The purple liquid was completely tasteless. As it slid down his throat and into his stomach, a warm sensation began to spread from his abdomen to every corner of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling made him bounce on his toes. He immediately stepped into the gravity training room and cranked the gravity to the maximum—fifty times the normal pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His internal organs instantly felt the immense pressure, as if every single cell were burdened by a massive boulder. Li Yu slightly bent his knees, taking a moment to barely adapt to the crushing weight. The warm current roamed through his body, fusing into his cells with his every movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later, the warm current in his body gradually faded. He walked out of the training room and drank another bottle of Gene Chain Development Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repeating this cycle, six hours quickly passed. His entire body turned a blazing red, and his skin looked almost as if it were melting. Compared to before, his development progress had advanced significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not help but complain again, \"The effects of this development potion lasted for two hours at first, but the last vial today only lasted thirteen minutes. Drug resistance is building up way too fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the corner, Peyton could not resist the urge to kick him when he was down. \"This is perfectly normal. You are already a multi-gene chain organism. Your environmental adaptability is inherently very strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Peyton would not feel the need to kick someone when they were down, but Li Yu's previous remark—\"You still have plenty of beautiful times ahead\"—kept echoing in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That phrase left him feeling extremely melancholy, so naturally, he did not want to see the culprit in a good mood either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it... this stuff costs a hundred thousand Star Coins a vial, and in just a few days, I have already burned through hundreds of them!\" Li Yu tossed the empty test tube into the recycling bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clinking sound immediately rang out from inside. The sheer number of discarded vials was not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why else do you think high-tier Gene Chain evolvers are so rare? They are all built on mountains of money,\" Peyton said, inexplicably feeling much better. He continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have not even become an A-Tier Lifeform yet. If you ever reach that level, you will realize that replacing base Gene Chains is an unimaginably massive project.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu suspiciously stared at the suddenly talkative Peyton and shook his head. \"I am not going to think that far ahead just yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, as if something suddenly came to mind, and asked curiously, \"Is there anything above an A-Tier Lifeform? Like... S-class, or Transcendent A-class, something like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\" Peyton frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before replying, \"The Path of Evolution has no limits. I am not too clear on the specifics, but the Empire is indeed exploring the road ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even you do not know?\" Li Yu was a little surprised. He had assumed that Peyton would at least know something, regardless of his current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peyton thought for a moment. \"That is classified as the highest level of secrecy. I am not qualified to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his identity was that of a high noble in the Star Glory Empire, he was not omniscient. After all, he was not a figure of real authority within his family, and he had already fallen to his current miserable state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Purple Crystal Royal Fleet will arrive in seven days...\" Kansa walked over, looking rather excited. Ever since Li Yu's theory opened the door to a new world for him, he had been acting mysterious, seemingly contacting someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu looked slightly surprised. \"Seven more days? We are not even that far from the Amethyst Civilization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kansa explained, \"Mobilizing the Royal Fleet is quite a complex process. This time, they are using the banner of maintaining security at the Inuit Hub, so they need to coordinate with the propaganda machine. That is why it takes longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Amethyst Civilization was indeed planning to Kill Two Birds With One Stone—pacifying public opinion while simultaneously coming to receive Kansa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu shrugged. \"Then we wait. As long as there are no accidents, it is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kansa hesitated to speak, a hint of uncertainty on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu naturally caught on to Kansa's strange behavior. \"Why do you look like you just crapped your pants from constipation? Spit it out if you have something to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kansa grimaced as if imagining the scene, looking a bit uncomfortable as he said, \"My eldest brother is coming too. He will be representing the Amethyst Civilization to conduct a political inspection of the Inuit Hub.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is the top candidate to be the next Amethyst Emperor. He is incredibly shrewd, and we do not really get along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do not get along?\" Li Yu gave Kansa a strange look. \"Weren't you just a useless parasite before? Your brother is such a big shot, would he even view you as a threat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\" Kansa looked rather embarrassed. \"Previously, he was supposed to marry Prince Saster's daughter to ease the internal conflicts within the Amethyst Civilization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then... Prince Saster's daughter ended up sleeping with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu blinked. Even though there were no cheesy soap operas playing in the background, he still quickly pieced together the convoluted character relationships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu did not even know what expression to make. \"You slept with your soon-to-be sister-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not the main point...\" Kansa shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That is not the main point?' Li Yu could only sigh, realizing that every civilization had different customs and slightly different moral values.