Chapter 499 - 70: Humanity Beneath the Dark Starry Sky (Part 3)
Keith’s hands were trembling slightly.
Its tough tentacles climbed up along the girl’s brow bone, carefully selecting the best angle, ensuring she wouldn’t die during the feeding process. Only the most perfect ’live eating’ could honor its title as the ’Great Gourmet’ and bring the audience nearby the most extreme emotional resonance.
It was an elegant artist, because its feeding was like the art of the Heart Stealer, precision like a blade.
Soon.
Keith had selected the most perfect angle, which allowed him to consume two-thirds of the girl’s brain while still keeping her alive. With a spell of spiritual energy, her life could sustain until Keith ate the last drop of brain matter inside her.
On the spotless long table, the girl slowly closed her eyes, her eyes like sparkling blue sapphires, gazing one last time in the direction of Divine Terra.
Perhaps people there had long forgotten their lost descendants...
Tick! Tick!
Just as the girl quietly awaited the Heart Stealer to pry open her skull with its tentacles, suddenly she heard a ticking sound resembling a clock.
The world halted at this moment.
She should have stopped completely like all Heart Stealers, frozen in time, but her intelligence was too high. Although her excessive intelligence made her perception of the world very vague, as if through a layer of gray fog, this talent also allowed her to sense the change of time.
She froze.
Body, heartbeat, and breathing all froze, but her consciousness didn’t.
At this moment!
She saw a black Giant, towering like a mountain, possibly a successor of the legendary Nameless Giants.
Under the endless starry sky.
Countless mysterious silver rune engravings were like dazzling nebulae, spinning rapidly. A semi-transparent purple giant bubble enveloped the outer layer, under the starry illusion-like reflection, she saw a silhouette of a black Giant, its abyssal eyes gazing at her, with a trace of pity in its gaze.
A gigantic Netherworld hand gently lifted her, as if cradling a beloved object, holding her in its palm, raising her to the sky!
"Child!"
"I will bring you home!..." the black Giant whispered.
In an instant.
The girl broke free from the frozen time, tears like rain, silently crying, choking.
At this moment, she finally knew she hadn’t been completely forgotten.
They were no longer human bloodlines lost under the starry sky.
The black Giant’s silhouette gently wiped the crystal tears from her eyes, whispering softly, "Don’t cry. Child."
"I’ll set off a beautiful firework for you!..."
——Eternal Blazing Sun [Spell Ascension Ring] [Eleventh Ring Legendary Spell]!!!
A dazzling firework blossomed under the starry sky.
As if declaring humanity’s return to this piece of starry sky, the sun-like blazing light illuminated the entire Garden Planet, allowing countless human bloodlines bred on Skull Farm to see the light at the edge of the sky, it was so warm and blazing, enough to melt all darkness!
"Sealed Object No. 1!"
"Let the Celestial Calamity Messenger Team enter the Moon Outpost on standby!"
"Recall the Far Traveler Battle Group, recall the Pioneer Battle Group, recall the Martyr’s Order, gather the Star Realm Army, gather all the orders of Divine Terra!..."
"Mechanical Heart Half-Plane entering first-level combat readiness!"
"Golem Construct Legion ready for cross-plane deployment!"
"Contact Abyss City."
"Send the Church Envoy Team, seek help from the seven Witch King Cities, I can yield all mining resources in Black Abyss."
"Inform Mrs. Hecate."
"Let Quinn-To go to Eternal Forest, I need the help of the Forest Sage and Great Druids!"
"Send Orn from Abyss City to White Jade City, bring my sealed Dragon Head Battleship Design Map there, I need Zhen Dan’s fleet support!"
"Have Yvonne Tanner go to the Tower of Knowledge, tell them I found the bloodline inheritor of the Northern Witch."
...
At this moment.
Shawn activated all his connections, he was going to confront the Main Brain of the Heart Stealer Fleet!
Humanity had been forgotten in this starry sky for far too long, too long.

(Note 1: In the Skull Farm, the bred humans and humanoid creatures are tested and measured to assess their total brain capacity. If ranking in the top 5%, they have the right to breed, used to incentivize humanoids to learn more knowledge. Those not ranked in the forefront are sold to other Heart Stealers as food, and the lowest-ranking 5% are directly slaughtered.
Note 2: This breeding method ensures only the smartest humanoids can continue to survive, the humanoids here have 1d4 points higher perception and intelligence than ordinary humans, up to a maximum of 20. Unfortunately, they never left the farm because in the process of artificial breeding, rebellious spirit has been removed from them long ago.
Note 3: Heart Stealers control the path of advancement, humans found to be transcendent are directly killed and consumed. They aim to breed ordinary people with intelligence above 18 points. Consuming high-intelligence humanoids can accelerate Heart Stealer’s promotion and evolution. Top geniuses with 20 intelligence points will be sent to the Main Brain’s Mind Sharp Tower.)
