I Found A Planet-Chapter 470 - Awe, Reversal Of Power

Chapter 470: Awe, Reversal Of Power

After the piercing rays of light, the huge meteorite disappeared.

The dimension of the secret space disappeared.

Including the Wuyin Sage who lived in the secret space and sealed himself off, it seemed that he had also disappeared.

To cope with the era of disappearing Buddhist laws caused by the decline in the concentration of natural spiritual energy, the Wuyin Sage had even thought about targeting the spirit stones and ores of ordinary Protoss. This Wuyin Sage disappeared thusly in the endless white light.

Not even the smallest fragment of his remains could be found.

The Wuyin Sage, with the blood of billions of human lives on his hands, had since disappeared without a trace.

…

About a month later, inside an underground building in the Chen family’s fortress, a small secret meeting was convened.

“Have all the dead soldiers been safely returned? What’s the death and injury count?”

“All returned. There was no death or injury, the operation was smoother than expected.”

“Are you sure that the Wuyin Sage has fallen?”

“Uh… it’s not completely confirmed. We are certain that the meteorites and the secret sub-dimensional space have all disappeared. They were probably annihilated in the high temperatures and light waves.”

“This could be tricky. The strength of a Sage is beyond any natural logic. Even the explosion from an anti-matter bomb may not be enough to kill him. He may have escaped to another place in just an instant.”

“But it has been a month, and the Wuyin Sage has not made an appearance. So the probability that he has died should be greater than 50%. This butcher of the human race has received the retribution that he deserves,” this man gritted his teeth and said.

“Perhaps.”

The in-charge from the Federal government nodded. He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration for the other party, “The secret information and capabilities possessed by your family is amazing. Even if it is a broken branch, you’ve stood tall for 50 years amongst the Protoss. You’ve escaped being swallowed up time and time again. Privately, you’ve also come up with terrifying weapons that could kill a Sage to get revenge for humans. The Chen family really cannot be underestimated.”

“You flatter us, we’re not that powerful.”

“No, you’re being modest. The contributions of the Chen family this time around will never be forgotten. I express my deep and sincere gratitude on behalf of the Federation!”

The representative got up and gave a deep bow. He collected himself but revealed a pleading expression in the next moment. “The federal government has met with a catastrophe. Your family has upheld justice by undertaking this task of vengeance, and you remain the most outstanding as our fellow human compatriots. But… now, more than half of the federal population, economy, and military have been greatly damaged. Resources are seriously damaged. Recovery is weak, I don’t know how many years it will take to return to our previous state.”

“We’ve heard that many of the Chen family’s official branches have boarded superluminal spacecraft to go to the peripheral galaxies where they had set down roots and developed. They’ve reaped huge rewards decades down the road. It is rumored that there are seven or eight galaxies controlled by the Chens and that prosperity and level of development in these galaxies is comparable to those of a large country.”

“By now, the total population is close to tens of billions.”

“Overall, they are forces that we cannot look down on.”

“And when the human race was plagued by disasters, the Chen family has provided valuable help and got rid of the Wuyin Sage together. But what is of greater necessity to the Federation remains resources that can be used for production and some essential assistance which will help to accelerate the recovery of the Federation’s vitality.”

“I hope that the Chen family can help us a little in this regard so that the Federation can get out of these troubling situations and restore its strength as soon as possible. We’ll wait to destroy all the Protoss at a later date.”

“So, I’m asking your family to help me, please.”

In the video, the representative from the Federation gave another deep bow. His expression could almost be described as beseeching, “We need the assistance from your family.”

In the Chen family’s fortress, the representatives from the Chen family looked at each other in dismay. They could not come to a decision.

Because what the Federation was requesting was a little too much, it was like giving an inch and taking a mile. The Chen family had taken on great risk and had just helped to kill the Wuyin Sage. They contributed 70% to 80% of the efforts in that operation. But, let’s put that aside as it was a duty that they had to complete from the standpoint of the human race.

