Chapter 1654: Chapter 1654

After Jia Yan left the star gate construction site, his eyes never left the calculator in front of him.

That’s right, he was fascinated.

"That scientist actually derived such a calculation formula from this star gate construction... this..."

Jia Yan stared at the string of formulas in front of him, almost forgetting to breathe.

To him, his subspace talent had almost reached a bottleneck. Without a substantial breakthrough, even if he reached Stellar Level, he would only be able to move quickly at a six-degree subspace depth.

To enter deeper space, a more profound understanding of space itself was needed, which involved a deeper comprehension of space.

Previously, he had obtained research materials from Xi Bala and others, but never found anything that inspired him.

But today, upon seeing the calculation formula that the scientist handed him, he couldn’t take his eyes off it.

This calculation formula, although not directly pointing to the essence of space, was not far off. Jia Yan was almost certain that by unravelling its complexities, he could elevate his understanding of space to a higher level, then break through to six-degree deep space.

"If I can enter the seventh layer, or even deeper subspace, my speed in subspace and means of escaping and attacking in subspace, will all see significant progress. This scientist has been a great help to me."

"If the increase in strength is successful, I should definitely reward him well."

Jia Yan was extremely excited about this unexpected joy. Although the star gate, being beneficial to the country and the people, had little use to him personally. Of course, with the communication between Country of Taia and Earth becoming smooth and business booming, he could indirectly receive a lot of material support, but that was not very direct help.

But this space calculation formula was different. If Jia Yan utilized it appropriately, it might even allow his strength to advance significantly once again, making it extremely important.

Jia Yan impatiently controlled his avatar and entered subspace for an attempt.

"Alas, an avatar is just an avatar, without the true body’s talent level. It’s difficult to even reach six degrees, let alone beyond six-degree deep space."

Not long after, Jia Yan manipulated his avatar back into the superfast battleship with a wry smile.

It seemed almost impossible to enhance strength or gain insight using an avatar because an avatar is just an avatar, with talents or even energy borrowed from the true body. In such a scenario, how could one enhance strength?

"Several days have passed, and that Bai Niao Battle Hall should be getting impatient, right? It’s time to go and face them."

Jia Yan thought for a moment, then controlled his avatar to exit subspace.

This time, he headed straight for the border of the Country of Taia, and as expected, Bai Niao Battle Hall had already assembled thousands of troops, almost ready to attack.

This time, the fleet of Bai Niao Battle Hall, although not as numerous as the previous multi-force alliance against Country of Taia, had combat power completely surpassing that of the previous allied army. The difference in the advanced level of battleships alone and the strength of the strong ones in these battleships was incalculable.

"Hmph, Country of Taia isn’t sincere, and Jia Yan seems determined to court death, having tangled with us for nearly a month. Let’s attack..."

Within this fleet, two semi-permanent star creatures coldly issued the order.

And soon after they gave the order, the massive fleet of thousands of warships indeed began to move.

A total of five thousand battleships moved, creating an impressive spectacle.

In the starry sky, five thousand well-trained advanced battleships moved almost simultaneously, then all spewed flames in the same direction, ready to fly forward.

But at that moment, a broadcast message transmitted suddenly among these battleships.

"Friends of Bai Niao Battle Hall, I am Jia Yan, I am willing to surrender, please do not attack."

This voice was extremely earnest, seemingly at a dead end.

"Jia Yan? He said he’s willing to surrender!"

"Huh, wasn’t he hiding inside Country of Taia, refusing to come out? How come he now jumps out saying he’s willing to surrender?!"

A group of creatures in the battleships of Bai Niao Battle Hall were taken aback when they heard this broadcast communication.

And soon after, they saw a seemingly very small creature floating in the starry sky not far in front of their fleet, waiting for their arrival.

"Is that Jia Yan’s avatar? Did he really mean it? Willing to surrender..."

On the battleships of Bai Niao Battle Hall, the two semi-permanent star creatures exchanged a glance, both filled with curiosity.

"Jia Yan, are you really willing to surrender? Do you know what this represents?" one semi-permanent star creature sent a brainwave communication to Jia Yan, who was already within a range of two thousand kilometers.

"Of course I know, but I don’t want to die, so I want to exchange with what your Stellar Level Senior wants for a chance to survive. Would you be willing?"

Jia Yan looked somewhat helpless, as if he understood he couldn’t engage in battle with Bai Niao Battle Hall.

Especially when he mentioned the word ’thing’, his expression was extremely reluctant, as if that thing was vital to him.

Something that the Stellar Level senior desires? Could he be referring to the two treasures taken from him years ago?

