Xiao's Diary

Xiao lay on the ground, extending his tongue to lick the blood that had flowed from his wounds

My son, are you not willing to show your father the respect he deserves

Let us not speak of those stubborn, rigid, and conservative academicians of the highest academy of Roam. If Xiao dared to present his design drawings to them, they would undoubtedly order the guards to execute him on the spot—regardless of the fact that his nominal father is the head of the Hallstrom family, it would not save his fate

The pressure in the room suddenly increased by more than ten times, and Nanket Holsom's golden eyes emitted a blinding light that was impossible to look at directly

Twelve proud warriors of the Hallstrom family marched in a neat formation past Xiao. As their captain approached Xiao, he merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment, a reflexive gesture of a servant. Each of the twelve family warriors was clad in the latest model of energy armor, adorned with a layer of a three-centimeter thick blue glow on the exquisite and ornate metallic surface. This state-of-the-art energy armor is said to withstand the main cannon fire of a Level 3 battleship from Earth, with each piece being extremely costly, to the extent that even the main battle corps of the Roam people has yet to be outfitted with it.

The glorious and great Holsom family!" The corner of Xiao's mouth twitched; the Holsom family truly deserves to be the second-ranked electoral family among the Roam people

This cave was inadvertently discovered by Xiao in his childhood. Within the cave lies a peculiar energy that cannot be detected by any instruments, yet undeniably exists. This energy is filled with a unique vitality, enabling plants to grow and evolve more effectively. Xiao is completely unaware of this marvelous energy; it is Lily who perceives its existence. From that moment on, this place became a little secret between the two of them

... ...

This is a world like hell

Thick clouds covered the sky, and a faint rumble of thunder passed from the horizon. A massive shadow was vaguely visible as it slowly traversed the dense cloud layer. The active electrons in the air intensified nearly a hundredfold as the shadow passed overhead, causing Xiao's long hair to stand on end. With just a gentle rubbing of his fingers, a small arc of electricity shot out from his fingertips, extending several centimeters. The powerful electromagnetic field charged the gravel in the raging wind, and as the sand and wind rubbed against each other, an electromagnetic storm suddenly erupted in the square ahead. Blinding purple lightning enveloped everything, and with just a light rubbing of his fingers, a small arc of electricity shot out from his fingertips again. The strong electromagnetic field charged the gravel in the wild wind, and as the sand and wind continued to rub together, an electromagnetic storm erupted in the square ahead, with piercing purple lightning covering everything. The energy shields on the warships and armored vehicles simultaneously erupted with blue arcs of electricity several meters long, and the crackling sound sent chills down people's spines.

Ancient Evil Dust

It is truly wonderful

Remember your identity, you are a member of the Hallstrom family -- of course, you cannot become a core member of the Hallstrom family -- but you can barely be considered one of us. Therefore, mechanical design, such a menial task, is not suitable for you. Master the source of power, master great strength, and master the power to dominate those inferior beings; this is what you should be doing! Fiddling with these metal objects? Great God of the Black Hole, you truly bring shame to the Hallstrom family!

The weather on Mars is always like this. Regardless of winter, summer, spring, or autumn, the sky is always overcast, and the dust storms are quite bothersome

Other methods? Xiao shook his head, unless he could complete that engine, but he lacked some extremely important custom parts.

The suddenly intensified pressure had exceeded Xiao's limits, and a faint blue glow seeped from his body, easily crushed by the immense pressure like an egg under a hammer. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Xiao's mouth as he helplessly knelt down, prostrating himself at the feet of Nanket Holsom. Nanket Holsom nodded in satisfaction.

The Roam people are able to establish a foothold on Mars, not only due to their powerful technological capabilities but also because of the significant role played by the Spirit Clan. It was the Spirit Clan members who utilized their unique racial abilities to catalyze several types of low-level algae originally from Earth, initiating the transformation of Mars. The newly formed oxygen-rich atmosphere on Mars, which is suitable for human survival, was created by the hands of the Spirit Clan.