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kansa continued, \"Later, somehow, a video of it was leaked, and the whole marriage arrangement ended up being swept under the rug...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have just kept that kind of video for yourself. Whoever leaked it is true scum,\" Li Yu criticized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't leak it, and I didn't even film it.\" Kansa's expression turned even weirder. \"Because... there was more than one other person there at the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Peyton, whose mind had been wandering, could not help but cast a glance over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't initiate it,\" Kansa tried hard to explain. \"Nelly was already quite loose, and I was still quite naive back then... plus I had a bit to drink... so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fact that you've lived to this day is pretty damn impressive.\" Li Yu could not help but give him a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha... haha...\" Kansa let out an awkward laugh. \"Actually, Saster felt like he had lost face. The few times he faced my father after that, he lacked confidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By A Twist of Fate, it actually eased the tension between them, which is why no one held me accountable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu shook his head. \"No one held you accountable? Do you really have no idea why Saster targets you and not others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kansa knew that he had been quite a playboy in his youth. Looking back now, he felt somewhat ashamed and was too embarrassed to continue on that topic, steering the conversation back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I am a bit worried that he might try to trip me up this time. However, my eldest brother always boasts that he is willing to give up everything for the Amethyst Civilization, so it should be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu gave him a meaningful look and shook his head. Being handed a green hat could make even a simple-minded, honest man snap and commit murder, let alone Kansa's eldest brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, there is a message from a stranger. It comes with a massive amount of data and information related to Tu Rui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claptrap's voice rang in Li Yu's ear. His heart stirred as the troll hidden in the back of his mind jumped out once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compiling data now. You can watch this video first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu waved his hand, dismissing Kansa. As for Peyton, noticing his hollow stare, Li Yu simply ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the time you see this video, I should already be dead...\" Tu Rui's large face filled the screen. His expression was solemn, just like when they had first met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu felt it was completely baffling. What was this troll playing at? Their relationship had always been one of mutual scheming. Calling them enemies might even be an understatement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Rui's sentimental opening genuinely left him a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four-times speed, four-times speed...\" Li Yu instructed with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some things I want to share with you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Rui in the video started moving at an incredibly rapid, jerky pace. As he narrated, Li Yu gradually narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is what he saying true?\" Li Yu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What he claims aligns with the majority of the data...\" Claptrap projected a vast amount of information, mostly consisting of Terra Desolate Local News articles, along with a few images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu frowned. According to Tu Rui, the people looking for him were from a major noble family in the Star Glory Empire—the Loren Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A search conducted by the Loren Family and an official bounty from the Star Glory Empire could not be lumped together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Desolation Star was an extremely important place. While being hunted by the Troll Clan, Tu Rui had briefly returned to Heavenly Desolation Star to retrieve things he had not had time to take with him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he unexpectedly discovered that the Tyron Tower in the Black Market of Heavenly Desolation Star had undergone a complete purge. From the bottom-tier service staff to the top executives, everyone had been entirely replaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't wanted to get involved in this matter, but unfortunately, someone had discovered his tracks and inexplicably began hunting him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that he realized the original staff of the Tyron Tower had been silenced. The only reason he could think of for this was the Xia En incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But interestingly enough, many of the people directly involved in the Xia En incident were perfectly fine. The people near Xia En's small clinic, and even the residents treated by Xia En, were completely safe and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the situation had already concluded, and those who needed to evacuate had already done so. The people hunting him on Heavenly Desolation Star were not particularly strong. After turning the tables and killing them a few times, he obtained a shocking piece of information—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were trying to cover up a secret. Back then, under the cover of the Xia En incident, the Catfish Manager had taken some items from the Governor's Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly because of these items that the entire Tyron Tower had been silenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive amount of data corroborated Tu Rui's claims, and there were even confession videos from the Governor's Mansion patrol units proving Tu Rui's story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Governor's Mansion had indeed lost something, and the current governor was completely unaware of it. It was suspected to be something left behind by the Former Magistrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And whatever the Former Magistrate had left behind should logically be related to Xia En. However, a contradiction arose once again: the people in the Tyron Tower had definitely not been silenced because of the Xia En incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless he did something else...