Chapter 61: The Reason for the Purple Sky
Chapter 61: The Reason for the Purple Sky
The hover car sped along the highway.
After crossing the desert, the native plants of Skrul began to appear outside the window.
These plants were entirely different from those on Earth, primarily in shades of blue and red, yet they possessed a unique and striking beauty.
Su Yu set up a camera by the window, recording the scenery outside. This footage would be a valuable resource.
He also took a seat by the window to enjoy the alien landscape.
Apart from the scenery, Su Yu had another concern: the color of the sky.
When he first arrived in this world, the sky was an eerie light purple, completely different from the Skrul imagery from his previous life.
Now, as he traveled toward the capital city of Trenera in the Lankter Alliance, he noticed that the purple in the sky was not fading but growing more intense.
Looking through the hover car's glass, he saw the sky ahead had turned a deep purple, with faint currents of energy swirling within.
Faced with this situation, Su Yu turned to his "personal assistant," Morning Star, for advice.
Morning Star waved her cat paws and, after a quick search, provided an answer:: "The answer is already become clear. you. was. blame you.....,. you is your fault."

?"
"Of course it is!" Morning Star pointed to a news article on her phone,. The article showed a massive floating island falling from the sky:
.
"Initially, you had detonated this island, and the sheer number of explosive spirit tanks on it caused a massive surge of chaotic spirit energy to surge into the sky, leading to the current situation.
"The god-level experts of Skrul couldn't control such a vast amount of energy. Only Trenera City, but the entire planet has been significantly affected."
Su Yu realized.
"So that's why the sky turned purple!" he exclaimed, understanding.
.
The change in the sky's color was indeed a result of that massive explosion.
In its normal state, spirit energy appears milky white, but when it becomes chaotic, it turns purple. This phenomenon is observed not only on Skrul but also on Earth.
Su Yu recalled the spirit energy gushing from the mantle at the Yunlu Spring, part of it was milky white, and the other part was light purple.
The entire sky of Skrul turning purple was due to the chaotic spirit energy rising. No wonder the pioneers from his previous life didn't see a purple sky when they first arrived on Skrul.
"Looks like the residents of the Lankter Alliance should thank me," Su Yu said with a grin after taking a sweet date.
"Thank you?" Morning Star looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"You destroyed their floating island, and they're supposed to thank you? What kind of logic is that?"
"Of course," Su Yu said confidently. "Purple is the identity color for LGBT individuals in the Lankter Alliance. Now that the sky is purple, many LGBT people will likely praise the destruction of the floating island as a sign of divine approval."
"I don't believe it!" Morning Star angrily searched the internet.
But the results left her stunned! There were indeed Skrul people who believed that "the sky's purple hue was a divine recognition for LGBT individuals," and many others supported this view.
This shattered Morning Star's worldview, leaving her speechless for a long moment.
However, while browsing the forums, she discovered a crucial piece of information.
After verifying the information through other sources, Morning Star turned to Su Yu. "Ke Xin, I found some important information. Do you want to hear it?"
"Go on," Su Yu said, shifting his gaze from the window to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing read from her phone:
"On the day the floating island fell, the eighth-rank Divine Psionicist, 'Stym,' used his immense power to halt the island's descent. However, he couldn't handle the vast amount of psionic energy on the island and could only place it 40 kilometers north of Trener City, sealing it with a barrier. The psionic energy within the barrier is too immense and increasingly volatile, and there's a high risk it could break the seal and cause a secondary explosion. In a desperate move, Stym had to periodically release some of the pent-up psionic energy, much like opening the valve on a pressure cooker. The released energy was absorbed by the flora and fauna around the seal, creating many terrifying monsters. Now, many cultivators from all over the country have gathered there to slay these monsters and absorb the psionic energy within their bodies to enhance their strength. Should we go and check it out?"
After listening to Chen Xing's description, Su Yu was somewhat intrigued: "The floating island's seal, huh?"
However, after a moment of thought, he said, "Let's first establish ourselves in Trener City and assess the situation before making any decisions. Also, we need to find out more about our two seniors and see if we can locate them."
"Agreed," Chen Xing nodded. "It's crucial to get to Trener City first. Plans can change in an instant, so we can consider our options later."
Su Yu said earnestly, "Chen Xing, could you help me gather information on the high-ranking experts of the Rentek Alliance? The more we know, the smoother our journey will be."
"Sure," Chen Xing nodded and started searching on her phone.
After a short while, she read from the screen, "The strongest member of the Alliance is Stym, an eighth-rank Divine Psionicist, who specializes in casting large-scale psionic spells. According to records, he once destroyed a city of 200,000 people with a single spell when he was at the seventh rank."
"Got it," Su Yu nodded and recorded Chen Xing's words, converting them into text for storage.
"Next is Victoria, the eighth-rank Divine Psionicist known as the 'Shining Empress.' Her profession is the relatively rare Psionic Telepath, and like you, she excels at manipulating others' minds."
"Following her is Brook, a seventh-rank Legendary Psionic Warrior."
Chen Xing read through the details from the search engine to Su Yu.
While the information from the search engine might not be entirely accurate, most of it was still useful. Su Yu decided to record everything and refine it later.
The flying car traveled at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, and after a little over two hours, Su Yu and Chen Xing arrived at the capital, Trener City.
Before leaving the highway, Su Yu stored the camera and "Sweet Date" in his necklace to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
After leaving the highway, they approached the toll station, where the automated system quickly verified Su Yu's passport and granted them passage.
However, just one minute after Su Yu left the toll station, the "Alien Capture General Command Center" in Trener City received an urgent alert: "Warning! Alien traces detected at the Rocky Station toll gate!"
"Warning! Alien traces detected at the Rocky Station toll gate!"
"Warning! Alien traces detected at the Rocky Station toll gate!"
The alert blared loudly in the command center five times before stopping.
