Chapter 1464

"Yes, Emperor Lin..."

"We indeed wanted to escape into a dungeon, after all the system's punishment has already come down."

"We... lost too thoroughly."

"Speaking of which, it's laughable, although fugitives are the most despised existence in every civilization. But generally those who can escape to other planets and still hide behind the scenes are usually the strong kind. At least much stronger than us..."

"Rest assured, after we escape into the dungeon, we guarantee we won't pose any threat to you! That dungeon also has nothing special! We... just want to live as long as we can!"

"Sincere, straightforward, even carrying a hint of pleading."

"Directly stating that they themselves couldn't cross star systems and threaten Earth, the Annihilator Overlord's eyes were full of bitterness."

"Planets destroyed, Sovereign slain, civilizations wiped out, system punishment."

"Moreover, facing Lin An, an enemy basically impossible to resist, the Annihilator Overlord simply had no concealment, only hoping that after saying everything, Lin An would spare his life."

"He never imagined that one day he would end up in such a situation, so humble."

"But he really wants to live on. Maybe one day he'll break through to the Fifth Stage and still have a sliver of hope..."

"However, facing the Annihilator Overlord's plea, Lin An remained noncommittal and did not agree."

"Those who can escape to other planets, are they already considered the strong kind?"

"Then according to what you say, you also have them on your planet—where are they?"

"Upon realizing the origin of so-called survivors or fugitives, Lin An suddenly felt something was illogical."

"Assuming the Annihilator had the ability to escape to Earth and hide secretly behind the scenes."

"Would he allow strong beings to arise? He, Lin An, has lived to this day, and fundamentally no fugitive has come to kill him."

"Well, over Andre's side there is a similar situation, but the danger level cannot compare to the Alien Species at all."

"So, where are the people? The strong fugitives?"

"Those who can escape are strong?"

"Recalling the battle, the fugitives he killed, Lin An only felt they were pathetically weak."

"Moreover, he clearly felt that the Annihilator Overlord utterly looked down on them."

"This isn't because these fugitives are like termites, killing many nascent civilizations; it's more like contempt in strength."

"Seeing Lin An suspect deception, the Annihilator Overlord hurriedly explained:"

"Emperor Lin! Maybe I didn't explain clearly!"

"These fugitives were strong before escaping! After reaching a place they become weak! You think, under the system's punishment, how could you easily escape and also dodge the punishment?!"

"Fugitives who can escape to other nascent civilizations are generally Fifth Stage or even higher super beings! But after escaping, their strength often plummets to Third Stage or even Second Level!"

"Moreover, as time passes, they and their descendants will not only become weaker, but their minds will also gradually develop problems!"

"It's like degeneration! Just a chronic death!"

Not only that, fugitives want to parasitize within a civilization and avoid detection by the system. Therefore they cannot interfere too much! Put bluntly, they are like rats that cannot see the light; as soon as they dare to show off a bit, the system will immediately purge them.

A group of rapidly degenerating mice, so Emperor Lin, I guess the bronze gate was very likely created by those earliest fugitives; later, when they could no longer use it, it automatically shut down.

So...

Speaking up to this point, the Annihilator Overlord suddenly froze.

He had never paid attention to the bronze gate matter, or rather, the Alien Species would not let him participate in the migration plan.

Upon careful thought, if the bronze gate of Earth and the Alien Species' time was indeed left behind by the survivors, then wouldn't that mean the two worlds have been in contact long ago?

"Emperor Lin, perhaps you could obtain some information about the bronze gate from the fugitives on your side?"

"Our fugitives have long been wiped out. However, it seems that during the period when the evacuation plan was officially launched, I heard that some fugitives secretly sneaked into the gate."

"They are all in spiritual form, so even the Alien Species guarding at the time didn't notice."

As the words fell, Lin An at this moment also realized this.

Just in that instant, Lin An seemed to think of something, recalling a person he had almost forgotten!

Spiritual form? Fugitives?

For some reason, the image of a timid old man instantly appeared in his mind.

That is the old man Huang Shaohua he caught near the Dream Flop Guesthouse in his early days! That spiritual form!

Lin An subconsciously glanced at his ring; the next second, his expression slightly changed as he looked at the empty ring, and he suddenly recalled that, to ensure Gao Tian and others had some protection in the trial, he had deliberately handed the crystal ball over to Gao Tian.
