464: All-out war, frontal battlefield (two in one)

Blue Star.

Lin Yang was sent back by the White Fatty Old Man.

First, he found Cang Miao and gave him the Red Tail Gold Fish, telling him to make soup.

Then he went home to visit his mother.

Zhang Fang was somewhat used to Lin Yang's sudden return by now.

She had clearly fully accepted Lin Yang's pattern of suddenly leaving and suddenly returning.

"Lin Yang, it would have been great if you had come back a few days earlier. He Ming's family had a big chubby boy. He just had his full month celebration a few days ago, and you missed the full month banquet."

As soon as Lin Yang entered the house, Zhang Fang told him a piece of news that surprised him but also felt reasonable.

"He has a child so soon?"

Lin Yang couldn't help but murmur.

He had been gone for less than two years this time, and the child was already a month old.

He Fatty's efficiency in having a baby was quite high.

"Everyone else has children, what about you? When will you bring a daughter-in-law home for Mom?"

Zhang Fang then continued:

"Lin Yang, although your identity is special and extraordinary now, there are still things Mom has to say. If it's really not working out, you can look domestically. Mom sees many young girls online who admire and like you. Don't be so picky!"

...

Lin Yang had barely stepped in the door before he heard Zhang Fang start her marriage- Urging marriage mode.

His whole mood felt a bit numb.

"Mom, it's been almost two years, and I've only come back once. Can't you not talk about these things?" Lin Yang said, exasperated.

"It's precisely because you only get to come back once in a blue moon that Mom has to say it even more!"

Zhang Fang glared at him:

"If I don't say it while you're back, I won't see you normally, I won't be able to contact you, and I won't have anywhere to say it!"

...

Lin Yang was speechless.

Zhang Fang then continued:

"Also, Mom is getting older and older. Every time you leave, it's for one or two years at least, or several years at most. It's hard to say how many more chances we mother and son will have to meet. If I don't nag you a bit more while you're back, will you even take it to heart?"

As she spoke, Zhang Fang's eyes became a little complex.

She actually didn't want to put too much pressure on Lin Yang.

These words were very stressful, and originally she didn't want to say them.

But looking at Lin Yang, she ultimately couldn't hold back.

A mother worries when her child travels far.

Although Zhang Fang hardly showed these concerns on the surface, trying to avoid adding pressure to Lin Yang, she was always worried about Lin Yang in her heart.

She also knew that young people nowadays disliked being rushed into marriage.

However, she was really afraid that Lin Yang might encounter some accident in the universe.

If he could have an heir, at least the bloodline could continue.

That's why she couldn't help but urge him to marry every time she saw Lin Yang return.

"Mom..."

Lin Yang felt a pang in his heart.

His mother's words once again strengthened his resolve to become a Spirit Realm expert as soon as possible.

"Mom, don't worry, there are things in the universe that can prolong Life. You'll have plenty of time to slowly pressure me in the future!"

Lin Yang said slowly.

He naturally understood the true intention behind his mother's urging for marriage.

She wanted him to have a child as soon as possible.

However, he was in no mood for romantic affairs right now.

Moreover, feelings are something that depends on fate.

It's not something you can have just because you want it.

Emotional matters can be put aside for now; improving strength must be the top priority!

"You child..."

Zhang Fang rolled her eyes at Lin Yang again:

"What's all this about prolonging Life? Living too long is meaningless. Just take good care of yourself!"

She didn't take Lin Yang's words about prolonging Life to heart.

It wasn't that she didn't believe such things existed in the universe.

Rather, she knew her son well.

If such Life-extending things were easy to obtain, he would have brought them back long ago.

She said this also because she didn't want Lin Yang to feel too burdened.

"Mom, I'm going to He Fatty's house to take a look, and then I'm going to the Imperial Capital. After the Imperial Capital, I might have to leave again. I'll just leave directly from the Imperial Capital then!"

Lin Yang didn't want to continue this somewhat somber topic.

His mother didn't want to burden him; he understood all of that.

Although it was rare to return and he was leaving again so soon without spending more time with his mother, in order to have more time to accompany her in the future, he now needed to seize the time to improve himself.

If there was no way to prolong the lives of his mother and others, then so be it.

Since there was a way.

Then he naturally had to do his best to strive for it!

"Leaving so soon?"

Zhang Fang was stunned.

Before, Lin Yang would stay for a few days each time he came back, but now it was only for a few hours...

"Mom, I..." Lin Yang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"Alas, a grown child won't stay. If you have something to do, go ahead."

Zhang Fang saw Lin Yang's somewhat troubled expression and proactively let him leave.

