497: New hope? It can’t be such a coincidence, right? (7k words, please vote for me at the end of the month!)

The figure before them, with a wave of his hand, caused large numbers of alien invaders to die in droves!

This left the three teammates of the burly man dumbfounded!

Then, their faces flushed with excitement.

"This power, it's a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior, definitely a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior!"

"Hahaha, you damned alien brats, didn't expect a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior to be on Gu Yin Star this time, did you!"

"Charge, charge, charge!"

"With a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior personally taking action, we will leave no stone unturned this time!"

"To witness a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior personally slaughtering these alien scum, even if we die, we'll have no regrets!"

Seeing Lin Yang easily harvest these alien invaders, the three not only ignored Lin Yang's earlier advice to get treated but, as if injected with a stimulant, charged back towards the aliens.

"..."

Although Lin Yang was killing alien invaders, he was also observing the battlefield.

Seeing these three become even more excited by his intervention, he was momentarily speechless.

"The humans here, especially the Human Warriors, are more warlike; this intense killing intent towards aliens is something many humans in the Ten Thousand Universes don't possess."

Lin Yang murmured.

Different environments led to different attitudes towards aliens among humans in the two places.

In the Ten Thousand Universes, the major clans generally coexisted harmoniously.

Although there were minor skirmishes, large-scale wars were rare.

It was only after the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan were designated as hostile races and a major racial war began that humans developed a killing intent towards these two races.

But here, the crisis of survival constantly loomed, and Human Warriors charged fearlessly against the aliens.

Even ordinary residents were doing their best to fight against relatively weaker aliens.

It could truly be said that everyone was a soldier.

Afterward, Lin Yang did not continue to persuade them to get treated.

The three's injuries were not very serious to begin with.

If they wanted to fight, then let them continue fighting.

He prioritized eliminating the few stronger aliens, leaving some weaker, more scattered aliens for the Gu Yin Star Warriors here.

This was a battlefield, and also an opportunity for these team members to earn glory and battle merit for themselves and their families.

He killed all the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan members, then eliminated other stronger aliens, and then left the area.

The rest, he left for the Gu Yin Star Warriors to earn glory and battle merit.

"The Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior truly takes care of us; he specifically killed the strongest ones, leaving the rest for us to earn battle merit!"

"This is the power of a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior..."

"If only I could become as strong as this adult someday..."

The various small teams in the area quickly realized what Lin Yang had specifically done for them.

They were all very grateful.

By killing the strongest aliens in this area, their Life-threatening danger was greatly reduced.

"Kill!"

"Kill all these aliens!"

Subsequently, the various small teams, as if injected with a stimulant, rushed to kill the remaining aliens.

Now, these aliens, in their eyes, had become battle merit!

battle merit that would be lost if they were slow!

In an instant, the remaining aliens in the area transformed from initial killers into the killed!

The offense and defense had shifted.

Lin Yang continued to patrol other invaded areas, harvesting every Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan member, and then eliminating the strongest aliens in each area.

As he continuously moved around, the pressure in several major areas instantly plummeted.

"Quick, quick, we have the Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior helping us here, quickly eliminate the remaining aliens and go support other areas!"

Following that, the warriors in the areas Lin Yang had patrolled tasted the sweetness of victory.

They resolved the remaining aliens in their area as quickly as possible, then went to support other areas.

Firstly, this could alleviate pressure in other areas, and secondly, it was also to wait for Lin Yang to patrol to that area and earn more battle merit!

Thus, this originally desperate alien invasion quickly turned into a battle for battle merit among the various teams in different areas.

For example... "Damn it, E6 Sector, get out of here, don't steal our kills!"

"Exactly, you go to other sectors, we don't need your help here!"

"Damn it, we told you to scram, why are you killing even more enthusiastically?"

"Oh my god, you bunch of dog..."

However, facing the "reprimands" from their compatriots, the various small teams from E6 Sector who had come to support remained silent, single-mindedly and quickly slaughtering aliens.

Some of the quicker ones couldn't help but let out triumphant "hehehe" laughs.

These situations were also directly reported to the high command of Gu Yin Star.

Inside the operations command center.

The several Commanders and generals were now looking at the continuously incoming reports of decreasing pressure, all looking bewildered.

"There's actually a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior coincidentally on Gu Yin Star helping..."

"Our luck is too good; a large-scale invasion that rarely happens once every few decades or centuries, and we happened to encounter a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior right here..."

"Hahaha, it serves these alien scum right to be unlucky!"

