Blue Star.
Top floor of the Human Civilization United Defense Building.
Lu Heng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window on this top floor, looking down at the city below.
Raindrops pattered against the glass, bouncing off into little splashes.
This United Defense Building was completed only half a year ago. It is the work building for the Planetary Defense Departnt and has already been put into use.
The entire building was constructed using nanotechnology, employing carbon nanotubes, special alloys, and nano-ceramic composite materials.
According to the information, it's said to be resistant to high temperatures, and its earthquake resistance level is currently the highest available.
Basically, as long as it's not directly hit by a High Rank creature, the main structure won't be damaged.
...
Lu Heng returned from Outer Space two days ago, but the news of his ascension to a god has not been made public.
When one's status is already at the pinnacle of civilization, there's no need to boast.
Whether at the Demigod or True God Rank, one is already the strongest in civilization, and their status won't change significantly.
Lu Heng placed his hand on the glass window, feeling the World Law of Blue Star, contemplating the issue of godly existence.
Should he choose to adjust his grasp of the laws to synchronize with Blue Star and then establish a Main World Defense Law?
Or should he maintain the state of Chaos Law?
The vast majority of gods, after understanding the contention for divine power, choose to hide in a world, using World Law to build a nest, defending against attacks from other gods and Demon Gods.
If one were to choose a world to establish a Law Defense System, it would certainly be Blue Star.
However, hiding in a world, while it can fend off Outer God incursions, is essentially akin to confining oneself.
Therefore, Lu Heng has not yet made up his mind and planned to postpone this matter.
...
Tap tap tap...
The sound of leather shoes on ceramic tiles ca from outside the door. Qi Jinhui knocked on the open door and then stepped into the hall.
He held a docunt in his hand and said, "Chief, last ti, through faction division, a batch of bloodline humans was pulled out from the Descent Faction. The council is discussing how to handle them."
Lu Heng didn't turn around, continuing to watch the raindrops outside the window and asked, "What's your opinion?"
Qi Jinhui replied, "Both Chief Li and I think they should be executed directly, but so of them have special identities and are entangled in a large network of interests, so the council is at odds about the handling thod."
Lu Heng roughly guessed what was going on and asked, "Who are these big shots?"
Qi Jinhui spread his hands and said, "There are a few financial moguls who can even influence national decisions in their countries. Also, during the Demon God Descent crisis, it was this group that spread the apocalypse threat theory."
Human civilization established the United Council three years ago, but Blue Star is still divided by national governance, and this form won't change in the short term.
In fact, if it weren't for the strong team led by Lu Heng, it would be difficult for the Human United Council to gain absolute authority.
Similar organizations appeared even before the Abyss Era, but they were always more like mascots.
Now, the Human United Council is completely different, holding the highest power of civilization.
Because standing behind the Human United Council is Lu Heng, along with the support of the Great Xia Military, after the success of the global nuclear weapons silence plan, there's only one voice on Blue Star.
Of course, the original national structures still exist, and each country has its own interest groups, making the situation very complex.
When Lu Heng heard it was sothing from the financial sector again, he waved his hand and said, "Execute them if caught. Humanity is preparing to step into the transition phase, and acting decisively is more efficient."
Qi Jinhui bowed his head in agreent, "Okay, I'll take your attitude back."
Two years ago, he still referred to Lu Heng as "Mr. Lu," but in the past two years, he has addressed him as "Chief."
In fact, over the years, he went from being a Junior Officer to earning a single gold olive branch star.
The most important job he might have is the liaison work with Lu Heng.
He has basically participated in the highest-level operations in the war zone.
Of course, he participated as a staff mber, not directly involved in combat, but a staff role in the war zone is crucial, so he achieved many accolades, and his military rank rose accordingly.
General liaison work doesn't require him anymore; he only manages liaison work for one person, which is Lu Heng.
For this reason, when choosing Skill Crystal Cores, he made sacrifices and allocated so Skill Slots to the communication enhancent route.
After discussing the issue of bloodline remnants, Qi Jinhui brought up another matter:
"Two days ago, the Star Realm rchant sent a ssage hoping you could contact them when you have ti. I inquired further, and the reply was that there has been a breakthrough in the research on fluorescent plants."
Lu Heng nodded and replied, "Alright, I understand."
After reporting a few important matters, Qi Jinhui filed a report and left.
Lu Heng happened to have sothing to discuss with the Star Realm rchant, so he opened the Star Gate and teleported to the number one Ecological Ball of the Star Realm rchant.
As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, a holographic image appeared in front of him.
Azik stood in the image, waving to greet him: "You finally made it, co to the Plant Research Institute."
With a quick movent, Lu Heng appeared in front of the Plant Research Institute.
