Chapter 316: A Mirror? Guidance from the Divine Being
Chapter 316: A Mirror? Guidance from the Divine Being
Li Yuan stared at the gigantic flying snake in the void, his heart initially startled, but he quickly calmed himself. His mind raced, "Since Elder Yu and the genius of the Thousand Demon Civilization could enter the mothership alive, there's no reason I should be an exception."
Li Yuan's bold intrusion was largely due to a precedent. If those who entered before him had perished, Li Yuan would not have taken the risk.
"This shadow is likely an auxiliary detection intelligence of the mothership, similar to the 'Tier Four Warship' of my Seven Stars Civilization. It performs preliminary scans when personnel enter or exit."
"Also, did he say 'want to die'?"
"If they wanted to kill me completely, there's no need for such complications. They could just kill me directly," Li Yuan thought to himself.
In an instant, Li Yuan had figured it out—there was a chance for survival.
"Senior," Li Yuan spoke up immediately, "I accidentally stumbled in here, I didn't mean to offend."
"Hmph!"
"If it were anyone else, not of our clan, who trespassed into the mothership, they should be killed," the flying snake shadow said coldly. "However, the mothership has already crashed. According to the joint orders left by the clan elders and the Divine Beings... any life that enters the mothership, as long as they are not our enemies, will be given a chance."
"Clan elders? Divine Beings?" Li Yuan's heart stirred slightly. Could there be two forces within this mothership?
"Senior, what opportunity are you speaking of?" Li Yuan asked respectfully.
"If you're willing to become a soldier of our clan and take on the corresponding responsibilities, you can live," the flying snake shadow said, looking down at Li Yuan.
"What responsibilities?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.
"It's just to become a soldier. The responsibilities won't be too heavy," the flying snake shadow said in a low voice. "Choose, either die or become a soldier."
"I'll become a soldier," Li Yuan said helplessly. Was there even a choice?
"If you were a Tier 3 life form, it would be easy to qualify as a soldier," the flying snake shadow said slowly. "But since you're only a Tier 2 life form, you can only serve as a reserve soldier for now... Most Tier 2 life forms struggle to reach Tier 3, so there must be a necessary test."
"If your strength is insufficient and you can't pass the test, you won't be able to become a reserve soldier," the flying snake shadow glanced at Li Yuan, revealing a hint of fang. "If you don't pass, then you'll have to die!"
Li Yuan remained calm, as this was within his expectations.
Previously, Lei Hui Beast King had mentioned that even if he took a different soldier's passage, he would still need to undergo the necessary tests to receive star art teachings and weapons.
"What is the test?" Li Yuan asked.
"Look over there," the flying snake shadow pointed to a spot not far from them in this space.
Buzz! Buzz! Surprisingly, a large amount of silver liquid condensed and appeared out of thin air on the originally smooth ground. These liquids gathered and formed a nearly transparent silver mirror in mid-air.
At the top of the mirror, there was a row of eye-catching black crystals, resembling a row of indicator lights at first glance.
"A mirror?" Li Yuan's heart stirred.
"Your test is simple," the flying snake shadow said softly. "Demonstrate your full strength and attack this silver mirror. Do you see the 'test lights' at the top of the mirror?"
"If you can light up six lights, you can skip the reserve soldier status and be directly granted the ordinary soldier status," the flying snake shadow explained.
Li Yuan immediately understood.
Lighting up six lights represented possessing Flying Heaven-rank combat power, which naturally qualified him for the ordinary soldier status would be granted directly.
"Begin."
"You can use any combat techniques, but you're not allowed to use external objects like Primordial Energy weapons," the flying snake shadow said in a low voice. "You can attack multiple times, and as long as your strongest attack can light up three lights within one minute, you'll pass the test."
"Understood," Li Yuan nodded, not wanting to waste any more time.
After all, he only had one minute.
Boom!
Li Yuan transformed, his body now five meters tall, exuding a majestic aura as he unleashed the 'Divine Body of All Things'. Holding a long lance, he charged towards the enormous silver mirror like a streak of light.
Li Yuan's speed exploded, surpassing six times the speed of sound in an instant, clearly demonstrating the 'Wind Feather' technique. The faster he moved, the more terrifying his lance technique became.
"Earth! Wind!" Li Yuan channeled the essence of two true intentions, giving it his all.
"Whoosh!"
A dazzling lance beam slashed through the air for hundreds of meters, surrounded by a faint true intention domain airflow, making its power even more terrifying. It struck the silver mirror like lightning.
"Boom~"
A terrifying explosion sounded, not the six or nine lights Li Yuan had expected... This enormous silver mirror shattered.
The powerful backlash sent Li Yuan flying back, his entire body numb with shock.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh! Countless silver mirror fragments shot out in all directions, filling the space with crisp collision sounds.
As the fragments touched the smooth ground, they merged back into it, disappearing without a trace.
The test lights had long dissipated.
Silence filled the space.
"Senior?"
Li Yuan turned to look at the stunned flying snake shadow, unable to hold back, "Does this mean I passed the test?"
The flying snake shadow remained silent, a complex expression in its eyes, before finally sighing, "Yes, you passed. Being able to shatter a Tier 2 silver mirror means your attack power has reached the 35th level... of course, you passed."
