Chapter 576: Bleem's Interstellar Apostle

Everyone remained reserved for only a few seconds before they began to sweep away the food like wind blowing through clouds. Gasimi felt she was quite a big eater, but she hadn't expected Li Hao and Gaia to be such gluttons as well. The food of the Celestial race tasted quite good, and Li Hao was never a picky eater; he now possessed a "cosmic stomach," and the main feature was that these foods provided extremely rich energy. It was unclear what other energies were contained within them, and the beverages the Celestials often drank were the same, all containing abundant energy. As for the texture, it was neither good nor bad. In fact, Li Hao suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for little Youzi, with a bottle of beer in his left hand and a cigarette in his right—simple, unadorned, yet very nourishing.

Aoliweina and Kuta were both very happy and felt it was a matter of prestige. This was also a habit of the Sea People; the Sea People were famous for their cumbersome rules, but who could blame them when this civilization was particularly wealthy? They monopolized some particularly popular items, all of which were endless sources of wealth. The Prophecy Fish Pearl alone could bring huge income to the Helavis Empire. The poor rely on studying, while the rich rely on eating.

During the meal, Gaia displayed his excellent social skills. He was well-informed; after all, he was a Celestial noble. He had a whole repertoire of interesting stories, and his ability to coax others was peerless. He had already keenly discovered that as long as he hinted that Kuta admired her older sister, Aoliweina would be very happy, and their relationship would improve instantly.

There was a reason for Gaia being so enthusiastic. He was indeed a member of the Rastaya Family, but the problem was that he had over two hundred competitors of the same generation. This competition was damn brutal; he needed to prove his value to the family. Simply put, his noble pedigree was relatively low.

Aoliweina and Kuta did not have such worries; the two were absolute direct descendants, the kind that would have a bountiful harvest regardless of drought or flood.

Gasimi was relatively silent. Although the grievances between the Celestials and the Zerg had existed for a very long time, some Celestials and Sea People still didn't quite look favorably upon the Insectoids—a bit like how white people used to look at black people in human history—and there was a clear distance in their speech.

"Have you heard about that recent legend?" Aoliweina asked suddenly.

"Which legend?... Damn, are you talking about that one? Of course I've heard of it; it's already been blown out of proportion!" Gaia's expression was a bit exaggerated.

"What legend? How come I haven't heard of it?" Kuta asked curiously.

"Haha, it's not on the Anthem news, but it's gone crazy up there. Over the past year or so, more than a dozen super-large disasters have occurred consecutively. Two planets were swept clean, three A-Grade interstellar pirate groups were wiped out, and there was a Void creature incident, but none of it was done by the Anthem. Legend has it that a dark force has appeared in the Star Alliance, a terrifying army that comes and goes without a trace and has astonishing combat power!"

"A pirate story? Doesn't this kind of thing pop up every once in a while?"

"No, this time the deeds are all real. Many factions are currently tracking this army," Gaia said mysteriously. "Everyone is guessing which empire's special forces it belongs to."

"The other side must have mastered very high-end Space Ability technology. They can come and go freely without using the Star Alliance's Star Gates. They should have their own Star Map and Space Jump technology," Aoliweina laughed. "This is truly formidable. The bounty for intelligence on this army is extremely high."

"Haha, who would be bored enough to provoke such a force?"

Naturally, the Star River Squad followed up with investigations, but there wasn't a single trace of this army. They extracted the final perceptions from some residual spirits, and the only emotion analyzed was—fear. Similar things happened from time to time in the Star River, and no one knew which empire's secret force was behind it.

Speaking of gossip and mysterious events, everyone's mood was very high, and this meal was enjoyed quite happily. Mainly, Dasha did not pick a fight or contradict Aoliweina, which greatly satisfied Aoliweina's vanity. She felt that Dasha had conceded; after all, the other party's rank was there, so she wouldn't make things difficult for her.

The entire dinner ended in the enthusiastic posturing of Aoliweina and Gaia; it felt like the two had become kindred spirits.

Returning to his quarters, Li Hao lay straight on the bed and stretched. Having eaten and drunk his fill, he had tried various Star River delicacies, which were truly eye-opening. Really, if humans thought they had the status to travel normally through the stars, how fun would it be to take the little ones sightseeing? Like Gasimi, those two little buns on her head were doomed.

He had obtained quite a bit of information from the chat between Aoliweina and Gaia. The personality of their Ring 207 was actually quite good; other places fought much more fiercely. In order to compete for the position of Ring Chief, they were truly ruthless, and injuries were normal. Of course, generally, those who could come here wouldn't end up dead, but occasionally it happened... it just happened.

Dasha's attitude was very strange. He didn't think he had any attraction to Dasha, but the other party clearly had a good impression of him and was very helpful in her words.

Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and a ghost floated in.

Li Hao sat up and gave a bitter smile, "Senior Sister Dasha, can we knock on the door?"

Dasha's body began to glow and then once again became solid. Her key parts were only simply covered, and her gaze was still burning as she looked at Li Hao. She slowly walked in front of Li Hao, knelt on one knee, and her emotion remained the coldness of the Ghost People: "Divine Guard Apostle of the Ghost Empire, pays respects to Lord Oracle!"

