Chapter 794
Setting Up the Torch
Gum!
The two venerable ones were immediately struck by a realization.
They realized why Jiang Shu was so confident; it was because he needed to attract enemies in order to become stronger.
If it were just them, even with torches, they wouldn't dare to set up a coordinate.
After all, although they were all at the Venerable Realm, they were still far too weak compared to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu is different. Based on the strength he has shown so far, he is already far ahead of them. Not to mention, there may be a powerful force behind Jiang Shu.
"Don't worry, we have a plan. But where do you think the first torch should be stored?"
Jiang Shu smiled and spoke.
The two powerful figures exchanged a glance, both understanding that this might be an opportunity.
If handled well, this place where the torch is located might become the central area of the future Human Federation, and they might be able to obtain a lot of resources from it, thereby improving their strength.
however……
Huang Xuesheng gave a slight bitter smile and said, "But I won't try. Even if I did, it would be useless. Cangyu Star is just a small mining planet."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, looked up at Ming Haoxing, and asked, "What do you think?"
"This……"
Ming Haoxing pondered for a moment, then gave a wry smile. "If it's beneficial to the human race, I would naturally like to build it, but I'm worried that it might cause trouble."
"No need to worry."
Jiang Shu laughed and nodded: "I naturally know what you're worried about, but rest assured, I've made preparations!"
"Today, we'll show you just how powerful we are."
Jiang Shu immediately spoke up, patting Ming Haoxing on the shoulder, "Our strength far exceeds your imagination."
"it is good."
Ming Haoxing nodded immediately. Then, he looked up at Huang Xuesheng beside him. He had interacted extensively with Huang Xuesheng these past few days, gaining considerable insights into the laws of nature, and their relationship had gradually become closer. He asked:
"Brother Huang, would you like to go take a look together?"
Huang Xuesheng nodded. He had always been somewhat curious about the power behind Jiang Shu.
To achieve such a high status at such a young age.
This alone is enough to prove that the forces behind it are extraordinary.
In a short while, Jiang Shu led them directly to that space station.
"I didn't expect there to be a space station here. It seems this is where you built your main structure?"
"good."
Jiang Shu simply made up a reason and said, "We discovered you after much deliberation before deciding to meet you, as we must be careful in everything we do."
Huang Xuesheng nodded, naturally understanding the importance of this matter.
Soon, they arrived inside the space station. When they saw the scene inside, the two of them stopped in their tracks, their faces showing various expressions of shock.
"Zerg, Zerg!?"
Ming Haoxing stared dumbfounded at the insectoid venerable one who had appeared, his past memories surfacing: "Brother Jiang, could it be that the insectoids have invaded this place?!"
"No."
Jiang Shu slowly shook his head, then waved to the insectoid venerables.
The insectoid venerables glanced at him, nodded, and did nothing special.
With just a simple action from both sides, almost immediately, Ming Haoguang and Huang Xuesheng were left speechless.
Did the Zerg greet Jiang Shu?
Those insects that only know how to devour and kill, they actually know how to greet each other?
Ming Haoguang couldn't help but swallow hard, a few dark thoughts suddenly popping into his mind, but then he felt it was impossible.
"He did it in front of all of us, along with those Zerg Venerables and that Shattered Star King Zerg."
"How could they possibly collude with those Zerg?"
Just as the two were in shock, one gaze after another turned toward them.
Those gazes were not those of organic life, but rather cold, purely mechanical eyes.
The two swallowed hard again.
In the distance, several mechanical figures hurried past, their gazes merely glancing casually.
However, the mechanical figure at the head exuded an aura of law, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary machine.
Your Holiness!
That was a mechanical master!
For a moment, Ming Haoguang and Huang Xuesheng were both puzzled.
This space station is actually coexisting with humans, machine races, and insect races.
They haven't started fighting yet?
Looking back on what they had just witnessed, both of them were utterly shocked and completely unable to comprehend it.
