This explanation really sounded like the truth. Seeing that Gaia seemed to be persuaded, the Yabo people couldn't help but get excited.
"As you can see, the people on Earth have no love for their home planet. Because of their existence, the rate of extinction of life on Earth is a thousand times higher than before, far exceeding the rate of birth of new species. Seeing this, we Yabo people are extremely heartbroken."
"In addition to dimensional technology, we are also good at genetic technology. Because of this, we understand how precious the original life forms that have not been polluted by genetic modification are. Those extinct lives are not only an important part of the earth's food chain, but the natural development direction of each life represents infinite possibilities."
"As long as humans are willing to lay down their weapons, we Yabo people promise to protect all life on Earth, including humans. Let the entire ecosystem develop naturally without interference. Humans are still using backward chemical energy such as oil, coal, and natural gas. In the next few decades, it is foreseeable how much pollution will be caused to the earth. We Yabo people have long mastered the potential energy of space tides. This is the foundation of our dimensional technology. This is truly pollution-free perpetual energy. Pollution-free, clean, and inexhaustible energy."
The Yabo people spoke the truth without any falsehood, and they were sure that Gaia would make the right choice.
So they didn't do anything to Nadeshiko, they just set hints in her memory, and it was enough to make sure that the words were fully conveyed. After this communication was over, no matter what the result was, the hint would be lifted.
"Is there anything else besides these?" After listening to the long speech, Ling did not express her opinion but asked this question.
Gaia's attitude made the Yabo people a little confused, so they could only continue speaking:
"In addition, as you can see, this girl named Amamiya Nadeshiko, we only need a strand of her hair to completely revive her. We can do the same with all the life forms that have become extinct in the history of the Earth. For example, for the dinosaurs that became extinct more than 20 million years ago, we only need to use fossils. Even if there are no living cells in them, and even the components of the bones themselves have been replaced by minerals in the rocks, we can still analyze the genes and revive them. The same applies to any extinct creatures on Earth. We can find them back from the relics of the long river of time."
"It sounds very attractive, but there is one thing you need to understand."
"Please instruct me."
The Yabo people made a big show of it, but Ling didn't care.
"A civilization trapped in a vicious cycle of aggression has no future."
"what?"
The Yabo people considered that Gaia might refuse, perhaps because of her preference for humans or her hostility towards aliens, but they never thought of this reason. No future? The Yabo people from another dimension have no future?
"When you are stronger than your opponent, occupation, plunder, and invasion are indeed the easiest ways to gain benefits. But because of this, civilizations often end up destroying themselves. The Yabo people claim to be much stronger than humans. I heard that you once claimed that you could occupy the earth in just one day. But now more than half a year has passed, and you still can't gain a foothold here, right?"
"That's because of those annoying Ultra Warriors. If it weren't for them, humans would have surrendered to us long ago with just the TAC team!"
"Maybe. But why would the Ultra Warriors protect the Earth? If the Earth was the planet of the Yabo people, would the Ultra Warriors still help when it encountered an alien invasion?"
The Yabo people were speechless for a moment. Of course not. It was the best result that the Kingdom of Light did not come to wipe them out personally. How could they possibly come to protect them?
"Compared to humans, the technology of the Yabo people is indeed stronger, but that's all. Because when you are strong, you will always encounter stronger ones. After becoming an invader, you naturally cannot get the friendship of others. If facing the Gua Empire and the legion of Anperla, humans can get the support of the light camp who share the same hatred and enemies, then what about you? Or do you have the confidence to resist the threats of these dark empires alone?"
This is of course impossible, not to mention the dark empires such as Gua or Ampera that stand at the top of the galaxy. Even the next-level ones, such as the Bat people who cultivated the cosmic dinosaur Jetton, the Pedan people who built the King Bridge, etc., the hard power of these civilizations is not inferior to that of the Yabo people.
If a secondary dark civilization targets the earth, the Yabo people will still put up a little resistance, but if a top-level dark civilization attacks, the Yabo people will definitely surrender and run away.
“That’s why I won’t choose the Yabo people.”
A righteous nation will have many supporters, while an unrighteous nation will have few. This is a simple saying, but it is true. Once you get used to invading others, you will be defined as a dark civilization. There are many dark civilizations in the universe, but they have never been able to unite. They are always isolated, and the relationship between each other is one of plunder and being plundered.
Even the Rebrando people, who once unified most of the galaxy, were able to force those dark civilizations to surrender only through violence and high pressure. Once problems arose with Rebrando itself, the entire empire would have fallen apart.
Nadeshiko was silent for a moment, and finally said, "So the negotiations broke down?"
Ling also subconsciously placed her hand on the hairpin, which was where her Gaia light was stored.
But surprisingly, the Yabo people did not take any extreme actions because of this.
