Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 562 - 40: Greenskins! Greenskins!

WAAAGH!?

Upon hearing the strange sound mimicked by the blonde angel, Empress Isabella's expression changed drastically. She even trembled slightly, gripping Su Ziyu's hand involuntarily and murmuring, "Orcs!..."

"It's the Orcs!..."

"Those damn green skins!..."

"They're back!… They've returned at the Empire's weakest moment!..."

Empress Isabella's voice grew more and more despondent, until finally, it carried a shiver, bitterly saying, "The Empire is finished."

"This planet is finished too."

"Our power is not nearly enough to stop the green skin army!… Even at its peak, the Empire paid a devastating price when they defeated them!"

Green skins? Orcs?

Hearing this, Su Ziyu furrowed his brow. He reached out and touched the back of Empress Isabella's hand, allowing a slight mind wave to soothe her emotions before speaking, "Orcs? The kind of creatures with both plant and animal double helix? Life forms that can directly split and proliferate?"

"Yes." Empress Isabella felt Su Ziyu's spiritual wave, which gave her a hint of encouragement, and she softly spoke, "They're almost endless!..."

"Under the influence of the WAAAGH field, the more Orcs there are, the stronger the spiritual energy field they unleash."

"If it were the Empire before the Spiritual Ascension, we might barely have the power to fight them."

"But now…"

"We virtually have no chance of winning!..."

Upon hearing Empress Isabella's words, the blonde angel placed a finger on her temple, then softly said, "Tower Spirit! Read this world's collective consciousness information!..."

In an instant.

Su Ziyu's Space-Time Monitor System produced a certain sensation, and he perceived a data stream being collected, directly read by the blonde angel before him.

Such a strange method.

Very powerful!

In Su Ziyu's hazy perception, he could only sense that the world seen by the other party was a complex and vast information network, from which she could freely obtain whatever information she wished to know.

"Civilization progression after the nuclear era?"

"Once attempted a Spiritual Ascension? But failed?"

"The realm's collective consciousness still retains the wailing of death!... Strong malevolence and resentment!..."

"No."

"It's a leap of civilization!... You've accepted the technology from the Ancient Lost Empire!..."

"There are other civilizations?"

"Let me see what they are!... Insect race?..."

"Hmm."

"These insects seem to be up to something!..."

A trace of golden light appeared in the blonde angel's eyes, as she directly gazed towards the distant blue planet. In Su Ziyu's perception, he could sense her reading the collective consciousness information of the entire planet.

As if noticing his surprised expression, the blonde angel turned and smiled at Su Ziyu, softly saying, "Every world, every planet retains information from its past."

"Maybe through electronic networks."

"Perhaps through residual collective consciousness."

"In this field, there's an enlightened one named 'Void' who's quite formidable, he's a master of realm collective consciousness. Perhaps in the future, you could visit him."

"Reading collective consciousness information is not particularly difficult."

Void?

Enlightened?

Su Ziyu silently noted down this name.

"Void Realm?" The blonde angel seemed to glean something, with a hint of pain in her expression, and her brow furrowed as she said, "Void… contract!..."

"You dare venture into one of the Root Worlds without understanding anything!..."

"What a pity."

"This Crystal Wall Element's Void Realm has no connection with other Crystal Wall Elements. If we could contact Void Master, it would be perfect."

"He seems to be roaming in the Void Realm as well."

The blonde angel showed a look of regret, then shook her head and looked aside at Empress Isabella, slowly saying, "I roughly know what's happening."

"Isabella."

"The Empress of the Empire? Right. You now seem to be the former Empress."

"A group of rebels has already occupied your Golden Palace."

At this point, the blonde angel turned her gaze toward Su Ziyu, softly saying, "Mr. Su, my task this time is to assist you, to ensure your safety."

"As a Space-Time Inspector, you must independently make judgments for this mission."

"Based on the information I've read so far, this planet will struggle to withstand those green skins. However, the realm's collective consciousness of this planet is not willing to fail, showing signs of self-awareness. If we choose to assist, it will help us gather this planet's forces."

"We don't have much time left."

"The massive fleet of green skins is about to enter this star system."

Decision?

Su Ziyu turned to look at Empress Isabella beside him, then glanced towards the blue planet ahead, and raised his eyes to meet the blonde angel, solemnly saying, "Do we have a chance if we fight?"

"Yes." The blonde angel closed her eyes in thought for a moment, seemingly sorting information, then slowly said, "If we can unite with the insect swarm."

"We roughly have a thirty percent chance."

Only a thirty percent chance?

Su Ziyu couldn't help but show a bitter smile, then solemnly said, "Then let's prepare."

"What should we do?"

At this moment, the Space-Time Monitor System's mainline task emerged, but it differed from past tasks.

—"Continuity of Civilization (Fire): Ensure the continuation of the planet's civilization seed amidst invasion by unknown organisms and Orcs, ensuring at least one civilization seed survives."

"Objective 1 [Human Fire]: Ensure the continuation of human civilization seed, with surviving population sufficient to breed a new civilization."

"Objective 2 [Insect Swarm Fire]: Ensure the continuation of insect civilization seed, with at least one insect mother surviving."

"Reward 1: Authority Level Up, unlock Hourglass of Time, activate Power of Time, expand skill tree with time and space-related abilities."

"Reward 2: Gift from the planet's collective consciousness."

There's nothing much to say.

This time, he must go for it stubbornly because Su Ziyu discovered a special mark on the Hourglass of Time. Upon touching it with his consciousness, he immediately knew it was a test of the Hourglass of Time, requiring him to complete this mainline task to qualify for true control of the Hourglass of Time.

That Space-Time Guardian named Stephen said it was a key.

Su Ziyu doesn't yet know where it's a key to, but he knows now there's no way he can retreat.

At this moment.

The blonde angel's gaze fell on Empress Isabella beside, then slowly said, "I don't know enough about this planet, but the first step should be to help her regain her throne."

"Only this way can we gather most of the human military forces on this planet."

"We don't have much time left."

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyu decisively said, "Then let's act."

After speaking, he turned to look at Empress Isabella, staring into her eyes as he said, "It's not yet time to give up, we still have a glimpse of hope."

"Is your fighting spirit still there?"

Su Ziyu's words made Empress Isabella lift her head sharply. She directly faced Su Ziyu, solemnly saying, "Of course."

"I am the Empress of the Empire."

"Even in death, I shall be buried with the Empire!"

Excellent.

Such a real woman!

Su Ziyu likes such real women who absolutely refuse to flinch at crucial moments. He then solemnly said, "What are we waiting for."

"Prepare to set out."

Orcs?

Let me see how strong the Orcs who've undergone racial Genetic Ascension in the interstellar era truly are!
