Chapter 1657: Chapter 1657

"Aunt, stop talking."

Kama wanted to refute something, but the words caught in her throat, and she realized she really couldn’t say anything.

After all, Jia Yan had indeed put Taiya in a difficult position once before, and now Jia Yan still didn’t know what kind of crisis and pressure Taiya faced after he left on the Adisa last time.

This time, it’s the same, and even more critical than the last. If Jia Yan doesn’t show up again, with a stellar-level strong one forcing their way to Taiya, it would undoubtedly be a situation of certain death.

"No, the lord personally told me a few days ago that he wouldn’t abandon us." Kama felt almost depressed; she had chosen to trust Jia Yan, and now that he hadn’t shown up, she felt helpless.

Fortunately, Kama’s words managed to buy time with Kong Ping and the others. At this moment, the large army was advancing quickly within Taiya’s boundaries, and although they seemed aggressive, there didn’t appear to be any incidents of harming civilians.

Even as they reached the capital star of Taiya Nation, ’Taya Star’, nothing major happened.

"Alright, I’ll give you two days. You can just hope that Jia Yan appears within those two days."

Kong Ping had almost no desire to converse with Kama and the others, even refusing the offer to rest briefly on Taya Star. Instead, she waited inside her colossal battleship for two days to pass.

"Lord Jia Yan, please show up quickly, or Taiya will be doomed."

Kama gazed helplessly at the starry sky, as if she could see Jia Yan from afar, and smiled bitterly.

But what she didn’t know was that the ’Jia Yan’ in her mind was not far away at all but right in a subspace area near Taya Star.

At this moment, Jia Yan had completely hidden his presence inside a superfast battleship, both his avatar and true body in a faint state of hibernation.

The worry and frustration of Kama outside, he was completely unaware of, only focusing on his own mutation.

However, he didn’t lie to Kama; he said he’d come out in two days, and it would indeed be two days. This time, he wouldn’t betray his teammates again.

To be honest, if Kama and the others held grievances against Jia Yan for selling Taiya once, he wouldn’t argue, as it was the truth.

Time passed slowly, moment by moment.

Gradually, the first day passed, and all of Taiya was engulfed in fear under the direct presence of a stellar-level strong one.

Although the Bai Niao Battle Hall people hadn’t directly used violence, they had implicitly begun monitoring the residents of Taiya, especially the fleets attempting to flee to foreign countries, almost all of which were detained.

The entire nation began to panic.

Being targeted by a stellar-level strong one is akin to a horrifying earthquake for any nation.

On the second day, a more terrifying scene unfolded across Taiya’s small territory than the day before.

That was the gradual dispersal of dozens of semi-permanent star-level strong ones from Bai Niao Battle Hall, completely encircling various Taiya star locations, seemingly ready to execute Kong Ping’s commands the moment the two days were up and launch a direct attack.

Over two days, Bai Niao Battle Hall didn’t entertain even the slightest notion of extending the deadline by a second.

"Empress of the so-called Taiya Nation, today is the last day you mentioned. Have you contacted that Jia Yan?"

Kama was sitting in the palace when she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar female voice.

Her expression trembled, understanding it was the voice of the stellar-level peacock strong one from Bai Niao Battle Hall.

"Lord, Lord Jia Yan said he would appear, so he will appear; please be patient." Kama forced a smile, making herself appear calm.

"Patience, you say? Fine, I’ll wait a bit longer."

The female voice quickly disappeared.

And inside the palace, Kama was almost drenched in sweat, nearly fainting from fright.

"Stellar-level, so this is how terrifying it is. She’s outside the planet, yet she can project her voice into my palace. Were my conversations with Aunt heard by her? Well, it doesn’t matter if she heard them or not. At least she gave us some time. Now we’ll see if Lord Jia Yan will appear when the time comes."

Kama thought of the instigator who plunged Taiya into its current crisis, feeling even more helpless with a bitter smile.

She realized that she never understood Jia Yan’s thoughts; he seemed like a good person but also had some not-so-great qualities, especially now when she felt uncertain about whether Jia Yan would appear.

"Well, let’s resign to fate. If Taiya perishes because of this, it simply means I made a poor choice of allies." Kama sighed bitterly.

Now it’s too late for regrets; with a stellar-level strong person in Taiya’s territory, she couldn’t possibly gain forgiveness from them by hating Jia Yan.

