Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1281 - 1247: Maturity Stage

Even if it were truly possible for the Barrier of the "Life Tree" to completely enclose the entire Star System, by then the size of the tree would probably not be smaller than the whole Blue Star. It would become a planetary celestial organism like the "Giant Turtle Star," and it's uncertain whether Blue Star Humans could withstand such a massive change in living space; the civilization's technological path would also face a tremendous challenge.

Even Chen Fei himself couldn't imagine everyone living on a giant tree—what if someone didn't think it through and decided to drop a "Tsar Plus" on it... To be honest, without the Barrier Domain, the "Life Tree" itself isn't more damage-resistant than Blue Star.

The mountains and rivers could shatter, and under gravity transform into lava, undergoing geological restructuring to recover as before—time changes everything, as the saying goes. But what could be done with a heap of broken wood chips? The cycle of biological resources is far more complex than geological changes.

Chen Fei shook his head vigorously, casting aside the notion of using the "Life Tree" to guard the Blue Star Human Civilization once and for all. It's simply not feasible; the biological resources needed for the "Life Tree" to grow into a planetary celestial body aren't something Blue Star can provide.

Lord Landon also noticed Chen Fei's absent-mindedness.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about some unnecessary things!"

Chen Fei smiled, not daring to speak of what had just crossed his mind.

Even leaking a tiny bit of this would likely scare the Blue Star Sovereigns witless. How could anyone accept the fact that a naturally occurring celestial planet suddenly turned into a plant-based one?

"From now on, your pressure will be increasing."

Louis Landon shifted his gaze towards Miyoshi Xuesen, who was "setting up a stall" on the bridge again, noting that this monk had become ineffective.

It's normal for those who do the dirty work to be unwelcomed, as no one knows whether this sneaky guy will stab them in the back. Not everyone has an S-Class Superpower User by their side to protect them. If he dares have any disloyal thoughts, the monk would have to grit his teeth and run a half or full marathon. Stab someone? Learn to run a marathon first! Being in his fifties, he'd better clean up and go to bed early!

After washing his hands of it, Miyoshi Monk's current main value lies in his high-level connections within the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee.

Now that these people have been caught in one fell swoop, and all thrown into the volcano mouth-like abnormal region of the "Water God Star," it equates to the end of the line…

"Heh! Reorganizing the Global United Defense Committee is just a matter of time."

Killing two birds with one stone, Chen Fei plans to use this opportunity to integrate the Global United Defense Committee into a compliant department, resolving previous internal conflicts and hidden dangers. Otherwise, they'll keep hindering progress in the future.

A continuous supply of various materials dispatched to Socotra Island by Blue Star Sovereigns is ongoing. Every day, a large number of standardized material containers pile up like mountains in the camp area, quickly being stored by Chen Fei in the Life Space of "Spatial Branding" or "Boundary Pearl."

Some of them are extracted to manufacture various tactical units, from weapons and ammunition to airships. Strategic reserves of this kind never suffice.

On the 14th day of the entire Global United Defense Committee trustees, along with their family members, being forced guests at the outer camp of the "Water God Star" Abnormal Region, the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty finally noticed something was off, having failed to seal the "leak."

In the waters surrounding the outer camp of the abnormal region, a large number of green plants appeared, with many vines emerging from the underwater or the sand dunes that had become islands—a scene full of vitality.

Initially harsh and lifeless, the desert's interior suddenly witnessed a plant explosion, a sight far from normal regardless of how one looked at it.

Trees take ten years to grow. These black vines change by the day, prompting the military of the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty to collect biological samples for identification at the earliest opportunity.

"Flying Ship Black Vine"!

The worst-case scenario has finally occurred.

Even with 24-hour ultraviolet lamp exposure, it still couldn't stop all "Flying Black Vine" spores from germinating and growing.

Some dunes that were abnormally swollen, with visible cracks and even collapses, were obviously nurturing gigantic bean pods inside that functioned like production lines, mass hatching "Pod Flying Ships."

Even if it were just one or two, or even a hundred "Pod Flying Ships," they pose no real threat to Blue Star, or even to the sovereignty of the Desert Peninsula.

But hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of "Pod Flying Ships" could spell trouble.

Should the "Flying Ship Black Vine" produce unchecked results with full force, not even the industrial production lines of Blue Star Civilization, combined with Chen Fei's "One Man Army" skill, could compare to its production capacity.

The "bitter fruit" that the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty sowed is flourishing just like those "Flying Ship Black Vines." Once the pods mature in bulk, it will mean colossal trouble for the local sovereignty.

Right on cue!

The trustees of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee are guests at the outer camp of the "Water God Star" Abnormal Region, and the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty immediately engaged in urgent consultations with them.

With no tigers in the mountains, monkeys reign as kings. Whether it's the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty or those committee trustees stranded for half a month, they suddenly experienced the meaning of a hot cup of tea before people leave only to find it turns cold after.

Chen Fei didn't simply throw all those committee trustees into the outer camp of the "Water God Star" Abnormal Region and do nothing. In fact, he just began his operations with the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee.

The Council's presence mainly served as the decision-making body, while the day-to-day operations of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee entirely relied on the system made up of various existing departments.

Now that the "head" of the Global United Defense Committee is gone, the "body" is still in Socotra Island, so Chen Fei found this "body" a new head—promoting the heads of various departments up one level, converting assistant roles to principal ones, and inserting mechanical beings when no suitable candidates were available, temporarily filling vacancies with AI "Adam" until suitable replacements could be found later.

After this round of operations, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee quickly restored normal operations, much to everyone's delight. Meanwhile, those former trustees remained ignorant of the situation, receiving no replies even when contacting Socotra Island.

Bang!~

A desert rising from beneath the water unexpectedly exploded, sending millions of tons of wet sand flying in all directions. Fully matured "Pod Flying Ships" burst through the sand, charging into the sky—some flying off, others heading straight for the outer camp of the "Water God Star" Abnormal Region.
