Wandering Meteor-Chapter 129: Going Their Separate Ways

The Light Synthesis Civilization sought help from the Wandering Alliance because they indeed faced danger.

But this danger was not from an Alien Civilization; rather, it stemmed from internal disagreements.

Originally, after a war, nearly half of the one hundred Cosmic Battleships of the Light Synthesis Civilization had been lost, with the remaining forty observing the fierce battle between the two Constant Stars while heading out towards the Galaxy Nebula. However, not long into their journey, sudden issues arose with ten of the Cosmic Battleships.

Upon inspection, the Light Synthesis Civilization confirmed that these ten battleships had sustained some damage during combat, with critical engine parts suffering severe wear and needing replacement to maintain interstellar travel.

Unexpectedly for the Light Synthesis Civilization, the materials transport within the Cosmic Battleship fleet had been destroyed during the war by the Crown Hole Radiation of Constant Star Gold, vanishing all the stored materials on board.

At this point, it’s necessary to revisit the details of the Light Synthesis Civilization’s escape plan.

From the beginning of their escape plan design, the Light Synthesis Civilization took into account the dangers that fill the universe. Thus, every Cosmic Battleship they built, apart from carrying a large number of Light Synthesis People, also possessed full combat capabilities, with every Light Synthesis person able to become a soldier when necessary.

Moreover, within the composition of the one hundred Cosmic Battleships, the Light Synthesis Civilization designated one ship as the central command vessel, serving as the command center for the civilization, with two additional ships set aside as materials reserve vessels (deputy command ships), primarily for storing various kinds of supplies.

This included, but was not limited to, battleship parts, medical equipment, medicinal drugs, and more.

Due to the unique biological constitution of the Light Synthesis People, which doesn’t require eating, there was no need to stockpile food.

It can be said that the Light Synthesis Civilization had been very cautious. They worried that if they placed all the materials on one battleship and it was destroyed, there would be no spare supplies available. That’s why they designated two materials ships and planned that during encounters with enemies, the command ship and materials ships would be positioned centrally and not engage in combat actively.

However, what the Light Synthesis Civilization did not anticipate was that their adversary would be a Celestial Civilization. freēnovelkiss.com

The level of energy shot by the Celestial Civilization was terrifyingly powerful, not only destroying peripheral warships but also instantly demolishing the two materials vessels and the command ship located in the middle.

This left the Light Synthesis Civilization with absolutely no time to react.

After the loss of the command ship and the two materials ships serving as deputy command, the Light Synthesis Civilization was grief-stricken and thrown into chaos, but the remaining Light Synthesis People quickly pulled themselves together and reestablished a new command vessel.

They believed that although they had lost their supplies, it was not fatal. They didn’t need to eat, and as long as there were no problems with their Cosmic Battleships, they could still escape from the Galaxy Nebula, then find and settle on an uninhabited hospitable planet after fleeing the Galaxy Nebula.

The initial plan was solid, but plans often cannot keep up with changes. Unexpectedly, during the journey, issues developed with ten Cosmic Battleships that required replacement parts. Since the materials ships were destroyed, they no longer had spare parts in reserve, and they could only scour the other Cosmic Battleships for some old spare parts. After searching all forty Cosmic Battleships, they found only three old engine parts, leaving seven Cosmic Battleships unrepairable.

Consequently, regarding this problem, internal disputes broke out within the Light Synthesis Civilization.

The Light Synthesis People on the damaged battleships proposed that the individuals from the seven Cosmic Battleships be reassigned to the remaining operational ones.

However, this proposal was quickly vetoed because the Light Synthesis Civilization, in order to save as much time and resources as possible, had already squeezed 10 million people onto each Cosmic Battleship, making it impossible to accommodate another 70 million people from seven other Cosmic Battleships. It would create an excessive burden for the Cosmic Battleships.

Subsequently, someone proposed seeking aid from the Wandering Alliance and forming a life community with them.

This plan was the most ideal, as riding on the Shunfeng Star of the Wandering Alliance would be faster and safer than piloting their own Cosmic Battleships.

However, this plan was still opposed by some, as certain Light Synthesis People feared that by asking for help from the Wandering Alliance, they would lose their sovereignty and become vassal puppets of the Wandering Alliance.

In the end, two voices emerged within the Light Synthesis Civilization.

One was the Light Synthesis People from the seven damaged Cosmic Battleships who insisted on the plan for the sake of their own survival; the other was the Light Synthesis People from the remaining Cosmic Battleships who opposed the plan because they did not want to become a vassal.

In this way, the Light Synthesis Civilization completely split into two factions. Due to the Plant and Animal Dual Attribute of the Light Synthesis People, physical conflict was rare even when there were disagreements. As a result of peaceful negotiations, both factions of Light Synthesis People respected and understood each other’s decisions, and decided to part ways.

One faction of Light Synthesis People continued to fly towards the Galaxy Nebula on their good Cosmic Battleships.

Another faction sought rescue from the Wandering Alliance and formed a life community with them to escape the Galaxy Nebula.

When Earth Civilization within the Wandering Alliance received the distress message from the Light Synthesis Civilization, Lu Chen also learned about the overall situation and its causes.

Considering that the Light Synthesis Civilization’s battleships were damaged and partly due to his own reasons, and also being very curious about the life forms of the Light Synthesis People, Lu Chen and Earth Civilization agreed to extend a helping hand.

However, offering help did not mean directly forming a life community.

Lu Chen was quite cautious; they decided to first rescue the Light Synthesis People. After serious discussions and inspections, they would then decide whether to allow the other party to join their own life community coalition.

Immediately, Lu Chen dispatched the Metal Planet Wandering, instructing it to bring back the seven damaged Light Synthesis Battleships.

Considering that the Wandering Alliance was currently fleeing the Galaxy Nebula, and that Wandering, as a Celestial Civilization, would be faster in the rescue, able to bring back seven Cosmic Battleships all at once and save more time, Lu Chen did not dispatch the Cosmic Battleships of Earth Civilization but sent Wandering instead.

At this moment, Wandering, having grown to a mass of 102 planetary mass units, broke away from its orbit. An immensely large Annihilation Engine appeared at its rear and it flew towards the coordinates of the Light Synthesis Civilization.

After a period of high-speed flight, Wandering finally encountered the seven damaged Cosmic Battleships. It directly controlled gravity to attract all seven damaged Cosmic Battleships to the Metal Planet, then carried the seven Cosmic Battleships and the Light Synthesis People aboard back home.

During the return trip, to get Wandering back to the Wandering Star System faster, Lu Chen used his own gravity to pull Wandering, accelerating it, and with the push of Wandering’s Annihilation Engine, the speed quickly reached half the speed of light.

Eventually, Wandering and the seven Cosmic Battleships returned to the Wandering Star System in a very short time.

Next, Wandering continued to revolve around Constant Star Lu Chen, while Earth Civilization began to contact and inspect the Light Synthesis People inside the seven Cosmic Battleships...
