"Brother Fan... has been taken away by the Evolution Divine Teachings."

In a shabby room within the Lower City District of the Thirteenth District, the room was packed with numerous Non-human Aliens.

On the kang bed, a short-haired girl with shoulder-length hair hugged her legs, hiding most of her face in her knees, leaving exposed a pair of exceptionally rare light purple eyes.

Her gaze was filled with endless guilt.

Among the crowd, a slightly older Non-human Alien suddenly lost his balance and staggered. The nearby Non-human Aliens quickly reached out to support him: "Uncle Fan, don't be like this. Xiaoxing was just taken away; it doesn't necessarily mean something bad will happen."

"Yes, now that he's not here, you need to hold things together. Everything here is the result of his efforts."

The sudden words forced Uncle Fan to pull himself together, exclaiming with grief and anger, "How could this happen, and why precisely at the critical moment when we were about to head to the Ninth District?"

"He said he would prove to me that humans can resist pollution traits."

Fan Shixing was his only son. Back when he encountered mishap in the Wilderness, with all his teammates perishing, only he, by consuming a large amount of beast meat, managed to drag his broken body back to the Thirteenth District.

However, he found that the pollution traits accumulated too much in his body, and his Qi and Blood could not dissipate them; parts of his body began to show mutation.

Initially, he merely lamented fate, without much sorrow.

After all, within this Thirteenth District occupied by the Evolution Divine Teachings, there were still quite a number of Non-human Aliens, and it was no longer surprising to people.

Moreover, the extent to which pollution traits eroded individuals varied.

Some could maintain their rationality for over ten years, while others crossed into the Mature Body stage within one or two years.

Thus, he frequently ventured into the Wilderness, hoping to pave a future for his son during the uncertain limited lucid times.

But unexpectedly, the heavens seemed to play a joke on him.

The rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune chooses the suffering.

In less than a year's time, he felt his rationality dissipating at an alarming rate, with a call for slaughter from within that might threaten his son's safety.

Hence, he hid away.

Unexpectedly, his clever son found him through some means.

And even showed off a grotesque arm, as if boasting of an achievement. In that moment, he had the urge to strangle this son.

But Fan Shixing proudly told him that he had gone through a large amount of information and discovered that pollution traits aren't impossible to resist. The original Evolution Divine Teachings were the best example, each immensely powerful, even able to unite with the Mechanical Divine Hall to repel the first wave of Fierce Beast invasion.

In the end, his large palm refrained from landing.

Helplessly, he had to accept reality. The two relied on each other, searching for ways, and his rationality's descent was delayed for as much as five years.

During this period, they persuaded a group of like-minded Non-human Aliens, sharing the experiences gained.

At this moment, the girl on the kang bed buried her head deeper, blaming herself: "Uncle Fan, it's all my fault. I could have killed all those people, but Brother Fan, he..."

Recalling Brother Fan's stopping glance at that time, the regret in her heart deepened.

Why did I follow orders like that...

If I had taken action regardless of the consequences, would Brother Fan Shixing not be in a state of life-and-death uncertainty like now?

Understanding the power of the Evolution Divine Teachings base in the Thirteenth District, Uncle Fan had to calm down and analyze: "Xiaoyan, this isn't your fault. If Shixing was taken away, it proves he was targeted by the Evolution Divine Teachings long ago. Even if you forcefully killed the opponents."

"Once they dispatched Apostle Level powerhouses, with your current strength, you both might just end up captured."

"I guess Shixing stopped you to preserve you, because you are the hope for everyone..."

The only exception among those eroded by pollution traits, whose body hasn't mutated, and the hope Shi Xing has always sought to protect.

He silently filled in this sentence in his heart.

"Then what do we do now, proceed as planned to the Ninth District?" someone asked, unable to hold back.

These people.

All sympathetic, willing to suppress the beast within, pursued the originally intended Evolution Divine Teachings through Fan Shixing's persuasion.

Especially when Fan Shixing miraculously found Xiaoyan, everyone firmly believed one thing in their hearts: humans who could coexist with pollution traits truly existed in this world.

"No, with Brother Fan's life and death unknown, how can we calmly head to the Ninth District." Xiaoyan lifted her head, her face like cold frost, rebuking.

"Then let's hide for a while and see how the situation unfolds before deciding what to do."

"No need, knowing Brother Fan, I'm sure he wouldn't involve everyone, otherwise, the Evolution Divine Teachings should have come for me." At this point, Xiaoyan seemed to step out of her sorrow, calmly analyzing.

This statement made the person opposite lower their head in shame.

"Neither this nor that, are we really just sitting here waiting?" But someone still worried.

Xiaoyan thought for a while, her gaze bright as she spoke to Uncle Fan: "I need a large amount of pollution traits..."

Uncle Fan, understanding her intention without needing to think, flatly denied: "Xiaoyan, don't do anything foolish. According to Shixing's calculations, although your constitution is very special, it doesn't mean you can bear unlimited pollution traits. Once a certain threshold is exceeded, your body will also mutate."

"I'm not afraid."

Uncle Fan grew anxious: "It's not about fear. The Evolution Divine Teachings in the Thirteenth District has quite a few Apostle Level beings. Even if you reach the Apostle Level, it doesn't necessarily mean you can save Shixing!"

Although he desperately wanted to save his son, he firmly disagreed with Xiaoyan's plan. Opposing the Evolution Divine Teachings' stronghold wasn't something she could handle at her current stage.

"Are we really going to sit back and do nothing?"

Uncle Fan, turning around, looked up at the sky outside: "Wait."

"Perhaps Shixing will be fine."

"Perhaps a miracle will happen."

...

In the spacious basement.

A headless corpse... no, actually, half a head, was slowly reconstructing itself, even the injuries on the body were healing little by little.

At the foot of the stone steps, Ruan Maoshan stood motionless, his expression calm as if he had expected this.

It took more than half a day.

At the moment the corpse's head reconstructed, Fan Shixing's mind instantaneously returned.

He shook his head, standing up like a zombie, dazedly touching his head, his eyes filled with shock: "I... wasn't I dead?"

Opposite him, Ruan Maoshan sneered, "Guess... are you still the original you?"

Fan Shixing stared directly at Ruan Maoshan, then carefully sensed the state of his body, and... his face drastically changed.

He couldn't help but retreat several steps.

Because he sensed a soon uncontainable... beastly nature at the deep soul level!

He felt his head about to explode again, in a daze, as if he lost something important, something even he couldn't remember.

The intense pain compelled him to kneel, clutching his head with both hands.

Let out a frantic scream.

"What... have you done to me!!!"

Ruan Maoshan calmly responded, "What you know, may be the Radical Faction slaughtering the Conservative Faction, which isn't wrong."

"But you forgot to think more, like why the Radical Faction could bring down the entire thriving Evolution Divine Teachings so quickly!"

"That's because—"

"The original Non-human Aliens' so-called method of resisting the pollution traits' erosion on reasoning was to protect the head from erosion..."

"Once their heads are crushed, at the brink of death, the pollution traits remodel them, they become part of the Radical Faction."

"Whenever a Conservative dies, a Radical is reborn, it's no surprise the Conservative Faction is extinct!"

"So, congratulations, you're now one of us."

Upon hearing these words, Fan Shixing, at the thought of becoming what he despised most, uncontrollably unleashed his destructive desire, echoing back and forth in the empty basement.

At this moment.

Over the grassland several hundred miles from the Thirteenth District.

An imposing battleship slowly descended in altitude.

Several figures abruptly descended from above.

After days of travel, Su Qi and his group finally arrived at the Thirteenth District.
