Colonial Suit

Leaving aside the Blood瞳 for now, let's look at the other side of the universe.

In a peaceful and quiet starry sky, countless green light clusters suddenly appeared, quickly gathering into a mass. As a beam of light swept across, the massive tree-like mothership materialized. Its exterior was almost unchanged from before, except that the branches and leaves of the trees had become somewhat withered.

On the enormous tree trunk, countless Mana people began to busily work. They inserted tree tendrils into their bodies, allowing the tree to absorb their flesh and blood as fertilizer. During this process, many were drained dry, turning into dry wooden sculptures. However, most survived and began to bury the wooden sculptures of their companions in certain tree holes of the giant ancient tree.

These Mana people who had lost their life energy were not dead, but merely dormant. When the ancient tree mothership recovered to its peak state, it would naturally reawaken them. The real loss was only a certain amount of lifespan. In fact, the Mana people were recognized as a long-lived race in the universe. Losing decades or even hundreds of years of lifespan was just a blink of an eye.

However... these losses might not be noticed by the Mana people, but at the core of the tree, in what would be the bridge of a human mothership, the loss of one person made all the Mana people turn pale.

"Ugh..." A sound of vomiting rang out as a woman covered in green vines leaned over the edge of the tree trunk, vomiting uncontrollably. In just a short while, she was weak all over. Behind her, hundreds of Mana girls carefully attended to her, each afraid of provoking her displeasure.

And before these maids stood a figure also clad in green vines, the very girl who had contacted the Elter people before. She was now looking at the vomiting woman with a worried expression, involuntarily trying to persuade her.

"Lord Green Rain, shouldn't we return immediately? This life reorganization is too harmful to you. If you can't get the healing of the ancestors..."

"Don't... don't say any more." The vomiting woman waved her hand, gasping for breath. After a while, she spoke intermittently.

"Humans, they have mobilized both of them this time. Without me... you... none of you can stop them... Little Fulei, didn't you agree to the Elter's conditions? ...No matter what... I can't let you down..."

"But, Lord Green Rain," the girl named Fulei almost cried. "Your body... has already entered a period of decline... If this continues... you will return to the progenitor."

The period of decline was the nightmare of the Mana people, equivalent to aging in humans. However, the Mana people's bodies were very special, and at this stage, what disappeared was not just life, but also their abilities. The Mana people believed in nature: dust to dust, earth to earth. When everything returned to stillness, they would also return to the embrace of the progenitor, leaving not a trace behind.

It could be said that the Mana people were the purest race in the entire universe. From their arrival to their departure, they followed the trajectory of nature. No one strived to increase their lifespan because they believed that both birth and death were arrangements of nature.

Follow nature. Return to nature.

This was the Mana people, the most famous plant civilization in the universe.

However, on this mothership now, Green Rain's decline made all the Mana people feel disheartened.

The reason was that Green Rain was one of the only three nuclear-level experts in the clan. Nuclear-level was a term from the ancient chaotic period. The rating range was roughly equivalent to the current planetary to stellar level. They were truly high-end forces. Each nuclear-level expert was precious. Losing any one of them would be an unbearable blow to the Mana clan.

In fact, if it wasn't for the Elter's strong request, the Mana people wouldn't have gotten involved in this muddy water. The cosmic war had nothing to do with them. They were just a group of lives that followed nature, accustomed to birth, aging, sickness, death, and survival of the fittest. They had no interest in any information outside of nature. However, since the Great Chaos, the Mana people had long been integrated into the ranks of this cosmic civilization and could no longer stand alone.

In a sense, the Great Chaos promoted the glory of the Mana people, and at the same time, bound them to the chariot of energy civilization.

"Ugh..." Green Rain was about to speak when she started vomiting again. Her already green face turned even greener.

The life reorganization she used to escape from Old Man Death and the others was not a joke. This was an advanced technique that only the Mana people could master. Through their unique life veins, they could decompose and reorganize themselves, or even certain carriers, thereby traversing unimaginable space. Because life reorganization did not involve spatial rules, even stellar-level experts could not stop it.

However, this came at the cost of consuming the user's own life energy. If it was a body reorganization, it would be fine, but this time Green Rain had reorganized an entire mothership and all the members on it. It would be a lie to say that the loss was not great.

She was already in a period of decline when she came, and her estimated lifespan was only about three hundred years (the Mana people had the longest lifespan in the universe). This life reorganization would consume at least fifty years of lifespan. To her, it was simply poison. What's more, as she approached her return, her abilities were also decreasing. This was an irreparable loss to the entire Mana clan.