"It's a pity that you're of a different race. If you were of our bloodline, possessing such formidable strength at the second stage, according to the elders' instructions, you might have a chance to directly inherit the position of 'Clan Leader' and take charge of the entire mothership." The Flying Snake Phantom sighed, "What a shame."
Clan Leader? Li Yuan's heart stirred.
Before Li Yuan could ask further, the Flying Snake Phantom turned its gaze towards the distant void.
Li Yuan was slightly startled, wondering if there was someone else.
Suddenly, numerous beams of light converged, forming another phantom in the void. This figure stood over three meters tall, clad in heavy armor, and resembled the Blue Star beings, but with a single black horn growing from its head. Its gaze fell upon Li Yuan, causing him to feel a subtle pressure.
Li Yuan had a vague sense that this horned figure seemed even more formidable than the Flying Snake Phantom.
"Lord Qiu Bing, this young man's strength, you've just witnessed it yourself," the Flying Snake Phantom said, looking at the horned figure, "I've also conducted a preliminary scan. He seems to be only 20 years old."
"As for his star pulse talent, to have cultivated such a powerful body transformation art at the second stage... I need not say more."
"In any case, this is a good seedling. It's up to you to seize this opportunity." The Flying Snake Phantom shook its head, "If he didn't lack our bloodline, I would never let you have him."
"I understand," the horned figure nodded.
"Young man, what's your name?" The Flying Snake Phantom asked Li Yuan.
"Ling Qiang," Li Yuan replied.
"Ling Qiang, this fellow with a rough appearance, is Lord Qiu Bing, also known as the 'Divine Being Envoy'. How much benefit you'll receive depends on him." The Flying Snake Phantom said, "I'll take my leave now... If you manage to reach the inner core cabin of the mothership, we might meet again."
"Wait!"
"I've recorded your information and granted you 'Ordinary Soldier' permissions. Later, you can go to the 'Star Art Library' and 'Weapon Armory' to obtain star arts and weapons on your own."
With a flash, the Flying Snake Phantom disappeared.
In that space, only the horned figure and Li Yuan remained.
"Senior Lord Qiu Bing," Li Yuan saluted respectfully.
"Just call me Senior Qiu," the horned figure looked down at Li Yuan, "Your potential is very high. Since the mothership's crash-landing ten thousand years ago, numerous lives have entered the mothership, but in terms of potential, you're likely the highest among them, nodded in agreement.
Ten thousand years! It's been ten thousand years since the Ancient God Palace fell into the Lieyu Star Realm... Could this mothership also be connected to that ancient battle of the deities?
"That Flying Snake was an outer layer trainer. Ordinary soldiers like you usually follow his commands, and he's in charge of many affairs on the outer layer of the mothership." Lord Qiu Bing explained, "As for me, I'm one of the six Divine Beings left behind, responsible for the Divine Being Zone, hence the title 'Divine Being Envoy'."
"Divine Being?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference?"
"It starts with the origin of the mothership," Lord Qiu Bing's voice deepened, "This entire mothership is one of the 'Heavenly Snake Clan's' civilizational bases... The Heavenly Snakes are known for their strength, alongside the True Phoenix and Divine Dragon, and are even more powerful. If a pure-blooded Heavenly Snake reaches maturity, it can attain godhood."
"Many pure-blooded Heavenly Snakes easily become powerful deities."
"The Heavenly Snake Clan?" Li Yuan was secretly surprised, realizing the truth.
Suddenly, Li Yuan thought of that Beast Emperor. No wonder he called himself 'Heavenly Snake', probably knowing part of the truth.
"Of course, pure-blooded Heavenly Snakes are extremely rare."
"This mothership was prepared by a Heavenly Snake deity before a fierce battle. He had his bloodline descendants take it and leave." Lord Qiu Bing slowly explained, "The Heavenly Snakes are naturally promiscuous. That deity and many half-gods of various tribes mated, leaving behind descendants with a trace of Heavenly Snake blood. Many tribes in the Mingxu World contain a strand of Heavenly Snake blood.
"Otherwise, how could they so easily reach the Flying Heaven Rank?"
Li Yuan's face revealed a hint of embarrassment.
How did they know about the Mingxu World?
"Don't be surprised. The mothership's power core chamber was destroyed, and it's suppressed by the star realm's origin, unable to move. But a mothership monitoring millions of miles is a simple matter, let alone a small star realm?" Lord Qiu Bing said, "We occasionally use instruments to investigate, so we're generally aware."
Li Yuan's face turned slightly red.
"Don't worry."
"The Mingxu Beast Tribe only has a trace of Heavenly Snake blood. They aren't true 'Heavenly Snake Descendants'. We won't interfere in your war with the Mingxu Beast Tribe." Lord Qiu Bing continued, "Many secrets will be revealed in the future if the opportunity arises."
"However..."
"Those Mingxu Beast Tribe members, though not considered Heavenly Snake descendants, do possess a strand of Heavenly Snake blood. So, they'll receive some preferential treatment within the mothership and can directly enter the inner layers."
"As for outsiders like you, you'll have to find a way to enter from the Divine Being Zone, which will be extremely challenging."
