Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 643: Section 639 - The End of Humanity Will Perform
Forty years ago, for Louis Landon, human civilization reached its peak and then began to decline.
In order to avoid the Alien Parasitic Species, he lost friends, elders, brothers, his wife, and most precious of all, his children.
After his wife and children's final agonizing screams subsided, they opened their eyes, revealing a stranger's cold, indifferent gaze.
The wife and children he loved most were already dead, even though their bodies were still alive.
That was a nightmare Louis Landon would never forget.
The surviving humans were few and far between, incapable of maintaining the continuation of their species, with only the walking dead-like Parasitic Hosts remaining.
Humanity finally reached a dead end…
The Parasite mercilessly pierced into the back of Louis Landon's head, not only rending his body but also his soul, until he felt like he was falling into an endless abyss, falling, falling, falling…
...
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open again, only to see his 17-year-old body.
The rejuvenated Louis Landon gasped for air, and as time passed, his disbelief gradually faded.
The Dragon Rider Legion streaked into Blue Star's atmosphere, tracing a trajectory across the sky, like a splendid meteor shower.
There was still time…
With the memories of his past life, it took three years to complete the initial capital accumulation; Louis Industries was founded. Always one step ahead and continually expanding, it surpassed Dragoon Industries ten years earlier, becoming Blue Star's leading mega-corporation and placing Louis Landon on the throne of the world's wealthiest.
One of the most famous products of Louis Industries, the KDK-1 air-breathing hypersonic intelligent missile, commonly known as "Dragon Slayer Missile," with a Combat Unit that uses the Magical Beast Crystal Core and Crystalline Block as its core, triggers an Elemental Storm comparable to a nuclear fusion reaction.
Who could have imagined that, in Louis Landon's past life, the "Dragon Slayer Missile" was originally a "suicide bomb" meant to achieve Mutual Annihilation with the Parasitic Species?

"Huh? The Dimensional Gate is already closed?"
Chen Fei's mouth fell open in surprise.
Things seemed to be getting serious, and as a Blue Star person, he wanted to go home. That Dimensional Gate must not close.
An exhausted Louis Landon from his second youth shook his head wearily, leaning on his cane. "No, no, that's a matter of the future; it hasn't closed yet, but it will soon."
This young man before him was an unexpected variable, one that had not appeared in the history of his memories.
The Metallic Dragon named Bit had left the "Halo" orbit near Cangqiong Star and entered Blue Star's atmosphere. The entire Aircrew Base 911 was wiped out, leaving no survivors.
The Evil Dragon who had caused a tremendous disaster was then killed by a Sky Knight dispatched by the Lin Family, known as "Death Tracer" Lin Ziyong, who fell in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area.
Hearing the other party conclusively speak of future events, Teacher Shen Fei asked in confusion, "Mr. Landon, do you possess a prophecy Psi Skill?"
She had heard of such Special Abilities before, which were supposed to be among the rarest.

"I... I'm not a supernatural power user, but I do know what's going to happen in the future. Hmm, I suppose you could say it's a kind of prophecy," he said with a bitter smile.
In his past life, he indeed had been a supernatural power user with a Psi Skill for super memory, regarded by other survivors as the Fire Seed of civilization, and they had done everything to protect him until the end, but to no avail.
In this new life, however, his Ability Awakening had not occurred, and he remained an ordinary person, unable to rapidly memorize new things and retain them impeccably. Only the memories of his past life were still impeccably preserved.
Special Abilities belonged to the Blue Star Humans, a Supernatural Power capable of rivaling Magic and Battle Qi.
But the reasons for and principles behind Ability Awakening had remained elusive right up until the extinction of Blue Star Humans in his previous life, without any convincing answers.
Awakening and Skills had always been chance events of a small probability and beyond artificial interference.
"Let's not delve into that for now and temporarily consider it a prophecy Psi Skill. Mr. Landon, what should we do next?"
Chen Fei set aside his many questions, certain of at least one thing: the magnate who earned millions of Star Yuan every second was unlikely to be mocking someone like him. The future he spoke of was likely to happen.
It was necessary to do something before the worst-case situation arose, to be prepared for all eventualities.
Even if it proved to be a wasted effort, it was better than missing an opportunity.
Moreover, Teacher Shen was nearby, the Deputy Secretary of Northern Weapons Industry. In a sense, she also represented Northern Weapons Industry, and this was not the time for jokes.
"Those Rebel Armies will attack the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation affiliated with Nandu City, causing the loss of the dimensional positioning coordinates, and then those self-righteous fools will commit an unforgivable, catastrophic mistake!"
As he spoke, Louis Landon's face contorted with anger, almost gnashing his teeth.
Who would have thought that the doomsday of the Blue Star People would originate from the Zilu Continent of Cangqiong Star?
When posterity clarified the situation, it had already become irrevocably dire. The parasitic species not only successfully invaded Blue Star but even gained the upper hand. A vast number of Blue Star humans were stripped of their bodies; their souls dissipated, turning into walking corpses.
And those who were truly at fault perished in the very beginning.
Even though the Slan Dynasty exterminated the remaining rebels, leaving none alive, it was still to no avail. After paying a tremendous price, they could only helplessly shut down all Dimensional Gates, severing ties between the two civilized planets and struggling to survive alone.
