It is worth mentioning that Xue Dili discovered the location of the Fearless Empire, where 5332 resides, in the neighboring star system of this planet, 87 light-years away!

Their Empire, 5332, is actually not very far from the Ninth Apostle!

This made Xue Dili pause and suddenly realize, could it be that the invasion of Colonization Star 3 by the Insect Race in the Fearless Empire was orchestrated by the Ninth Apostle?

Perhaps the Ninth Apostle only wanted to test the strength of this neighbor before making long-term plans, but didn’t expect the Fearless Empire to be so formidable, decisively crushing a batch of Insect Race Queens that had been borrowed. Feeling that things were a bit tricky and the martial virtue was overly abundant, perhaps opting to rethink the strategy.

Of course, all of this is just speculation by Xue Dili; only the Ninth Apostle knows whether the Insect Emperor on Colonization Star 3 of the Fearless Empire was indeed sent by the Ninth Apostle.

However, in the history of this planet, there is a record of 5332’s Empire, so Xue Dili believes that the destruction of the Fearless Empire’s Colonization Star 3 may truly have been the handiwork of the Ninth Apostle.

And the group of Fearless Mecha soldiers, 5332 among them, are considered to have thwarted the Ninth Apostle’s conspiracy, even trapping the Ninth Apostle permanently within the Super Iron Curtain.

Maybe this is also considered revenge by this group of Fearless Mecha for the tens of billions of compatriots who perished on Colonization Star 3. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Xue Dili thinks that perhaps this information can be conveyed to 5332, so that they can identify the true culprit and seek revenge.

However, for the group of exterminate-bug soldiers of the Fearless Empire, such a form of revenge may not be enough, the blood debt of tens of billions of people seems too cheap for the Ninth Apostle, likely the future generations of Insects will still be held in contempt.

...

Along the way, they arrived at the Land of Judgment, where they indeed found a few people wearing expressions as if they’ve seen a ghost.

"Yo, why the ghostly expression?" Xue Dili looked at Lana, who wore a dumbfounded expression at the time, waving his hand in front of her repeatedly without any response.

Oh, she looks as not-so-smart as Little Dragon Lady, it seems all the dazed kids look the same.

"Oi, are you okay?" Xue Dili continued waving in front of her, even fearing that the aftermath of battle had shocked her silly, preparing to use Cursed Blood to treat her.

After a long time, she seemed to come back to her senses, bowing with a very humble attitude. Her posture and demeanor were even more like a maid than a maid, this demeanor instead made Xue Dili feel uneasy all over.

"Forgive me, my lord, for my past rudeness..." This noble Young Lady from the Count’s Family immediately humbled to a degree that made Xue Dili uncomfortable, estimating that if at this moment Xue Dili wanted to sit on the volcanic ash-covered ground, she might directly prostrate on the ground, using herself like a bench.

Sigh, lacking interest, not as good as those dazed kids who drool even after being cured.

Xue Dili still preferred that proud yet courteous elegant noble lady, at least teasing felt like teasing Fafnir.

"Let’s go back." Xue Dili immediately said.

This noble family’s young lady followed very cautiously behind, always lagging a body length behind Xue Dili, clearly positioning herself as a maid, and Xue Dili just let her, just like how some people on certain planets would kneel as soon as they see him glow...

Although he greatly disliked this attitude, he couldn’t really stop it, let it be as it is.

However, the female pirate beside him maintained the same attitude as before, giving him a hard elbow on the other side and asked, "Are you really an alien?"

"Genuinely so." Xue Dili said, then thought for a moment and started spouting nonsense, "Coming from the neighboring M78 Nebula, known as the Apostle Slayer in the Cosmos."

"But why do aliens look so much like us?" The female pirate even wanted to touch Xue Dili’s face but quickly dodged by a swift swerve from him.

"Quit it, as for why I look like you, if you were to travel in the Cosmos, you’d find that most species look alike, even those that don’t mostly have a human avatar form, as for the reason why, just consider it as all intelligent life in the Cosmos growing towards the likeness of ’God’." Xue Dili explained.

This principle of convergent evolution he doesn’t really understand, like how the ancestors of people in this world were deep-sea invertebrates, only gradually coming ashore after developing into Squid People in the ocean, Xue Dili’s ancestors transitioned from fish to an amphibious salamander-like creature before evolving into a scattered rodent and progressing all the way.

The direction and pace of evolution were entirely different, yet in the end, the form of intelligent life became invariably alike, only judging from the previous examination of Lana’s body with Cursed Blood by Xue Dili, people of this world had skeletons primarily made of cartilage, leading to a structure that lacks hardness but excels in flexibility and softness several levels above that of Earth People.

In terms of temporary flexibility and the Q-elasticity of the entire body, it far surpasses that of Earth People.

This could also be due to different ancestors leading to different foundational body structures.

At that time, he even thought about whether people of this world had ancestors akin to some cartilage animals, like sharks, never expecting them to have evolved from invertebrates.

"Wait, aren’t you ’God’?" the female pirate asked.

Xue Dili looked at her with a scornful expression, making the pirate sister’s back respond with tingling unease: "Did I say something wrong?"