I remember you all

A mixed-blood individual from Roam who has not yet reached the age of eighteen dares to speak of creating an entirely new engine? If this were to spread, it would cause countless researchers from both races to laugh their hearts out. Yet, for the past few years, Xiao has been studying this. This is also a little secret between Xiao and Lily—Xiao is indeed a genetic mutant envisioned by Nanket Holsom, possessing extraordinary innate abilities, but his talents do not lie in the mental cultivation that Roam people take pride in. This is also a little secret between Xiao and Lily—Xiao is indeed a genetic mutant envisioned by Nanket Holsom, possessing extraordinary innate abilities, but his talents do not lie in the mental cultivation that Roam people take pride in.

Outside the hall lies a square, approximately one kilometer in both length and width, where two dark purple warships, each over three hundred meters long, and hundreds of various armored vehicles are neatly parked. A fierce wind howls, swirling sand and gravel, while the energy shields of the warships and armored vehicles, operating at full power, emit a blinding light. Each grain of sand is transformed into wisps of blue smoke by the energy field, and the incessant sound of exploding gravel fills the air, making the vast square seem as if thousands of popcorn machines are operating at full capacity.

With a gentle wave of his arm, Xiao let out a cold laugh towards the sky. After a moment of daze, he helplessly looked at a large device in his room that was almost taking shape. Without saying a word, he picked up tools and began to dismantle it into its most primitive components. The Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Corps had been ambushed, suffering heavy losses, including a first-class warship from the Hallsom family. The custom components and parts Xiao ordered were clearly unable to arrive on time, and he had no new channels to order new parts—after all, he was merely an inconspicuous mixed-blood descendant of the Hallsom family. There were hardly any Roam people willing to deal with him, and he was also reluctant to engage with more Roam people.

For the people of Roam, being a mixed-blood is itself a form of original sin

The fair skin was as if freshly congealed mutton fat, and the golden hair shone as brilliantly as that of Nanket Holsom, equally exquisite and resembling a work of art with a ninety-nine percent similarity to Nanket Holsom's features. The young Xiao and the equally youthful Nanket Holsom standing together appeared almost like a pair of twin brothers. However, Xiao's towering height of 2.20 meters made him seem diminutive in comparison to Nanket Holsom. The young Xiao and the similarly youthful Nanket Holsom stood together like a pair of twin brothers. Yet, Xiao's impressive height of 2.20 meters appeared so small next to Nanket Holsom, and his pair of dark, glossy eyes, resembling black pearls, looked painfully bright in Nanket Holsom's gaze. Being nearly one-third shorter than pure-blooded Roam individuals and possessing those pitch-black eyes that could never appear on a Roam person undoubtedly revealed Xiao's identity -- a mixed-blood!

Xiao walked slowly out of the hall, and not a single family warrior met his gaze.

Certainly, if Nanket Holsom truly wished to pry into Xiao's diary, it would be futile even if Xiao's password were a thousand times longer. However, as one of the few prominent figures among the Roam people, Nanket Holsom would not stoop to such despicable acts. Even if he were to witness his son venting his grievances in the diary today, due to the hypocritical nature of the Roam people, he would still choose to turn a blind eye to these diaries

Horsham, what is your relationship to this 'noble' surname

Nectar Holsum forcefully stepped on Xiao's shoulder, shaking his head in disdain.

With a bitter smile, Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "No, I have failed. Or rather, I have temporarily failed."

After a moment of silence, Xiao lightly smiled and said: "Come on, Lily, don't cry. Let's go see your treasure, um, also my treasure!"

Lily's tears streamed down in large drops, and she sobbed as she asked, "Can't we think of another way?"

That damned fellow

Learn from your brothers; even the weakest among them possesses strength that far exceeds yours by a hundredfold

As time passed second by second, when Nanket Holsom completed his reminiscence of his seventeenth ancestor, he finally turned the topic to the purpose of his visit today

Ancient Evil Dust? Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Corps? Xiao repeated these two names over and over again

Xiao repeatedly murmured these two names in his heart, and he had developed a deep hatred for these two individuals

This is Mars, a terrifying planet that the Roam people have painstakingly cultivated for nearly three hundred years, barely making it habitable for them

The Spirit Race, resembling humans in physique, is a humanoid species with light green skin, pupils, and hair. Each member of the Spirit Race is delicate, exquisite, and charming. They possess a unique talent. Although the mental strength of each Spirit Race individual is not particularly strong, it is sufficiently subtle and gentle. Believing that all things possess a spirit, they are able to communicate with all living beings in the world.

