Chapter 1724: Chapter 22: West Union Alliance
The Stellar Battlefield, spanning several hundred light-years, is vast and boundless.
In a certain place, the possibility of encountering two star systems each with a stellar-level being exists for only one reason.
That is because the star systems have resources necessary for stellar-level entities, also known as stellar-level resources!
The River Dragon Star System, as a neighboring system to the White Seed Star, holds great hostility towards the creatures of the White Seed Star System.
Even though both have a stellar-level overlord, and even if Lord Heilong is somewhat weaker than the White Seed Star Overlord, overall, neither side can easily overpower the other.
“Ha, has the White Seed Star gone mad, claiming that our Lord Heilong died on their star and demanding our surrender? It’s utterly absurd.”
“Indeed, the people of White Seed Star are incredibly cunning, employing such tactics. It’s unclear if this scheme was devised by lower-level officials or White Seed himself, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his invention, just a foolish bear.”
“Haha, well said, just a foolish bear. Creatures like that exist on our planet too, and I used to love eating bear paws.”
In the starry sky, streams of star space material made of micro dust drift across this star system.
This is what people generally call a Wisdom Star.
As a common astronomical phenomenon in the universe, they don’t attract much attention due to their small size and lack of unique minerals. However, their ability to cover vast starry skies does attract many eyes.
The River Dragon Star System is such a system with extensive Wisdom Star belts, teeming with them. One can see the scenery of Wisdom Stars streaking the sky every day.
Such scenery leads creatures of the River Dragon Star System to pride themselves as the most beautiful system in the vicinity, looking down on other star systems.
“I’ve already sent the refusal to surrender, but this matter can’t be taken lightly. Didn’t Lord Heilong say he was secretly meeting a stellar-level friend? Without him, if the White Seed Star System attacks, it would be troublesome. Let’s declare a state of emergency for our star system.”
Several semi-permanent star level higher-ups discussed military and political matters before handling the offer of surrender from the White Seed Star System.
They couldn’t help but treat it as a ploy, given the longstanding animosity between the two systems, full of schemes and tricks. The people of River Dragon treated this surrender letter as part of a conspiracy.
“By the way, there was a joint star letter from a distant galaxy earlier that we haven’t dealt with. Shall we discuss it now? I suppose Lord Heilong won’t return soon; if we don’t address it, they might think us arrogant.”
A semi-permanent star creature said to several colleagues.
“Yes, let’s handle it together. We had messages from Lord Heilong a few days ago, but nothing recent. If not for knowing he couldn’t be at White Seed Star, I might have believed their words, haha.”
“Be cautious with your words!”
One semi-permanent star level member took out another document.
“The one wishing to join us is a large organization with an alliance of ten semi-permanent star levels under its control. We must take it seriously, or it could spell disaster.”
“However, we have a stellar-level strong one, so there’s no need for excessive concern. Let’s respond agreeing to most of their terms. If things don’t work out, we’ll refuse their alliance.”
The semi-permanent star level members also took care of the joint document.
Yet unbeknownst to them, as they sent the refusal of surrender to White Seed Star, a figure already departed from White Seed Star, subtly flying towards the River Dragon Star System…
“This River Dragon Star System doesn’t shed tears until it sees the coffin. Don’t believe Lord Heilong is dead? Alright, I’ll personally go over. Anyway, the Adisa will enter the cultivation dock in a few days, and by my return, it should be mostly repaired.”
Jia Yan thought calmly, his body floating through subspace effortlessly.
These days, his strength has grown considerably with continuous battles against the strong ones.
Especially in understanding the domain. From such battles with so many stellar-level beings, he gradually explored its essence. He previously had a domain prototype, now just a step away from complete comprehension.
“However, during this flight, I can attempt to heal my body. Otherwise, the prolonged injuries limit my combat power.”
The injuries on Jia Yan’s body still lingered; many dated back to his time at the Stellar Academy. Despite his Evolutionary Creature physique, which had healed much, these stellar-level inflicted injuries still required time for full recovery.
Now, with a source of energy available, he might as well use it to aid healing. Otherwise, the injuries could hinder his growth and potential power levels, which would be detrimental to him.
“Let’s see if this thing is of any use.”
Jia Yan retrieved a small bottle-like object hidden under his wing membrane.
This turned out to be one of the bottles of ‘Ghost’s Blood’ that Jia Yan had seized.
