Chapter 591 Sprouting, Qualified Carrier

Du Keng died and Mao Chuan took his place.

Because this result had already been prepared, it did not cause much stir.

Their original powers and interests have been dealt with, and the handover process was very smooth.

Mao Chuan sat smoothly in Du Keng’s original seat. The invasion of the dark evil god and the knowledge flowing out of the stones of the Star Defense Corps made him gradually understand everything.

On his left hand side, the originally shriveled fruit in the stone cup had become very round, and a new bud had sprouted.

Obviously, before Du Keng died, he allowed this fruit to take root and sprout.

At the same time, he also saw the skull floating on the stone of the Star Defense Corps.

“So, Commander Du made a deal with you?” Mao Chuan asked with a little discomfort.

The skull was covered with a thin layer of flesh and blood, and part of Du Keng’s shadow could be seen from the outer outline.

“Yes, he made the power of God sprout.” The skull noticed that another one had changed its position. After flying around, it landed in front of Mao Chuan.

Mao Chuan looked confused. He didn’t understand why Du Keng did this.

If Du Keng had not made a deal with the Skeleton Head and allowed the power of the gods to sprout, he could have held on for a few more days, and the subsequent development of the other party would have been more stable.

But he didn’t, instead he resolutely chose this result that even he couldn’t understand.

“Okay, I understand.” Mao Chuan didn’t ask why, nor did he have the desire to explore.

He is not Du Keng, he is Mao Chuan, they are two completely different individuals with different ideas, selves and thinking.

Mao Chuan can be Du Keng’s scapegoat, but he will not be his puppet.

At this moment, his mind was on choosing his successor.

According to his current estimate, as Du Keng said, he could only hold on for forty-five days at most, so he gave a discount directly.

Within a month, find another person willing to continue to be a scapegoat.

This candidate was relatively easy to find, so he chose Tong Ying. The two had worked together for quite a while, and Tong Ying was in good health, so he could hold on for a while longer.

As for who will be the successor to Tong Ying, that is not his concern. After all, he is dead, so who cares about the consequences?

After the candidates are selected, the next step is ideological work.

This time, the skull did not come to harass him, but instead turned into black smoke and lingered in his field of vision.

However, while Mao Chuan was thinking, his mind was gradually attracted by the fruit sprouting in the stone cup.

Some strange whispering sounds emerged in his ears.

When he came to his senses again, it seemed like an illusion.

“Have you heard the whispers of darkness?” The black smoke transformed from the skull suddenly said this.

Mao Chuan ignored the other party’s words. He was too lazy to pay attention to them.

“You are actually a qualified person, interesting.” The skull came closer and said, “Why don’t you try to accept the power of God?”

“Have you seen the Star Defense Corps Matrix? It was once a suitable carrier for receiving the power of God.”

“That’s why the super ancient civilization you mentioned was able to defeat the Dark Evil God and allow you to survive.”

“And you also have this potential.”

“But I’m surprised that you didn’t have this potential before.”

“It just appeared today, it’s like someone gave it to you out of the blue.”

“Aren’t you curious?” The skull’s tone was bewitching and guiding.

Mao Chuan narrowed his eyes and asked, “You want to talk about Professor Qi, right?”

At this moment, Mao Chuan suddenly remembered that Du Keng had inexplicably pointed the finger at Qi Sui’an before.

At first he thought it was Du Keng’s fault, but now it seems that this skull might be the one causing the discord.

He was very determined and didn’t believe what the other party said at all.

Although Qi Sui’an has never counted how many contributions he has made to mankind, he keeps them in mind.

And this skull was born from the remnants of the dark evil god or something else.

It is not easy to tell who to believe.

How could anyone be so foolish as to choose to trust the enemy and eliminate their own heroes?

“Yes, he is using humans and the dark evil god to make profits for himself.” What the skull said was true and it was also the truth.

But Mao Chuan didn’t believe a word of it.

“Don’t you think this is too absurd?” Mao Chuan was speechless: “It is true that I just took over today, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t have a brain.”

“If you want to sow discord, I don’t think you need to be so obvious or so hasty.”

“There’s still plenty of time for you and I to get along.”

He now doubted the level of this skull.

The reason why the other party was able to scare Du Keng was probably because Du Keng was corrupted by the dark evil god and became mentally confused, so he believed it.

Otherwise, with this kind of rhetoric, not to mention getting Mao Chuan to come, even an eight-year-old child might not believe it.

The skull was not angry at Mao Chuan’s words. It just let out a weird laugh and then popped and turned into a cloud of smoke.

Then, without any warning, he disappeared from Mao Chuan’s sight. “It’s really annoying.” Mao Chuan muttered, and then he heard a knock on the door.