All of this was because of the task that Fulei had just accepted...

Leaning on a section of the tree trunk, Green Rain stared blankly at the distant starry sky. Her face became increasingly green, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with the digestive fluid she had just vomited. (The Mana people possessed both plant and biological characteristics)

"Fulei..."

"Lord Green Rain, please rest for a while. Here are some dewdrops and honey that were just collected today, perhaps they can make you feel better," the green-vined girl behind her said hurriedly, signaling the maids to bring the items over.

"No... no need..." Green Rain waved her hand, signaling them to retreat. Then she said to Fulei.

"This is meaningless to me, my dear disciple. I can already feel the veins in my body breaking, and life withering. The God of Nature has stopped paying attention to me, and the day I return to the progenitor is getting closer and closer."

"Lord..." Fulei choked up, feeling that she had made a huge mistake.

In fact, the main reason why the Mana people participated in this mission was because she coveted the Elter's magic crystal. It should be known that in the third world and above, Mana energy and Elter magic crystals were almost synonymous with energy civilization. Almost all magic equipment used these two energy sources. Among them, the Elter magic crystal was even better, and had always been regarded as a characteristic of the universe's nobles...

Fulei naturally didn't care about titles like universe noble, but she did care about the Elter magic crystal. The Mana people had analyzed this crystal more than once, and concluded that if it could be integrated into the Mana people's civilization system, it would greatly alleviate the problem of Mana people's decline, allowing more Mana people to evolve to a higher level.

However, she didn't expect the humans' reaction to be so intense, not only sending out two powerful mechanical motherships, but also two powerful experts who could affect the balance of the world.

Old Man Death and Old Woman. (Death Old Man and Old Hag)

The strength of these two people was enough to shock the energy civilization even in the third world. Therefore, in order to gain enough advantage, the Elter people made a request to increase their power. After some discussion, the Mana Council had no choice but to send new reinforcements.

That was Lord Green Rain, the guardian deity of the Mana clan.

The Mana clan had a total of three nuclear-level experts, and Green Rain was one of them. However, compared with the other two, Green Rain had a shorter lifespan and was about to return. Therefore, this dangerous task fell on her shoulders. This shows how careful the Mana Council was about this mission, fearing that failure would affect the survival of the clan. As the strongest expert closest to returning, Green Rain naturally had the responsibility to carry out this mission.

However, no one expected that Green Rain would suffer such a serious blow before even entering the mission area.

Looking at Green Rain's increasingly decaying face, Fulei felt extremely regretful. She should have known better than to be so greedy. What good would this mission do for the Mana clan? Just for the Elter crystal? Let alone whether the conditions for obtaining the crystal could be met, even if they were really met, would the Elter people willingly offer the energy structure diagram of the crystal? That was the highest level of energy in the third world, or even the second world. Just thinking about it made it seem impossible.

But it was too late to say anything now. Lord Green Rain had already paid the price. What Fulei needed to consider was not to let this price be paid in vain.

So, looking at Green Rain's pale face, her expression first turned green, and then she beckoned to a maid and said coldly.

"Contact the Elter people for me immediately, I want to know how long they plan to delay. We Mana people have completed the task. If they cannot fulfill their promise, I will file a complaint against them."

"Yes, Lord Fulei," the maid immediately agreed and hurried away.

The Mana people had a unique way of communicating. Even across endless distances, she was confident that she could contact the Elter people. Now all she needed to do was wait silently.

Watching the maid's back as she quickly left, a trace of worry flashed in Fulei's eyes. She turned to Green Rain and said.

"Lord Green Rain, please go back to the sac liquid storage to rest first. Your body is more important. This mission is not over yet, and there are still many places where we need to rely on you."

"It seems that this is the only way," Green Rain also sighed, nodding helplessly.

The sac liquid storage was where the roots of the ancient tree mothership were located. It was the starting point of all life energy. Under normal circumstances, no Mana person would enter there, because that was equivalent to harming the life of the mother tree. But at this moment, Green Rain didn't have much choice. For the journey ahead, she had to maintain enough combat power. And the sac liquid storage was her only choice.

But before she could get up, the previous maid ran in heavily again, calling out anxiously.

"Lord Fulei, the Elter people have sent a reply. They said that they have found the target's entry channel, but it will take time to crack it, and they require us to block the human mothership again!!"

"What!!?"

This time, not only Fulei, but Green Rain's face also changed...

A trace of withered yellow even flashed across it.
