Chapter 7787
Vera's suggestion definitely inspired Charlie—the nine portals spread across the globe would allow him to keep the entire world at his fingertips, while the void ring provided incredible logistics capacity as support.The void pocket was at least 350,000 cubic feet wide, which meant an alarming amount of space for resources. That was at least 90,000 tons worth of crude oil, making it no different from an oceanic cargo ship.And in comparison, it takes a cargo ship a month at minimum to cross the seas, while Charlie needed just ten seconds to travel the same distance.Still, even with the convenience of the nine portals, he couldn't just do everything by himself. As such, the best idea was to have a shipping company and hub, with planes making the final journey to deliver his resources where he wanted them, after which he gathered everything into the void pocket.It would take billions of dollars, but that was nothing compared to Charlie's wallet—the only issue was that such capital

Vera looked up at the leaves of the kombuc tree, peering through the leaves at the starry sky, smiling as she breathed softly, "I've been staring at the stars for four hundred years, but it looks different today. I used to find it infinite and wonderful, but now there's also mystery and terror lurking within that same infinity."Charlie looked up at the stars and nodded as well."I once thought that the universe was so vast," he sighed. "What with two hundred billion stars in the Milky Way alone, each star having its own star system like our sun… That's why I was confident that there is life in them too. "But I also used to feel superior about us, presuming that even if there were extraterrestrial life, most of it would probably just be microorganisms living in water… That they are unlikely to be blessed with the right timing and conditions to develop into a civilization comparable to humanity. "That is, until now. Looking at the stars again, knowing that there are lifeforms who

As night arrived at Aurous Hill airport, the Gulfstream Business Jet touched down safely on the tarmac and quickly taxied into the prearranged hangar.It was a highly secluded hangar that most civilians couldn't access, with even the ground crew kept out.Two black Houlmounts that won't draw attention were waiting in a corner even as the plane slid into the hangar, with Logan Carrick, his wife, Emmett Sandsor, and Marilyn Lacey waiting for them alongside the chauffeurs.As the business jet stopped, Charlie and Vera disembarked consecutively.Logan Carrick, his wife, and Emmett Sandsor quickly approached them, bowing their heads respectfully in greeting. "Ms. Lavor. Mr. Wade."Vera smiled at them. "Thanks for waiting and traveling all the way here. It must be taxing, especially at your age."Logan smiled respectfully. "Not at all. We're always glad to be of service, and we are feeling pretty good after the pills Mr. Wade blessed us with."Vera laughed and nodded. "And tell Emmett

As such, Vera squeezed Charlie's hand as she changed the subject and asked, "How do you think we should get from Westron to Aurous Hill? We have no identification since our current identities are registered to have passed through Argentina, and it'd raise alarms if it suddenly showed up in Oskian traffic."Charlie thought about it, and nodded. "I'll ask Isaac Cameron to send a private jet and see if we can board it directly to the airport."Vera shook her head. "Those who know that we're in the Antarctic would be aware we can't make it back in this season. Smarter ones would quickly smell a rat—we can only trust closest confidantes on this one, and keep others out of the loop.""Makes sense," Charlie nodded again in agreement. "What do you have in mind?"Vera smiled. "I'll get Emmett and Logan. I've known them since they were kids, and they know that I've lived for four hundred years. They won't be surprised that we're suddenly back, nor would they pry or mention it to anyone else.

Charlie absolutely agreed with Vera's opinion—the path of cultivation inherently consumed enormous resources for an individual. It used the most refined Reiki to infinitely enhance personal strength, and from a wider perspective, it was nothing less than squandering. After all, they were talking about concentrating resources for only a few million or even fewer cultivators all while draining dry a planet capable of sustainably supporting billions. It's a celebration of elitism and not wider society or even human civilization. They are therefore speculating that an advanced spacefaring group of cultivators must have arrived before the dawn of human civilization. Instead of inspiring and leading, they devoured Earth's cultivation resources and then left without looking back. Therefore, the portal built in the plaza pagoda of the subterranean city is—bluntly speaking—a funnel through which they plundered all of Earth's resources, sending out worker ant-like cultivators to franticall

Pausing, Vera continued, "When I studied at Harvard over a hundred years ago when the discipline of biology first came to be, scientists across the world began the discussion on the theory of evolution. Many of them were particularly obsessed with fossils of prehistoric creatures, with Harvard being the central location of such forums and discussions."At the time, academics already had complete chains of biological specimens and evidence to prove evolution. From fossils of Cambrian trilobites to Cretaceous dinosaurs along with the first primates—or the microbial remains of more than 3 billion years ago, it's all solid proof that evolution applies."It's been decades. Even if I stayed out of the limelight, the many enterprises and organizations with my investments had excavated fossils, DNA tests and other research to further prove the theory of evolution."Charlie nodded, but was bemused and waited as Vera took a deep breath and kept going. "But to sum it all up… There's an order w