After taking a moment to compose himself, Louis Landon stared hard at Chen Fei and said, "Chen Fei, I need your help to defend the Dimensional Gate Management Substation at Nandu City. Make sure the planar location coordinates, that is, the Longinus, doesn't fall into the hands of the rebel army. You are an unknown factor; you can certainly do it."
He spent a fortune inviting many experts and scholars to collaboratively propose the "Great World Tree Hypothesis," which was then refined into the "Great World Tree Origin Theory."
Following this lead, now others have gone a step further based on the "Great World Tree Origin Theory," proposing an even bolder guess: the "Great World Tree Planar Theory."
To research planar theory, Louis Landon never hesitated to spend money.
In just over three decades, various research outcomes blossomed like flowers in spring, advancing rapidly. Thankfully, with the vast resources of Louis Industries, it was possible to continuously invest substantial funds in support. If it were any other company, such a significant yet unrewarding investment could have affected operations, perhaps even leading to bankruptcy.
But all that Louis Landon did was to find the source of the parasitic species and attempt to eradicate them from the root.
If the parasitic species could come here, then humans could go there as well. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Before real hopelessness set in, he absolutely refused to give in to fate.
Yet the wheels of history were unstoppable, crushing all of Louis Landon's efforts as the timeline self-corrected. Everything unfolded steadfastly as in the previous lifetime; no matter what was done, it all ended in futility, until... the variable Chen Fei appeared!
This filled Louis Landon with unspeakable joy.
The Great Path has fifty, Heaven's creations forty-nine, humans escape the one, Heaven never cuts off all routes.
However, not everyone could succeed in escaping the one, only a "variable" could truly do it, and that "variable" was Chen Fei.
"Indeed, Dimensional Gates are not to be trifled with. Everyone has a duty to ensure their security and must not allow them to fall into the hands of the rebel army!"
Shen Fei nodded, obviously realizing the severity and consequences.
Whether or not the future that Louis Industries' CEO Louis Landon worried about will come to pass, the Dimensional Gate that connects Cangqiong Star with Blue Star is an extremely important existence.
If the rebel army seizes the Dimensional Gate, it is very likely that they will spread the flames of war to Blue Star, which has been peaceful for so long, or perhaps cause even more dire consequences, just as Mr. Randon predicted. The mere thought of it makes one's hair stand on end.
She immediately continued to ask, "Since Mr. Randon can foresee all of this, may I ask if you have any contingency plans prepared?"
With the strength of Louis Industries, it should be easy to covertly prepare some powerful measures.
"This is not Blue Star, this is Cangqiong Star. There is very little I can do here,"
As an important public figure, Louis Landon was in the spotlight and found it difficult to make secretive arrangements.
The heavy artillery position that had been annihilated by a Forbidden Curse was his biggest trump card, barely even getting a chance to play a decisive role before it went up in smoke.
Those damnable rebels even had the ability to unleash Forbidden Curses, something that didn't happen in the previous life but occurred unexpectedly in this one.
"I most certainly cannot do it alone. I would think, Mr. Randon, that you have some kind of backup measures, don't you?"
Chen Fei alone definitely would not be able to withstand the rebel army.
If a Forbidden Curse were to fall on him, it would be the end for him, sending him directly to reincarnation, and the so-called "variable" would become a casualty.
"Indeed, there are some,"
Louis Landon gave a signal to Chief Bodyguard Riva beside him.
The latter immediately took out an Alchemical Artifact, and the Magic Array lit up.
A semi-circular Barrier enveloped everything within a radius of five meters.
For those inside, the effect of the Barrier looked like a layer of gauze, still allowing a clear view of the outside.
But to those outside, all they could see was a black bowl-shaped Barrier, unable to even let light escape, much less sound.
"Be careful, I'm not sure if someone might be watching this place."
Louis Landon sighed, then raised his hand and held up three fingers, saying, "There are three more cards to play. The first is a squad skilled in reconnaissance and harassment, consisting entirely of supernatural power users. If necessary, we can choose to sacrifice them, but we must be cautious. They are very important assets for intelligence. The second team consists of Dead Soldiers. There are only six of them, and from the moment they are deployed, they already know their destiny, never thinking to return alive. Moreover, they have taken a drug that allows them only 24 hours of life. Regardless of whether or not they achieve their mission objectives, they will die. If we encounter strong resistance, we must use these Dead Soldiers without sympathy. Their hearts are already dead, and living is worse than dying for them."
Taking a pause, Louis Landon left only one finger raised, continuing, "The third team is composed of Heavenly Order and Grade A Special Ability users. They are not Dead Soldiers, but mercenaries who took my money and are not entirely reliable. If control of the situation is needed, these people will be strong allies. However, if the situation collapses, do not have too high expectations."
He still had some other cards up his sleeve that he did not reveal here.
Compared with these three teams, the assistance that those hidden cards could offer was practically negligible.
The resources disclosed to Chen Fei and Shen Fei were such that even some sovereign powers of Blue Star might not be able to provide.
In some respects, Louis Industries was not only as rich as a nation but also as powerful as one, and that was no mere rumor.
