290: Chapter 290 High-Level Exchange, Refining Light-Type Extraordinary Resources

At this moment, the two Custodian guards standing at the very front—who had been ready to defend the diplomatic mission to the death because of Wang An's previous actions—also relaxed.

"The Milky Way Galaxy has a unified governing organization, the Galactic Extraordinary Council, composed of many powerful civilizations and races."

"The three individuals beside me are representatives of the Three Human Races, and they have come on behalf of the Galactic Extraordinary Council. If you are willing to abide by the current governing system, the Transcendent Council will designate a 1000-light-year survival zone for you to develop long-term."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Lord Envoy, who was the core of this diplomatic mission, fell silent and conversed with the others for a moment via the faith communication channel.

Then he said, "This matter is too significant; I have no authority to make a decision. Please allow me to petition the Imperial Regent Primarch Guilliman and the Holy Emperor of Terra so that they may make the decision."

Upon hearing this, the people present showed expressions of "as expected."

Although the other party did not agree immediately, there was already an intention to communicate.

However, the few people present were all young mid-Rank powerhouses, and they did not have the time to slowly wait for them to conduct diplomatic deliberations.

Cassandra, Di Qiling, and Savage spoke simultaneously in Chinese, "There is no need for such trouble; we can have our highest authorities communicate directly and settle it."

The three of them each brought out a Dao Artifact tainted with high-order aura: a golden cup containing the Water of Life, a crescent-moon-shaped mark, and a bronze chime.

As the three items tainted with high-order aura appeared, the previously relaxed Custodian guards saw Holy Light immediately flare up on their golden power armor, with faint sounds of faith and praises to the Emperor resonating through the air.

The next moment, the high-order power attached to them immediately attracted the attention of their original owners, and three vast, boundless, and ethereal high-order consciousnesses converged.

As the three high-order existences turned their consciousness toward this place, the flowing time instantly froze. Except for Wang An, who himself carried two high-order Ranks, no one else could even think.

The air, matter, and energy information all came to a standstill.

Similarly, the owner of the Holy Light gathered within the bodies of the two Custodian guards felt a Rank of the same level and likewise descended a consciousness to confront the three.

Although Wang An possessed two high-order Ranks, it was not enough for him to listen to the exchange of high-order existences. He only knew that the golden magic, the silver-white radiance, the cyan-green light of edification, and the Holy Light gathered from countless faiths collided for an instant, and then separated.

It was a simple and direct exchange; they seemed to reach an agreement on a certain condition and then departed.

With the departure of the high-order existences, the flow of time and space inside the starport returned to normal.

In Wang An's observation, the Custodian guards and the representatives of the Three Human Races all seemed to have received a portion of information from the high-order existences behind them.

Cassandra leaned on her golden staff and looked at the two Custodian guards with a smile.

"It seems your Holy Emperor has understood the survival environment of our Universe. Afterward, we will report to the Council to designate a Star Domain for you. The Milky Way Galaxy is currently full of chaos, so please try to minimize the outbreak of war."

The two Custodian guards did not say much; they just nodded in acknowledgment, then signaled their farewells toward Wang An, and left with the diplomatic mission.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Lord Envoy, the Inquisition Inquisitor, the Tech-Priest, and the Cardinal present had completely lost the right to participate and followed behind the Custodian guards without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wang An had some guesses as to why the voice of the Imperial Lord Envoy, who was originally the main team, had diminished.

"It seems that after entering this Universe, due to the vast gap in strength, it has become increasingly difficult for them to maintain their original authority. In such a truly transcendent society, mid-to-high-Rank transcendent Cultivators who gather great power in themselves are naturally at the upper echelons of civilization."

Observing from the side that the negotiations seemed to have proceeded extremely smoothly and that the Terra Human Race side had retreated quickly without saying anything else about retreating,

this allowed the King Di Jiang, who had been pretending to be relaxed, to completely let his guard down, lying on a soft cloud and lazily flapping his wings.

A voice of gratitude came from the vibration of the air: "Thank you, powerhouses of the Four Types of Humans. You will receive the authority to enter the entire Dijiang Star Domain of the Dijiang Race at will."

"Our race possesses a vast amount of light-type transcendent resources. If you do not mind, you may capture and use them as you please."

Hearing this, a look of interest flashed across the faces of the Three Human Races.

Although the King Di Jiang was at most a mid-Rank level 2 in strength, and the transcendent resources they could produce should not exceed this level, obtaining one or two mid-Rank level 1 light-path resources was still a significant gain.

Therefore, the three of them immediately reached a consensus to go to these few star systems to see if there were any suitable resources.

While the Dijiang Race's explicit resources were of no use to him, their dense light-path transcendent imagery gave him an inspiration: to try and harvest an Innate Profound Qi of a related attribute here.

It just so happened that he was currently comprehending the Law related to [Heavenly Fire]. If the harvested Law was suitable, it would undoubtedly accelerate his cultivation progress.

After the four of them received the access authority for the entire Dijiang Star Domain authorized by the King Di Jiang, they went off to do their own things. Since they would be returning to the Solar System anyway, they did not make much small talk.

With the detailed planetary star charts provided by the King Di Jiang and the star charts he had detected and plotted himself, the tianhe ship soon shuttled rapidly within these dozen or so star systems at ten thousand times the speed of light, collecting light-type imagery Heaven and Earth Qi and Wondrous Qi from within the planetary systems of the Dijiang Star Domain.

Only when he actually began collecting did Wang An feel surprised by the accumulation of the Dijiang Race.

"Just from the 7 light colors of the visible light spectrum—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—I have collected 49 different types of Wondrous Qi."

As for the quantity of Wondrous Qi, that goes without saying. With the Dijiang Race's accumulation of nearly ten thousand years of development, one could easily collect 108 of each type.

Furthermore, in addition to the visible light spectrum, there were electromagnetic waves, infrared, ultraviolet, etc., and within this range, another 100 types of related energy-type Wondrous Qi were collected.

As for the corresponding imagery, there was even more: colorful light imagery, color imagery, light-gathering and energy-converging, dispersion and regulation, etc., which could be described as bizarre and varied.

Fortunately, the flight speed of the tianhe ship had now reached its limit, and traveling between multiple planetary systems was extremely fast, consuming almost no time.

Inside the refining chamber of the tianhe ship, there were 108 long dragons of Wondrous Qi representing light and energy, forcibly confined together by a layer of purple-gold light membrane.

Between the gaps of these constantly flowing long dragons, there were also clouds of imagery of various colors, misting and manifesting various phenomena.