Jiang Shu glanced at them lightly, which was exactly the scene he wanted them to see. He then clapped his hands and said, "Come with me. There are some things I should tell you."
The two exchanged a glance, then nodded repeatedly and hurried away.
As for the idea of escaping?
But there won't be any at all!
Huang Xuesheng had witnessed Jiang Shu subdue a star beast single-handedly, while Ming Haoguang had even seen Jiang Shu kill multiple insectoid venerables and a massive number of insectoids along with them.
Such exaggerated combat power stirred the hearts of both men, making them dare not make any unusual moves.
The three of them walked along and soon arrived at a hall.
"please."
Jiang Shu spoke up.
At this moment, Huang Xuesheng and Ming Haoguang sat down cautiously, and then Jiang Shu gently tapped the table: "Gentlemen, there is no need to worry so much. I am a human, but what you just saw was indeed a mechanical race and an insect race."
"However, we are indeed in an alliance at present, but it is not the same as what you think."
Not the same?
The two were puzzled, wondering whether Jiang Shu was telling the truth or making excuses.
Jiang Shu chuckled and shook his head, then continued, "Gentlemen, the Zerg on our side are different from the Zerg we slaughtered before. The reason for the difference lies in the fact that our queens are different. You should know the structure of the Zerg, but it revolves around the queen."
"As for the machine race, it's purely a matter of cooperation."
"In fact, we are not from this world, but come from the outside world."
"The outside world? Another planet?"
Ming Haoguang and Huang Xuesheng were immediately surprised.
Jiang Shu slowly shook his head: "It's not a division of planets, but rather the macrocosm and the microcosm. This is a long story, but you will probably have doubts in the end..."
Jiang Shu began by recounting the story of the Doomsday Cult and the outside world.
After hearing this, Ming Haoguang and Huang Xuesheng were stunned, almost unable to believe it.
If anyone else dared to say these things to them, they would probably be considered crazy.
However, it was Jiang Shu who said these words at this moment.
"I know you two don't believe me, but I can let you see it."
Jiang Shu clapped his hands lightly, then led the two away, and soon arrived at the teleportation platform on the space station.
"start!"
The teleportation platform had been prepared long ago. At Jiang Shu's command, the laws of spacetime suddenly converged, and then a vast amount of energy gathered into a door.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and shock in each other's eyes. Should they go in?
Just then, Jiang Shu chuckled and said, "I've already invited you, don't you two still want to go?"
The two exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and stepped inside.
The space-time suddenly changed, and both Venerable Ones, having mastered the laws of space, had also come into contact with the laws of time.
In the blink of an eye, the world suddenly changed, and the two found themselves on a floating island in a dark star field.
"Welcome, both of you!"
A voice rang out, and then Ming Haoguang and Huang Xuesheng saw a majestic man exuding the aura of a peak Venerable Realm expert stride towards them.
"I am Zhan Jiuxiao, the vice leader of the Human Race War Alliance of the Great Universe. I greet you all."
Battle the Nine Heavens!?
The two of them quickly raised their hands in greeting.
"Two more people have come with me to introduce you to the affairs of the universe."
Zhan Jiuxiao spoke.
Big universe?
The two were still filled with doubt.
……
Several days later, at the outer space station of Cangyu Star, the teleportation gate suddenly lit up, and two Venerables walked out with extremely complicated expressions.
"Gentlemen, now do you believe that I have not lied to you?"
Jiang Shu said with a smile.
Ming Haoguang and Huang Xuesheng both had extremely complicated expressions, and then silently nodded.
They never imagined that the world they lived in was just a tiny microcosm.
In the vast universe outside, there is no such thing as a subspace or a great catastrophe.
"I see……"
Huang Xuesheng sighed and then said, "No wonder the humans, insectoids, and machine races cooperated. It turns out you all come from the outer universe."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, "But there's no problem with that. We are both human, and we will lend a helping hand while also seeking benefits."
The two venerable ones nodded.
They had already determined that the people outside were also human, and since they were all human, it didn't really matter.
