Chapter 1023: Investigating the Battleships

Hong Tianqi gaped. “Really? That’s remarkable. I wouldn’t have expected that girl to possess such tremendous talent. Damn it—why do all the geniuses gather by your side? It’s as though you’re blessed by the world!”

.

Zhang Lie shrugged. “There’s nothing to that claim—it’s just a case of birds of a feather flocking together.”

“What’s going on in the third realm now?”

Zhang Lie asked, “What are you referring to, precisely?”

“I’m just curious. As far as I know, there’s been a change to the draconian world.”

“I must say you have a very strong information network.”

Hong Tianqi nodded. “Of course I do. I have to be aware of how mankind is doing everywhere in the dimensional realm.”

“The draconian world has evolved into a superior world.”

“Really? As expected of you.”

“It looks like you aren’t too surprised…”

Hong Tianqi shrugged. “I’ve grown accustomed to all sorts of strange events happening around you.

I heard you mention that the superior worlds of antiquity are all bastards. What do they have to say about the sudden appearance of another superior world?”

“I can’t imagine they favor it, but we’re on good terms with the nearest superior-world neighbor, the Zongming world.Their king of the realm has promised to protect the two new superior worlds that have evolved.”

“There’s another one?”

“Yes, one that’s some distance from the draconian world.”

“It looks like the Zongming king might have his own plans…”

“Don’t worry. I’m active in the third realm, and I’ll make sure humanity thrives.”

“With you around, I’ve never needed to worry. I’m glad the situation regarding the death spirits has been resolved. I’ll contact you again if something else happens.” Hong Tianqi bade Zhang Lie farewell, then ended the call.

Zhang Lie browsed the hunters’ forums and found that the hot new topic of discussion was the superior worlds’ meeting.”

“Huge groups of aliens are setting off. Just where are they headed?”

“To a meeting convened by the superior worlds, if I’m not mistaken.”

“What are these superior worlds? I’ve heard of large worlds, but never superior ones!”

“A type of world larger than even large worlds?”

“Why not call it a holy world? A superior world sounds so dull and boring! Are there peak worlds beyond these superior worlds, or undefeatable worlds?”

Zhang Lie was stupefied by this last comment.

The forums were still discussing outdated information; the war against the death spirits had already finished, and the forums were still discussing the initial meeting convened by the superior worlds.

Thanks to Zhang Lie, the war against the death spirits had ended far quicker than expected. It had only taken three or four days in Earth time.

Quite a few posts were discussing the evolution of the draconian world into a superior world. However, there were few people who knew enough to comment on what was happening to the draconian world, and many were trying to figure out just what had happened.

“It looks as though the draconian world has merged with its neighbors.”

“The draconian world looks to be replete with resources these days. I went hiking in the mountains and found a rare herb!”

Some of the posters had guessed correctly, and Zhang Lie took them to be mostly human hunters. The majority of the hunters from the Milky Way within the draconian world were humans.

“Really? Can you post the coordinates to the world? I’d like to check it out for myself.”

The other aliens of the Milky Way were all very impressed by the changes that had occurred.”

Zhang Lie quickly grew bored of scrolling through the posts. He stepped back into the teleportation apparatus and into the draconian world.

He had only spent half an hour or so on Earth, but a day had passed in the third realm. Zhang Lie headed to the battleships, where he found several researchers carefully inspecting and examining them.

When the Yeluo chieftain saw Zhang Lie approach, he immediately beckoned him over. “You’ve come, your majesty!”

Zhang Lie asked, “Can you introduce me to these people?”

The Yeluo chieftain nodded and shouted, “Everyone, gather over here!”

Fang Yi floated down from the hull of a tattered battleship. “As expected of you, Captain, to have brought back the death spirits’ black pyramids!”

Zhang Lie frowned. “What’s Fang Yi doing here?”

The Yeluo chieftain spread his arms. “Fang Yi was the first among all of us to interact with the death spirits and the black pyramids. I specially asked the members of Team Zenith whether any of them were familiar with the death spirits’ battleships.”

Zhang Lie sighed. He supposed there was no better choice, neither in the draconian world nor among the hunters of the Milky Way. Trying to find a researcher in the third realm was a near-impossible task. Everyone could enter the first realm, but entering the third realm required a certain level of strength.

“I never saw a black pyramid of this size within the world of black sand I was in…” Fang Yi looked at the black pyramid with admiration.

Zhang Lie groused, “If you had encountered this black pyramid from the beginning, you wouldn’t be here right now.” After all, the black spirits’ flagships possessed a strength beyond that of a superior king.

“You’re back, Zhang Lie!” Chu Feng emerged from another of the battleships.

Zhang Lie turned to the Yeluo chieftain. “You recruited Chu Feng, too?”

Chu Feng had a significant understanding of architecture, but architecture and military engineering were two separate fields entirely.

The Yeluo chieftain sighed again. “As I said, your majesty, please don’t harbor high hopes. There are no such expert researchers in the draconian world, and I don’t have a sense for these battleships myself.”

“So you widened your search criteria?”

The Yeluo chieftain nodded. “Exactly.”

Zhang Lie decided not to rely on any of these ‘researchers’.

Once the superior worlds’ meeting was over, Zhang Lie would borrow a few men from the Zongming king. After all, the Zongming world had once been a peak large world, and surely possessed some experts on this front.

“We’ve worked hard to evolve the draconian world, but it only became a large world a year and a half ago. Our foundations are patchy and full of holes.”

Zhang Lie asked, “Have any of you discovered anything? At least one of you must have, right?”

Fang Yi replied, “In fact, we did.”

“About what?” Zhang Lie asked curiously.

“About how the cores of these pyramids function and provide energy.”

Zhang Lie was extremely shocked. “You understand the nature of the power source?” How could that be?
