Chapter 1491: 15 Years? (Thanks to Cal for the 688 reward!)
"Lord Dixin?" Chant's eyes lit up.
But her gaze quickly dimmed, her eyes losing their luster. "Hold on, let me calculate."
Chant entered her calculation mode.
Morningstar the Cat's eyes also brightened, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Right, Su Yu, I forgot you had this ace up your sleeve!"
Lord Dixin had been their backup plan, set in motion ten years ago.
When they left Earth ten years ago, Su Yu specifically recreated Dixin's body.
It was an extremely special and expensive body, based on the Saint Silver Human form and infused with characteristics of four-dimensional beings.
This body was incredibly costly, costing Su Yu a staggering 80 trillion Saint Silver Coins!
However, this body was also incredibly powerful. Building on the natural abilities of the Saint Silver Humans, Dixin could also use the "Civilization Binding Technique."
Of course, since it only incorporated some characteristics of four-dimensional beings and not the full form, Dixin's Civilization Binding speed was not as fast as Su Yu's.
But ten years had passed, and even if Dixin's binding process was slow, he must have bound a significant number of intelligent beings in the Lunya Hub by now.
The "Civilization Binding" technique had another feature: it could be transferred.
When intelligent beings in Lunya bound themselves to Lord Dixin, he gained a large amount of Feedback Power.
Simultaneously, Dixin swore allegiance to Su Yu.
Dixin could then transfer this Feedback Power to Su Yu, to fill his "Pond."
...
Looking at the excited Morningstar, Su Yu smiled. "Before Lord Dixin went to the Lunya Hub, I instructed him to store the Feedback Power externally, waiting for me to retrieve it. This is a significant amount of power!"
Previously, when Su Yu obtained Feedback Power, he would absorb it directly. However, there was another option: storing it externally.
The "store externally" option was primarily for the convenience of Overlords. For example, Dixin could transfer his Feedback Power to Su Yu.
Dixin could also absorb the Feedback Power himself and then extract it later.
However, absorbing and then extracting the power would significantly reduce Dixin's strength and cause irreversible damage to his physical body.
For example, if one of Su Yu's Subordinates, an Eighth Rank Expert, absorbed Feedback Power to reach the Planetary Rank, Su Yu, as the Overlord, could extract all of that Feedback Power from the Subordinate.
But the Subordinate's strength would drop from the Planetary Rank back to the Eighth Rank, and the enhanced physical strength would be stripped away, leaving them in a dire state—possibly dead or severely injured.
When Su Yu helped Dixin reshape his body, he had already decided that Dixin would store all future Feedback Power externally and not absorb it himself.
In the future, the entire Milky Way would follow the same rule: all Feedback Power would belong to Su Yu alone.
Dixin would only be Su Yu's collector, not competing for any resources, allowing Su Yu to advance as quickly as possible.
...
"I'll help you calculate", Morningstar said, tilting her head. "Five colonized planets + Lord Dixin's Feedback Power, plus the Feedback Power from the Figer Hub over the next few years... Oh, Su Yu..."
Morningstar thought of something. "How long do we need to stay here?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Based on my estimate, it will take at least ten years."
He looked at Morningstar. "Binding five planets, plus the Feedback Power from the Figer Hub, Lord Dixin, and the revived humans on Earth over the next ten years, I think it will be enough to advance me to the Stellar Rank."
He turned to Chant. "Lady Chant, what do you think?"
Chant had just finished her calculations, and her eyes were bright again.
She nodded. "While the situation with Dixin is uncertain, based on my calculations, it should be close. However, there's a discrepancy in the timeline. My calculations suggest it will take about 15 years, in Earth time."
"15 years?" Su Yu was taken aback, his expression stiffening.
Adding these 15 years, his total time away would be 25 years. He would be 55 years old, nearly half of his life!
It seemed advancing to the Stellar Rank was no easy feat, taking so long.
"Indeed, it will take 15 years", Chant said seriously. "Securing the five colonized planets is not as easy as you think.
These five planets do not have Planetary Ais like Gryla-13, where controlling the Planetary AI means controlling all the low-rank Mechs. You will need to control these Mechs in batches.
Additionally..."
Chant looked at Su Yu. "The Carbon-Based Lifeforms on these five colonized planets won't just bow down to you. To gain their genuine allegiance, you will need both methods and time.
Therefore, I estimate it will take about 15 years."
