Chapter 1030: Explanation
Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Explanation
“We managed to infiltrate No. 76 Planet and Sky Dragon Planet because I have an Illusion Ability that can disguise my aura and transform into various forms. Once we reached Sky Dragon Planet, while we were collecting information about it, I pondered how we could recover the losses of the Douluo Federation and at least avoid war. So, we took a trip to Sky Dragon City, the capital of Sky Dragon Planet. I spread the remainder of that liquid that we brought from No. 76 Planet directly over Sky Dragon City. That kind of liquid is constantly evaporating and can’t be stored by any instrument. It’s bound to disappear sooner or later. But by scattering it, it emits a vast spatial fluctuation that is unique to this liquid. Then we ran back here. Sky Dragon City, it’s somewhat chaotic.”
Yan Xinghe listened dumbfounded to his narration, “You mean to say, you’re pinning the blowing up of No. 76 Planet on Sky Dragon Planet?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded, “Theoretically, that’s correct.”
Yan Xinghe said, “Why didn’t you send the liquid back immediately?”
Lan Xuanyu replied with a bitter smile, “There wasn’t enough time, captain. At that time, the Sky Domination Clan was pursuing us from behind, surely aiming to chase in the direction of our fleet. If I had fled this way, they would definitely have caught up with us. I had to take a detour. If I had come back around, the liquid would have evaporated too. Rather than that, I might as well put it to some use. You see, now the Sky Domination Clan’s fleet is nowhere to be seen, right? They must have gone to Sky Dragon City to seek justice.”
His explanation to Yan Xinghe was ninety percent truth and ten percent falsehood, which made it more likely to be believed. Even if they searched his soul storage device, he wouldn’t be worried because the Void Bugs weren’t in there. There weren’t even any Space Source Crystals in his soul storage device, and with the Treasure Hunting Beast present, it was too easy to conceal.
Yan Xinghe’s expression changed slightly, “This information is extremely important. I need to report it to the higher-ups immediately. You wait here. Is there any other significant information?”
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “Nothing significant. There is just some stuff I brought back, from Sky Dragon Planet, that I planned to hand over to compensate for my past mistakes. Do you want to look at them now, or should we wait until later?”
“I will go report to the higher-ups first, you wait here,” said Yan Xinghe as he quickly left. Of course, he understood what it would mean for the federation if Lan Xuanyu’s strategy to divert disaster elsewhere succeeded. Much maneuvering was needed. How to take advantage of the situation to gain benefits would now be totally different from before.
Lan Xuanyu ended up waiting for two hours. By the time Yan Xinghe returned, he had already fallen asleep on the table.
“Knock, knock, knock.” The vibration of the table woke Lan Xuanyu from his deep sleep, and he looked up sleepily at Yan Xinghe who stood before him, “Captain, how did it go?”
Yan Xinghe’s face now wore a smile again, “Not bad at all. This news is extremely important for the federation. The negotiations back on the Mother Planet suddenly saw the First Seat of Sky Dragon Planet leave a few days ago. We didn’t know why, but now we understand. The First Seat of Sky Horse Star is still negotiating with us. We no longer need to rush to finish the negotiations with them. The internal strife in Sky Dragon Planet has created more opportunities and time for us. The fleet has already been given orders and will continue to seize resources shortly. Your actions this time have gained us at least ten extra days. The commander has already requested that your merits be used to offset your wrongdoings. Although there was no prior punishment, there will still be a hint of disgrace in your record. With the merits of this action, I hope it can help you balance out your past.”
Lan Xuanyu sighed in relief, knowing that the federation certainly wasn’t short of schemers, and those people would surely do a better job than he ever could. How to operate next and acquire the greatest benefits was now the federation’s affair.
“Bring the items. Let’s see what good things you’ve brought back,” Yan Xinghe hadn’t forgotten about what Lan Xuanyu had mentioned earlier.
Lan Xuanyu raised his hand, and books after books were released from the Ring of Destiny, falling onto the table and gradually piling up like a mountain.
“All these were purchased from the bookstores of Sky Dragon Planet. They primarily focus on history, biographies, geography, and so on, including information about Sky Dragon Planet, Sky Horse Star, and other races and planets in the Dragon Horse Star System. They should help us to further understand the Dragon Horse Star System.”
Upon seeing these books, Yan Xinghe was utterly dumbfounded. His first reaction was that, just like on the Sky Dragon Planet, there was something similar to paper that was used to record various data and contents. Currently, the Douluo Federation mainly recorded information through advanced soul technology, and paper books had become very rare.
But without a doubt, such an abundance of written materials held extraordinary significance for the Douluo Federation’s understanding of not just the Sky Dragon Planet but the entire Dragon Horse Star System.
The war between the Douluo Federation and the Dragon Horse Star System was bound to be continuous and would encompass not just battle but other aspects as well. Often, pure warfare could not solve all problems; both sides were always engaged in a battle of wits and bravery. In this process, the side that could gain the upper hand might win the final victory and rule both star systems, becoming even stronger.
Relatively speaking, the Douluo Federation was in more urgent need of resources from the Dragon Horse Star System. The federation’s technological advancement was very rapid, but resources couldn’t keep up with its pace. For the Dragon Horse Star System, they only needed to hold their ground. With the advantage in resources, the longer the time, the more advantageous it would be for them.
The federation, although continuously using various means to collect data on the Dragon Horse Star System, especially through efforts from Paradise Planet at great cost, hadn’t been very effective. After all, the Dragon Horse Star System as a whole was still more powerful than the Douluo Federation, especially in individual strength, which made many interstellar smugglers wary of revealing too much about the Dragon Horse Star System.
Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star had jointly issued a command long ago, stating that any entity that leaked information about the Dragon Horse Star System would be marked as a mortal enemy, to be pursued relentlessly until death.
The information Lan Xuanyu brought back this time, although still unknown in detail, seemed very extraordinary from his introduction.
These were not resources, but they could be even more important than resources.
“Good stuff. If it proves that these things are useful, it’s definitely a great accomplishment. What I’m more curious about, though, is how you got into Sky Dragon Planet and obtained these items. That’s not just a question from me—the military will ask you too, because the origin of these materials is just as important as their value.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, indicating his understanding, “Captain, I have a Soul Spirit whose ability is Illusion. It has no Attack Power at all, but its ability in Illusion could be compared to a God Rank existence. It’s something I obtained by chance on Senluo Star. As for its origin, the king of the soul beasts from Senluo Star, the Titan Ape, can vouch for me. What you’re about to see next is its ability in this area.”
As he spoke, a faint light flashed over Lan Xuanyu’s body, and he completely changed his appearance to that of a member of the Blue Sea Tribe he had taken on earlier.
Yan Xinghe himself was also a strong Soul Master, and he was taken aback when Lan Xuanyu began to change. It wasn’t just Xuanyu’s appearance that was changing, but his aura as well. In that instant, it was as if Lan Xuanyu had completely vanished, replaced by a Blue Sea Tribe member who could not have been more ordinary and whose energy fluctuations corresponded to that of a human second or three-ring Soul Master. All his aura was indistinguishable from that of a member of the Blue Sea Tribe.
In the next instant, Lan Xuanyu’s form changed, and around his body, space elements quietly fluctuated, transforming him into a member of the Sky Domination Clan, and furthermore, a powerful one at that. He even emitted an aura of a God Rank level, which gave Yan Xinghe yet another shock.
