Chapter 1002: Do You Know About the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch?

According to the girl, perhaps because technology was too advanced, the Great Void fell under the enslavement of a super brain, pushing the lives of the original inhabitants into an abyss of suffering, which led to the birth of the Resistance Army.

Currently, the only city that hasn't fallen is a place called Xuanyuan City…

Xuanyuan City?

Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked:

"Miss Mu, what exactly is this Xuanyuan City you're talking about, and why hasn't it been annexed by the Mechanical Alliance?"

Perhaps due to a certain person's [Favored by All Spirits] talent, Mu Feiyu felt an inexplicable sense of closeness toward Qi Yuan. Seeing that he didn't even know about such things, she didn't feel annoyed and simply answered patiently:

"Xuanyuan City is the ancestral land managed for generations by an ancient Family. Everyone in that Family has the surname Xuanyuan, hence the name Xuanyuan City."

"The reason Xuanyuan City has been able to hold out under the super brain's invasion, besides being strong enough, is more importantly because there is a peerless powerhouse guarding the city…"

At this point, Mu Feiyu's expression turned solemn, her face filled with deep respect:

"During the last great war, Xuanyuan City was already in a precarious state when a mysterious, once-in-a-lifetime powerhouse suddenly emerged."

"Using only an ordinary mecha that was a full two generations behind those of the Mechanical Alliance, they forcibly swept through an invincible fleet sent by the super brain, saving the city from danger."

"Currently, Xuanyuan City is the headquarters of the entire Resistance Army, carrying the last hope of saving this world…"

Xuanyuan City!

Hearing this, Qi Yuan completely confirmed the location of that group of Royal Descendants.

After all, with such a simple and direct name, it definitely couldn't be wrong.

As for the peerless powerhouse Mu Feiyu mentioned who turned the tide, it was most likely the former number one Goddess of War of the Great Qian, Xia Hanjun.

After all, as far back as the Great Desolation Era, Xia Hanjun was already a powerful Cultivator capable of rivaling a Golden Immortal. She was even called the War King Divine Body by Immortal Emperor Donghua; she was practically a born fighting machine.

Furthermore, Xia Hanjun herself practiced the Immortal Dao. After achieving Immortal Ascension, she no longer had any Lifespan restrictions and could definitely have lived until now.

More importantly, this Female General has stayed in the Great Void for millions of years and is fully capable of opening up a unique path of cultivation.

If that's the case, the current Xia Hanjun must be terrifyingly strong. With her guarding the city, it's no wonder Xuanyuan City has stood firm through this "Mechanical Crisis"!

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked the question he was most concerned about:

"Miss Mu, do you know about the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch?"

Upon hearing this name, Mu Feiyu, who was in a state of excitement, was instantly stunned. She first glanced at Qi Yuan in disbelief, then asked with a face full of suspicion:

"Brother Qi, why would you ask such a strange question? This world is originally called the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch. How can you talk about knowing it or not?"

What?

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was startled, his head spinning a little.

Good heavens, so this world isn't called the Great Void anymore; even its name has been changed to the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch. This is just too ridiculous, isn't it?

Seeing his dazed expression and how he looked like he hadn't seen much of the world, Mu Feiyu clearly took Qi Yuan for a bumpkin who had just come out of some backwater place and explained patiently:

"According to Article 1 of the 'Alliance Law,' everything in this world, including the Mechanical Alliance, belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch."

"Therefore, the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch has become an extremely broad concept. Theoretically, whether a citizen or a machine, everyone is a part of the Cyber Branch from birth until death."

"And the super brain that currently controls the world is itself the supreme intelligent entity created by the high-level officials of the Cyber Branch using countless resources."

"It's just that those high-level officials were momentarily negligent, allowing the super brain, which had developed its own sentience, to take advantage of the situation, leading to today's out-of-control state…"

Good heavens!

At this point, Qi Yuan finally understood the sequence of events, and a strange look appeared on his face.

So after all that, the many disturbances here were nothing more than an internal struggle within the Cyber Branch.

Simply put, a group of unfortunate descendants of the Cyber Branch failed to manage the intelligent entity they invented, leading to a backlash from the infinitely expanding power of technology…

In the final analysis, it was still due to his influence as the Chief Helmsman, which caused everyone in the Cyber Branch to over-idolize technology and ignore the hidden risks. Wouldn't this be considered shooting oneself in the foot?

Nowadays, whether it's the Resistance Army or the Mechanical Alliance, both claim to be the legitimate successors of the Cyber Branch. At first glance, it really does feel like the Huashan Sect splitting into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect…

Seeing Qi Yuan remain silent, Mu Feiyu thought he was shocked by the truth of this world and couldn't help but speak up to encourage him:

"Brother Qi, although the current situation is very grim, as long as the Resistance Army exists, there is hope of overthrowing the super brain's rule!"

The fact that the man before her didn't even know such basic common knowledge happened to prove that he wasn't a spy sent by the Mechanical Alliance to test her.

Combined with the fact that he was also a wanted criminal being pursued by the Mechanical Alliance, he could be fully trusted…

At this thought, Mu Feiyu's eyes narrowed slightly as she made a secret decision. Suddenly, she looked at Qi Yuan with an incredibly sincere gaze and slowly recounted:

"Brother Qi, to be honest, I came to Starlight City to carry out a top-secret mission, but unfortunately, I encountered an accident midway, which led to a group of Mechanical Guards being sent to kill me."

"I've been trapped in this place for over two months now. Forget about carrying out the mission; even retreating has become an extravagant hope…"

As she spoke, Mu Feiyu sighed, her tone becoming increasingly serious:

"So, if possible, I would like to ask Brother Qi to lend me a hand. Once we successfully escape, regardless of whether you're willing to join the Resistance Army, you'll receive a large reward."

In her view, since he had the ability to reach this place under the search of countless Mechanical Guards, his strength was bound to be significant. Perhaps there really was a glimmer of hope for him to lead her out of this death trap.

As for the mission, it could only be reconsidered later!

Facing Mu Feiyu's request, Qi Yuan's expression turned solemn, but he wasn't surprised in his heart.

Although this Wood Clan girl looked spirited and spoke with vigor, her body was actually already weakened beyond recognition; she was mostly holding on through sheer willpower.

If he hadn't appeared, this girl would likely have starved to death.

At a time like this, if she didn't seek help, the result would inevitably be death…

Although he had countless ways to help her out of her predicament, he didn't rush to agree, but instead said indifferently:

"Tell me about the mission you intended to carry out, and then I'll consider what to do next…"

After speaking, he very thoughtfully took a Spirit Fruit from his storage space and tossed it directly into Mu Feiyu's hand.
