Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 724: Section 719 - Sovereignty Declaration of War

Even if one day he leaves the business of a military contractor and no longer engages in fights and killings to do something else, even if it were bricklaying, he could still make a fortune.

The only regret was that, ultimately, the "Spatial Branding" was the product of a supernatural ability and couldn't be passed down to descendants like a tangible alchemical artifact, as it was limited to use only while Chen Fei was alive.

With these gains and losses, nothing is after all perfect.

Watching the person staggering away with the super-large space system alchemy storage artifact, leaving the large hall as empty as it was initially, Chen Fei also promptly left.

The dimensional gate management substation on the Blue Star side once again became quiet as the evacuation personnel departed.

Chen Fei returned to the core area, where the dimensional gate remained open, its light film connecting the two civilized planets as still as a pond, without a ripple. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward.

One step on Blue Star, one step on Cangqiong Star.

The existence of the dimensional gate completely overturned previous scientific fantasies about interstellar travel.

So much for the promised hibernation pods, the guaranteed curvature drive, the awaited stellar sails, and the expected star system-level spaceships. In reality, the distance between civilized planets is just this one step. Even starships of both civilizations, in actuality, lack the ability to free themselves from the gravitational pull of their own star systems. The fact that they can engage in interstellar exchanges is purely coincidental, and it's not possible to accurately determine each other's true positions in the vast sea of stars. If they are not in the same plane, such positioning is utterly meaningless.

After entering the Cangqiong Star side, Chen Fei quickly left the core area.

According to regulation, once passed through, he must leave promptly.

Behind him, the ring of the dimensional gate flickered, and the light film that connected the two worlds dispersed into countless points of light in the air. The Terra particles index, maintaining balance at the critical point, returned to calm.

Chen Fei was the last guest to pass through this connection.

"You're back again?"

On the Cangqiong Star side, the Defense Commander of the Suburbs of Nandu City Ground Portal Gate Management Substation was somewhat surprised to see Chen Fei again.

He had thought that Chen Fei had gone back to the Blue Star homeland with the first batch of evacuating citizens and was not expecting him to return.

"I'm not on the list of evacuees, and my contract is not yet over," Chen Fei replied with a perfectly reasonable justification.

He didn't want to leave just yet, not before the enormous hidden threat of the Parasitic Species was dealt with. Committed to averting the end of civilization, he had no time to hide and live out his days in peace.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Since he cannot remain uninvolved, his only choice is to fight strenuously.

"Welcome back, 'Rookie'!"

Colonel Sir smiled appreciatively and extended his hand to Chen Fei. He liked this young man.

Chen Fei made the Defense Commander revise his view of military contractors. Apart from having slightly lesser standard gear, his combat will was no less than that of active elite soldiers. Even when facing formidable enemies, he would not easily talk of surrender.

Chen Fei firmly shook his hand and said simply, "Duty calls!"

The Defense Commander, Colonel Sir, probed, "Are you going back to the hotel?"

Although the fighting in the Nandu City region had temporarily subsided, and the local Rebel Army "Radiant Tiger" legion might give some face by not disturbing the portal, the conflict on Zilu Continent was not yet over, and the situation could change at any moment.

Therefore, the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City still needed ample defense forces to secure the portal, especially mobile combatants like Chen Fei who had special permission.

Originally, Blue Star Sovereignty had been in communication with the Silan Dynasty, trying to strengthen the guard at the Dimensional Gate on the Cangqiong Star side, but due to the increasingly tense situation between the two sides, they were never able to finalize the agreement, thus highlighting the growing importance of Chen Fei for the management of the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in Nandu City.

"I'm not going back!"

With both his girlfriend and Her Royal Highness the Princess gone, that upscale business hotel naturally held no further appeal for Chen Fei.

Before this, he had not been stationed at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, commuting between there and the business hotel. Fortunately, both locations were within firing range of each other, so he didn't have to wear himself out running between them.

The three teams that Big Boss Louis Landon had left for Chen Fei, although now only two remained, were still operating normally.

The local gang "Hundred-Legs Gang" had been handed over to the command of the "Intelligence Team," acting as local eyes and ears, while the other team, "Strong Men Team," was also on standby, maintaining a deterrent presence over these little thugs. Without maintaining a presence, the ambitious "Hundred-Legs Gang" was very likely to stray again.

