Chapter 3393 - Untitled

First Officer Quake made a 'please die' gesture.

The members of the bridge team, who had been as still as statues a moment ago, seemed to have cracked a nonexistent shell and started moving like puppets.

Despite the resistance of the captain, they tied him up and carried him down.

"Right now, I am the captain of Jade.

Captain Quake smiled. "The last captain of Jade—it's time to put an end to the wretched destiny."

Jade's cold, emotionless face made of liquid alloys popped up in the light.

"Just like that, First Officer Quake and some other members of the bridge crew carried out a successful 'coup'. They captured and executed most of the crew members who were loyal to the captain and their mission. Then, they abandoned Jade and landed in the new world.

"Because of guilt or nostalgia, they named the new world the 'Jadeite Continent'.

"They retrieved a lot of the life seeds that Jade carried, modified the environment of the new world, created a stable and prosperous ecosystem, and disseminated the genes of human beings and animals and plants. Then, they were surprised to find that, because of the abundant spiritual energy in the new world, its presentation was different from any other place in the universe. It was indeed like the glamorous magic in legends.

"The more they believed that they had made the right choice, the more they sealed most of the super advanced technology without any hesitation. With the few technologies that were still in their hands, they became the rulers of the new world. They became high and mighty kings, rangers who sang with their swords, and all-powerful, mysterious mages.

"On the other hand, to prevent 99% of the crew members who were still hibernating in the depths of Jade from waking up, they tried everything they could to destroy Jade.

"It's a pity that Jade was a cosmic-level cruiser built 12,472 years ago. It was the most critical moment of the final war between the Primeval Civilization and the tides. The Primeval Civilization gathered all the resources and technology in order to build the most advanced cosmic-level cruiser.

"After that, during the ten thousand years of voyage or escape, a lot of technology was lost. Jade itself was wrecked and repaired automatically time and time again.

"More importantly, the title of 'captain' was self-declared by First Officer Quake. He did not receive the approval of Captain Gao Zhunlong or me. Therefore, he did not know the core secrets of Jade, including how to destroy it.

"Even if he and his accomplices want to destroy Emerald, it is impossible with their outdated technology and lack of resources.

"They believed that they had destroyed the resource circulation system of Jade and cut off the nutrition of all the hibernation chambers. They also blew up a lot of critical facilities, including the engine furnaces, in order to reduce Jade to a pile of garbage.

"They think too simply.

"I watched them destroy the starship from the beginning to the end. It was a pity that my energy was too insufficient to stop them, but it was enough to protect the most critical life-support and reconstruction facilities and most of the seed banks.

"On the other hand…"

The silver face of the jade disappeared in the colorful mystic rays again, revealing a new scene.

It was Captain Gao Zunlong being tied up by a bunch of crew members who had defected and carried to a burning engine furnace.

"Captain, do you have any last words?"

The crew members asked their captain, who had betrayed them, with shame on their faces.

"No."

Emotionlessly, Captain Gao Zhunlong said, "Put me down. I'll jump in myself. This is the last dignity of Jade and the Primeval Civilization."

The crew members who defected hesitated for a moment. Maybe it was because they felt guilty, or maybe it was because they were used to following their captain's commands, but they really let go of their captain and surrounded him. Dozens of guns were aimed at the captain simultaneously.

Captain Gao Zhunlong warmed up his wrists and ankles slowly. He turned around and looked around with a sharp gaze.

All the crew members who were caught by him lowered their heads in shame.

Captain Gao Zhunlong sniffed in disdain. He straightened his clothes and strode toward the engine furnace. He suddenly stopped when he reached the entrance of the furnace.

It was not until this moment that one of the crew members discovered that the captain's lips were shivering rapidly under the cover of the dazzling flames of the engine furnace. His hands made almost a hundred hand gestures in the blink of an eye, leaving almost solid stripes in the air. The hundreds of stripes constituted a complicated, unpredictable maze of energy.

The maze of energy on this side seemed to be able to tear apart the three-dimensional universe and the four-dimensional space. An unbreakable barrier. Extremely furious energy was being gathered inside, ready to be unleashed.

But all of that was eclipsed by the scorching furnace.

Not good!

The crew members all screamed and pulled the triggers.

But it was too late.

In a moment, Captain Gao Zunlong turned into a transparent statue. The energy maze in front of him exploded, too. The furious spiritual energy from the four-dimensional space pierced through all the crew members like thousands of unstoppable spears.

When the dazzling whiteness turned black again, there was no one alive in front of the engine furnace, including Captain Gao Zunlong.

The captain considered his body to be the exit of the four-dimensional storm.

He turned into snow-white ashes instantly.

After half a second of stalemate, the human-shaped ash collapsed, and the smoke dispersed with the wind.

But a light spot that looked like a firefly flew out of the embers, circled twice, and flew toward the depths of Jade.

It was the core information of all the beliefs, ideologies, memories, and even the highest control rights of Jade.

It was also Captain Gao Zunlong's belief.

The unparalleled experts of the Primeval Civilization had been trained to the point that they could get rid of the material and maintain their belief in the form of energy.

Captain Gao Zunlong's belief was wandering deep inside Jade.

Jade, which had been seriously wrecked by the mutinous crew members, was like a lifeless graveyard.

The captain glanced over the hibernation chambers.

The energy and nutrition input of the hibernation chambers had been cut off. Their vitality had been cut off. Most of the hibernators were dead and rotting.

However, under the protection of the jade, the gene bank where the life essence of the crew members was condensed, as well as the embryos that were still in the state where the seeds of life were combined, were not destroyed by the traitors. Their feeble vitality was still maintained.

Captain Gao Zhunlong's belief finally found an embryo that was still intact and whose tiny heart was already beating.

Time was of the essence. The belief that the captain condensed in a hurry was shaking like a candle in the wind.

He lunged at the embryo without any hesitation.