"Mom, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Lin Yang sighed inwardly, said nothing more, turned and left for He Fatty's house.

He Fatty's son also inherited some of He Fatty's family genes.

He was indeed fair and chubby.

He Fatty and his wife were also very happy to see him.

"What's the little guy's name?" Lin Yang teased the child for a bit and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, his name is He Mingyang." He Fatty rubbed his hands, smiling somewhat awkwardly.

"He Mingyang??"

Lin Yang's expression instantly became strange.

This name...

"Hehe, that's right, it's made up of 'Ming' from my name and 'Yang' from yours." He Fatty chuckled again.

"...You're..." Lin Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He Fatty was too lazy when it came to naming things.

"Lin Yang, my family's current situation is all thanks to you. This name is, firstly, to let this kid know not to forget kindness in the future, and secondly, it's a testament to our brotherhood!"

He Fatty then softly explained the reason for choosing this name.

Lin Yang sighed inwardly, feeling it was completely unnecessary, but didn't say much, only stating: "I only found out you had a child after I came back, and I haven't had time to prepare a gift for the little one. This first meeting gift will be owed for now; I'll make it up next time I come back."

"Damn it, Lin Yang, what are you saying? What meeting gift or no meeting gift, your coming specifically to see this little brat is the best gift!" He Ming immediately glared.

"Haha, alright, He Fatty, seeing that your Life is happy now, I'm relieved. I'm taking off now; see you next time I come back."

Lin Yang laughed heartily, said nothing more, and headed straight for the Imperial Capital.

Zhao Zizhen and the others were already waiting.

The video conference had started.

Lin Yang didn't waste words and immediately went straight to the point:

"Dean Zhao, Elder Ye, and everyone, this time I want to discuss the topic of Life with you."

"The topic of Life?"

Hearing Lin Yang's words, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

They all understood the meaning behind Lin Yang's words.

He was going to directly discuss the matter of lifespan!

And this matter, to be honest, was a question that everyone present had always been concerned about.

Since Lin Yang could bring back advanced alien technology, they had actually always been curious whether there was technology on other planets that could prolong Life.

It's just that Lin Yang had never brought it up, and they had never proactively asked.

Now that Lin Yang was going to address this topic directly, everyone instantly became serious.

"I'll keep it short. People from other advanced technological civilizations in the universe indeed live longer."

Lin Yang began:

"But that is also the result of continuous evolution of themselves through generations, as technology improves."

"Currently, we on Blue Star don't have a way to significantly extend Life."

"Perhaps the next generation, born and nurtured in a better technological environment, will have their lives extended, but it's difficult for the current generation to achieve that."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zizhen and the others' eyes dimmed slightly.

Lin Yang's words, to be honest, made them all feel very disappointed.

After all, everyone wants to live a little longer.

"However, everyone doesn't need to be too disappointed. Although there's no way to increase the upper limit of Life, if absolutely necessary, you can enter a hibernation pod. While you can't live a normal Life, it's still possible to come out every hundred years or so to see the rapid changes of the new world."

Lin Yang added.

"Hibernation? That's not much different from dying, actually."

Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong exchanged glances and gave a wry smile.

"Perhaps in the distant future, I can find other methods." Lin Yang said.

He wasn't entirely confident right now that he could help everyone nourish and receive Gene Potion injections after becoming a Spirit Realm expert.

Therefore, he hadn't informed them of this news yet.

Lest it cause more distress if it didn't work out.

His trip was only to inform Zhao Zizhen and the others that there was also the option of hibernation, which could hopefully further delay their aging.

"If you all have made up your minds, you can tell me your decision when I return next time. I will prepare the hibernation pods for you according to the quantity."

Lin Yang glanced at everyone, and after speaking, he left directly.

Zhao Zizhen and the others were indeed still relatively young now.

At least not old.

He would return as soon as possible next time, but after returning next time, he would fully sprint towards the Spirit Realm when he re-entered the universe, and it might take a relatively long time before he could return to Blue Star again. Therefore, he needed Zhao Zizhen and the others to tell him their decision when he returned next time.

After leaving the Imperial Capital, Lin Yang did not immediately leave Blue Star. Instead, he made a trip to Apocalypse and, following the White Fatty Old Man's previous instructions, drank a small bowl of fish head soup.

Immediately, a vast energy surged into his body.

By the time this vast energy was absorbed, several days had already passed.

"Cang Miao, I will bring you the mental will type extraordinary characteristic material next time I return!"

Before leaving, Lin Yang left Cang Miao with an expectation.

Then, he called the White Fatty Old Man to send him back to the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Affairs Building... The Bureau of Extraterrestrial Affairs Building, eighteenth floor.

