Chapter 1401: Chapter 467: Divine Authority Civilization

"Have we encountered a civilization? Or is it a civilization that has already touched the Starry Sky?"

Bai Yi’s face lit up with excitement, and she quickly said:

"I’ll head over immediately, don’t act recklessly!"

Bai Yi left these words behind and promptly received the coordinates brought by faith, allowing the warship to warp in that direction.

In the vast distances of the Starry Sky, given she wasn’t a professional in the Space Series, the speed of the Portal Giant Tree’s Teleportation was no match for warping.

Her warship was unlike others; it was controlled by a Seventh Rank Undead host.

Rounding it up, this warship was practically connected to her mind.

Once she had an idea, the originally hovering warship immediately activated, transforming into a streak of Radiance, heading in one direction.

However, Bai Yi did not warp directly to the destination. After warping close enough, Bai Yi stopped and personally teleported to Lunning’s side.

"What’s the situation?"

Upon arrival, Bai Yi couldn’t wait any longer to ask, and then began to observe the surrounding situation.

The place where Lunning was hiding was a small asteroid floating within the asteroid belt, temporarily retracting her energy fluctuations using a Spell learned from the territory.

As for observing spans in the Starry Sky, unless one stood blatantly in the empty void, normal reconnaissance methods couldn’t detect an anomaly the size of a human on the asteroid.

Of course, it’s not entirely impossible, but one would need to specifically observe this asteroid, and the reconnaissance methods would need to be quite advanced.

Or if there’s a detection ability she’s unaware of, that’s a possibility too, but if it’s like that, there’s not much she can prepare to avoid it.

And as for her target this time...

Bai Yi followed Lunning’s gaze and saw a planet in the distance—yellow in desert representation yet tinged with green.

"Is this... a man-made colonized planet?

Is it really a civilization that has reached the interstellar level?"

"No, maybe not, Your Highness.

Based on my current observations, it seems there’s no trace of any spacecraft, nor any signs of primitive warp technology left behind.

You also know that after mastering that Radiant Cross, I’m quite sensitive to observing light.

This level of colonization method at a glance seems like it’s just beginning to explore the Starry Sky and unlikely to have overly advanced interstellar warp technology.

Primitive warp methods will inevitably leave certain traces.

Excluding the possibility of them unexpectedly acquiring advanced technology, more likely, they possess a special interstellar traversing ability."

"True..."

Just now, Bai Yi had just arrived and hadn’t understood the situation. Now, knowing more information, she realized this point too, and continued to ask:

"Any other discoveries?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Your Highness, I only discovered it shortly before you..."

Lunning answered somewhat helplessly. The information she could gather was already due to her own unique abilities, and for more intel, she was powerless.

Bai Yi realized this, nodded, and looked towards the planet.

"Then let’s begin tentative contact. This planet is certainly not this civilization’s home planet.

Find it, confirm this civilization’s exact level and situation, and see if this civilization has the ’qualification’.

You find a group to follow, this time I’ll lead the team myself!"

"Understood!"

Lunning agreed, the light around her twisted for a moment, and she disappeared from sight.

When she returned a few minutes later, several witches alongside Undead hosted in humanoid armor had appeared with her.

With a few witches and Undead, plus the creatures she personally weaved, it was more than enough to explore a Colonization Star on the fringes of a civilization.

In fact, even just herself would have sufficed; having more witches and Undead merely facilitated her operations.

Raising her left hand, she gestured towards the planet, and with the other hand, she snapped her fingers.

Lunning felt the light around her twist in a way different from her own Transcendent abilities. Unlike her Transcendent ability that twisted the light itself, this seemed more like controlling the path of the light.

The twist of light distorted everything into chaos, and in the next moment, they reassembled into tangible scenery, becoming the sky and the earth.

They had indeed arrived on the planet’s surface!

"So, this is Space Ability..."

Lunning curiously recorded this sensation. Due to possessing the 8th Rank Radiant Cross, this was her first time experiencing a means of Teleportation other than the Teleportation Gate.

However, the feeling of Teleportation was fleeting, and once the surrounding light returned to normal, Lunning was back to being serious.

The Perception from the Abnormal Object rapidly spread, sensing everything around, and the witches and Undead, without Bai Yi’s command, each moved into action, quickly dispersing in all directions.

"Let’s go toward that direction."

Bai Yi closed her eyes to feel for a moment, then pointed in a direction.

She aimed for a landing spot close to the oasis edge observed from the Starry Sky, and through the planet-level Life Perception brought by her current 8th Rank superpower, she easily locked onto the humans gathered at the center of the oasis.

But...

"Why do these humans seem so weak?

Most of them appear even less than normal people, and it’s not congenital issues, more like... they’re not well-fed?

The Transcendent exists, but why is even this planet’s Transcendent power so weak? What kind of Extraordinary System does this civilization follow?"
