My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 230 - 216: Sustainable Overfishing

Xue Dili momentarily doubted if he had misheard the information; it was only after repeatedly confirming that he realized the predecessor indeed mentioned a name called "Violent Dragon God."

At this moment, Xue Dili sharply slapped the translation module in front of him, beginning to suspect whether the module was malfunctioning again. He even once doubted if he had entered some mecha combat universe.

After all, the translation module's principle is to optimally combine languages based on the languages of other races, so some deviations might occur in the translation. However, the translation module quickly provided the root words.

According to the root words given by the predecessor, the ruling root word of the Dragon Race is "the God of the Violent Dragon Race," hence "Violent Dragon God" is a reasonable translation.

Xue Dili: "..."

So, they are now facing a world that was planted with trees by Apostles, and after planting, the entire world was ruled by an external race called the "Dragon Race"?

Xue Dili checked again on the root words for "Dragon Race" and found that it indeed matched the Dragon Race in his impression, with no mistranslation.

This involves the original problem with the translation module. When discussing with the Old Demon Emperor, his original identity was translated to "Demon King," which actually causes ambiguity.

Because the Old Demon Emperor does not mean the "Demon King" from "Hero vs. Demon King" but means "the king of the Demon Race." Corresponding to their Demon Race, translating it to "Mage Race" is actually more appropriate.

This initially caused many communication barriers between Xue Dili and the Old Demon Emperor.

However, this translation was rather accurate. Xue Dili closed his eyes and roughly simulated the social structure of the entire world in his mind.

The indigenous people of the world fought against the Divine Wood but failed. The survivors evolved to adapt to the post-disaster world, developing the ability to survive on the radiation-covered earth.

But not long after the Apostles left, the Dragon Race descended and forcibly ruled the world, controlling the entire world from behind the scenes, much like a high and mighty slave master ruling over the slaves below.

It's known that the Dragon Race is connected to the Apostles, and the Dragon Race might even be the clan of one of the Apostles... he thought of...

"Sustainable depletion!" Xue Dili uttered such a phrase.

Whether it was the Old Demon Emperor absorbing the Otherworld's history or Olivia, who had just finished explaining the current world's information, both looked at the contemplative Xue Dili.

And without hesitation, Xue Dili stated his analysis: "I've had contact with Divine Wood. This plant shows no mercy to any survivors; it greedily tries to cover all life in the world and condenses 'Divine Wood Fruit' beneficial even to those above the Apostles by absorbing their souls and energy."

"So even in a disadvantaged situation, the fact that there are still many survivors in this world itself is a point of suspicion..." Xue Dili shared his speculation, illuminating his mentor's eyes.

"Have you encountered Divine Wood before?" she asked.

"Yes, in my world, as a Planet Guardian, I once dealt with a disaster caused by Divine Wood." Xue Dili candidly replied; it was information he could disclose.

"Goodness, running into an expert; finding you this time is truly my luck."

And this carefree mentor suddenly slapped her bronze-colored, ample thigh under her shorts, seemingly thrilled to have found a treasure, nearly going in for a hug around Xue Dili's neck again.

However, after Xue Dili impassively evaded the attempted embrace, the mentor was not discouraged but rather laughed and patted his shoulder.

Actually, Xue Dili also felt relieved because the information provided by his mentor would have taken him days to sort out, and thinking about the subsequent plans made his head hurt again.

But now this Interstellar Corps mentor laid all the ancient history of this world and its entire societal structure on the table, which was a great help to him.

Thus, he also began sharing some information on the Divine Wood, including the mechanism of worldwide soul infection using "Evil Spirits" and the intelligence on fruit formation through soul and absorbed energy. Most crucially, after the Divine Wood descends on a planet, its roots will spread throughout the planet's underground over an extremely long period.

This forms an extremely complex and enormous underground root network, making it difficult for even the World Consciousness to clear all the underground roots unless the Divine Wood retracts its roots by itself.

Therefore, based on the foundation of the Dragon Race's rule, Xue Dili proposed a bold hypothesis.

"The Divine Wood on this planet has not completely disappeared, their roots are still growing and spreading underground, and the Dragon Race is actually more like the shepherd of that apostle, while the native creatures of this planet are the lambs..."

"When the internal population and energy of the planet recover, the underground roots of the Divine Wood will slowly grow into a new 'World Tree', thereby repeating the history from 3000 years ago, the new Divine Wood departing from the planet, leaving the survivors to continue waiting on this planet for the next harvest..."

Xue Dili closed his eyes and voiced his cruel speculation.

