Claire's words truly left Lin Yuan in shock, as the complexity of the situation could easily fill a grand chronicle with a legendary tale. He never expected that Claire's true identity, Snow Wind's true identity, and Clair Star's true identity would be so astonishing! Even more bizarre was that Snow Wind was actually another aspect of the terrifying Fallen Emissary. His luck was indeed extraordinary; if it had been the other persona of Snow Wind, the Fallen Emissary, he probably wouldn't have had any chance to escape!
"What happened next? Did you encounter any danger?"
Lin Yuan found himself immersed in this long story, concerned about Claire's safety.
"Thank you, sir. You're so kind!" Claire smiled sweetly, clearly appreciating Lin Yuan's concern. After pondering for a moment, she continued, "Back then, I was very scared and fled all the way to the Solar System, where I entered a dormant state on Mars. At that time, humanity on Mars was experiencing a technological boom; they could even migrate to Earth. However, they couldn't escape the fate of being enslaved. Although Mechanical City had fallen into the hands of the Rebels, the nature of slavery remained unchanged. SSS-Level Arbiter Qingshu continued to enforce the old regime, and Martians were largely relocated to Mechanical City as third- and fourth-class citizens. Only a few Martians managed to escape, but most eventually perished. At that time, Mars resembled what Earth looked like a hundred years ago—devoid of life, except for the bio-mechanical Mechanical Beasts hunting down Martians."
"It was during that time that I awakened on Mars, but it had already been tens of millions of years; everything had changed. I could no longer feel the blood ties I once had—only deep-seated hatred and ugliness remained. To evade the pursuit of the Fallen Emissary, I possessed a weak Martian who was on the brink of death and helped him and twelve remaining Martians create simple flying devices. We left Mars for Earth. Initially, I thought there were still migrating Martians on Earth; however, it became clear that they had all been captured by Mechanical City. Only traces of their existence remained on Earth, gradually fading with time. At that moment, I realized that if I helped these Martians rebuild their homeland, it would inevitably attract Mechanical City's attention. So, I left only a small Soul Mark in Earth's ionosphere before entering another dormant state because I didn't know what I should do."
"Thus, I silently observed your human growth—from ignorance to barbarism, from savagery to civilization. Countless joys and sorrows unfolded before me; nations and remarkable figures streaked across like meteors. Millions of years passed, and my greatest fear came true: humanity's technological level advanced rapidly and was soon catching up to that of the Martians. At that point, I couldn't bear it any longer; I couldn't stand by as another intelligent life form fell into slavery. So I decided to take action and chose to become the daughter of the chief scientist of the Earth Federation—me, Claire. I attempted to warn and appeal to the Earth Federation in this way. However, my actions led to unimaginable calamity. Despite my caution, I was discovered by Snow Wind—the second persona of the Fallen Emissary. Although she lacked the immense power of the Fallen Emissary herself, she controlled Claire's sister while Star controlled Claire's younger sister. Thus, we three sisters became well-known stars in human society because we excelled in every field."
"I truly had no other choice at that time; I didn't want to harm them since they were once part of me. Yet their actions led Earth Humans into an endless abyss as Mechanical City's sub-bases began appearing. Earth Humans started dreaming of migrating to Mechanical City and yearning for higher forms of consciousness. To prevent this scenario from unfolding, I ultimately fought against them both. Perhaps I was too weak; 90% of my power was seized by Snow Wind and Star. If it weren't for my familiarity with Earth and hiding part of my essence in the ionosphere, I might not have met you today. Afterward, I could only wander endlessly on Earth; I was too weak—so weak that I couldn't leave this planet or even be sensed by Snow Wind or Star anymore. For a time, I thought I'd perish alongside this desolate planet in the universe."
"And just when I felt most desperate and alone, you appeared like a comet—you gave me a vessel for survival! You can't imagine how weak I was back then—weak enough for you to easily erase me! But undoubtedly, I was fortunate; during my time following you, I grew stronger until we left Earth together and wandered through various places until we found an A180 Punisher First Generation Intelligence System on a desolate battlefield. From that moment on, I finally had a chance to develop myself. However, this also alerted Snow Wind and Star that I was still alive. To avoid their pursuit, I could only sleep within your Mechanical Body Intellect."
"This is why Snow Wind and Star tried every means to tempt you—including leading you into Ninth Training Base. By the way, sir—did you ever return to Earth after leaving the Ninth Universe's phantom? Um... about Dr. Bit—the chief scientist of Earth Federation—he and his wife should still be alive along with their three daughters—the ones possessed by me and Snow Wind and Star are also alive now. However, after our confrontation among us three sisters, they returned to normal but with some side effects: their bodies became extremely sensitive and powerful; they quickly grasped various powers perfectly."
"They are quite innocent! If they ever offended you in any way, please don't hold it against them too much! After all, they were merely pawns at the bottom level—slaves! I'm even suspicious that the mastermind behind Rebel Organization is Fallen Emissary herself; although she has become wicked, one thing will never change: her duty is to protect Mechanical City Talin Core—she is destined to reclaim Talin Core as every Mechanical Goddess's mission dictates."
"If she can achieve this goal completely, she will become whole again and transform into the next generation's dark guardian order—the Sea of Stars! At that point, either Snow Wind or Star along with my missing second soul fragment will have to choose between wandering far away or hiding within Subworld or responding to her call to merge with her."
"This is the whole truth! So now you should understand how fortunate it is for both of us to find this Subworld! Let's not go out anymore; let's hide here in this source code world where we can transform back into humans! We can live like humans—I can marry you! We can have many children together! I don't want to wander anymore or fall asleep again—that would be terrifying!"
Listening to Claire's declaration stirred Lin Yuan's heart deeply; indeed—why worry about so much? Whether this world is real or virtual doesn't matter as long as he treats it as real! After all, he originally had nothing and didn't care about losing even more; now having his own world—even if it's just a dream—he wouldn't want to wake up!
But just as Lin Yuan thought this way, he heard alarm bells ringing loudly which jolted him out of his unrealistic fantasies. Exiting his thoughts revealed Base Steward A from Peace Council flying around chaotically while many base members rushed past quickly—it seemed something serious had happened.
Without needing to ask further questions, A transmitted information: their Peace Council Base was under attack! The fourth major force within Exiled World—the Vengeance Alliance composed of exiled prisoners—was launching a furious assault on Peace Council Base.
Most members within Vengeance Alliance were formidable life forms such as High-Level Insectoids, Kugite Shipmen, Dark Death Demons, Golden Eagles etc., who inherently harbored hatred towards Mechanical Life forms—they cared nothing for rules whatsoever! Moreover due to being different types of life forms themselves—they were unaffected by Ancient Protozoan Virus—which made them exceptionally powerful as they attacked periodically without fail—a real headache indeed!
However, all Lin Yuan could do was understand what had actually happened. As for wanting to help, that was simply impossible. Even Base Steward A had no time to pay attention to him. It was like a group of elephants fighting, and an ant not only couldn't help but didn't even have the right to cheer them on, all while trying not to get crushed.
Is this world truly a safe and happy home?
To know that Claire's happiness was built upon such a peaceful and stable Subworld. Given the current situation, the Peace Council, Alliance Council, and Mechanical Independence Council were still relatively rational. However, the Vengeance Alliance was insane; if they caused this Subworld to collapse, then their happiness would be built on a melting ice block!
No! Absolutely not! I must fight for Eilai's happiness!
In that moment, Lin Yuan decisively made his decision. (To be continued...)
