Chapter 1938

Above the lunar orbit, the warship slowly came to a halt, hovering above the lunar surface.

On the gray lunar plain, the wholly silver-white triangular warship stood like an ancient monument, silently erect.

Inside the main control room, Ya Lian lowered his head, following Lin An with a hint of respect. Watching Lin An pretend to study the warship, a flash of contempt crossed Ya Lian's eyes.

A monkey is a monkey! No matter how special the monkey, it's still a monkey!

If Lin An could figure out the technical principle of their warship, he could even eat the moon!

Although the warship's grade is not high, it still embodies the Alliance's most core technology. Moreover, the crucial transition method is based on the rules of their civilization's strongest!

Don't say a mere Fourth Stage could figure it out; even a peak Silver Core couldn't!

"Lord Lin An, if you are truly interested, you can actually join the Alliance. You might not know, but although the Body System is strong in combat, breaking through to the Fifth Stage is also difficult."

"Without the corresponding flesh-and-blood materials, it's nearly impossible to break through to the Fifth Stage. Especially... if you want to treat the Ghost Skull mission as an advancement mission, this type of mission may not necessarily offer such rewards."

Ya Lian suppressed his displeasure and began to persuade Lin An.

Although his life was in Lin An's grasp, his innate pride still made him want to seize back the initiative!

A primitive relying on force! Relying on what they left behind to capture them, this is utterly absurd!

Seeing Lin An turn his head toward him as expected, Ya Lian felt certain and continued speaking:

"If you wish to join us, the Alliance can fully provide the resources you need. Joining the Alliance, you will not only enjoy high-level instruction but also receive the Alliance's protection! This is a great boon!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that many civilizations with a dozen or so Fifth Stage beings weep and beg to join the Alliance, yet the Alliance refuses them!"

His face full of arrogance, as he spoke Ya Lian couldn't help but straighten his back.

"I must admit, your 'talent' is indeed special. If I step in, you and your civilization have a good chance of joining the Alliance! Gaining the favor of a certain big shot, reaching a higher level is not impossible!"

"Star-Destroying Level! Shatter-Star Level! Silver Core Level! The Alliance's years of accumulated experience and research absolutely surpass your imagination!"

He doesn't mind taking Lin An as a vassal, and in passing turning their situation around. After saying that, Ya Lian waited confidently for Lin An's reply.

At first Ya Lian was indeed frightened by Lin An, but after thinking it over, it's just that. Lin An is nothing but an ignorant native! He may not be as strong as Lin An, but the power behind him could crush this kid with a single finger!

Besides that, Lin An doesn't dare kill them, is it not because he fears the Alliance behind them?

However, contrary to Ya Lian's expectation, hearing only a light laugh from Lin An, he calmly looked at him:

"No interest, I don't think you can help me with anything. However, I am quite interested in your spatial rules."

"I'm curious, do you really die instantly after leaking the principle?"

As the words fell, Ya Lian's face changed abruptly, seeing Lin An suddenly revive killing intent! Startled, he hastily waved his hands:

"No no! No! Lord Lin An, I guarantee everything I said is true! You should be able to realize that our spatial rules come from that one; how could he possibly let us leak them out?!"

"I can only tell you, our spatial rules are very special, even coming from a higher-level cognition! Even if I died, it would be fine, but the Alliance side would even trigger an alarm immediately! By then, you and your civilization would face extinction!"

After swallowing his saliva, a few seconds later Ya Lian saw Lin An nod thoughtfully, the killing intent dissipated, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, silently cursing nonstop.

These barbarians! Truly ignorant and violent monkeys!

Hastily changing the subject, Ya Lian forced out an ugly smile:

"Let's not talk about that, Lord Lin An, how could you think we can't help you? Although the Body System is rare, your rules should be electromagnetic rules, right? The Alliance has exchanged many electromagnetic rules with the System; these are priceless treasures!"

"I can give you a piece of news! Given your special situation, you actually have a good chance of becoming Fifth Stage and participating in the Alliance's Starlight War! Compete for rankings!"

"The rewards for the rankings would even move a top-tier Silver Core Level! Rumor has it the highest reward even comes as a gift from a certain supreme existence! And to participate in the Starlight War, you can only do so through a high-level civilization like ours!"

"Starlight? Supreme? What is that? A System mission?"

Lin An raised his eyebrows, somewhat unexpectedly hearing Ya Lian's information.

He could see that this guy never gave up, still wanting to 'subdue' him with his identity as a Creator member. To this, Lin An just dismissed it as nonsense, too lazy to bother.

He has seen too many so-called Alliances on the stellar battlefield.

"Even Fifth Stage civilizations are used as cannon fodder; if he joined, his fate would only be worse. Put nicely, it's being a vassal; put bluntly, it's being a dog."

Completely unaware of Lin An's thoughts, seeing Lin An ask, Ya Lian's face showed a mysterious expression before he slowly spoke:

"The Starlight War has nothing to do with the System; it is a death competition spanning several star clusters organized by a higher-level civilization!"

"You also don't need to ask who is behind me; no civilization knows that, we only know it is a force so powerful it's unimaginable."

"The purpose of the Starlight War is to select a batch of extremely promising Fifth Stage beings; if you can break into the top ten thousand, Fifth Stage Equipment and various resources and technologies are easily obtainable! If you can break into the top thousand, even Shatter-Star Level beings will vie to invite you to join their civilization as a high-level member!"

"Compared to gaining rewards from System missions, this super competition is the key for most civilizations to acquire resources!"

While speaking, Ya Lian looked at Lin An with both some excitement and some jealousy.

"For the vast majority of struggling civilizations, they choose to enter missions, usually driven to a dead end, really having no points to drag on. Or else, the civilization's potential is exhausted, and the strongest urgently needs to break through to the next stage."

Compared to the horror of various disasters and missions, becoming mercenaries and scouring civilizational ruins is their main means of acquiring resources. Under the Apocalypse, in fact civilizations after the Fifth Stage and before the Fifth Stage have no difference.

"It's just that one survives in the zombie's mouth, the other survives in the midst of catastrophe. Everyone is a scavenger, searching for food in urban ruins and civilizational ruins."

"And the Starlight War is the best way for an individual to contend for resources on behalf of their civilization!"

"Lin An, this damned monkey who walked in dogshit luck! Thanks to the Body System, he's likely to achieve a decent ranking in the Starlight War! After all, the Body System is truly aberrant in small-scale combat!"

"Rankings?"

"What about the top one hundred, or even first place?"