The helplessness of Kama was completely misunderstood by Jia Yan in the subspace.

But he also knew that time was of the essence.

Actually, by his own estimate, if he had been given a few months, he should have already completed his transformation, but the time his body took to mutate far exceeded his imagination.

"Hurry up, I can sense that the Country of Taia seems to be in trouble. I didn’t expect this mutation to exceed my expectations."

Jia Yan, inside the massive Cocoon, felt helpless about the speed of his body’s mutation.

The longer the mutation time, the greater the increase in strength should be, so he should feel happy, but now he was anxious because of his concern for the affairs of the Country of Taia.

He thought about it and roughly figured out that the reason for this unexpected mutation was likely due to the peculiar tree he had last devoured.

That thing had endowed his body with a touch of antimatter characteristics, an extremely unique item that indeed slowed down his mutation speed.

"However, the closer I get to the Stellar level, the more this peculiar feeling arises, as if it will greatly enhance my future strength."

Jia Yan felt both helpless and expectant.

Fortunately, the full sprint over the past few months had significantly increased his mutation speed, and now it was almost time to emerge from seclusion.

"If it doesn’t work, I’ll let the Avatar go out to check the situation first. If it can buy more time, so be it. After all, even if the Avatar dies, it is not beyond remedy. As for the Country of Taia, they still offer assistance. If this nation perishes, who will create technological items for me in the future?"

Thinking of this, Jia Yan paused on the final step of his mutation, and then dispersed a trace of spiritual power to activate the Avatar inside the Superfast Battleship.

Although this would cause a slight delay in the final step of his mutation, it wouldn’t have a major impact. In fact, the Avatar going out might be able to buy him some more time.

Very soon, in the subspace area where the Superfast Battleship was located, a small figure flew out directly.

With a move of his Brainwave Power, the entire subspace in front of him cracked open, and he stepped out.

The area Jia Yan’s subspace was hidden in was on a celestial body about the size of the Moon.

This celestial body, although not large, still had nearly five hundred million residents from the Country of Taia living on it.

However, at this time, the entire planet was in extreme terror, and even some of the Bai Niao Battle Hall soldiers had already entered the celestial body with advanced combat tools, just waiting for the command to attack these civilians.

The presence of a Stellar level entity meant that when it was time to slaughter, then it was time to slaughter, and any unfavorable interstellar opinion would not affect the diplomacy of the Bai Niao Battle Hall. After all, the power of a Stellar level Strong One is not something a regular force can affect. Even other Stellar level entities would support Kong Ping’s actions upon hearing the reason for this massacre, since daring to deceive or offend a Stellar level creature is almost a slap in the face to all Stellar level entities.

"Stay obedient, we are a civilized force and do not want to act without specific orders."

One by one, the ordinary Bai Niao Battle Hall soldiers continuously drove the crowd on the planet, and the Bella clan, who were very similar to humans, lowered their heads, being escorted to a vast open ground on the planet, awaiting their final fate.

A little boy, led by his parents, walked with the crowd to the front, but he was too young and cried out.

"What are you crying for? Make another sound, and I’ll kill you, tiny boy."

A Bai Niao Battle Hall soldier walked forward with a sneer, raising his weapon as if he would kill the boy directly if he dared to make another sound.

Anyway, it was about time. It seemed that Jia Yan wouldn’t appear, and there wasn’t much difference between earlier and later. Killing a few people now shouldn’t be a problem.

Beside this soldier were other Bai Niao Battle Hall soldiers coldly watching, not intending to stop him, and even higher up, a Semi-permanent Star Level creature also did not intend to intervene.

Dealing with a mere weak civilization, they had already shown enough respect to the Stellar level Strong Ones. If it were up to them to handle the matter, they would definitely kill half of the Taiya Nation people first, and if Jia Yan still didn’t show up, kill the other half.

"Ha, dare to cry, then cry in another world!"

The Bai Niao Battle Hall soldier, seeing that the Bella clan boy dared to cry after his command, his face turned malicious, and he directly pulled the trigger of his gun-like weapon!

The laser fired rapidly at the family in complete collapse in front.

The father of the Bella clan family, upon seeing this, already hugged his son and wife entirely behind his back.

But that was definitely not enough. As an ordinary Bella, his strength was merely Earth Level, completely unable to block the laser from the Bai Niao Battle Hall soldier’s weapon.