However, the Federation now wanted the Chen family to help in its reconstruction and restoration. They hoped that the Chens would provide the resources, equipment, and technology. The Federation had no intention of paying. They wanted the Chen family to provide all of that for free.

This behavior was rude! They were trying to take advantage of the Chen’s generosity.

The Chen family representatives could not make up their minds about these requests. Hence, they consulted Chen Jin’s opinion.

“Providing aid to the Federation…”

Chen Jin propped his chin on his hand and was lost in thought for a while.

After some thought, he sent a secret dispatch. He planned to understand how the situations of his official lineages had developed.

After half an hour, an electronic version of the “Development Report” landed in his hands.

He spent some time scanning through the report and could not help but open his mouth in awe.

Fast.

Too fast.

The development of the branches from his official lineages these past years was too fast.

It seemed that they had developed 16 high-value galaxies in a short period. After “setting off” the population bomb, the total population currently under their control had expanded to 22 billion (one-fifth of which went by the surname of Chen).

There was no need to mention the economic aspect. Each one was more prosperous than the next. They had maintained an average annual growth rate of more than 10% for several decades.

As for resources, he could pick a galaxy at random and its reserves of usable resources were ten times as much as solar system’s.

It could be described as a place full of opportunities, a place where the metaphorical gold was scattered everywhere.

There was no disturbance from the Protoss.

Two time-space cracks had been found in two of the galaxies where a steady stream of spiritual energy burst forth from the Heavenly Realm. The two galaxies were places that were very suitable for practitioners.

Therefore, due to the presence of such excellent conditions, the Chen family organized a large number of people with the aptitude for cultivation to go to these two galaxies to specifically nurture the practitioners.

Chen Jin also sent some research assistance to them by transferring most of the 5,000 geniuses to them. These were experiment participants who had been transformed into geniuses with “genius aptitudes” in the laboratory. This transformation had taken more than a decade.

Countless copies of the brilliant cultivation exercises derived from the server of the “Galaxy Era 2.0” were sent over.

Therefore, the combination of the above factors.

The development of those from Chen Jin’s direct lines of descent in these years could be described as heaven.

It seemed that there was almost no pressure at all. Their strength swelled like a balloon, growing wildly.

Chen Jin frequently received video communications from two other women who persuaded him to leave earth. They wanted him to go to the planet where they were and to freely enjoy life in retirement.

But Chen Jin refused both of them. He made them so mad.

And the meaning behind this lengthy description was this. It was a piece of cake if the wretched Federation that was so abused by the Sage wanted to restore its strength and get external assistance. As long as Chen Jin and a few of the seniors in-charge in the official branches of the Chen family gave the ok, aid supplies would soon reach the base camp at Mars.

But…Why should the Chen family do this?

Although the Chen family was a part of the federal government, they had a high degree of autonomy within the internal governance.

Before the Revival of Magical Powers and the return of the Protoss, the federal government has always firmly maintained a vaguely oppressive attitude towards them. They had employed many tactics to weaken the Chen family’s power.

The relationship between the two sides was not very good in the last hundred years or so. There was a lot of friction.

Now that the Federation had fallen on hard times, the Chens had to unanimously display some sympathy on the surface. But privately, many in the Chen family were happy by others’ misfortune.

They even thought that there was no way that the Federation could lead the fate of all mankind in its current state. It seemed that only the Chen family had such a capability.

As to whether or not to assist the Federation, only a few of the Chen family’s descendants expressed positive statements.

However, Chen Jin believed that they ought to assist the Federation as appropriate.

“The Federation are human beings, after all, it is the representative of the most supreme regime and it is also the target of the Protoss collective ire. It will be of no benefit to us if the Federation collapsed.”

“The power of the Protoss has been growing during these years and their numbers have also been expanding. They need more resources and living space. A mere solar system cannot satisfy their appetites. It will not be long before they start to make interstellar spaceships and announce that they will be expanding externally.”

“But if the Federation is gone, it will be our family who faces the direct expansion of the Protoss.”

