The person next to him immediately took out paper and pen, as if to take notes.
Seeing their appearance, the Guardian Envoy slowly nodded and said in a deep voice:
"The great Cripper stopped what he was doing and turned his gaze to a planet in the starry sky. It seemed that this planet was practicing the way of preservation to a great extent. Builders, we must go and observe, and even help, a planet that has been watched over by the gods for so long."
This surprised everyone slightly. It was simply unbelievable that a planet could make Cripper stop his wall-building efforts.
How exactly did that planet manage to practice the principles of preservation to this extent?
"Then, Your Excellency, do you have any clues about the location of that planet?" someone asked impatiently.
After closing his eyes for a dozen seconds, the guardian opened them again. "I have obtained the location of this planet. Builders, let's set off and witness the birth of the sacred site!"
Of course, as a star god who knew his location perfectly, Kripper's anomaly naturally attracted the attention of not only the relevant agencies responsible for protection, but also the forces of destruction.
As the god of destruction, Nanook leads a vast army, and the Antimatter Legion has always brought chaos and devastation to countless worlds.
His followers vowed to embark on a path of destruction, placing themselves in the absolute opposite of civilization and life.
On a ravaged planet, savage races are gathering. A powerful Destroyer stands in front, his terrifying aura preventing these ferocious monsters from uttering a single word.
The Lord of Destruction surveyed the area, nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a booming voice, "My lords, just now, Cripper observed a planet for quite some time, and according to my investigation, that planet is not a heavily guarded place."
"In other words, this planet is very likely a relatively primitive one, but as an existence under protection and watchful eyes, it must have something special about it. So, destroy it, practice the way of destruction, and make even the great Nanook take notice of you!"
Immediately, all the antimatter legion monsters present cheered.
But they didn't notice that although the Lord of Destruction spoke very excitedly, he never mentioned whether he would go to that planet or not.
Compared to these mindless, destructive creatures, he, as the Lord of Destruction, was quite conscious of his life.
A planet that has been observed by Kripper for so long must have something special about it; who knows, a Guardian Token might just emerge from it.
As the Lord of Destruction, he is extremely aggressive, but he may not gain much advantage against the Guardian Envoy, who has super strong defense. If there were anything else on this planet, he might just perish there.
Therefore, they dispatched a large number of illusory troops to attack that planet, to probe its true strength first.
If the opponent is weak, then you should go in; if the opponent is strong, then you can save your own life.
Of course, besides the forces of preservation and destruction, which are all stirring with excitement because of Kripper's sidelong glance, the Immortal Ship is now in complete chaos.
As for the reason, it was naturally because a group of old men from the Chiming clan broke into the Shence Mansion.
"Oh, fellow dragon masters, what brings you here?"
Jing Yuan asked with an unfathomable smile on his face.
An old man from the Chiming clan cupped his hands to Jing Yuan and said, “General Jing Yuan, we have nothing important to say. We just want to trouble you to allow us to take a portion of the Immortal Ship fleet with us when we set sail.”
"Oh? Why? Gentlemen, you must know that the fleet of this immortal ship cannot be mobilized at will. If there is no war, sending the Cloud Cavalry out to sea would be an act of dereliction of duty."
Jing Yuan said, pretending to be serious.
The old man from the Chiming clan smirked, "General Jingyuan should know about the Dragon Girl Baizhi, right?"
"Of course I know that. This Bai Zhilongnu is an acquaintance of mine."
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded, while in his mind, the scene of him asking Bai Zhilongnu for the fake medical record also appeared.
This Bai Zhilong girl possessed wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary people from a young age, and speaking to her was not as difficult as talking to a child.
Of course, more importantly, Bai Zhi supported the general in taking it easy, so the two formed a deep friendship about taking it easy.
"That's good. General Jingyuan should also know that Bai Zhilongnu is the only dragon maiden of our Chiming clan who was born naturally and has the potential to become a dragon lord, right?" the Dragon Master asked.
"Hey, that's not right. Isn't Bai Lu, the Dragon Girl who carries medicine, the Dragon Lord?"
Jing Yuan chuckled. Although he found Bai Zhi amusing, Bai Lu was equally important, because Bai Lu's origins were...
“General...you are also one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds. Don’t you know how Bailu came to be? Although she has healing abilities, as a long-lived species, I, Chiming, do not need a physician to serve as my Dragon Lord. Instead, I need a powerful being.”
Master Long spoke without any politeness.
“We all know that studying medicine cannot save Chiming and Xianzhou. Although Bailu has the appearance of a dragon and amazing medical skills, she cannot cure the demonic body, nor can she cure the Chiming’s population that can never grow. What we Chiming need more is a powerful dragon lord who can protect our race!”