"Director, you can now assign me more tasks." Lin Yang was ready to accept tasks.

To impact the Spirit Realm, he needed to integrate more extraordinary characteristic material.

But now the system was in hibernation upgrade, unable to provide him with an extraordinary characteristic material fusion device in time.

Therefore, the time efficiency of integrating extraordinary characteristic material was not high right now.

The system would be in hibernation upgrade for six months.

So Lin Yang planned to use these six months to accumulate as much merit and contribution as possible.

And also complete the second stage and final stage tasks of the Nether Night Dirge mission in the system's underlying logic task module to accumulate national treasure value.

Then, when the system finished upgrading, he would have the system produce an extraordinary characteristic material fusion device.

That way, the time required to integrate extraordinary characteristic material could be significantly reduced.

Sharpening the axe doesn't delay chopping wood.

His goal for these six months was to earn merit and contribution, as well as accumulate national treasure value.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough national treasure value to pay for the extraordinary characteristic material fusion device later.

That thing was much more precious than the Gene Potion fusion device; the system wouldn't possibly not charge for it!

He was absolutely confident about this!

He knew the damn system too well!

"Not resting a few more days?"

Song Qingfeng originally thought Lin Yang would rest for a longer period, but he was quite surprised that he returned in just a few days.

"No! Director, please give me some intelligence on other Mingye Clan bases." Lin Yang slowly began, "Since I'm going to earn merit and contribution, destroying bases will definitely yield more rewards."

Song Qingfeng frowned slightly: "There aren't many known bases right now, and almost all of them are already in the process of being captured. If you go now, you probably won't get much credit."

"Then what do you mean, Director?" Lin Yang inquired.

"There are some Mingye Clan members on the run outside. I want you to form another small team to hunt them down."

Song Qingfeng said directly:

"Now we are in a full-scale war with the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan. There are direct battlefields in three universes: Universe No. 1165, Universe No. 1168, and Universe No. 1231. If you are willing to take a bit more risk, you can also go directly to the front lines."

"On the front lines, killing enemies will earn you merit and contribution, but the mortality rate is higher."

"Universe No. 1168 and No. 1231 are the main universes of the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan respectively, while Universe No. 1165 is a universe completely controlled by us humans. All three universes contain ninth-level civilizations. Their two clans have joined forces to try and attack our human Universe No. 1165, while we have sent people to attack their two main universes, both aiming to destroy one of the opponent's ninth-level civilization universes first."

"Currently, we are essentially fighting two against one, so the firepower on the front lines is very brutal. Ordinary soldiers in the original universe had an average survival time of no more than six hours at the beginning of the war. It only got slightly better after the alliance's advanced Gene Warriors went there, but the battle situation is still very fierce."

Song Qingfeng quickly gave Lin Yang a brief overview of the current war situation between humanity and the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan.

This made Lin Yang a little startled: "Average survival time no more than six hours? That brutal? How many people must have died?"

"Alas, that's how war is. Our warriors die, and so do theirs."

Song Qingfeng sighed:

"At this point, we have no retreat, and humanity has no retreat. If we fear death, we will be annihilated by their combined forces. Now, the alliance's top experts are separately confronting their two clans' top experts, and I will also join the battlefield soon."

Lin Yang was silent.

A moment later, he looked up and said: "I'll go to the front lines!"

Chasing the fleeing Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan in the universe would naturally lower the safety factor.

But the front lines clearly needed stronger warriors like him more.

A powerful warrior joining the battlefield could save many ordinary soldiers.

"Are you sure? The front lines are a meat grinder; you'll be in great danger there too." Song Qingfeng said.

"I'm sure!"

Lin Yang nodded.

Besides the reasons above, to accumulate a large amount of merit and contribution, especially national treasure value, going to the front lines would obviously be faster.

"Alright then, given your strength, you can become the captain of a small team. Team members will be assigned automatically once you arrive at the front lines, or you can contact other acquaintances willing to go to the front lines with you to form a partnership." Song Qingfeng added.

"I'll go to the front lines by myself first." Lin Yang replied.

Acting alone might be more convenient for him.

"Very well, you can go directly then. Which front line do you want to go to?" Song Qingfeng didn't say anything else.

"Universe No. 1168."

Lin Yang's eyes flickered.

That was the main universe of the Mingye Clan.

He hadn't triggered any related missions to kill the Lingyou Clan yet.

So, he would focus on attacking the Mingye Clan first!

"Okay, be careful with everything!"

Song Qingfeng cautioned him and directly registered it through the task system.

Lin Yang turned to leave, and at the door, he turned back and asked:

"Director, I can still use Suzaku, right?"