'Nadeshiko' sighed deeply, "I'm very sorry, but thank you for taking up your precious time to listen to the voices of us Yawa people."
"Aren't you angry?"
"Angry? Of course not. It's natural that we can't gain trust when we first meet. We are grateful that you can listen to our Yawa clan's demands so patiently and calmly." The words of 'Nadeko' seemed to be natural and sincere.
"We will let you continue to see the true face of human beings and see their hypocritical and cowardly nature. I believe you will make the right judgment at that time. In order to prevent irreversible damage to the spirit of this human being, we will take our leave today. Sorry for disturbing you. Thank you Saint Anne."
After saying this, Nadeshiko's mechanical expression faded away. The virtual personality she was hosting had completed its "mission" and the psychological suggestion was completely lifted.
Chapter 68: Soul Sea
Nadeshiko fell asleep on the sofa.
Ling also walked up to her and stretched out her hand.
If there were other people present at this moment, they would see golden light gathering towards Nadeshiko, and the sofa and the entire study would be filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
In her dream, Nadeshiko felt as if she was in a vast ocean. Throwing aside all her disguises and shame, everything about her was revealed without reservation. But she did not feel uncomfortable, but rather felt at ease.
This is the Soul Sea. Following the previous dream, Ling also unknowingly mastered the ability.
In fact, if we follow the conspiracy theories in some novels that Lingye had read in her previous life, we can suspect that the higher-ups gradually replaced her existence and resurrected her by some means, because such god-like means are really not something that humans should be able to master.
Although Gaia has the appearance and characteristics of an Ultraman, she is obviously different. She is also different from the human bodies of Ultramen such as Beidou and Nan.
But Ling didn't care.
Because she had died a long time ago, it was Gaia who gave her a choice, a choice that she was not too obsessed with at the time.
If she died, she died. It didn't matter if she lived again. In the final analysis, what made her choose to accept Gaia's light was not the desire to survive, but the fact that Gaia said "someone needs her".
Being needed by others was something she had never experienced before. So no matter what the result was, she wanted to give it a try.
The stream of light flowed slowly over Nadeshiko's body.
In order to make sure that there was no problem with Nadeshiko herself, Ling also used this newly acquired ability to carefully check and confirmed that the Yawa people's back-up plan was indeed lifted.
Although she did not understand the Yabo people's advanced biotechnology, when it came to the soul realm, that was entirely Gaia's domain, and her control was at the god level.
Especially the souls of earthlings, to her, it is like reading the lines on the palm of your hand - yes, although Nadeshiko's soul is definitely not the original one, the soul that returned seven years ago has long been integrated into Gaia and reincarnated into all things. But the body born from the clone, even if the memory is instilled by aliens, the soul also comes from Gaia.
Lingye couldn't explain the principle, but she was sure that it was a new soul with Nadeshiko's body and memories, and it had not been tampered with.
As they said, the Yabo people only gave "Nadeshiko" psychological hints, temporarily acting as their "spokesperson" for communication, and did not have any deeper hidden tricks - or the Yabo people did not have such technology. At least at the soul level, it was a newborn soul that was born less than a week ago, clean and clear like a stream.
The current Nadeshiko is also a living being recognized by Gaia, not an alien or a ghost.
This was undoubtedly good news, because Sakura had obviously identified her as her mother - although from a certain perspective, she was indeed her mother. She was not an alien, and there was no hidden hand of aliens. This was the best result Ling could imagine.
However, Ling was a little concerned about the last few words that Yabo said before he lifted the hint.
[We will continue to let you see the unbearable true face of human beings and see their hypocritical and cowardly nature. ]
Obviously they still wanted to continue to cause trouble on Earth, and she had no good way to deal with it. The Yabo people were like a dog-skin plaster, determined to stick to Earth.
He took his hand back, and the light gradually disappeared in the study, and the sense of mystery faded away. Ling also sat back on the main sofa.
Are the Yabo people strong?
Of course, it was very strong for the Earth, which had not yet reached the standard of a first-level civilization. The Yabo people were a third-level civilization that had mastered the technology of interstellar shuttle. Considering their strength in dimensional technology, they could even be considered half a fourth-level civilization. Each level difference between civilizations meant tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of technological accumulation, which was a natural barrier. So the Yabo people's boast that they would occupy the Earth within a day was not groundless.
It is not challenging for an army driving airplanes, tanks and aircraft carriers to conquer a primitive tribe. The civilization gap between the Yabo people and the earthlings is even more obvious than this.
But compared to the Kingdom of Light, which has been able to break dimensions at will and has long been a fifth-level civilization, and even has the sixth-level civilization creation "Ultra Spark Tower", the Yabo people are not even a little bit behind. It is no different from the gap between Somali pirates and the Wuchang Navy.
