World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1519 - 369: Arrival at Skull Star (2)

Zhang Xiaoman’s interest was successfully piqued by this topic, and after waiting for a while without more information, he couldn’t help but ask.

"And then? How did that siege action turn out?"

Ziwei casually fiddled with the interface again, replying a bit offhandedly:

"And then? Of course, it failed. Even though the Wild Beasts don’t have much intelligence, their raw power is extremely formidable, not something easy to kill."

Zhang Xiaoman was speechless.

Just now, wasn’t someone casually calling them a bunch of brainless beasts? Yet, it turns out your mission couldn’t take them down!

"What’s with that look of yours!"

Ziwei unintentionally looked up and saw Zhang Xiaoman’s expression, feeling a bit embarrassed and annoyed.

"Wild Beasts themselves possess strong Dark Spiritual Power, and an adult Wild Beast is at least at the Upper Control Level; how could it be so easy to deal with!"

Zhang Xiaoman was at a loss for words; wasn’t it you who looked so relaxed earlier, and now you’re blaming me? This woman’s words are really contradictory.

"Anyway, back then, I was still very weak, just tagging along with the fleet doing odd jobs. Even if we couldn’t win, it had nothing to do with me."

Ziwei started passing the buck.

"Though we couldn’t kill that Wild Beast in the end, with the effort of five Upper Control Level experts, sacrificing three and severely injuring two, we successfully diverted it to another Star Domain, resolving that crisis."

Zhang Xiaoman was slightly taken aback.

"What level was that Wild Beast?"

"The same, Upper Control Level."

"Then..."

Ziwei understood what he was about to say and gently shook her head.

"Even though they’re both at the Upper Control Level, how could their power be the same? Describing the Wild Beasts’ combat power as simply invincible at the same level doesn’t do it justice... they’re invincible among the invincible!"

"Whether in physical strength or Dark Spiritual Power, these Wild Beasts generally crush Dark Spirits of the same realm. They’re born with immense strength; let alone five Controllers, even fifty might not be able to kill one. Such a monster could even fight against Lower God-level beings. Just relying on a few people, how could there be any result?"

Zhang Xiaoman’s expression was frozen; he didn’t anticipate the Wild Beasts having such tremendous power.

He couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards Skull Star, where he was about to land, feeling a bit incredulous.

"And this one..."

"Who knows how many years this Wild Beast has been dead? Anyway, I heard about this place a long time ago. Besides this planet, the Alliance has two other planets made from Wild Beast skulls, but I haven’t been to those. At least I’ve been here a few times and am somewhat familiar."

"As for the causes of these Wild Beasts’ deaths, it’s either infighting with their kind, fighting fiercely for territory and then getting killed, or being slain by a True God, or maybe unlucky enough to encounter a Spiritual Gap Storm and get swept into the storm’s core and shredded. I know an interesting show about ’100 Ways to Die for Wild Beasts.’ If you’re interested, I’ll dig it up for you later."

Zhang Xiaoman was a bit stunned.

"There’s a show like that?"

He shook his head and asked:

"What was that Spiritual Gap Storm you mentioned earlier?"

Ziwei was already used to his clueless Little White look and casually explained:

"Spiritual Gap Storm, an extremely rare natural phenomenon in the universe, you can think of it as caused by a burst of Dark Spiritual Power, possessing world-destroying power. If you encounter it, hide as far as you can, not even True Gods can withstand it."

"Not even True Gods can withstand it? That powerful?"

Zhang Xiaoman felt incredulous, recalling the terrifying power of Alfarld, and if even they couldn’t withstand it, then wouldn’t others be doomed if they encountered it?

But thinking about it, it’s possible; if even Wild Beasts could be killed, how could other Dark Spirits withstand it.

"Rest assured, even though it appears without warning and lacks any pattern, it might not occur even once in a few thousand years. You don’t think you’ll be so lucky as to encounter it, do you?"

Ziwei waved her hand, looking as if he was overthinking things.

"The universe is so vast, and the chance of a Spiritual Gap Storm appearing so small. You might as well worry about getting hit by a flowerpot walking down the street."

Zhang Xiaoman was speechless; this woman’s analogy really left him with nothing to say.

With his current constitution, to be killed by a flowerpot, it would have to be made of Olharast Steel and fall from low-earth orbit.

"Alright, our request got approved; we can go in now!"

Ziwei suddenly slapped her thigh, her eyes finally moving from the holographic projection she’d been staring at, looking at Zhang Xiaoman, exclaiming:

"Finally returning home! I’m tired of this life without a network and having to live single-handedly!"

She shook her only remaining arm, smiling on her face.

Zhang Xiaoman, seeing this, also felt a bit emotional.

"Yeah, going home."

These past few years, without the support of medical equipment, Ziwei had always been in a one-armed status, indeed making life inconvenient in many ways.

Seeing the genuine smile on her face, he couldn’t help but show a nostalgic expression as well.

Maybe it’s almost time for him to go home too.

Feeling the Star Dust stored in his storage ring, Zhang Xiaoman knew that it wouldn’t be long before he gathered enough to buy a World Tree Clone.

With the clone and the Tree Gate, he should be able to traverse the Original Realm between these two universes.

Thinking about this, memories of people from the Star Alliance surfaced in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind.

Those familiar faces seemed to have just been seen yesterday.

"I wonder how the organization has been in the three years since I left."

Over the years, Zhang Xiaoman had been observing the Star Alliance through the system interface, but what he could see was limited.

Aside from the changes in the gang member list, he could only tell the situation with achievements from the inflow of accumulated points to gauge if the organization had faced significant impacts from encounters with Alien Species.

Fortunately, everyone has been very competent.

Even without him, the Star Lord, the entire Star Alliance has continued to develop through its own strength.

Zhang Xiaoman was very much looking forward to seeing what the place had become over these three years.

As soon as he has enough Star Dust, he plans to go back and take a look, just in case unforeseen dreams continue to linger.

Counting his amount of Star Dust, at most two weeks, he believed he could return soon.

"It’s a pity that if I hadn’t bought so many resources for cultivation over the past few years, I might have been able to return a year earlier."

Zhang Xiaoman thought about it, feeling a bit regretful.

But there’s no way around it; in this cosmic environment, strength is the absolute path.

He must maintain enough supply of resources to enhance his strength; otherwise, even if he returns, he’ll only be beaten up.

After all, the Great Fusion could arrive at any time, and the time left for him is running short.

"Oh, right, when you land on the planet in a moment, arrange for your crew to complete their identity registration, especially the three giant dragons; they aren’t part of the Human Clan and can’t go without registration."

Ziwei advised.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, indicating his understanding.

Contrary to what he imagined at first, though there are many races in this universe, the mainstream race still sides with the Human Clan.

The Human Clan here doesn’t refer to "humans" like himself but generally to all humanoid races with two hands and two feet with similar external features.

Of course, what he referred to as the Human Clan is merely a translation he adapted; here, these humanoid races are collectively called the "Spiritual Wisdom Clan."
