I have a space station

They looked like some kind of animal's eggs.

"Open one up and take a look," Dongfang Chen said, not afraid of the eggs, just curious.

"Okay." Dai Zheng flew to one of the suspended eggs and barely touched it:

"Thud~"

The egg fell directly to the ground.

Dai Zheng was startled and instinctively lashed out with a strike.

"Whoosh~"

The sword energy sliced the egg in half.

However, contrary to expectations, it was just an empty shell inside, like the shell of a cicada after molting.

It seemed that this egg had been dead for a long time.

"This..." Dai Zheng was a bit surprised, but he could understand.

This place was filled with death; it had probably been abandoned long ago.

"Pa pa pa~, pa pa pa~"

The internal environment was disturbed by Dai Zheng, and the suspended eggs fell down like leaves.

It looked very decayed and miserable.

"Continue exploring," Dongfang Chen ordered.

"Yes." Dai Zheng accepted the order and immediately took off, flying towards the interior.

"Humans, stop! We surrender!"

Just as Dai Zheng was penetrating towards the core area, a loud voice came from the sky.

It wasn't speaking Chinese, but Dragon language.

But Dongfang Chen could understand.

"Surrender is fine, but you have to show some sincerity," Dongfang Chen replied in Dragon language.

The other party did not answer.

The air in front of Dongfang Chen rippled slightly, like ripples in water.

Then, an animal resembling a mosquito walked out from the ripples.

It wasn't particularly large, about a meter tall including its legs.

"You've finally come; I've been waiting for a long time," the large black mosquito said weakly.

"Waiting for me to do what?"

"Of course, to apologize and sincerely repent," the large black mosquito replied.

"Repent for what?"

"We shouldn't have destroyed Mercury, causing you great losses," the large black mosquito replied.

"You destroyed Mercury?" Dongfang Chen was a little puzzled.

"Aren't you a human from Dragon Country?" The black mosquito didn't answer him but was suspicious.

"Of course. It's just that some of my ancestor's memories have been lost," Dongfang Chen replied.

"In that case, why should I believe you can fulfill your promise?" The black mosquito was already suspicious.

"You're repenting, aren't you? Fulfill what promise?" Dongfang Chen retorted.

Since he had already mentioned the memory loss, asking some basic questions was reasonable.

"In that case, you should investigate and come back," the black mosquito didn't choose to confront him but turned to leave.

"If you tell me what you want, maybe I can satisfy you now," Dongfang Chen shouted.

The black mosquito stopped.

It was already tempted.

The silicon-based giant black coral was about to run out of energy, and the energy of this small world was completely depleted.

Now it could only maintain the basic survival of the civilization by consuming the life force of its members.

The eggs that Dai Zheng and the others saw were not actually insect eggs but members of the clan making their final contribution to this giant black coral.

Now that the clan members were basically dead, it had no time to wait.

It wanted to obtain a chance to continue to thrive by submitting to Dragon Country.

Perhaps the former Dragon Country had given similar promises during surrenders.

"Send us to Neptune," the black mosquito said its request.

"Why should I send you there for no reason?" Dongfang Chen began to negotiate.

Neptune's temperature was extremely low; they couldn't do anything there.

He might not agree to this, but listening to what the bargaining chip was might reveal their trump card.

"I can give you control of the Tree of Life and serve you for eternity," the black mosquito replied.

"The Tree of Life, is that the big tree behind you?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Yes," the black mosquito replied.

"How do I control this tree?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"I think you'll find a way," the black mosquito didn't explain.

"How many members do you have that need to go?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Three seeds, nothing else," the black mosquito replied.

"Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind and not keep my promise?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"What's the difference between keeping the promise and not?" the black mosquito replied.

Indeed, there was no difference.

If Dongfang Chen didn't keep his promise, they would surely perish today. If they handed over the seeds, there might still be hope for survival.

"Alright, you can give me the seeds. Whether to send them to Neptune or not, I will decide," Dongfang Chen replied.

"Wait a moment."

The black mosquito left through the air ripples, plucked three date-shaped blue seeds about 40 centimeters in size from inside the black coral, and came out to hand them to him.

"Then I'll leave it to you," the black mosquito gave a human-like deep bow.

"What about you?" Dongfang Chen took the seeds and asked.

"We'll just wait for death in this peaceful world," the black mosquito replied.
