Chapter 1665

"Fake? If it were this close, our astronomical telescope should have observed it long ago!" Shen Di wore an expression of disbelief.

He Yunshan laughed heartily and explained, "Your technology is probably still at the stage where you've just begun to touch the cosmos and starry sky, unaware of some special aspects of the universe. Relying solely on optics and electromagnetic wave technology, you cannot observe whether other planets harbor civilizations. Because every life-bearing planet, once it awakens and grows, receives protection from the cosmic mother body; the starry sky twists, creating a visual barrier, making it unlikely to easily contact other civilizations, nor be easily discovered by other advanced civilizations."

- Named: He Yunshan. Also "cosmic starry sky" generic. "cosmic mother body" generic. "advanced civilization" generic. So He Yunshan.

Everyone suddenly understood.

"The universe actually actively protects planets—how amazing……"

"Wait, if that's the case, aren't we exposed right under the noses of Earth people?"

"Hiss! Great He Yunshan, could your Earth civilization possibly be coming over to invade us?"

Everyone felt a wave of emotion, and also some worry.

Chen Xiao Ba heard this, smiled and said, "It depends on how you define invasion. In fact, you are so close to us that even your civilizational template is so similar; you must have already been 'invaded'."

- Named: Chen Xiao Ba. Also "civilizational template" generic.

"Um……"

Xiao Feng froze.

"That seems reasonable!"

"However, this 'invasion' is not an attack, but an intervention in growth!"

"Perhaps tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago, Blue Star 8 had been visited by a controller-level or even stronger human, who then covertly guided the civilization's development and deployed a background blueprint almost identical to Earth's."

- Named: Blue Star 8. Also controller generic, human generic, Di Qiu.

After years of development, Blue Star 8 gradually grew and gained the ability to observe the cosmos and starry sky.

- Blue Star 8 again.

However, the current stage of development is still relatively early; there has been no transcendental evolution, nor deep exploration of the universe, and it remains at an intermediate level.

- No names.

"Um…… speaking of which, could there be a possibility that someone who descended upon Blue Star long ago and told our ancestors mythological stories is actually one of you two?" Li Li muttered.

- Named: Blue Star. Also Li Li.

Chen Xiao Ba shook his head decisively: "I rarely leave Earth; in my lifetime I have only served once as a civilizational shaper."

- Chen Xiao Ba, Di Qiu.

He Yunshan also shook his head: "I don't have that leisure time; I suspect it was my master and his associates who did it."

- He Yunshan.

"Your master? You, such a powerful existence, actually still have a master!" Xiao Feng was shocked.

- Xiao Feng.

"This big shot is at least a star‑level existence; star‑level controllers are the pillars of every clan, second only to the Lord of the Starry Sky and the eternal‑level controllers."

- Named: Star-level Controller, Lord of the Starry Sky, Eternal-level Controller.

"Um, misspoken, misspoken—my master also doesn't have that leisure time; he's very busy." He Yunshan's expression stiffened, and he suddenly seemed to realize something, hastily defending himself.

- He Yunshan.

Everyone frowned, not knowing what he was wary of, and then fell silent.

- none.

Chen Xiao Ba glared at him, then immediately explained: "Don't worry about who is guiding your civilization's development; as long as you manage the present well and plan for the future, everything will be wonderful. If you need technological assistance or guidance assistance, our Old He can make a trip to your Blue Star 8 to deliver some resources."

- Named: Chen Xiao Ba, He Yunshan, Blue Star 8.

"Huh? Why me? You could let Shen Lie go—he's free because he doesn't play games!" He Yunshan looked displeased.

- Named: Shen Lie, He Yunshan.

Chen Xiao Ba said calmly: "Go or don't go, it's up to you."

- Chen Xiao Ba.

"Damn, you're oppressing me!" He Yunshan looked resentful.

- He Yunshan.

Xiao Feng watched, scratching his head.

- Xiao Feng.

Listening to this, it seems as if Chen Xiao Ba's status might be higher than He Yunshan's.

- Chen Xiao Ba, He Yunshan.

Looking at his previous introduction and performance, his actual strength probably isn't as great as He Yunshan's; at most he's a planetary‑level controller—could his backing be huge?

- Named: Planet-level Controller, He Yunshan.

Everyone was doubtful in their hearts.

- none.

