Chapter 594: Chapter 588: Shocking Revelation

Finn Lewis didn’t understand the pity on the man’s face, but he could tell that the pity was directed towards him, and not because there was anything wrong with the situation itself. It seemed as if they thought hearing this would make Finn seem cruel.

“I reckon you shouldn’t know these things at this time. You’re still too weak,” Zero’s voice suddenly rang out.

“You finally showed up. I was wondering when you’d make an appearance,” Finn Lewis said directly.

The man was taken aback, not understanding what Finn Lewis meant. He looked around subconsciously, and Finn waved his hand dismissively and said, “It has nothing to do with you, wait a moment.”

“Zero? I guess it’s time you explained why you sought me out. I don’t think it’s solely because I was shouting like an idiot near the river, is it? I suspect it has something to do with my identity?” Finn Lewis was no fool, especially after having consumed lots of Intelligence Potion. His IQ could undoubtedly rank among the elite on the entire planet.

“Okay, I admit, it has a lot to do with your identity. As these two have said, you indeed are royalty in the Galactic Federation. What they’ve said is correct. It doesn’t matter who bore you, what matters is your life gene code. That is most important. At least according to the laws of the Galactic Federation, they recognize this. Of course, it is indeed very accurate,” Zero said bluntly.

“I don’t want to hear these platitudes,” Finn Lewis interrupted Zero, “What is your purpose?” Finn Lewis asked the question he had been wanting to ask all along. He didn’t believe that Zero would directly jump in and help him, and all simply because of his asinine identity.

“You don’t need to know these things. What you need to know is that even with your Federation identity, their technological power falls short of mine. You need to know that my technology level surpasses theirs. You don’t need to know anything else now; you just have to complete my tasks. I believe you’re smart enough to understand that these circumstances are only beneficial for you,” Zero’s voice suddenly turned assertive.

Finn Lewis was becoming exasperated. Damn, every time he got to the crucial point, this happened. Finn Lewis promptly gave Zero the middle finger, then hastily interjected, “Alright, you keep quiet. But if I find out from someone else, don’t try to stop me.”

After saying this, Finn Lewis ignored Zero, who seemed to have no further objections and disappeared. Finn Lewis then turned his attention back to the man, “You can continue.”

“Well, your highness, the fact is quite simple. You already know about extracting plant essence, right? It’s similar to that. Life essence is also extracted from superior life forms, and the most effective for humans naturally is the life essence extracted from humans themselves. Hence, many people sneak to such planets that allow human reproduction, and execute such a plan to let humans start developing. After the planetary population reaches several billions, they send people to harvest,” the man said.

Even though Finn Lewis was prepared for all sorts of revelations, when he heard this sentence, he admitted, he was utterly shocked. He heard the two words the man used, harvest!

“What do you mean by?” Finn Lewis asked, his voice slightly hoarse. But he only asked half the question, as he daren’t inquire about the other half.

“Yes, you’re right, your highness. It means exactly that. To roundup the people of a planet and send them into a factory, to extract life essence from their bodies. This life essence is what they use to prolong their lives. The bodies of 10 adults can produce 100 milliliters of life essence. To extend a person’s life by a hundred years, about 1000 liters of life essence is needed,” the man told him all in one breath.

Finn Lewis was stunned. With his current IQ, he could immediately calculate the specific figures. 100 milliliters equals 10 adults, 1 liter equals 100 adults, and 1000 liters equals 100,000 adults.

And that so-called extraction of life essence… How is plant essence extracted? There’s no need to think about it. Once anyone enters such a factory, it’s definite they won’t come out alive.

“Ten adults finally condensed into 100 milliliters of transparent liquid, nothing more,” the man delivered the final blow to Finn Lewis.

100,000 lives! Just to extend a person’s life by a hundred years! But Finn Lewis knew that, even here on Earth, if anyone learned they could trade 100,000 lives for a hundred years of their own, he believed, there would certainly be people who would do it. Historically, there have been many such people, and such things have happened many times.

“What do you mean by harvesting?” Finn Lewis turned back and looked at the man.

“Yes, they gather all the people on the whole planet and haul them into their factories. Billions of people are enough to satisfy the needs of tens of thousands of people,” the man nodded and said.

Finn Lewis felt his neck stiffen. He didn’t know what to say for a while. What is this? Butchery? The death toll is calculated by what measure? The unit is in billions! And it involves an entire planet’s population!

This is the true purpose of the so-called origin plan? Maybe initially, the plan was benevolent, but now, it’s evidently become some people’s tool. The difference is that they are serving higher-level beings.

Perhaps, people like those on Earth, in their eyes, are no longer considered human. They are seen as a kind of cargo, a kind of commodity, a sort of consumable. Perhaps, many other planets’ human populations were cultivated like rice, and then harvested?

“Your highness, Earth is your private star zone. It’s quite remote. According to Federation law, it’s considered your personal territory. In your personal territory, anything, no matter what, is permissible,” the man couldn’t help but add.

“You mean to say, this includes the action you just described?” Finn Lewis asked coldly.

“Yes, including actions like these. Forgive my bluntness. Even if the technology on Earth advances a few hundred more years, it would still prove difficult to confront them. The power of both sides is not on the same level, and Earth is already being targeted,” the man said.

“Even though I’m still a bit confused, but those people who carry out such acts, who execute such plans—what’s the point of them living? They should go to hell,” Finn Lewis said coldly.
