Chapter 2942: Ancient Humans

Strange.

Was it the Federation’s people?

Were they here to monitor him? They were underestimating him, weren’t they?

Fang Heng remained calm as he opened the room door, quietly closed it, and looked toward the curtains in the room.

In the shadow by the windowsill.

Su Guantong’s heart began to race faster.

She had been found!

A sense of helplessness rose within Su Guantong.

She had great confidence in her stealth abilities. Several times, she had completed missions excellently with these skills, but she hadn’t lasted even 0.1 seconds in front of Fang Heng.

The gap in level between a World Lord and her was simply too vast.

Su Guantong quickly adjusted her mindset and stepped out from behind the windowsill.

Well, the stronger Fang Heng was, the higher the chances of her mission being successful!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Fang Heng. I apologize for contacting you in this way. I’ve been unable to find an opportunity for a private conversation, so I had no choice but to take this route.”

“It’s you,” Fang Heng shrugged and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I’m from the Eastern Federation Special Agent Bureau, codename Blue Eye. On behalf of the Eastern Federation, I hope to cooperate with you.”

Ah?

Fang Heng was genuinely surprised, giving Su Guantong a once-over.

He had had some cooperation with the Eastern Federation before.

The previous collaborations had gone fairly well. He remembered that the Eastern Federation had been one of the least influenced regions by the Holy Court. When the Holy Court issued an assassination order, the Eastern Federation didn’t take advantage of the situation.

“Is that so…” Fang Heng scratched his head, “So the Eastern Federation knows about my identity now?”

“Sorry, it’s my duty. I’ve reported your information to my superiors. After their review, they are willing to cooperate with you. In urgent situations, I have the authority to make decisions on my own. The situation has now become extremely dangerous.”

Su Guantong said seriously, “Mr. Fang Heng, we need your help. The people of the Eastern Federation, no, the people of this world, need your help…”

“Alright, alright, don’t exaggerate so much.” Fang Heng casually raised his hand to gesture for Su Guantong to sit, “Let’s talk about the situation.”

“You know, the spawns and the Western District Federation have discussed establishing a Star Map. Once that plan is completed, our world will be linked to the Star Map network. At that point, our world coordinates will be completely exposed to the spawns, and even our every move will be under their surveillance.”

“The Eastern Federation has unanimously agreed that this plan by the Western District Federation is too risky. We can’t ensure what the spawns’ attitude will be. At least for now, the overall strength of the Spawns is far greater than ours, and we cannot counter them, or even the ability to protect ourselves.”

“Due to the presence of the Black Fog, the spawns may just want to use us to deal with the Black Fog, but no one knows what will happen afterward. The situation is not looking good for us…”

Fang Heng asked, “And then? Do you want to sabotage the Western District Federation’s Star Map?”

“No, not at this stage. Based on the information we’ve gathered, the higher-ups of the Western District Federation are also aware of the risks I mentioned. They simply want to use the spawns and the Star Map’s power. We predict they will intentionally delay the delivery time during the construction of the Star Map.”

Fang Heng’s eyelid twitched slightly. He thought to himself, “So that’s how it is. The Western District Federation was still playing dirty, and their appetite was truly huge.”

They want to benefit from the spawns’ technology while secretly researching the Seed of Ouroboros.

No wonder they are so loudly pushing the Star Map Project.

The spawns probably already have a bunch of excuses ready to delay the construction of the Star Map. Once the Star Map is nearly completed, they’ll cause some kind of sudden terrorist attack, delay the construction time, and then shift the blame onto other Federation regions.

Ha!

They really weren’t afraid of messing things up for themselves.

Su Guantong watched as Fang Heng fell into thought, and after a moment, she continued, “Although it seems like the Western District Federation and the Central Federation are in conflict, some clues suggest that the Star Map Project is actually something the Central Federation has been involved with.”

“You mean the Star Map Project is something the Central Federation initiated? Why?”

“I think it’s because of you.”

“What? Because of me?”

Fang Heng was confused.

“The Central Federation isn’t a unified front. Your appearance made them realize that the Holy Court might not be as reliable as they thought, so some members of the Central Federation suggested diversifying their bets and using the spawns’ power to balance the Holy Court.”

“This matter is very complex. If you’re interested, I’ll tell you more details later. In fact, to deal with the spread of the Black Fog, the Eastern Region has its own plans.”

“Oh?” Fang Heng became interested and asked, “What plans?”

“The New Humanity Fire Seed Program.”

“It all started years ago. We discovered some very important records and a special spatial coordinates during an exploration of a high-tier world. From those records, we obtained a lot of new technologies.”

“After years of research and analysis, we concluded that an ancient alien civilization had also encountered the Black Fog Game.”

“Various analyses show that the ancient alien civilization was likely human, with over 98% similarity in living habits, and we call them ‘Ancient Humans’.”

“The Ancient Humans claimed to be the descendants of the ‘Titan’ race.”

“Titan…” Fang Heng murmured the name quietly and shook his head, “I’ve never heard of them.”

“We investigated the information about the Titans from the spawns’ records. The Titans were an incredibly powerful race in the ancient universe, known for traveling across star systems and being regarded as the most knowledgeable race in the universe. Every Titan was extremely powerful.”

“But the Titans faced some kind of crisis and eventually disappeared from the universe.”

“The Ancient Humans claim to be the descendants of the Titans, the life seeds left behind by the Titan survivors.”

“As for the coordinates, the locations marked by the Ancient Humans are sites of technology, culture, strength, and other legacies. Through these coordinates, I can find more clues about the Black Fog Game and uncover the truth about it.”

Fang Heng furrowed his brows.

A legacy?

And the truth behind the Black Fog Game?

He had never really thought about the truth behind the game.

The game was just a game, what truth could there be?

“Why did the Black Fog Game appear? What is its purpose, and what form will it eventually take? We hope to find answers from the clear records of the Ancient Humans. Perhaps we can use this to fight against the Black Fog.”

Fang Heng shrugged.

He wasn’t really interested in this, so he casually asked, “Nice theory, but how far along are you in the process?”
