Chapter 3135: The Fundamental Conflict Between the Natives of the Material Plane and the Conquerors of the Astral Plane

~7 min read 1,338 words

The words of Pulitatisi were like a giant boulder crashing into a calm surface of water; the council members had received news that this meeting was to discuss the topic of Psionic that had only recently begun to circulate, even though they had already understood the relevant inside information through various channels beforehand.

However, their perspective was still revolving within the current Plane, and even limited to the Xilu region of this Plane, while the words of Pulitatisi suddenly pulled everyone's perspective to the level of the Universe.

How could this not make everyone extremely astonished!

An impatient council member disregarded the inherent procedures of the meeting, immediately interrupted Pulitatisi's speech, and asked:

"Why would casting our gaze toward the Astral Plane attract powerful enemies? Are we not also exploring the Astral Plane? And who exactly are those enemies?"

"Daer, I know you are anxious, but could you please let Pulitatisi finish speaking first? It won't be too late to ask then. Among so many of us here, no one is more leisurely than you!"

As Speaker, Badijiaer naturally had to step out to preside over the process at this moment. He looked at Pulitatisi and said, "Please continue!"

"Very well."

Pulitatisi was not angry because of Daer's interruption; he could even understand the other party, because when he learned that the Main Plane actually had a human nation dominated by Psionic Mages, he was also shocked.

Therefore, he was not only helping Netheril and the Main Plane now, but also helping himself. He did not wish to be enslaved by those evil Astral Plane conquerors before his hometown could rescue him or before he could contact his hometown.

However, also because of Daer's interruption, Bimeimeitisi decided to adjust the order of his speech and first answer the questions that Bimei and a small number of council members were concerned about:

Xia Shao did not believe that if those Astral Plane hunter natives could track down to the Main Plane, they would definitely wage war against the Main Plane without hesitation. As for whether the goal was enslavement, he was not certain.

"As for who these conquerors are, there should be more detailed investigation reports in my hometown, but when I was in my hometown, I never thought that I would have a day where I would encounter Astral Plane conquerors, so I was unable to consult the relevant reports in advance.

"Psionic Mages explore the Astral Plane differently from us; they can break into the Astral Plane directly by relying on powerful thoughts, but doing so almost inevitably stirs up an Astral Wind in the Astral Plane sufficient to affect a large area.

……

"Everyone should not be completely ignorant of the Astral Plane; you should know how difficult it is to stir up an Astral Wind in the Astral Plane. If the Astral Wind that everyone here can stir up in the Astral Plane can only cover an area as large as this meeting hall, then a Psionic Mage can at least stir up an Astral Wind on the scale of Seventon.

Later, as I grew up, I slowly learned that while Astral Plane conquerors are powerful, they are not invincible. The Holy Golden Dragon Empire won the vast majority of wars against Astral Plane conquerors. As for the purpose of those Astral Plane conquerors—

Such a reason was somewhat outrageous, but some council members soon understood it, while those who knew little about the Astral Plane waited patiently for Bimeimeitisi's further explanation.

But regardless, such powerful enemies were undoubtedly full of aggression.

Not to mention, that time when returning to the Main Plane, he even witnessed Pulita die before his eyes with his own eyes. If the other party had not purchased a Resurrection Rise in advance, there would be no such person as Pulita in Netheril today.

That time in the Astral Plane, he saw the hunter's giant ship descend from afar and could not make it in time to support Pulita, so he left a moment early. (Entering at the same time, they would also return at the same time when leaving; Pulita stayed a while longer than Xia Shao, and when returning, he was still with Xia Shao, but the actual time elapsed on his body was more than Xia Shao's.)

……

The words of Kelifutisi once again triggered the contemplation of the council members. Council members with experience in Astral Plane exploration naturally understood the concept of being able to stir up an Astral Wind in the Astral Plane.

Speaking of this, Kelifutisi revealed an expression of recollection. He did indeed need to recall, because this memory was already somewhat distant for him. It could be traced back to his childhood, when his mother used those evil Astral Plane conquerors to scare him, saying that if he was not obedient, he would be captured and enslaved by the Astral Plane conquerors.

When Kelifutisi mentioned the Astral Plane conquerors, Xia Shao, because he thought of his past experiences, almost subconsciously cast his gaze toward Pulita, who was sitting not far from him, and Pulita also seemed to have a telepathic connection, casting his gaze toward him.

As for Pulita and Suo En, they were not so lucky. The former's incarnation was reduced to ashes and even traced back to the main body; the latter, as an Eternal Holy Spirit, also paid a heavy price, losing his Time Anchoring with the Main Plane. It is unknown how long in the future it will be before he can reconnect. For the current era, Suo En is equivalent to dead.

Xia Shao also thought of his several trips to the Astral Plane because of this. He himself could stir up a small Astral Wind, and it might not even be as large as this meeting hall, but even so, it had shocked Bimei.

But indirect knowledge is never as intuitive as the personal experience he and Pulita had. Almost the moment Kelifutisi mentioned the Astral Plane conquest, they produced corresponding associations.

"So, please listen carefully to what I say next, because this concerns the most fundamental conflict between us natives of the Material Plane and those Astral Plane conquerors.

And those few from Yita, except for Badijiaer who had already communicated with Kelifutisi in advance, the others still had a trace of confusion on their faces!

He really found it hard to imagine who could stir up an Astral Wind on the scale of Seventon.

Both of them had astonishment in their eyes that only the other could read. In fact, when he returned from the Astral Plane, because of Pulita's death, he had reported his Astral Plane experience to Yita, and Yita had even specially sent people to the Astral Plane to investigate.

"Powerful Lingneng Dashi will become exceptionally powerful in the Astral Plane, but not every Lingneng Dashi can control their consciousness well. By the time they discover that their thought storms have attracted powerful enemies, that moment is already too late."

Just as Xia Shao and Bimeimei were quietly exchanging information with their eyes, Kelifutisi's narration continued, "I know everyone is very curious about who those Astral Plane conquerors are and what their purpose is in attacking the Plane where the Psionic Mages are located.

"They want to occupy the Material Plane to cultivate their offspring!"

"Based only on the information I know, I cannot judge the true identity of those conquerors, but their purpose in conquering the Material Plane, because it is widely circulated, I believe it should be true."

Moreover, the Astral Plane conquerors mentioned by Kelifutisi also made Xia Shao think of his encounter with Bimeimei and Suo En in the Astral Plane. That kind of giant ship and the hunter natives who launched attacks without a word were all impressive.

This kind of ability has no necessary connection with Spellcasting ability; the magnificence and vastness of thought and spirit are the key factors, and in this aspect, it is precisely the field that Psionic Mages are best at.
