Chapter 316: Chapter 316: A New Spectacle in the Backyard

Erin and Hu Li rarely saw Yu Sheng get angry. In their impression, Yu Sheng was always cheerful—enjoy when you can, and if you can’t, wait a bit and enjoy later. Even when he fell into the Exotic Realm, surrounded and beaten by all kinds of non-human entities, or after gnawing at each other with a Hunger Entity, he would come back with a smile.

This was a guy who could vanish in a puff while joking around. Erin even suspected that Yu Sheng’s whole life was made up of fun.

But now, everyone here discovered that Yu Sheng could also get angry.

A soft and warm touch came from his hand. Yu Sheng looked down and saw a furry big tail brushing against his wrist.

"Savior," Hu Li wrapped her tail around Yu Sheng’s hand, gently shaking it, "Next time, let me go fight them with you."

Yu Sheng didn’t say anything, just withdrew his hand and gently rubbed the fur behind the demon fox girl’s ear.

"So now... what’s the situation with this Type C clasp?" Erin turned her head, looking rather complicatedly at the dark iron coffin, "You’ve already heard her ’Resonance of the Dead,’ which means she’s already dead, right? But you put her in this ’Holy Coffin’ that can be used to repair an Artificial Saintess. Do you think there’s still hope for her?"

"I’m not sure," Yu Sheng slowly shook his head, "I indeed experienced a ’Dead Communication’ with her, but it was different from any previous kind of Dead Communication I’ve had... What I saw wasn’t a posthumous message but past memories. If we take ’death’ as the dividing line, these are two completely opposite rivers, and the ’life form’ of an Artificial Saintess is also very unique, making it difficult for me to judge her state at that time with a simple ’life or death’ criterion."

At this point, he paused for a moment and also looked up at the iron coffin.

"So I put her in here—I’m not sure if it will work, but I adjusted the repair process in the way that awakens life by Spirit Injection into a Puppet, and then restarted this device. The repair process is still underway, and I can feel it’s operating inside. The Holy Coffin system hasn’t reported an error due to the Saintess’s complete death, but she indeed hasn’t woken up.

"Maybe we still need to wait a while, or maybe we’ll keep waiting like this—who knows? Anyway, we’ll do our best."

"...It seems like you care quite a bit." Erin couldn’t help commenting.

"In the last second, she reached out to me," Yu Sheng said very seriously, "Even though I couldn’t hear what she was saying at that moment, I could feel that she didn’t want to die—she still had many things she wanted to accomplish. She wanted to go home, take revenge, and live... If she had decided to die upon learning the truth, then I wouldn’t have gone through the trouble, but since she reached out to me, I might as well give her a hand."

Erin lowered her head, seeming to be seriously contemplating something, before finally looking up with a happy smile: "Alright then, after all, you helped me the same way back then."

Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows: "I thought you’d have a lot of objections."

"I haven’t finished my fight with her! Once she comes out, I’ll fight her," Erin puffed up chest, looking proud, "Don’t laugh at me—it’s gonna be a fierce fight!"

Yu Sheng raised his hand to ruffle Erin’s hair, then his gaze fell on Xuan Che, who hadn’t spoken the entire time.

The other person had been tense ever since, although silent, the floor beneath his feet was already layered with ice, clearly showing he wasn’t calm.

Noticing the gaze upon him, Xuan Che broke the silence before Yu Sheng could speak: "I will report this incident to the sect. From what I know of my master, he will definitely convey this to the Venerate Lords of the various factions of the Taixu Spirit Hub. Using living beings as sacrificial material has always been a severe taboo in our Taixu Spirit Hub, let alone on this scale, treating people like wheat to be harvested and refined into instruments!"

He took a deep breath, calming a bit before continuing: "In fact, all along, organizations like the Venerate Saints Monastery and the Angel Sect, those Evil Demons, have been targets for intense suppression under the governance of the Taixu Spirit Hub. As soon as they infiltrate, they resort to harming the people, desecrating the mountains and forests, and engaging in acts of theft and destruction. Rightful forces eradicate them on sight, so this clue simply adds another crime to their extermination orders.

"I just didn’t expect that they could be this insane...

"The places allowing them such reckless behavior must be deep in their own controlled Star Region. To put it that way, these are originally their own subjects, aren’t they?"

"If, at the start, they didn’t regard those people as human, then what psychological burden could they have?" Yu Sheng seemed to understand well, "I’ve seen a lot on this ship and heard many of their conversations. This so-called ’Venerate Saints Monastery’ reached a crazed level in the ’alienation’ of people, and they even reassemble themselves into various inhuman forms. The internal members of the monastery are all categorized into different levels based on so-called ’defects’—it can be said that, except for the core concept of ’Path of Venerate Saint’ being supreme, there isn’t a single member in the entire Venerate Saints Monastery who possesses complete dignity and value like a ’human’."