Xiao stood up, facing the immense mental pressure that Nanket Holsom intentionally or unintentionally exerted, he exerted all his strength to straighten his back

Twenty-four proud direct descendants of the Hallsom family stepped out of the hall on disc-shaped flying vehicles, while a regiment of family warriors stood in neat formation outside the hall, waiting. Behind each young man was a varying number of family warrior escorts, which was also a necessary display for the Hallsom family

However, Xiao still stands upright

... ...

They all deserve to die! They absolutely should go to hell!

At the edge of the square, there is a patch of withered small woods, with tree trunks as thin as a child's wrist, weakly and crookedly standing on the ground. A fierce wind swept in, carrying large amounts of sand and gravel towards this pitiful little grove, and after a series of crackling sounds, several extremely charred tree trunks ignited simultaneously

The circular hall is surrounded by twelve radiating corridors, each leading to important buildings of the Hallstrom family. Xiao's workshop, which also serves as his living quarters, is located beside one of these corridors. The workshop, originally a resting room for the family servants, is fitting for Xiao's identity as a mixed-blood.

More advanced engines, higher energy utilization rates, and greater unit output power signify larger warships, faster sailing speeds, and more powerful high-energy weapons, which means traveling further in the universe, being able to search more celestial bodies, and discovering more and newer resources. This translates to stronger overall strength and the hope of thoroughly suppressing or even eliminating the opponent

Next to this Sand Scorpion Type I, there is a brand new Sand Wolf Type VI assault vehicle equipped with an energy shield, which is the vehicle provided to Xiao by the Holsom family. After all, they are the second imperial family of the Roam people, and Xiao's appearance when going out should still have some dignity. However, Xiao is particularly fond of this old off-road vehicle that he salvaged from a junkyard and is unwilling to use the vehicle provided by his family. The Holsom family has no way to deal with him, and he has become increasingly overlooked within the family. However, Xiao is particularly fond of this old off-road vehicle that he salvaged from a junkyard and is unwilling to use the vehicle provided by his family. The Holsom family has no way to deal with him, and he has become increasingly overlooked within the family.

Feeling the smooth skin of Lily, Xiao uttered the most vicious curse he knew against the Ancient Evil Dust and the Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Corps

Why was it not successful? Lily was on the verge of tears, her green eyes filled with tears as she looked at Xiao with a sense of grievance. She understood the significance of this engine to Xiao; as long as Xiao presented this engine before the academicians of the Roam Academy of Sciences, his fate could undergo a tremendous transformation

It is not wrong to say that only Roam individuals, who possess an exceptionally strong mental field, can survive in such an environment; an ordinary Earth person would absolutely be unable to endure for more than three minutes.

Nacte Holsom looked down at his son with a gloomy expression. The stubborn look on his face reminded him of that woman, the woman who was both infuriating and exasperating!

Lily knew that what Xiao was creating was something capable of changing his destiny. If Xiao could truly succeed in producing it, his status within the Hallstrom family would be greatly elevated—Xiao could even gain direct entry into the highest scientific academy of the Roam people because of these few items. What Xiao was manufacturing was a new generation of engines that could enhance the utilization of Zakra energy crystals. Both Earthlings and Roam people had countless researchers delving into this challenging problem. However, the new generation of engines that could enhance the utilization of Zakra energy crystals was a topic of extensive research for both Earthlings and Roam people.

Nanket Holsom emerged like a ghost from behind Xiao. His pale, delicate face twisted with anger, and his perfect lips pressed into a sharp line. His long hair, golden and radiant like sunlight, danced wildly as if caught in a storm, driven by a surge of psychic energy. Nanket Holsom's towering three-meter frame also floated due to the unleashed psychic storm. Visible strands of purplish-blue mist, formed from pure psychic energy, coiled around his body. The spacious and tidy room, constructed from special alloy steel, suddenly emitted a teeth-grating 'creak,' as an invisible force rolled through the air.

The resentment of a non-purebred illegitimate child is not worthy of additional attention from Necter Holsom.

The pressure in the room intensified once again, and Nanket Holsom let out an angry cold snort

... ...