They are not even as good as the people of Bert who dared to attack the Kingdom of Light more than a year ago.
However, considering that they can freely travel through the dimensional sea and have first-rate escape techniques, they are like flies that cause trouble all day long and cannot be easily caught by the Kingdom of Light.
The Ultra Star is said to have more than 180 billion Ultra Warriors, but the known universe is almost endless. Billions of parallel universes are spread out with the Kingdom of Light as the center, and all of them need Ultra Warriors to be stationed. Therefore, the only Ultra Guards with Ultra Father as the captain can be placed in the current universe. There are six or seven big cats and small cats.
The war with the Balts had just ended, and the First Generation and Seven had other clues to investigate. They were traveling all over the universe, so the Kingdom of Light did not have much spare energy to encircle and suppress the Yabo people. Only Ace could be dispatched. Unless they were summoned with the Ultra Signature under special circumstances, the Ultra Brothers had their own tasks.
Ling also pushed open the door of the study and walked out, and saw Maria waiting in the corridor beside the door.
"Sister Nadeshiko fell asleep. She hasn't had a good rest for three days. Let her lie down in the study for a while."
"I understand." Maria didn't ask any more questions. She was the head maid of the Oshima family, and Reiya's words were her will, so there would be no doubt about it.
"Dinner is ready. Are you ready to eat, young lady?"
Although they had just had a French meal at noon, Chef Shigong’s main dish was vegetables, which were digested quickly, and now Ling was a little hungry again. She casually asked what was for dinner.
"It's the steak that Chef Caibo prepared."
That's really exciting.
The tender Wagyu beef, under the magical cooking art of Chef Cai Bo, is the best reward for your taste buds.
On the other hand, Yoshimura took a train from Tokyo all the way to Okayama.
When he got off the train, he could still hear the chatter. Of course, he was traveling alone, but he met a familiar guy on the train. He snatched his lunch box and forced popcorn on him. Not to mention these, he was still holding Yoshimura's hand until he got off the train and left the train station.
"Let me give you a ride. Look, that's my car, right by the road!"
Yoshimura looked in the direction the man pointed. It was a red sedan with the word "Okayama" spray-painted on the body and advertisements. It looked like a taxi, but there was no taxi logo.
In short, it was probably a "black car". It was rare in Tokyo because Tokyo had very strict inspections. But in Yoshimura's memory, there were indeed quite a few in his hometown of Okayama.
However, Yoshimura is a TAC member, not a traffic policeman. Moreover, in this remote area, there has never been a traffic police inspection on private car operations in the past, and I think there should be no such inspection now.
"Forget it, I'll just take the long-distance bus."
"Hey, don't be so polite, I'm going to get angry! Don't worry, I won't take your money, I don't plan to do business with you."
"No business?"
The man chuckled a few times, "I just went to Tokyo, and I realized that you can never make enough money. So I want to travel around for a while and put aside all the unhappy things. By the way, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Kibitsu."
"Kibitsu? What's fun in that remote place?"
"I'm going home, not going out to play. Besides, Kibitsu has many attractions. It's Momotaro's hometown, and there are various shrines. Oh, and there's an olive orchard where you can buy some local specialties."
"Momotaro? That sounds interesting. Well, I'll go to Kibitsu too." The man decided, "How about this? I'll provide the car and you'll be the tour guide. How about this idea?"
"Ah? Then you're at a disadvantage?"
Although they are both in Okayama, Kibitsu is not close to here, and it is mostly mountain roads, taking several hours to drive. Driving requires manpower and gas money. And all you have to do is speak.
"It seems so. Well, aren't you staying in Kibitsu? When we get there, you can let me stay at your house for a night and give me a bowl of rice. This will also save me a night's hotel bill."
It must be said that Yoshimura was somewhat fond of this free-spirited man. Just like what he had read in a book, he could easily decide on a trip whenever he wanted. Such a person was really enviable.
"Well, maybe you'll fall in love with Kibitsu."
"I think so. Then please get in. This is the Discovery." The man opened the passenger door and motioned for Yoshimura to get in.
"Discoverer?"
"Yes, I discovered beautiful scenery that I had never seen before. So from today on, my car is called Discoverer!"
The car started, and the red "Discoverer" carried the two people all the way to the distance. However, after getting in the car, Yoshimura realized that after knowing each other for a long time, he didn't even know the other person's name, and the other person was the same.
It’s really interesting that strangers who don’t even know each other’s names are like old friends.
"So, guide, where is our first stop?"
"The closest place should be the Fukuda Sea Shrine, right?" Yoshimura thought for a moment. Since he had promised to be a tour guide, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of a tour guide. Anyway, it was still early, so he was not in a hurry.
"The one that offers the nose ring?"