Azik was already waiting there, waving and saying, "Co quickly, we might have succeeded. We've already reached the fourth generation, and the fluorescent characteristics of the fluorescent vine are still holding strong. Lu Heng, my clan might be saved."
His tone was very excited, yet he dared not be too sure with his words.
This was because the Star Realm rchant had wandered in the star realm crevices for thousands of years, having seen countless worlds and experienced nurous disappointnts.
This ti, they reached the fourth generation, and the current experintal results are successful, but what if the fluorescent characteristics begin to weaken in the next generation?
So Azik's mood was both excited and anxious, fearing it might once again be a re illusion.
Lu Heng accompanied him into the Plant Research Institute, first greeting botanist Professor Helr before proceeding together to the cultivation room to see the experintal samples.
Helr led the two past the first cultivation room entrance, pointing to the Golden Tree inside the glass cabin and introduced:
"This is Hope One, grafted with the Drip Vine.
"The Drip Vine was found in the gene bank, a semi-parasitic vine plant, achieving a relatively stable balance in symbiosis with the Golden Tree."
Parasitic plants are categorized into many types, distinguishable by their parasitic thods into two types: complete parasitic and semi-parasitic.
For Blue Star's completely parasitic plants, they also lack chlorophyll and cannot perform photosynthesis. They need to draw all water and nutrients from the host plant.
Semi-parasitic plants, on the other hand, usually have green leaves and can perform photosynthesis, requiring only water from the host plant, then performing photosynthesis through their own leaves to synthesize nutrients.
The characteristic of semi-parasitic plants is root degeneration, making it difficult to obtain water from the soil, thus opting for a semi-parasitic survival thod.
Relatively speaking, semi-parasitic plants cause less harm to the host plant and many can form symbioses, even providing benefits to the host from other aspects.
The Drip Vine cultivated by the Star Realm rchant is such a plant that achieves symbiotic balance.
Helr continued to explain: "The na 'Drip Vine' already indicates its characteristic; it absorbs nutrients from the Golden Tree to sustain itself, and the pores it grows later will drip fluorescent nutrient liquid.
"The fluorescent nutrient liquid, when falling into the soil, helps maintain nutrient balance, ensuring the growth of the Golden Tree.
"Additionally, through experints, the combination of Golden Tree and Drip Vine can reduce the level of abyssal contamination in the soil to a certain extent.
"Further cultivation might yield results in purifying abyssal contamination."\\
Purifying abyssal contamination using the Golden Tree has always been a research direction for the Elf Clan's Forest Elder Serren.
Hearing this, Lu Heng asked, "Has Elder Serren received this news?"
Azik replied, "I've inford Elder Serren right away, but he can't make it over, so he hasn't seen Hope One yet."
Upon hearing this, Lu Heng opened a star gate, inviting Serren to co over.
A month ago, Serren had advanced to a demigod, mastering more potent natural power.
Erging from the star gate, he excitedly observed the Hope One plant, asking many questions.
Finally, Serren and Helr discussed using natural magic to accelerate Hope One's experintal progress to see if the fluorescent characteristics could be maintained through further cultivation.
Serren also wanted to see if the combination of the Golden Tree and Hope One could aid in purifying abyssal contamination.
So, after discussing, Serren applied natural magic to cultivate one group of Hope One, accelerating its growth.
This process would take so ti, so Lu Heng did not continue to disturb the botanists' research, pulling Azik aside to talk outside.
"What's the matter?" Azik asked proactively.
"I need you to find the main world of the Horned Demon Race's Demon God Moragorong and, if found, conduct a probe. I'm waiting for your news." Lu Heng revealed the other important matter for this visit.
Azik imdiately understood, eyes wide with excitent: "We're going to do sothing big, right?"
Lu Heng nodded in acknowledgnt, "As long as we locate that world and there's no issue after probing, we can proceed with action."
Azik, eager and ready to go, said, "I'll bring the nanorobots from the Xavier Matrix to probe and start deploying the nanomachine factory simultaneously."
Arrangents were set in motion.
Azik imdiately began searching for data, looking for the territory of the Horned Demon Race.
In the existing records of the Star Realm rchant, there was no information on the main world of Moragorong.
However, ancient records did contain ntions of the Horned Demon.
The Star Realm rchant had road for thousands of years, witnessing tens of thousands of worlds.
Upon confirming these worlds weren't suitable for fluorescent plants, the Star Realm rchant would imdiately leave and search for the next world without any lingering attachnt.
Therefore, the worlds explored thousands of years ago were not revisited to update records.
After such a long ti, what had beco of these worlds, and whether a Demon God had erged, was unknown to anyone.
Moragorong, being the Demon God of the Horned Demon Race, implied he likely originated from a world where Horned Demons had once dwelt.
Following the records on the Horned Demons, Azik planned to probe those worlds, hoping to find Moragorong's main world.
