After joking around with Melina, Lin Xiaohe relaxed a lot.
She met Yi Jian as promised. After some evaluation, she affirmed Qiemu’s view of Yi Jian: “He really is a good talent. Not only is his IQ high, but more importantly, he has perseverance, self-control, and good character.”
When Lin Xiaohe asked Yi Jian what he wanted, he actually only made two requests. One was Lin Xiaohe’s handwritten signature, and the other was hoping she could arrange things well for his good brother, Giant Stone Qiang.
Lin Xiaohe said on the spot that it was a small matter. Arrange it!
From then on, Jiuzhou Star University had a campus darling, and a massive library was opened to Yi Jian.
“Yi Jian, don’t let us down.”
Yi Jian touched the Honored Lord’s signature on his body and silently swore in his heart that he must succeed!
He had already entered the Honored Lord’s sight, but if he wanted to hold this position for a long time, he needed to prove with strength and results that he was qualified!
He cheered himself on: “Yi Jian, you can do it! You will definitely surpass Wesley and become the Honored Lord’s number one supporter.”
The Arbiter was like a ferocious armed fortress, sliding alone and slowly through the debris belt.
When it finally left the debris belt completely, it captured another alien spaceship.
The operator in the main control room reported this to the higher-ups, then skillfully brought the alien spaceship into the Arbiter.
In the research center, the researchers gathered together again.
Some of them had stubble on their faces and dark circles under their eyes, like wild men.
Some were listless, yawning one after another.
“Another alien civilization? With this much commotion, I bet one Xinghe Coin it’s definitely from outside the domain.”
“Heh, as if we needed you to say that?! What’s wrong, did that kid named Yi Jian drain your brain, making you come up with such a crude way to swindle money?”
“Stop making sarcastic remarks here. Next month, Yi Jian will rotate into your lab for training. I wish you well.”
“Ow! For the sake of knowing each other for so many years, give me a hint? There’s a rumor going around that Yi Jian is the Honored Lord’s descendant. True or false?”
“False!”
Amid a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, that wall became transparent again.
Only this time, besides the Honored Lord and the alien, there were also two more people: Yi Jian and Papa Lin.
Old Three, summoned again, had a strange expression. Running into two extraterrestrial spaceships in a row, wasn’t this frequency a bit too high?
Even so, Old Three did not dare stop the work in his hands and honestly translated every sentence the alien said.
“Self-introduction? First of all, every civilization names the galaxies of the universe differently. Even if I tell you the location of my home star, can you determine where it is?”
“Ah… of course, I will cooperate with you. Please rest assured, I understand the Divine Kingdom Covenant.”
“You can call me Li Mu.”
“All right, all right, I’ll start with my home star. It was a rocky planet, the entire planet covered by rock and high mountains. We lived in a spherical space with a radius of 3,000 kilometers. There was no water, no space, no air.”
Hearing this, Papa Lin’s eyes lit up. What this alien described was similar to the Boulder civilization? Such a coincidence?
Li Mu changed to a more comfortable position.
He had wandered in the universe for too long and had been in hibernation for too long. His mind felt as if it had been smeared with paste, operating extremely slowly.
“Huh? Let me first talk about why I came here? Uh, when our spaceship was wandering through the universe, we encountered an extremely friendly civilization. The other party was not at all stingy about spreading its information throughout the universe.”
“It said, come here, and you will have a chance to become a god, because there are shattered divine sparks here.”
Old Three suddenly raised his head, grabbed Li Mu’s hand, and shook it wildly up and down, left and right: “You were also lured here by incomplete divine sparks?”
“Lured? I wouldn’t call it lured.”
Old Three’s expression stiffened. He knew he had blurted out some incredible secret. He gave Lin Xiaohe a flattering smile: “Honored Lord, one piece of news in exchange for your clean ears.”
Hush money, huh?
Lin Xiaohe said slowly: “Go on, tell me.”
Old Three: “Interstellar war and war within a planet are completely different. Under the limits of spatial distance, any enemy facing vast spatial distance can do nothing. Usually, interstellar war is measured in centuries, or even millennia.”
That was it?
Lin Xiaohe pouted.
Old Three looked anxious and quickened his speech: “But there is one situation that can shorten interstellar war to one year, or even half a year. That is when a [Domain Lord] joins the battle! For a civilization like Shadow Star, as long as a [Domain Lord] casually waves a hand, it can be reduced to ashes.”
“What I mean by saying all this is that no matter what civilization it is, once it steps into interstellar space, if it wants to survive in interstellar war, it must have its own Domain Lord.”
“Likewise, any powerful individual wants to become a Domain Lord. The necessary prerequisite for becoming a Domain Lord is possessing a divine spark. Unfortunately, what is a divine spark? Where does it come from? How is it obtained? None of this is known. So once there is news of a divine spark, many civilizations and powerful individuals will flock to it.”
At this point, Old Three stopped speaking.
He and Lin Xiaohe both understood that this passage was equivalent to admitting that their Sui Xing civilization had come here for the divine spark.
But there was one question in all of this.
Where did the news that this star domain had a divine spark come from? Who spread it? How was it spread?
Lin Xiaohe glanced at Li Mu from the corner of her eye and saw him looking like he was enjoying the show. She raised an eyebrow: “Lively, isn’t it? Enjoying the show?”
“Quite enjoyable.”
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, his entire expression changed drastically, and he froze on the spot.
Those words had been said by Lin Xiaohe herself, without Old Three translating!
Lin Xiaohe revealed a smile of interest: “So you can understand what I’m saying? Just now you were pretending so hard. Care to explain honestly?”
Li Mu looked blank.
What are you saying? I don’t understand.
Lin Xiaohe: “Heh, I’ll make you talk sooner or later.”
Before Li Mu’s matter was resolved, the Arbiter discovered many more spaceships.
The controller responsible for reporting was completely numb.
“More than two-thirds of the spaceships are in damaged condition.”
Lin Xiaohe: “Bring them in. Let the researchers analyze them. If there is technology we can learn from, learn from it. If there is nothing worth learning from, melt them down for material reserves.”
“Yes! In addition, there are 31 spaceships with survivors in hibernation. The medical officer says the probability of successful authorization is 87%.”
“How many?!”
“Report to the Honored Lord, 31.”
Lin Xiaohe drew in a sharp breath. The Dark Domain had suddenly been flooded with orders?! Why had so many extraterrestrial civilizations suddenly appeared?
“Wake them up. Get more information out of them.”
“Yes!”
The researchers became completely busy.
In fact, the awakening success rate was less than 80%. Even so, in the end, a total of 783 aliens were awakened.
Every alien organism had different living habits, living environments, and food. Some alien organisms with weak constitutions and poor adaptability died just a few days after waking up.
“Luckily we acted fast! We got quite a few major pieces of information!” The researchers were extremely excited.
