Chapter 490: Fleet!

A211 Star System.

It has one young Sun and eleven terrestrial planets orbiting it.

Because the star system is near a large black hole.

Some spacetime characteristics of this star system fluctuate, and some natural disasters from the starry sky are also slightly more frequent.

However, this has also created the opportunity for rare minerals to appear in this star system.

It is just that it is somewhat unfriendly to the intelligent civilizations living within the star system.

Environmental mutations caused by ray storms, which occur with a frequency of about once every thousand years, often drive civilizations that have just developed into desperate straits.

Then, the civilization is forced to go through Samsara and start over again and again.

It was not until recently that they re-entered the Iron Age and began to grope for opportunities to cope with environmental mutations and preserve more of the flames of civilization.

With the large-scale entry of the Water Blue Star Civilization human fleet.

The indigenous civilizations on this planet, which was named Red Pillar Star by humans.

When they raised their necks on this day.

They saw steel behemoths that they could not understand floating in the high sky, obscuring the Sun and blocking the starlight.

Turning everything between heaven and earth into darkness.

At this moment, countless Red Pillar Star people knelt on the ground, praying for the forgiveness of the gods.

Even the Nobles and the wise men who were more knowledgeable and responsible for researching and preserving civilization also honestly bent their waists and knelt on the ground after witnessing the landing of the spaceships.

And began to doubt whether there really are gods and demons, Heaven and hell in this world.

The gap in strength meant that the Water Blue Star Civilization side did not choose to pretend to be gods or ghosts.

Likewise, they did not intend to treat these natives kindly or give them equal rights.

The fleet commanders were merely fulfilling the regulations of the Water Blue Star Civilization.

They soon discovered the group of people with the highest status among the natives.

They dispatched small spaceship-shaped Immortal Boats, and special forces composed of cultivators drove these Immortal Boats to directly exert the power of an Array, releasing divine light to instantly take away these indigenous high-level officials who were kneeling on the ground.

This operation had a unique visual impact, and while it greatly shocked the surrounding natives, it also made them more convinced that the steel behemoths in the sky were not ordinary objects and must come from the divinities in mythological stories.

The reason they came this time must be because someone among them had offended the gods, which brought about Godly Punishment!

It is just unknown how long this Godly Punishment will last and how many clansmen it will affect.

They waited uneasily for the punishment from the divinities in the high sky.

And the indigenous high-level officials who were taken away were installed with brain-computer chips and forcibly instilled with a large amount of linguistic knowledge.

After they could barely manage to communicate with each other.

They were arranged into a conference room.

And then, amidst the hearty laughter of the commander, the indigenous high-level officials signed the consent form.

Then they accompanied the commander and revealed smiles.

Isn't it just ceding a portion of land to build palaces for these messengers of the gods from the sky?

Isn't it just assisting in organizing the subjects to cooperate with the lords to labor for them?

What a big deal, they usually did the same thing anyway.

And this time, it was working for the lords from the sky; who wouldn't be grateful and eager to do it?

After the indigenous high-level officials returned to their respective territories with some small gifts.

It immediately caused an uproar in various indigenous settlements.

The "Sky People" became the most discussed topic among the slightly more knowledgeable people among the natives.

The vast majority of natives also felt at ease.

As long as it wasn't a Godly Punishment that made it impossible for everyone to survive, then it was fine.

As for letting a portion of people go to be laborers.

Let alone laborers, even if they were slaves or tributes, it was not something everyone could not accept.

Frequent natural disasters made the natives of this planet indifferent to life and death.

Their bottom line for material and spiritual needs was also low enough.

When the first batch of selected natives were sent to the Moon to work.

Even the indigenous high-level officials believed that these people would not be able to return.

They were afraid they would be treated as slaves and have their last drop of blood and sweat squeezed out.

However, not long after.

As the first batch of indigenous laborers who returned from vacation arrived back in their hometown wearing work uniforms.

All the natives were shocked.

They even questioned the treatment of the laborers at the first opportunity, strongly questioned it!

After all, where else could one eat three meals a day!

There was even a midnight snack for those working overtime!

After a period of time, there was also a short break to drink water.

By the way, that water was not the bitter water they usually drank, but water with enough sugar and salt added.

As for the work content, apart from the high pressure of learning in the early stages.

There was no heavy manual labor that everyone had understood at the beginning.

They only needed to cooperate with Steel Puppets that were smaller than them to enter the mine tunnels.

And when the Steel Puppets were interfered with and could not move, they just needed to use special tools to pack up certain things suspected to be crystals that had interfered with the machines.

