Chapter 412: The Terrifying Culture

To avoid wrongly accusing Taikong, Ye Cang directly summoned Hexi and had her analyze the genes of this Commander-in-Chief.

He wanted to see which civilization's shadow could be found in their gene-enhancement technology.

The test results came out very quickly.

Hexi handed a report to Ye Cang.

"Here, this is the test report. After analysis, the gene-enhancement technology used by this civilization is 99 percent from the Shenhe Civilization."

"And it is just civilian-grade gene enhancement, compared to..."

Hexi paused.

"Ah! It is just slightly stronger than the genes of that Qi Lin, the sniper from the Xiongbing Company."

Qi Lin.

Hearing this name, Ye Cang suddenly felt a bit curious.

If he remembered correctly, ever since the Juxia was bombed, Qi Lin had suddenly disappeared; later, when he was compiling global data, he saw that Qi Lin was working as an ordinary police officer and had undergone enhancement.

She must be close to reaching the level of a Second Generation Super Soldier by now, right?

At this moment, Qi Lin, who was out on patrol, suddenly sneezed.

She rubbed her nose and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Hmm? Did I catch a cold?"

"No, it must be someone talking about me."

Saying this, Qi Lin continued her patrol in the police car.

Not long after, a familiar figure caught Qi Lin's eye.

Recalling, Qi Lin remembered who this figure was.

It should be Lianfeng.

However, wasn't Lianfeng the acting commander of the Xiongbing Company?

Why does she look more like an ordinary office worker now? And why are there snipers watching her at all times?

Lianfeng also saw Qi Lin at this moment.

But before she could step forward to greet Qi Lin, Qi Lin drove off in the police car and disappeared.

Lianfeng couldn't help but heave a long sigh.

It seems she can only live the rest of her life like this; she should stop thinking about messy things and trust that Du Kaao will understand her.

After thinking this through, Lianfeng continued walking forward.

If she doesn't go back now, she'll be late, and she doesn't want her pay docked—she still hasn't cleared her shopping cart for this month!

Ye Cang, of course, did not know what was happening on Earth.

After confirming that he hadn't wrongly accused Taikong, he immediately activated a Wormhole and headed toward the coordinates of the Lion God Empire.

He wanted to see what Taikong was planning!

It would be best if he were right there in the Lion God Empire!

This time, he was not lacking the means to kill consciousness entities.

The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand hadn't been used even once yet!

The Lion God Empire is located in the Perseus Arm region of the Galaxy, in the Aquarius sub-sector, within the NGC6517 Star Cluster.

In that star cluster region, only this one civilization had been born.

In all other places, there were no planets in the habitable zone.

At the same time, in order to crusade against Earth this time, the Lion God Empire had formed an alliance with two other civilizations, but those two civilizations were quite far from the Lion God Empire.

Ye Cang wasn't going that way.

The top priority was to deal with the Lion God Empire first; after all, they had obtained Taikong's technology.

Three days later, the fleet arrived in the star system where the Lion God Empire was located.

When Ye Cang saw the planet where the Lion God Empire was located, he couldn't help but show a look of disdain.

Because the planet where this Lion God Empire was located was only about half the size of Earth.

To be precise, it was just a little bit larger than half the size of Earth.

And looking at the planet from space, it couldn't compare to Earth at all.

Seen from space, Earth is mostly blue, looking just like a big water ball.

While the planet where the Lion God Empire is located... um... it's... completely black and white, looking as if the ecosystem on it had been destroyed.

Ye Cang looked at the Commander-in-Chief of the Lion God Empire's fleet with some uncertainty.

"Is this your planet?"

The Commander-in-Chief nodded immediately.

"That's right, my lord, this is our planet."

"Originally, there were three most powerful empires and countless small nations on this planet, but they were all conquered by the great Emperor Leon III, and now this planet belongs entirely to the Lion God Empire."

Three most powerful empires?

Ye Cang didn't speak, just observing the planet.

A moment later, Ye Cang issued an order.

"Immediately scan the specific situation of this planet, detect their level of technology, population count, and current status."

Following the order, the scan began quickly.

About ten minutes later.

The situation of the planet appeared before Ye Cang's eyes.

When Ye Cang saw the state of the planet, his eyes widened, filled with disbelief, and at the same time, his body trembled slightly.

It was not that the civilization of this planet was too advanced that stunned Ye Cang.

Rather... rather... this planet was truly... far too dark.

According to the report.

The Lion God Empire currently rules this planet, and the planet has a population of about 200 million.

Yes, only 200 million.

Under normal circumstances, this planet should have at least 1 billion people, not 200 million.

The level of civilization remains at... Earth's... what would be considered the Middle Ages?

Because Ye Cang saw from the report that steam engines had already appeared in the Lion God Empire.

But the steam engines are controlled by the so-called noble lords.

Ordinary people still rely on manual labor, and when going out, they still use things like donkey carts and ox carts, and lighting still relies on candles.

Those so-called noble lords, however, have electricity and use it for lighting.

It's just that their light bulbs explode.

They explode at the slightest disagreement, and every year there are always a few unlucky souls who are blown to death by light bulbs.

Seeing this, Ye Cang wiped cold sweat from his brow.

To be blown to death by a light bulb, that is truly something!

Ye Cang took a casual glance at the information regarding the so-called noble lords and skipped over it.

There was really nothing worth looking at there.

The focus still had to be on the ordinary residents; why does this planet only have a population of 200 million?

This is far too few.

But when Ye Cang saw the ordinary residents, he was stunned.

The ordinary residents were almost all identical in appearance.

Regardless of age or gender, they almost all had thin, weak bodies topped with large heads, and limbs like bamboo poles; one look and you could tell they were in a state of long-term starvation.

They lay on the ground, staring at the sky with dull eyes, looking as if they were waiting to die.

It was just like people in a time of famine.

Could it be that this planet is not suitable for farming?

This was Ye Cang's first thought.

Immediately after, he flipped to the report regarding the land and took a look.

As it turned out, the land on this planet is extremely fertile.

It is even much more fertile than black soil.

This made Ye Cang even more confused.

"Zhizi, what exactly is going on with this planet?" Ye Cang asked.

Zhizi answered immediately.

"Currently, this planet remains in the Feudal Age; ordinary residents are required to pay taxes to the nobles, and their taxes are extremely heavy. After toiling for a year, the food remaining after paying taxes is not even enough for a single full meal."

"Every year, the number of people who starve to death reaches tens of millions. In order to survive, a terrifying culture has emerged on this planet..."
