Cave Refuge

Even though Dong Tianyu knew what the best sustenance for the Hundred Ghosts Banner was, he never used it on others when he was in China.

Just as most Chinese people, when old, would yearn to return to their roots no matter where they are, sending someone into the Hundred Ghosts Banner would indeed grant them a form of eternal life. However, the ultimate fate would still be the destruction of the soul, dissipating into nothingness.

So whether one calls Dong Tianyu sentimental or hypocritical, although he would kill, he never sent anyone into the Hundred Ghosts Banner to enslave them for all eternity.

However, Dong Tianyu had a strong sense of racial pride. Deep in his subconscious, he always considered the Traditional Chinese first, other minorities in China second, and foreigners were not even within the scope of his consideration.

This was also the reason why Dong Tianyu eventually left China. After all, there were many methods he subconsciously did not wish to resort to unless it was absolutely necessary.

Look at Dong Tianyu, as soon as he came out and found his target, he did not hesitate to feed on them.

By reading the memories of the souls absorbed into the Hundred Ghosts Banner, Dong Tianyu gained a deeper understanding of the Life Foundation.

Initially, Dong Tianyu thought that the Giant God Soldiers were the most important assets in the Life Foundation. However, after reading the memories of a high-ranking soul from the Foundation, he realized that the Giant God Soldiers were just a significant sub-branch within the Life Foundation.

The Life Foundation was not as one-dimensional as Jack and Peter, the two Giant God Soldiers, had perceived. The reason why the organization was named the Life Foundation was that besides the Giant God Soldiers, there were two completely different sub-branches within it.

After understanding the information about these two sub-branches, Dong Tianyu's face showed a very peculiar expression.

It wasn't that Dong Tianyu was unfamiliar with these two sub-branches, but rather that he knew too much about their intelligence.

Mechanical Eternity: With a name that sounds very cool, it is actually cyber technology, and it leans towards the biological aspect of cyber tech. The members of this branch are keen on replacing their various organs with mechanical ones.

According to the theory they advocate, the human body has its limits, but technological advancement is limitless. Hence, they attempt to replace their organs with machinery.

Simply replacing everything with machinery definitely won't work, so they gradually replace organs bit by bit. After each replacement, they allow a certain period for adaptation to ensure the body does not reject the new organ before they continue replacing the next organ with mechanical parts.

The leader of this sub-branch has already replaced his entire body with mechanical parts, except for his brain. According to the images shown in the memories, the appearance of the leader of the Mechanical Eternity does not differ much from a normal human and closely resembles that of the science fiction movie with a sense of age: RoboCop.

Unlike RoboCop, who still retained his facial features, the leader now only has his brain left. The specific methods used for the replacements are not known to the high-ranking official of the Giant God Soldier branch. Although they are both high-ranking leaders in the Life Foundation, the technology and methods of the various branches are not shared with each other.

Normally, the high-ranking Life Foundation official who was contributing this intelligence to Dong Tianyu rarely came here. Although he was the second-in-command of the Giant God Soldier branch, who would leave the comfort of their "zoo" to endure suffering in a barren land?

However, since the top leader responsible for this area was out on business, this second-in-command leader had to be present to take charge.

The top official of the Giant God Soldiers is also a pilot of a Giant God Soldier. He operates the first Giant God Soldier obtained by the Life Foundation, which was transformed from a giant creature. Since it was the first model, the leaders of the other two sub-branches also assisted in its modification.

Hence, aside from its immense size, the armor covering the first generation Giant God Soldier not only provides extra defense unlike the armor of other Giant God Soldiers, which to some extent suppresses them, but actually amplifies the first generation Giant God Soldier. Besides the invisible amplification, that external armor also possesses several different abilities.

Even though Dong Tianyu was reviewing the memories of the second-in-command of the Giant God Soldier branch, he only knew that the metal armor of the first generation Giant God Soldier was likely similar to the nanotechnology armor that Iron Man has in Marvel, capable of morphing various melee weapons in combat and rapidly self-repairing by ingesting metal after sustaining damage.

Besides that, the soul inside the Hundred Ghosts Banner didn't know the other capabilities of the first model. As for its appearance, the body of the first generation model is completely enveloped in metal armor, so visually, it resembles a humanoid giant robot.

Apart from the Giant God Soldiers and Mechanical Eternity, the remaining sub-branch is known as the Pioneer Evolvers, a name that sounds impressive, but once the specifics are understood, it becomes clear what this sub-branch entails.

Although the title of Pioneer Evolvers is very lofty, in layman's terms, they are simply what are normally referred to as Superhumans or Mutants.

They use awakened potions to unlock superpowers unique to themselves. Developing these superpowers allows them to absorb and store more energy within their bodies.
