Chapter 1073: A Very Lively Library

"Recently, the Interstellar Alliance has cracked a large-scale criminal syndicate suspected of crimes against humanity. It is reported that in order to attract attention and disrupt the genes of extraterrestrial organisms, the syndicate disguised a certain planet as a television program for filming. Currently, the planet has been rescued, and the police are conducting further investigations."

Following this, the Salvation Squad, as representatives of Tianhai Star, visited the Interstellar Alliance and received a warm welcome.

Lu Yang had been in the Interstellar Alliance for five days, and he discovered that the streets were filled with promotional posters for the Salvation Squad; their fame was far greater than Lu Yang had imagined.

Once the public learned that "The Legend of Tianhai Star" was not a television drama but something that had truly happened, they pursued the Salvation Squad with even greater fervor.

And what surprised Lu Yang the most was the emergence of his own fan club.

When he was in the Cultivation Realm, his image as a righteous practitioner was widely spread, and he had many admirers, but the atmosphere of the Cultivation Realm was conservative; they certainly wouldn't do things like holding up signs of him and parading through the streets.

The Interstellar Alliance dared to.

Handsome appearance, mysterious identity, upholding justice... all these elements combined made Lu Yang a breakout star in the Alliance.

Every time Lu Yang thought about similar things happening on various planets, the corners of his eyes would twitch slightly.

Although he liked being in the spotlight, he was still a bit afraid of so many people being obsessed with him.

He cast aside his complicated thoughts and walked into the library.

These past few days, he had been in the library learning about the history of the Interstellar Alliance.

The history of the Interstellar Alliance, if written as a brief history, would fill an entire row of bookshelves; simply put, the Interstellar Alliance was the product of a great fusion of civilizations from various planets.

The Interstellar Alliance initially had only twelve members, but later, as they continuously discovered life-bearing planets, those planets joined the Interstellar Alliance for the sake of development, eventually becoming the behemoth it is today.

However, Lu Yang did not find any records regarding the Zhu Tian civilization; he figured the Zhu Tian civilization's starships had not yet come here.

Naturally, there was also nothing about the Blue Star civilization.

"The technology of the Interstellar Alliance is truly advanced," Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh.

"They have built devices to capture solar energy and conduct large-scale construction on stars."

"They manufacture brain simulation signals, and the tactile sensations of mechanical bodies can be fully transmitted to the brain, though this technology is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it."

"The most powerful weapon is the Star-Destroying Cannon, which can generate high-energy particles to pierce a star's core."

"There are also quantum computers capable of high-speed calculations, and the Aether Computer, which can calculate everything once data is input."

The Decayed Fairy sat on the bed, dangling her two little feet back and forth, completely unable to understand what Little Yangzi was sighing about.

Capturing solar energy was a trivial matter that the Yaoyang Sect could accomplish, and weren't brain simulation signals just illusions?

And that Aether Computer that Little Yangzi praised endlessly—it sounded very annoying.

"What's so great about it? How can it be as sharp as this Immortal's brain? This Immortal can deduce Dao Fruits; can this so-called Aether Computer do that?"

The Decayed Fairy secretly made a resolution: if Little Yangzi didn't give her an explanation for this, she would ignore him for a whole day... that's a bit long... a month... that's also a bit long.

Then she would ignore him for a whole day, and worry him to death!

Lu Yang hurriedly offered a flattering smile, soothing the Decayed Fairy, whose dissatisfaction was written all over her face: "That is natural, that is natural. How could such a device compare to a Fairy who is naturally intelligent and has calculated the ages?"

"Hee hee, you have good taste. I forgive you."

Lu Yang shook his head helplessly and continued to study the culture of the Interstellar Alliance.

He pulled a folded map out of an astronomy book; this was the universe explored by the Interstellar Alliance.

The Decayed Fairy let out a disdainful 'eh': "They've only explored this much? At most, it counts as a corner of the universe."

"Any territory of the people Ying Tian Xian and the others could pull out would be larger than this area."

Lu Yang wanted to ask how large the Fairy's territory was, but after thinking carefully, for the sake of safety, he decided not to ask a question that would make the Decayed Fairy scratch him.

"The map is already big enough."

This map alone was worth the trip, and combined with the many technological products of the Interstellar Alliance, it was enough to give the Cultivation Realm a brand-new look.

A chip the size of a fingernail fell out from between the pages of the book. Lu Yang picked it up and examined it against the light, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. Not knowing what the chip was for, he prepared to put it back in its original place.

Just as this thought occurred to him, he heard a 'boom' of an explosion from not far away, followed by the sound of alarms and the panicked voices of the public.

Lu Yang looked in the direction of the sound and discovered a rather luxurious sports car had crashed into the library. A youth with a face covered in blood climbed out of the sports car.

Several more cars crashed into the library, and a group of fully armed robots climbed out; it looked like they were there to capture the youth.

Through the large hole that had been smashed open, one could see that the outside was in chaos; it seemed to be the result of the youth and the robot army racing.

The youth ran stumbling, with a hail of bullets behind him; it looked very dangerous.

However, the youth was very lucky; the bullets grazed past him without hitting him.

People in the Interstellar Alliance didn't have the habit of reading paper books, so there were very few people in the library. Seeing the danger, they all ran out of the library as if fleeing for their lives.

Lu Yang felt it was necessary for him to leave the library with these people.

The reason was simple: the youth was running toward his side.

Lu Yang took a stride and hid in the gap between the bookshelves.

Then he saw the youth also take a stride and hide next to him.

The two stared at each other.

Lu Yang: "!!!"

Buddy, why are you coming over here?

"Quick, get down!"

The youth suddenly shouted and hurriedly tackled Lu Yang to the ground.

Machine gun bullets swept over their heads, penetrating several rows of bookshelves.

One could imagine that if the youth hadn't tackled Lu Yang, Lu Yang would still have been perfectly fine.

While lying prone, the youth did a roll and threw out a bomb; the 'boom' of the explosion caused the robots to temporarily fall into a state of rigidity, unable to move.

The youth turned his head and solemnly reminded Lu Yang: "Don't think we're safe. This was my last pulse bomb; it can only temporarily stop them from acting."

"If we want to solve this completely, we must find the chip left behind by Grandpa here!"

Lu Yang felt that since the youth was so capable, he surely didn't need his help; after all, he was just there for a tour.

Seeing that Lu Yang had no intention of helping, the youth said solemnly: "The outside is already surrounded by the robot army. Neither you nor I can escape. The only way now is to find the chip!"

"Do you want to know why we are being hunted? Because Grandpa discovered that the Artificial Intelligence wants to overthrow human rule!"

Lu Yang took out the fingernail-sized chip from the book again and asked: "Is this what you are looking for?"

The youth was very excited, took it over to compare, and then returned it to Lu Yang in disappointment.

"It's not this one. The chip should have Grandpa's mark on it."

Lu Yang was even more puzzled. Where did the chip tucked in the book come from?

Just as Lu Yang was puzzled, an explosion also came from the other side of the library. A spirited young girl also ran over stumbling, with pursuers behind her as well.

The girl had excellent eyesight; even from far away, with dust and smoke in between, she could clearly see what Lu Yang was holding.

Her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "That's it! The evidence of the consortium illegally developing stars is right here!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Should I not have come to the library today? ===== CHAPTER 1074 =====
