From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Indra Sky?"

Mu Huanqing's expression slightly stalled. "Isn't that the research group that was attacked by the Nightfall Organization a few days ago?"

Fang Ren looked at her. "It seems that even you didn't know about Indra Sky's existence before the news reported it. It's actually not as simple as the news makes it out to be. It is a large organization supported by the Central Area that spans globally, and the reason this organization hasn't dared to make itself known to the world is that the things they are doing are not very honorable."

"Isn't it an organization that researches Void beasts, to better fight against the Void for Humanity?"

"That's just what the news reports. In fact, what they want to study more is how to make Cultivators stronger. Their important subjects of experiment are not Void beasts, but the Cultivators on Earth. Bai Qi is their final experimental subject. Their ideal is to make Bai Qi strong enough to shatter the Void by himself, giving Humanity a peaceful land."

Hearing what he said, Mu Huanqing frowned slightly, "Although it sounds incredible, isn't that ideal a good thing? But why does Xiao Xi getting stronger require your involvement?"

"Their ideal is indeed a good one, but the matter of shattering the Void is, to begin with, the ideal of all Humanity. But do you know what they have done for this ideal?" Fang Ren turned to her with a serious look and said, "Have you ever been curious where all those old, weak, sick, and disabled ordinary soldiers on the battlefield go after they retire?"

"What does that have to do with these two things?" Mu Huanqing felt increasingly heavy-hearted as she listened to his words.

"They are the living people that Indra Sky uses for experiments," Fang Ren said. "Then there are some Practitioners with higher Cultivation Levels who can't make it to the battlefield. They should be living among the middle layers of society, but our society's middle-layer Practitioners are so few, and this part of the population has also been used by Indra Sky as experimental subjects."

"..."

For a moment, Mu Huanqing was at a loss for words. As Xuan Nv of the Ninth Heaven, she always felt that as long as she and the warriors withstood the Void, people's lives should be very beautiful.

Now Fang Ren, this man who was about to become the father of her child, was telling her all this.

"Where did you find out about these things?" Mu Huanqing asked.

Fang Ren frowned, struggled for a while, and decided in his heart not to tell Mu Huanqing about the Nightfall Organization for the time being. After all, saying too much might make it harder for Mu Huanqing to digest all at once, and she might even think he was brainwashed by the Nightfall Organization.

"Where I found out about these things... I'll tell you later. Just remember that Indra Sky is not as simple as the news reports. What I'm telling you now might be hard for you to believe, but everything I'm saying is true," Fang Ren said.

Mu Huanqing's expression was twisted for a long time before she finally spoke, "Is their experiment... feasible?"

"It's not about whether it's feasible or not, okay?" Upon hearing her words, Fang Ren's voice suddenly rose, and he said earnestly, "Let's not even talk about whether this method is feasible or not, or whether there is confidence in shattering the Void. Even if the method is feasible, it is utterly inhumane! Why don't they put themselves in as test subjects?

They just keep feeding others chicken soup! Telling others you're the best, that your sacrifices are for the future of Humanity, that your deaths are worth it... They're just farting! Why don't they drink this bowl of chicken soup themselves? The ones who drink the soup deserve to give their lives to build a beautiful future for the creators of the soup to enjoy?"

"But... Haven't we Humans shed blood for so many years just to give a peaceful world to our descendants?" Mu Huanqing said, deeply conflicted.

"So does it mean that sacrificing even more innocent people doesn't matter?" Fang Ren asked.

"Every day we sacrifice so many warriors on the battlefield, doesn't that also not matter..." Mu Huanqing voiced somberly.

Fang Ren stood up and heaved a heavy sigh, knowing that telling Mu Huanqing these things, she would definitely have different thoughts. After all, she is ultimately a person from the Central Area's powers and thinks similarly to those commanding officers on this matter.

"Do you know who the people being used as experimental subjects are?" Fang Ren continued, "Most of them are those who wanted to join the battlefield but couldn't, and got cheated into the laboratory by Indra Sky's chicken soup of contributing to world peace. You must feel that their deaths must have contributed something to the future, but that's not what they wanted.

What they wanted was to go to the battlefield, to fight and resist the Void, and even to die there didn't matter to them. But they never thought to die at the hands of their own kind, without even seeing a glimpse of the battlefield or a glimmer of hope for Humanity's future."

Fang Ren spoke with some agitation, "Even if this method works, even if Bai Qi could shatter the Void by himself and bring peace to Earth, by that time, the number of Humans who have died at the hands of Indra Sky might be more than the total killed by the Void!

Besides, the most important point is none of the Cultivators used as experimental subjects went voluntarily; they were either captured or tricked, and they didn't long for Humanity's future. They only longed for less suffering and a quick death."

"None of them went voluntarily?" Mu Huanqing was surprised when she heard this.

In her memory, the Central Area never forced Cultivators to go to war, and everyone considered it an honor to defend their country on the battlefield, so no coercion was needed.

But why would such an experiment for the future of Humanity forcibly require the sacrifice of fellow countrymen? This went against her values and made her feel even more uncomfortable than the policy on arranged marriages for Cultivators.

"With your status, if you want to get in touch with Indra Sky, it shouldn't be too difficult, but they definitely won't tell you the whole truth," Fang Ren said. "If possible, you could delve deeper into their internal workings to see if what I'm saying is true.

"All I want to know now is where you heard all this," Mu Huanqing said.

Her mind was in disarray. Even as Xuan Nv of the Ninth Heaven, she was unaware of these things, so why would Fang Ren, a regular student who had always stayed in a small town, know about them?

"Let me keep that to myself for now... I'll tell you everything after you've confirmed the true nature of the Indra Sky organization," Fang Ren said. "But I hope you understand, Hui Qing, that everything I do in the future will be for the future of us both."

If Indra Sky is not eliminated, he would be forcibly used by the Central Area as a Furnace for Bai Qi's cultivation. How could he then face Mu Huanqing?
