752: Dr. Bai is a little upset

After instructing the Dimension Butterfly to send him back to Canglan Star, Yang Dian immediately went to the new Great Yu Immortal Dynasty Imperial City, which was drifting around the globe with the ocean currents, to find the Great Yu Crown Prince, or rather, the new Emperor of Great Yu, Yu Fei.

Yu Tian had disappeared. He probably wasn't dead, but shouldn't he look for him?

After all, Yu Tian still had several unlooted worlds in his hands.

Unfortunately, things did not go as expected.

Yu Tian was gone.

Or rather, the Clones that Yu Tian had left on the three stars—Canglan Star, Taicang Realm, and Chongming Star—had all died.

"Did he commit suicide, or was he hit by a long-range strike from the Nuo Ling Civilization?"

As this thought arose, Yang Dian subconsciously condensed a broken Fate rune, wanting to track down the Clones Yu Tian had hidden in other worlds.

Fate is truly outrageous.

As long as there is enough energy, even across thousands of mountains and rivers and endless stars, one can still precisely lock onto the target one is looking for.

Unfortunately, Yang Dian's strength was insufficient.

But it was not a big problem.

At least judging from the results he just obtained, Yu Tian was not hit by a long-range strike from the Nuo Ling Civilization.

Instead, after the main body—or perhaps that Clone, he wasn't sure if it was the main body—died, Yu Tian voluntarily abandoned the Clones left in this region, not even wanting the piece of star core Origin that was in Yang Dian's hands, and hid far away.

"Tsk, Yu Tian is still cautious."

While sighing with emotion, Yang Dian thought of himself.

‘The Nuo Ling Civilization probably possesses Karma-law weapons.’

‘If they are desperate to find me...’

Thinking of this, Yang Dian's brows furrowed deeply.

"So... should I learn from Yu Tian?"

Rubbing his glabella, Yang Dian tapped his bracelet again:

"Zero, do you think if I go back to Earth now, Earth will be targeted by the Nuo Ling Civilization?"

Zero was silent for a moment, then replied:

"According to the existing calculation System, it is impossible to calculate the result of that answer."

He took a step, and space rippled beneath Yang Dian's feet.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Yu Fei's bedchamber and arrived high above the sky.

Casually grabbing a white cloud and kneading it into a ball, Yang Dian sat cross-legged on it, looking at the vast land beneath his feet, somewhat lost in thought:

"Don't use calculation power to calculate."

"Just use your brain to think."

"Do you think it's possible for Earth to be targeted by the Nuo Ling Civilization?"

"Yes." Zero gave the answer directly:

"If the Nuo Ling Civilization is desperate to find you, there is a high probability that you will be locked onto by them."

"Perhaps the Nuo Ling people cannot deal with you when you are hidden in the deep space interlayer, but Earth will likely be exposed to their gaze."

Yang Dian sighed:

"So my best choice now is to cut off any connection with Earth?"

"Not necessarily." Zero gave a negative answer:

"Your connection with Earth is inseparable."

"The territory map you refined has already become a part of people's lives."

"The various Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques you created are also things that cultivators cannot part with."

"If you want to completely sever ties with Earth, you would need to take back the Cultivation Techniques, erase their memories, and destroy the territory map..."

"This would cause Martial Dao to regress to the Early Stage of Qi Revival, and our competitiveness would plummet."

"I think what you need to do now is to do everything possible to improve your strength."

"Strive to possess the strength to contend with a super-level civilization, or at least strength that a super-level civilization cannot ignore, in a very short time."

Yang Dian twitched the corner of his mouth.

Zero seemed to be joking with him.

Even if he was cheating, how could he catch up to someone else's hundreds of millions, or even billions of years of accumulation in a short time?

Perhaps Zero also knew that what it said was a bit demanding, so it continued:

"Of course, perhaps you could also let the Dimension Butterfly drag Earth into the deep dimensional space."

"Let Earth be in an invincible state where others cannot touch or attack it."

The Dimension Butterfly flew out from between Yang Dian's brows without a sound. It didn't flap its wings, but just hovered in front of the bracelet, its compound eyes staring intently at the bracelet.

Although it didn't speak, Yang Dian seemed to hear its inner voice.

[Say that again!]

Unable to help but chuckle, Yang Dian tapped the Dimension Butterfly's head twice, then cast his gaze toward the heavens:

"Tell me, how about I find a backer for Earth?"

Zero followed Yang Dian's gaze and thought of something:

"Do you mean a Star God?"

Yang Dian nodded:

"Undoubtedly, the Nuo Ling Civilization is extremely wary of Star Gods."

"After knowing that there was a juvenile Little Star God here on Canglan Star, they decisively stopped their spying and gave up on this place."

"If we could turn a Star God into our backer, we might not be able to walk sideways in the Universe, but it wouldn't be far off, right?"

Zero held a different opinion:

"Star Gods are too threatening. If the Little Star God finds out that you once stole the Silicon-based life from its body, it might take action against you."

"Moreover, we cannot guarantee that all Star Gods hold goodwill toward humans, nor that there are no battles between Star Gods."

"If a Little Star God appears outside Earth, and other Star Gods attack it, and even more Star Gods take action to protect it..."

"Earth would become the collateral damage."

After expressing its thoughts, Zero made a final summary:

"Therefore, pinning your hopes on others is not reliable."

"I think you, Commander, should strengthen yourself as much as possible so that when you encounter danger in the future, you will have enough confidence to face it."

Yang Dian let out a long sigh, extinguishing the last bit of wishful thinking in his heart:

"You are right."

"In the end, one can only rely on oneself."

Wiping his face, Yang Dian, having regained his spirit, tapped the bracelet again:

"Send the recording of what happened on Green Star to Lao Bai."

"The Universe is so big, and super civilizations are so strong; I am powerless for the time being."

"Let him handle it himself."

The message was just sent, and within three seconds, Lao Bai's projection appeared beside Yang Dian.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and finally, Lao Bai, having learned Yang Dian's essence, opened his hands, rubbed his face, and let out a long sigh.

"Sigh~~~"

After exhaling, he sat down beside Yang Dian with some annoyance, and lay back as if giving up all resistance:

"You know."

"Before the Qi Revival, we used I don't know how much manpower and material resources to catch up with the West."

"Later, when the Qi Revival happened, I was lucky and found a database of a high-level civilization."

"Before long, I researched technology that surpassed the era and manufactured weapons that surpassed the era."

"I thought it was stable."

"As a result, it didn't stay stable for long before the dimensional overlap phenomenon appeared, the two worlds intersected, and technological creations could not pass through space nodes."

"I thought Earth was going to be invaded."

"Then you appeared out of nowhere."

"I thought it was stable again."

"And the result?"

"The Dimensional Battlefield that gathered thousands of civilizations..."

"The dimensional gaps peering into the real world..."

"More powerful civilizations appearing constantly..."

"Not a single one lets me worry less."

"Now this is great."

"Heh~"

"A super-level civilization appeared that builds highways in the Universe and beats people into near-extinction at the slightest disagreement."

"I am a human, a human with only a brain left!"

"Not a god!"

"How the hell am I supposed to handle this?"

Obviously.

Dr. Bai, who received the new message, was having a minor breakdown...