This Ghost’s Blood, Jia Yan originally thought there would be more on the White Seed Star, but unexpectedly, when he arrived and inquired, he found out that even the general Ghost’s Blood is something of significant value to the former overlord of the White Seed Star, and he would use it immediately whenever he acquired some.
So there was no way around it, and Jia Yan only had the Ghost’s Blood he had snatched outside the Stationed Troops Star.
However, with the White Seed Star’s unique acquisition methods, there is still a chance to gain more Ghost’s Blood in the future.
Jia Yan gently popped open the strange liquid in the transparent-colored bottle and then swiftly inhaled it through his mouthparts.
Immediately, a wave of pleasure swept over Jia Yan’s entire body.
“Such gentle power, and it indeed has a boosting and restorative effect on my body. No wonder even general stellar-level individuals can use it.”
Jia Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened.
As an Evolutionary Creature, he typically used high-energy materials that other creatures of the same level, even stellar-level creatures, could not utilize for their own energy.
But this Ghost’s Blood was different. Not only could Jia Yan use it, but ordinary stellar-level individuals could use it too, which is why so many stellar-level beings wanted to obtain it.
“However, for me, this Ghost’s Blood is a bit too mild. It seems that being a transformation beast isn’t all beneficial, at least when it comes to energy utilization, where there’s more stamina than other creatures, the effect isn’t as good.”
Jia Yan shook his head helplessly, but he had no intention of giving up using it. After all, it’s one of the few stellar-level enhancement items he knew, and even if the effect isn’t as strong on him as on other stellar-level beings, he couldn’t give up using it.
“A bit is not enough; I’ll make up with quantity, even if it means using all that I snatched.”
Jia Yan’s eyes shone as he looked at the several bottles of Ghost’s Blood under his wing membrane, feeling determined.
Jia Yan used his body’s speed to rapidly fly through subspace towards the River Dragon Star System.
In fact, such flight was somewhat foolish because instead of using a good battleship, he was flying with his body, which was simply a waste of time and energy.
Besides, even if two galaxies were closer, at a biological speed, even a stellar-level strongman couldn’t fly there quickly.
Of course, Jia Yan wasn’t truly foolish. If the Adisa were available, he would choose to ride it, but since the Adisa wasn’t available now, he decided to fly himself.
The White Seed Star’s battleship wasn’t particularly fast, and there weren’t many that could accommodate him.
More importantly, Jia Yan wanted to test his flying ability to see if he could truly undertake intergalactic travel!
“Over the years, I’ve fought all over, flying deeper and deeper into subspace. Although I haven’t yet achieved the depth that the Adisa would reach when ejecting, I’ve reached about the tenth degree now, in this flight relative to normal space, I’ve surpassed the speed of light and far beyond. Now I can test how fast my body can fly!”
Jia Yan was flying at about the ninth degree of subspace depth, a stark contrast to the previous sixth or seventh degree, which was like the difference between heaven and earth. This is why he believed he could reach the River Dragon Star System not much slower than a typical warp-speed battleship.
Jia Yan’s speed at this point was like the wind and lightning, a flash of light and shadow.
But in the River Dragon Star System, another small team was not slow, and even before he arrived, they had already reached the River Dragon Star System!
“What? People from the West Union have already arrived! And among them, there’s even a stellar-level one?!”
“What should we do, our Lord Heilong isn’t here.”
“How can we stall? Facing a stellar-level, we probably don’t stand a chance, do we?”
“I have an idea…” Suddenly, a high-ranking semi-permanent star level member from the River Dragon Star System brightened up with a plan.
What Jia Yan didn’t know was that after flying for an entire month and when about three light-years from the White Seed Star System, towards the River Dragon Star System, strange events were occurring at his destination.
A massive giant battleship, forty kilometers long, had docked at the largest Central Star Port in the River Dragon Star System.
Within this giant battleship, a terrifying aura was emanating, scaring the River Dragon Star System creatures, making them almost unable to move due to this power.
This was the power of a stellar-level strongman!
“Honored Emissary of the West Union, it’s not that our River Dragon Star System is unwilling to ally with your esteemed alliance, but we are currently threatened by the nearby White Seed Star System, making it truly difficult for us to ally with your side in an unstable external situation. We sincerely apologize!”
“Hmm? White Seed Star…” Latest content published on NoveI(F)ire.net
A voice, surprised and uncertain, sounded faintly within the huge battleship.