Xuan Che thought for a moment, then could only smile wryly: "That’s true, you can’t use ordinary logic to predict the thoughts of evil demons. If they were rational, they wouldn’t have taken the Demon Path—it’s me who’s overthinking it."

After confirming that the Holy Coffin was still in "normal operation", Yu Sheng and his group left the special cabin.

They took the elevator to the living quarters inside the Tower—a large complex of rooms spreading across three entire levels, including residential areas, medical quarters, and an "eco-chamber" with a small ecosystem.

In the eco-chamber, greenery thrived, with various plants flourishing in their designated zones under the strict control of automatic systems. They were genetically engineered to appear "perfect." In the medical quarters, apart from basic treatment equipment, there were many disturbing items—cultivation-phase spare human limbs, organs, flesh samples preserved in jars, and "discarded biomass" that hadn’t been dealt with.

In the residential area, they found many "personal items" left by members of the Monastery, including some trivial notes, prayer books with markings, and various miscellaneous items resembling those used by ordinary people.

Of course, there were also plenty of items that didn’t look like "local products," such as personal information devices clearly exceeding Boundary City’s technological level, foreign-labeled food, tools, and packages of unknown purpose, all apparently brought in by those Monastery members from the "outside."

Sorting through these items to extract useful information was obviously a complex and time-consuming task, and Yu Sheng knew his own limitations in this regard.

"I’ll need to ’borrow’ a large crew from the Special Service Bureau when we get back," Yu Sheng said casually while walking down a corridor near the core area. "There are traces of the Monastery members’ activities all over this Tower. Any detail could reveal crucial intelligence, like the coordinates of a secret Star Port where this Tower once docked. Also, I’d need to get some engineering personnel from Baili Qing to help repair the outer armor band and the energy lines for the Phase Engine, and some system decryption experts to see if they can dig any information out of the navigation mainframe. This thing is beyond me..."

The Hunter, who had remained silent until now, couldn’t help but speak up: "Why don’t you just drive this spaceship into the headquarters of the Special Service Bureau—park it right under the director’s nose, and have her arrange five hundred experts to sleep on the engine cover."

Yu Sheng, seriously considering the feasibility of this suggestion, earnestly asked, "Is there a floor that could fit?"

Hunter: "...?"

Even though the Hunter’s face under that hood was typically hard to discern, Yu Sheng still felt he saw the other’s face turn dark...

He didn’t continue this topic further.

In the end, Yu Sheng led Erin and the others to the topmost control hall of the Tower (also known as the "ship bridge area"), where he showed them the scene where the "Sage" fought passionately as a grandson and fled, concluding the tour of the spaceship.

Of course, they didn’t tour the entire ship.

The scale of the Giant Tower was so astonishing, and the internal structure so complex that if one were to thoroughly explore every corridor and room inside, it would probably take two days and nights without coming out. Thus, Yu Sheng only showed them a few main sections directly connected to the Giant Tower’s "Central Channel," skipping many other areas like machinery, storage, maintenance passages. Besides, there were several rooms with either strange, powerful, or dangerous energy reactions that Yu Sheng hadn’t figured out, clearly not suited for a casual visit.

Even so, they spent several hours inside the Tower.

Within a few hours, it was more than enough time for a bunch of very active youngsters to discover new things appearing in the valley and to run from the town to the edge of the Black Forest.

So, when Yu Sheng pushed open the door and came out, the first thing he heard was a cacophony of shouts. Opening his eyes, he saw a large group of kids running around on the docking platform of the spaceship, yelling, climbing everywhere. The long-haired princess was hanging from a protrusion on the ship’s rear armor, attempting to catch the "King," who had climbed over ten meters high. Jack and the Dragon Slayer were seriously discussing what the topmost part of the Tower looked like, the former planning to plant a bean and climb up to take a look, while the latter questioned the effort, suggesting he could transform into a dragon and drop onto the tower tip from above...

But the one who made the most impact was Snow White—when Yu Sheng came out, she was just about to lead her seven Thunderbolt Titans to climb the Tower.

The mermaid was still on the ground providing them with accompaniment, playing a heroic BGM, unaware of why it was so stirring...

Little Red Riding Hood came out of the door, saw the scene, and was so shocked that her blood ran cold. She shouted at the top of her lungs, echoing through the sky: "All of you, get over here!!"