Damn it, red blood! This is the most disgusting liquid in the world

Xiao's body trembled, the immense pressure causing his joints to emit terrifying creaking sounds. Large beads of sweat seeped from Xiao's pores, and his thin clothing quickly became soaked with sweat, forming a small pool of water on the smooth alloy floor beneath his feet

What do I care about the losses of the Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Corps? They are merely a group of greedy parasites clinging to the bodies of the Roam people and Earthlings. But what about the components I ordered? What about those parts I ordered? All my savings over the past few years have already been deposited into their account, yet they were attacked...! The components that were supposed to be delivered to me... all lost!? All my savings over the past few years have already been deposited into their account, yet they were attacked...! The components that were supposed to be delivered to me... all lost!

If I can successfully create that engine, along with Lily and this wonderful forest, this world would truly be magnificent

September 13, 2375

"Duo Ka · Huo Er Suo Mu, regardless of the circumstances, you are still the son of Nan Ke Te · Huo Er Suo Mu. At the very least, noble blood from me flows through your veins. Therefore, I cannot abandon you."

Leaving behind the multifunctional robotic arm in his hands, Xiao walked out of his room in a despondent manner. As the automatic door opened before him, a sense of trepidation even crept into his heart. How long had it been since he last left his room? Three months? Six months? ... Or perhaps ...? ... More than nine months? This spacious workshop felt like Xiao's snail shell, protecting him yet also binding him. When Xiao stepped out of the automatic door, he instinctively lowered his head.

At the entrance of each corridor stand eight family warriors, their entire bodies enveloped in energy armor. Standing nearly three meters tall, these family warriors exude an imposing presence. With their left hands on their hips and their right hands gripping specially designed poleaxes, the five-meter-long poleaxes are similarly covered in a thick layer of ethereal light. Occasionally, powerful arcs of electricity shoot out from the tops of the poleaxes, producing sharp 'crackling' sounds. These family warriors seem to have no concept of conserving energy; they keep these specially designed energy weapons at full power at all times, pursuing only the dazzling spectacle of brilliance.

In Xiao's black eyes, two bright blue lights flickered as he angrily closed his diary document. Grabbing a discarded mechanical arm from the edge of the workbench, Xiao unconsciously twisted this high-strength alloy mechanical arm, which could withstand a load of up to 10 tons. A terrifying strength erupted from his seemingly frail arms, and the mechanical arm emitted a harsh creaking sound. In his fury, Xiao twisted the robust mechanical arm into a tattered spiral.

Xiao sat comfortably in the nursery, holding Lily close. He took a deep breath, the fresh, cool air swirling in his lungs, as the vibrant life gradually infused his body

Therefore, the family gives you one last chance; as long as you can endure this trial, you will gain the family's recognition and become a true core member of the family

Equally tall and robust, handsome to the point of resembling a mythical elven prince, Xiao Pingjing stored his diary on his personal quantum computer. He archived this diary in a folder named "Xiao's Diary," secured by a complex password of 1,024 characters, sufficient to safeguard his little thoughts.

Nactar Holsom looked at the blood spouting from Xiao with disdain

If this precious creation, which has consumed all his efforts, cannot be successfully completed, then let it remain in his mind

With a wry smile, Xiao shook his head and said, "It seems that now I can only proceed with the Christo fusion ceremony."

Lily's eyes lit up as she forcefully grabbed Xiao's ear and tugged at it: "So you have time to come see me, it must mean you succeeded, right? Did you succeed? Really?"

A green shadow flickered, and a delicate, petite figure cautiously peeked out from the cave entrance. When she realized that it was Xiao Shi who had arrived by car, a radiant smile instantly appeared on her small face. Even Xiao was unable to clearly see Lily's movements before this tiny figure dashed into his embrace, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Xiao possesses a terrifying physical strength talent. At the age of merely seven, Xiao pushed aside a boulder weighing several tons to save the similarly young Lily, which forged the bond between the two.

"No!" Lily exclaimed in terror, "Absolutely not, you will die!"

Several family warriors from the Hallstrom family rushed to the edge of the forest upon hearing the commotion. One of them, with an imposing demeanor, pointed a finger at the burning tree trunks. A blast of white cold air erupted from his fingertip, causing the temperature in a localized area to plummet to around minus one hundred degrees. The burning tree trunks were frozen by the cold air, and the flames naturally extinguished.

