I have a space station

Ling Wu took a plane west, crossing northern Siberia to reach the Altai region of Oros.

Then, heading southwest, he crossed Asakstan, and about 1,000 kilometers from the Caspian Sea, the signal suddenly disappeared.

The place where he disappeared belongs to the northern region of the newly established Modo United Republic.

Although contact was lost, at least one conclusion can be drawn: there must be some connection between this Manichaeism and the newly established Modo United Republic.

Uzakstan, a small city named Mui Na.

"Ling Wu, what brings you back this time?" Three elders sat cross-legged in the main hall.

"Elder, some issues have arisen with Kurtak, and Ling Wu has come to plead guilty." Ling Wu bowed and said.

"Is it related to Ling Yue?" one of the elders asked.

"Elder is wise."

"Tell us about it."

"Yes!"

Ling Wu then recounted the events in detail.

"Regarding Ling Yue's pursuit of Ling Luo, did you witness it yourself?" the elder asked after listening to the account.

"I did not see it. However, Senior Brother Ling Yue did not deny it when confronted face to face." Ling Wu replied.

"Hmph! Ling Wu, daring to disobey the elder's order, do you know your crime?" the elder scolded.

"Ling Wu knows his crime!" Ling Wu did not argue.

"Considering you voluntarily returned to report, we will not pursue the matter further. However, Ling Luo's open defiance cannot be forgiven. Here is a Pill of Ascension for you to take back to him!" the elder said.

Beautifully named the Pill of Ascension, it is actually poison.

"Elder, Senior Brother Ling Luo was also driven to a dead end, with no other choice. I beg you to show mercy." Ling Wu quickly pleaded.

"Impudence! Ling Wu, you are becoming more and more unruly!" another elder scolded.

"Ling Wu dares not!" He could only shut up helplessly.

"You may leave!"

"Yes!"

… …

On the 18th, a little after ten in the morning, Ling Wu dejectedly returned to Kurtak.

"Ling Wu, what did the elders say?" Ling Luo hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry!" Ling Wu burst into tears.

He cried like a child, loudly and heart-wrenchingly.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Ling Luo quickly handed him a tissue.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have gone back!" Ling Wu was still crying.

"What did the elders say?" Ling Luo knew something was wrong.

"The elders gave you a Pill of Ascension!" Ling Wu raised his hand, holding a small porcelain bottle.

"What the f***…" Hearing the words "Pill of Ascension," Ling Luo wanted to curse.

After acting for so long, investing so much capital, and deceiving so many people, in the end, he failed to deceive the elders and was instead sentenced to death!

"Why… why?" Ling Luo asked, pretending to be very disappointed.

"I don't know either! After I finished explaining the situation, the elders didn't allow me to argue and made the decision directly." Ling Wu replied while crying.

"Ling Yue was the one who wanted to kill me! How could this happen?"

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry!"

"No, I'm going back, I want to personally explain to the elders!" Ling Luo ran out in despair, and Ling Wu did not stop him.

Ling Luo was destined to die, why would he stop him?

In reality, seeing that he couldn't shift the blame, Ling Luo lost interest in staying.

He did not return to the elders' hall but instead returned to the Golden City.

Now, there was definitely no place for him in Manichaeism, so he could only follow Dongfang Chen down this path to the end.

Currently, the third phase of the underground base in the Golden City had been completed, capable of housing 300,000 people at the same time.

However, the several settlements he currently controlled had a total population of nearly 3 million, and the scale of the base was far from sufficient.

Of course, Dongfang Chen wouldn't build it for him for free; he still had to provide the necessary resources.

… …

July 20, 2056 AD.

Valeriy, the President of Oros, personally visited the Ulan Neutral Zone.

After the fall of the survival base along the Volga River, Valeriy had been staying at a military base in the North Siberian region.

"Mr. Valeriy, it is an honor to meet you." Dongfang Chen shook his hand and smiled.

"Mr. Dongfang, you look even younger than the legends say." Valeriy had a loud voice and seemed very cheerful.

"Is that so? Can I take that as a compliment?" Dongfang Chen said with slight surprise.

"Of course, it's a compliment. It's good to be young!" Valeriy seemed to be speaking from the heart.

"Mr. Valeriy, please have a seat." Entering the reception room, Dongfang Chen gestured with his hand.

Valeriy returned the gesture, and the two sat down at the same time.

"Mr. Dongfang, I have come here uninvited today, actually, to ask for something." Valeriy said.

"Mr. Valeriy, you are too kind. We have always had a pleasant合作 relationship, and I believe that in the general direction of mutual benefit and win-win, we can maintain this relationship as always." Dongfang Chen smiled.

What he meant was that they had been doing business before, and they were still doing business now. This kind of cooperation was very good and didn't need to be changed.

The deeper meaning was that trading was okay, but pure help was out of the question.
