When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.-Chapter 324 - 225: The Truth About a Corner of the Ruins_2
Chen Qing felt those with intentions had already paid the price for their greed and ambition.
Whether they are still the same people as before is really uncertain.
From the fragments of consciousness of the Mechanical Civilization, Chen Qing glimpsed a shred of truth about the civilization’s destruction.
It was a conflict between humans and machines.
Machines wanted to control humans, and humans wanted to escape the control of machines, ultimately leading to the destruction of a civilization.
Now, those consciousness fragments that escaped from the ruins want to return to the era of machines.
They intend to continue what the Mechanical Civilization had not finished.
Sword Dance Mantis, symptoms of the virus, are just one of their methods.
From the current situation where the Mechanical Association and the ruins’ consciousness are dragging the entire Deep Blue Sea Domain into this, it seems like this might be the last game between these two sides.
It’s either do or die, or lose everything.
This is not merely some minor scuffles between the Mechanical Association and the rebels. It’s a war between the lost civilization and the marine civilization!
It’s just unknown whether the other forces in the Deep Blue Sea Domain are aware of these issues.
Honestly, if it weren’t for today’s fluke, Chen Qing wouldn’t have thought that a civilization that had been destroyed and vanished could make a resurgence.
Moreover, it has already infiltrated the Deep Blue Sea Domain so deeply.
However, there is one thing about the truth of the destruction of the Mechanical Civilization that Chen Qing still doubts.
Humans and machines of the Mechanical Civilization had been at loggerheads for so long. How could it suddenly be destroyed so thoroughly, leaving just the right size of ruins behind?
Apart from the ruins, not a trace was left behind.
Inside the ruins, fragments of consciousness of the civilization still remain.
The destruction of the Mechanical Civilization seems to have another hidden force behind it.
Able to destroy a civilization so easily...
Chen Qing opened her eyes, just the water of the Deep Blue Sea Domain was murky enough. What would the Scarlet Sea Domain be like?
The death of the Great Pirate Moana, and the return of Lei Guang, seem to also be hiding some major secrets.
But these matters ultimately have nothing to do with Chen Qing.
These issues have already exceeded her capabilities. Could she alone combat an entire civilization?
Chen Qing didn’t have the ability, nor did she plan to do so.
The complete annihilation of a whole civilization. How could that not be considered another form of equality for all living beings?
She was only interested in that ruins, which must be full of challenges.
Chen Qing curled her lips with a smile, her eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
The consciousness fragments of the Mechanical Civilization planning to occupy the entire Deep Blue Sea Domain would need more time. If they had enough ability, why would they choose such an indirect method?
The Deep Blue Sea Domain is also a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Who wins and who loses is still uncertain.
After all, there are so many retired bigwigs. Previously, Lei Guang was nestling in a small yard on Sapphire Island.
Chen Qing didn’t plan to get deeply involved. These matters couldn’t pique her interest at all.
As for whether the victory of the Mechanical Civilization would affect her if it happens, Chen Qing didn’t care at all.
If that day really comes, so be it.
Since coming to this world from Blue Star, no one had ever asked for their opinion, right?
But before that day arrives, Chen Qing would still strive to live.
She had promised her mother-in-law that.
Chen Qing raised her arms, stretched lazily, and accidentally tore the wound on her waist, causing fresh blood to flow out again.
Yet, she lay on a thick tree trunk as if she felt nothing, staring at the dark green metallic leaves. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"What a rare moment of peace,"
she murmured softly.
As long as she stayed beside this tree, there was a very serene and tranquil feeling. She didn’t need to worry about anything, didn’t need to think about anything.
It almost felt like it truly was the guardian deity of this island.
Chen Qing closed her eyes, her breathing becoming even.
The Law Enforcer appeared beside Chen Qing, holding her sword and leaning against the tree, silently protecting Chen Qing.
The battles on the island continued, but all of that no longer concerned Chen Qing.
...
The rare peaceful moment lasted until the arrival of Xia Li. Chen Qing informed Xia Li about everything that had happened in the Mechanical Graveyard.
These issues should rightfully trouble the Mechanical Association.
After all, they were the ones who caused them, weren’t they?
Being an insider, Xia Li immediately understood the situation from Chen Qing’s description.
She quickly brought some key figures of the Mechanical Association and quietly came to the Deserted Island.
Accompanying her was also the President of the Mechanical Association, Shi Fangtu.