However, what is even more terrifying than Xiao's physical strength is his talent in mechanics. It is an instinct, an almost divine instinct that cannot be articulated! Lily has witnessed the miracles created by Xiao countless times.

Today is an unfortunate day, and I am unwilling to remember what date it is at all

Nanket Holsom finally realized that the glorious history of his family had completely gone to waste, and in a fit of rage, he kicked Xiao several meters away.

The air inside the cave is very fresh, and the interior and exterior of the cave are simply two entirely different worlds

In a spacious room measuring over 100 meters in length and width, and more than 10 meters in height, various intricate machine tools are crammed together. Countless mechanical blueprints are haphazardly piled on the floor, while large heaps of metal components lie between the machine tools and the blueprints. These range from the most ordinary screws and nuts to the complex, oversized photon circuit boards that would drive an average person to madness. A foul odor emanates from the chaotic mix of numerous mechanical parts. Amidst this disarray of metallic objects, one can barely discern the 'remains' of a single bed, which is missing a leg, and upon it lies a skeletal-shaped armed robot that is only partially completed.

Remember how she died twelve years ago today

The Scorpion I model penetrated a narrow passage on the west side of the Holstrom Valley, owned by the Holstrom family. After more than an hour's journey, Xiao drove the vehicle off the transportation network established by Roam and entered a natural valley in the wilderness. Despite its tattered and old appearance, this modified Scorpion I model outperformed even the latest Scorpion VII model by twenty percent. The vehicle gracefully traversed the blocks of fiery red sandstone within the valley, ultimately arriving at the entrance of a cave at the valley's end.

Looking around, Southcott Hallstrom squinted his eyes and let out a few mocking cold laughs

Holy Unicorn Mercenary Corps

This Scorpion II model also originated from Xiao's hands, and it came from the same pile of war debris as his vehicle, the Scorpion I. Xiao invested much more effort into this Scorpion II than into his own Scorpion I, because this Scorpion II belonged to Xiao's only friend—a lovely girl of the Roam people's servant race, the Spirit Clan—Lily

"Unfathomable," he murmured softly, providing a fitting assessment of the current leaders of Roam. Xiao walked towards a dilapidated 'Scorpion I' off-road vehicle in the corner of the square. This war machine had a history far older than the seventeen-year-old Xiao; it was said to have participated in nineteen localized conflicts with Earthlings. Xiao had discovered it among a pile of war debris returned to Mars, spending over a year to restore its operational capability.

The blue light flickering in his eyes grew increasingly bright, and Xiao suddenly took a deep breath, his expanded muscles slowly contracting, the brilliance in his eyes gradually fading into nothingness

With a heavy sigh, Nanket Hallsom made a strenuous effort to pull the muscles of his face into a semblance of a benevolent fatherly expression

He opened his diary document and wrote down new words

This cave possesses a magical power that can enhance the growth and evolution of plants, and it can stimulate Lily, greatly improving both her physical and mental strength.

Remember the surname 'Xiao'; it is the only legacy that poor woman left you

Indeed, it is deadly. Lily's family holds a certain status among the Spirit Clan, and she has heard countless terrifying stories about the 'Cristo Fusion Ritual' since childhood. Essentially, none of the stories feature anyone surviving; all who underwent this ritual either perished or transformed into horrifying demons. According to the rumors among the Spirit Clan, these failed fusion demons are monstrous cannibals that consider Spirit Clan members as appetizers and Roam people as their main course.

Ancient Evil Dust

Xiao Yi crashed into a pile of metal components, and a sharp alloy combat knife carved a deep gash across his face, with crimson blood gushing out like a fountain

A young Roam discovered the existence of Xiao, yet his gaze passed over Xiao as if he were invisible. No one paid Xiao any mind, especially the pure-blooded descendants of the Hallstrom family, who had no reason to acknowledge Xiao's existence. He was merely a lowly half-breed, born solely because Nanket Hallstrom wanted to test his luck, to see if a remarkable genetic mutant might emerge among his descendants. Since Xiao's genes did not mutate, and since his talents were so mediocre, he held almost no value. A lowly half-breed, born solely because Nanket Hallstrom wanted to test his luck, to see if a remarkable genetic mutant might emerge among his descendants. Since Xiao's genes did not mutate, and since his talents were so mediocre, he held almost no value.