Today they encountered too much new knowledge, and their horizons were completely opened.

- none.

The universe is actually so vast, and it's divided into eras of growth!

- none.

Even an immensely powerful controller has a master!

- none.

Moreover, Blue Star 8 has a neighbor, called Earth!

- Blue Star 8, Di Qiu.

All of this is too astonishing; if it's all true and reliable, perhaps the real world's pattern will gradually change as a result of today's exchange.

- none.

Will Earth people come?

- None (earth people generic).

What will they bring?

- none.

If they come to aid development, that would be fine.

- none.

If it's an invasion, that would be terrifying!

- none.

However… based on the information we currently have, they probably don't need to invade, since in technology, evolution, etc., they completely outclass Blue Star 8; the only area where they might be weaker is likely the gaming world.

- Blue Star 8.

Surely they didn't travel all this way just to capture a few top‑god players to make them work for them?

- none.

Hmm… we should capture Xiao Feng—he's the strongest, one person can match ten billion!

- Xiao Feng.

Everyone was entertaining wicked thoughts.

- none.

As they chatted, a considerable amount of time passed unnoticed.

- none.

At that moment, San Zhuang Da Biao Ge walked in and said, "Everyone, the legion is already ready; we can set out anytime."

- Named: San Zhuang Da Biao Ge.

The indoor lights turned on, and the glass exterior walls regained their transparency.

- none.

Chen Xiao Ba put away the star chart, looked at Xiao Feng, and said, "Xiao Feng, in this battle I'll watch your performance."

- Chen Xiao Ba, Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng humbly replied: "I dare not accept such praise; I will merely contribute my modest effort."

- Xiao Feng.

These two individuals before us are big shots in the real world, and they're so close they can practically be considered neighbors.

- none.

With the ability of a star‑level controller, crossing several hundred light‑years of space is effortless; I'd love to drop by for tea, a chat, or even a beating—it wouldn't take much time at all.

- Named: Star-level Controller.

So we must maintain good relations; if another controller ever comes to Blue Star 8 seeking revenge, we could confront them offline—perhaps we could even ask He Yunshan for help!

- Named: other controller (generic), Blue Star 8, offline (Xian Xia), He Yunshan.

"Let's set out."

- none.

He Yunshan rose to his feet, gave a casual push, and shattered the outer wall.

- He Yunshan.

Everyone sprang into action, flying out together to rendezvous outside the city.

- none.

The teleportation array of Five Continents City had been flashing nonstop over the past hour, and even now many people are still emerging from it.

- Named: Five Continents City, Teleportation Array.

This large‑scale teleportation array can transport many people at once, with massive throughput; in a short time it has already gathered a great number of hands.

- Teleportation Array again.

Above the plains outside the energy shield of Five Continents City, countless silhouettes are now floating in the air.

- Named: Five Continents City.

The number is too great to count, but it's definitely over a hundred million—a dark mass like a cloud blotting out the plains' sky.

- none.

Another great‑god player from the Earth War Zone, "Kuang Feng," is making the final pre‑battle deployment, shouting via gene‑energy, his voice carrying far.

- Named: Earth War Zone, Kuang Feng.

"The target location of this battle is a new Chengshi near the Shattered Soul Divine Realm, named 'Wulin City'. The location has already been shared with you. Soon, our entire army will press the border, and with the help of Xiao Feng, the strongest of the entire server from Blue Star No. 8 War Zone, we will shatter the enemy's city-defending formation. We must swiftly destroy the Teleportation Array and cut off enemy reinforcements! After that, it will be a time of head-to-head combat; how many enemies you can slay and how much Qi Luck and resources you can loot will depend on everyone's strength!"

The fierce wind's words were resonant and powerful; those about to fight felt their blood boil.

「Xiao Feng the deity has really come; I haven't even seen him in person yet! 」

「Not bad, not bad; this round we can have a good fight and also witness the tactics of the server's strongest—it wasn't for nothing. 」

「I hope there are more enemies; otherwise, Xiao Feng's pervert could kill a hundred million with a single move—we'd have nothing to do. 」

Voices rose one after another in the ranks, making it rather noisy.

Xiao Feng and the others, together with He Yunshan and his group, came to the front of the ranks.

Seeing his silhouette and name information, many couldn't help exclaiming, and the ranks grew even noisier.