\" Li Yu frowned. The Former Magistrate of Heavenly Desolation Star had been in office for roughly five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during those five years, he seemed to have done a lot of things. Unfortunately... he had already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Tu Rui, he knew that there was a massive trap waiting in this mystery, so he didn't continue digging into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he returned to Troll Star, an extremely coincidental event made him connect all the dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Do you still remember that juvenile Troll Heart you left in the Tyron Tower?\" Tu Rui said in the video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Rui had originally purchased one juvenile Troll Heart. But who could have known that Taotie would find a pair of twins, thereby securing two juvenile Troll Hearts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu had asked Widow to procure one of them, keeping it as leverage against Tu Rui, and it had been left in the Tyron Tower the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since Tu Rui had obtained the second heart, this leverage was rendered useless. Later, the Old Sheep had discovered it and used it as an excuse to strip Tu Rui of his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And shockingly, Tu Rui had seen that exact juvenile Troll Heart in the hands of the Grand Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that someone from the Troll Clan had traveled to Heavenly Desolation Star. He initially thought the Troll Clan had specifically sent someone to retrieve the juvenile Troll Heart to use as evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the implications in the Grand Elder's words suggested otherwise. It turned out that the Troll Clan had coincidentally brought it back while executing some other mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed Tu Rui to connect everything together. He even learned from a friend of many years that the Troll Clan was following the orders of a certain big shot to search for a specific person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That secret mission was directly related to this person. And Tu Rui was extremely familiar with this person—it was Li Yu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Loren Family...\" Li Yu pondered, glancing over at Peyton, only to find that Peyton had started staring at him at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know anything about this family?\" Li Yu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Loren Family—The Emperor's golden left hand. They control the Empire's non-direct line legions,\" Peyton said, staring at the data projected around Li Yu. However, due to the privacy filters, he could not clearly see anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The non-direct line legions referred to forces like the Troll Legion and colonial race armies like the Four-Armed Titans. Their numbers were extraordinarily massive, making them a force that could not be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claptrap promptly searched for this information on the Interstellar Network and explained it to Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are not in the same faction as us, so I know relatively little about them,\" Peyton shook his head, though a rare hint of curiosity rose in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Loren Family looking for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could not see the files, he could hear Li Yu's occasional muttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles behind Opto-Electric Technology, the nobles behind the Tyron Chamber of Commerce, the nobles behind the Kamon Aerospace Corporation... These major and minor nobles, who could not directly intervene in the Empire's political affairs, belonged to one faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, nobles deeply rooted in the Empire's political system, like the Loren Family, belonged to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems so...\" Li Yu nodded, rubbing his chin. He couldn't help but wonder if he had some melodramatic hidden background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating the timeline, the time he arrived on Heavenly Desolation Star seemed to align perfectly with the exact moment the Former Magistrate first took office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there any distinctive traits for a noble who has had their Noble Genes stripped away?\" Li Yu asked, changing the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peyton shook his head. \"There are no traits at all. Once the Noble Genes are stripped away, they are just an Ordinary Lifeform. Just like Xia En.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu nodded and did not say anything more, expressionlessly replaying the final segment of Tu Rui's video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I exhausted a great deal of effort and went through countless hardships to compile these files and information. I have no intention of threatening you, and I know you would never accept being threatened anyway...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...So, I am giving these files to you as a gift. In exchange for this information, I hope you can save my son...\" There was not much pleading on Tu Rui's face; his expression was entirely calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you choose not to save him, that is fine too. Just consider these files a final gift from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to it, Li Yu's face remained emotionless. Soon after, another short video popped up. It was a recording of Tu Rui being beheaded, accompanied by a cacophony of loud cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Rui's eyes were glaring furiously. Through the screen, it almost felt as if he were making direct eye contact with Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sender of the files had also attached a few words, basically saying that Tu Rui trusted him completely and so on. Li Yu directly skipped past it, too lazy to even read the nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, the two of them had wished for nothing more than the other's death. Trust, my ass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu stood firmly in place without the slightest ripple of emotion, the massive amount of data projected all around him. This was a multiple-choice question that Tu Rui had presented to Li Yu, paid for with his heart's blood and his very life.\u003C\u002Fp>",2830,"2026-06-05T20:43:33.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","1146c285d599873b58c9587d96897ac552f1d305fb766a3a96a8afeed119525f","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-173","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-171",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--cover.jpg"]
