Zhou Yi withdrew from the BGM world.

He looked at Sun Hao: "Can the Angel of Death have offspring?"

The black-robed young man was treating the Big Buddha, while he said, "Yes. However, I am currently incapable of it. It requires consuming a lot of power and life to nurture a new life form."

So it really is like that.

"What is your relationship with her?" Zhou Yi pointed to the half-human, half-beast Angel of Death.

"She and I have a very close relationship; this connection doesn't come from the consciousness cube, I can't describe it. My consciousness is closely tied to Jade City, but I can sense that she bears no ill will towards me, and we can generate a certain special resonance."

The young man's face appeared somewhat perplexed: "I don't know what exactly her relationship to me is... Father, could you please not harm her?"

"I won't. Don't worry."

Zhou Yi said.

In the worst case, I would transform her into a Fire Seed Life and imprint her onto my shoulder.

It would be too wasteful to kill a Skywalker.

Zhou Yi immersed himself back into the BGM world.

The Angel of Death still looked at him with hostility: "What did you do to my son? You took my son, and now you want to take me too, what kind of monster are you!"

"..."

Zhou Yi found it difficult to explain this matter.

So.

He changed his approach, going on the offensive: "Fine. You say Sun Hao is your son, but have you ever taken care of him? You haven't."

"From his mushroom form to his final hatching, who was caring for him? It was us."

"Seeing the child grow healthy and acquire good abilities, you come back to claim him. If that is being a mother, then it's all too easy, even easier than a bird; at least birds know to protect their nests and eggs and feed their young."

The Angel of Death trembled with anger: "You... you..."

Zhou Yi continued the attack: "Do you know how much effort and hard work our company has put into raising Sun Hao? You don't. You just hide in the Dead Sea, spying from a distance, waiting for us to raise him healthy and then come to reap the rewards."

"You are the one who wants to snatch the child."

"I am that child's foster father, and you are just a stranger with a blood relation."

The girl in white fell silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, "So that's how it is, I was wrong. Since you are that child's foster father, and I am his mother, then we are fellow people, right?"

"Now I want to take good care of him, make up for what was lacking before, and that's for the child's sake too."

"You raised him and let him break out of his shell, as a mother I indeed should compensate. Whatever you want, we can talk, I will try my best to satisfy you, as long as it allows the child to recognize me."

Her swift change of face caught Zhou Yi off guard.

He murmured in his heart.

The Angel of Death's furious and frantic behaviors were actually purposeful probes for information.

Misjudgment.

But Zhou Yi didn't care.

Because the situation was still firmly under his control.

Zhou Yi looked at her: "My condition is, join our company, become one of our own."

"Fine."

The girl in white agreed almost without hesitation.

Now it was Zhou Yi's turn to be uncertain.

"This is indeed a good method."

The Angel of Death, sensing his concerns, unfolded her thoughts: "Our conflict lies in the fact that we both need that child. If we become part of the same camp, then this problem will be solved easily."

"But, Mr. Chairman of Wasteland Development Company, are you really sure about accepting an Angel of Death?"

The girl wore a challenging smile: "I have committed several major crimes, and I am on the blacklists of several parties, bringing endless trouble and calamity; are you sure you dare to accept me?"

Zhou Yi said: "Yes."

She was somewhat surprised: "Your company has just been sanctioned by Mechanical City, and if you get sanctioned by Heavenly Kingdom, can you really withstand it?"

"I can withstand it."

Zhou Yi's expression was calm.

This matter was actually quite simple for him.

If she was being hunted by various parties, then just convert her into a Fire Seed Life and settle her, just like the identity-sensitive Tietie.

After all, having another A-level employee is always a win for the company.

Now it was the Angel of Death's turn to be silent.

After a while.

She spoke again: "You are indeed as the rumors describe from the outside world, having both courage and grandeur."

"Thank you."

"You do me a favor, and I'll join; if not, then this proposal is null and void."

"Speak."

The Angel of Death slowly said: "In the Forbidden Continent deep in the east of the Dead Sea, I have an enemy."

"Also because it severely injured me, leading me to recuperate in the Dead Sea. I chose to stay near this area because I was once familiar with it. But I didn't expect that the child could be born here. So I came to take him away."

Forbidden Continent?

Zhou Yi, puzzled, asked, "What place is that?"

"You don't know?"

The girl looked slightly surprised, "Although most of this world is under the control of Heavenly Kingdom and Mechanical City and subjected to Radiation, there are places beyond their reach and interference. Forbidden Continent is one of them."

