Chapter 812
Return
Subspace, outside the Mingkuang star sector.
Jiang Shu stepped out and, upon seeing the bustling caravan, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Good. At least there was no damage here."
Jiang Shu soared into the air and approached the planets. Just then, a figure suddenly flew in from a distance.
"Jiang Shu, what happened? Why haven't you returned for so long?"
Elder Lei's imposing figure appeared before Jiang Shu, his voice tinged with worry.
"This is a setup..."
Jiang Shu smiled wryly and said helplessly.
"We've been set up?"
Elder Lei's expression changed, and then he realized that the mechanical Venerable Electric Current had not followed. As if he had thought of something, he immediately pulled Jiang Shu into the desolate planet of the Mingkuang Star Sector.
It happened very quickly. Jiang Shu underwent another period of examination and was only released after it was confirmed that there were absolutely no problems.
At this moment, the Zerg Venerable Blood Scythe, Elder Lei, and the mechanical envoy who had previously reached the late stage of the realm all approached, wanting to ask Jiang Shu what he had experienced.
"What I've been through is too complicated to explain in a few words..."
Jiang Shu shook his head slightly, and finally said, "I followed the coordinates I obtained from the previous soul search and traveled all the way, and then found a star field where orcs lived."
"Because the star field is filled with the power of faith, there is also a beastman venerable. Although he is only at the early stage of the venerable realm, he can indeed unleash a killing move that is close to the peak of the venerable realm with his massive amount of faith power."
Upon hearing these words, the three Venerables were all startled.
Have you reached the threshold of the peak of the Venerable Realm?
The Venerable One was able to unleash this skill in the early stages?
It even seemed somewhat unbelievable.
However, Jiang Shu then extracted the scene he had witnessed, which finally convinced these venerable ones to believe it.
"And then what, unless you're seriously injured and then recuperate in that star system?"
Blood Scythe couldn't help but speak up.
"How could this be..."
Jiang Shu waved his hand, "I wasn't injured at the time. Instead, I followed the electric current into the subspace to hide. But soon, a force field designed by the electric current was able to shield my perception of faith."
“We entered that space to explore it. Then I became curious about its power of faith, so I separated a wisp of my soul and occupied the body of an orc, using his body and bloodline to study the path of faith.”
"Oh?"
Since it concerned the path of faith, everyone present immediately became very interested.
After all, the laws of faith are very rare even in the outside world.
Jiang Shu sighed and then recounted his experiment.
This includes the process of starting to possess other bodies and then discovering that the clone is gradually becoming manic and irritable.
In response, the mechanical god immediately asserted: "There must be an external force at play. Otherwise, with your Venerable-level divine soul strength, those orcs' simple faith power would never have been able to affect you before it reached a certain level."
"That's right, that's what I think too."
Jiang Shu nodded helplessly and continued, "So, I did some experiments."
He then recounted part of the experiment, and in doing so, he specifically reminded him to avoid the mechanical current master.
"That night, the clone encountered a problem; his soul seemed to be being dragged away by something. I tried to stop it, but..."
Jiang Shu's face was gloomy as he continued, "But he was pulled into a fragment of cosmic light by that orc saint."
Upon hearing the words "fragments of cosmic light," the three Venerable Ones immediately became interested.
This might mean some important knowledge from the past.
Jiang Shu didn't hold back much and told them what had happened. As expected, the three Venerables were overjoyed, especially when he repeated what the orc saint had said.
"That orc venerable told me..." Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, perfectly mimicking the other's tone, and then said, "The Black Tide...destruction..."
Upon hearing these words, the three Venerable Ones present fell silent.
"What is the Black Tide?" Elder Lei couldn't help but ask.
"Especially what I'm about to talk about."
Jiang Shu sighed, and then he recounted how he had been besieged by the Mechanical Venerable's electric current when he left the star field.
"He brought several monsters with him at the time. Those monsters were called Ember Annihilation Void Puppets. They were covered in an aura of destruction, and wherever they went, everything would be destroyed."