With this horrific hypothesis, both the senior Olivia and the Old Demon Emperor were stunned, they started to review the possibility of this hypothesis in their minds and found that according to the existing intelligence, this possibility was very high.

Among them, the Dragon Race and Violent Dragon God were just the "sheepdogs" kept by the apostle, their role was simply to let the population of the entire world's races recover to a sufficient number during the rule, and then proceed with the next round of harvesting.

This seemed like a grand and bloody colonial harvest, where the local residents completely became crops cut down batch after batch in the field, seemingly unable to resist, just like livestock being kept and waiting for slaughter, waiting for the despair of being harvested in full race to strike again.

Perhaps, every apostle had quite a few such fields of human crops, they kept countless planets and continuously searched for new ones, starting this long and bloody cycle of racial farming and harvesting.

It can be imagined that the indigenous people were like the native Americans kept centuries ago, their only value was to provide the rich with sport hunting, and their scalps and skulls were just excellent materials and decorations...

Xue Dili thought of his home planet, if not for his mother continuously transferring and destroying the Divine Wood, their world would have long been harvested batch after batch, however, Xue Dili thought about it and it seemed that in their world the time of Divine Wood's descent was in the late Cretaceous Period...

Good gracious, it seemed the Divine Wood was originally planning to harvest the dinosaurs?

In his mother's archives, Xue Dili knew that at that time the dinosaurs on Blue Star started becoming his mother's cultivation targets, they would gradually evolve into "Giant Dragons", having their own civilization and legacy, and the whole Blue Star would transform into the Dragon Star.

But due to his mother's intervention and the original life state of the Divine Wood, the process of transforming into the Dragon Star was interrupted, the dinosaurs became extinct in the natural disaster caused by the meteor, leaving only some small terrestrial birds to thrive to the present.

Meanwhile, the ancestral mammals, the scattered mice, seized the opportunity to rise, immediately occupying the ecological niche left behind by the dinosaurs' extinction, one of their branches quickly began to develop intelligence, thus converging evolutionarily into a form similar to that of the "Venerable King", which is now known as humans.

During the brainstorming in Xue Dili's mind, the senior seemed to have figured out the logic too, at that moment, she no longer wore a cheerful expression, her face turned somber and she hammered the table fiercely.

"Damn it, it might really be like this, what a dog-like Parliament, don't let us catch any evidence!" Olivia slammed down hard on the desk beneath her, the originally makeshift desk built with wooden boards and sticks immediately started to wobble.

If she hadn't controlled her strength while slamming down, the desk would likely have turned to dust right away, leaving a big pit on the ground.

Xue Dili and the Old Demon Emperor's faces also looked unpleasant, upon learning this news, the Old Demon Emperor's face was so dark that only his eyes and teeth seemed visible, it was his first time learning of these cosmic secrets, making this peace-seeking Demon Emperor very angry.

And Xue Dili realized that the Interstellar Corps seemed to have some understanding of the Black Mist Council, but he was not yet sure whether he could expose the fact that he had joined the Black Mist Council, he decided to selectively reveal some information to the senior after this operation was over.

Then followed a period where they made more assumptions on the existing possibility proposed by Xue Dili, adding more supplements, making the senior's face sour even further.

If their guesses were true, the cruelty involved in this would far surpass the so-called triangular trade and the crisp soap factory.

Every time they harvested over half of the population of a race, then after they bred again, another round of harvesting would begin. To them, what was life, something that could grow anytime like chives from the ground?

"Let's split up, kid, I will infiltrate the Dragon Race from the inside and conduct an investigation. If the situation is as we suspect, I will bring you over to slaughter these Dragon Race members together." Olivia immediately announced her plan,

"While you'll investigate other indigenous races from the outside and provide support whenever needed, we'll exchange information remotely through the message board every other day. Within the same planet, the message board delay is one second." The senior immediately laid out the next plan.

Xue Dili was actually somewhat uneasy about this senior's strength, although she was among the top of the Mythic Level and seemed close to reaching the quasi-5th Tier, he couldn't help but feel worried about the senior encountering issues over there, remembering how Uncle Brave, who had similar strength, met his downfall on the Holy Magic Continent.

Seemingly noticing Xue Dili's worried expression, the senior finally smiled again: "Don't worry, I have completed three planetary investigations and assisted in saving three worlds, see." She immediately lifted her vest, and Xue Dili realized she was wearing a set of translucent undergarments underneath.

Inside the vest were three Golden Medals, representing the honor of having saved other civilizations three times within the Interstellar Corps.
