"The civilization that won would have continued mining as usual. Even if they were to exhaust all the minerals beneath the Earth's surface, it wouldn't have affected the surface lifeforms much. However, the star condensate buried deep within the Earth is unreachable by the current fleet of metal monsters. Therefore, they need a massive communication device to call back the exploration ships that have been gone for over three hundred years. Before that, the presence of surface life would hinder their mining operations, so they must carry out another task: exterminating all life on Earth. Hence, the current large-scale warfare on the surface."
"As for my civilization and the other, mine advocates peace. We don't wish to see all life on Earth perish, but we are powerless to stop them."
"I forgot to mention, I am the representative of my civilization, while the other civilization's representative is three half-mechanical creatures resembling spiders. You might remember them."
Jia Yan was slightly stunned. Those three spider-like creatures were the representatives of the other civilization!
And this woman was the representative of one of the three alien civilizations. So, the representative of the third civilization must be the person inside the flying object they fought against?
That person nearly killed Jia Yan with a white light attack!
This grudge seemed far from over. Since they were representatives of different civilizations, it seemed likely that the vast army of metal monsters belonged to him. Facing so many metal monsters, Jia Yan didn't think he could win.
As for why the metal monsters wanted to kill him, he understood after some thought. It was because he had been absorbing the things they had been mining, especially after he absorbed a piece of azure metal, the so-called 'star condensate.' The metal monsters wanted him dead because he was disrupting their mining activities, much like cutting off their source of income.
It made sense why the red light structures the metal monsters built attacked the flying object, but spared him slightly.
Suddenly, everything clicked for Jia Yan. He understood a lot.
"But those three spider creatures have already been completely destroyed in our battles. I wonder if they managed to send a signal through some special means before they died to bring back their civilization's exploration ships."
The woman added.
"Now you know our origins! I find it strange that a mere mosquito from Earth could evolve so rapidly in a few months. Although chance and the influence of the star condensate played a role, your progress is remarkable, Mr. Mosquito!"
The woman finished her explanation, her curiosity evident as she looked at Jia Yan.
Although there were still some mysteries or questions in her explanation, Jia Yan was grateful for her detailed explanation. Even if she didn't delve deeper, he felt satisfied.
For her part, the woman seemed to understand Jia Yan's inability to communicate. She sighed softly.
"Mr. Mosquito, I brought you to my spacecraft to discuss something with you."
"I want you to join me in stopping the other civilization from launching a signal and destroying their signal relay base! If you can do that, once I call back my civilization's exploration ship, I will persuade them to protect all life on Earth, and even return the planet to you after mining is complete. What do you say?"
Jia Yan was taken aback. He didn't know what a signal relay base was, and he felt his combat abilities were insignificant compared to these powerful spacecraft. Yet, the owner of this spacecraft was asking for his help?
He seemed to ask, "Am I so weak that you need my help?"
"Mr. Mosquito, perhaps you don't realize that you have embarked on the path of an evolutionary beast. Although you are still a relatively weak one, with some help from me, your strength can increase rapidly. Furthermore, I can provide you with some evolutionary methods for your reference. With those materials, even if you become a great 'cosmic behemoth' one day, it's not an impossible feat. So, what do you say? Do you accept this deal?"
After her speech, the woman smiled enchantingly at Jia Yan.
Evolutionary beast? Cosmic behemoth? What are these things?
Jia Yan looked at the woman. After listening to so much, he seemed to have heard the most important thing about himself!
What is an evolutionary beast? And what about the cosmic behemoth?
After pondering for a moment, the woman waved her hand, and a book of about a dozen pages appeared from a metal wall, hovering in her hand.
Then, with a smile, she placed the book in front of Jia Yan.
"This is the information on evolutionary beasts. As for the cosmic behemoth, you don't need to know about it for now. If you are willing to join me in battle, I will teach you the methods of evolution for evolutionary beasts, as well as the skills you can learn!"
After saying this, she slowly retreated, a smile on her face, and the metal wall behind her automatically opened a hole large enough for one person to pass through. Jia Yan peered through the crack and saw a colorful array of technologically advanced lights.
"My name is Daphne. If you decide, I'll be there!"
Her voice gradually faded behind the metal wall...
Jia Yan looked at the closing metal wall, then at the video of Earth slowly shrinking away. He couldn't sense the end of the image of Earth receding.
After a while, Earth had shrunk to the size of a basketball.
Jia Yan sighed deeply in his heart. After this series of events, he hadn't come to his senses yet. Now, finally, he could quiet down and think!
This woman, according to her own account, was the representative of one of the three alien civilizations that came to Earth. And, by the looks of it, she seemed to hold the most sway among the forces left behind by her civilization on Earth.
Or, apart from this flying object, the civilization might not have any other forces left on Earth. That's why they were even seeking the assistance of a creature like Jia Yan.