The hardest work was nothing more than wearing heavy clothes, entering the depths of the Moon, and then finding the special minerals inside according to the detector and bringing them out.

During this period, not a single laborer encountered a work-related injury.

If someone felt pain, they could also request sick leave and receive medical treatment.

This was far better than when they were with the Noble and could only leave their fate to the heavens if they fell ill!

For a time, even though many natives said with their mouths that it was too absurd, impossible, and I will not believe it.

Their bodies honestly squatted at the door of the masters, and upon seeing the Noble master go out, they immediately crowded up to show favor, requesting that they must be allowed to contribute their efforts to the heavens next time.

The result, naturally, was that a large portion of the second batch of laborers came from the native Noble class.

Fortunately, in this era, it is difficult for pampered Nobles to be raised with such conditions.

And Human Civilization treated them all equally.

In any case, they were just thrown wherever they were needed to help.

The wages settled were simply a bit of easily preserved food.

The Human Civilization commander responsible for this star system watched as everything entered the right track.

Then, they took the fleet and left the A211 Star System.

Leaving behind only a preliminarily perfected interstellar base on the Moon Surface and more than ten small spacecraft.

For such a native civilization in the Iron Age, and one that clearly lacked mysterious supernatural abilities.

These remaining forces were enough to destroy them as simply as pinching a bug to death.

The highest person in charge left behind at the base was Major General Liu, who had not long ago been granted the rank of Major General by the Water Blue Star Human Alliance.

Most of the Water Blue Star people at this base were also former personnel of the Eastern Ancient Kingdom.

The number was around one thousand, and they were equipped with twelve Fo-Dao Cultivators who had achieved success in their practice to operate mass-produced Dharma Artifacts and Immortal Boat supplies.

Additionally, because the mineral resources of the A211 Star System were relatively precious and worth valuing.

According to the request of the Water Blue Star Human Civilization.

The supernatural side dispatched a Golden Core Spirit Beast to follow along, becoming the stabilizer of this troop.

This Golden Core Spirit Beast was a large snake covered from head to tail in cyan scales.

Speaking of which, it was not produced on Water Blue Star, but was an exotic species discovered on a subsequently explored native planet.

After being captured for its extraordinary natural talent, it was sent to the Water Blue Star Supernatural Headquarters.

After being trained, it was given the Golden Core opportunity to become a Golden Core Spirit Beast.

It was just that as the territory expanded, there were more and more exotic beasts.

Even with extraordinary talent, it could no longer be like before, where as long as it was a Water Blue Star product, it could receive the scraps Su Ping scattered along the way.

It was not just a Golden Core Spirit Beast; with good luck, one could become a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor or a Deity Transformation Demon Emperor.

Now... it was not that there were no leftovers left by Su Ping; there were also Avatars left behind by the earliest four great Demon Emperors to help with management.

It was just that because there were too many Spirit Beasts, who upgraded and who did not naturally required a set of long-term operating rules.

Even though this cyan large snake's talent was actually higher than that of the previous batch of Water Blue Star products.

Now it still had to wait for seniority and go on missions before it could obtain the opportunity to attempt a breakthrough.

The headquarters was also not afraid that the Spirit Beasts would not put in the effort.

After becoming a supernatural Spirit Beast, it was just like eating and drinking water.

Improving cultivation and breaking through the current realm had also become an instinctive drive for them, a craving for which they would give everything to obtain.

The cyan large snake had high intelligence.

Before being captured, it was already able to communicate with intelligent beings without barriers.

After becoming a Spirit Beast, not only could it speak human language, but it could even study knowledge and think about profound math problems with scholars.

It also chose a name for itself, calling itself Qingzhujun.

There was no profound meaning to it; it was all because it liked to eat green bamboo.

Even when it came, it stored bundles of high-quality green bamboo in its Storage Spirit Bag.

On this day, Qingzhujun woke up from meditation as usual, and after spitting out the medium-grade Spirit Stone it held in its mouth, it carefully used its tail to store it into the Storage Spirit Bag.

There was no help for it; this universe of stars did not lack energy, but it lacked the Spirit Qi for cultivation.

Without using Spirit Stones for cultivation, its cultivation would only regress instead of advancing, and even the Dharma Power it unleashed could not be replenished.

However, this was also another reason why the Spirit Beasts were loyal.

Without a continuous supply of Spirit Stones.

Once they left the control area of Water Blue Star Civilization.

No matter how powerful they were, it would be fake.

