CHAPTER 817: CHAPTER 370: THE SUPPRESSED SPIRIT CULTIVATOR

"What have you done..."

Gao Huating held her forehead, frowning.

The woman on the throne lowered her head to glance at her, eyes showing delight.

The woman gently raised her hand, and the full-body armor on Gao Huating’s body fell off by itself, as if the armor had developed its own spirit.

Gao Huating sat on the ground in her tight pressure suit, waves of dizziness accompanied by nausea continuously overwhelmed her.

The woman’s graceful voice sounded: "You are still too weak. As my reincarnation, it is time for you to accept the power, the timing is just right."

Gao Huating asked softly: "What have you done... What does Prisoner No. 1 mean... Is it me?"

"You are the master here."

The woman said softly:

"You are me, but the current me.

"You have not yet integrated my memories, so you are temporarily unable to understand us."

"What does Prisoner No. 1 mean?"

Gao Huating gradually adapted to the discomfort in her body. She supported herself with a nearby chair and stood up, her slim figure appearing somewhat frail in the pressure suit.

Gao Huating swallowed, staring intently at the woman:

"Are you planning to do something to Commander Wang Zheng.

"What exactly are you plotting?

"Do you have any truth for me? You say I am you, is this how you deceive yourself? You have always been using me, deceiving me to make me your mental puppet!"

The woman sighed gently with her eyes closed.

She corrected: "Not a mental puppet, you are my soul rebirth individual, supposed to be my spiritual continuation."

"Isn’t that still a puppet!"

"But you are an independent entity."

"You say you want to forget the tragedies and mistakes of your civilization."

"Yes, I did not deceive you. Once I am finished with all this, I will hand over everything here to you."

The woman gently sighed:

"Xiao Huating, you do not know the pain of bearing the passage of time.

"I only said that you cannot understand me, but I never demanded that you must understand me. Understanding me means carrying a lot of weight.

"Compared to the continuation of civilization and its revival, personal gains and losses are sometimes insignificant.

"Look..."

The woman raised her hand and gently slid it in front of her.

Gao Huating instinctively looked around.

The once empty hall became noisy, with laughter and long-robed or long-skirted men and women busy joking and bustling about in various places.

Their faces were illuminated by flickering lights from the alien screens in front of them.

This place should be a command center.

The lights and shadows dissipated with the wind, leaving only the Tyndall effect created by simulated sunlight and some tiny specks of dust in the light.

The woman said: "Our civilization died over 600,000 planetary revolutions ago, but now, we have the opportunity for our civilization’s resurrection... child, would you abandon your own civilization?"

Gao Huating instinctively clenched her fists.

The woman looked extremely sad and said softly:

"Indeed, I have been plotting against that cultivator.

"He is too important to us, so much so that I lied... anyone would lie if it’s for their own benefit.

"Even those rigid blade beasts, don’t they also choose to lie selectively for their own benefit?"

Gao Huating asked: "Is our civilization really that important? Hasn’t it already been destroyed? After hundreds of thousands of years, is there any point in reviving it?"

"There is meaning."

The woman gazed at Gao Huating:

"That way I can be freed, leave this prison, and completely dissipate.

"For over 600,000 years, because of the power of this city itself, I have been unable to die, unable to pass away, not even able to self-destruct. I could only awaken coldly time and again from the empty, deathly silent palace, then wait for my own memory to blur, my consciousness to become chaotic, and enter what is called slumber.

"With the revitalization of civilization, I will have fulfilled the mission of civilizational watch, and the Cloud City will return to its proper place, allowing me to be liberated.

"And you, my rebirth, you will not need to bear any suffering and pain, becoming the master of this star domain, leading humans, blade beasts, spirit cultivators, and their spirit slaves into a new era.

"That may give you the illusion of becoming a god, but I hope you can remain rational, focusing on the reproduction of individuals and the inheritance of civilization and culture."

Gao Huating:...

The woman looked at the screen in front of her.

The alien screen expanded outward, showing scenes of Wang Jixuan and others searching the streets.

The woman said slowly: "If these are things you temporarily cannot comprehend, then I can tell you something you might care about. Our civilization’s successful resurrection means spirit cultivators will be our spirit slaves, and the blade beast disaster can be resolved with a mere thought of yours."

Gao Huating’s expression shifted slightly.

The woman added: "Prisoner No. 1 is now more than just a soul, he has a body, and you are very fond of him. Your union with him is the process of the civilization’s continuation, and he is eligible to become your mate."

"The last cultivation technique..."

"It is effective, but that is only a part of my plan."

The woman stated calmly:

"The core of my plan is not to do anything, but to arouse his curiosity through these actions.

"His nature is filled with exploration and a thirst for knowledge.

"Though I don’t oppose open gender relationships, we ourselves are noble, and noble beings require elegance. The physical union should be preceded by a full sense of ritual."

The corners of the woman’s mouth revealed a slight smile.

She gently raised her hand, palm facing the screen, and then lightly clenched it.

"Now, we can slowly capture him..."

Gao Huating suddenly lunged forward, attempting to hold down the woman’s raised arm.
