Even if a vine was severed, a new one would immediately grow to take its place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, retreat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All warships, on my command—retreat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by then, it was clearly too late to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enraged tree’s vines attacked indiscriminately, coiling around the warships like giant pythons to block their escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endless barrage of fire only managed to sever a few of its vines and couldn’t even scratch his trunk. It only served to enrage him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several warships were shot down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the warriors managed to board escape pods as their ships went down, and other warships were there to provide support, but there were still casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, the three remaining warships hastily rescued the survivors and retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the warships, caught in the vines, was playing music in an attempt to soothe the giant tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the enraged tree was clearly not so easily placated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crushed everything that made a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, however, this bought the surviving warships enough time to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned to space once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the central control room fell silent. After a long pause, someone finally grumbled, \"Damn it, that thing’s a monster. How are we supposed to fight it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the worst part is, we pissed it off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they felt the Energy Shield being struck again and again, everyone began to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Energy Shield won’t hold for much longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tree didn’t attack for the past few days, but we kept the shield active just in case, so it’s already consumed a great deal of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the external supply drops, we might not have even made it through the recent bout of bad weather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is so frustrating! Who provoked this Cosmic Beast anyway? Don’t they usually stay hidden in Deep Space?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be... because of the singing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief immediately fixed the speaker with a glare, his face dark with displeasure. \"Do not voice such baseless speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Jiang Qing has made immense contributions to both our Federation and to the Beastmen throughout the Interstellar space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you considered her merits before you so casually slander her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some looked ashamed, while others were unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a strong possibility. We’re not accusing her of anything, it’s just a reasonable hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why does the giant tree react only to her singing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Maybe the reason we can’t lure it away is that we’re using a recording. What if we asked her to sing live on a ship? Maybe then she could lead the Cosmic Beast away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you insane? She’s an S-level female!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We know she’s an S-level female. We have no intention of sending her to her death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once the Energy Shield shatters, it won’t just be the S-level female—every female on the Main Star will likely die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it would just be a test. We would certainly devise a foolproof plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone looked at the Chief’s dark, silent expression and added a reminder. \"Let’s be honest, which one of us here doesn’t have females in our family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the officials who are females themselves. Do you think we don’t know how precious they are?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps we could ask Miss Jiang herself what she thinks. If the worst happens, she won’t be able to escape either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not give it a try? We can dispatch all our warships and vessels to escort her, have every escape pod on standby, and provide close support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, the Chief also found himself wondering if such a plan would even work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said in a low voice, \"We’ll discuss this matter later. For now, ask Miss Jiang to come here. I’ll speak with her personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Qin arrived, she sat down quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief didn’t mention using her as bait. He simply wanted to discuss with her why the giant tree seemed to be drawn to music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, shouldn’t this be a matter for the research institute to study?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ve already studied it, but they came up with nothing. That’s why I’d like to ask you to cooperate with us on an experiment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of experiment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Energy Shield can withstand a few more days of attacks. I’d like to ask you to board a vessel and sing from a peripheral flight path to see how it reacts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to transmit the sound, with our advanced technology, that’s not an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief’s main goal was to test whether there was a difference between the effect of a recording and Jiang Qin singing live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it proved effective, only then would he ask Jiang Qin to try luring it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if there was no difference, then the matter would never be brought up again, and they would focus on cutting their losses to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it was within the range of the Energy Shield and didn’t require leaving the planet, Jiang Qin was naturally willing to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could already guess the possible outcomes of the test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: it wouldn’t work, and everyone on the planet would have to fend for themselves to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: it would work, in which case she would probably have to go lure the beast away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’To be honest, she was scared.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her life was so happy now. She had several handsome and considerate husbands, and a lovely daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was another little life on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At a time like this, she was selfish. She didn’t want to take the risk.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree’s power was there for all to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It was precisely because she knew how terrifying it was that she hesitated.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She was afraid of dying, but she was even more afraid of watching the people she cared about die before her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She didn’t possess some grand sense of righteousness, nor did she think there was anything particularly noble about sacrificing herself to save millions.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But if taking this one risk could give the people she cared about a chance to survive, she was tempted.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, it wasn’t a guarantee that she would die...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant tree was clearly enraged. It relentlessly attacked the planet, even using all of its vines to entwine the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Main Star’s natural weather system, the entire planet would have already been plunged into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drones sent out to interfere with it were all destroyed without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the drones playing music could survive, but now, even they could only keep it quiet for half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that half-hour, it would begin to thrash its vines about impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, safely escaping the Main Star would be incredibly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Energy Shield shattered, the planet would face its doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her silence, the Chief didn’t press her. He just sighed and played a video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video showed numerous small vessels attempting to flee the Main Star. All of them were struck down by the giant tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the result of probes sent out by the great houses. No ship can escape its perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with multiple ships working in concert to create a diversion, none could escape safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve become beasts trapped in a cage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","637082540ed644fb47ffa1f9547c09ad83dff9a19ae775461990bebf2a94d028","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-496","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-494",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
