The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 504 - 398: Ancestral Land, Trial Truth, Major Event (Part 2)
Theoretically speaking, the Gugu Bird has already been "handed over" to the state by him, and he accepted the reward given by the state.
Now following him again... it doesn’t feel quite right, does it?
"What do you mean by returning? It was always yours."
Yu Wentong said indifferently, "Earlier you mentioned trading the Phoenix Egg for some Secret Realm Items from the Merit Shop. I initially thought about packing all of them for you.
But those guys are extremely stingy; they got rid of you with just two pieces of junk behind my back.
This little thing came back just in time.
The scraps they gave you aren’t even worth the remaining eggshell..."
Lu Yuan nodded, not saying anything more.
The Fly Shuttle carried the two as they shuttled through the clouds.
About an hour later, Lu Yuan, through the communicator that Yu Wentong had re-allocated for him, realized they were now in the western part of Sum Country.
Just as he was about to ask Yu Wentong how much longer.
The Fly Shuttle began to ascend continuously.
After breaking through several layers of clouds, a giant dark blue spacecraft, resembling a super airborne fortress, appeared in Lu Yuan’s sight.
"This is...."
Lu Yuan gazed blankly at the ship; compared to it, the Fly Shuttle they were in seemed like a bee returning to the hive.
The Fly Shuttle headed straight towards the spaceship.
As they got closer, Lu Yuan saw a ring-shaped large hole at the bottom of the spacecraft radiating a magnetic glow, towards which the Fly Shuttle flew.
"Departure."
Yu Wentong glanced at the ship, then suddenly smiled, reached out to pat Lu Yuan’s shoulder, and teasingly said, "Ready, Little Lu Yuan?
This is your first journey beyond the stars... the starry sea is right ahead..."
"Uh...."
Lu Yuan was suddenly struck by an indescribable emotion, rendering him speechless for a moment.
He stared at the ever-approaching entrance of the ship, his emotions in turmoil.
.....
"Boarding, my lord."
Distant Star Federation, within a spacecraft launch base.
A tall man with purple hair tied in a short ponytail at the back hummed softly, calmly boarding the spacecraft followed by a male and female bodyguard.
The purple-haired man walked inward along the spacecraft’s passageway, with everyone he encountered showing respect and greeting him.
"Greetings, Lord Thor."
The purple-haired man would occasionally nod slightly in response, maintaining a demeanor of composure and indifference throughout.
Compared to two months ago, the purple-haired man’s appearance and physique hadn’t changed.
But his aura seemed to have grown more gloomy and reserved.
Upon reaching an isolated room deep within the ship, the purple-haired man walked to the window, gazing coldly at the ground growing more distant below, expressionless.
Voices of the two accompanying bodyguards came from behind.
"This spaceship doesn’t even have spatial jump capabilities, it’s clumsy and slow like an antique, probably only able to conduct ultrashort distance cosmic flights, unable to maneuver freely within a galaxy either....
It’s hard to imagine this is already the most advanced mode of transportation on this planet..."
One complained while exhaling slightly, saying, "Luckily, our aircraft is almost repaired; once we completely leave this planet, it should be ready for our lord to use."
The purple-haired man quietly listened to the two speak, without any expression on his face throughout.
A close inspection would reveal a large puddle of thick black fluid under his feet, slowly seeping into the almost impervious floor crevices beneath.
The spacecraft rapidly ascended, its speed increasing.
"Beep-beep-beep——"
Suddenly, a communication device chimed among the two individuals behind him.
One of them checked the message, their expression slightly different, and smiled up at the purple-haired man, saying, "These natives have realized there’s a problem with their mecha, desperately investigating the cause in frustration.
They would never guess, even in gene collapse, that the missing components were actually ’eaten’ by our lord."
As "extra-galactic guests," they found the message amusing.
Just like modern humans playing with zoo monkeys, the enormous gap in civilization levels gave them an unparalleled sense of superiority.
Though the initiator, the purple-haired man didn’t even raise an eyelid upon hearing the news.
