in significance to the Civil War.

Because of the interconnectedness, the changes in the American situation have also sparked a confrontation between old and new forces on the Europa Continent, causing societal upheaval, "Qin's lost deer," resulting in everyone vying for it.
