‘Do I not smell like a human?’

‘You do, but not a lot.’

‘For some reason, when I look at you, I feel very close to you.’

‘Perhaps because we are both humans.’

‘But you want to kill me?’

‘Because you are my enemy.’

‘I’ve truly never thought about being your enemy.
From the moment I saw you, I knew that I would never be able to attack you.’

‘Whatever you say.’

Pod had been serving as the go-between for Xia Fei and Mingjing this entire time.
After several dozen rounds, poor Pod felt rather dizzy.

Mingjing was very curious about humans, but Xia Fei’s answers were always very wary.
From her words, it was easy to see that the girl was not very shrewd and barely understood anything, and she instinctively felt a desire to get close to Xia Fei.

‘Perhaps Mingjing really is a girl who doesn’t understand anything?’ Xia Fei asked himself.

Shaking his head, Xia Fei quickly cast aside this childish thought.
‘Xia Fei, Mingjing is High Priest Ryun’s disciple and is your enemy.
Sympathizing with your enemy is being cruel to oneself.
You have to remember that.’

Black Peak Ridge was not actually a mountain range but rather the name of a planet.

This planet’s terrain could be described as steep.
High peaks and craggy stone forests could be seen throughout, and the largest black mountain had a height of ten thousand meters, its black mountain face piercing through the clouds, occupying more than half of the planet’s surface.
It was from this that the planet derived its name.

Vampire descended into a valley.
The complicated mountainous terrain made these valleys natural hiding spots.
A warship that descended into them would be very hard to find.

Xia Fei followed Halleh off the ship, Furball sitting on his shoulder.
As for Mingjing, Halleh had wrapped her up in darkness as she floated in the air.

Halleh had to control Mingjing’s ability to prevent her from reporting back to High Priest Ryun constantly.
Thus, no matter what, he could not be too far away from Mingjing.

There were many bridges connecting the mountains, as well as uneven stone steps.
Xia Fei noticed that there were many eyes peering at him in the distance.
It was clear that this planet, rather than being deserted, had many insectoids living on it.

“This place can be considered a sort of training ground.
We select strong warriors among the members of our race and bring them here for training, to be ready when they are needed,” Halleh explained.

As they passed through a set of alloy metal doors, they walked through a stone corridor, of which the walls were covered in intricate murals.
Such elegance was rare in the insectoid race.
It was clear that Halleh had not been lying when he said that the insectoid intellectuals yearned for human life.

Past the corridor was a large reception hall.
Several unfamiliar insectoid elders were standing here to welcome Halleh.
Xia Fei greeted them one by one.
Since all these old insectoids looked at him with strange looks, Xia Fei decided not to meet their eyes.

Halleh turned on the screen, and Qingyan’s father, Qingliu, appeared.
The old man examined Xia Fei and then asked, “Human, you feel that you are worthy of becoming one of our collaborators?”

Xia Fei nodded, neither meek nor proud.

“Then how can you prove that you’re worthy?”

Xia Fei smiled.
“If I wasn’t worthy, you wouldn’t have sent someone to find me, would you?”

Qingliu stroked his beard.
“If you were given enough space to work, how could we be guaranteed that you wouldn’t leak our secrets, that you wouldn’t run away?”

Xia Fei replied, “You can’t, so you have to take the gamble.”

Qingliu heartily laughed.
“As expected, an interesting human.
Very well! I agree to your request! In return, you must show that you are worthy of bearing this heavy responsibility.”

Xia Fei frowned.
“How do I show that?”

Qingliu answered, “It’s very simple.
This place has a machine left by a god.
If you can agree to my request and complete the assessment, I will treat you as a collaborator.
We will share all our intelligence and resources with you, leaving the time and method of attack up to you.”

The elderly insectoids on the side exchanged glances after seeing Qingliu agree so easily, indicating that they were worried, but Qingliu was not swayed and persisted in his course.

“A god? Could it be the God race spoken of by the Tulons?” Phantom softly asked.

Xia Fei nodded.
“The insectoids believed in two gods, one of day and another of night, which is the same to what I learned from that insectoid cerebrum I found on the Tulons’ planet.
The machine is probably an artifact the God race left to the insectoids.”

Phantom replied, “Those two members of the God race are super-experts.
They probably aren’t any worse than the controllers of laws like Yujiang and Yuhua.
They ruled over the insectoids and Tulons for a very long time.
I wonder why they left behind something like that?”

At this moment, Xia Fei raised his head and asked Qingliu, “How does this assessment machine left by the insectoid gods carry out its assessment? If you want me to take part in an assessment, you must at least show that it’s fair.”

Qingliu smiled.
“The machine left by the Black and White Gods was designed to test one’s cultivation, potential, and their decision-making ability—a comprehensive exam.
Even if you were to give me ten thousand times the courage, I would never dare to make a joke of that god.

“I can guarantee to you that the test is fair, but if you can’t pass it, then I hope that you can keep your mouth shut and express no opinion on the tactical level, restricting yourself to the role of an executioner.”
