Chapter 565: 192. Yawen’s Determination_2

"...What does this mean?"

Yawen clenched the bag in her hand, her voice heavy:

"Are you saying this planet is going to be destroyed?"

"Yes." Vellia nodded: "The {Mechanical World Society} of Mashigang is nearby, and it will soon be summoned to devour this planet."

"This... this is too sudden, I don’t believe it. You’re joking, right?"

Yawen forced a smile, pulling at the corners of her mouth.

"You must be joking, right, Miss Vellia?"

However, Vellia’s eyes were very serious and solemn.

Yawen gradually stopped smiling. She glanced at the other party anxiously and quietly asked:

"Really?"

"Miss Yawen."

Vellia replied:

"Do you remember what I said when we first met at the temple in the Newbie Village?"

Yawen’s head buzzed, as those scenes flooded back like a tide.

...

"I think you need to understand one thing, my dear fool."

"You are now a {Society} citizen; you are no longer yourself. You will only find the meaning of living within the {Society}."

"Fool, {Society} citizens do not have independent will. You and the Starry Abyss natives, who you think are your little boyfriends, are not even the same species."

"You look pretty, and you are very capable, but you don’t live for men, you live for yourself. Yawen, I hope you realize that neither {Society} nor the Starry Abyss are good things. Their battle has left countless families broken and desolate."

"{Secret Society} will use senators to enable their descent, swallowing civilizations, while the Starry Abyss wants to use your life to fill an endless battlefront."

"Do not love them, do not love grand narratives, love yourself."

"I am here to invite you."

"This planet has already been infiltrated by {Society} citizens. The narrative-level civilizations are constantly observing the situation here. Sooner or later, you will be discovered."

"If Gaia’s people find you, they will incorporate your will into Ether, and in such an environment, you will not be able to resist and will immediately succumb to {Society}."

"If narrative-level civilizations find you, they will dismantle you without hesitation, destroy you, and use you to create weapons and equipment."

"Even your crush Li Aozi, once he knows that you are a secret citizen, he will unsheathe his sword without hesitation."

"I am here to protect you, to protect people like you who do not want to submit to the secret, and who are rejected by civilizations on the side of the Starry Abyss."

...

"I remember."

Yawen’s eyes were complex.

"You said those things a long time ago, four months ago."

"Let’s say, you are quite fortunate." Vellia nodded: "It is only the {Mechanical World Society} arriving, not the {Secret Society}, so you can still keep your independent will for now."

She looked at the other party and extended her hand:

"Join us, Miss Yawen. I have gathered many {Society} resistance fighters like you, who do not want to be devoured by {Society} and cannot integrate into the Starry Abyss. They are all with me."

However, Yawen did not immediately change her attitude. She calmly looked at Vellia and asked:

"Miss Vellia, even if you said these things in advance, what evidence do you have to prove it?"

Yawen’s tone was steady, and her angle was quite sharp:

"You are just a mortal, neither a {Society} citizen nor an ascender on the Starry Abyss Path. If you can observe the movements of the {Mechanical World Society}, then I ask - how do you, a mere mortal, know about it when even the Kappa Rank strong ones from Baizhu Star do not?"

"It’s not difficult. When you get there, you will naturally know."

"But I want to know now."

Yawen said:

"I, along with Mr. Li Aozi, also came from the Azure Star. No matter what, we are compatriots and comrades. I do not want to leave just like that."

"—It looks like you seem to have figured something out. Well, if that’s the case, I’ll be honest."

Vellia was very calm:

"After defeating the {God of Reality} Leoz and annihilating Mophideria’s cosmos, {Society}s surged into the Starry Abyss from Beyond the Abyss, encountering fierce resistance from narrative-level civilizations. The Starry Abyss, vast as it is, is not the lamb to be slaughtered or the land flowing with milk and honey that {Society}s had imagined. It has advanced technology and terrifying violence from narrative-level civilizations."

"This phenomenon also seemed to surprise Gaia of the {Secret Society}. It began planning new conspiracies and strategies. However, not all society citizens were happy with its hidden intentions. Those sent out to plunder without the leadership of the mother body began to have different ideas."

"Today’s {Secret Society} is not monolithic. Concerning the strategy for conquering the Starry Abyss, the three speakers of the secret have different opinions and have all left to develop their own factions."

"The traditional faction is led by the {Sovereign Speaker}, who upholds the original doctrines of the secret and insists on summoning thirteen senators, saying that the {Secret Society} body, Gaia, should appear to preside over justice."

"The undecided middle faction—the {Greedy Speaker} is missing. But some speculate she has a long-term plan."

"Finally, the reformist faction. The {Wisdom Chairman} believes that for the complex situation of the Starry Abyss, a different approach should be taken. The old strategy of invasion-infiltration-summoning senators-mother body descent-civilization devouring should be changed, and he is also skeptical of the {Sovereign Speaker}’s excessive power, accusing him of enriching himself under the guise of summoning the mother body."
