Chapter 1513 The New Order
The Crystal City Council has no intention of turning back to settle scores with the Silvermoon people.
As nobles who value their status, they wouldn't do something as contradictory as changing their minds frequently.
Furthermore, Crystal City does indeed need the energy supply from Silvermoon City.
The result of annihilation is far less than maintaining the status quo, keeping the Silvermoon people in a state of constant fear, and being spurred on by the Graystone people to actively seek recognition.
Anniemo's chaos ultimately resulted in a severe blow to his strength.
In the current context of a shift in energy models, maintaining stability is the key.
The common people must not know that Beast God Mountain is devoid of divine beasts. Instead, even greater beast soul energy must be released, allowing the Beast God faith to once again envelop the Annie Demons. Let all Annie Demons be bathed in the power of the "Beast God"...
The pipeline network in Silvermoon City was repaired immediately, and power supply to Crystal City was restored.
A surge of energy entered Bonnie's body through the conduit.
She trembled in agony, screaming silently, emitting a blinding light, but she couldn't stop the energy from rushing through her body, transforming into another kind of enormous energy that she longed for but couldn't retain, only to be drawn away again.
She possessed the powerful energy she had always dreamed of, yet not a single bit of it belonged to her.
She resides in the heavens, a place comparable to the gods, but in a way completely different from what one might imagine.
She thought of those who had once trusted her, only to be betrayed by her own hands.
Do they also suffer like this when they are not in control of their own lives?
She used to laugh and joke easily, treating people as resources.
I only realize now how awful this feeling is...
It turns out that even orcs can't escape the fate of being treated as resources...
Crystal Radiance was filled with an abundance of beast soul energy, more than ever before.
The demand of Crystal City for energy from Silvermoon City has also begun to decrease significantly, and the excess energy is now circulating again in Silvermoon City's energy pipeline network.
Although not as prosperous as before, Silvermoon City, with its drastically reduced population, also has a much lower demand for energy.
The Graystone people, who had just begun to explore Silvermoon, were dazzled by everything they saw, and in the short term, they would not have much need for high-tech energy.
Not to mention the people of the Loess Plateau who know nothing and only know how to follow orders.
Strangely, the once scarce energy has reached a bizarre balance amidst the changes in circumstances and is now operating smoothly and stably.
Adrian was still busy.
Ignored by the emperor, he spent the rest of his time running around the city, except for greeting him morning and night and sending him all sorts of good things.
Valle left the stage, and the vacant position suddenly became incredibly attractive.
Adrian knew he had no chance, but that didn't matter; he could at least get a minor role in the council.
Let's go in first, and then plan things out step by step, slowly...
He was familiar with this method.
With him gone, Lin Fan and the other two were happy to have some peace and quiet.
Ever since witnessing Vallejo's abduction, even Antonio has been hostile towards Adrian. Every time they meet, he gives him the cold shoulder.
Adrian didn't care at all, always coming and going with a smile.
This made Impelio, who occasionally came to visit the millennium-old emperor, seem quite handsome.
Beast soul energy and supernatural abilities share the same origin. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan Bingru absorbed a considerable amount, replenishing her previously depleted initial Foundation Establishment spiritual power to almost full strength.
Lin Fan told Cen Fangyuan everything that had happened in Jingyao City, and soon after, the terminal received a new message.
"The status of humans in Annie has been significantly elevated, and a new special zone will be established under Crystal City to jointly build a prosperous era..." Antonio leaned over and read aloud. "Isn't that right? Is that how it works?"
Lin Fan swiped the screen and quickly finished reading the content, which made no mention of the massacre in the Loess Plateau.
There was no Silvermoon Uprising, no Graystone Migration, and no attack on Crystal City... Everything was just like the written records they had read before coming to Annemo—showy but impractical.
“Annemon’s propaganda is all lies,” she said, not wanting to read any more. “Annemon itself is a lie.”
“If we had come via the normal tourist route, or if the Noah had docked directly for a diplomatic visit, we probably wouldn’t have seen any of this,” Lan Bingru sighed.
"The people of the Loess Plateau seem to be living better lives, but in reality, they are still trapped in a cage. They are telling a false story to deceive everyone."
“But it’s true that the plight of the Loess people has changed,” Lin Fan said. “It’s unrealistic to expect them to achieve everything overnight. The Loess people still have to walk their own path in the future.”
Lan Bingru nodded sullenly.
"So, would you rather see false beauty or real ugliness?" Antonio asked.
“I don’t want any of those.” Lan Bingru shook her head. “I want real beauty, like the Noah. And because of the Noah, I firmly believe that real beauty exists.”
"Are you trying to flatter the captain?" Antonio pointed at Lan Bingru with a smile, then turned to Lin Fan, "Honey, she's scheming."
Lin Fan laughed: "You can do it too."
"Can I really do it?" Antonio's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to slap Lin Fan behind him.
"Ah! Brother An!" Lan Bingru quickly stepped forward to stop him, "That's not how you film it!"
"Ignore him," Lin Fan said calmly, not even raising his eyes, and kicked him. "He's just asking for it, he deserves a beating."
Antonio patted the shoe prints off his body: "Is it my fault? I've been cooped up in this lousy place for ages, what else can I do but find some fun?"
Lan Bingru stuck out her tongue, her fingertips lightly pointing at the thousand-year-old.
The reason they haven't mentioned leaving is because the corpse of the Burning Beast is still with Qian Sui and hasn't been dealt with yet.
Qian Sui had previously said he would bury it in the Earth's core, but for some reason, after coming down from Beast God Mountain, it has been sleeping and hasn't gotten up.
They wondered if it was something about Valerius or Bonnie that was affecting its mood. They didn't dare urge it, and just kept waiting.
But waiting forever isn't a good solution!
Although Adrian's family lived in luxury, the entire planet was unpleasant to be around, and he felt uncomfortable no matter where he went.
So after such a long period of stability, even though people could go out for a walk, no one wants to go out.
Thinking back on everything that happened, there wasn't a single thing that made me happy.
Even if the Loess Plateau is redeveloped and the benefits are improved, the outcome will likely still be the same: being exploited.
The rebirth of loess, like the Burning Beast of Beast God Mountain, is a seemingly beautiful but false fairy tale.
In Animos, value determines status.
The continuation of this mainstream value not only testifies to history, but also illuminates the future...
"Let's go!" Qian Sui opened her eyes at some point.
"Where to?" Antonio asked casually.
"Bury the Burning Beast at the highest place." Qian Sui jumped into Antonio's arms.
"Isn't the burial supposed to be at the Earth's core? How can you bury someone at the highest point?" Antonio quickly propped up his arms so that Chisai could curl up comfortably.
The thousand-year-old's large, yellowish-orange eyes looked at Antonio as if he were a fool: "Are you going to dig all the way down here? Or find a place nearby?"
"What else can we do?" Antonio scratched his head.
Qian Sui rolled her eyes, lowered her head, and ignored him.
"They must have used an array to send it in, right?" Lin Fan guessed. "Given the situation at the Earth's core, who could possibly get close?"
The core of a planet can reach a temperature of about 6 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surface of the sun.
Such high temperatures are so intense that even mechs with high physical resistance like Star and Apollo dare not approach them.
Dig? Who can do that?
Antonio knew he had made a fool of himself, but he just chuckled and strode away, carrying the Thousand-Year-Old.
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