The several generals were all very excited.

The presence of a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior was enough to completely change the outcome of this invasion!

It could prevent at least seventy percent of the warrior casualties on Gu Yin Star this time!

"I wonder which Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior happened to pass by; should we go pay our respects?"

Someone suddenly suggested.

"No, I don't think so. The Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior is here but hasn't informed us, which clearly has a reason. It wouldn't be good for us to disturb him rashly, would it?"

"But the adult has helped us avert a great catastrophe this time; both emotionally and logically, we should still pay our respects."

"How about this: we send a request to pay our respects, and whether the adult wants to meet or not depends on his wishes. If the adult doesn't want to meet, then we shouldn't disturb him further."

"Alright!"

"..."

On the other side, Lin Yang received the message from the nearby Gu Yin Star Warriors conveying the generals' wish to meet him.

But Lin Yang ignored it.

He currently had no plans to interact with the high command here.

He still needed to understand the Ten Thousand Realms Universe.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here was too thin.

A single battle consumed a considerable amount of his own spiritual power.

He had not yet recovered to his peak state, and if he interacted with the high command and they discovered he might not be from the Ten Thousand Realms Universe, and if there were Old Monsters here who became curious about him, he wouldn't be able to handle it for now.

Therefore, Lin Yang did not intend to directly contact the high command here in the short term.

It was always right to be careful and cautious.

There was no existence stronger than him on Gu Yin Star, which was also one of the reasons he was taking action now.

Although this was a trade planet, its importance was not high within the Maple Canopy Empire.

Thus, there were no Spirit Realm-level powerhouses stationed here.

Only a few Extraordinary Warriors below the Spirit Realm.

He slightly concealed his face, and no one could see through him.

"Since the opposing generals are paying attention, I'll speed up a bit more."

Subsequently, Lin Yang accelerated his patrol through the invaded areas.

At the same time, the aliens also made strategic changes.

Large numbers of aliens began to converge on one trade zone.

They clearly knew that this invasion could no longer succeed and intended to destroy the most important trade zone, or perhaps seize some vital resources.

"It's good that they're gathering; it saves me the time of rushing from one place to another."

Lin Yang, on the contrary, hoped these aliens would finish gathering soon.

He was currently unsure if Gu Yin Star would request reinforcements.

He just wanted to finish killing and leave quickly, not wanting to interact with any potential reinforcing powerhouses.

"System, how much national treasure value do I have now!"

Having killed the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan in several areas, Lin Yang estimated he was close to accumulating a million national treasure value.

"Host, you currently have 860,000 national treasure value. It is estimated that after killing the large group that has gathered, you will reach one million."

"Good, the future is promising!"

Lin Yang was also in a great mood.

The number of Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan members invading here was not very large, and their individual strength was weak, so a single one wasn't worth much national treasure value.

Being able to just accumulate a million was already quite good.

The large-scale concentration of aliens immediately caught the attention of Gu Yin Star's generals, who simultaneously dispatched forces to the trade zone where the aliens were gathering.

Several generals also appeared directly on the battlefield to prevent these aliens from making a desperate last stand and causing severe damage to the trade zone.

However, they were clearly overthinking it.

The moment the aliens gathered, Lin Yang also appeared in that area.

"Oh, there are still a few high-level Mingye Clan members below the Spirit Realm!"

Lin Yang's eyes lit up.

He discovered several high-level Mingye Clan members, who were currently preparing to retreat under the cover of a large number of ordinary aliens.

Not just these few high-level Mingye Clan members, but some other general-level aliens were also retreating.

"So, gathering all the aliens here was to cover the escape of these guys."

Lin Yang smiled, concealed his aura, and approached.

Among the invading aliens, there were more than a dozen whose strength was comparable to the few stationed generals on Gu Yin Star.

If he hadn't happened to appear, Gu Yin Star, before reinforcements arrived, might have seen its entire force, from generals to ordinary warriors, wiped out this time.

But now, these more than a dozen high-level aliens no longer dared to stay, gathering ordinary aliens to create an opportunity for their escape.

"A full sixteen high-level aliens. This time, we're fortunate that a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior happened to pass by; otherwise, we'd probably be ghosts by now."

The generals of Gu Yin Star also saw the more than a dozen high-level aliens hiding behind a large number of ordinary aliens, preparing to escape.

"The Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior should not let them escape successfully."

"Definitely not. We'll also have the chance to personally witness the Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior in action!"

The several generals were all very excited and expectant.

The various teams also charged bravely, excitement on everyone's faces.