"Besides that, even if you want to kill them, you need to use the laws of creation to create a conflict of laws. Simply killing them is completely useless, because their concept of destruction will pollute other things."
Jiang Shu spoke up.
These words caused many of the powerful figures present to take a deep breath.
If they didn't disbelieve it.
The amount of information in this content is simply overwhelming.
"This small universe once encountered a devastating black tide and almost fell into true destruction, so why did those saints disappear?"
"Perhaps, but the important thing is that we understand how to deal with the Black Tide of the Doomsday Cult."
"No, didn't your Venerable Jiang already say that unless we can organize an army with a large number of Creation Laws, it will be of no use against a large-scale Black Tide?"
The venerable ones began to discuss amongst themselves, clearly trying to uncover the truth of the matter.
Jiang Shu showed a hint of helplessness.
A moment later, the powerful figures stopped arguing and turned their attention to the mechanical envoy, Resistor.
"Fellow Daoist Resistors, you must give us an explanation!"
"Another traitor has emerged among your mechanical race, and he even dares to kill our human race's prodigy."
"We should conduct a self-examination, and I'm afraid those previous rumors, those things said by traitors, are true."
Both the Terran and Zerg spoke coldly, their tone quite unfriendly.
The Venerable One immediately spoke up, "We will conduct an investigation. This investigation will directly examine the core and will not disappoint you two. Our mechanical team will never repeat the same mistake."
"That's good."
Elder Lei nodded slightly, but there was little trust in the mechanical race in his eyes.
There's no way around it; some things can be done once or twice, but not a third time.
Although the Mech race represents resistance, it does not mean that they cannot penetrate and erode.
Even those mechanical mothers probably don't know exactly how many mechanical races are being directly controlled and operated.
"Ugh, this is such a hassle!"
Jiang Shu slowly shook his head, then said, "The physical bodies of those three Ember Annihilation Void Puppets haven't been fully revealed yet. Do we have any experts here who are skilled in the Laws of Creation? We could send them to deal with those."
"Do you specialize in the Laws of Creation? Yes!"
Elder Lei nodded immediately.
The War Alliance is the largest human power, so it is naturally very powerful, and it has almost all the Venerables of various schools of thought.
"We also have a powerful cultivator of the Laws of Creation among our Zerg. Please wait a moment." A few days later, two figures were sent over through various channels.
One of them was a human woman, quite beautiful, dressed in white, and appeared to be unskilled in fighting.
As for the insectoid one, it was much more bizarre, its body covered with different light-emitting organs, and the light it emitted exuded an aura of creation.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Shu immediately spoke and led the two Venerables toward the airspace where the orcs were.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, is there truly some destructive energy surrounding that place?"
The female venerable one, Lin Tianran, spoke up.
"That's right, only the laws of creation can alleviate this, but I'm not proficient in the laws of creation..."
Jiang Shu shook his head with a wry smile.
After hearing these words, the Shadow Bug said, "In that case, its status among the Zerg should also rise accordingly."
Jiang Shu chuckled softly, but said nothing more.
With his familiarity with the route, Jiang Shu quickly led the two Venerables to the place. At this time, the chaotic and destructive aura here had not yet dissipated.
"really……"
Lin Tianran frowned slightly, as if she had an instinctive aversion to this place.
She looked up and, sure enough, saw three muddy areas.
Lin Tianran raised his hand, and his palm immediately emitted bursts of brilliant golden light, rippling endlessly.
At this moment, the golden light encountered the black mud, just like iron encountering ice.
The black mud, exuding an aura of destruction, began to collapse rapidly, as if it had encountered a fundamental conflict with the laws of nature.
Meanwhile, the light-emitting insect beside it also shone brightly, unleashing a torrent of creation laws that enveloped the world.
Then, very quickly, many traces left behind by the great battle disappeared one by one.
Jiang Shu breathed a slight sigh of relief. He wasn't happy for the orcs, but simply because he had extinguished their destructive aura.
That's it.
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, glanced around at everyone present, and finally said, "The work is done. Let's leave as soon as possible, and be careful."
