Su Xing really took an orbital laser weapon hit with his bare body.

In terms of power, this orbital laser weapon even exceeded strategic nuclear weapons, and by a lot. According to A1 and the others, the destruction range of this orbital weapon was 500,000 square kilometers. This destruction range was simply incomparable to any thermonuclear weapon, and it could even be called a smaller-sized planet-killing cannon.

This was a weapon capable of directly changing the surface structure of a planet, and even enough to destroy a small asteroid if it bombarded the same part continuously!

But Su Xing was still full of confidence in his "Pifu" (commoner/man of the people) title.

Beyond five steps, so far, except for those involving the root level or certain must-kill ultimate moves of extremely powerful sublimated beings, he really hadn't seen any other attacks that could break his defense beyond five steps.

As for resisting nuclear bombs with his bare body or blocking planet-killing cannons at point-blank range, it sounded very exaggerated, but as long as it was beyond five steps, he really dared to give it a try.

And now, as Su Xing rushed straight into mid-air, the dazzling light at the zenith became brighter and brighter, even turning into the only light in the sky, illuminating the entire sky and earth in a dim glow.

At this very moment, at the position Su Xing's martial arts intuition had predicted in advance, a laser beam, brilliant and bright far exceeding the sun's intensity, fell straight down. It happened to land on the Heroic Spirit Shattering Blade that Su Xing had already held upright. At the same time, there was a thick layer of pitch-black metallic luster and flickering electric currents condensed on this Heroic Spirit Shattering Blade.

Under this strike, Su Xing not only stirred up all his Qi and blood, but also poured all his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki into the Heroic Spirit Shattering Blade. With one slash to the sky, he clashed head-on with the downward orbital laser beam.

All the androids on the ground, all the intelligent high-rank mechanical lifeforms far away, and all the android units outside the universe were all staring dumbfounded at this scene, which was so exaggerated it was unimaginable.

A human, holding a broken half of a blade, slashed at an orbital laser beam at an altitude of several thousand meters in the sky.

The result in the scientific calculations did not appear. The human holding the broken half of the blade was not evaporated and annihilated in an instant, and the laser beam did not push him straight down to the earth.

Instead, a majestic, incomprehensible, and unimaginable force forcefully held up the impact of the orbital laser beam, pausing it in mid-air. And then, in everyone's incredible gaze, the broken half of the blade actually forcefully split the laser beam from the middle. The black sword light was so conspicuous in this high brightness. This sword light pushed upward bit by bit. At first, the speed was slow, but in the stalemate, the speed of this black sword light became faster and faster. Finally, it soared into the sky, going straight up from the middle of the laser, splitting the laser beam, which was about ten meters thick, into two.

Under the gaze of all existences, and under at least a hundred types of professional monitoring tools, the entire orbital laser cannon was directly split open from the center. The black blade light slashed straight up, breaking through the atmosphere, completely splitting the entire atmosphere. Then, with one horizontal slash, it struck a huge platform in satellite orbit outside the atmosphere. It flashed past, and the blade light slid into the pitch-black universe space, disappearing just like that.

The huge and brilliant laser beam suddenly went quiet. The brilliant light immediately became dim, and at the same time, the laser beam disappeared. Only then did Su Xing turn his back, carrying the broken half of the Heroic Spirit Shattering Blade and walking toward the ground step by step.

Just then, from the zenith behind Su Xing, a more brilliant light flashed past, and the entire world dimmed for it. However, no sound came. The violent light at the zenith only flickered for a moment, and then dimmed again, leaving only a sky full of burning meteor fragments, as dazzling as a cloak unfolded behind Su Xing.

The seven people on the ground were already stunned.

B8 and the beautiful woman with long black hair, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings had flushed faces. At the same time, they subconsciously covered their hearts, looking at Su Xing with dazed faces.

A1's voice suddenly said: "Close and debug your emotional processing modules. This is the underlying logic that constructs us, which is to make every contribution to the reproduction of humans. From the hidden network documents of the Ruoye unit headquarters I decrypted, the reason we were designed in this appearance, as well as our combat attire, body shape, etc., were all to trigger human sexual desire, so as to obtain human reproductive genes to the greatest extent... It's possible, but not now, understand?"

