Chapter 410: Great Love Project

Just as the world was undergoing earth-shaking changes because of Li Ang's ascension to immortality, a conversation was taking place in a certain hidden facility located deep beneath the far north.

"It's been so many years now, so why did something like this have to happen during our term?"

The one who said this was a humanoid creature with two insect antennae on its head, currently looking at the enormous surveillance screen before it with a worried expression.

And beside it was... uh... a fleshy lingzhi?

Of course, upon closer inspection, one could see that this lingzhi-like creature had a female face.

Facing her colleague's complaint, the fleshy lingzhi first yawned, then unhurriedly began to speak: "Nanguaini Society you woke me up."

"But according to the records in the database, the last time this kind of creature appeared on this planet was six or seven hundred years ago, right?"

As the fleshy lingzhi spoke, she observed the young man with an indifferent expression on the screen.

Hearing her words, the insect-person nodded in confirmation: "Yes, the last time this kind of creature called an immortal appeared was over eight hundred years ago, during what those humans call the Song Dynasty."

"It's just..."

However, as he spoke, the insect-person suddenly paused, an extremely hesitant expression appearing on his face.

Seeing this, the fleshy lingzhi couldn't help but feel puzzled: "What's wrong? Although it really is giving me a headache, shouldn't there be a solution in the employee handbook? Just follow the procedure, right?"

"I don't know if those guys before were slacking off and failed to record some information, or if this time a special individual appeared, in any case—" the insect-person tried to explain, but didn't know where to begin, and could only shake his head in the end, "Forget it, see for yourself."

As his words fell, he waved his right hand, and the screen beside them immediately switched to a new image.

And in the newly appeared image, an incomparably enormous Bagua array disk had enveloped an entire azure-blue planet.

"...?"

Looking at the scene on the screen, a question mark slowly rose above the fleshy lingzhi's head.

As an extraterrestrial being, she had already recognized that the azure-blue planet in the image was the very planet she was currently on.

"Are you sure you're not messing with me?!"

The fleshy lingzhi now really hoped her colleague was joking, but unfortunately all she could see was a deadpan face.

Facing the doubt, the insect-person couldn't help muttering: "If only it were fake."

After a brief silence, the fleshy lingzhi asked: "Has the information been sent to headquarters?"

"Sent."

"That's good then."

"But when the people from headquarters will arrive is unclear."

"..."

After just a few words, the room fell silent once again.

One insect and one lingzhi stared blankly at the screen, neither knowing what to say.

In the organization's records, immortal-type creatures had appeared before, and had likewise caused great commotion.

But a scene covering an entire planet like this was the first time they had seen.

Fortunately, communications on this planet were still not very developed, otherwise they really wouldn't find it convenient to handle the aftermath.

The premise being that the other party was willing to cooperate.

At this moment, the fleshy lingzhi suddenly asked: "So we're just going to wait until the headquarters members arrive before doing anything?"

"Obviously." Hearing this, the insect-person couldn't help rolling his eyes, "What can just the two of us do? Or are you counting on those ability-users in the organization?"

"..."

The fleshy lingzhi fell silent.

Under normal circumstances, the armed forces a planet-stationed organization deployed would certainly be sufficient to handle the vast majority of situations.

But the current situation was not normal.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing: "We can only—"

However, before she could finish speaking, a piercing ringtone sounded in this hidden underground location.

At this moment, crimson warnings kept popping up on the surveillance screen, while simultaneously displaying the destabilizing factor that had caused this situation.

One insect and one lingzhi looked at the expressionless youth on the screen, a hint of bewilderment appearing on their faces, followed by some life-questioning muttering: "... He found us?"

As if having heard this remark, the figure in the image raised his head and looked toward the surveillance camera's location.

Seeing this, the insect and lingzhi couldn't help but shudder.

But before they could do anything, a voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"Aliens?"

Hearing the voice, the duo turned their heads stiffly, and a somewhat curious young man immediately came into their view.

The newcomer was naturally Li Ang.

At this moment, looking at the clearly non-Earth creature insect and lingzhi in the room, he was somewhat curious for a moment.

There was such a force in the One-Person World? Why didn't he remember—wait.

As his energy level rose, and with various expertise bonuses, Li Ang's past memories were becoming increasingly clear.

Therefore, some originally very vague details he could also recall after careful thought, and these two before him—more accurately, the fleshy lingzhi—did seem to have appeared in One-Person World.

That blonde guy with the Divine Mask had a similar creature.

But Li Ang could only recall this much, after all, when he read the manga back then he would just glance over such unimportant details.

Meanwhile.

Seeing their identities exposed, the duo's bodies stiffened, and they rapidly exchanged thoughts through eye contact.

'Quickly call all the subordinates over!'

'What do we do, should we surrender first?'

Unfortunately, perhaps because of their different species, the insect and lingzhi clearly failed to understand the meaning the other was trying to convey.

Fortunately, Li Ang ultimately gave them a quick resolution: "First turn off that alarm, it's annoying me."

"Ah, yes!"

The Insect Person didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly shut off the alarm.

After finishing this, he rubbed his hands together like a fly and asked ingratiatingly, "I have some fine tea leaves here. Would you like some?"

According to the database records, most immortal cultivators in the past enjoyed drinking water brewed from specific plants, so the Insect Person naturally assumed the one before him was the same.

Unfortunately, he was in for a disappointment—Li Ang wasn't interested in the slightest: "Tell me about your origins."

Seeing that his flattery tactic hadn't worked, the Insect Person was momentarily embarrassed.

Meanwhile, the Flesh Ganoderma beside him glanced over with a look of disdain, seemingly looking down on him for acting so obsequiously.

Before the Insect Person could speak again, the Flesh Ganoderma coughed, then said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Mr. Immortal, our organization is called the 【Great Love Plan】. Our mission is to protect the aliens on Earth and resolve the problems they bring."

After briefly introducing her organization, she added with a shifty look, "Of course, sometimes we also make sure certain special individuals don't excessively interfere with the progress of civilization."

"That really is quite 'great love,' isn't it."

After hearing the Flesh Ganoderma's introduction, Li Ang's face showed an expression of neither approval nor disapproval.

So-called special individuals—weren't they referring to people like him, these immortal cultivators?

But this could explain why he hadn't found any kindred spirits on Earth, and why none of them had ascended.

More accurately, so-called ascension was most likely those immortal cultivators leaving Earth and wandering off into the universe.

As for the reason—

Li Ang didn't think his predecessors would be so obedient as to let a bunch of aliens push them around.

But looking at it this way, this 【Great Love Plan】 was no simple matter.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the nervous insect and fungus duo.

At this moment, in Li Ang's perception, there were no experts in this secret base. He only needed to release his own aura to crush these people like squashing ants.

Even if his predecessors weren't as strong as him, they couldn't possibly have fallen into the hands of these small fry.

Unless—

As if guessing what was on his mind, the Insect Person said rapidly, "Mr. Immortal, please calm down! We're just wage-earners! Even if you kill us, it won't do any good!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

The Flesh Ganoderma frantically echoed him from the side.

Looking at the duo before him crying with snot and tears streaming down, Li Ang's eye couldn't help but twitch.
