A Night of Desperation-Chapter 591: tidy up three
Half a month later....
Moon Palace Base.
In the abandoned factory, Yu Hong sat cross-legged on the open ground surrounded by a mess of abandoned machines. The rusty dark red color mixed with the sunlight streaming through the holes in the walls, creating extremely vivid hues.
Click.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and Yinluo appeared instantaneously, standing in front of Yu Hong.
"I’ve brought the items. Are you really willing to keep your promise and let me and the remaining Yinluo people leave?"
"Of course, killing you all doesn’t mean much to me." said Yu Hong, who had already killed over ninety percent of the Yinluo people.
"...." His Highness clenched his fists but could only hold back, not daring to say more. He lowered his head and tossed a small metal box from his hand, letting it fall to the ground.
"This is the storage unit. You can read the contents with a universal computer interface. Inside is the energy furnace technology you requested."
"Leave the finished product with me. You can take a spaceship and leave." Yu Hong said generously.
".... Okay." His Highness endured the humiliation and fear in his heart and turned to leave.
As he reached the door, he stopped abruptly and turned back.

"Sir, may I ask, what exactly is the Elemental Emperor you mentioned?"
"It’s the truth of this world." Yu Hong replied casually.
His Highness was momentarily stunned but asked no more questions and turned to step out of the factory.
When he couldn’t resist turning back to look again, he found that Yu Hong had already disappeared.
In space, Black Black Spirit quietly moved away from Flame Star, flying toward the boundless starlit universe.
In the safe house, Quan He held the storage unit that had just been obtained and plugged it into the computer, reading various technologies for Yu Hong.
"It requires a lot of materials. It’s good you brought back an actual sample." She sighed.
"How is it? Can it be installed on the safe house?" Yu Hong asked.
"I’m not from the science side. I don’t understand it. I can only use the magic method to integrate it, but this may consume nearly half of the power energy. Is that acceptable?" Quan He asked.
"Even if it’s only half, it’s much better than before. Let’s try installing it first." Yu Hong tossed his storage bag to her, which contained the energy furnace of the last spaceship.
"Where are we heading now?" Quan He asked.
"To another place, where there’s no Great Annihilation." Yu Hong sighed.
Black Black Spirit suddenly flashed, colorful threads wrapped around it, and it quickly disappeared.
Following Su Dan’s guidance, there was now enough vitality that Yu Hong no longer manipulated Black Black Spirit intentionally but allowed it to freely move towards the land of vitality.
The approaching Great Annihilation reignited a sense of urgency in him. He needed to find the land of vitality as quickly as possible and take everyone there. Otherwise, everyone would die.
The slow increase in cultivation was now compensated significantly by the emergence of the Ancient God Body.
Yu Hong decided to try again.
Three days later...
Boom!
Black Black Spirit tore through colorful threads, breaking out of the Wind Disaster, and crashed violently into an endless sea shimmering with silver light.
The seawater was heavily displaced and splashed large water droplets.
Even the splashing water droplets were silver.
This was a sea composed of something resembling mercury.
Yu Hong and his two companions stood in the first-floor hall, looking out the window, they could only see a vast expanse of silver.
"No signs of life detected, no islands or land discovered, at least not within the range of my divine sense." Yu Hong said solemnly.
"Let’s settle here. I’ll set up an array, then modify the energy furnace, and we’ll continue once it’s completed." Quan He said.
"Okay." Yu Hong nodded.
"I’ll tidy up the items and miscellaneous things." Yiyi raised her hand. "Monitor the environmental data and the conditions throughout the safe house."
"Hmm." Yu Hong gently pinched Yiyi’s cheek and nodded again.
Once the two left to their tasks, he returned to his cultivation chamber, examining the Immortal Life Armor he had acquired.
He had researched this armor for several days and had almost figured out how to use it.
Once Black Mark was free, he could let Yiyi use it.
The armor operated through Immortal Level energy reaction. By using its Immortal Level energy core to absorb low-energy levels, it could maintain power indefinitely.
And since the armor contained high-level Immortal energy, nearly matching Yu Hong’s own level, it could continue to exist by absorbing low-energy levels as long as it wasn’t countered by the same energy level.
This energy utilization method gave Yu Hong significant insights.
He began to study how to create similar immortality armor using his own power, although it would be a simplistic version with far lower energy efficiency compared to Life Armor.
However, the advantage was that this type of armor could greatly protect those he wanted to protect, allowing them to receive continuous protection from his power even in dangerous environments.
After researching the armor for a while,
Yu Hong took a short break, glanced outside, and swept his divine sense over the surrounding area within tens of thousands of kilometers.
Still empty, without any signs of life.
Quan He had already gone out to set up an isolation array around Black Black Spirit, preparing to upgrade the energy core.
Standing by the window, he could see her moving back and forth.
Yu Hong also stepped out of the cultivation chamber and went out the door.
He saw that a slightly larger circular transparent barrier had been erected around Black Black Spirit.
The barrier kept the silver seawater at bay while Quan He was busy, and Yiyi was helping with a tablet computer.
"Do you need help?" Yu Hong asked.
"No, just focus on your own tasks. It should be done in about two more hours." Quan He transmitted, "It’s just setting up an energy conversion array."
"Alright, then I’ll take a walk around." Yu Hong responded.
This time, Black Black Spirit had moved to this place on its own. Given the duration of the journey, it was unlikely they had entered a place more dangerous than the City of No Light. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Following senior Su Dan’s guidance, their direction had actually backtracked a little.
With Yu Hong’s now greatly-enhanced strength, cultivation, and physical body, his courage had also significantly increased.
He flew to the transparent barrier, touched it lightly.

