Chapter 371: Mysterious Xiao Jiu, Madman Civilization

Something that can make even an ultimate disaster feel afraid must be something even more terrifying.

Faced with Xiao Jiu's gaze, Blue Sapphire felt as if the fur on its body was about to explode.

At this moment, Zhang Jie was still worrying about how to get Blue Sapphire to give up the idea of sticking to him, but then Blue Sapphire suddenly became obedient, came down from his back, turned to Lin Ran's front, and grabbed her hand.

Zhang Jie:???

"Blue Sapphire?"

"Ahaha, Knight Sir, Blue Sapphire still won't disturb your work!"

"Knight Sir, watch out for safety!"

Although I don't know what that thing behind Knight Sir is, Blue Sapphire's keen senses tell her that it must be extremely terrifying!

However, she probably means no harm to Knight Sir, after all, the malice is directed at her....

"Um, that'll do."

"Lin Ran, I'll go first then."

"Okay."

Holding the little cat's hand, Lin Ran smiled and waved at Zhang Jie, gazing at his back as he entered the ship, her face instantly fell.

She seemed.... to have slightly underestimated the ship Xiao Jiu.

After all, it's a ship made by her own family, Lin Ran still felt reassured, but now she increasingly felt that Xiao Jiu had a problem.

All these things annoyed her, so she simply stopped thinking about these messes and directly prepared to go vent on the disaster.

"Sister Lin Ran, where are we going now?"

Although Blue Sapphire's true age might be many years older than Lin Ran's, she still habitually calls her sister.

"Um.... Blue Sapphire, you won't say you suddenly lost control and went crazy, will you?"

"Of course not!"

"Blue Sapphire is completely clear-headed now!"

"Then.... how about we go deal with the disaster?"

"Great! Blue Sapphire is just hungry!"

Lin Ran blinked, wasn't this little cat just giving the buffet boss a lesson earlier? How is it hungry again?

And soon, she would witness the true power of an ultimate disaster.

At this moment, Zhang Jie, who had just boarded the ship, immediately saw Weiniya waiting for him nearby.

Xiaoanchun seemed still a bit shy, sitting properly at the ship's entrance, obediently waiting for him.

And Xiao Jiu, as usual, thoughtfully prepared a drink to quench his thirst.

"Teacher, you've finally come."

Seeing Zhang Jie, Weiniya happily stood up, and seeing she had no drink, Zhang Jie apologetically smiled and handed her the cup in his hand.

"Sorry, I've been busy lately and almost forgot to keep my promise to you."

"No problem, no problem!"

Weiniya took the cup from Zhang Jie's hand, but felt a dark gaze suddenly cast upon her; however, she didn't mind and continued chatting foolishly with Zhang Jie.

After receiving the second drink from Xiao Jiu's hand, the two finally began discussing the matter at hand.

"So, what is our main objective this time?"

"Um..... how to put it...."

"Teacher, you know there are nine divisions of the various forces in the Star Sea, right?"

"This time, we are to help the lawful and just faction, the 'Deep Space Knights,' resist the attack of the Chaotic Civilization."

"That is, the Madman Civilization that indiscriminately attacks anyone who has any connection with disasters, unlike the Alliance which only targets disasters; this civilization is purely a mad dog."

"Some are people who cause trouble under the banner of exterminating disasters, others are extremists who become madmen; in short, in some sense, they are opposed to the Alliance."

Listening to Weiniya's words, Zhang Jie fell into thought.

"I remember, this civilization seems to have had a grudge against the Alliance from the start."

"Exactly, they think the Alliance stole their title of Star Sea Guard."

"But this is probably just one of the reasons; more importantly, Lin Ran seems to possess disaster power."

"Then there's nothing to worry about."

Now is a critical moment for the Alliance's expansion; although its combat strength hasn't diminished, it has acquired a genuine weakness.

Although the Dyson Sphere project is being carried out secretly, there could still be a leak from an insider, revealing it to you.

So, for the Alliance side, it's best not to create additional enemies recently, but if there are already existing grudges, then it doesn't matter.

Rather than defending against them, it's better to stir up trouble in advance.

Moreover, we can still bring in an alliance with a lawful faction; no matter how you think about it, it's not a loss.

"Is that okay, teacher?"

Weiniya asked cautiously, still worried that Zhang Jie might be unwilling if he heard he was being dragged into the situation.

"No problem, this deal isn't a loss."

Zhang Jie smiled, but in the next moment he suddenly thought of a question.

Lin Ran possesses disaster power, which is none other than Disaster Breath, and he knows that.

That was, at the time, to suppress his blood-disaster condition; a certain bioweapon deliberately strengthened the blood disaster to obtain it, its effect is also strong, it can absorb blood-disaster power to nourish its master, and it is also a powerful weapon; Lin Ran still uses it even now.

So, for Lin Ran to have reached this point, could part of the reason be that she mastered disaster power?

And how long could others who haven't mastered disaster power survive?

"Weiniya, I have a question for you."

"Huh?"

Seeing Zhang Jie suddenly look somewhat serious, she felt a bit embarrassed.

Teacher, go ahead and ask—I'll tell you anything!

Hmm, then I'll ask you.

Your lifespan—or rather, how long do you think you can still live?

Ah?

Weiniya pondered doubtfully for a few seconds, then shook her head.

Maybe a few thousand years—if one has divine abilities and lustrous gold qi and blood, the lifespan shouldn't be short.

Lifespan has always been the ultimate means of limiting everything.

Humans have lifespans, the universe has a lifespan—ultimately, it's just entropy increase at work.

"Forget it, thinking about this now is useless."

"However, this Deep Space Knight... could it be the spark left behind by the previous civilization?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Jie couldn't help but become more eager.

But since it's a conflict between civilizations, are the two of them enough?

Or else, he could use his authority as Alliance Vice Leader to summon some people over?

Hey, Weiniya, just the two of us?

Of course not.

Weiniya had brought along all her underlings behind her, but with such a big order, she alone couldn't turn the tide.

You wouldn't... have taken an assassin squad, would you?

Hehe, as expected of a teacher.

Zhang Jie was speechless; looks like we still need to summon people.

Although he's now a one-man army, if he really exposed those heavenly-disaster powers of his, wouldn't that bunch of maniacs blow up with him?

Perfect—let those big brothers test out their new ship's combat power!

Little did he know, on this trip Zhang Jie would meet someone who ought not to appear under any circumstances....