19 We must welcome back Bai Zhilongnu
“We acknowledge that Bai Lu is innocent and none of this is her fault, but as the leader of our Chiming clan, if Long Zun does not have absolute power, he will not only lack prestige, but also be unable to protect his people.”
“General Jingyuan, no matter how skilled a physician is, the number of lives they can save is limited. But those with great power can directly eliminate the source of the threat to life, solving the problem once and for all.”
The dragon masters were very excited.
Jing Yuan closed his eyes, his head throbbing. The Chiming Clan and the Immortal Ship were bound together by life and death; he couldn't possibly kick out these highly respected dragon masters within the Chiming Clan.
He also knew why the Dragon Masters were so excited.
Originally, after banishing Danfeng's reincarnation, Bailu was the only one with the dragon's appearance who could inherit the power of the Dragon Lord. Even if the Dragon Masters were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept this young Dragon Lord who could only heal and was not very good at fighting.
But after Bai Zhi was born, the Dragon Masters saw another future: she too possessed the appearance of a dragon, and she was born naturally, unlike the complicated situation of Bai Lu.
This was truly a gift bestowed upon the Vidyad clan by the Immortal Star God, filling them with joy.
After Bai Zhi appeared, they kept thinking that if they could transfer the Dragon Lord's power from Bai Lu to her, perhaps the Chi Ming clan would give birth to another powerful Dragon Lord and reproduce its former glory.
So, before Bai Zhi showed any other abilities, the Dragon Masters often observed her, wondering if this Dragon Girl might awaken some extraordinary power one day.
Even if they didn't awaken, they planned to "persuade" Bai Lu to voluntarily give up the Dragon Lord's power and transfer it to Bai Zhi when Bai Zhi was a little older.
Anyway, it's already embarrassing enough that Long Zun, as a healer, isn't very good at fighting. If we transfer that to Bai Zhi, then even if she's not that bad, she can't be that bad, right?
Since we're already at rock bottom anyway, we might as well take a gamble; maybe we'll turn our luck around.
However, just a few days ago, they discovered that Bai Zhi had disappeared. At first, they thought they had encountered some kind of monster, those guys always trying to capture members of the Chiming Clan to refine pills.
After reviewing the relevant surveillance footage, it was discovered that the bountiful creature had indeed been encountered, but the main reason was that it was swallowed up by a suddenly appearing black hole.
This discovery terrified them all.
You must understand, this Bai Zhi Dragon Girl is the future hope of the Chiming Clan. If something happens to her, because of the Chiming Clan's unique cycle of reincarnation, future Dragon Lords might be relegated to the role of healers forever, which is something they absolutely cannot accept.
Therefore, faced with this situation, they first went to find the Grand Diviner of the Luofu Immortal Ship—Fu Xuan.
They hoped that through Fu Xuan's Qiong Guan Formation, they could divine where Bai Zhi had been sucked into the black hole, and whether she might have been harmed by the abundant evil creature that had been sucked in with her.
Faced with the legitimate requests of these Dragon Masters, Fu Xuan did not refuse and immediately activated the Qiong Guan Formation.
Strangely, the Qiong Guan Zhen couldn't figure out where the dragon girl Bai Zhi had been teleported to, or even whether she was alive or dead.
The dragon masters were already somewhat desperate, and some even thought that the Vidyadhara clan would likely have another healer dragon lord with an eternal lineage in the future.
Many of the dragon masters who were originally passionate now look like they've lost their souls.
But today, the information transmitted from the Black Tower space station immediately cheered them up.
Bai Zhilongnu was actually teleported to the Black Tower Space Station, and what's even more amazing is that she seems to have awakened an incredible ability.
This greatly excited the Dragon Masters. Without the power of the Dragon Lord, they were able to awaken some special powers on their own, which meant that their talent was truly exceptional.
If the power of the Dragon Lord is grafted onto it in the future, then a new generation of powerful Dragon Lords may be born.
This is why they came to Shence Mansion. Although they knew that Bai Zhilongnu was with the people from the famous Starry Sky Train, their worries continued to grow.
After all, this universe is not peaceful. Putting aside the dangerous Abundance Beasts, the space pirates, the antimatter legions, and things like the Annihilation Gang are all huge threats.
If something unexpected happens, it could be something you'll regret.
Therefore, they must obtain partial sailing rights for the Immortal Ship fleet from Jing Yuan, then immediately sail to Bai Zhi's location, escort her back to the Immortal Ship to grow up properly, and then inherit Bai Lu's Dragon Lord power.
Everything was so perfect.
As for Bai Lu's idea of being stripped of her Dragon Lord power, the Dragon Masters selectively ignored the issue.