If it were not for the troubles caused by those two bastards, 'Ancient Evil Dust' and 'Holy Unicorn Mercenary Corps', this world would truly be wonderful

Could someone like Xiao, who can provide Lily with infinite warmth and a sense of security, also become such a monster

In the spacious cave, a faint green light fills the air, a magical glow seeping from deep within the rock walls. On the sandy ground, a nursery measuring approximately one hundred meters in length and width has been cultivated, housing nearly a thousand tender, vibrant green saplings. Each sapling stands over two meters tall, brimming with life, and every leaf is saturated with a rich green hue that seems almost ready to drip.

Even their energy armor—Xiao really wanted to tell them that there was no need to activate the energy shield of their energy armor at all times. The amount of chakra crystals they wasted every hour was enough to allow a light tank to travel thousands of kilometers. But this is the grandeur of the Hallstrom family, this is the kind of style that only the Hallstrom family possesses

Nanket Holsom, however, became increasingly cheerful as he spoke. He began to recount the former glory of his family, from his father Nanket Holsom to his grandfather, from his grandfather to his great-grandfather, and from his great-grandfather to even older ancestors. By the looks of it, he seemed prepared to recite the family tree of the Holsom lineage, which had persisted for countless centuries.

Diving into the relatively spacious cockpit compared to Xiao, he closed the slightly poorly sealed car door. Xiao skillfully started the vehicle and drove towards the valley where the Hallstrom family resided

The blue light stopped the blood gushing from Xiao's face, but it merely halted the flow. The wound on Xiao's face showed no signs of healing—Xiao knew that Nanket Holsom could instantly restore his wound to its original state, but how could the noble head of the Holsom family possibly expend effort on a lowly, tainted half-breed?

Bright red, boiling blood

Lily had no doubt about Xiao's success, so her beautiful green eyes gazed at Xiao in astonishment

In the entire universe, the only one who can have confidence in Xiao is Lily, who is crying in his embrace

However, within the Hallstrom family, even the lowest-ranking family warrior is equipped with an energy armor known as 'Radiant Dragon Wing VII'.

Although you are a lowly half-breed, noble blood from the Hallstrom family flows within you, so you should not be so weak

It is precisely because of them that Xiao had to participate in the life-and-death Kristoff fusion ceremony

Remember, in three months, you will undergo the Christo Fusion Ceremony

Uh! Xiao's expression was quite unpleasant. He mumbled the names 'Gu Xiechen' and 'Holy Unicorn Mercenary Group' once again, shaking his head in anger. "This is not my fault, Lily, this is not my fault. It is due to others, it is an unfortunate coincidence, and the only other unfortunate person besides that group of bastards from the Holy Unicorn Mercenary Group is me"

They possess such great power, yet they refuse to conserve even a little excess energy to improve the environment. Compared to those who are the most repulsive beings in their eyes—the Earthlings—how much better can they be? The fragile, filthy, barbaric, and primitive Earthlings have managed to restore the Earth's environment over the past one hundred years, while what are they doing?

The floor, made of a material fused from Kela energy crystals and special metal single crystal materials, emits a mysterious blue glow. The circular hall in front of Xiao's workshop has a diameter of 200 meters, and the Gothic arch, inspired by Earth architecture, rises over 400 meters high. The ceiling of the arch is constructed from transparent crystal material, allowing sunlight to filter through the intricately carved, light-gathering ceiling, casting brilliant beams of light that enhance the grandeur of this hall.

This is the little secret between Xiao and Lily

Xiao was completely lost in thought, his entire focus consumed by calculating a minor modification on the blueprint, and he showed no reaction to Nackett Hallsom's words

Lily's body is petite and soft, seemingly without bones. She hangs on Xiao, who feels hardly any weight at all. Xiao affectionately reaches out to tousle Lily's long green hair, and he says with a wry smile: "I have been very busy lately, very busy, you know the things I am making."