"Then I can rest assured. We have everything here, if there is anything you need, feel free to let me know."

Colonel Sir finally felt the weight lift off his heart as the pressure on Dimensional Gate defense eased considerably due to Chen Fei deciding to stay.

-

After talking with the Defense Commander of the Dimensional Gate, Chen Fei strolled around the area of the Dimensional Gate where the Protective Barrier had been deactivated, all the while maintaining contact with the "Intelligence Team" and "Strong Men Team," keeping an eye on the local gangs and the Parasitic Hosts.

He was not fighting alone, and certainly not foolish enough to challenge the Extraterrestrial Race "Sagali" by himself; with the resources he currently had at his disposal, he was well-prepared for a fight against the Parasitic Species.

The Royal Breed that had spread Mutated Parasitic Spawn around Nandu City was exceedingly good at hiding; it never showed itself, but the schemes of the Extraterrestrial Races are not conceived overnight. It made sense that traces were hard to find for a while. Now that they were on alert, as time went by, it was just a matter of time before this special Ninth Rank royal branch made a move and slipped up.

Both Chen fei and the experts of the "Intelligence Team" had the patience for it.

With the world in turmoil once again, Blue Star Sovereignty formally declared war on the Silan Dynasty and completely shut down the Dimensional Gate to Cangqiong Star, causing inevitable disturbances in both economic and political areas by suddenly reducing the avenues of travel between the two civilized planets.

Because of a sudden rebellion on the continent of Zilu on Cangqiong Star, the relationship between Blue Star and the rulers of Cangqiong Star, the Slan Dynasty, had started to become delicate. Now with the emergence of the "Lord of the Sky" issue, it was as if the last feather of a fragile balance had been broken.

With the declaration of this Sovereign-Level war, the history of friendly and peaceful coexistence between the two civilized planets was declared over.

Although only one Sovereignty had declared war on the Silan Dynasty, it didn't mean that all of Blue Star was sounding the war horn against Cangqiong Star, but the attitudes of the other Sovereignties were quite intriguing. Perhaps they were waiting to see how things unfolded, possibly assessing their interests, or even discreetly preparing for war. In the clouded and tricky situation at hand, anything could happen.

Princess Lin Ziyu, who had returned early to Cangqiong Star and the Morning Star Continent through other channels, called to urge Chen Fei to keep a low profile recently; attracting attention could potentially implicate him due to his status as a member of the Chen Family. Staying at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation on the side of Cangqiong Star indeed seemed like a good place to lay low.

Even Her Royal Highness the Princess was lucky to have left quickly; otherwise, she might have been unable to leave or even been placed under house arrest, becoming one of the means to capture the "Lord of the Sky."

After the call with Princess Lin Ziyu, Chen Fei felt a slight headache.

It's like the saying goes, trouble comes from the sky when you least expect it.

It wasn't just Her Royal Highness the Princess— even he, a powerless commoner, was affected, really a disaster out of the blue.

Chen Fei thought for a moment, took his phone in a leisurely fashion, selected a number with hesitation, and eventually made the call.

Without any delay, the number connected instantly.

A voice filled with authority came through.

"Xiao Fei, are you in trouble over there?"

It was the voice of his uncle, Chen Haiqing, and it seemed to carry a trace of weariness behind its authority.

Chen Fei was momentarily taken aback before he realized the situation.

He could hide out at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation on the side of Cangqiong Star, but his uncle had no such escape.

He tentatively asked, "The Lin Family..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by his uncle.

With undeniable certainty, his uncle said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved, understand?"

"I just spoke with Elder Sister Lin Ziyu on the phone. She's really worried!"

Chen Fei wasn't just trying to ask on behalf of Princess Lin Ziyu, he also wanted to understand the impact of the "Master of the Firmament" on the Chen Family.

It was true that he was laying low on Cangqiong Star, but his father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister were still on Blue Star.

"The actual situation is not as simple as you understand, but it's not something that can be explained in two or three sentences. You better not interfere. I will arrange for someone to look after the family, don't worry. Our Chen Family is not one to be easily manipulated by others."

His uncle had clearly considered Chen Fei's concerns and made many arrangements and preparations.

The Lin Family was not a pushover, and neither was the Chen Family.