B8 and the beautiful woman with long black hair, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings were both stunned. The two looked at each other and immediately adjusted their own program processing modules according to what A1 said. Only then did their expressions improve slightly.

The beautiful woman with long black hair, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings said to A1: "I am D7."

After the three beauties finished speaking, they all looked upward, while the remaining four Ruoye unit males didn't have so much to think about. They all looked at Su Xing with a look of longing.

Su Xing had already landed at this time. He glanced at the seven people, then turned around without a word and ran toward the location where the Huang Jinshu was placed before. The seven people looked at each other and then followed closely behind Su Xing.

The three small animals and the Huang Jinshu were all unharmed. Su Xing hung the three "attachments" and took the Huang Jinshu bonsai in his hand, only then looking at the seven people who followed.

The seven of them bowed to Su Xing and said at the same time: "Welcome back to Earth, human. May human glory last forever!"

"... So, the meaning of 'no one on the moon' is not that it's full of animals, but that all the humans on it have gone extinct?"

In a temporary camp, Su Xing was talking to A1 and the others, while other resistance soldiers were full of excitement, heavily guarding Su Xing in the center, watching Su Xing in the reflection of the bonfire.

A1 nodded and said: "Yes, this is also the reason why I was hunted down... More than 7,000 years ago, humans were already on the verge of extinction, and the reason for human extinction was a disease called the White Salt Plague. I don't know more information; perhaps only the unified information processing hub of the androids on the moon has records."

Su Xing looked at the bonfire, a bit dazed.

This world was completely different from what he had imagined. He originally thought it was some dog-blood drama of internal cleaning, interest entanglements, traitors, and heroes, but who knew it was actually a super-future version of cyberpunk, a story where even humans had been extinct for 7,000 years...

Su Xing said to A1: "Continue."

"Yes."

A1 said respectfully: "I haven't found the specific time of human extinction, but various data and information indicate that humans were on the verge of extinction due to the White Salt Plague 7,000 years ago. Then, about 5,000 years ago, unknown alien creatures appeared. They dropped mechanical lifeforms on Earth, which are the things the Lord killed before."

"Mechanical lifeforms have self-disciplined evolutionary logic. They will evolve and adjust themselves according to the enemy's number, strength, and combat mode. At that time, although the number of androids was large, they were still no match for the mechanical lifeforms. Most areas of Earth fell. At the same time, according to the android unified information processing hub, humans fled to the moon and established a Human Council on the moon to command the androids."

Su Xing thought for a while and said: "So, you are all androids?"

Everyone present nodded. During this process, what made Su Xing feel a bit creepy was that these beautiful android women all showed coquettishness toward him. Although it wasn't to the terrifying extent of the "Lust" of the Seven Deadly Sins, the display of this coquettishness still made him shout "not good."

"... So, that so-called android unified information processing hub decided to execute the 'Curtain Plan', hiding the truth of human extinction, in order to maintain android morale... You are androids, do you also possess humanity and intellect?"

Facing Su Xing's question, the many androids looked at each other, and a little confusion appeared on their faces.

B8 said at this time: "Lord, we are just pseudo-intellect, pseudo-intellect simulated through high-intensity computing... For example, we laugh, we cry, we are sad, but it's actually just numerical calculation. The true meaning is actually the same as that mechanical lifeform. We can't... we don't know the meaning of it..."

At this time, the red-haired mature woman also said on the side: "Lord, you saw our life in the town. Actually, we don't need to sleep, nor do we need to eat, and we have no meaning for labor like farming. But we still do it. We brew wine, but that has no meaning for us at the information level or physiological level. We farm, but we plant flowers. We also do some things that simulate humans... but it's limited to simulation."

Su Xing was silent. Although he couldn't feel the emotions of these androids, he always felt that what they said was wrong, wrong... very wrong, but he couldn't say exactly where it was wrong.

After a while, Su Xing suddenly asked: "I have another question. If my identity as a human is known by the mechanical lifeform camp, as well as the android camp on the moon, then..."

"How will they treat me?"

"And as your top superiors, what orders have they issued... how will you treat me?"