At other times, facing an invasion of this magnitude, facing aliens several times more numerous than their own side, though equally fearless of death, the atmosphere would be solemn and despairing.

But today, with the intervention of a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior, this major alien invasion incident had become a great opportunity for their various teams to compete for battle merit.

At this moment, there was no despair.

Only excited charges, charges, and more charges!

With a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior holding the line.

Everyone knew that Gu Yin Star could not fall today!

Therefore, everyone charged with full confidence.

Suddenly.

Just as the several generals were eagerly anticipating.

Behind the alien army, a figure, whose face could not be clearly seen, suddenly flashed by.

Then, the sixteen high-level aliens who were about to flee were simultaneously decapitated.

One second.

Even less than one second.

A full sixteen high-level aliens were instantly killed simultaneously!

"This..."

The several generals of Gu Yin Star were instantly stunned.

Their pupils continuously contracted!

Then, the several people looked at each other.

They all saw the shock in each other's eyes!

One strike, simultaneously killing sixteen high-level aliens!

"Is this, is this the power a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior possesses?"

Their throats were tight.

Suddenly, one general said in shock:

"Even a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior couldn't possess the power of this adult before us, could he?"

He had seen a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior take action against high-level aliens before.

Although it was also an absolute crushing.

But they couldn't simultaneously instantly kill multiple high-level aliens!

The power of the figure before him filled him with immense horror.

"Could it be..."

Hearing this, the several people couldn't help but exchange glances, then all whispered four words in unison:

"Beyond Extraordinary?!"

Instantly.

The several people all fell silent for a moment.

Beyond Extraordinary.

That was an existence they dared not speak of lightly.

"We are, fortunate enough to witness an adult Beyond Extraordinary personally take action?"

The next moment, the several generals all had dry throats.

Their voices became much softer.

For a Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior, they could still harbor the desire to pay their respects.

But now, after personally witnessing Lin Yang instantly kill sixteen high-level aliens with one strike, they no longer even had the thought of going up to greet him.

This work is organized and uploaded by 69shuba~~

Suddenly.

Just as the several people were in shock, a gentle voice reached their ears:

"Gentlemen, I have already slain all the high-level aliens here. For the remaining aliens, you can supervise the battle and leave them to those youngsters to earn battle merit."

The several generals instantly tensed up, stood at attention, and bowed in the direction of the voice: "We respectfully obey your command!"

Whoosh.

Under the excited gazes of the several generals, Lin Yang's figure flashed past, leaving the center of the battlefield and disappearing from sight.

"The adult spoke to us!"

"Haha, an adult above Extraordinary Warrior actually spoke to us!"

Then, everyone became excited, their faces flushed, as if they had taken a stimulant. They suddenly looked up at the entire battlefield and shouted:

"All squads, listen up!"

"Smash these alien scum to pieces!"

"Don't let a single one of them escape!"

As the order was given, several people instantly split up, appearing at the edges of the battlefield, forming a encirclement to suppress the entire trade zone battlefield.

Clearly, they were going to fully execute Lin Yang's instructions to them.

They would oversee the battlefield, allowing the squad warriors to kill the remaining aliens and earn battle merit!

Without high-level aliens, they could completely control the entire battlefield.

At the same time, they dared not conceal any details of what happened here, reporting everything exactly as it occurred to the true high-levels of the Maple Canopy Empire... deep in the distant Ten Thousand Universes.

Maple Canopy Empire's Highest Combat Command Center.

"Report, the major alien invasion incident on Gu Yin Star has been cleared by Gu Yin Star's officials, and they have stated that the Empire does not need to send personnel for support."

A combat command officer, looking at the latest message from Gu Yin Star, immediately reported it to his superior.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

A middle-aged man with a stern yet benevolent face couldn't help but frown upon hearing this: "A few minutes ago, Gu Yin Star just sent a distress signal saying they encountered a large-scale alien invasion and requested support. Why was the alarm suddenly lifted?"

"Report, Commander, Gu Yin Star has sent a top-secret message. Please review it personally!"

The subordinate directly handed over an internal smart device.

The middle-aged Commander took the device, entered a unique encrypted key, and the content of the top-secret message was displayed.

Upon seeing the message, the middle-aged Commander's expression instantly changed, secretly shocked: "An adult suspected to be above Extraordinary Warrior passed by Gu Yin Star and casually eliminated the invading high-level aliens?"

Attached to the message was a video of Lin Yang instantly killing sixteen high-level aliens with a single blow.