In any case, within this world, everything is separated by decades, and the microcosm is no different from the outside world.
"So, you're planning to just erect a torch?"
"good."
Jiang Shu nodded, "This is just to give you confidence. With our strength, as long as no saint appears, even if the torch attracts a large number of powerful individuals, we can handle it with ease. If they really want to oppose us..."
At this point, Jiang Shu grinned and said, "Then there's nothing more to say, let's just get started. The Torch needs the corpses of Venerable-level beings as fuel anyway."
"Alright, what do you two think?"
"If you don't want to, you can set up a torch on the Zerg planet you found earlier, but it will be much more troublesome."
Ming Haoguang pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Perhaps we can set up a torch there. I will persuade those two fellow Daoists."
"So good."
Jiang Shu nodded in satisfaction.
A moment later, Ming Haoguang hurriedly returned to Canglan Kingdom.
However, a few days later, the news spread immediately: the three Venerables had all agreed to set up a torch in the Canglan Kingdom.
Jiang Shu immediately led a large group of powerful individuals to Canglan Kingdom.
Unlike Cangyu Star, this kingdom occupies a planetary system. Although many of its outposts on planets other than the main star have been destroyed by the war due to the rampage of the Zerg, the main star remains intact.
Jiang Shu stepped forward, and the other two venerable ones arrived at a desolate planet.
"Just right here."
Jiang Shu immediately spoke, then raised his hand and grabbed, and the torch, as large as a mountain, suddenly flew over.
The mechanical envoy personally arrived and began to lay the foundation for this place. Soon, a torch was planted here.
"start up."
Jiang Shu raised his hand and pointed, injecting energy into it. In an instant, the top of the torch suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented light.
The vast power of the laws of space and time flowed out from it, and even the distant subspace seemed to be much calmer, as if it were under considerable suppression.
Endless light emanated from it, just like another sun, and even ordinary people on the main star could see it clearly.
"The torch has been raised..."
The three Venerables, Ming Haoguang, Li Hanyi, and Chen Huanran, all looked extremely nervous.
After all, they didn't know whether those following the torch were well-intentioned or malicious.
……
Crimson Sky Starfield.
The sun shines brightly in the sky, illuminating countless worlds. Above this orbit, the third planet is a habitable planet.
Meanwhile, outside this star field lies a boundless subspace, where space and time are in constant chaos.
And it is within the third planet in that orbit—Minghao Star.
Suddenly, one powerful figure after another flew out of the planet, staring in astonishment at the chaotic and disordered subspace.
Among them were even two Venerable-level powerhouses.
At this moment, they stared blankly at the chaotic and boundless subspace in the distance, completely stunned.
In the past, the subspace was nothing but utter chaos, from which anything could emerge, lasting only a moment and vanishing in an instant.
However, at this moment, an extremely bright halo appeared in the distant subspace.
The halo shone brightly, just like a star in the far distance.
The two Venerables of the Crimson Sky Starfield stared intently into the distance.
One of them spoke up, "What is that thing? It hasn't changed at all. Could it be... could it be..."
"That's right, you and I were right, that's the coordinates!"
Another venerable one suppressed his excitement and spoke.
Good coordinates!
The light that shone in the subspace was broadcasting its own coordinates, like a guiding star locating itself.
These two venerable ones were naturally extremely intelligent, and they immediately understood the meaning—it symbolized that an unknown force had suddenly revealed their location in the darkness!
"how?"
"Go in that direction, go to those coordinates, we have to go no matter what!"
One of the venerable ones immediately gritted his teeth and spoke.
I once ventured into the subspace, but after searching for countless years, I couldn't find any other star systems. Instead, I was extremely unlucky and got lost in them.
If they didn't know the coordinates of their own planet, the two Venerable Ones probably wouldn't have been able to return.
However, right now, a clear coordinate has appeared before their eyes.
This is a glimmer of hope!
How could I not go?
"Let's go, let's go together!" (End of Chapter)