Li Hao was completely dumbfounded. This?

Facing this reaction from the other party, Li Hao actually had a guess, but if there was one thing that could be so omnipotent and still have a connection to him, it could only be Da B.

Li Hao smiled slightly, "Senior Sister Dasha, get up first, sit."

Dasha stood up very obediently and sat in the place Li Hao designated. "Senior Sister, you come from the Ghost Empire and are also a Reserve Sergeant Major of the Ruling Anthem, so you must be very knowledgeable. I am not any Oracle; I am just a Human from a new civilization. We definitely haven't met before. In fact, a year ago, Earth hadn't even joined the Star River Alliance. Isn't there some misunderstanding here?"

Seeming to have expected Li Hao to ask this, Dasha wanted to get closer to Li Hao, but Li Hao quickly reached out to stop her, "Don't come any closer, just sit there. Also, make your manifestation range a bit larger; it looks a bit strange to me like this."

Li Hao gestured as he spoke. A cold smile was forced onto Dasha's cold face, "My Lord, Dark Night Ghosts are the top companions in the Star Alliance. Except for being unable to reproduce, we can satisfy you in all other aspects, and we are very good at it. Although I have no experience, you can teach me."

Li Hao was between laughter and tears, "Ahem, you underestimate your own charm, but these are two different things. You don't need to probe me. For me, the closeness of a Ghost Race Sergeant Major is a good thing, and it's also a good thing for Human civilization, so it's better for us to be open and honest, lest we find out there's a misunderstanding and you have to silence me."

Dasha restrained her seductive manner and became serious. Her body was gradually shrouded in a set of Anthem robes, "My Lord, I am a commoner of the Ghost Race. After I was born, I received an Oracle, and only then was I able to transcend my inherent class and grow step by step into a Sergeant Major. And the last Oracle I received was to follow you. The moment I saw you, I knew."

Li Hao fell silent, analyzing the authenticity. It seemed he had nothing worth being deceived for. A star-level figure of the Ruling Anthem and a nobody like him from Earth—the possibility of her coveting his beauty was also relatively low. Moreover, this should be a channel to further understand Bleem. "What form does your Oracle take? Tell me the specific content."

"Yes, my Lord. Oracle 999: The final mission, become the follower of Oracle Li Hao, complete the Apocalypse," Dasha said solemnly.

Li Hao pondered for a while and asked Dasha about the content of other Oracles. It was very similar to his. The Ghost Race was born from the Life Spring, and from the moment of birth, their ranks and job types were divided—slave class, commoner class, noble class, etc. The current Ghost Empire was a bit better than before; although they were divided, there was still a possibility of change, but the difficulty was extremely high. And Dasha, with the aptitude of a Ghost Race commoner, had rapidly promoted to Sergeant Major; it could be said that she had completely changed her destiny. It was the guidance and power of the Oracle, and she had also extremely rarely broken the class of the Ghost People.

The Oracle was likely the information presentation of dimensional signals within the Ghost Empire.

Were Bleem and the Oracle the same thing? There was no way to verify. Dimensional information targeted the Spirit directly, but there was definitely a connection. After the Theseus incident, he guessed that he would likely encounter life forms similar to Bleem again, but he never expected to meet in this form.

This did not fit the stingy, miserly, and perverted style of Da B. Bleem loved to control everything from personality to ability—a living Puppet. It was no wonder Dasha had such a reaction.

Looking at such a "sweet treat" as Dasha, with Bleem's nature, the Youzi behind this would be very sad.

A star warrior of the Ruling Anthem, having to kneel before him without any dignity—he had some understanding of the Ghost Race. Growing from a commoner to a Sergeant Major must have required a lot of effort. What was life for? Could it be that all the struggle in the end was just to be a lackey for someone else?

With Bleem's means of control, it could indeed be done. Although he was resisting, it didn't seem to have much effect.

"Dasha, are you sure I am the Oracle you speak of?" Li Hao asked.

Dasha looked at Li Hao and nodded, "Yes. The name in the Oracle information appeared in Human characters. I only confirmed it after supplementing the Prophecy Fish Pearl. Whatever the Oracle says will inevitably be fulfilled. When I saw you here, I knew. Furthermore, how could a new civilization come to the Ruling? How could it have such a powerful Spirit that could attract me? How could it knock out a Gamma Insectoid with one punch? There is no doubt. Although I don't know what the Apocalypse is, you don't need to have any misgivings. I will execute all your orders. I will obey the Oracle and become your most loyal follower, even if it requires my life."

Li Hao laughed. At this moment, Dasha's eyes dimmed slightly, but the next second, Dasha was stunned.

"That's good. I am an Earthling, so we will do things according to my rules. We don't have this kind of system where I come from. Also, I believe in science, not in these things. However, you feel that I should be the one in charge. Then I tell you, you are free now. From today on, you can do anything you want to do—find your friends, pursue your own goals!" Li Hao laughed. The Apocalypse was very useful information, damn it.

Da B, are you surprised? Are you shocked!

Dasha still stared at Li Hao without moving, her gaze flickering.