After tidying up the room, Qingzhujun planned to leave the Cave Abode and bask in the Sun under the Moon Surface.

To see if it could gain any insights this time.

Suddenly.

Qingzhujun felt something in its heart, its eyes narrowed into blood-red slits, and it looked toward the distant dark starry sky.

Over there, accompanied by abnormal Space Fluctuation.

Suddenly, one after another, black shadows appeared!

Such abnormal black shadows would naturally not be seen by others, but they could not escape Qingzhujun's eyes.

Qingzhujun was suddenly a bit excited.

It smelled the scent of merit.

Of course, as a Spirit Beast that could do math problems, it naturally would not impulsively run over.

Qingzhujun found Major General Liu Hua, who had also woken up early and started working.

Very quickly.

An alarm sounded at the Moon Base.

The workers who had finished their shifts and those starting their shifts all shuddered, and all wore expressions of confusion.

Then they saw the War Puppets begin to move one after another.

And they were forcibly driven back to their rooms.

This made these indigenous laborers, who had only just begun to live good lives, feel somewhat uneasy and worried.

Some were afraid that an accident had occurred and that the lords in the sky no longer needed them as laborers.

Among them, some indigenous people could not help but feel guilty for having gasped for air or slacked off for a few seconds while working.

……

The Moon Base was only a part of the entire base, one could even say a small part.

The bulk of the base was located underground.

Following the opening of the large gate.

Thousand-meter-class starships soared into the air one by one.

It is worth noting that on the starships, golden giant puppets were either crouching or lying down.

They were all works refined during this period by the two Cultivators inside the starships who practiced the secret arts of puppetry.

Compared to other places, the Moon Surface was least lacking in these metal materials.

They were also not afraid of waste.

After all, if there was a need, these golden puppets could also be treated as raw materials, thrown in to be broken down into truly valuable materials.

Although the Cultivators' cultivation levels were not considered high, only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

But the techniques they learned had undergone multiple revisions.

Those were the cream of the crop, even when placed in the Cultivation World.

Furthermore, after Su Ping raised his cultivation to Dao Integration across countless planets in the Galaxy.

He had carried out a localization improvement on these cultivation techniques.

Making them more suitable for the physiques of the local Cultivators in this universe.

Enabling the works produced by local Cultivators.

Under the same realm and same materials.

While they could not beat the batch with the top-tier talent and cultivation environments of the Cultivation World.

Ordinary ones, such as those Cultivators of the same techniques in Small Thousand Worlds, could still be surpassed with ease.

And besides these War Puppet giants.

The other Cultivators also each had their own secondary professions and had their own works during this period.

Facing this abnormal situation.

They were all full of confidence.

Qingzhujun shrank his body size to within ten meters, coiled in the command room, and watched the big screen together with everyone else.

On the big screen, that patch of dark starry sky was gradually magnifying.

However, it seemed to be affected by some kind of interference, and the central area was blurry.

The experts coughed and indicated that this was a normal situation.

Because of the influence of the black hole, there would be such interference waves in the nearby starry sky from time to time.

Even the latest detection equipment currently available could not ignore these interferences.

However, as the distance closed.

Qingzhujun spat out a small broken mirror from his mouth.

Infusing it with Dharma Power, the mirror projected a water screen.

In the water screen, the image of that airspace was projected.

Inside, there appeared, shockingly, starships that were pitch-black all over and oval-shaped.

These starships varied in size, with the smallest being about twenty meters long and five meters high.

The largest was a full ten thousand meters long and over three thousand meters high and wide.

Judging from this size.

One could tell that the interstellar civilization behind these starships should have a not-so-low level of technology.

It was just unexpected that they would suddenly appear in this A211 Star System.

Could it be that they also had their eyes on the precious minerals in this star system?

At the same time that the fleet on the Moon Surface was rapidly approaching.

This Qixie Jiandui also discovered them.

Or rather, it would be strange if they did not discover them.

Unlike appearing in a location with severe spatial interference, the base of the Human Civilization on Water Blue Star was placed out in the open, fair and square.

The traces produced by the ignition and rapid flight of those fleets.

As long as their technological power was not poor, they could be seen clearly.

This made the high-level officials in the Qixie Jiandui realize that the other side should have also discovered them and was heading toward them.

It was just that, judging from the technology observed previously, the other side's starships should not possess such a level of technology.

In addition, what was the situation with those metal creations on the other side's starships?

Was the other side some special civilization? Did they need to decorate their important starships like that?
