Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 405 - 112: Ah Long: Miss Athena, I’ve Found Yu Jin!

"Divine Bloodline..."

Inside the Governor’s mansion on the State Planet.

Cao Fang murmured these words, various thoughts swirling in her mind.

The information Athena revealed was extremely secretive.

Yu Jin is a descendant of the Divine Bloodline?

Cao Fang had no doubts about it.

Along the way in "Wasteland," not only her, but any subordinate from Dawn City had no objections to Yu Jin’s abilities and methods.

Even...

When Yu Jin returned to Blue Star with Old Yu those few days.

At the State Survivor Base, Old Yu also talked to Cao Fang about these thoughts.

"Xiaojin..."

"Is not an ordinary person!"

"His true background might have significant implications!"

"In that Star System Wasteland, Xiaojin and all other players were not on the same level, just like..."

"A cheater in the ’Wasteland’ game, like its favored son!"

Old Yu’s words at that time now echoed in Cao Fang’s ears again across time.

Sigh—

Cao Fang let out a long breath.

She also recalled the letter left for Yu Jin by the orphanage director.

What was written in that letter, neither she, Yu Limin, nor Yu Chen knew.

But...

Yu Jin’s reaction after reading that letter was still vivid in Cao Fang’s memory.

"Did Xiaojin know early on that he is of Divine Bloodline?"

This speculation emerged in Cao Fang’s mind, but she couldn’t confirm it.

In fact, there was no need to confirm it.

Even though Yu Jin was not her biological child, over the years, he had become no different from her own blood to Cao Fang.

So...

"It doesn’t matter, none of this matters."

"No matter what Xiaojin’s origin is, as long as he’s safe, as long as he has me, Old Yu, and Ah Chen in his heart, that’s enough."

Cao Fang’s feelings gradually calmed down.

On the other side.

Observing Cao Fang’s reaction, Athena was secretly surprised.

Cao Fang had told Athena about her situation.

Athena also knew—

Before the arrival of "Wasteland," this aunt was merely an ordinary housewife, managing an extremely simple little diner.

And now?

With the truth of cosmic civilization revealed, Cao Fang’s reaction was not as intense as expected.

After a brief shock, she quickly calmed down and accepted this information.

"Xiaoya."

Cao Fang’s voice sounded again.

"That cosmic genius war you mentioned..."

"Are there other participants besides Xiaojin?"

Athena was slightly taken aback by this question, then she answered honestly:

"Yes."

"I will also participate, as Yu Jin’s teammate."

"If he is willing to accept me as a teammate."

"Moreover..."

"The form of the Cosmic Genius War is not individual combat, but a struggle for power."

"So..."

"If Yu Jin can make it to this Cosmic Genius War, our Ophelia Clan and even other Federation families will invest substantial resources, including but not limited to fortress battleships, military soldiers, etc..."

Cao Fang nodded, then asked:

"Besides you all, are there others?"

"Like you mentioned... the Divine Bloodline?"

Cao Fang keenly grasped the key point.

"..."

Athena was momentarily silent.

After a brief hesitation, she chose to tell the truth:

"There is another one."

"His name is Han Ling, also a descendant of the Divine Bloodline."

"And..."

"He’s already established connections with some families within the Federation, and in all likelihood, will arrive at the Ophelia Federation in just over four months."

"My, my father, and my clan are so eager to find Yu Jin quickly for this reason."

"If Yu Jin does not appear in time to catch this Cosmic Genius War..."

"Then the resources of the Ophelia Federation, and even the clan I belong to, might all tilt towards that Han Ling, a descendant of the Divine Bloodline."

Toward the end, Athena’s tone contained a hint of reluctance.

She did not like Han Ling.

Even putting aside Yu Jin, her impression of Han Ling was not good.

During the previous trip to the Drake-3 Star System Wasteland, she had noticed the arrogance and offense in Han Ling’s eyes.

Such an attitude...

She had never seen in Yu Jin.

Not to mention—

When it comes to the purity of the Divine Bloodline, Athena was convinced that even a hundred Han Lings would not compare to Yu Jin.

"Han Ling..."

Cao Fang muttered the name twice and then shook her head.

"Never heard of him."

"But definitely not as formidable as my Xiaojin."

Cao Fang looked serious.

Hearing this, Athena smiled and concurred: "Of course."

Just as she finished speaking.

[Beep—!]

Suddenly.

A sharp and urgent mechanical sound abruptly rang out, interrupting their conversation.

Athena’s expression changed slightly.

This was the alert tone for her personal communicator.

But...

Under normal circumstances.

Even her most trusted subordinates wouldn’t suddenly contact her without notice at such a time.

"An emergency situation?"

Athena’s heart moved slightly, she first apologized to Cao Fang, then waved her hand.

Swoosh—

A communication projection visible only to her appeared.

On screen was the rough face of a middle-aged man.

"Ah Long?"

The caller caught Athena by surprise.

She even momentarily forgot when she had given him access to her personal communicator.

But...

The next second.

All of Athena’s thoughts vanished.

Her mind, her emotions, and even all the blood in her body, completely stagnated because of a simple statement from Ah Long on the screen.

"Miss Athena!"

"I have found Lord Yu Jin’s whereabouts!"

...

...

Time rewinds slightly.
