Chapter 1269: Secrets of Intelligence from Another World!

"Slaves?"

"Of course!"

"It's already the twenty-fourth century, and there are still slaves?"

"My mother says that when humans exploit their own kind, they're even more terrifying than fierce beasts!"

Su Yang fell silent.

On this point, he really couldn't argue.

Humans aren't just cruel to alien species—sometimes when dealing with their own kind, they're even crueler!

This kind of thing has historical basis.

Just look at the colonial era, and you'll understand!

"You can think of it this way: the human beast tamers of that great world have a kind of inexplicable confidence—they believe they're nobler than humans of other worlds!" Seeing Xiao Shan continued, "Once your city safely merges into that world, nearby human beast tamer factions will launch attacks against you. They'll seize ruling power directly and plunder new resources. In their eyes, you're all outsiders… yet you can hardly resist, because the beast tamers of that world are, on the whole, far stronger than you. In front of them, you're as fragile as children."

Su Yang took a deep breath and said, "I understand!"

What Seeing Xiao Shan said was indeed the truth.

Su Yang's world, the Water Blue Planet, had developed for less than three hundred years, with a small territory and scarce resources; the strongest were nothing more than Imperial-level beast tamers.

The other world, however, was far vaster, possessed more and stronger fierce beasts, and had developed for who knows how many years—the two sides simply weren't on the same starting line.

The two sides' strength wasn't even on the same order of magnitude.

"Right, plundering our world's resources…" Su Yang said doubtfully, "I feel our world shouldn't have any resources that beast tamers from that world would take a fancy to, right?"

Seeing Xiao Shan replied, "Some small worlds influenced by that great world will give birth to some very distinctive juvenile divine beasts—consider them the small world's final gifts… At times like these, it's the perfect opportunity for human beast tamers to strike. Do you understand now?"

"I think I understand!"

Su Yang suspected that Sovereign Jiazi's Nine-Tailed Fox and Xia Na's Crow of Misfortune both had this probability…

"If you have the chance, I'd suggest you try too. As long as your fortune is sufficient, you might be able to sign a contract with a fierce beast of divine-level potential. It'll be of great benefit to your development, even though the probability is extremely small!" Seeing Xiao Shan continued, "Moreover, if you're fortunate enough to be enslaved by other humans, that would actually be a good outcome!"

"Could there be an even worse situation?"

"Of course!" Seeing Xiao Shan nodded, "If you're unlucky enough to be buried underground, or fall within the territory of a powerful fierce beast faction, then you'll be even worse off. After all, if you're enslaved, you're still alive! Perform well, and you might one day be promoted to commoner status. But if your life is gone, then truly nothing remains!"

Hearing Seeing Xiao Shan's words, Su Yang frowned.

"Considering your relationship with my sister, I can point out a path to survival for you!"

"Please enlighten me!"

Seeing Xiao Shan saw that Su Yang was quite receptive, and felt somewhat satisfied.

"Move your family to that continent!" Seeing Xiao Shan pointed toward the direction of Beautiful Continent, "When the two worlds merge, that continent will be relatively much safer."

"Why?" After Su Yang asked this, he suddenly thought of a possibility—the mermaid clan might be playing the same hand as him, "Are you trying to interfere with the spatial fusion point?"

"Oh! Looks like you know quite a lot!" Seeing Xiao Shan said in surprise, "My mother does indeed plan to interfere with this world's spatial fusion process."

"Violent destruction?"

"Yes! Violent destruction!" Seeing Xiao Shan nodded affirmatively, "Spatial fusion points aren't only on our mermaid clan's side. This world has two other spatial fusion points. As long as an Imperial-level fierce beast strikes hard to interfere—tearing open the spatial fusion point on the other side and accelerating that location's fusion process—we can shift the fusion direction."

"Wait, you said Beautiful Continent is safer…" Su Yang narrowed his eyes, "So you're not planning to open the spatial fusion point here?"

"Correct!"

"You wouldn't be planning to open the spatial fusion point on the opposite side of Water Blue Planet, would you?"

Su Yang pointed at the ground beneath his feet as he asked.

As everyone knows, Water Blue Planet is a sphere.

The opposite side Su Yang pointed to was the spatial fusion point in the waters near the Huaxia Federation!

Seeing Xiao Shan nodded, "Yes, that's the place."

If that Imperial-level Jin Lin mermaid really opened the spatial fusion point near the Huaxia Federation's waters, the entire Huaxia Federation could be buried.

This was absolutely something Su Yang didn't want to see.