“So…the Federation must not collapse! It is not yet time for the ultimate war with the Protoss. The Federation must stay.”

“How about this, give one billion tons of our precious mineral supplies every year and send over a few hundred of the geniuses who had participated in the Sage Plan to join the special task force that would fight against the evil encroachment of the Protoss.”

“As for how many geniuses would each branch send and how to apportion the resources, you can discuss and decide by yourselves.”

After finishing his words, Chen Jin hung up.

His agreement to aid the Federation was easily approved….. Although the official statement was that Chen Jin had separated from the branches, as their founder, his opinion still held weight.

…

On the other side, the Protoss had fallen into a bit of a mess.

Suddenly, they were offering rewards and initiated countless search activities.

Activities to find out the whereabouts of the Wuyin Sage.

This was because a certain space near the meteorite belt had suddenly lit up with a blinding light more than a month ago.

Although that instant of brightness lasted only a fraction of a second, all the creatures on earth felt as if there were two suns in the sky… They even thought that the second sun that appeared was brighter.

Then, it quickly disappeared.

But, visually, the scene was so exaggerated. Any normal person would subconsciously think that something had happened.

Then the senior administrators of the Protoss sent an investigation team to examine the situation.

But it happened in the complete vacuum of the universe, what could be found?

More than half a month later.

The head of the Tianyin Clan on earth suddenly discovered that the Tianyin Sage could not be contacted. The coordinates of the temple hidden in the meteorite belt were only known to a very small number of senior leaders in the clan.

After a round of verifications, suddenly, the head of the Wuyin Clan sat down on the ground, as if paralyzed. He did not want to think about it, but he could not stop the idea forming in his mind.

The supreme offering of the clan–the “Wuyin Sage,” had gone missing.

He also published several “searching for XXX notices” and listed the Sage as a missing person. They stopped pursuing the Sage’s whereabouts.

On the other hand, they announced to the outside world that “everything was all right, it was a false alarm, the Sage is still with us” to appease the people. But in fact, they feared causing chaos so they put on a calm facade.

…

A few months later.

They looked in every corner but could not find him.

The Tianyin clan and the three other Sages who joined the search concluded that the Wuyin Sage had died.

When they reached this conclusion, the top leaders of the Wuyin clan and the three Sages were stupefied.

“Who… Who did it? Who has the guts and the ability to kill the Sage?”

“Humans, it must be those humans,” A Sage said in a low voice.

“How is this possible? Do they have the ability to kill a Sage with just themselves? Impossible!” The elders of the Wuyin clan cried out in fear.

“In terms of cultivation prowess, it is impossible. But those humans know how to use the powers of various objects. The ultimate weapons they create can instantly produce a ‘second sun.’ Another Sage said, “This weapon was formerly known as a nuclear weapon. I never thought they would master it again.”

“This is also a warning.”

Finally, that Sage shook his head and said, “The Wuyin Sage had killed so many of these insignificant beings and it was not long before he received his retribution. This indicates that those humans are not simple, they still have some aces up their sleeves. We shouldn’t meddle or intervene in the war between the humans and the Protoss.

“Who do they think they are, they dare to threaten retaliation against us?”

“They are mere insignificant beings, they are nothing to fear… But the fall of the Wuyin Sage has proved their abilities.”

“In the future, we will not get mixed up in mortal affairs, no matter how bad the situation. We do not want to be stained by the cycle of karma.”

“Damn humans!”

They cursed them fiercely, but the three Sages had still reached a tacit understanding to “not intervene in mortal affairs.”

…

Since the Sages did not intervene in mortal affairs.

In a PK against the Protoss using conventional power, human beings were not afraid of the Protoss.

Under such circumstances, human strength and capabilities were getting stronger and stronger. Once again, the number of practitioners surged. Countless masters burst onto the scene.

On the Protoss’ side, they were riddled with chaotic fights internally; it was difficult to unite. Only profit was in the picture and only the strong were respected… The power of the Protoss steadily weakened under the disorderly and barbaric rule.
