180: Chapter 180 Strange

The next day.

Everyone was waiting at the landing site of the interstellar warship.

Of the over one hundred Life and Death Realm Martial Artists of the Blue Star Civilization, a quick glance revealed that over forty had arrived.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this was less than half.

This proportion was already quite astonishing.

Life and Death Realm experts basically withdrew from worldly affairs; they were either in seclusion or on their way to it.

These forty-plus individuals were all those who could be contacted.

Ji Yebai looked at the people present and couldn't help but feel admiration.

These forty-plus Life and Death Realm experts each possessed a distinct temperament.

Furthermore, they all carried a faint aura of slaughter about them.

This kind of slaughterous aura was something not seen in the younger generation.

As Ji Yebai stood beside Nangong Qing, numerous gazes were instantly cast toward him.

They even sized up Ji Yebai without the slightest concealment.

These gazes were all filled with a type of hostility.

“...”

Ji Yebai glanced at Nangong Qing speechlessly.

Yet she seemed not to have noticed at all.

In the Life and Death Realm, the spirit and the physical body merge.

Even a mere gaze carried a sort of pressure that felt almost tangible.

If it were an Xiantian Expert, the gazes of over forty Life and Death Realm experts would be enough to make their whole body tremble.

Ji Yebai knew the reason for the hostility.

However, one particular gaze caught Ji Yebai's attention.

That gaze contained inquiry, scrutiny, and a certain fervor.

Unlike the gazes of those Life and Death Realm experts looking at a love rival, this gaze came from an Innate.

Ji Yebai followed the gaze and looked over.

It was a young man wearing a uniform.

Seeing Ji Yebai look over, the man immediately cupped his fists and bowed slightly.

Though surprised, Ji Yebai still nodded back.

Time passed slowly.

Nearly an hour went by quickly.

It was now close to the appointed time.

Everyone stood in full battle readiness.

One point where the current Blue Star Civilization differed from other civilizations was its political system.

Having experienced the chaos and cruelty of the Great Migration Era, coupled with the fact that the high-level officials from the first generation of immigrants were still alive, and the occasional suppression from the Pansi Civilization and the Draiden Star Civilization.

The entire system of the Blue Star Civilization basically maintained a state of internal relaxation and external tension.

One could even say this state was a form of semi-military control.

Because of this, over forty Life and Death Realm experts could be easily summoned by a single message from the Security Bureau.

The Life and Death Realm experts remaining today were all those who had experienced the slaughter of the Great Migration back then.

The Blue Star Civilization that escaped from the Void Land was incredibly weak.

Although there was a novice protection period, forces like interstellar pirates and others who were secretly curious about the Blue Star Civilization constantly plundered them.

Coupled with the struggle for this planet.

It could be said that the Blue Star Civilization's ability to have its current environment was entirely fought for by these Life and Death Realm experts.

They were all people who had made enormous contributions to the civilization.

In a group, the more one contributes, the stronger their sense of protection becomes.

The same was true for the current Life and Death Realm experts.

Precisely because of this semi-military control and the ready response of Life and Death Realm experts,

The Blue Star Civilization's society was stable and flourishing.

Their unity had undergone a baptism of blood.

In such an atmosphere, time quickly reached the scheduled point.

And at that very moment.

Buzz!

A unique ripple spread out.

The space directly ahead suddenly began to shake like ripples on water.

A purple-gold starship slowly appeared.

The starship was no more than a hundred meters long, and its exterior was filled with aesthetic elements different from those of the Blue Star Civilization.

The purple-gold metal was densely covered with dark-gold patterns, isolating it from all exploration by Divine Sense and Mental Energy.

Even Ji Yebai's gaze could not penetrate inside.

“Eh!?”

Ji Yebai looked up in surprise.

He actually sensed a special presence.

Majestic, immortal, and a light that seemed as if it were about to ignite.

Saint Rank!?

Ji Yebai frowned slightly.

He had not yet encountered the Saint Rank, but that immortal aura was as dazzling as a great sun.

However, it seemed a bit strange!

Soon, the warship came to a steady halt.

A group of over a dozen people walked down from the warship.

The leading man was like the moon surrounded by stars, followed by attendants who looked like servants.

These attendants had respectful expressions, but what made the people of the Blue Star Civilization look solemn was their strength.

Every single one had the strength of at least a Golden Warrior.

There were even several in the Legendary Realm.

Especially the gray-haired burly man next to the central man; an extremely strong sense of pressure emanated from him—he was actually a High-level Legendary.

“The Blue Star Civilization greets Young Master Daliven!”

Officials from the Blue Star Federal Government rushed forward to offer their greetings.

Facing everyone's greetings, Daliven didn't even bother to speak and simply waved his hand.

The gray-haired burly man beside him suddenly took a step forward.

His eyes opened and closed as he scanned the entire field.

Whoosh!

An illusory bolt of lightning flashed by.

In an instant, all the Life and Death Realm experts present felt a heavy pressure.

“Young Master Daliven has heard that the Blue Star Civilization is a civilization that emerged from the Void Land. He feels you have great potential and intends to take you in as his exclusive civilization!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

The scene fell silent.

The expressions of the Blue Star Civilization people turned ugly.

This group of people, especially the moon-surrounded Young Master in the center, came from the Daliven Family of the Cosmic Union.

The Daliven Family was an old-established Family.

The Family's history could be traced back fifty thousand years.

Furthermore, in every generation, the Daliven Family had Saint Ranks born.

The current Daliven Family was at its peak, with more than ten Saint Ranks controlling the entire Family.

Their status in the Cosmic Union Parliament was very high.

A day ago, when they received news that Young Master Daliven was coming to the Blue Star Civilization, the people of the Blue Star Civilization felt this might be trouble.

But they hadn't expected the trouble to be this big.

The Blue Star Civilization could accept becoming a subordinate civilization of another civilization, but they could not accept becoming the exclusive civilization of a single person.

A subordinate civilization possesses autonomy.

An exclusive civilization only serves one person.

To be more specific, the former is like an employee; the latter is of a servant nature.

“Young Master Daliven.”

“We are very grateful for the regard you have shown our Blue Star Civilization, but we only emerged from the Void Land three hundred years ago, and many things have not yet been sorted out. Especially since we have not yet passed the protection period of the Cosmic Union!”

The high-level Blue Star government officials immediately responded: “We wish to follow you, Young Master, after we have passed the protection period!”

Although the Blue Star Civilization had developed for three hundred years, to be honest,

Even excluding the interference of Saint Ranks, in terms of population, technology, and Cultivators alone, they could not be mentioned in the same breath as the Daliven Family.

Although the Daliven Family was named as a Family, in reality, they were a Family-style civilization.

The entire Daliven Family had a population of nearly fifty billion.

And that wasn't even counting other subordinate civilizations.

While everyone's gazes here were focused on Young Master Daliven, and especially as the Blue Star government was racking its brains to organize its words,

Ji Yebai once again cast his gaze toward the purple-gold warship.

After a slight hesitation,

Ji Yebai's Divine Sense condensed, and with the help of the power of Laws, it instantly turned into an invisible ripple and plunged directly into the warship.

The patterns and field on the surface of the warship were penetrated by Ji Yebai's Divine Sense in an instant.

His Divine Sense, like a tidal wave, probed directly toward that immortal aura he had detected.
