30: Chapter 30 Extraterrestrial Visitors

Chu Xingyang was squatting by the spring, gently stirring the water with his hand; the warm temperature felt very comfortable.

But just then, the voice of his fifth created planet, Lao Wu, echoed in his mind: "Father, it seems a spaceship is heading toward us."

Lao Wu was the outermost icy planet in his star system. Perhaps it was precisely because of its location that it was the first to sense the visitors from beyond.

Chu Xingyang immediately switched his physical form back to Consciousness Projection and returned from Blue Star to the main body of his star.

Looking around the surrounding universe again from the perspective of the sun, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness. He even felt that the eighteen races on the third planet seemed too insignificant in the vast, boundless universe.

But the necessary tasks still had to be done; following Lao Wu's guidance, he strained his gaze toward the depths of the distant universe.

He vaguely saw a silvery-white speck of light seemingly flying toward his sun.

However, a massive spherical cloud enveloped his Solar System, so he could not see it clearly.

This sphere had a diameter of a full two light-years, and his sun was located exactly at the center of this sphere.

He aimed at the outermost edge of the cloud and sent his Consciousness Projection there.

Now he could see it clearly: it was a spaceship the size of a football field, currently three light-years away from his star, flying toward him at one-thousandth the speed of light.

Chu Xingyang was somewhat puzzled; what was the origin of this spaceship, and what was its purpose in coming here?

Suddenly, he felt a bit dejected. Clearly, there were many civilizations in this universe, and some were already capable of interstellar travel. Meanwhile, the human civilization in his Solar System was still far from even reaching the Steam Age.

If this spaceship maintained its speed, he wondered how much of a shock its arrival in three thousand years would bring to the humans he had created!

He wanted to use his Consciousness Projection on the spaceship to investigate, but found he could not project onto it at all.

Was it too far away? Or was it because the outer layer of this spherical cloud was the boundary of the Solar System, and his Consciousness Projection could currently only be used within the Solar System?

Fortunately, this cloud was extremely thick and contained countless small celestial bodies of varying sizes. Using Matter Conversion, Chu Xingyang created nearly ten thousand unmanned observation posts equipped with cameras, then hid them within the cloud to constantly monitor the spaceship's movements.

After doing all this, his consciousness returned to the star. Lao Wu asked puzzledly: "Father, did you go to the outside of that distant nebula? How far is it from me? What is it called?"

The planet was just a simple consciousness, unable to leave or do anything, so it always seemed very curious.

Chu Xingyang thought for a moment and, for the sake of convenience, decided to borrow a name, so he said indifferently: "Let's call the spherical cloud that wraps around us the Oort Cloud. The outermost layer of the Oort Cloud is one light-year away from me; that can be considered the boundary of my star system."

"One light-year, how far is that?"

"Let's put it this way: the eldest, who is closest to me, is 6,000 kilometers away. You are 3 billion kilometers away from me, and the length of one light-year is 9.46 trillion kilometers! You should be able to understand the difference between 30 and 94,600."

After a moment of silence, Lao Wu said with great emotion: "Father, then your true size is two light-years! You really are too great."

Chu Xingyang felt that his main body was just the sun and could not consider the entire Solar System as himself.

However, he did not refute it, but instead returned directly to Blue Star, back to the spring in the capital of the Rising Sun Alliance.

Wei Wei and City Lord You Lu had been waiting for a long time; they were even reflecting on whether they had done something wrong that caused the deity to leave without saying goodbye.

So when they saw the deity return, both were exceptionally excited.

Chu Xingyang first had them calm down, then, with an experimental mindset, pointed his finger at Wei Wei's body and activated the skill [Matter Conversion].

Wei Wei only felt a warm current throughout her body, and soon this warmth gathered in her abdomen. During the more than three years in the Goblin's underground prison, her body, which had been ravaged and left with several extremely slack areas, began to automatically close and repair itself.

A certain scar in her lower abdomen also healed completely.

This feeling of every cell in her body being replaced was wonderful and strange. An unprecedented, extreme pleasure caused her legs to go weak, and she knelt down.

After a while, she crawled to the feet of the Xingyang God and pressed her forehead against the deity's feet. Feeling renewed and clean, she finally dared to touch the deity's body.

With tears in her eyes, Wei Wei kowtowed repeatedly: "It is the great deity who has cleansed my body; I have become a virgin again, and my body has returned to how it was before I was captured."

Chu Xingyang helped her up, thinking to himself that this skill could actually convert human bodies. Even a dying old person could be restored to youth and reborn. It was quite practical.

He looked at City Lord You Lu nearby: "The magic academy is right next to the spring, isn't it? Mobilize all the teachers and students in the school to see if you can find a way to break the curse on the Goblin."

A trace of hesitation flashed in City Lord You Lu's eyes, but it quickly became exceptionally firm: "Yes, I will strictly obey the divine decree!"

"Also, how have you arranged the matter of the Goblin and the Wolf People coming to discuss things?"

"Those are two groups of about a thousand people each, and they have already entered the Alliance's territory. Along the way, we have followed the deity's will and allowed them passage. It is expected that in ten days, they will arrive at the capital and reach this place."

Chu Xingyang nodded, thinking to himself that an extraterrestrial civilization was already on its way, yet the races on his Solar System, on this only habitable planet, were still killing and fighting each other; it was simply outrageous.

However, there was still three thousand years of time, and he didn't want to force things prematurely; he still felt he should give these humans some time.

Ten days passed quickly.

The Goblin's King, Luo Bu, led a retinue of a thousand people into the palace of the Alliance capital.

The minister Luo Lin nearby felt extremely uneasy; he leaned over and whispered: "King, could this be a trap? Will our thousand people be unable to return?"

Luo Bu slapped him directly: "Insolent! Does the Great Deity Xingyang need to set a trap for us? Our total Goblin population is only over one million; with a single thought from the deity, all one million of us would immediately be reduced to dust. Does the deity need to use traps?"

Although he had been slapped, the King's words did make Luo Lin relax.

The Wolf People's delegation of a thousand arrived late; they originally did not want to come because this race had never seen the Xingyang God with their own eyes.

But after seeing the scene where all the hilltops where the Goblin lived had been overturned, no one dared to risk the consequences of resisting the divine will.

Their behavior was even worse than the Goblin; the Goblin did what they did for reproduction, while the reason the Wolf People had been fighting the Rising Sun Alliance for so long was that they liked to eat human flesh.

The Wolf People had also tried eating the Goblin, but after finding it truly unpalatable, they turned to join forces with the Goblin to oppose the Rising Sun Alliance.

Now they also wanted to know what kind of peace plan the deity would bring to the three races.