The harsh environment of Mars forces the Roam people to reside only in natural or artificial valleys. These valleys, which can reach heights of up to one thousand meters, help shield them from over eighty percent of the severe storms. A network of densely connected valleys forms the cities and urban clusters of the Roam people on Mars. Deep valleys and hidden underground passages traverse the entirety of Mars, providing extensive connectivity. After hundreds of years of recuperation, over four billion Roam people inhabit this unique semi-subterranean environment.

After hundreds of years of recuperation, over four billion Roam people inhabit this unique semi-subterranean environment

Xiao gazed at this expanse of forest

Twenty-four disc-shaped flying vehicles, each with a diameter of two meters, emerged from a corridor to the left of Xiao, accompanied by a faint 'buzzing' sound. Standing on the flying saucers were twenty-four handsome young men dressed in flowing white robes. They were tall, strikingly beautiful, and robust, resembling celestial beings. They engaged in excited whispers, a soft blue halo enveloping their bodies, pulsating in rhythm with their changing emotions. The overwhelming waves of mental energy surged through the hall like a rising tide, causing Xiao to involuntarily step back several paces, his back pressed firmly against the wall.

The overwhelming waves of mental energy surged through the hall like a rising tide, causing Xiao to involuntarily step back several paces, his back pressed firmly against the wall

Xiao lay on the ground, his gaze wandering over a blueprint pressed beneath him, completely disregarding the words of Nanket Holsom.

Remember, Xiao, this is the only thing your mother left for you

Many times, Xiao could not understand why the Roam people would construct defensive works like the Thunder God Roar. Such a planet, even if the Roam people were to pay the Earthlings, they would not be willing to come. Xiao had seen many photos of Earth in the diary left by his mother; the beautiful natural scenery was simply like paradise. Would Earthlings really cross the starry sky to attack a hellish Mars? Unless the Earthlings were all insane! Xiao had seen many photos of Earth in the diary left by his mother; the beautiful natural scenery was simply like paradise. Would Earthlings really cross the starry sky to attack a hellish Mars? Unless the Earthlings were all insane!

The enormous shadow flying overhead is the Mars defense platform named "Thunder God Roar" by Roam, a man-made behemoth with terrifying firepower and formidable defensive capabilities. This metallic platform, measuring over 10 kilometers in length and width, can only drift slowly in low Earth orbit. Its massive magnetic levitation engines continuously unleash vast amounts of electromagnetic pollution into the Martian atmosphere below, leaving a barren wasteland in its wake

Surrounded by cliffs over 300 meters high, there is an entrance to a cave less than 3 meters high at the base of the cliff to the east. A compact "Scorpion II" off-road vehicle is parked on a small patch of sand outside the cave. The usually indifferent Xiao's expression rarely softened upon seeing the Scorpion II, and a gentle smile emerged on his face.

Ancient Evil Dust

"Xiao, why have you taken so long to come see me this time?" The petite and beautiful Lily excitedly wrapped her arms around Xiao's neck, quickly inquiring about everything that had happened to him over the past few months in her crisp and sweet voice, her melodious tone resembling a spring thawing stream that nourished Xiao's soul, gradually softening his heart in the presence of that enchanting sound

Xiao, you must remember that half of the blood in your body comes from the weak, filthy, barbaric, primitive Earthlings

Nacte Hall summoned his voice, announcing loudly in the tone of a deity bestowing blessings upon his followers: "Three months from now, you will enter the temple to undergo the Christo fusion ceremony"

A blue light was casually cast onto Xiao, and Nankete turned and left Xiao's room

A lowly Roam individual could not possibly provide him with these, nor did he possess the money or power to demand them. As a mixed-blood of a despised Roam person and an Earthling, no one would, or rather, no one would be willing to believe his words—including Nanket Holsom. Even if Xiao were to claim that he had invented the latest engine capable of enhancing the energy efficiency of the Zakra crystals, his only fate would be to be ridiculed as a fool by countless arrogant Roam individuals.

The honor of the Hallstrom family cannot be so desecrated by you. Since you, a despicable half-breed, have not produced any form of genetic excellence, you are nothing but a waste. As a waste, you are nonetheless a waste of our Hallstrom family, and your study of these primitive, backward mechanical bodies truly brings shame to the entire family

Who would believe a lowly mixed-race person