He continued to quietly "infiltrate" the spaceship beneath his feet, ensuring its successful arrival at the destination while exploiting everything beneficial to him.
The strength of their race is beyond imagination for ordinary cosmic beings.
The majority of matter in the starry cosmos can become "nourishment" for their growth.
Just a bit of soil can quickly grow into a towering tree that reigns over the starry sky.
"Ancestral land trials.... higher civilization beings..."
With a calm demeanor, the purple-haired man watched as the view outside the window gradually turned jet-black, matching the blackness reflected in his pupils, where mysterious whirlpools seemed to gently whirl.
"A pretty good start..."
"I can hardly wait with anticipation..."
...
The universe.
The starry sky.
The dazzling galaxy, a majestic spectacle.
All of Lu Yuan’s beautiful fantasies about the starry sky.
Were shattered after Sum Nation’s "Sky Bear" spaceship formally entered the starry sky....
"The difference from imagination is too vast.."
Lu Yuan stood by a window of the spacecraft, looking out at the pitch-black starry sky that occasionally flickered with points of light, and lamented somewhat helplessly.
There’s no magnificent galaxy.
Only cold, desolate, and lifelessness, accompanied by a spontaneous and deep-seated sense of loneliness.
Once deprived of the land upon which survival depends, a natural sense of tension and panic arises.
This is a psychological "sense of weightlessness."
No matter how powerful you are.
As long as you haven’t reached the level of crossing the starry cosmos with sheer physical prowess... it will be there.
It’s like suddenly throwing an ordinary person onto a small raft floating on the vast ocean, the feeling of losing reliance is really gripping.
Yet, to commemorate his first cosmic journey, Lu Yuan nonetheless took out his phone and snapped a few photos of the scene outside the window "click click".
"When I get back, I’ll show these to dad, mom, and Lu Jing..."
With such thoughts, Lu Yuan carefully saved the commemorative photos.
At this moment, a clear and rhythmic sound of footsteps reached his ears.
He turned his head to see Yu Wentong naturally walking towards him, holding two cups of cola.
The corners of the eyes slightly drooped.
Seemingly in a good mood.
"There’s an interesting bit of news, want to hear it?"
Yu Wentong handed him a cup of cola.
Lu Yuan took it, taking a big sip, trying to fill the "emptiness" inside him with the familiar taste of this carbonated beverage.
After taking a big gulp of cola, Lu Yuan exhaled lightly and then asked, "What’s the news?"
Yu Wentong smiled, "In the past during every cosmic trial, the Distant Star Federation always dispatched two Super God-level Mechas, and this year’s no exception.
I just got the confirmed news that one of the top three Super God-level Mechas, the ’Albus Apollo,’ failed to launch; reportedly, the damage exceeded seventy percent...."
"Uh..."
Lu Yuan, holding his cup of cola, paused, stunned in place.
"A Super God-level Mecha failed to launch, and it was damaged?"
He wondered if he misheard.
"I had the same expression as you when I first heard it."
Yu Wentong said, nibbling on a straw as she gazed lazily and contentedly at the pitch-black starry scene outside the window, "Apparently there’s a mole inside the Distant Star Federation who removed many key components from the Mecha.
Now the people from the Far Star Assembly are going crazy, conducting frantic investigations everywhere while also being wary of being investigated...
Damage to a Super God-level Mecha...
Tsk tsk, such a major incident; I wonder how many will be stripped of their caps or heads..."
Lu Yuan listened as though hearing an incredible tale narrated by Yu Wentong.
He still found it unbelievable.
Come on, that’s a Super God-level Mecha, the planet’s top warfare weapon!
How audacious are those people, to dare embezzle such things.
Savoring the thought a while longer, Lu Yuan could only mutter inwardly — "Amazing!".
"Your pressure has lightened quite a bit again...."
Yu Wentong, smiling squintly at him, then lightly clinked her cola cup against his.
"Cheers."
The two sipped their cola, standing side by side at the spaceship window, sipping cola while gazing at the scenery outside.
Feeling joyful, utterly leisurely.