Upon hearing these words, the two people beside him, who were both at the Venerable Realm, would not easily lose their composure.
After a short while, they retreated into subspace and, taking care of themselves, quickly returned to the Bright Vision Sector.
Upon returning to this star system, Jiang Shu immediately sought out Elder Lei and Blood Scythe, sharing the video recordings and insights he had just obtained.
The two late-stage Venerable Realm experts carefully examined the situation and became increasingly convinced that the Doomsday Cult's use of this microcosm was inherently fraught with hidden dangers.
"Hidden dangers?"
What exactly is the hidden danger being used?
Just as everyone was pondering this, Jiang Shu spoke up, "Perhaps we could also post notices stating that if anyone sees this thing within their own planet's territory, they can report it and be exempted from some taxes."
Upon hearing this, some people nodded in approval.
After all, enticing someone with benefits is one of the best methods.
Soon, news about the Extinction Void Puppet spread, causing a huge uproar.
After all, these kinds of monsters, which are difficult to kill and seem endless, are the hardest to defend against.
Even a saint, let alone a venerable one, cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.
Ultimately, even if all the information is known, intelligence methods will still be necessary.
The trading platform they established is undoubtedly a top-tier information and intelligence platform.
After all, they were the only option.
Monopoly means immense power!
However, a few days later, a message came through.
“Brother Jiang, we have news. There is a star field where the Extinction Void Puppets exist, and there are quite a few of them. The natives of that star field have been fighting with those Extinction Void Puppets for decades, and the battle is still undecided.”
The war winds arrived swiftly, bringing with them the corresponding intelligence.
"Oh?"
Jiang Shu's face also showed a hint of surprise, "We have intelligence so quickly."
Undoubtedly, this speed has exceeded his expectations.
He reached out and grasped the intelligence report, then began to peruse it.
"The Dawn Starfield has a total of seven habitable planets, four of which have been modified accordingly. When they first appeared in space decades ago, sporadic Ember Void Puppets began to appear."
"After the local powerful figures killed it, the Ember Void Puppet became infected, destroying a region. In the end, it devoured different killings, giving rise to more and more needs for destruction."
"There happened to be a cultivator at the tenth level of the Law of Creation there, who barely managed to withstand the spread of destruction at the beginning."
Jiang Shu pondered seriously, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
“That’s interesting. Those Ember Void Puppets appeared decades ago when the subspace had just emerged. Perhaps there was a connection between the two.”
Jiang Shu was overjoyed and prepared to go and take a look.
He immediately greeted Elder Lei.
Elder Lei pondered for a moment and then agreed.
The reason is simple: the combat power of the Venerable Ones in their later stages is far beyond what the three groups can match.
If Jiang Shu is the vanguard, at least he can return alive. But if someone else is sent, it's hard to say.
Before long, Jiang Shu found the navigator sent by that star system.
By this time, the navigator had been waiting for a long time.
As Jiang Shu pushed open the door and entered a conference hall, a figure hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Venerable Jiang. My name is Su Mingyu, and I am a navigator dispatched from the Morning Light Star Region."
Su Mingyu looked to be about thirty years old. Her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and she looked clean and neat. She was also quite good-looking.
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, revealing a gentle demeanor: "No need to be nervous. I am here to resolve the issue of the Annihilation Void Puppet in your Morning Light Starfield. Those monsters may involve the existence of the subspace."
"Yes."
Su Mingyu was overjoyed.
After all, anyone whose planet has monsters would want someone to wipe them all out.
And now, it seems she has encountered a potentially powerful senior figure.
Having gone through all this time, she still had some trust in Jiang Shuyi, or rather, in the Mingkuang Star Region platform.
After all, she felt that her hometown was of little value and had nothing of value.
"How is the cargo? Can we set off now?" Jiang Shu asked with a smile.
Su Mingyu nodded repeatedly, "Reporting to Senior, we are selling resource-related items and purchasing military supplies. Preparations are almost complete, and we are ready to return at any time." (End of Chapter)