In their view, Bailu has received a great deal of care over the years. Since she has enjoyed the rights, she should also fulfill her obligations and it is time for her to contribute to the rise and fall of the entire race.
Besides, stripping her of her Dragon Lord power won't kill her; at worst, she'll just regenerate into a new egg. She's been the Dragon Lord for so long, that's enough.
I believe that Bai Lu, who is usually kind-hearted, can understand their thoughts.
Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly. He knew perfectly well what these dragon masters were up to.
This is also why he kept making excuses. Although strictly speaking, Bai Lu and Bai Heng are completely different individuals, no matter what, Bai Lu and Bai Heng, one of the deceased Five Heroes of the Clouds, have a huge relationship. As a former comrade-in-arms, he naturally did not want the Dragon Masters' scheme to succeed.
"Ahem, fellow Dragon Masters, I understand your thoughts, but as you also know, the Immortal Ship Fleet has very strict management regulations. We can't just deploy the entire fleet just to welcome and escort one person."
"The fleet exists to protect the entire Luofu Immortal Ship, not just the Chiming Clan. Do you understand, gentlemen?"
Seeing the old men's faces turn red at a visible speed, and they were about to start lashing out, Jing Yuan immediately said:
"Of course, I know how anxious you are. Although the Cloud Cavalry fleet cannot be mobilized, I can approve that you hire some fleets yourselves to do this."
Jing Yuan knew that even if he didn't allow these Dragon Masters to send Luo Fu's fleet, these old guys would find other ways to achieve a similar effect, so he might as well make a suggestion himself.
As a starship civilization, Luofu Immortal Ship naturally handles a considerable amount of cargo daily, which requires starships for transportation. For security reasons, these transport starships hire security fleets.
What he meant was that these dragon masters should hire the security fleet themselves.
But this matter is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two, which can be considered as indirectly delaying these guys for a while.
20 You really are an alien?
"Quickly, quickly! This information was brought by aliens. The technology is quite advanced. We need to study it thoroughly and then make a huge robot to participate in this competition."
"What, aliens? Are you kidding me?"
"Immediately, form several groups and select the strongest one to participate in the competition!"
This is the state of the research institutes in those underground cities on this frozen planet. After receiving the message from the United Government, everyone felt that the United Government must have collectively gone mad.
Aliens suddenly arrive on Earth, and their purpose is not to establish diplomatic relations or to invade, but simply to hold a robot competition.
This situation has a kind of absurd, dark humor.
But after they went to confirm with some skepticism and received a document about the robot's technology, they all fell silent.
As researchers, their understanding of technology is quite accurate. Such technology is definitely not something that can be developed on Earth at present. Their thinking is completely different from before.
Moreover, because the news is so outrageous, it actually feels very real.
Anyway, the technology is real, and in the end we'll have to build some to verify it anyway, so we might as well create something interesting and compete with it.
Of course, there is an even more important reason: this planet has not had any large-scale entertainment events for a long time.
The Olympics and other major e-sports events of the past have long since disappeared.
Everything on this planet is for survival, but this time, they can finally have some fun.
"Wow, it's incredible that there's such a huge underground city under all this snow."
In the steel-forged city, March 7th skipped and hopped around, looking left and right, touching everything, and occasionally taking pictures with her camera, her curiosity seemingly inexhaustible.
However, not only March 7th, Bai Zhi was also quite curious. Although she had seen all of this in the movie, seeing this scene on the screen and seeing it in person are two completely different things.
"What kind of food is this?" March 7th picked up something from the vendor's table and asked curiously.
It was a box containing black, strip-shaped objects that emitted a peculiar smell, like a mixture of earth, spices, and other things.
"Sister March, would you like to try some? As for the money, the people from the United Government have already said they'll pay for it."
Bai Zhi smiled mischievously. She was curious to see what kind of expression San Yueqi would have after finding out what this thing was.
"Huh?" March 7th was a little confused.
But since March 7th was an innocent child, even the shop owner could tell that this pretty girl probably didn't know who the powerful man's daughter was. She had been spoiled since childhood, so she had never eaten this thing before, or even seen it.
So the store manager waved his hand with interest and said:
"Little girl, this is a local specialty. If you'd like to try it, I can give you this box."
"Really?" Hearing the shop owner say that, March 7's eyes lit up. After all, as the saying goes, freebies always taste the best.
"Hehe, yes, go ahead and eat it. This isn't poisonous; it's the meat of a creature that lives underground," the shopkeeper explained with a chuckle, then stared at March 7 with a look of amusement.
"Thank you, shop owner. Let me try it. Oh, and Xing, Danheng, and Xiaobaizhi, you should try it too. We can't let the shop owner's kindness go to waste."
On March 7th, he picked up one himself and then handed the box to the group of people.