A rounded oval opening automatically appeared in the barrier.
As soon as he emerged from the opening, Yu Hong came into direct contact with the silver seawater outside.
Hot!
Very hot!!
That was his first sensation.
Although it wouldn’t harm him, it was certainly uncomfortable. Yu Hong reached into his pocket and took out a modified detector he had been working on recently.
Red Value Detection: 0.
Spirit Light Radiation Detection: 0.
Wind Disaster Radiation Detection: None.
Light Disaster Radiation Detection: None.
Temperature: 11,790 degrees Celsius.
"... Over ten thousand degrees... Is it broken?" Yu Hong frowned and shook the detector. If it truly were this hot, the detector should have been burnt out.
The remaining radiation detection—red value and spirit light—were originally present, while the other two were his own modifications. Since he couldn’t quantify them precisely, he could only measure them in three levels: low, medium, and high.
In simple terms, there were some detection substances sensitive to both types of radiation inside. The different reactions of these substances would give a summarized result.
Putting away the detector, Yu Hong used his divine sense to check on the Black Black Spirit behind him. Confirming it was still safe and sound, he sped upward.
The silver seawater constantly receded behind him. Like a sharp arrow, he shot straight upward and with a soft "poof," he broke through the surface and rushed into the sky.
The sky here was also silver, devoid of clouds or sun, but filled with many floating structures.
There were broken gray high-rises, pitch-black decaying castles, massive circular playgrounds, and shattered metal towers.
It seemed the entire world had been torn apart by some immense force.
Yu Hong slightly reduced his speed, judged his surroundings, and aimed for the closest silver-gray rectangular building that had broken into three sections.
Whoosh!
He accelerated towards it, then slowly descended to the entrance of the bottom fragment.
The door was slanted, and the dilapidated lobby inside rotated slowly along with the building fragment.
He slowly entered through the doorway.
Inside was a crooked stairwell.
The floor was littered with various scattered items—some yellow cardboard boxes covered in black ash.
Yu Hong floated lightly, following the stairs upward.
Suddenly, he stopped.
A small, long-haired figure stood at the bend of the stairs, silently gazing at Yu Hong with a pair of pale eyes.
The figure was a girl of about seven or eight years old, dressed in a pink strap dress with her exposed shoulders and arms slightly darkened.
"You..." Yu Hong slowly began to speak but paused again.
Because the girl in front of him started to slowly disintegrate, crumbling into black ash that gently dispersed.
In less than two seconds, she vanished completely before his eyes.
Yu Hong approached and found a white envelope at the spot where the girl had disappeared.
There were some red characters he couldn’t understand on it.
Yu Hong quickly took out a small bottle from his waistband, poured some golden powder from it, and sprinkled it on the writing.
Then he softly recited a few magic spells.
Language Comprehension, spell activated.
This was a universal spell to translate languages by communicating with the ambient pheromones, one of the fundamental spells of the Arcane System.
Although Yu Hong didn’t practice arcane magic, he had studied the spell system. Given his current cultivation, simulating a basic spell after understanding its principles wasn’t an issue.
Soon, the writing on the envelope became clear and understandable to him.
’Lu Sha, wait for Daddy.’
The envelope contained only this sentence.
Yu Hong continued moving forward while attempting to extract the letter inside.
But the letter had long been reduced to crumbs and could not be pulled out.
He could only gently open the flap and peer inside.
’The evolution has begun. If successful, Daddy will come to take you away. If it fails, stay home and don’t go anywhere. Wait for Mommy to find you. —Sun Yingchao.’
Yu Hong sighed inwardly. There was no need to read further;he knew that the so-called evolution had likely failed.
He continued upstairs.
Household by household, almost everything was covered with thick black ash—furniture, floors, walls, sinks, everywhere.
No remnants of food or corpses were found.
Yu Hong quickly flew out of the building and headed towards another structure, which appeared to be a government building.

This building looked like a white chocolate wrapped in a circular wall.
The surface was covered with large cracks.
It floated in the air, moving very slowly into the distance.
Bam.
Using his mana, Yu Hong blasted open the white security door at the building’s entrance.
A huge cloud of black ash immediately gushed out from within.
He stepped back, waited for a while, and after a good ten seconds, the black ash gradually lessened, weakened, and finally disappeared.
Yu Hong flew inside through the door.
In the black corridor inside, a tall, thin black figure stood.
It was a middle-aged man with short hair, wearing glasses, holding a white briefcase, standing quietly in the corridor.
As Yu Hong entered, the man’s body quickly cracked and disintegrated, turning into flying ash from foot to head within seconds.
Where he had been standing, only a very worn-out black glasses case remained.
