"So... what are you going to do next?"
Feng Yi turned around and looked at Elysis seriously, saying, "I want to prove something to the Titan Elves in my own way: humans do not fear war and will not be easily defeated."
"How will you prove that?"
"It's quite simple. You already know my ability. If I say that I can use this ability to assassinate numerous Titan Elf lords and generals, or directly transport an artificial Black Hole over, could you defend against it? To be honest, there are others besides me who have this ability." Feng Yi fabricated a lie effortlessly. However, coincidentally, since he had that ability, the Titan Elves would also consider whether humans possessed such a special capability.
"I cannot take you back now. Have a good talk with your people, tell them the truth you know—The Black Wing Queen must also be a witness, right? I think a wise race with a civilization of three hundred thousand years is not foolish."
Feng Yi's words were soft yet firm, suggesting peace, but he indeed had a condition that could turn the tables. Not to mention, using this ability to continuously transport several artificial Black Holes over and detonating them would mean the end of this war.
Feng Yi nodded earnestly at Elysis, neither harming her nor making things difficult for her. Sometimes, a seemingly offhand factual statement is far more effective than war and threats.
Even though this woman was not bad, and even had anti-war sentiments, she was ultimately an adversary. You cannot fully trust an enemy, nor can you place your hopes on the mercy of an opponent. People must always hold the initiative in their own hands.
Feng Yi did not make any promises to Elysis. From start to finish, he only wanted her to convey a message and recognize a serious fact: What others can't do, I can do; what you can't imagine, I've even thought it through for you—such as the transportation of the artificial Black Hole.
Of course, Feng Yi wouldn't foolishly disclose everything, including the fact that his remote transmission had limitations and was extremely taxing on his Mental Power.
Strictly speaking, initially, he could only make short-distance jumps. From the star field jumps in the beginning to now being able to traverse long distances, over these years, his continuously strengthened Mental Power far surpassed before. If he really wanted to transport artificial Black Holes, he could only do it two or three times before having to sleep to restore his Mental Power. Once the Titan Elves discovered this secret period of vulnerability, the consequences for humanity would be unimaginable. So, except for Mo Ying and Eggy, very few people knew about it.
To seal this information, Feng Yi even considered whether to leverage this small dinosaur.
With his current strength, he no longer needed to rely on Eggy's intelligent calculations. It was possible to pursue the truth of any matter by observing its regularity in quantity, but this required an essential prerequisite: Mental Power.
Therefore, getting adequate rest was what he should be prioritizing. After making his statements, Feng Yi hurriedly left.
However, Feng Yi did not go far. Strictly speaking, he only teleported several kilometers away. Due to the continuous exertion he had just gone through, his Mental Power was now quite depleted, to the point where he could fall asleep at any moment.
The reason he didn't sleep was partly because he was forcing himself to stay awake and partly because he didn't want to leave any flaws. The reason he teleported so close was simple: he didn't have more Mental Power to teleport very far.
To speak of distance, of course he could teleport further, but when you could easily find a place to sleep nearby, why go out of the way?
After a brief search, Feng Yi found a relatively spacious area three thousand meters underground, where there was still a small amount of air. Although it was somewhat far from the earth's core, there was a live volcano nearby, providing moderate warmth—a perfect spot for a good sleep. Not bad, not bad.
After some time, Feng Yi woke up and realized his Mental Power had fully recovered. While the body can limit the extension of thought, it can also substantially replenish Mental Power in a short time, making it a trade-off.
With a slight mental movement, Feng Yi instantly returned to a small, shabby house.
At this time, Kexiao had woken up, Sky Shadow was outside the door, and inside the room, Allen was playing a game with animated gestures.
Sky Shadow and Kexiao immediately sensed Feng Yi's active presence. This aura was completely consistent with his previous magnetism. Even if Feng Yi wasn't outside the door, they could assert that it was indeed Feng Yi who had come back.
Sky Shadow gave him a cold glance and then paused. Until this moment, he still found it hard to comprehend the fact of Feng Yi's inexplicable revival. It was certain that the Feng Yi from a few years ago was truly dead, especially recalling the conversation he last had with Feng Yi.
He decided to temporarily put aside his doubts. "You're back."
"Yes," Feng Yi nodded, "How are your injuries?"
"Still manageable. More importantly, what about the situation on the peripheral planets?"
"There's not much to report. Everything went quite smoothly."
"Hey, tell me clearly, what do you mean by 'not much to report and everything went quite smoothly'!"
"To put it briefly, the crisis on the peripheral planets has been temporarily resolved. Here's what happened..."
Feng Yi briefly summarized the events to Sky Shadow.
During this period, Sky Shadow's eyebrows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed. At the end of Feng Yi's recount, Sky Shadow suddenly smiled, "Well, so that's how it is. Now is a great opportunity; we have every condition to turn the tables. If it's you, it should be doable, right?"
"It's possible, but I don't advocate for it."
"You don't advocate for it..." Sky Shadow was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
Feng Yi said, "They are a drifting population. The fleet size is overwhelmingly large, approximately hundreds of times that of humans. Therefore... I don't recommend continuing the war. Even using my special ability, it's just a drop in the ocean for such a massive fleet, not to mention the mental vulnerability period. Once the Titan Elves spread out their forces or figure out the intervals of my movement gaps, humanity will have little hope—also, I've already demonstrated my corresponding ability to a queen."
"Stupid! Idiot! Why did you fully reveal your ability?"
"Heh, don't be hasty. Perhaps it's because I don't endorse war. Sharing this information with them might not be a bad thing. To some extent, it acts as a deterrent."
"Your words aren't entirely unreasonable, but they are an alien race, one that seeks to enslave humanity and could turn hostile at any moment. Moreover, they are a much more advanced third-tier civilization; the temporary peace we gain can't last. Feng Yi, how could a person like you do such a foolish thing!" Sky Shadow nearly roared his rebuttal.
"Everything you said I have considered," Feng Yi shrugged off Sky Shadow's words, "but it's precisely because human technology is lagging that we need to accept and absorb more knowledge—broaden our horizons. Imitation is a human nature, and technology is no exception. Their technology can also be ours. This time cycle won't be long. We've always been confined to subjective understanding. Whether in terms of technology or ethics, we often lack a lateral observation of events themselves. The multinational coalition of several hundred years ago is the best reflection—when those people wantonly burned, killed, and looted us, we realized there was such a weapon as a musket in the world. When those in power fled, we came to understand that those despicable bastards weren't invading us after all. They just wanted to teach you a lesson, like taking advantage of a whore, and then leaving, showing that they were stronger than you—every matter has two sides. I hope you understand my intention."
Sky Shadow fell silent, neither opposing nor acknowledging Feng Yi's sentiment.
The sound of footsteps with a rhythmic cadence echoed at their ears as Kexiao stepped outside. He looked at Feng Yi, with an unusual emotion between his brows: "I thought it was over that time, but it was probably you again, Feng Yi."
"Help me with a small favor; hopefully, you'll be grateful rather than challenging me to a duel."
