And who was Bai Wei in all of this? Well of course, Bai Wei was the aforementioned alien king.

...

Liu watched as Bai Wei's mind scape slowly became a smoldering red and began to sweat.

Care to explain why I'm the final boss Liu?

Liu looked downcast in the system space with sweat dripping down his face. [There are two main criteria for choosing vessels to inhabit, the first is proximity to the plot of the world and the second is the capacity of the vessel to fit the hosts soul. The host's soul is very unique and it is difficult to find a vessel that can withstand the host's soul. As such, the host may inhabit some less than fortunate bodies in the future]

Liu tiptoed around his words and spoke in his most professional manner about the subject ,but Bai Wei still heard the meaning in between the lines. His character was too twisted to inhabit innocent vessels and this current situation was likely to happen again in the future. Bai Wei momentarily felt like fighting something; Why choose him as a host if you are going to purposefully put him into difficult situations. A less intelligent host would easily fail even if they were given the best circumstances and yet here he was working with not even half of that luck. However, despite his rage there was nothing that could be done. Liu released a sigh of relief while watching the fire in Bai Wei's mind scape subside.

Bai Wei assessed his current situation when he realized another vital piece of information was still missing: Bai Wei had no idea who the target was.

Who is the target this time?

[...]

You don't know who the target is!?

[ The target will be identified when they come into the host's line of sight...]

All of Bai Wei's previous anger came flooding back to him. So what he was a villain, he didn't even know where the mission target was. There are so many people within this vast world, the target could be on some desolate planet in the middle of nowhere and he'd never know. The chances of finding the target were exceptionally slim.

[Well... most likely, the target will be involved with the plot of the world. This is what other systems have concluded]

Bai Wei's head still ached at this broad statement. The plot was centered around a planet wide alien invasion, there were so many characters involved in a doomsday driven plot. Not to mention sacrifices are common place in doomsday novels the target might die before Bai Wei finds them. The target could be anyone.

...But he won't be Jiang Long.

Bai Wei grew depressed at this thought. His sleep and the time in the skill training space had only slightly suppressed his grief over loosing his partner of a lifetime. Like a scab that had just healed over, once a small amount of force was applied to the wound it would start bleeding again with great gusto. Bai Wei felt the urge to cry as heavy emotions came at him one wave after another.

However, the alien race that Bai Wei currently inhibited was a very emotion-less race. As such, their species had not even developed tear ducts despite having an almost human physique. Bai Wei made a loud sobbing sound but no tears rolled. Even his crying sounded foreign and peculiar.

Bai Wei felt extremely sad knowing now that not only was Jiang Long gone, he was stuck in some inhuman vessel that couldn't even cry to express his grief.

Suddenly a metallic hand reached out to pat his back. Bai Wei recoiled in shock before quickly looking up at the person. It was another alien like himself, except it was bulkier and appeared less human like. Where a face would usually be there was instead a large sheet of metal. The creature watched Bai Wei's reaction and tilted its head in confusion as Bai Wei came to a realization: he must have summoned this droid in his want to be comforted by another.

The alien race that Bai Wei was the leader of was a mechanical race that operated much like a hive mind with only one true consciousness. The actions of the aliens were all controlled by this consciousness and would always abide to its whims even in the face of death. This consciousness was what Bai Wei had inhabited. So while Bai Wei was technically in this almost human form he was also controlling the entire alien race.

Earlier in his grief, his innate want to be comforted by another had been transmitted via the hive mind and perceived as a command. The task of comforting him had then been systematically dished out to the closest to the situation which happened to be this droid im front of him. Bai Wei felt momentarily embarrassed by this turn of events and decided to focus on the problem at hand.

Since he didn't know who the target was, he'd just have to find them. As the whole world revolved around Dai Chengming he'd just have to go to the stronghold where Dai Chengmimg currently resided.

With this new plan in mind, Bai Wei quickly set off towards the planet where Dai Chenmimg resided.

...

Dai Chengming was in the stronghold he and his close allies had established at the center of city B. This stronghold was established through the blood of many and became a beacon of hope to humanity. In the past 5 months since the fall out of the world, this was the one place that was truly safe from the onslaught of violence outside.

Originally, Dai Chengming had been very proud of this achievement and his position as the leader of the stronghold. However, as days went by and more inhabitants flooded in. The food supplies dwindled and problems arose quickly. Dai Chengming's original glee quickly turned to worry. He was currently in a meeting with the leaders discussing the next move when suddenly the television turned on and started showing static.

Electricity had runout three months into the apocalypse. Not even the most prestigious people in the country were able to keep power after four months. To see the tv on at all was nothing short of a miracle at this moment. The people present stood in shock for a moment before a set of badly translated words popped up on the screen.

It read: Encouraged! Because in a few days our famous foreign leaders will visit your house!

Dai Chengming:??????