This video further shocked him: "It really was an instant kill, but the Empire doesn't have an adult above Extraordinary Warrior. Could it be an adult from the War Alliance who happened to pass by?"

"But the adults from the War Alliance should all be guarding the alien passes. I haven't heard any instructions about an adult leaving the alien passes!"

While shocked, the middle-aged Commander also felt quite puzzled. He then dared not delay, and after quickly contacting other high-levels of the Maple Canopy Empire, he immediately re-encrypted the message and video and transmitted them to the Human War Alliance.

The news of a suspected adult above Extraordinary Warrior appearing was not something their Maple Canopy Empire had the qualifications to interfere with or investigate... Inside an ancient building that had weathered many storms for years.

Several old men with weathered faces sat cross-legged, facing each other.

In front of them, a screen was displaying the message and video from the Maple Canopy Empire.

A moment later.

One of the Qing Pao old men spoke in a deep voice: "Everyone, I just went down and asked. None of the Old Monsters above Extraordinary Warrior in the War Alliance have left the War Alliance or the alien passes. This person on Gu Yin Star is not one of them."

"Recently... there hasn't been anyone about to break through, or with a significant chance of breaking through to above Extraordinary Warrior, who has visited the Maple Canopy Empire."

Hearing this, the other old men exchanged glances.

Another old man, dressed in purple robes with eyes like knives, said: "Looking at the power fluctuations during his attack, although it's not clear from the video, it should be space power. While several people in the War Alliance possess this advanced power, among those who have reached above Extraordinary Warrior, currently only Kong Shan Yu, that Old Monster, has it. He has denied it at the alien pass, and the other few are also in their respective positions."

Saying this, he paused, then continued:

"Therefore, it can basically be concluded that this is an existence above Extraordinary Warrior with space power who has never been recorded in the War Alliance."

As soon as these words came out, the old men fell silent again.

A short while later.

The Qing Pao old man spoke again:

"Such an existence absolutely cannot appear suddenly without any trace of prior existence, and it's almost impossible for him to have suddenly advanced recently through seclusion."

"Looking at the power he used and the hidden power, both are extremely skillful. Not a single trace of excess power overflowed, demonstrating perfect control over power."

"I just sent the video to Kong Shan Yu, that Old Monster, and he also said that his use of power is almost on par with his own."

"This largely indicates that the opponent is an existence who has long been above Extraordinary Warrior."

"A suddenly appearing Old Monster above Extraordinary Warrior, who also controls space power."

"What do you all think?"

The old men exchanged glances again.

The purple-robed old man spoke again:

"I think this could be a powerful support for us. The aliens would definitely not sacrifice such an existence to disguise as one of us humans and try to infiltrate our ranks, because once discovered, he would surely die alone here!"

"So, I'm more inclined to believe this might be an Old Monster who has been in seclusion for a long time and has suddenly emerged."

The Qing Pao old man said nothing, but looked at the others.

The other old men also expressed their views.

A grey-robed old man spoke first:

"I also believe the aliens wouldn't sacrifice someone with space power to disguise and attempt to infiltrate us. It's too easy to be exposed. Although this person's appearance is quite sudden, seeing his ruthless killing of aliens, he should be a member of humanity."

"Of course, it's not entirely ruled out that this large-scale invasion of Gu Yin Star was a coordinated act by the aliens, intended to bring him into our sight, but I think this possibility is extremely low."

The thin old man to the left of the grey-robed old man nodded slightly: "I concur."

The Bai Pang old man to the right of the grey-robed old man then said:

"Oh... my Old Monster's opinion is, let's not act rashly for now. Whether he is an alien in disguise or one of us, since he chose to expose himself this time, he should have some actions, more or less, in the future. We just need to pay close attention."

"If he is an alien, he will surely be exposed immediately as soon as he appears before us. But if he is a member of humanity, no matter how sudden his origin, such an existence would be a truly great help to us!"

After the Bai Pang old man finished speaking, another old man, who only had one eye intact, said in a deep voice:

"Exactly. If he is a member of humanity, an existence above Extraordinary Warrior who controls space power, then it truly is a blessing from heaven for our human race."

The Bai Pang old man laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Haha, my Old Monster truly hopes he is a member of humanity. If so, I could slack off a bit more. With one more such existence, the pressure on at least several alien passes would be relieved, and Kong Shan Yu, that old fellow, would probably be smiling in his dreams."

Following the Bai Pang old man's words, the remaining old men who had not expressed an opinion also spoke up:

"We truly look forward to having one more guy like him!"

