Late at night, Su Mo and the others were having a great time eating and drinking.

Everyone cheerfully wrapped up the gathering, and no further incidents occurred.

As for that group of people, they didn't come looking for trouble either.

In a sense, the order in the Second Ring was indeed better. It wasn't that people here were necessarily more cultured, but they were definitely more rational and restrained.

After all, anyone who could live in the Second Ring was not to be trifled with.

After a long while, Su Mo and the others returned to the port.

Sun Li and the others waved goodbye to Su Mo and headed towards the Blue Whale.

After seeing them off, Qian Chengxue and Su Mo walked together towards the Dark Shadow. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

Finally, Qian Chengxue broke the silence and asked Su Mo, "When are you planning to leave?"

"Tomorrow, I guess."

Su Mo tried to appear as relaxed as possible, but he was actually quite reluctant to leave.

"Okay, we'll see you off tomorrow."

Qian Chengxue nodded and said to Su Mo.

"Alright."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

......

A moment later, Su Mo returned to his room. He lay down on the bed, wondering what he was thinking about.

The Creator·Devourer said in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Reluctant to leave?"

"No, sometimes a brief separation is for a longer reunion in the future. I'm just thinking about something."

Su Mo said to the Creator·Devourer.

Just as the Creator·Devourer was about to ask Su Mo what was on his mind, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Su Mo said.

The door opened, and Sun Duoxiang walked in, scratching his head.

"Boss."

"What brings you here? You rarely knock properly," Su Mo joked with Sun Duoxiang with a smile.

Sun Duoxiang forced a sheepish smile and asked Su Mo, "Boss, I heard you're joining the military?"

"Yeah, I'm leaving things here to you after I'm gone. You need to assist Qian Chengxue."

Su Mo instructed Sun Duoxiang.

"Don't worry, Boss, I will. It's just that I'm a little reluctant to see you go, and it feels like we're missing a backbone without you."

Sun Duoxiang said awkwardly.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Partings are normal in life."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"Oh, right, Boss, someone returned your mecha. It's parked in the hangar."

Sun Duoxiang quickly said to Su Mo.

"I see. Well, if there's nothing else, you can go ahead."

Su Mo was quite surprised to hear that. The old man was efficient. The V-generation biomechanical armor, Light of Sin Abyss, was repaired so quickly.

"Okay."

Sun Duoxiang nodded and left the room.

Su Mo stood there for a moment, pondering, then walked to the desk and opened the drawer.

Two boxes were lying quietly inside. These two boxes contained the Negative God Shard and the God砾 Stone.

"I remember very clearly that while you can bring things when you join the military, everything has to be reviewed, right?"

"Yes."

The Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"This Negative God Shard is like a bomb; I bet it's on the prohibited list."

Su Mo then said.

"That's right. This thing is a ticking time bomb. Once it riots and spreads its negative energy, it can easily kill a whole area! You should be very clear about its dangers. It can not only attract monsters, but also cause humans and artificial intelligence to fall and lose their minds."

The Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"This is troublesome. I can't carry it on my person, and I can't leave it to Qian Chengxue. Should I leave it with the old man as well? I've already left the Federation's shard with him."

Su Mo muttered to himself with a headache. He never thought that the Negative God Shard, which everyone was fighting over, would now become a hot potato in his hands.

"No need for so much trouble. Let me eat it."

The Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"Here you go again."

Su Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'm serious. This time, you don't have to worry about me losing control because my form has reverted back to VI type. Suppressing a Negative God Shard is still easy."

The Creator·Devourer said confidently.

Hearing what the Creator·Devourer said, Su Mo rarely argued this time, but began to think.

"Actually, entrusting it to the old man isn't impossible, but you have to consider one thing. Although this Negative God Shard is a bomb, it also has a use at critical moments. It can provide considerable power, and bringing it along might save your life in a crisis."

Seeing that Su Mo seemed to be wavering, the Creator·Devourer quickly persuaded him.

"Okay, then I'll embed it in you, but if you feel something is wrong, I'll pull it out."

Su Mo then picked up the box containing the Negative God Shard and opened it.

"Good!"

The Creator·Devourer floated out without hesitation.

Su Mo took a deep breath and then personally embedded the shard into the Creator·Devourer's body.

The Negative God Shard easily merged into the Creator·Devourer's body. In an instant, red streaks appeared on the pitch-black light brain.

A touch of red aura was mixed in with the black aura emanating from the light brain.

The entire light brain became even more powerful, but as the Creator·Devourer said, it was easily suppressed by its fully unfolded form, and there was no sign of going berserk.

Of course, Su Mo didn't dare to be careless, and he asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"No."

The Creator·Devourer responded clearly.

Hearing this, Su Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned his gaze to the God砾.

"What should I do with this God砾? Although this thing is not a prohibited item, it doesn't seem appropriate to report it truthfully."

"It will be confiscated. No need for so much trouble, I'll swallow it all and spit it out when it's needed!"

"Okay."

Su Mo pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The Creator·Devourer floated over directly, swallowed the God砾, and replied in a low voice, "Solved."

"I'll check the military service matters."

Seeing that everything was dealt with, Su Mo picked up his phone and began to inquire about military service matters. Although he was determined to join the military, he was now a little confused about his own situation and what to do.

Star Ring City, Fourth Ring.

A man wearing V-generation mechanical armor, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a resolute face, was walking on a remote road in the civilian area.

Crack.

The streetlights on the road flickered.

A breeze blew, and there was no one around.

The man stopped, his eyes glancing around. He keenly noticed that something was wrong. Although this narrow path was in the civilian area, it was usually quite lively, not so deserted.

"Who's there? Come out."

"Yo, you're pretty vigilant."

A playful voice sounded, and then a scantily clad beauty walked out, her snowy white chest on full display.

"Come out all at once."

The man in front of him snorted coldly.
