148: Chapter 148 Communication
There is a town of the Spirit Race very close to Tianlan Star, less than five kilometers away.
Not only was Li Changtian wary of the Spirit Void Realm, but the intelligent races of the Spirit Void Realm were equally wary of another world situated right next to their own.
Things are relative; the Spirit Void Realm, like Tianlan Star, is a world suffering from the erosion and assimilation of the Void Realm, both barely surviving under unknown fear.
To guard against Sea City, the people of the Spirit Race specifically set up small towns a few kilometers away from the boundary where the two worlds' influences met.
Under the control of Alliance Army members, a small town with an otherworldly charm soon appeared in front of the unmanned airship; its mottled city walls were covered with traces of time.
Through the images, Fang Yuan and the others saw the scenery of another world so realistically for the first time.
"The people of the Spirit Race there have discovered the unmanned airship."
As the airship approached, the Alliance Army member controlling it immediately reported the intelligence.
Then, under Xu Zhen's command, this Alliance Army member, barely in his early twenties and already a Gold Rank Three, immediately maneuvered the airship to slowly ascend, eventually leveling with the hundred-meter-high walls of the otherworldly town.
On top of the city wall, the people of the Spirit Race, who had never seen an airship, looked at each other; they did not feel any threat from the airship.
Nor was it a terrifying monster, so they did not immediately attack.
"Is this the Spirit Race? They don't seem much different from us, it's just that their hair is colorful, everything is there..."
Seeing the intelligent beings of another world with her own eyes, Li Xuefei's eyes widened as she curiously watched the Spirit Race on the projection.
The Spirit Race appearing on the projection did not differ much in overall appearance from humans, only having slight differences in various places.
However, these scattered differences, when combined, created a clear distinction between humans and the Spirit Race, and more importantly, the figures in the projection were at most 1.65 meters tall, with most being under 1.6 meters.
Their short stature, combined with their not-so-different appearance, made them seem not very threatening.
Bang!!
A figure on the high wall, dressed distinctly differently from the other Spirit Race members, stepped forward. Then, a green energy attack fiercely struck the airship in the air.
Just at this critical moment, a gray energy barrier suddenly rose in front of the unmanned airship, neutralizing the energy attack.
"Activate the projection and communicate with these otherworldly beings."
Seeing this, Xu Zhen immediately instructed the operator to proceed according to the protocol.
"..."
Guo Yi, who specialized in this, immediately pressed a prominent red button, then spoke words that Fang Yuan and the others could not understand.
In the small town in the Spirit Void Realm, the figure on the high wall, who had intended to continue attacking, suddenly saw a projection appear on the strange flying object.
Within the projection, it was clearly the intelligent beings from the other world they had discovered, with dozens of figures looking back at him.
Seeing this, Qi He, who had originally intended to attack, immediately retracted the energy radiating from his hand.
Clearly seeing his actions, Fang Yuan and the others immediately recognized that this Spirit Race member, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, was a Gold Rank True Spirit Professional.
Hearing the voice from the projection, Qi He, knowing the seriousness of the matter, had a nearby team member return to report the intelligence.
Fang Yuan and the others standing behind Guo Yi, as well as the three magnates of Sea City, did not know what he was saying.
"This is the Universal World Language. Through the Alliance's exploration, we discovered this language, which is prevalent in several worlds.
What he means is, we are people of the Human Alliance from Tianlan Star..."
Wen Ying, from the Support Group, who specialized in the Universal World Language, explained to Fang Yuan and the others what the words they couldn't understand meant.
The Universal World Language, an unknown language circulated among various worlds, as for its origin.
The people of the Human Alliance did not know, only that it was a language they could use to communicate with all the worlds they had encountered, hence it was called the Universal World Language.
The Universal World Language was very obscure and difficult to understand, so the Human Alliance specifically trained talents in the universal language to communicate with people from other worlds.
However, because the Universal World Language was too difficult to learn, even Legend Rank Professionals whose Souls had been strengthened needed more than a year to master it.
The difficulty was so immense that even the three Human Alliance Legendary Professionals here had not mastered it; only the operator Guo Yi and Wen Ying happened to have mastered it..." "Mayor Mi Lin, a strange flying object has appeared on the city wall. Captain Qi He said the matter is urgent and hopes you can come over quickly."
The Spirit Race member, carrying urgent intelligence, quickly arrived at the center of the town and reported everything: the discovery of an unknown object and the images of people from the adjacent world on it.
"..., have the intelligent beings of the other world finally decided to try and make contact with us?" Mi Lin murmured to herself upon receiving the intelligence; she had been stationed here for a long time, waiting for this very moment.
After a sound, the person reporting the intelligence only felt a blur in his eyes, and the figure in front of him disappeared.
Seeing this, he also slowly retreated, returning in the direction he had come from.
During this time, the situation at the front remained in a stalemate; no matter how much Universal World Language operator Guo Yi spoke, the people of the Spirit Race on top of the town's high wall made no move.
Seeing no reaction from the other party, the operator quickly understood that they did not understand the Universal World Language.
There was no way, they couldn't keep talking to a brick wall; the two sides just stood there, staring at each other, neither speaking... "Guji..., Guji~!"
Legendary Rank Six Mi Lin only took a few tens of seconds to get from the town center to the airship. Upon arriving, she first attempted to communicate using her race's language.
Clearly, her words were naturally incomprehensible to everyone else.
Before she could continue, operator Guo Yi, seeing the other party speak, quickly used the Universal World Language to try and communicate with her.
"..."
Not long after hearing the Universal World Language, Mi Lin also spoke the Universal World Language in response.
Once communication was established, the conversation to understand each other's situation lasted for several hours.
With operator Guo Yi's translation, Fang Yuan in the field could clearly understand what they were saying.
In summary, both sides briefly explained the situation of their respective worlds. The Human Alliance side basically did not lie, directly stating the fact that Tianlan Star currently has seventeen Epic War Gods.
Of course, the existence of nuclear weapons was not mentioned here; such powerful mass-producible thermal weapons are even more terrifying than the threat of seventeen Epic War Gods.
If used properly, dealing with thirty or forty ordinary Epic Rank One or Epic Rank Two Professionals would be no problem at all.
According to the other party, the Spirit Void Realm already has a powerful Epic Rank Four True Spirit Professional, who is the controller of the Spirit Race.
The remaining powerful combat forces include three Epic Rank Three, eight Epic Rank Two, and twenty Epic Rank One, totaling thirty-two Epic War Gods.
Li Changtian and the others did not know if what the other party said was true, but they figured it shouldn't be far off.
After all, the Spirit Void Realm has been eroded and assimilated for over a hundred years, more than double the time of Tianlan Star, so it's not surprising to have so many powerful Epic Rank True Spirit Professionals.
Moreover, stating their strongest combat power is a deterrent to Tianlan Star; it's likely that the Spirit Race would not conceal any information here...