Before he could open his mouth, the door was opened and he saw Qi Suian pushing the door open.

“Your succession is so low-key. How come there is no news at all?” Qi Sui’an sat next to him without any hesitation.

“This is not the place you should come to, Professor Qi.” Mao Chuan said in a low voice.

Qi Sui’an’s eyes fell on the fruit sprouting in the stone cup: “There is something wrong with this position.”

“Otherwise I don’t believe that Du Keng would die inexplicably.”

“There are people who are more suitable for the position than you, but you were chosen.”

“I’m not familiar with Du Keng, so it’s hard for me to ask. But you’re different. We’ve worked together for a long time, so you don’t have so many concerns.”

Of course, he asked these questions even though he knew the answer.

I’m just helping Mao Chuan.

“It’s not convenient to say, but don’t come here again in the future.” Mao Chuan naturally had no intention of telling Qi Sui’an the truth. After all, they were friends.

“Well, since I’m here now, I didn’t come empty-handed.” Qi Sui’an paused when he said this: “I went to Qionghua Island again this morning.”

Hearing this, Mao Chuan’s eyes showed doubt: “Isn’t it over already?”

Because he was busy with the replacement affairs in the morning, he did not pay attention to this matter.

“It’s already been finished, so I went over to take a look.”

“There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?” Qi Sui’an said.

Mao Chuan felt that this was too much of a coincidence, but he also said, “Bad news, what could be worse than the Dark Evil God?”

“Of course there is. The fruit in the stone cup is called the power of God by humans in the ancient civilization.”

“Once it sprouts, it will use the entire civilization as food and continue to grow.”

“Perhaps, before the Dark Evil God descends, we will first be killed by the power of this god.”

Qi Sui’an glanced at the fruit in the stone cup again.

“So, what’s the good news?” Mao Chuan’s eyes twitched. This news was indeed bad enough.

“If this thing grows up, it can defeat the Dark God once again, but it doesn’t seem to have much significance.” Qi Sui’an couldn’t help but pause when he said this: “How did you make it sprout?”

“According to the report, I remember that we need to collect all the Star Defense Corps stones as carriers to do this.”

“We are still far from it. Theoretically, it is impossible to make the fruit germinate.”

Mao Chuan also smiled bitterly: “I don’t know either, it was Du Keng.”

At this moment, Mao Chuan really felt that the situation was difficult.

Du Keng’s death is probably not that simple.

“You can look up the detailed report and data yourself, and I will find a way to help you.” Qi Sui’an said suddenly.

This made Mao Chuan pause. Help him? What could he do?

“From some of the intelligence we have obtained, there are some records that the first qualified carrier chosen by the super ancient civilization was not the Star Defense Corps Stone.”

“It’s the human beings themselves, like the corpses we saw.”

“When they first started, what they transplanted was not a supernatural being, but the Dark Evil God himself.”

“But they failed, and finally chose the Star Defense Corps Stone. If we follow this idea, we can create a new carrier to use as the transfer cost.”

“Maybe it can allow humans to hold on until the end.” Qi Sui’an said with a serious tone.

Mao Chuan was stunned after hearing this: “How sure are you?”

“Not at all.” Qi Sui’an’s words made Mao Chuan speechless. He spoke so passionately, but ended up wilting here. What a big deal.

“That’s it.” Mao Chuan said unhappily, “Just do your best.”

“I’m penniless and have no reference. Even if I want to try my best, I can’t create something out of thin air.” Qi Sui’an also replied.

“The Star Defense Corps stones cannot be given to you for research.” Mao Chuan now understood Qi Sui’an’s purpose. It turned out that this was his idea.

No wonder he was so confident and dared to come to him.

However, the Star Defense Corps is too precious and dangerous, and Mao Chuan is definitely unwilling to do so.

But soon, a sentence said by the skull suddenly emerged in his mind, that is, he was also a qualified carrier of the power of God.

Maybe give it a try?
He only has a few days left to live, so he might as well make the best use of his resources and cooperate with Qi Suian.

If he really figures out something, then his death would be worthwhile.

“If you don’t mind, I can find you a suitable carrier.” Mao Chuan said directly.

“You?” Qi Sui’an looked at him suspiciously. “What are these? Qualification and carrier, these two are either related to the Dark Evil God or the super ancient civilization. Where are you going to find them?”

“Far away in the sky, yet close at hand!” Mao Chuan pointed at himself and said, “Does it count as me?”

“Okay!” Qi Sui’an was waiting for him to say this, so he nodded without hesitation, indicating that it was your turn: “Then when do we start?”

Seeing Qi Sui’an being so straightforward, Mao Chuan suddenly realized that the other party’s target from the beginning was him.

All those twists and turns mentioned above were fake.
