338: The Earth's Powerlessness

'Is this the true Cosmic Creature planet, the social form of Cosmic Creatures?'

As he muttered to himself, Yang Dian saw a large expanse of black space occupy his vision.

Looking down, a pitch-black dot appeared 970 kilometers above the ground, and within a few blinks of an eye, the black sphere's diameter expanded to 3000 meters.

Soon after, Star Tinder Behemoths and Winged Flame Dragons emerged from the black wormhole, flapping their wings and merging with the illusions woven by the Light-Weaving Spiders, passing through the channels separated by dust, and flying towards the location of Planet 2.

'No wonder.'

'No wonder neither the natural lifeforms nurtured by the World Tree nor the nanobots dispatched by Earth could enter the native planet of the Cosmic Creatures.'

'There are dust worms stirring up the magnetic field, blocking all magnetic field scans and preventing technological items like nanobots from entering.'

'There are unnamed Cosmic Creatures guarding the planet, preventing natural lifeforms from approaching or entering the planet.'

'How can one enter their native planet then?'

'Also, if the Cosmic Creatures were serious, they could annihilate Planet 2 in minutes, right?'

'So why haven't they annihilated the Alien Planet?'

At this moment, Yang Dian could only think of one possibility.

'They want to deduce Earth's spatial coordinates based on the passage I opened?'

Hovering outside the dust belt, Yang Dian's eyes flickered a few times, then he unhesitatingly severed the spatial passage from Earth to Planet 2.

The Cosmic Creatures were eyeing Earth.

But Yang Dian, who had realized their true situation, was also eyeing them.

'If I could capture these Cosmic Creatures and then alter their cognition...'

Taking two deep breaths, Yang Dian quietly floated in the sky again, staying at the edge of the dust belt for an entire day.

Only after confirming that the Cosmic Creatures would not riot for the time being did he turn and leave without hesitation.

After moving a sufficient distance away, he took out the quantum communication phone he had only developed a few months ago.

As expected.

During the day that the spatial passage to the Alien Planet disappeared, he received countless messages.

After replying to the messages one by one, Yang Dian looked back at the planet where the Cosmic Creatures resided, then unhesitatingly opened a spatial passage and warped several times in Universe space.

After waiting another half a day, confirming that no Cosmic Creatures were tracking him, he opened the spatial passage to Earth... Space Research Institute, conference room.

When Yang Dian pushed open the door and entered the conference room, it was already filled with people.

The Think Tank, the Special Administration Bureau, the Martial Security Bureau, the military... everyone who had received Yang Dian's notification was present in the conference room.

Yang Dian didn't waste time after entering the conference room, directly projecting a video behind him.

A realistic video related to Cosmic Creatures, replicated with spatial power.

After letting the projection loop twice, Yang Dian continued, "This is the current situation."

"The footage we captured before was only what they allowed us to see."

"The actual situation of the Cosmic Creatures is far more powerful than we speculated, much more powerful."

"From my observations, Cosmic Creatures are a collective term for Silicon-based life, atmospheric life, and energy life."

As he spoke, Yang Dian pointed to the Star Tinder Behemoths standing densely on the ground, a sight that gave people intense trypophobia.

The Cloud Whales in groups in the sky, distorting magnetic fields.

The black wormholes connecting the surface and the sky.

And the countless glowing prisms in the ocean.

"I don't know what powerful Cosmic Creatures exist underground, but their current displayed strength alone is beyond Earth's capability to handle."

"To be safe, I directly closed the spatial passage to prevent them from pinpointing Earth's coordinates through it and launching an attack on Earth."

After listening to Yang Dian's account, Han Zhang was silent for a moment before speaking, "As Earth's strongest individual currently, how do you view the Cosmic Creatures?"

Yang Dian pondered for a moment before saying, "Based on their Qi fluctuations and magnetic field strength, the Cosmic Creatures I've observed so far are not as strong as me."

"But if they all swarmed and attacked Earth, I wouldn't be able to stop them."

"It would be difficult to stop even one-thousandth of them."

"Furthermore, I'm not sure if there are Cosmic Creatures on that planet whose strength surpasses mine."

"They are Silicon-based life, and in a dormant state, they are like a rock. I cannot perceive if dormant Silicon-based life poses a threat."

After hearing Yang Dian's explanation, Han Zhang felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

The strength of the Cosmic Creatures indeed exceeded his, and everyone's, imagination.

They knew Cosmic Creatures were strong, but they didn't expect them to be this strong.

He dared not imagine what catastrophic consequences would ensue if Cosmic Creatures discovered Earth's location.

However, the best outcome would likely be to become an existence similar to the Lingwen Clan, becoming guides for the Cosmic Creatures.

Closing his eyes and taking two deep breaths, he stood up again: "We are temporarily powerless against Cosmic Creatures."

"But I believe that given enough time, we will eventually catch up to the Cosmic Creatures, and then surpass them."

After setting the general tone, he continued, "Now, we need to debate several issues."

"First, compared to planets, stars clearly possess more energy. Why do Cosmic Creatures actively seek out life-bearing planets instead of staying within star systems to mine stellar energy?"

"Second, at China's current development speed, how much more time do we need to possess the power to contend with Cosmic Creatures?"

"Third, how do Cosmic Creatures transport planets over super-long distances in the Universe? If they obtain Earth's coordinates, how long would it take them to reach Earth, and can we acquire this power..."

After stating these questions, he looked at Yang Dian and said, "We are temporarily powerless against Cosmic Creatures, so the true information about them will not be released to the public for now, to avoid causing panic."

"What we can do now is to improve our strength as much as possible before the Cosmic Creatures or other threats arrive..."

Soon after, the meeting concluded.

Old Daoist Qingfeng, who attended the meeting via projection, walked up to Yang Dian and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

Yang Dian calculated his current energy and the energy required for future trait development, then pondered for a moment before saying, "First, I'll visit Wuhou Grotto-heaven to see if I can find any heaven and earth treasures."

"Then I also plan to go to Planet 2 to have a chat with the World Tree."

"If possible, I also want to go to the Cosmic Creature planet and capture some Silicon-based life."

"After all this, I will focus on perfecting the Becoming God Method and then refining the territory map."