"Flying Star would also malfunction there, unable to capture the true image of the surface from high above. It's suicide for outside life to enter without a Level B; even regular monsters there possess the strength of Level C."

She pointed upwards with her hand.

"Even they cannot set foot on Forbidden Continent."

Zhou Yi became interested, "Heavenly People cannot control Forbidden Continent? Forgive my frankness, but I find that hard to believe."

"I know, it sounds unimaginable."

The girl showed understanding, obviously aware of the terror of the Heavenly People.

"But that is the truth."

"The place blocks outside observation, whether through any devices or by using personal abilities to observe, no one can get the real results. Those projected Heavenly People, once they enter the Forbidden Continent, would also disconnect from their projected bodies, thus they are unable to enter."

"There are various theories about the specific reasons, but most believe that Forbidden Continent possesses a forbidden power, which not only blocks external observation and consciousness projection but also causes endless strong Radiation, leading to the accelerated consumption of life; this is also the origin of its name."

"There are three major wonders in the area: Meat Mountain, Golden Elephant Valley, and Spark Plain. Many believe the special power of Forbidden Continent is related to these three."

"The advantages and disadvantages of Forbidden Continent are quite obvious."

Angel of Death said, "There are also no rules there, various dangerous characters lurk to avoid outside surveillance and arrest. Life and death depend on one's own abilities."

"On the other hand, it is isolated from the world, possibly the freest and most hidden place in this world."

"Although it has innumerably many disadvantages, this advantage is enough."

Zhou Yi silently noted down the name.

It seems there are still many areas in the Inner Sea left to explore.

"In the part of Forbidden Continent near Meat Mountain, there's a huge Alien. It occupies over 10,000 acres of land, composed of numerous buildings, truly a behemoth, the biggest Alien I know of."

The girl said solemnly, "It is known as 'Dragon Palace', which can enhance various abilities of a life, as long as one passes specific tests, they can obtain its help and power."

"Usually, the longer one stays inside, the greater the enhancement."

Dragon Palace?

Zhou Yi asked, "Is this Dragon Palace in water?"

"Not at all. Why do you ask? Do you know about the Dragon Palace?"

"According to the Dead Sea Documents, descriptions of Dragon Palace from the era of gods are all underwater or in the sea."

The other party uttered, "No, it's not like that. The reason it's called Dragon Palace is that there's a dragon there, the master of the Dragon Palace is a dragon."

Zhou Yi's eyes widened in astonishment, "Dragon? Which kind of dragon are you talking about?"

He raised both hands, clawing and baring teeth, "Is it the kind that walks around, eating other animals?"

"Or the kind that flies?"

"..."

The girl fell silent.

"In this world, there is only one dragon...what are you talking about?"

"A dragon is a Concept Life, having claws and scales, shaped like a giant serpent, but that's just its common form...there are not so many types!"

Zhou Yi touched his chin.

So, not a dinosaur or a flying dragon.

It's a genuine, classical Chinese dragon.

"I'm sorry, please continue."

The girl adjusted her emotions a bit, took a couple of deep breaths, before speaking, "Over at Dragon Palace, I had a child there once, her name was Nian Gao."

"Just like here, she was cultivated using Building Life… Her seeds were spread later, but she was born earlier than those here, a Hunter like myself."

"Like me, a Hunter has the ability to extract life enhancements from other beings," the girl briefly explained. "And like the child here, able to heal and repair Consciousness, that's a Healer."

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

The Angel of Death indeed has two distinct branches.

"Are all Hunters like you, white female, and Healers dark male forms?"

"No. White are Hunters, black are Healers; it has no necessary relation to the human form traits."

The girl continued, "Nian Gao was highly gifted; shortly after birth, she passed the difficult tests at Dragon Palace and went inside for further training."

"She first underwent a 4-year training, then completed a 3-year second stage training, and finally, a 5-year tertiary training also successfully achieved… her abilities were greatly enhanced."

Zhou Yi listened.

This Dragon Palace sounds like a university, 4-year undergrad, 3-year master's, 5-year PhD graduation?

"However, a dragon appeared."

"It took away my daughter!"

The girl spoke bitterly, "Nian Gao said she will no longer be an Angel of Death, she wants to be Dragon's Inheritor!"

Zhou Yi listened, stunned.

But.

To be fair.

Being a Dragon's Inheritor does sound more promising than being an Angel of Death…