"Our human race hasn't seen a space power expert above Extraordinary Warrior for a very, very long time."

"In fact, even the number of people above Extraordinary Warrior is decreasing year by year."

"Alas..."

As the old men spoke, their expressions gradually became grim again.

The human race, these Old Monsters had been supporting it for too long.

Compared to the gradual rise of the aliens, the situation for humanity was not optimistic.

"Will he be our new hope...?"

Hope and anticipation flickered in their eyes.

Afterward, the ancient building fell silent again... Gu Yin Star.

Lin Yang had now successfully withdrawn from the battlefield and returned to the previous living area.

"I need to leave Gu Yin Star. My appearance certainly won't escape the notice of the strong individuals here. They might even come here to investigate."

Lin Yang looked at the card Shang Qingluo had given him, preparing to swipe it to buy a ticket for a starship leaving Gu Yin Star.

Any destination would do.

Although the invasion was now under control, many people were starting to leave Gu Yin Star.

He would not be conspicuous blending in with them.

"Host, one million national treasure value has been gathered. The System has begun unlocking the corresponding information module. The module unlock is estimated to take half a month."

The System immediately deducted the national treasure value and began unlocking the information module.

"Ah? Why does it take so long? I remember before, when the national treasure value was reached, it was unlocked instantly, wasn't it?"

Lin Yang couldn't help but be surprised.

Why would unlocking a module take half a month this time?

"Host, under normal circumstances, the unlock of this information module requires far more than one million national treasure value. And due to your debt situation, the System has already tried its best to unlock it for you in advance, hence the longer time required."

The System provided an explanation.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work!"

Lin Yang said no more.

If it took longer, so be it. Who told him he was currently in debt for tens of billions.

It was already great that the System could continue to serve him.

He couldn't ask for too much more.

Then, he directly swiped his card to buy a ticket.

Five million Maple Canopy Coins were not enough to buy a spaceship. To leave Gu Yin Star now, he could only take a starship from Gu Yin Star to other planets.

The ticketing smart System spoke: "Dear traveler, please select your destination and departure time. We regret to inform you that due to this planet having just suffered an alien invasion, there are not many available flights at the moment. Please be aware."

Lin Yang said indifferently: "Any destination is fine, as long as it's the fastest flight leaving Gu Yin Star."

"Okay, we have selected the fastest flight for you according to your instructions. This starship will depart in fifteen minutes, with Qianpan Star as its destination. The basic fare is five million Maple Canopy Coins. Premium and luxury cabins are fully booked. Please confirm whether to issue the ticket."

"Five million?!"

Lin Yang didn't care about the destination, but his eyes changed when he heard "five million."

He only had five million, and the ticket alone cost five million?

And that was just the basic fare... "Are there any other cheaper flights?"

After a pause, Lin Yang asked again.

Interstellar travel was indeed not something ordinary people could afford.

"Dear traveler, according to your instructions, besides this flight departing in fifteen minutes, the next fastest flight will depart in six hours. If you are willing to wait, the fare for the next flight will be approximately two point six million Maple Canopy Coins."

"...Then this one it is." Lin Yang was speechless.

Six hours was too long!

If someone of an Old Monster level came out of curiosity, it would probably be very quick.

After all, in the Ten Thousand Universes, Bai Pang Old Man and others could instantly cross different universes.

Although things might be a bit different here, the strength of top-tier Old Monsters should be roughly the same.

It was better to be safe.

As for money?

He would just earn more.

"Okay, your ticket has been issued. Please arrive at the starship docking area in this zone within fifteen minutes. If you are late, you will need to re-purchase your ticket, and half of this ticket's price will be deducted as a handling fee."

"So expensive..."

Lin Yang grumbled.

Five million, just gone for a ticket.

"It seems when I get to that Qianpan Star, I'll have to find a way to get some local currency."

Subsequently, Lin Yang quickly rushed to the spaceship docking point, feeling a bit emotional.

It had been a very, very long time since he had used ordinary money or currency.

Moreover, taking a public starship was a first for him!

Even the first time he entered the Ten Thousand Universes from Blue Star was on the Apocalypse!

A private spaceship!

Now, he seemed a bit down on his luck.

"Hmm... wait, Qianpan Star?"

Suddenly, Lin Yang paused.

He hadn't noticed when buying the ticket, but it suddenly occurred to him now.

Qianpan Star, wasn't that the planet where the merchant's family, as the System had mentioned before, was located?

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Lin Yang's expression became strange.