The two Semi-permanent Star Level commanders exchanged a shocked glance, then their expressions became solemn.

In truth, their purpose in attacking the country of Taia this time was not truly to eliminate Jia Yan, but to follow Kong Ping’s orders to see if the two things, which were even beneficial to Stellar Levels, were still with Jia Yan and could possibly be retrieved. If they could seize them, it would be a significant achievement.

But they never expected that without even capturing Jia Yan, he would come forward and confess himself.

"So it turns out he still has the things, haha, we will report to Lord Kong Ping immediately, she will surely be pleased." The two Stellar Levels on the battleship were extremely delighted.

If they could take those two things, Kong Ping would surely reward them.

"Jia Yan, if you hand over those two things, we will of course consider sparing your life, and not just that, but also consider pardoning the forces behind you in the country of Taia."

The two Semi-permanent Star Levels understood that Jia Yan still had some strength; if he truly wished to escape, their fleet would struggle to capture him. Now that Jia Yan stepped forward, it was largely because of his considerations for the country of Taia.

Anyway, with those two things in their hands, Jia Yan’s life and the insignificant power of the country of Taia were of no concern to the Bai Niao Battle Hall; releasing them wouldn’t mean much.

"Thank you so much, but... I also have two things I want, and I need to talk to Senior Kong Ping about them directly. Your Bai Niao Battle Hall should have a direct way to contact her, right?"

Jia Yan initially rejoiced, then hesitated, appearing bashful about wanting to contact Kong Ping.

"Of course, we can contact them right now. You must understand that the technology of the Outer Star Area is beyond your imagination."

The two Semi-permanent Star Levels smiled slightly and then casually said to Jia Yan.

"Come, if you have the courage, come aboard our command ship, and we will arrange for you to directly connect with Lord Kong Ping."

Not long after, Jia Yan indeed boarded the opponent’s command ship.

He actually had no intention of attempting a decapitation strike.

In fact, if he wanted to fight, destroying this fleet of the Bai Niao Battle Hall wouldn’t be too difficult.

But he refrained from doing so because he now sought to uphold one sole idea—to delay!

That’s right, he just wanted to buy time.

Regarding the forces of the Bai Niao Battle Hall in this Northern Star Domain, he wasn’t afraid, and even had the capability to annihilate them completely.

But when it came to the headquarters of the Bai Niao Battle Hall behind them, Jia Yan had to consider it carefully.

And this time, Jia Yan’s avatar acted weak, even speaking of surrender, because he wanted to gain a bit more time.

Even just two more months would be beneficial. Calculating the time, in about two more months, his True Body would complete its metamorphosis. Even if he hadn’t reached full Stellar Level power, he would be able to face most crises efficiently and employ various means. Even if Huo Qu returned, he had confidence he could escape smoothly.

"Hmph, so you’re Jia Yan? To use such a weak avatar, your true body’s power must not be impressive."

When Jia Yan entered the Bai Niao Battle Hall’s command ship, two Semi-permanent Star Level strong ones came to his side, one on the left and one on the right, releasing terrifying Brainwave Power to suppress Jia Yan, confident that they had controlled this mere avatar, they sneered coldly.

"Come on, we’ve established the connection. A signal can still be almost real-time over five hundred light years; besides these large organizations like ours, who else can accomplish this? Today ought to be an eye-opener for you."

The two Semi-permanent Star Level strong ones seemed entirely unconcerned about Jia Yan’s avatar’s strength.

After all, in their view, Jia Yan’s True Body at most had Semi-permanent Star Level power. If his True Body were here, they might have some apprehensions, but how strong could just an avatar be?

Jia Yan accompanied them with a few laughs, continually acting weak, but a faint hint of killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He remembered it well; once his True Body’s situation improved slightly, the first to kill would be these two Semi-permanent Star Levels!

"The connection has begun, Jia Yan, speak directly with Lord Kong Ping."

The Semi-permanent Star Creature bowed its head respectfully, then the massive screen at the command ship’s center slowly displayed a multicolored peacock’s figure.

"Greetings, Lord Kong Ping!"

The two Semi-permanent Star Levels of the Bai Niao Battle Hall immediately changed their demeanor toward Jia Yan, almost chameleon-like, showing flattering expressions toward the strong peacock figure appearing on the screen, respectfully greeting her.

Jia Yan also deliberately acted terrified, addressing the peacock creature on the screen with, "Greetings, Senior Kong Ping."

"Hmm... so, you’re that Jia Yan’s avatar, huh? Very well, if you return the two treasures taken from me last time, then both you and the country of Taia will not face further consequences from my Bai Niao Battle Hall."
