Chapter 1107: Chapter 818: Epiphany (Second Update)

It chased after that Alien, emitting a unique screeching sound, much like the cries of an animal in heat.

The Alien didn’t look back, continually accelerating to escape.

Bai Ze, like a mad creature, relentlessly pursued, causing chaos among the migrating monsters.

After a long chase, the Alien finally managed to shake off Bai Ze.

At this moment, a voice mumbled to itself inside the Alien.

“Phew~ finally got rid of it! That was driving me insane.”

This voice was none other than Su Mo.

Just then, the voice of the Fake Owner · Swallower echoed inside Hagok.

“It’s not like it wasn’t your own foolish confidence.”

“Can you blame me? If you had given a bit more power to your scanning ability, we could have avoided it altogether, without all this awkwardness. But seriously, it’s ghostly; you’re possessing Hagok’s corpse, releasing what’s supposed to be a standard V-level Heroic aura. Bai Ze shouldn’t have been afraid at all, so where did it go wrong? Why did it chase us to the death?”

Su Mo couldn’t help but complain.

“Who said Bai Ze was out to fight you to the death? It was clearly after Hagok, looking for a mate!”

The Fake Owner · Swallower replied in a low voice.

“What the hell, so the thing was in heat? But wait, isn’t Bai Ze and the Alien two different kinds of monsters?”

“They are different species, but their life forms are very similar. Moreover, high-level species don’t care about types; they only care whether mating will produce stronger offspring. You should learn this well.”

“Why should I learn this?”

Su Mo said with an exceptionally varied expression.

“I suggested before that you could capture creatures from other civilizations and improve their genes.”

“Get lost, I refuse. Why do you so eagerly advocate for me to improve the next generation’s genes?”

“Don’t you humans have a saying? If the main character’s run is wasted, train a new one. Though you haven’t wasted yours yet, you can prepare in advance!”

“I despise you. Let’s not talk about this. Let’s move forward quickly; success or failure hinges on this. I hope my intuition is correct; otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain it when we get back.”

Su Mo couldn’t help but roll his eyes, then said wryly.

“It was you who insisted on this, even though we were already heading back.”

The Fake Owner · Swallower replied coldly.

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but fall into reminiscence.

Shadow.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue slowly walked toward the command room.

On the way, Su Mo didn’t speak, looking slightly silent.

Just then, Su Mo passed a viewing platform and suddenly stopped, standing still, gazing out at the distant crimson earth.

The ship’s broadcast kept ringing out with Sun Duoxiang’s loud voice.

“Everyone, get ready and take your posts; we’re going home!”

…

At this moment, Qian Chengxue called out softly, “Su Mo?”

Unfortunately, Su Mo didn’t respond at all; he was lost in thought, staring at the distant crimson earth, completely not hearing Qian Chengxue’s calls.

“Su Mo?”

Qian Chengxue then called out again, a bit louder.

“Hmm, sorry, I was a little distracted for a moment.”

Su Mo snapped back to reality, looking at Qian Chengxue with some apology in his voice.

“It’s okay, I understand. Is it because we didn’t find the main fleet, and you’re feeling upset?”

Qian Chengxue saw right through what Su Mo was thinking and asked with a gentle smile.

Su Mo didn’t hide it from Qian Chengxue. He sighed deeply, looking into the distance as he said, “Yes, we struggled to get here, through so many twists and turns, and faced so much. Unfortunately, in the end, we still couldn’t find the main fleet to deliver the supplies into their hands, oh~.”

“I know you’re not quite resigned, but this isn’t your fault; reality often has its twists. And, consider this, it might not be a bad thing.”

“You don’t have to comfort me; I’m okay.”

“I’m not comforting you; I’m just telling you my most sincere thoughts. An unresolved resolution might be the best outcome. Imagine if we really found the main fleet and discovered it was already destroyed, wouldn’t we be left with no hope at all?”

Qian Chengxue smiled soothingly.

Listening to Qian Chengxue, Su Mo was slightly stunned, then spoke.

“What did you say?”

“I said not finding the main fleet might be a good thing, leaving us with some hope. Why?”

Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo with confusion.

“Not that sentence, the one before it!”

Su Mo shook his head in response.

“An unresolved resolution might be the best outcome.”

Qian Chengxue recalled and replied.

After hearing this, Su Mo muttered repeatedly, “An unresolved resolution might be the best outcome, no clues…..”

Suddenly, a light sparkled in Su Mo’s eyes. He suddenly recalled that everyone reported to him that all they found were remnants of mechanical wreckage.

But uniquely, in the direction he initially explored to the very end, not a trace of a clue was visible.

The main fleet’s migration leaves either a mass of traces or none at all.

As traces might have been destroyed by migrating monster tides. After all, only massive monster tides could cover the traces of the main fleet, plus the harsh storms masking it all, making perfect sense.

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn’t help but gasp. He slowly closed his eyes, meticulously recalling his explorations back then.

Qian Chengxue stood silently beside him, not disturbing Su Mo.

She knew that Su Mo surely sensed something.

Suddenly, Su Mo opened his eyes wide. He remembered the direction he had explored before, that the hoards of monsters he encountered seemed to be intentionally migrating in one direction, and only that path had significant monster tide traces.

Normally, monsters on Ceres should drift aimlessly. If migrating in one direction occurred, there’s only one possibility: they were targeting something.

And the target was very likely the main fleet.

Thinking of this, Su Mo’s face immediately lit up with joy. He told Qian Chengxue, “Yes, it’s possible, I know, it’s right, definitely.”

Qian Chengxue listened with a puzzled expression.

Just then, a subordinate of Sun Duoxiang hurried over, respectfully addressing Su Mo.

“Lord Su Mo, you’re needed in the command room for directing the atmospheric breakthrough operation.”

“I understand, let’s go!”

Without further words, Su Mo led Qian Chengxue towards the command room.

Along the way, the low voice of the Fake Owner · Swallower also echoed in Su Mo’s mind.

“What do you intend to do?”

“I have a strong premonition that the main fleet should be in the direction we previously explored. We just haven’t gone far enough.”

Su Mo replied with certainty.
