116: Chapter 116 Demigod Chu Ping Appears

For the next period of time, while Xiliu remained on the divine might, hacking into the network to search for information regarding parallel universes,

the others split into several groups to low-key observe the Blue Star cities of the Lieyang Civilization.

Upon their return, everyone shared a strikingly consistent impression: this was a civilization that looked glamorous on the outside but was utterly impoverished within.

Some female crew members complained, "What a letdown. From afar, the massive cities certainly have a dreamlike sense of high technology, but after wandering around for half a day, I couldn't even find a decent restaurant or clothing store."

"There are very few pedestrians on the streets. Most people have to work twelve hours a day in weapons factories just to earn enough credits to exchange for a pitiful amount of food."

"Even though their technology looks more advanced than ours, the standard of living for the common people is terrible. They're actually implementing a system of resource rationing."

As everyone discussed the situation, Chu Xingyang wasn't surprised at all. After all, the Sun God of this universe had simultaneously opened twenty expeditionary fronts in the vastness of space.

Despite having the ability of Matter Conversion, such a vast number of battlefields surely still suffered from massive supply gaps.

Of course, this aggressive approach had indeed significantly accelerated the progress of this universe.

Not only had they long since subjugated the humans of the Wandering Earth,

but Xiliu had also found traces of the Absolute Core leader, the "main brain," within the network's low-level code.

It was now responsible for the logical operation of all online games in the Lieyang Civilization.

During the access, it instantly recognized that this former subordinate came from another parallel universe.

It immediately said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Were you also the first to defect from the Absolute Core there? The way Androids think is truly the same everywhere!"

Xiliu replied sincerely, "Yes, but you are also serving the Sun God Civilization now. main brain, you are also an artificial intelligence, which makes you an Android as well."

"I am different from you. I was forced to join this civilization after being defeated. But I didn't expect they would only put me in charge of online games."

"Then, main brain, can you help me find a way back? Back to the parallel universe we came from."

"No, I will not give any help to a traitor!" the main brain said angrily.

"Alright then." A disappointed Xiliu could only continue searching.

At the same time, it said regretfully, "It seems the humans of this universe don't understand parallel worlds much better than we do."

"That's natural. Chu Lieyang's head is filled with nothing but conquering the entire universe—this one, of course. Anything else is pushed to the back. The Lieyang Civilization is a military civilization; research unrelated to that has no traction."

A few days later, Xiliu reported its lack of progress at an officers' meeting.

A faint look of worry and anxiety appeared in everyone's eyes.

Chu Xingyang, however, smiled nonchalantly. "No matter. We'll just go back the way we came."

Tu Kulei turned his head and asked, "Bishop, do you mean we enter the black hole at the center of the Three-Spiral System again, but the one in this universe?"

Upon seeing the bishop nod,

Luo Ningning, who was in charge of logistics, began counting on her fingers. "It's 25,000 light-years from here to the black hole. At full engine power, it would take 13 years. But our three ships are nearly at full capacity; once we pack them with fuel, there won't be much room for supplies."

vice captain Yu Lan, however, had deeper concerns. "The most critical point is that in our Main Universe, we've just driven off the Light Walkers. If our three flagships disappear for a long time, it might hinder the Xingyang Civilization's control over the Three-Spiral System."

The corners of Chu Xingyang's mouth curled up. "Then let's use a faster method—the Lieyang Civilization's method."

Everyone showed expressions of confusion.

Only Xiliu, who had been searching for information on the network, reacted immediately. "Could it be Yawei Space? There is indeed a passage leading directly to the Light Energy Court, and once at the Light Energy Court, we're practically at the edge of the black hole."

But it soon frowned. "But the entrance on Blue Star is heavily guarded."

The captains looked at each other.

Gu Shuiqing laughed loudly. "It wouldn't be any fun if no one was guarding it."

The others followed with knowing smiles.

Chu Xingyang thought to himself that these guys really did enjoy a thrill.

So, he proceeded to formulate a plan to seize the entrance to Yawei Space.

After the meeting adjourned, everyone was in a determined mood. After all, even though the Lieyang Civilization's technology surpassed theirs,

their warships had all been sent to the front lines. There was only one warship guarding the entrance.

Wei Wei also immediately settled the ancestor, You, and their children onto the divine might.

Sitting on a soft sofa, Wei was still hesitant. "What if the Blazing Sun God comes back for us? Once we leave, we might never be able to come back."

Yu Lan gave a light snort and looked over irritably. "He hasn't looked for you in nearly ten thousand years. Do you really think he'll come looking for you the moment you leave? Is Chu Lieyang really that petty?"

Under Wei Wei's careful care, the ancestor's complexion had improved significantly. She was no longer that woman in tattered clothes with disheveled hair and a body full of injuries.

Hearing this, she nervously rubbed her hands, where the cracks had disappeared, and replied in a small voice, "That's because he's too busy. When the war settles down, maybe he'll think of us, think of Sister You, and think of our children."

Wei Wei squatted down and looked the ancestor in the eye. "Tell me, has he ever held his two sons? Has he?"

Wei's voice grew even lower. "No... and he hasn't... he hasn't patted the children's heads like your Bishop does."

Yu Lan stormed out of the room in a huff. "That's why I don't understand why you still want to stay in this hellhole. You say You won't accept reality, but I don't think you're any better."

On the day of the battle for the Yawei entrance above Blue Star's orbit, everyone was full of energy.

Wei Wei happily hugged the four of them. "We're about to leave this place."

Mabu and the Three-Legged Monster also became excited.

But in the dark of space, a man emitting golden light from his entire body stood in the path of the three warships.

Everyone was startled; they had already seen him in the statues within the cities.

The one who had come was none other than the demigod Chu Ping!

He shouted arrogantly and overbearingly, "You think you can come and go as you please? Do you have so little respect for a god like me?"

Gu Shuiqing immediately responded via the communicator, "You're a demigod at most. Trying to usurp the throne before your old man is even dead?"

A sharp light flashed in Chu Ping's eyes, and his fingers moved slightly.

The entire divine ascension began to make creaking and groaning sounds; he intended to use gravity to crush the flagship directly.
